Crimson Rambler: Can’'t you guess who T am? ¥ou know me very well, and I have been to your house a num- ber of times since you lived in Pres- ton. How about Hallow'een? Don't you "think we ought to send some oards? 2 ‘Silent Partner of Preston: I am with you. Let us make Crimson Rambler do some .guessing.

IS A WISH A PRAYER? Dear Editor and Social Corner Friends:—Is a wish-a prayer? ‘While these two terms are not pre- cisely identic: it would seem from the following incident that they are near akin. A friend of mine called on a boy aged 14, who was sick with consump- tion. She asked him if he ever pray- “No,” answered Willie, “I never prayed in my life, but I told God I wished He would make me well, and if He could not I wished. He would| make me fit to die.” The visitor replied: “Your wish' is just the same as a prayer.” After many months the little sufferer passed to his reward. His death was peaceful, believing that God had grant- €d his wish. If, then, a wish is substantially a .prayer, how careful we should be in _wishing bad luck to those whom we dislike. Did you gver recall that these wick2d wishes inefiective, as often-| times the ill-luck that is wished seems to react on the wishers, and prosperity seems to come to the ones who are wished 'to have trouble. Thus God apparently rebukes those -who -harbor these feelings, for “He moves in a msterious way His won- ders to perform.” Recipe for layer cake: Layer Cake—One cup sugar, five tablespoons butter, one cup milk, one and one-half cups prepared flour. Sea- gnj&p taste. Frosting—One cup sugar, five table- srnx:'ns milk. . Boil seven minutes, then a Prepared Flour—Two quarts flour, two tablespoons soda, one teaspoon salt. Sift several times. AUNT AMY, ECONOMY IN HOME CANNED FRUIT. - Dear Social Cornerites: I wonder if any of you have ever made a com- parison in the prices of food preserved at home and those bought ‘at the stores. I tried it this year and feel convinced that when working people wish to enjoy these luxuries they should be put up-at home. Tomatoes at bargain prices sell for $1 a dozen (the large cans), from a 12 quart basket of tomatoes which I bought during the season for 20 cents. I preserved 8 quarts of tomatoes, so my tomatoes cost me but 2 1-2 cents a quart, . From one bushel-of tomatoes I made 30 pint bottles of catsup. Tomatoes cost me 75 cents a bushel and 35 cents for spices; corks for. bottles cost 18 cents (always use new ones), making a total of $1.28. As the best catsup costs 25 cents a bottle you can see the saving. Cherries I bought from a neighbor for 5 cents a quart. From 20 quarts of uncooked fruit I had ten quarts preserved; sugar was cheap at that tme; I used two and one-half pounds which amounted to ten cents, which gave me my ten.quarts of les for 11 _cents a quart. ‘With me strawberries cost the most of any of the fruits. I bought 12 baskets for $1 and had but 5 quarts preserved. These require very little sugar. Rhubarb can be preserved by sim- ply putting the stalks into the jars and filling up with cold water, fas- tening the tops on tight.. I have a friend who tells me that she also pre- serves-huckleberries in the same man- ner. I wonder if any member of The So- cial Corner has ever done them that way. I did not know of it until af- ter the season had passed so could not try it, but intend to another year. AUNT NANCY. fortable or too few to be changed when needed, and sheets, pillow slips and blankets were not plenty when there was no chance to wash, A plain pillow slip, or night dress, is better than® onme that -must be guarded from accidents, and a strip of rubber sheeting, or even ‘table oil- cloth, or a piece of old quilt will pro- tect the bed, and if placed over the bottom sheet and covered with a draw sheet, a yard wide and long enough to tuck under at both sides, it to keep the bed clean. Every woman should have .a ki- mona, or bathrobe, not for' show, ‘but for real use; and a-pair of soft slip- pers or shoes and a small cape, shawl or even a piece of blanket to protect the shoulders when ill, or if called up in the night. And again, save old white cloth and pieces of flannel. I was told re- cently of a case where a wealthy fam- ily could not find a strip of soft white cloth for the doctor to use on a cut, but had to go out and get bandages before the cut could be dressed. ETTA BARBER. is easy HIGH LIVING AT LOW COST. Dear Editor and Social Corner