The tonic properties of rhubarb are generally acknowledged, but its use should not end with the seaâ€" son, for when preserved in variâ€" ous ways for winter it not only re- tains all of its medicinal values, ut presents them in a most pala- table form. Simply canned by the cold water process, rhubarb may be used for pies and puddings throughout the Winter exactly as if it were fresh. This process consists in filling steriâ€" lized cans with the fresh rhubarb, cut in cubes, the-n pouring in fresh cold water until every particle of air is excluded, when the cans may be sealed, with the assurance that when opened the contents will be of good flavor and well kept. For the filling process, some housewives set the cans under the faucets, all-owing the water to run until its own weight expels all the air bubbles, while others prefer to submerge the can in a pail of water for a short time. Whichever me- thod is used, the main point is to have every crevice filled with water, with no room for the tiniest air bubble, when the rhubarb will keep perfectly. There are various forms of jams and marmalades made of rhubarb which are excellent things to have on hand, both for breakfast relish and as a delicious, ever ready fil- ling fo-r cakes and patty shells and puddings. Rhubarb Preservesâ€"0f these one of the simplest and best is plain rhubarb preserve. Peel and cut the rhubarb in cubes and to every quart allow one pound of moist sugar. Put the sugar over the rhu- barb in layers and let stand over night to extract the juice. Next day boil the sugar and juice toâ€" gether for twenty minutes, then put in the rhubarb and simmer slowly for twenty minutes longer. Stir as little as possible in order to keep the pieces of rhubarb whole. When done seal in jars. A delicacy a. little out of the or- dinary is almond-rhubarb marinaâ€" lad-e. Peel and cut up rhubarb and boil wirth’but little water until soft. Allow one pound of «sugar, one ounce of sweet almond-s,- blanched and chopped, and half a lemon cut in thin slices to every pint of pulp. .. iv...“ Medial coductsl LgflfiY’3 l EVA Pom TED Milk Contains double the Nutriment and None of the Injurious Bacteria so often found in So- callcd Fresh or Raw Milk.

Libby, McNeil! & Libby The proportions are one part of rhubarb to one part of black cur- rants and one pound of sugar to each pound or fruit. Boil slowly until thick. Fig rhubarb marmalade is an- other favorite. To every six pounds of rhubarb cut up without peeling allow one pound of figs and a quar- ter of a pound of candied lemon pee-l. Cook the rhubarb and ex- tract the juice. as for jelly, add the . chopped figs and lemon peel and five pounds of sugar, and let cook slowly together for one hour. Seal in jelly glasses. Compounded with Orangesâ€"Still another delicious compound is oranges and rhubarb. Allow six oranges to each quart of cut rhu- barb and one and one-half pounds of sugar. Remove the white rinds and pips from the orange, slice the yellow peel and pulp into the pre- serving kettle with the rhubarb and sugar, and boil slowly until done. A pleasing variety to this rule is one pound of seeded raisins in place of three of the orange-s. Rhubarb jelly, while a favorite with out grandmothers, is not so well known as it should be by mod- ern cooks. Only fresh young rhu- barb should be used for this, as when too late in the season the jelly sometimes refuses to set. Make as other jelly. In still another form is rhubarb of benefit to invalids when made in- to health-giving wine. This is superior to most homeâ€"made wines, acquiring with age a flavor like champagne. To make it bruise ten pounds of cut rhubarb with a heavy weight to extract the juice, add two gallons of water, and let stand five days, stiring occasionally. Add eight pounds of sugar and the rinds of two lemons to the strained juice. Let remain five days more, adding to it on the second day half an ounce of gclatine to assist in the clearing. At the end of five days skim any crust from top and put in cask or bottles, leaving open for two weeks, with cheesecloth tied over to exclude dust. Now cork and let stand six months before sealing. If made in spring this wine will be ready to use by Christ- mas or possibly Thanksgiving, though, as with other wines, age is an important factor in its per- fection. USEFUL HINTS. Salt thrown on soot which has fallen on the carpet will prev-cut stain. Moistcning baby’s lips with cold water, or giving him a drink of the same, will oft-en soothe and refresh and stop the little one crying or fretting. To prevent the shiny look that some skin-s seem. always to acquire after washing, dab a little weak vinegar and water over the face new and then, when it is looking worse than usual. To make a mustard plaster, mix the mustard with the white of one egg until it forms a smooth paste, then spread it between two thickâ€" nesses of soft muslin before plac- ing it upon the affected part.

T00 NANYWOMEN SUPPER lN SILENCE When the B1000 is Weak or Out of Order Disease is Inevitable. Many women go through life suf- fering in silenceâ€"weak, ailing and unhappy. The langour and bloodâ€" lessness of girls and young women, with headaches, dizziness and faint- ing spells; the nervous ailments; back pains and failure of strength of wives and mothers; the trials that come to all women at the turn of life, are caused usually by im- poverishcd, watery blood. Dr. Wll- liams’ Pink Pills for Pale People have helped more women to the joy of good health and robust strength than any other medicine 1n the world. These Pills actually make new, rich, red blood, which reaches every part of the body, feeds the starved nerves, strengthens every organ, and makes weak girls and women bright and well. Mrs. Eagles, Dundas, Ont., says :â€"-“.I am writing this letter out of grain- tude to let you know the great beâ€" nefit Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills have been to me. From the time I was a girl I suffered from weakness and fainting spellsâ€"«was always doctor- ing, but it did not help me. As I grew older I seemed to grow worse. My blood seemed literally turned to water. Sometimes I would faint as often as twice a day. I suffered from indigestion. I could not walk upstairs without stopping to rest on the way, and my heart would palpitatc so violently as to produce a smothering sensation. I grew so weak that people thought I was in I was in this dreadâ€" when Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills were brought to my at- tention and I began taking them. The first sign of benefit I noticed was an improvement in my appetite. Then I began to grow stronger, the color began to return to my face; the fainting spells disappeared and gradually I was brought to a con- dition of more perfect health than I had ever enjoyed before. This is what Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills have done for me. and that they have been of lasting benefit is proved by the fact that it is several years since they restored my health, and l have. remained strong and well ever since.” .

Every )1ch Owner Got Big Profit on the Investment. A. charwoman picked up a pearl pin last summer in the. gravel of the Champs Elysee-s, Paris, and. having no idea of its value, she showod it to a jeweler, who dis- honcstly took advantage of her ig- norance and gave her <10 cents for it. He was not much wiser himself, however, as he sold it for $20 to a dealer who easily found a purchas- er at $50. The latter got $200 for it with equal case from a fifth per- son, who in his turn went over to London with “the pearl pin and disâ€" posed of it for $1,000 to a jeweler. In his turn the jeweler showed it to a detective. who recognized it as a pearl worth $8,000, which had been lost or stolen a year be fore in Paris, and which he had been commissioned to trace and, if possible. recover.

Protection Against Moths. â€" Use newspaper in all boxes and trunk-s where winter clothing is to be packâ€" ed, as moths abhor printer’s ink. Also wrap all plumes and wings in newspaper, fasten the ends secure- ly with pins, and you need not worâ€" ry about moths. Marks Made with Matches. â€"~ Cut a sour orange or lemon in half.
