PECULIAR AFTER EFFECTS
OF GRIP THIS YEAR,
I
\
Loaves Kidneys In Weakened Condition
Doctors In nil pnrts of the country
bavo been kept busy with tho epldemio
of grip which has visited bo many
homes. Tho symptoms of grip this year
are very distressing and leave the sys-
tem In a run down condition, particu-
larly tho kidneys which seem to Buffer
most, as every victim complains of
lamo back and urinary troubles which
should not bo neglected, us these dan-
ger signals often lend to more sorioua
sickness, such as dreaded Bright's Dis-
ease. Local druggists report a lnrgo
■alo on Dr. Kilmer's Sw&mp-Root which
•o many peoplo say soon heals and
strengthens tho kidneys after an at-
tack of grip. Swamp-Hoot is a great
kidney, liver and bladder remedy, and,
being on herbal compound, has a gen-
tle healing cITect on tho kidneys, which
la almost Immediately noticed by those
•who try It. Dr. Kilmer At Co., Blng-
hamton, N. Y., offer to Bend a b,ample
bottle of Swamp-Hoot, free by mall, to
«very sufferer who requests It. A trial
•will convince any one who may be In
need of It. Regular size bottles BO cts.
and $1.00. For salo Ht all druggists,
sure to mention this paper.
THOUGHTS OF FOODl
Dreamy Dupont—Dey say dat a man
down east has invented a machine fer
photygraffln' what a feller thinks.
Windy Rivers—Well, if dat guy
could only photygraf what's on me
mind at dls minute he'd git an epicu-
rean masterpiece dat would make yer
•it up and take notice.
DISFIGURED WITH ECZEMA
"Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
svlth eczema when but a few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
•ores even to back of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, bis lit-
tle face was disfigured very much.
We hardly knew what he looked like.
The face looked like raw meat. We
tied little bags of cloth over his
bands to prevent him from scratching.
He was very restless at night, his
little face Itched.
"We consulted two doctors at Chi-
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying ail tho medicine of the
two doctors without any result, wo
read of the Cutlcura Remedies, and at
once bought the Cutlcura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the re-
sult, and after four weeks the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Kvery one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cutlcura
Remedies was surprised. He has a
head of hair which is a pride for any
boy of his age, three years. We can
only recommend the Cutlcura Reme-
dies to everybody." (Signed) Mrs. H.
Albrecbt, Box 883, West Point, Neb.,
Oct. 26, 1910.

8hillalah Still Useful.
The shlllalah, which showed at
Louth that It ha3 not entirely lost its
old Importance as a factor in deciding
elections, Is no raw limb of a treo. It
Is almost aa much a work of art as
a well balanced cricket bat. The old
•blllalaha were as carefully looked
after by their loving owners aa la a
rifle In tho wilds. Cut from tho stur-
diest of young blackthorns, and show-
ing as little taper us an ebony ruler,
H was weighted with lead or iron at
the end nearest the grip, so that Its
center of gravity was about four-
flfths of the way from the hitting end.
When properly seasoned by being
kept in the neighborhood of the farm
oven for a few months, It became a
thing of supple steel. And the proper
pronunciation of the name of this
fearsome weapon is tho melodious ono
of "shlll-ally," with tho accent on the
"all."—London Chronicle.
It Depends on the Liver.
"Is life worth living?—that depends
upon tho liver." Yes. and that again
depends upon what you eat, and how
you eat.
Henry Ward lleecher once said: "A
man with a bad liver cannot be a
food Christian." Henry made soms
mistakes, but in this statement ho
was eminently correct. It is only an-
other version of a phrase frequently
used by the editor of the Care of the
Body: "As a man eateth so is he."—

