THE WINNIE DAVIS MEMORIAL
HALL.
We promised in our last week’s paper
to give our readers some items of interest
in regard to the presentation of the Win
nie Davis hall to the state by the Daugh
ters" of The Confederacy. Soon after the
death of Winnie Davis the Georgia
Daughters met in Rome and Mrs. Janies
A Rounsavilla suggested that a suitaole
monument be erected to Winnie Davis.
Time was asked to consider the sugges
tion, all the members being enthusiastic
on th' subject. The next year when the
convention met in Athens it was decided
"e build a large hall on the grounds of

SOME PRACTICAL SUGGES
TIONS FOR HOUSEKEEPERS.
Winter Bedding.
The time for comforts and blankets is
with us again and there is nothing we
enjoy better than a warm, comfortable
bed. The many duties that fall to the lot
of the modern housewife usually’ leave
her very little time for piecing quilts,
and the pretty and easily made comforts
take their place. Get five or six potinds
of the best cotton batting for a large
comfort, a good quality of gingham or
percale for the cover, and knot them
closely with cotton or yarn. If one is
careful with them they will often stay
clean until worn out.
Blankets need special care to keep them
sweet and clean, for wool is a great ab
sorbent and though they do not look
soiled, they need trequnt washing. If it
is a double blanket cut It apart and bind
the edges or finish them with buttonholo
stitching, done with yarn o! any color
you happen to have. It is much easier to
handle than if left double. Shake it well
to remove the dust and heat a boilerful
of soft water until almost boiling. Slice
a bar of good laundry soap fine, add
two heaping tablespoonfuls of powdered
borax, cover with boljing water and let
stand on the back of the stove until it
lias dissolved. Be sure the soap is thor
oughly dissolved or it will stick to the
blanket and cause it to shrink. Pour the
hot water into toe washing machine, add
enough of this s ■ soup to make a strong
lather, put the. blanket in and rub vigor
ously' for five minutes or more. Run it
through the wringer into the second wa
ter and after washing in this, rinse
through two or thre warm waters and
hang it up to dry. Put a clothes pin on
every few inches to hold it securely,
and if a brisk breeze is blowing it helps
to remove the wrinkles. This method is
us<d by German housewives, who always
put borax in the water for washing wool
en goods. It makes them easier to wash
and keeps them soft and new.
It Is a good plan to han«& the blankets
and other bedding on the line ones a
wet k to air, and let them have the benefit
of a clear breezy day. One’s sleep is so
refreshing when the bed has been reno
vated and purified by exposure to the
fresh air several hours.—Western House
keeper.

k KANSAS PREACHER
HOW HIS EXPERIENCE HELPED
HIS DAUGHTER.
After Her Father's Death Miss Bue
chel Encountered Serious Diffi
culties, but Overcame Them’
The Rev. Charles Buechel, late pastor
of the German Methodist Episcopal
church In W’miita, Kans., was one of the
best known ministers of the state, having
served in all its principal cities during
his long pastorate. His daughter, Miss
Lydia Buechel. now residing at No. 421
South Water street, Wichita, also has a
wide acquaintance and her evidence on
an important topic will command att< n
tion. She says:
"For six years T suffered with a nerv
oiTs debility which physicians failed to
relievo and finally I was confined to my
bed, a victim of nervous prostration. I
was so nervous that I could not sleep,
my stomach got so bad that everything
I ate hurt me and my system became
worn out from the nervousness and lack
of nourishme.it.
"When my father was alive he fre
quently took Ttr. Williams’ Pink Pills
for Pale People when he was worn out
and nervous from preaching, and they
always helped him. so I decided to see
what they would do for me. After taking
one box I experienced relief and a few
boxes cured me. T am perfectly willing
to have this statement published in the
hope that It will be the means of helping
other sufferers to regain their health.”
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Tale People
are an unfailing specific for all diseases
arising from impoverished blood or weak
ened, unstrung nerves—two fruitful
causes of nearly all the ailments to which
mankind is fioir. They have cured loco
motor ataxia, partial paralysis. St. Vitus’
dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism,
nervous headache, the after-effects of
the grin palpitation of the heart, pale
and sallow complexions and al! forms of
weakness either In male or female.
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People
are sold by an dealers or will bo sent
postpaid on receipt of price, fifty cents a.

