SISTERS 01 CHARITY ** "*2 RELY ON PE-RU-HA TO'FIGHT CATARRH, COUGHS* COLDS AND GRIP. ^ v' m 6I8TER BEATRIX. UlllUllUlltlUUii A letter recently received by Dr. Hartman from Sister Beatrix, 410 W. 30th street. New York, reads as follows; f Dr. S. B. Hartman, Columbus, Oblo: r Dear Sir:--" i cannot say too much la praise of Peruna. Eight bottles j I ot it cured me of catarrh of the lungs of four years standing, and / would 3 t not have been without It for anything. It helped several Sisters of Cougha 3 E and colda and / have yet to find one case of catarrh that it does not cure." * | SISTER BEATRIX. J lllilllllkikiiLk» kAA Interesting Letters from Catholic Institutions. THE SISTERS GOOD WORK* In every country of the civilized world the Sisters of Charity are known. Not only do they minister to the spiritual and intellectual needs of the charges com­ mitted to their care, but they also minister to their bodly needs. With so many children to take care of and to protect from climate and disease, these wise and prudent sisters have found Peruna a never-failing safeguard. Dr. Hartman receives many letters from Catholic Sisters from all over the United States. A recommend recently received from a Catholic ins titution in Detroit, Mich., reads as follows: Dr. S. B. Hartman, Columbus, Oblo: Dear Sir:--"The young girt who used the Peruna was suffering from laryngi• tis, and loss of voice. The result of the treatment was most satisfactory. She found great relief, and after farther use of the medicine we hope to be able to say she Is entirely cured."--Sisters oi Charity. This young girl was under the care of the Sisters of Charity and used Peruna for catarrh of the throat, with good results as the above letter testifies. From a Catholic institution In Cen• tral Ohio comes the following recom­ mend from the Slater Superior. If you do not derive prompt and satis­ factory results from the use of Peruna, write at onco to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis. Address Dr. Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, Ohio. I III Bromo-Seltzer Promptly cures all Headaches Constipation Makes Bad Blood. HULL'S GRAPE TOIIG GORES C0HSTIP1TI0R Constipation is the rotting and docayiiip of undigested food In the alimentary canal. Disease germs arise from this fester­ ing mass, which find their way into the blood. The blood becomes impure and shortly the entire system gives way to the unhealthy condition. You cannot cure a case like this by taking pills or other common cathartics. A laxative will not do. A blood medi­ cine is ineffective. Mull's Grape Tonic is a gentle and mild laxative in addition to being a blood-making and strength- giving tonic which immediately builds up the wasted body and makes rich, red blood that carries its health-giving strength to every tissue at every heart beat Mull's Grape Tonlo Is made of pure crushed fruit juices and is sold under a positive guarantee.

We're going to show the steps to take, So she may learn good bread to make. aIRST , mix a lukewarm quart, my daughter, One-half of milk and one- half of water; To this please add two cakes of yeast, Or the liquid kind if pre- ferred in the least. NEXT stir in a teaspoon- fu l o f n i ce c l ea r s a l t , If this bread isn't good, it won't be our fault. Now add the sugar, table- spoonfuls three; Mix well together, for dis­ solved they must be. POUR the who le mix tu re into an earthen bowl, A pan's just as good, if it hasn't a hole. It s the cook and the flour, not the bowl or the pan, That--"Makes the bread that makes the man." Now let the mixture stand a minute or two. You've other things of great importance to do. First sift the flour--use the finest in the land. Three quarts is the measure, "GOLD MEDAL" the brand. S6. OME people like a little shortening power, If this is your choice, just add to the flour Two tablespoonfuls of lard, and jumble it about, Till the flour and lard are mixed without doubt. NEXT stir the flour into the mixture that's stood > Waiting to play its part, to make the bread good. Mix it up thoroughly, but not too thick; Some flours make bread that's more like a brick. Now grease well a bowl and put the dough in, Don't fill the bowl full, that would be a sin; For the dough is all right and it's going to rise, Till you will declare that it's twice the old size. f9r A 7 RUSH melted 9. the dough with butter, as the recipes say; Cover with a bread towel,set in a warm place to stay Two hours or more, to rise T itil light, When you see it grow, you'll know it's all right. ^1 n KNEAD IT WELL!

Now back in the bowl once more it must go, And set again to rise for an hour or so. Fn. ORM the dough gen t ly into loaves when light, And place it in bread pans greased just right. Shape each loaf you make to ha l f f i l l t he pan , This bread will be good enough for any young man. NEXT let it rise to the level of pans--no more, Have the temperature right-- don't set near a door. We must be careful about draughts; it isn't made to freeze, Keep the room good and warm--say 72degrees. Now put in the ove^--ifs ready to bake,-- Keep uniform fire, great results are at stake. One hour more of waiting and you'll be repaid, By bread that is worthy "A Well Bred Maid." Here is the Same Thii\£ in Proae. GOLD MEDAL FLOUR. BREAD RECIPE. To OM quart of lukewarm wetting--half water and at water alone--add two half-ounce compressed yeast cakes, or nanal quantity of liquid yeast, and stir until dissolved. Add one teaspoonful of Bait and three tablespoonfuls of angar and when well dissolved, stir in with wooden spoon, three quarts oi Veil sifted flour, or until dough is sufficiently stiff to be tamed irom the mixing bowl to the moulding board in a mass. If shortening is desired add two tablespoonfuls lard. Knead this dough, adding if necessary from time to time, flour until It becomes smooth and elastic and ceases to stick to lingers or board. Do not make dough too stiff. Spring Wheat Flour needs a little more working than Winter Wheat Flour, and should be a little softer to make it rise properly. Put dough into well greased earthen bowl, brush lightly with melted butter or drippings, cover with towel and set in warm place, about 75 degrees, for two hours, or until light, then knead well and return to bowl, cover as before and set for another hour's rising or until light. When light, form gently into loaves or rolls, place in greased bread pans, brush with butter or drippings, coyer again and let stand tor one and one-half hours, then bake. •rREAD IT AGAIN -ma WASHBURN-CROSBYS GOLD MEDAL FLOUR Makes the Finest Bread and is Best For Biscuits Also. •fe: P- v>.. f v - C " t" Ma mailto:1.75@5.50 mailto:2.20@6.50 mailto:5.50@8.75 mailto:2@7.05 mailto:5.75@6.90 mailto:6.50@6.95 mailto:2.50@6.25 mailto:3.20@6.25 mailto:2@6.50 mailto:1.75@6.10