Sls- ters: Through the courtesy of the %‘1- r. iter, I received your card, Yes, you guessed right. I am the friend of old standing, and was glad to know you remembered me. Was sorry I could not attend the fair this year and meet the Sisters at The Bul- letin’ tent. 1 enjoyed reading the interesting let- ter of Sarah Ann Tige concerning the privileges of going to town. I find from my experience in living in the larger cities that one has to be doubly economical owing to the higher rents and advanced costs of foodstuffs. To enjoy a|respectable locality and have ample supply of provision for the ta- ble require considerable thought in the art of purchasing to advantage. A few suggestions for cheap but wholesome dishes may not go amiss: For Salisbury Steak—I get two or three pounds of neck beef and grind it myself very fine with a large onion and three or four crackers. Season with salt and pepper and Bell's poul- try seasoning. Shape oblong, sprinkle with crumbs and bake in the oven. This will feed four or flve and costs less than 35 cents. A Cheap Recipe for Pork Sausage— Purchase from your butcher two or three. pounds .of -the blade.end (the chime) of fresh pork, which many butchers discard, but can be bought for three or four -cents a pound. Grind this with a few crackers and pack it very tightly into a dampened salt bag. Tie it tightly and slice it as needed. This should be seasoned with salt, pep- per and mace. Salmon Cutlets are also very appe- tizing and within the means of all. I take a large tablespoon of butter and melt in saucepan, then add enough flour to stiffen this with. Have a littie more than a pint of hot milk and join this to your flour and butter which has cooked a few minutes separately. Add the milk slowly and be sure it is stiff. Now pick over your salmon and add to the mixture and stir thoroughly. Af- ter it is heated through place In shal- low pan to cool. Form into shape, dip in flour, beaten egg and cracker crumbs and fry golden brown in deep hot fat. Your salmon will cost you about 15 or 18 cents, making a palatable entree for five or six pegple. People are at times at their wits’ ends to economize on a scanty purse, but I find that at present cost of meats it is far cheaper to purchase fowl or chicken than .to buy the higher priced c:ts‘ Not onl‘y ttg: the :fizol;y dishes ol tx.?ld..'hut it the exe nt meal it Provideary <Aisst Aad al I generally buy a fowl and boil it, obtaining the soup. I skin the fowl and grind the skins up fine and make @elicious “crogifettes. Then I ‘brown the fowl in the oven and serve as roast. If there is anything left I gen- erally make a hash or salad of this. I return the bones to the pot and have my second soup with rice bles. 4 : If there is any meat that more can be obtained from than the chicken, I wish the Sisters would inform me. I trust some of the Cornerites will try some of these recipes and find them as tasty as I have. Hoping we can try and reduce .the high cost of living, I am as always, AUNT JULE. or vegeta- GREEN TOMATO PIE NOT TO BE DESPISED. Dear Social Corner Sisters: We all know that the green tomato pie has 20 per cent. more water in it than the meat mince pie for which it is a sub- stitute. It tastes just as well to me and digests more readily. My mouta for mince pie has never been satis- fied, but I was glad when this excel- lent substitute made its appearance. Lt is just as palatable if it is not quite as bracing. I agree with the endeavor of Help- mate to have information spread as to foed values. The man is fortunate who has a wife who knows how to feed bhis family for health instead of dys- ‘Pepsia. It doesp’t seem as though a pound of sweet potatoes could be as nour-{ PREPAREDNESS IN SICKNESS. Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: Can any_of the sisters recall a time when sudden sickness came and there was nothing ready ? Night dresses were either too much trimmed to be com- ishing as a_pound of best porterhouse steak, but by Helpmate’s estimate of the value of protein they must be, as they stand relatively 2i.9 protein tol 213 in a pound. A pound of porter- house steak costs 35 cents and a pound of sweet potatoes three cents. The cash value of sweet potatoes gives us 12 pounds for the price of one pound of steak. The protein in the steak. is 21.9 units, the protein in the sweet po- tatoes 255 1-2 units, or 11 times as much sustenance for the same amount of money.

