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,

seems to leave Ihem when other
dangers render them helpless. When

to seek the highest paint and with

How to Treat Bruises.
In the treatment of contusions
where there Is extensive discoloration
of the skin if olive oil be freely ap
plied without rubbing the discolora
tion will quickly disappear. Absorb
ent cotton may be soaked In the oil
and applied. If the skin Is broken a
little boric acid Phould be applied over
the abrasion. A black eye thus treat
ed can be rendered normal In a few
hours, especially if the oil be applied
warm.

Virtus In Copper.
"Copper is a marvelous preventltlvo
of disease. 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.

Decline of the Drinking Habit.
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. Whether this is an ef

or a logical result of experience, or the
spread of habits of industry and thrift
or of all these influences. Is not ap

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. Of course tho gasoline can

if the amount needed Is carried to

point add three lilliW-snnnnfnls nf orns-
olene and put tho clothe3 In dry. Af
ter they have boiled 20 minutes they
are ready to be rubbed slirrhtlv. blued
and starched. The Housekeeper.
Boiling Vegetables.
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.