’ given to the child. Upon the attainment
i of her IBt.h year she was discovered to
I be the daughter of the Marchioness de
i Berkenfield, and by her removed to a
sphere more consonant to the dignity
of her birth. Still the affectionate girl
found It impossible to shako off her at
tachment:.. and being reproached by her
mother with want of pride, defended her
self in the words below:
Ask me not why my heart with fond emo
tion
Beats for the brave companions of my
youth!
Had they not tended me with love’s de
votion,—
I h oi not lived alas, to prove my truth;
I A helpless babe upon the field I lay.
And but for them my life had passed
away.
Ere J forget them, all their loving klnd-
i Bring o’er my heart oblivion of the
past;
' But when you w:n for me that fatal
! blindness.
In mercy let that moment be my last.
Chide me no more. Were I devoid of feel- |
ing.
Would my ingratitude not wake thy
Worthless would he this moment's fond
revealing,
If I could cast aside the ties of long 1
years.
Thou hast my love, thine is a mother’s l
claim.
To them forget not that thou owest the
name,
My Mother, my Mother dear.
Ere I forget them, all their loving kind
ness,
Bring o’er my heart, oblivion of the past,
But when you win for me th.it. fatal
blindness.
In mercy let that moment bo my last!
(Those words were set to music and It is
a very beautiful song.).

an evening’s social converse, music and
recitations, etc., if the .oniuaiiy fs gifted
in these accomplishments ami, 1 believe,
you will have no difli ulty in attracting
young people to your house. And, .sister,
do you mingle with your young guests as
much as you possibly can? Take part In
their games and accompany th&m to un
cials whenever it is possible for you to do
so. You will gain their affection and their
confidence and you don't know how it w»l
rejuvenate you. Do all the Kingdom sit
ters know the value of hot (not boiled)
sweet milk for a weak stomach and in
digestion? Put a pint of fresh milk (use
morning's milk skimmed from dinner) on
the stove and let it get as hot as you
can take it witli a teaspoon from a cep,
about like tea and coifee. Never boil it.
("Boiled milk is unfit for use,” says a
wise old physician.) Let the sufferer take
tills three times a day instead of his
meals. If the appetite is not satisfied one
may eat some plain food in addition, but
bad best not eat pastry or rich food for
a few days. If tiie taste Is unpleasant
one may sweeten it and add any desired
flavoring or spice. Two or three days of
this treatment will relieve very severe at
tacks of stomach trouble when any and
-all food causes distress. We have tried it