Dear Social Cornerites: I have a few excellent Grandmother Remedies, which I am sending in the hope they may be of.great benefit to someone in time of need. They are all simple and tried and true, Buras and Bruises—Apply peach tre_e leaves, put smcoth side next the skin ‘and bind on . Saive 7or Cuts,” Burns or Wounds of Any Kind—Take one-half pound of sweet lard, and mix with five cents worth’ of powdered sulphur. Put. in tin boxes and apply on soft cotton cloth. _Jvy Poisoning—A simple and effec- tive rémedy is sweet spirits of nitre. Bathe the affected parts two or three times during the day and the next of the'egg seems to catch around the obstacle and remove it. If one egg does not give relief try another. The white is all that it is necessary to use. To Heal an Old Sore—This is an old pioneer remedy and was given to grandmother by one of the early set- tlers. She took half a cup of fresh lard and about one teaspoon of cal- omel and stirred into lard with a stick of wood, or a skewer would do nice- ly. Then she took a good, strong feather, dipped it into the prepared lard and went lightly over the sores (there were three on the leg between the ankle and knee). She ihen laid a thin cloth over the sores, but didn’t bind them, and grandmother said the pain was almost instantly relieved’ and the sores healed so per- fectly that reighbors were worried for fear she would have a sick spell. but she didn't feel any effects from the rapid healing, and the sores were all well in a few days. This remedy has helped many people and I am passing it along in the hope it will morning scarcely any trace of poison will remain. I have also seen a solution of com- mon baking soda and water used with most gratifying results, Quinsy—Gargle with water -as hot as can be borme. This gives great relief. Linin.ent—The , common mayweed blossom put in aleohol is superior to arnica. : Earache—Take a bit of cotton, put upon it a pinch of black pepper, gath- er it up and tie it, dip in sweet oil and insert in ear. Put a flannel ban- dage over head to keep it warm. It will give immediate relief. As soon as any soreness is felt in the ear let three or four drops of ar- nica be dropped in and the orifice be filled with cotton to exclude the air. It is & sure preventive against “gafhi- ering” in the ear which is the usual cause of earache. A Valuable Liniment—One ounce Wormwood to one pint aicohol, or bruise the green stalks of. wormwond; moisten with vinegar and apply to sprain. Good for man or beast. Sprains—The white of an egg and salt, mixed to a thick paste is one of the best remedies for sprains, bruises or lameness for man or beast. Asthma—Sufferers from asthma should wear a muskrat skin over their lungs with the fur side next the body. It will bring certain relief, Or, soak sheets of blotting paper in salt peter water, then dry and burn at night in patient’s bedroom. Wounds from Rusty Nail—Smoke this, or any inflamed wound over the fumes of burning woolen cloth, wool or sugar for 15 minutes and the pair will leave. Whooping Cough Cure—A gill of amber, half a gill of old Jamaica rum. Mix them together and rub the child's back and breast with it. Then put a piece of new flannel over breast and back. Do this night and morning and whenever the cough is very trouble- some. You will find whooping cough will not last long after this treatment. The old lady who gave this recipe to grandmother said it had cured hun- dreds of children and was given. to her by a doctor. For a Hoarse, Tight Cough—Take frequent sips of very hot water. You will find it will quickly. Tuberculosis—Get a can of tar from' the drug store. Place the contents in a Mason quart preserve jar and fill with water. In the morning take a couple of good swallows and re- peat two or three times a day., More water can be added as, needed. This has been known to produce wonderful results in a short time. Simple Remedy for Lockjaw—Dr. J. G. Hatch, an old physician of over ‘forty years’ practice recommended the following treatment for lockjaw, hav- ing tried it successfully both on him- self and on others: If a person is threatened with lockjaw from inju- ries in the hands, feet, arms or legs, do not wait for a doctor, but put the part injured in the following prepara- tién:” Put .hot wood ashes into water as warm as can be borne; if the in- jured part cannot be put into water then wet thick folded cloths in the water and apply to the part as soon as - possible, at the same time bath- ing the backbone from the neck down with some powerful laxative stimu- lant—cayenne pepper and water, or mustard and vinegar is better. It should be as hot as the patient can bear it. Don’t hesitate—go to work and do it! And don’t stop till the jaws relax and open. No person need die of lockjaw if ‘these directions are followed. Cure for Jaundice—Barbery root or bark is a sure cure for jaundice. Steep well and extract all the goodness pos- sible. Drink freely of the bitter li- quid. Many years ago this cured the writer's mother of the severest at- tack, and of recent years several others, To Relieve Choking—Give the pa- tient a raw egg to swallow. The white THIS WOMAN'S SICKNESS Quickly Yielded To Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. Baltimore, Md. — ““I am more than glad to tell what Lydia E. Pinkham’s 2 Vegetable Com- 3 pound did for me. I suffered dreadful pains and was very | irregular. I became alarmed and sent for Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com- pound. I took it reg- ularly until I was without a cramp or pain and felt like another person, and it has now been six months since I took any medicine at all. I hope my little note will assist you in helping other wo- men. I now feel perfectly well and in the best of health.”” — Mrs. AUGUST ‘W. KONDNER, 1632 Hollins Street, Bal- timore, Md. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com- pound, made from native roots and herbs, contains no narcotic or harmful drugs, and to-day holds the record of being the most successful remedy for female ills we know of, and thousands of voluntary testimonials on file in the Pinkham laboratory at Lynn, Mass., seem to prove this fact. For thirty years it has been the stand- ard remedy for female ills, and has re- stored the health of thousands of women who have been troubled with such ail- ments as displacements, inflammation, ulceration, tumors, irregularities, ete.

