Not only here in Meyersdale but in
our neighboring towns, the same good
story is heard. An encouraging in-
stance from Berlin is given here, and
will be read by us with great interest.
Mrs George H. Bingner, North S¢.,
Berlin, Pa., says: ‘‘I think that a
strain was the cause of kidney trouble
in my case. My whole body was
lame and stiff and chills and dizzy
spells annoyed me. I knew that I
must check the trouble before it got
too firm a hold ‘and deciding to
give Doan’s Kidney Pills a trial, I
got a supply. The first dose helped
me and gradually, the symptoms of
the trouble untill was weil. I have had
no reason to change my high opin-
ion of Doan’s Kidney Pills since
publicly recommending them some
years ago. Ihave taken this remedy
off and on, since learning of its merit
and never failed to get prompt and
satisfactory relief. Others of my
family have used Doan’s Kidney Pilis
with good results.

Preparing Ripe Peachss.
“The best ffuit in the world is that
which is home-grown and ripened on
the trees,” said State Zoologist H. A,
Surface at his Harrisburg office. Pro-|-
fessor Surface, whose large orchards
near Mechanicsburg are full of fruit
this year, added that the difficulty in
letting fruits ripen on the trees is that
they are liable to be soft when they
reach the consumer, and many pe:-
sons want fruit firm for canning or
preserving. The ripe fruits, especial-
ly peaches, are really the best, be-
cause they are sweetest, and there is
not as much waste as is usually sup-
posed if they are peeled by the pre-
per method. This consistsjof nothing
more nor less than scalding them,
just as tomatoes are scalded, and then
slipping off the skin without cutting
the fruit. This is a ‘‘fruit trick”
worth trying at this time of the year.
The best part of all fruit lies imme-
diately beneath the skin. When it is
peeled or cut away with a knife the|
portion with the greatest fruit flavor|
and aroma is removed. When itis
scalded and the skin only removed,
remains. Also, it is not necessory to
cook fruit that is ripé for such length
of time that it will make it into shape-
less pulp. It is really enough to put
it into jars without cooking, and can
it with hot syrup. It is easier to pre-
pare real ripe fruit, and there is less
waste, better flavor, and more nutri-
tion, than in green fruit.
During this year, when other foods
are high in price and fruits are cheap,
it is important to know that the best
ripened fruits can be qnickly, easily,
and economically prepared by the
method described above, and the].
flavor retained, and quality of the
‘‘finished product’ thus improved. A
large ice cream making concern,
which uses many ripe peaches for
flavoring cream, has learned to pre-
pare them by scalding and slipping
off the skins, and declares this is by
far the best, cheapest and quickest
way of preparing the fruit. For per-
sons who like their fruit well ripened
and sweet this plan will be well worth
trying.

: HIS COGNIZANT SISTER 3
“Er,” said young Pankwick, pausing
in the door after he had left the break-
fast table. He appeared confused.
“Did you say something, Algy?” in-
quired his sister with a start. .
“Oh, no!” answered young Pank-
wick, with great carelessness. He
cleared his throat and caressed the
door paneling with one hand. “That
is—say, the dance was great last
night, wasn’t it?”
“Why, yes!” agreed his sister, in
some surprise, looking up from her
letters. “Quite a pretty little affair.
Rather stupid, though, because there
weren't enough men!”
“Oh, weren't there?” echoed her
brother, a trifle blankly. “I didn’t no-
tice—lots of pretty girls there, though,
don’t you think?”
His sister laid down her letters and
stared at him. “What's the matter
with you, Algy?” she inquired smooth-
ly. “You'll rub a hole in that door if
you don’t look out!”
“Oh, I beg pardon!” her brother
said nervously. “Say, wasn’t that
Miss Dally a peach?”
His sister wrinkled her brows;
“Dally? Dally?” she repeated.
Young Pankwick came back into
the room and sat down, such was his
disgust.
you didn’t see that girl? Why, she
was a perfect stunner! Just the right
height and size and complexion that
would knock the spots off a rose; and
her eyes! Say, honest, did you ever
see anything like her eyelashes?”
“I gather,” sald his sister, “that
you were somewhat impressed with
the lady's looks, Algy! Do you mean
the gir! who came with Phil? She
had on a blue gown.” 3
“Pink,” corrected Algy promptly.

retiring! Of course, I don’t mean
that I was especially interested in her
—only I wondered if you saw her.”
“I think I. saw her,” said his sis-
ter, pouring herself more coffee. :
Young Pankwick watched her with
an irritated frown. “I think women
are cats mostly,” he growled. “One
of them wouldn't get enthusiastic
over another girl if she died for it!
Just plain downright jealous I call it!
She—"
“My goodness, Algy!” interrupted
his sister. “What do you want me to
do? Go into hysterics and burst into
rapturous tears over her beauty?
Let her be beautiful for all of me!
I've troubles enough of my own!
You're silly!”
“Well, you might—that is, say some-
thing!” grumbled her brother. “You
needn’t be so self-satisfied.”
“Well, you couldn't precisely call
yourself an old acquaintance,” re-
minded his sister sweetly.
Young Pankwick blushed. “I sup-
pose if you're going to be disagree-
able, you will,” he said loftily, arising
from his chair. “I was just mention-
ing that I had met her and then you
have io go and talk as though—"
“As though what?”
“Oh, I haven't time to waste,” young
Pankwick growled. “I've got to catch
ithat train.”
“I though you wanted to ask me
;something,” suggested his sister.
Young Pankwick shook his head
coldly. “No, thank you,” he sala curt-
‘ly. Then he paused. “If you were
like other sisters,” he muttered, “I’'d—

Belgium is now the theatre of
the most formidable shock in his-
tory, the duration of which es-
