Soup Made from Turkey Bones.â€" Put the bones in a boiler with about .two quarts of water, and boil until all the substance is out of them, and .then take them out. Add to the soup one tablespoonful of rice, one or two stalks of celery (chopped fine), chopâ€" ped onion and pepper to taste., This makes a delicious rich soup out of a part that is usually throwu away.

Save fat from soup, as when melt- ed down into dripping it is useful for basting meat or frying vegetables. Brushing makes the hair shine and borax baths make it fluffy. Do not use borax too often or it will bleach and rot the hair. ' ' When peeling lerrone for flavoring be careful never to cut any of the white skin, as it has a very' bitâ€" ter taste. Lemon rind steeped in the water in which you bathe is not. only re- freshing, but of actual benefit to the skin, as it forms a splendid tonic. Salt is an oldâ€"fashioned disinfect- ant, popular in our grandmother’s day. It has the advantage of being non-odorous. It is capital for sprinkling about drains. Few things are more soothing for burns or scalds than the white of an egg p'Oured over the injured place. It is more cooling than sweet oil and cotton. Long skirts prove more becoming than short ones to little women. This stands to reason, for anything like a trailed dress gives dignity to its woarer. Oil marks on wall paper may be reâ€" moved by applying a paste made of pipeclay and cold water. Leave on all night and brush off in the morning. A second applicationpay be necessary. ~ 2‘0 remove red ink stains, moisten the spots with strong alcohol aciduâ€" lated with nitric acid. It is always desirable to make a blank experi- ment first, as all materials will not take the same treatment. How do the persons who so fear night air that they sleep in rooms with tightly closed windows expect. to live should there be an escape of gas while they slumber? They do not give themselves one chance out of a hundred for their lives. Very few people know of the ‘ effi- cacy of starch for toilet use. This is especially useful for sore feet. First wash the toes with tepid wa- ter, but do not soak them; wipe quite dry, and then dust with starch crushed to a powder. Scrub the inside of the teapot with fine salt and then rinse it with boiling water. Tea will not be good unless the inside of the pot is kept bright and clean. After use the leaves should be taken out immedâ€" rately and the pot wiped quite dry. Two ways of removing iron mould from linenâ€"Rub the spot with a litâ€" tle powdered oxalic acid and warm water. Let this remain to soak for a few moments and then rinse in clean water. Wash the spots in a strong solution of cream of tartar and water. Repeat if necessary and dry in the sun. To clean piano keysâ€"Dissolve half an ounce of fine white wax, shredded small, with turpentine by heat, till it become of the consistency of cream. 'Apply a small quantity of this to the keys with a flannel, and polish by rubbing well with soft rags. Leave the piano open for several hours each week and the keys will not turn yellow. . Lemon juice and sugar, thickly mixed, will remove hoarseness and cure sore throats. Lemons may be kept fresh for weeks by covering them daily with fresh water. A lit- tle lemon juice in a spoon, then a dose of castor oil, and a little more lemon juice over the oil, will mask the disagreeable taste. 'A temperance ginger wine is made as follows :â€"-Pour five quarts of boil- ing water on to two pounds of loaf sugar and threeâ€"quarters of an ounce of tartaric acid. When cold, add two drachms of essence of ginger, two drachms of essence of capsicum; color with a little burnt sugar and strain through muslin and bottle. The nervous housewife, who lives in constant dread of fire may, with very little trouble, make an extinâ€" guisher that will put out a blaze if used at once. 'All she needs to do is 1'0 put three poiinds of salt in a gallon of water, and to this add one and a half pounds of sal ammoniac. This liquid should be bottled, and when the fire is discovered it should be poured on it. Out one pound of dressed tripe into square pieces and simmer very gently for two hours in one pint of milk and half a pint of water. Take out the tripe and place on a hot dish, flour, stir while it boils for a few moments, a'ddhalf a pound of onions, previousâ€" ly boiled and chopped finely. Let all cook together for a quarter of an hour, add a good seasoning of pepper and salt and serve very hot. For simple Scotch haggis take a penny worth of liver, some of suet, one small onion, oatmeal, pepper and salt. Parboil the liver for half an hour; when cold grate it down: add the suet shreded fine, also the onion; pour in a teacupful of the wa- ter in which the liver was boiled, a‘dd pepper and salt and as much oatmeal as will make it nice and firm; mix all Well together, tie in a floured cloth, plunge into boiling wa- ter and boil for an hour and a half or more. This with a dish of mash- ed potatoes, makes a nice dinner for the bairns. ______+_____ THE DANGER OF ANAEMIA. Its Victims .Are Defenceless When Disease Strikesâ€" The Blood Should Be Kept Rich and Pure. 