HOW TO CARE FOR THE FEET I
BOTH HAD KNOWN HAPPINESS
Nothing So Good as Alcohol Rub After
Pedal Extremities Have Been
Chilled.
No other part of tho body except tho
walBt suffers so much abuse and distor-
tion as tho feet. They aro susceptible
to all sorts of deformities and tho sub-
ject of all sorts of neglect.
Many peoplo do not bathe them suf-
ficiently often, do not change their
stockings with sufficient frequency and
do not care for them In other ways as
they should.
Tho soldier who cares for his feet Is
tho one who holds out on tho march,
and many foreign nrmles have doctors
who see that tho men caro for their
feet. Tho dead skin which hardens und
produces callous spots needs to bo re-
moved twice a day if the feet perspire
freely.
To rub the feet with alcohol refresh-
es them wonderfully, and nothing is as
good for them as a vigorous alco-
hol rub after they havo been wet or
chilled.
A rub with cocoa butter Is a flno
thing for the feet at ail times. Get a
cake of this and give them a flve-
mlnute rub at least once a week aftor
tho daily bath and you will save your-
self many a groan.
We should wear rubbers whenever
wo need them and tako them off as
soon as we can. Tho feot must be
kept warm and dry.
A famous physician Is reported as
saying that his Income would dwindle
to a half If women kept their feet
warm. And It may be added that a
woman's chance of being a comfortablo
soul and u Jolly person to have around
would be Improved by three halves If
she would wear the right kind of
shoes, care for them and her feot prop-
erly and try to have everybody else
do the same.—New York Mall.
Almond Tarts.
For tarts make shells of rich pufT
paste or got pattleB. Filling for ono
dozen tarts: Put three tablespoonfuls
of almond paste In a double boiler with
a little milk to dissolve; add half a
pint of rich milk and lumps of butter.
When It boils add the beaten yolks of
two eggs mixed with three table-
spoonfuls of sugar and two of flour;
let boll till thick; when cool, add fif-
teen cents' worth of ground almonds
and a few drops of almond extract;

ful of milk and two cupfuls of flour

fuls of baking powder; then add three-
fourths of a cupful of raisins seeded
and cut in pieces; one-fourth of a
oupful of citron thinly sliced; fruit to
be dredged with one fourth of a cup-
ful of flour. Turn into a buttered
melon mold, tie down cover and steam
one and one-half hours. Mold should
not bo more than two-thirds full.
Fudge Frosting.

fer, one-half cup unsweetened cocoa,
one-fourth cup confectionery sugar, a
few grains of salt, one-fourth cup of
milk, one-half teaspoon vanilla. Add
cocoa, sugar, salt and milk, heat to
boiling point; let boll for eight min-
utes; remove from fire and beat until
creamy; add vanilla and pour over

Apple 8nowballa.
Boll a large cupful of rice In milk
nntil three-quarters done, then strain
It off. Pare and core as many apples
as needed, put a clove and a little
sugar Into each apple and pour some
rice around It. Tie each ball In a
separate cloth and boll in fair water
until the apples are tender. Turn
onto plates and serve with good
brandy sauce.
Potato a la Lyonnals*.
Cut parboiled potatoes Into dice.
Chop an onion and fry it with a little
mlncod parsley In good drippings or
butter for one minute. Then put In
the potatoes. Stir hsiskly until they
have fried slowly for five minutes.
They must never stick to the bottom
nor brown. Sprinkle with pepper and
salt, drain free of fat by shaking
them In a heated colander and serve

Care of Water Bottle.
When the water bottle becomes
fined with a sediment from the water
on easy way to remove It is by put-
ting a teaspoon of hydrochloric acid,
with a little water, in the bottle. The
sediment will entirely disappear In a
few moments, leaving the glasB clear
and clean.
Potato Patties.
Wash hot boiled potatoes, season
with butter, salt and pepper, add one
egg to moisten. If not moist enough
add a little milk. Beat all together

But the Circumstances Were Not Ej
actly Alike. That Was All
the Difference.
They were riding Into town In a
subway train, these two married men,
says tho New York Times. One
seemed occupied with his own
thoughts, tho other was engrossed In
his copy of the Evening Piffle, from
which he eventually glanced with a
cuperlor smile. "1 always read what
Betsy Bumstuff has to any in her 'Twi-
light Twaddle' column," he said. "She
generally hits us off pretty well, but
she Isn't always right. Now, this eve-
ning, she gets on the subject of elopo«
ments. She says elopementa never
turn out happily. I don't agree with
her." "Neither do I." said tho man
who had been occupied with lila own
thoughts. "I am glad to hear you say
It," exclaimed the Evening I'lfileite.
"I eloped with my wife, and I've been
happy ever since." "So have I ever
since some fellow eloped with mine,"
remarked the other. "Betsy Bumstuff
is away oft!"
The Progress of Music.
A German baker In West Philadel-
phia has a young hopeful who Is be-
ginning In youth the Btudy of the vlo
lln. He takes weekly IcBsons and tho
parents are sanguine of his becoming
n great musician.
A friend Btrolled Into the bakeshop
the other day and Inquired of the
genial German what progress the boy
was making.
"He pretty good gets along." came
the baker's assuring answer, with an
elevation of the chin and a swelling
chest. "He play 'Home, Sweet Home'
with such sweetness that makes you
wish for the Faderland. And, by
golly, you ought to hear him play
•hat 'Nearer, My God, to You.' "
Doubts.
Tho Stranger—Aro you qulto sure
I hat that was a marriage license you
gave me last month?
Tho Official—Of course! What's