OVER THE HILLS AND, FAR AWAY. - EVERYTHING RIPE FOR THE HAR- VEST. Dear Social Corner Sisters: With most of us, the good old summer time is over. The children are back in school and we must get the fall canning and pickling done while the Vegetables are in their season. I pre- sume there will not be so much su- gar used this fall, it has soared so high. Many are canning without us- ing any sugar. We have not had any frosts, but everything seems fully ripe and ready for the harvester. The farmers’ wives surely are glad when the silos are filled. I know of one little woman who had fourteen men to feed for two days. I for one much prefer to cook for men with good country appetites. When the heft of the farm work is over how good it looks to see the farmer with his wife and children driving across country on a visit to some friend or relative, forgetting for a time their strenuous work, in the full ‘enjoyment of the trip. There are few who take those pleas- ures now, as families are not as con- genial as years ago. Mothers cannot endure the hard work—get nervous they call it. :The more they scold and nag the worse it is for the. whole family. Try meeting your husband with a smile and the old love. light in your eyes .and see if he does .not appreciate it and help to lighten yvour burden, I hear someone say: “It would be no use to try that with my hus- band.”” Then he must be a hardened brute. ‘We surely get some good ideas from e Social Corner writers, We hope to meet more of them another year. It was a .pleasure to attend some of the picnics. 3 Have any of .the Sisters used a fold- ing bath tub? 1If so please report in The Corner if it was satisfactory.’ Let us help to take the kinks aut of somebody’s life today by -saving something good and kind. Contribute some joy to some life if it is omly scratching a pig’s back. Best wishes. % 2 ROXANNA WINCE. WEARY OF WASHING DISHES.

I do not be- live in waiting for the Lord to correct trials which are home-made and which he expects the makers to abate. Lean- ing on the Lord with your whole weight must annoy Him and not help us. Leaning is not doing as I under- stand it, but just loafing. We have to be resigned to things we can't help but not to neglect, persecution or brutality. We have to be resigned if MI-0-NA QUICKLY ENDS INDIGESTION Eat Your Favorite Food and Never Fear After-Distress There is a way for you to eat what- ever your stomach craves and do it over again the next day. Many will say “How I wish I could but I have tried and every time it nearly kills me.” The real trouble is that people who suffer the unto]d agony of indigestion, do_not properly care for the stomach. Every stomach has a lot of work to perform in digesting the food and if crowded with extra labor it rebels and kicks up a fearful disturbance. Mi-o-na, a simple, harmless, inex- pensive and most _effective prescrip- tion, easily obtained at any drug store, will quickly stop this disturbance. Mi-o-na was especially prepared to regnlate out-of-order stomachs. It not only helps the over-worked digestive organs by increasing the flow of gas- tric juices, but surely and safely builds up and strengthens the stom- ach walls so that the stomach can care for the food as nature intended. It's needless for you to suffer with indigestion, heartburn, bilious- ness, sour, gassy or upset stomach, for Mi--na should give prompt and last- ing relief. Do not delay but get some of these health-restoring tablets from Lee & Osgood today. If Mi-o-na does not banish all stomach distress, there will not be a penny of expense. Are you still looking for a we have paralysis, but what is the use of being resigned when a bear is about to attack us. That seems to me the time to get the gun; if you dc not do it the bear is likely to eat you up. 4 There never was a truer saying than this: “The Lord helps those ,whg help themselves.”” Jesus did not tell the healed lepers and others that He cured them, or that the Lomi did jt, but he repcatedly declares “Thy faith has made thee ' whole” The New Testament teaches, if it teaches any- thing, that cooperating with The Spirit brings results, It seems to me man is told to do his part then he ma{ depend upon the Lord to do the rest. / Spunk must have had a divine origin or else how was Lucifer and hosts cast over the battlements bf heaven. Love is the -greatest power there is, but it must be rationally ap- plied. It does nc good to apply. mustard plaster to a stone post.
