r HREE EPOCHS IN The A WOMAN'S LIFE OF I I MRS. ELVA BARBER EDWARDS There nre three critical stages in a Oman's life which leave their mark n her career. The first of these stages ;'is womanhood, or the change from a care free girl to building womanhood, The second is motherhood, and the third ist'hango of Life. Perils surround each of these stages, and most of the misery that comes to women through ill health dates from one or another of these iin nortant crises. Women should remember that Lydia I E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I made from native roots and herbs has I carried thousands of young girls over f the critical period of puberty, has prepared mothers for childbirth, and in later years carried them safely through the change of lifo more suc cessfully than any other remedy in the world. Thousands of testimonials lrom grateful persons, two of which are here published, substantiate this fact beyond contradiction, Mrs. George Walters of Woodlawn, 111. writes ! Dear Mm. Pinkham : "I feel it my duty to toll you of the good Lydia E. Pinkham's Veetahle Compound ban done me in preparing for childbirth. Aftor sulfering and losing my children a friend advised me to try your valunbio me dicine, and the result wat that I had very little inconvenience, a quick recovery and During its long record of more actual cures, entitles Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to the respect and confidouce of every fair minded person. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Makes Sick Women Wei!. Wild Animal3 Tamed by Fear.

If we returned to the old copper drinking vessels of our fore fathers, typhoid epidemics would dis appear." The speaker, a filtration expert, took a copper cent from his pocket. "Examine this cent under the mi croscope," he said, "and you will find It altogether free from disease germs. Examine gold and silver coins, and you will find them one wriggling and contorting mass. Yet copper coins pass through dirtier hands than gold and silver ones. You'd think they ought to be alive with micro-organisms. Hut, no. Copper kills germs. Diphtheria and cholera cultures smeared on a copper cent die in less than two hours. "They have many cholera epidemics in China, but certain towns are al ways immune. These towns keep their drinking water in great copper vessels. Travelers have tried to buy these vessels, for they are beautiful but the villagers will not sell them. They have a superstltutlon that their health and welfare depend on their retention. I wish all superstitions were as true and salutary as that. Philadelphia Bulletin.

Almost nothing else atTords so strik ing an evidence of the moral improve ment of the American people as the decline of drunkenness and of drink ing. How great has been this decline only persons of advanced years can fully realize.

Washing With Gasolene, If gasolene is used Instead of kero sene In boiling clothes, there will nev- er be a greasy scum on the water, as is sometimes the case with kerosene, and there is no odor left on the clothes.

A housekeeper gives these hints for boiling vegetables: At this time of year let them He in cold water for an hour or so before cooking, then put them Into boiling salted water. Parsnips will boll tend er In from 20 to 30 minutes, Bplnuch in 20 minutes; turnips need from 45 minutes to an hour. Do not break the skin of beets before they are cooked or they will loso their red juice. Boll them an hour or two, until thqy are thoroughly tender. Then plunge them into cold water and slip off their skins. Many persons like onions and cabbage better if they are boiled in two or three waters. This takes away some of their rank flavor. Laundry Suggestions. Home washing on such matters as collars and shirts is, of course, usually out of the question; but If small quan titles of the formulae we are about to give be prepared and presented to the queen of the washtub, she will first temporize, then try, and ultimately pray you to teach her how it is done, and this is the modus operandi: Make an ounce of etarch into a thick, smooth paste. Add to this a pint of boiling water, in which has been dls- solved a tablespoonful of white sugar and a tablespoonful of salt. Drop In to this mass three drnchms of par- aftlne wax and boll the whole for half an hour, stirring weU to prevent burn ing. This must be strained and used while hot Blue may be added If de sired. Another excellent preparation, and of a simple nature, is made by taking one ounce of powdered gum arabic (procurable from any chemist), mix It with a pint of water and let It stand' for twelve hours, then decant it, carefully straining it free of dregs, and use It as required. A teaspoon- ful of the solution in a pint of starch made in the usual way, will give a very excellent gloss to shirt fronts and collars. The Cultlvat&r. Back to the Old Copper Kettle, An English scientist attributes the wiue pievuience or appenuicitis to tne use of enameled cooking utensils. He points out that when the old-fashioned cooking utenslla were in vogue ap pendicitis was practlcaly unknown, "The present age uses increasingly enamel ware, which splinters on the least provocation. , "I find that not only a food such as porridge will carry tho needle-like splinters to the body, but that a soup, and even tea, may very well contain sharply splintered particles of this most dangerous glass." Many physicians and surgeons have advanced the theory known as the mechanical theory, that the cause of appendicitis may be the Introduction through the food of some sharp, irri tating substance, causing Inflamma tion and ulceration. , They designate tooth brush bristles, wheat grit, particles of antlmonal rub ber stoppers, as common irritants. None of these are of such Irritating quality as spicules of enamel, which might be swallowed with the sauces or vegetables cooked In the enameled ware vessels. Accordingly among medical men and some housekeepers there Is a crusade having for Its object the return to the old copper or Iron kettle. Recipes. Celery Toast. Cut the rrisn from the heart of a stalk of celery Into por tions of about two inches long, shred very fine, and lay In ice-cold water for two hours. Butter squares of toast, cover with the shredded celery, and pour over it whlDned cream nea- soned with salt and a little cayenne. Garnish with pareley. Roast Goose. A eoose should ho roasted longer and basted oftener other poultry. Twenty-five minutes to the pound is none too long. For the stuffing mix bread crumbs and pul verized chestnuts, seasoned with salt and pepper. A green goose is one under four months old. and thosn are decidedly preferable to tho older rowls. Gooseberry sauce is an appro priate accompaniment ADule sauce Is also orthodox. Orange Fritters. Divide some or anges, leaving throe or four sections together, sprinkle them with powder ed sugar, and leave them for about half an hour before they nre required. Then dip the pieces Into a thick battel and fry them in a bath of boiling fat Place the fritters on paper In front of a brisk fire, as they are taken from the pan, and when all are ready pile them up on a hot dish covered with a doily and scatter a little white sugai over them. this competitive age and when of ample character it places its fortunate possessor in the front tanks of The Well Informed of the World.