'Anaemic peopleâ€"people with wat- ery bloodâ€"are without defense when disease threatens. The strongest weapon against. disease is a plentiful supply of rich, red blood. 'A robust person may catch cold, but quickly throws it oil. But a cold lingers with the anaemic one, goes to the chest and the first signs of consump- tion appear. It is the anaemic one who suffers from headaches and dizâ€" ziness, who cannot climb a stair without resting, whose heart flutters an‘d palpitates wildly'at the least exertion. Such people can only be saved by a new supply of rich, red blood, and Dr. Williams Pink Pills is the only medicine that actually makes rich, red blood with every dose. Ordinary medicines only touch the symptoms of diseaseâ€"Dr. Wil- liams’ Pink Pills go right straight to the root of the trouble and drive it out. That is why these pills have a larger sale than any other mediâ€" cine in the world, and that is why thousands and thousands of people praise them so highly. Miss Florence G. Marryett, Chester, N. S., says :â€" "I have used Dr. Williams’, Pink Pills for several months and I am happy to say they have restored me to health after all other means had failed. I was suffering from anaemia in its most severe form. The least exertion would leave me breathless and worn out, I had no appetite and suffered greatly with nervous head- aches. I was pale and seemed to be going into a decline. I had medical attendance but it did me no good. Then a friend advised me to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills and in a few weeks I found they were helping me. I continued their use for several months, and am again enjoying good health. I think Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills will make every weak and ailâ€" ing girl strong and healthy.” You can get these pills from any dealer in medicine but you should be careful to see that the full name “Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People” is on the Wrapper around each box. If in doubt write the Dr. Williams’ Medicine 00., Brockville, Ont., and the pills will be sent at 50c a box or six boxes for $2.50. M ARE MORAL LUNATICS. New Method Suggested for Treat- ment of Criminals. Of the two greatest criminals I ever knew, said Sir Robert Anderson, lecturing on the British criminal sysâ€" tem at the London Institute, one was the son of a clergyman, a great lin- guist, in every way a most accomâ€" plished and remarkable man. His enâ€" terprise and address alone would have made his fortune in honest pyrsuits. When Mme Patti first went to Arn- erica this man boarded the ship with the Customs officials, and persuaded Mme Patti in the best of Italian that he had been deputed to welcome her, When the "reception committee arâ€" rived he made the introductions. The man who stole the famous picâ€" ture of the Duchess of Devonshire from Agnew’s Was the other great criminal to whom Sir Robert referred. He was a familiar figure in Piccadilly and west-end drawing tooms, drove a pair and kept a steam yacht in the Mediterranean. He ,, stole £95,000 worth‘ of diamonds in South Africa, and sold them to their owners in IIatton Garden. . In the case of such'nren as these, professional criminals, men with brains, who practised crime because it paid, Sir Robert urged that our system of punishment was stupid and futile. To sentence a professional criminal to a term of penal servitude had the effect not of reforming or deterring him, but of making him "more careful next time.” At the present moment, whilst “ordinary” or “accidental” crime is on the deâ€" crease, "profcssional" crime is on the increase. Sir Robert's proposal is that the man who sets himself to live by crime should be treated as a moral lunatic. He Should be liable to a separate charge of being a profesâ€" sional criminal, and if the charge were made out shoqu be sentenced to be detained during his Majesty’s pleaâ€" sure. Aftcr serving a term of im- prisonment, he should be removed to a criminal lunatic aslem, and there made to work for his living. The Whit‘ech'apel murderer, known as “Jack the Ripper,” was, said Sir Robert, undoubtedly insane, and was ultimately confined within an asylum. _____+_.._ Strawberries come and strawber- vies go, but prunes go on forever. / MAKING UONVEBTS by LEAFS AND BOUNDS’ Ceylon Natural Green tea. by its absolute purity and delicious fla- vor is displacing Japan tea just as “SALADA” black is displac- ing all other black teas.