Is my hobby, but I don’t want tiie posies

old-fashioned, hardy white madonna lilies
please offer them for exchange? I have
just moved to a new home and would like
to get some.
Mrs. Ann Govan, 707 Madison Avenue.
Montgomery, Ala.—As the holidays draw
near the varied arts of lace making, burnt
wood and the latest fad, Indian bead
work, are all suitable for gifts, and can
bo done at odd times to avoid a rush at
the last, but how prone we all are to
neglect an opportunity of securing some
pretty pattern to our regret when we
med it. Some years ago it was my good
fortune to secure one of the best rag doll
patterns [ have seen .'.nd after making
one or two dolls, painting tiie faces and
bands, there was a demand tor them and
1 have made over $75 flora that little
pattern. Tints we see tiie value of small
things.
Spinster—Well, if any one does not get
inspired to (lie highest pitch and feel
greatly benefited when they read all the
helpful advice which is published in the
many newspapers and magazines which
are circulated over this wide w >rld. it is
because they have no earing qualities.
Since the rural free delivery of mall
has been brought about it passes right by
our door and we gel right smart of
sample copies of till sorts of magaziv s,
and if we dont’ happen to get something
there is our neighbor. Sam Perkins, w.ho
lives back oft.’ the road, he gets some
tiling sometimes. Hl., mail is put out
along with ours, and wc don’t let it go
away until we get "Cerytiling out of it.
Alj these papers are filled with the very
best kind of advice, and, especially in tiie
farming magazine::, there is sure to :>e a
nice long lett' i from somebody who is
having such booming luck witli a. lot of
line chickens just ha tolled out in one of
these Incubators, and now got them in
tiie brooder, starving them for twenty
four hours. 1 reckon that is done to
t'-aeh them from tin beginning to know
liow it feels without something to eat.
Then goes on tiie finest description of
beautiful palaces of art galleries, summer
and winter resorts, and many other
tilings which are almost an absolute ne
-ity for successful poultry raising.
1 get s') earri'.ci away I ; right up
and go out and witli a squinting eye I
closely to J: over the little pole house
wliieli our (owls have been roosting in
from one year’s end to tiie next ever
since I can remember.
It has done us service so long we
Imk upon it as a kind of family relie,
and could not think of doing away with
it. and witii a few artistic touches I
try to make tilings as bright and inter
esting as possible, and am tempted to
go and take down that single, solitary
picture. "Courting in the Meadow,” which
a. merchant throw* d in one time when
we bought a good big bill of goods and
paid cash for them, and go out and hang
it up in tint fowl house so as to offer
every inducement for tiie increasing of
cliickcus and eggs for tiie table, and get
to sell a few, too.
I am powerfully interested in beg rais
ing. too, for it is so nice to have good
home-made ham all the yeai round, when
we got caught in a close place a few
days ago. The minister came along to
see some of liis church people. And so,
politelike, he stopped in to tell us he'was
coming buck along ami stop in for sup
per and get some of bur good old coun
try ham. it would have been terrible to
disappoint the minister when lie was so
■sir. ngl.v looking forward to getting that
ham, and I think providence must have
had a hand in this tiling. I'll tell you
tli ( facts, we had cut down so close, there
were but six slices of ham on tiie plae<
an thin slices, too. Well, we felt satisfied
that was more than the prem her would
eat, but a family of thirteen and one
extra could not very well sit down to a
table with six pieces qf meat, so we
just set on an extra full dish of bologna
and every member of tiie family knew
better than to touch tiie imni. for they
had been given strict orders before going
to the table. " b b
I don’t know how it ha emed, but
somehow or other when m > o. tlw family
was helping out. bologmi. of course,
on.- piece just pitched out and rolled
around on the table. Sam y littl- Tommy.
Will'S" equals ain’t to be found, and
nothing passes his eye. gave a pert whis
tle ami snapped his finger in a beckon- '
ing-like fashion and says lie. right out: !
"Yi'u come trotting around my plate
ami I bet I’ll stop you." 1 tell you j
what, you could hear .false teeth grinding !
around that table. I know 1 come pretty ■
mar .-'.wallowing mine tor fear Tommy
was going to let something come about i
that last hour Well, we’v<: got five right I
nice tittle shoals to butcher this win- I
ter-we had one more, but it di"d--and |
everything we S"e in tile papers about
f"-ding and raising hogs we try, so as to
mak" ours grow as big as possible.
Ami then again, sometimes I do feel
s<* sorry when I S'-" a letter from Some 1
man who got a. blind horse and wants I
to know if any one can tell wli.it to j
cure it. It makes me think so much of
cm next, neighbor, Caleb Jeakins if
ever was a good old soul he is one. He
ain’t got but one old mule and it’s blind
in both eyes. But just as regular as the
Sundays come around lie ri<les this old
mule to church on a saddle without a
girth. One Sunday when returning home
and making ready to dismount, ami he
was so enthused had begun to relate
to the waiting family, how much bene
fited ho felt from the good sermon he had
j Ist heard. Poor old mule could not see
that ho was walking too near the gate
post, and the stirrup caught on the latch
ing pin and dragged off Mr. J. nkins
s id'll" and all. It flustered the old sou!
pretty much and he jumped up and ex
claimed, “How in d—l e.ni a man go to
heaven on a blind mule?” We look over
*h" p’tpt rs high and low and every litr*.
tiling w. see about blind horses wo tell
Mr. Jenkins. so lie can try it, but it seems
of 110 avail. W"ll, 1 hone all the good
sisters fool as much benefited as I do
from the Iwlpful advice which we get
from tli" papers.
Mr". W P. Eves. Lacey. Miss.—As cold :
weather is again coming ami It reminds i
me so much of the suffering that win be
endured by the poor and needy, I want i
t) call some Os Ollr Kingdom sisters’
attention to a particular case ami all I
who wish to do something for the Mas
ter’s sake will find ti rare, good oppor
tunity here. Some times we make a
mistake ami find some “unworthy” poor,
but tills is one of the "very worthy"
kind. Two little old ladies, both widows,
with no children living or no mar rela
tives; they are sister ami real gentle’-
women. but very poor, Mrs. Jones, the
eldest, is i>bout sixty. Her husband was
an old confederate soldier. lie has been
dead about twelve years. Mrs. Parker,
tiie youngest, i-- fifty-six or fifty-eight.
Her husband lias been dead only about
two years.
He was tiie sole support of these two
obi ladies, for they all resided together,
one Hay. while sawing in the woods, a
limb 101 l on him. killing him instantly,
and he was carried home dead. Since
lii.; death these little old ladies have sup
ported themselves by washing, quilting
or doing any little odd jobs they can
g< t. They are not really able to work
much, for old Mrs. Parker is nearly deaf
and Mrs. Jones is crippled up witli rheu
matism nearly all Hie time. She said
one day when I was inquiring about iter
health that she had been accustomed
to wearing flannel and all her Hunnels
were worn out now. and there was no
jiossilbla way for her to. get any more,

her signature to the following letter, praises
Lydia E, Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound*
j “ Dear Mrs. Pinkham : There are but few wives and mothers who
have not at times endured agonies and such pain as only women know.
I wish such women knew the value of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound. It is a remarkable medicine, different in action from any
I ever knew and thoroughly reliable.
“ I have seen cases where women doctored for years without perma
nent benefit, who were cured in less than three months after taking ; our
Vegetable Compound, while others who were chronic, and incural lo
came out cured,happy, and in perfect health after a thorough t ■' atn-Lt
with this medicine. I have never used it myself without gaining gr at
benefit. A few doses restores my strength and appetite, and tones up
the entire system. Your medicine has been tried and found true, <3
I fully endorse it.” Mrs. It. A. Anderson, 225 M ashington. St., Ja< u
