Let it stand for an hour or longer before using. Around individual short- cakes of rich biscuit dough, 1mâ€" sweetened, range circular pieces of thinly sliced oranges, taking care to remove every shred from the outside and center of the oranges. Over all pour the pineapple mix- ture. The flavor of the pineapple is much improved and enriched by he addition of lemon and sugar to taste.

' These Pills are sold by all medi- cine dealers or may be had by mail at 50 cgnts a. box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams’ Me- dicin‘a Co.â€". Brogkglille, Out. An illness caused by lack of blcod will be benefited and cured by a course of treatment with Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. These Pills increase the red matter in the blood and enable it to carry to every organ and tissue an increas- ed supply of oxygen, the great sup- porter of all organic life. This has been proved by cures in thousands of cases not only in Canada but in all parts of the world. More peo- ple to-day owe health and happiâ€" ness to Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills than to any other medicine. One of these is Mr. James Starr, of Galav had, Alta, who says: “A few years ago I became ill and very weak. Some days I would have a hot dry fever and on others would be bathed in a cold sweat. I grew weaker and weaker until I could do no kind of work and was final- ly confined to my bed. I tried sevâ€" eral doctors, who cost me consid- erable money, but did me no good, as I was still getting weaker and weaker. I asked the last doctor who attended me to tell me frank- ly if he could cure me, and he told me my case was so complicated that he did not think he could help me. I told him I had heard a great deal abcut Dr. Williams’ Pin Pills and asked if he thought they would help me. His reply was: “\Vell, they wui’t do you any harm and they may help you.’ I sent for a half dozen boxes at once and began takâ€" ing them. After taking three boxes there was no doubt they were help- ing me. and I continued using them for some time longer. With the result that I am now as strong and hearty and can do as good a day’s work as any man in my neighbor- hood.” ~ Green Peppers.â€"-Cut tops from six green pppers, scrape out the insides, and let stand in cold water one-half hour, then wipe dry and fill with the following mixture: One cup of cold boiled rice, one-half cup oi grated cheese, one-half cup of chopped nuts, one-fourth teaspoon- ful salt, a dash of cayenne pepper. Bake in a moderate oven thirty minutes. Serve with boiled lamb chops, garnished with diced cold beets. Fruit Filling.-â€"Stir one tableâ€" spoonful of flour, one-third cup of butter, a scant cup of sugar into the beaten yolks of four eggs. Set this in a pan of hot water, heat thoroughly, but do not boil, then add one small can of grated pineâ€" apple, five cents’ worth of shred- ded cocoanut. Put this in stove and cook until thick. Set off and let get cold before spreading on the layers of the cake. This is a. most delicious filling. Banana Saladâ€"Pare the bana- nas, cut into halves, and dip each half into a rich mayonnaise dressâ€" ing. While the fruit is S'till moist with the dressing lay it into a dish of finely chopped nut meat and lay each banana on a clean lettuce leaf, adding a border of nut meats 0r salted almonds. Baked Bananas.â€"Peel six banaâ€" nas and place in an agate baking pan. Mix oneâ€"third of {L cupful of sugar with two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice and two tablespoonfuls OF melted butter. Pour this over the bananas and bake twenty min- utes in a slow oven, take out, turn out into a dish and set away to cool. Serve with whipped cream.

