Liniments, Oils, and. Everything Failed to Relieve His Sufferings. â€"He Used Dodd’s Kidney Pills, And They Cured Him. , Boissevain, Man, Jan. 27.â€"-(Speâ€" cial)â€"Five years ago, Mr. C. S. Hol- den, of this place, then quite a young man and a farmer's son, became al- most. a cripple with Rheumatism. His own account of his experience is Very interesting. He says : “For about a year and a half I had a dull pain in my right shoul- fler. It grew much worse in cold Weather, and in winter was so bad that I could scarcely use my arm at all. When I went. to bed I would have to take my left hand and hold my right shoulder to turn over. The pain was nearly unbearable. Words :annot express it. I often said if I had to endure such pain all my life I Would rather have no arm. . “1 was almost a cripple and could not help complaining very bitterly. Everybody had something to tell me to do. One said, 'Rub on Spirits of Turpentine.’ I did so, but only grew worse. Besides this I tried every other liniment and oil I could hear of or get, but all to no purâ€" ose. Nothing seemed to give me he slightest relief. I was growing very downhearted as it. looked as if I was never going to find anything to cure my dreadful pain. "Now it. happened that we had some of Dodd’s Kidney Pills in the houseâ€"we always keep themâ€"and having tried everything else, my lather suggested that I take some. I commenced, and when I had taken ‘three doses I felt some better, and I kept on till in a few days the pain was all gone. “This is five years ago, and I have not had the slightest pain or ache since.” trim the brown off the sides, and slice it in four layers. Grate 2 coâ€" coanuts and put, in the icing. Spread each layer, the top and sides, with plenty of icing. When cut, it. will be perfectly white all through and a {very handsome cake.

For this, take what beans you may have on hand, measure and pour into stewpan. Add four times their amount in water. Season to suit the taste. Then when the stock is boilâ€" ing briskly, stir in a thickening made from one heaping tablespoonful browned flour to each pint of stock, stirred up in a little cold water. Cook for a few moments and serve as hot as can be eaten. the - mine the choice of the dress and mil- linery.

Eat when you are hungry. 2. Drink when you are thirsty. 3. Eat enough, and then stop. ‘I‘hin Soupâ€"This is made by crushâ€" ng all the beans with a potato mash- er, straining them, measuring and adding twice or three times the amount of water. If those who are to partake of it do not use vinegar with their beans, milk may be used and make. the soup better. Thickeu with a small amount of flour and serve with crackers. Bean Tartsâ€"Fill shells of biscuit dough with the beans and a small amount of their liquor. Cook in a brisk oven until the,shell is well done, by which time the beans should be well browned on top. If not, put th in on the grate for a few moâ€" _ nts. Serve while hot. Bean Cakesâ€"For bean cakes for breakfast, take a teacup full of boil- ed beans, drain the liquor from them and mash line. Strain and add to the pulpy mass three tablespoonfuls buttermilk, oneâ€"half teasp on milk, same amount of salt, and‘pstir well. Add to this two heaping teaspoonâ€" fuls wheat or graham flour, and beat up well. Drop in spoonfuls on a hot greased griddle, and fry on both sides to a delicate brown. Serve'hot with salt, butter and pepper. CARE OF THE HATR. A wellâ€"known hair specialist, who stands at the head of his profession, has been giving some much-needed advice to his patrons. “Treat your hair as you would a plant,” he says, “carefully, tenderly, judiciously. If the plant seems hardy so much the better, and so much better is your chance for keeping it. Hair tendenâ€" cies are 'inherited, and one should profit by the examination of her an- cestors. For instance if your father grew bald and gray in his early thirties and your mother’s hair was brittle and harsh at 40 your efforts to keep your own hair in good conâ€" dition must be redoubled. "A certain hair specialist once said that if a woman did not care for her hair before 20 she would have no hair to care for at 4:0. And there never was a truer saying. From childhood it has bcen constantly dinned into our ears that the hair, to be kept in a healthy condition, should be brushed with a still hair brush for 10 minutes night and morning. This is a most absurd falâ€" lacy. It is impossible to lay down ,rules of that description for womanâ€" kind in general. How often and how long hair should be brushed depends altogether on the individual head of hair. You would not think of dig- ging mercilessly into the roots of a tender plant, and if your hair is fine, thin and silky too vigorous treatâ€" ment with the brush will produce bald spots in short order. On the other hand, a hardy head of hair is made much better for much brushâ€" ing.” Minard’s Llnlmenl or Rheumatism TREATMENT OF PINE FLOORS ’Hard-pine floors should be first filled with white shellacâ€"in propor~ tions of two gallons of shellac diâ€" luted with one gallon of wood alcoholâ€"and after two coats of shellac there should be one or two of fine heavy varnish. Sweeping with a long handled hair broom is light, quick work, and if a floor used daily be wiped up with a dam‘p cloth once a week it will be clean indeed. If such a floor is rubbed twice a year with parafline oil it will lengthen the time for redressing. Chestnut stairs should be treated the same, but chestnut is a more porus wood, and it will require more of shellac filling. Kitchen, bathroom and laundry floors are best oiled about once a month. Boiled linseed oil and turpentine, mixed half and half, make an excellent oil for this purpose. Softâ€"pine floors should be painted, but hardâ€"pine wood never, as the paint will' peel off.

Eat what your appetite calls for. . l 5. Train your appetite and stomâ€" ‘ach by eating the greatest possible variety. You are not a shirk ; why should you lot'your stomach beconie one ? Many foods are not liked the first time they are tasted, such as ‘oysters ; hence, unless you try a thing several times, you do not know ‘whether you like it or not. Hence, ‘never say you dislike a thing till you have eaten it three times. _â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"§.â€"_â€"â€" EMPIRE STATE EXPRESSâ€"FAM-- -0US FAST TRAIN.
