How to Fold a Shirt;
Few things put a man in a temper more
than a badly folded shirt, no matter how
well it is laundered. There is a certain
art in the method of “folding” that if
carefully followed insures stiff cuffs and
an unruffled front. Spread the shirt on
a table or bed, fold over the two sides
lengthways, so that they lie one over the
other upon ihe bosom. Turn the sleeves
back half way from the shoulders, doub¬
ling the sleeve lie gussets ill half and allow¬
ing them to straight down on the
folded body. Theu take the whole and
give it a cross fold upward, so that the
lower part of the shirt which is turned
over shall cover the upper part of the
sleeves and bosom.— Yankee Blade.

“German
Syrup”
G. Gloger, Druggist, Watertown,
Wis. This is the opinion of a man
who keeps a drug store, sells all
medicines, comes in direct contact
with the “patients and their families,
and knows better than anyone else
how remedies sell, and what true
merit they have. He hears of all
the failures and successes, and can
therefore judge: “I know of no
medicine for Coughs, Sore Throat,
or Hoarseness that had done such ef¬
fective work in my
Coughs, family as Boschee’s
Sore Throat, German Syrup. Last
winter a lady called
H oar se n ess, at my store, who was
suffering from a very
severe cold. She could hardly talk ;
and I told her about German Syrup
and that a few doses would give re¬
lief; but she had no confidence in
patent medicines. I told her to take
a bottle, and if the results were not
satisfactory I would make no charge
for it. A few days after she called
and paid for it, saying that she
would never be without it in future as
a few doses had given her relief. ’ ’ ®

A SAFE WAT TO BATHE A DELICATE BABT
Some one suggests that a very good
way to give a bath to a delicate infant
is to lay a small blanket in the bottom
of the bath, and wrap it around the
child before lifting him oat of the
warm water. In this way he can feel
no chill whatever from the outside air.
The nurse should havo on a large tow¬
eling apron in which to wrap the baby,
wet blanket and all. The head can
then be dried and the upper extrem¬
ities, keeping him well wrapped up all
the time. Pat on a warm skirt, slip
off the wet apron and wrap the little
one in a warm, big Turkish towel and
dry and rub him thoroughly.—[Brook¬
lyn Citixen.
FOOD DAINTIES FOB INVALIDS.
Broiled bacon, dusted slightly with
eayeune peper, will often tempt a tick
person to eat, when nothing else will.
The old prejudice against it is dying
out, as physicians say that bacon, well
cooked, is an easily digested form of
fat. When buying canned tomatoes
to make dishes for the sick, be sure
and get the best. Most sick persona
will relish tomatoes, especially when
nicely served on toast Soups made
with cream or milk are generally said
to be best for invalids. Sometimes
salt fish will be relished by an invalid,
if very carefully prepared as follows:
Pick a small piece of tho thickest part
of salt fish into long flakes. If very
salt soak a few minutes in cold water.
Brown over hot coals. Spread with
butter and serve hot. Smoked salmon
or halibut may be prepared in the
same manner. But, whatever you
prepare for the sick room,be sure that
the tray is covered with the whitest of
napkins, and that the dishes are pretty
and neatly arranged. Nothing, how¬
ever, is so consoling in a sick room as
cleanliness. Have everything spotless,
clean and neat.— [New York News.
HOW TO BAKE MEAT.
The most perfectly baked meats are
cooked as follow*: Heat the baking
pan on the top of the stove untij
smoking hot; lay the roast on it and
let the cut surface sear and slightly
brown; turn, and sear and brown the
other side also. Put in a hot oven and
baste only with its own gravy. Salt
toughens the meat and has a tendency
to extract the juices, and should not be
added until just before the meat is
done. If the temperature of the oven
is just right, whan the oven door is
opened a gentle simmering and spat¬
tering will go on; if it is too hot the
drippings will burn and the oven will
be filled with smoke. An even, steady
heat must be maintained to bake a
piece of meat properly.
The best ribs of beef are the third
and fourth for a roast from seven to
nine pound*, and the third, fourth and
fifth for a larger roast. Never have
the bone taken out and the meat
rolled; the meat loses in sweetnes*.
Let your butcher saw across the undei
pnrt of the rib* in one or two places,
so that after the meat has been scared
on the cut aides it can stand in the
pan, with the rim of fat upward.
The searing process hardens the out¬
side and thus retains the juice*.—
[American Agriculturist.

Cream Pie.—Beat the white* of four

rich milk if you have no cream,, and
flavor with lemon, vanilla, or any ex¬

sized potatoes and boil them until they
can be pressed through a colander,
then stir in one cup of cream or rich
milk and return to the water the pota¬

sprinkle this into the boiling soup.

Vanderbilt’s Millions.
Mr. Vanderbilt was worth $200,000,000;
If this sum were in standard silver dol¬
lars it would present such features as this:
Put lengthwise, dollar after dollar, it
would stretch a distance of 4,673 miles,
making a silver streak from New York
across the ocean to Liverpool.
Piled up, dollar on dollar, it would
reach a height of 355 miles.
Laid fiat on the ground, the dollars
would cover a space of nearly sixty acres.
The weight of this mass of silver
would be 7160 tons.
To transport it would require 858 cars,
carrying twenty tons each (this is the
and capacity of the strongest freight cars),
one-half making a train just about two and
miles long.
In one dollar bills this $200,000,000
fortune would assume such shapes as
this:
The bills stretched lengthwise would
extend 23,674 miles, or nearly the cir¬
cumference of the earth at the equator.
Piled up one on another, close as leave*
in a new book, they would reach a height
of twielve miles.

Central acres, Park, or nearly the whole surface of
in New York City, includ¬
ing ponds and reservoirs.

There’s a good deal of
guarantee business in the stone
keeping of to-day. It’s too
excessive. Or too reluctant.
Half the time it means noth¬
ing. This Words offer —only words.
to- refund the
money, or to pay a reward, is
made under the hope that you
won’t want your money back,
and that you won’t claim the
reward. Of course.
So, whoever is honest in
making it, and works—not on
his own reputation alone, but
through the local dealer whom
you know, must have some¬
thing he has faith in back of
the guarantee. The business
wouldn’t stand a year with¬
out it.
What is lacking is confi¬
dence. Back of that, what is
lacking is that clear honesty
which is above the “average
practice.” Pierce’s
Dr. medicines are
guaranteed to accomplish what
they are intended to do, and
their makers give the money
back if the result isn’t ap¬
parent.
Doesn’t it strike you that
a medicine which the makers
have so much confidence in,
is the medicine for you?