She bent her slender form back to escape the sizzling, sputtering heat, while with her long fork she rescued the crisp brown circles from the bubbling fat, and deposit- ed them in a large yellow dish. Dan, up from the field, stopped a moment to look at the picture before he said : Nothing would have hurt Mother Wilde’s warm heart more than to know that. she, with her two hunâ€" dred pounds of flesh and her brimâ€" ming store of kindly intentions, was the skeleton in the closet of her daughter-inâ€"law’s domestic happi- ness. She had seen little of her son's wife. The wooing and win- ning had taken place in a distant town, and there they had boarded until Dan had bought a small farm a few miles from his old home. It chanced, from one cause and an- other, that Mrs. Wilde had not yet been in the new house. “Matty wouldn’t take no for an answer. She drove over in all the heat. Why, hain’t the baby grown 1 He’s the moral of you, son, only he’s got his mother’s eyes." you Igâ€"‘fi‘iigtghéfrl” cried Dan that night, springing up the steps in surprise. “Well, this is Vallrrighfil” a little gurgling sound held her at- tention, and the color died away. It was a soft little sound at first, but it grew in volume until, 105' lug all dove notes, it burst into an undeniable roar. Martha, hurried out‘ returning with her small son hold in her proud arms, fhle baby tears already changed into smiles. Dan bolted the last crumb and held out his arms. “Come here, buster! Hells! Going to punch yovr daddy?” “Not with baby.” “He’s only leItr two, if they weren’t like his mother’s,” she said to herself, as she cleared off the table. "I wish I didn’t mind. Good old Dan I” Suddenly an ide¢ struck her. “I’ll give him a treat, though he’ll be worse than ever. It’s only a fourâ€"mile. drive. Baby want to take a ride with mammy?” “It’s a scorcher out,” he con- tinued, perching on the white- scoured table and helping himself liberally from the heaping pan. “These 'are right nice, Matty. Most as good as mother’s. You’ll catch un if you keep on trying.” A deeper flush than that born of the cock-stove and the hot «day mounted to Martha’s cheeks. Then “Isn’t. he a darling? Did mamâ€" niy’s baby have a nice nap on the cool porch?” “You didn’t l-et him sleep outâ€" doors?” said Dan. “Yes.” “That’s right. She made the best I ever ate. I’m going over to Holdâ€" tun to-day, Matty. You won’t be lonesome if 1 leave you alone, shall “Well, Matty good. “There’s sure to be drafts. Mo- ther never let us breathe outdoor :111' when we were asleep.” It was on the tip of Martha’s tongue to say, “That’s Why you take cold so easily,” but she held her peace. She stood at the winâ€" dow, hugging baby, as her husband walked down the pasture slope. Then She- Wenb to her room, put baby on the bed, and gave him a. durningâ€"egg to play with. "I suppose she’d face him north and give him a rubber ring,” she thought. “0 baby, dear, I wish I could do something right!” “Soda biscuit!" said Dan, the next morning, as he sat down to the breakfastâ€"table. “Mother’s reâ€" cipe?” “It’s the best place for him this weather.” on , doughnuts? That’s A few days later Mrs. \Vilde drove off in the afternoon stage. AS the vehicle creaked its asthmatic way along the dusty road, the good woman’s face took on a half»amused halfâ€"pathetic expression. “So that’s the way the wind blows! Dan’s a regular old maid. I guess I didn't spank him enough when he was little, but he was always so good. ‘My ways,’ in- deed! Poor Matty! I gue‘ss that is Martha stayed in bed a week, growing rested and strong under tender ministrations. “I «don’t know as I’ve done any good,” she mused. “I, know I haven’t done harm, and that’s sayâ€" ing something, for it lay to my‘hand “You‘make Dan so comfortable he won’t mlSS me.” she said, \v1stâ€" fully, one day. “He won’t miss me a mite,” thcught Martha, and she choked. Then the choke turned into a smile as she remembered the cornâ€"cake. “Does Matty set her bread over- night?” inquired Mrs. Wilde that night of her son. tint Dan’s mas- culine memory was not equal to the occasion. This was all the, comment she made aloud, but when he left the room she continued the conversa- tion with herself: my chance to work for {veal or woe.

She wasn’t used to the oven; it wasn’t a fair sam- ple.” “You’ve got as nice 3 little wife as ever was,” said Mrs. Wilde, as her son sat down-beside her. “That’s so l” responded Dan, heartily. “You’ll be a lot of comâ€" pany for her, and you can teach her your ways.” “Hasn’t she got ways of her own ’2” returned his mother. V The next day Martha fell sick. "A bit run down,” said the doctor. “Put her to bed for three or four days, and keep that staver out of her way,” pointing to Master Baby. “It’s a real stroke of luck that mother’s here,” said Dan. “You can just take it easy and get well. Mcrther’ll look after me.” “Order!” exclaimed Mrs. \Vilde. “There isn’t a house in better order far nor near!” “I guess there. ain't much lackâ€" ing,” responded Dan. “But she does lots of things different from what you brought me. up to. I tell her she ain’t got your ways.” “You tell her that?" “Why yes, but she’s a, bit touchy about it sometimes.” “Why, of course not, Matty, if you don’t want me to. But you’ll never learn if you’re proud.” “You do just as you always do, mother, and we shall get along all right. It; will be a good chance to get things into shipshape order.” After supper Dan lingered'in the kitchen. “I’m glad you brought mother over,” he said to Martha. “You can learn, a‘ lot of things. Just ask her about corn-cake to- mOrrow. That was a, bit soggy to- night.” “Dan \Vilde! You are a. gump if you are my son!” “He couldn’t; have prettier ones,” asserted Dan. The smile that played about Marâ€" tha’s lips spoke more of amusement than annoyance. Then she said: “Don’t say anything about it to her, Dan. Please!” “I wonder what he’d7 say if he knew that she made that corn- It. is a common mistake far a man to think himself a lady-killer. Stuffed Beets.â€"One can French peas. six medium sized beets.
