"Reading maketh a full man," Lord Bacon said, Though most would have put the word "eating" instead; But he must have referred to a cookbook receipt, Where, 'tis plain to be seen, that to read means to eat. But if Bacon meant intellectual fullness, and thought reading of books would cure mental dullness, Then let us remember fish feeds the brain, And turn to our fish receipts (though with Mark Twain, If fish feeds the brain, when everything fails, To some of our friends we would recommend whale!) Tf a quarrel arises 'twixt husband and wife And cloud sof debate lower, threatening strife, Instead of debating though, perhaps, you would risk it 1 recommend some of Samantha's cream biscuit. If you can't collect debt sand your friends prove a sinner, Would you make him good natured, invite him to dinner! If your birthright is stollen, your brother distressing, Feed Esan with pottage, and with meal buy a blessing. But what need to say more, or fall to repeating. When "the proof of the pudding is found in the eating?" A. S. P. MIX THEM UP With sixty millions of others and you can find them again, for somehow they will be on top. This is said of the ISAACS- WOO DBURY GRADUATES For they have practical knowledge in their heads, love in their hearts, skill in their hands and health in their bodies. This school develops these qualities in young people. We give them a business education, train them for efficient business service, introduce and recommend them to business men, let them use our name as refer- ence all this and more. Eight to twelve months of THIS training is worth much more for practical purposes than a four year's Latin or "cultural" course. NOW IS A GOOD TIME To begin a course of study with us.

ORANGES are a remedy for influenza, also a purifier of the system. PINEAPPLES The juice of the pineapple contains digestive powers. THE PEACH, STRAWBERRY AND GRAPE rank very high amongst fresh fruits, having great tonic properties. LOSE none of the parts next to the skin of fruits, as -here the mineral elements are especially stored. THE SQUASH has considerable food value, rich in gluten. THE CARROT is very nutritious, allays inflammation, and contains pectic acid, which acts upon other food, promoting digestion. CELERY is also a valuable agent against rheumatism, and a wonderful nerve toner. WATERCRESS is pungent stimulant. Counteracts the effect of nicotine. HORSERADISH stimulates, cleanses and tones up the system. RHUBARB strengthens and incites the overworked stomach to healthy action, while its laxative qualities enable the clogged system to rid itself of much effete matter. SPINACH and other greens are fine spring vegetables, contain much iron and have a remedial effect on the lungs and liver. LETTUCE, fresh, crispy lettuce, is of untold value to nervous people, adults or child- ren. Don't forget the old time ONIONS, for in "Onion there is strength." It cleanses the general system. ASPARAGUS is another great cleanser, highly esteemed for its diuretic and tonic properties. BILLIOUS HEADACHE For billious headache take the juice of a lemon in hot water before breakfast, but you must not use sugar with it- How TO CLEAN AND KEEP A GAS RANGE IN FIRST CLASS ORDER The life and effi- ciency of a Gas Range depend? upon keeping it clean. Unlike the old-fashioned Coal Range, it does not burn off or absorb the accumulations which gather, thus the need for attention. In cleaning the range, every portion inside and out should be rubbed with an oily cloth. For oiling the cloth use a small piece of lard or suet free from salt. Olive oil, however, is the most desirable. Under no circumstances should you oil the stove when cold. To CLEAN CARPETS There is just one way to keep carpets perfectly clean. Use or have a Vacuum Cleaning Machine in place of the broom each week, or each day if need be. There is nothing about the house which affords such a secure hiding place for germ laden dust as the carpets, and the plan of periodically renovating them is not only ancient and unclean, but unhealthy as well. The medical profession is up in arms about the germs which a fly brings from the street on its feet ! How many more germs will adhere to the human foot than the foot of a fly? A Vacuum Machine is the only thing which will re- move all the dirt from a carpet without creating dust somewhere else. 31 Table of Weights and Measures 4 teaspoonfuls of liquid 4 tablespoonfuls of liquid . 1 tablespoonful of liquid . 1 pint of liquid 2 gills of liquid 1 kitchen cup . . . 1 heaping quart of sifted flour, or 4 cups 4 cups of flour I rounded tablespoonful of flour . 3 cups of cornmeal .... \i/2 pints of corn meal . 1 cup of butter 1 pint of butter .... 1 tablespoonful of butter Butter the size of an egg Butter the size of a walnut 1 solid pint of chopped meat . 10 eggs A dash of pepper . 2 cups of granulated sugar , 1 pint of granulated sugar 1 pint of brown sugar .... 2 l /2 cups of powdered sugar .

LIDKMKY TEA AND COFFEE. "Nothing regulates a man's temper and humor for the clay more than does a good breakfast, and a cup of good coffee constitutes a good breakfast." HINTS ON TEA MAKING. First, the water in which the leaf is used should be poured on the tea the moment it boils. Of all teapots, the little brown earthenware teapot is the very best for the purpose. The teapot must be thoroughly hot before tea is put into it. The connoisseur will half fill it with hot water, put on the lid, and set it on the heating stove or range until only the handle can be touched with impunity from heat. By following this plan, less tea is required than if the thorough heating of the teapot has been neglected. About 8 minutes are required for the infusion of black tea and about 5 minutes for green. GOOD COFFEE. One pint of coffee, enough cold water to wet the grounds, 1 gallon boiling water; boil 3 minutes; let stand where it will keep hot for 15 minutes, then drain and it is ready to serve. FRENCH DRIP COFFEE "CAFE NOIR." In making coffee use fresh water as soon as it boils. Do not let it boil and steam until the pure water is all evaporated. For 1 ordinary cup take 2 tablespoonfuls of finely pulverized coffee, which press down slightly in the strainer, then pour on the boiling hot water, letting it drip for about 8 minutes. When the water is all filtered through, you have "Cafe Noir," a very strong black coffee.
