From Day to Day.. 
A TRUE LENT. 
Is this a fast—to keep 
The larder lean. 
And clean, 
From fat of veals and sheep? 
Is it to quit the dish 
Of flesh, yet still 
To All 
The platter high with fish? 
Is it to fast an hour. 
Or ragged to go. 
Or show 
A downcast look, and sour? 
No! ’tis a fast to dole 
Thy sheaf of wheat, 
And meat. 
Unto the hungry soul. 
from the liquor, cool and put it through 
the meat cutter, using the coarse plate. 
Place one quart of the broth over the 
fire and when it boils stir in a cupful of 
Quaker oats; cook for a half hour. Then 
add the chopped meat, a half teaspoon¬ 
ful of salt, a saltspoonful of pepper, a 
tablespoonful of walnut catsup and a 
dash of cayenne. Cook all together for 
a minute, then turn into a buttered pan 
and set aside until wanted. This quan¬ 
tity will fill a pan 9x13 and two inches 
deep. When ready to use cut in squares 
and fry as you would mush, browning 
both sides well. 
The Rural Patterns. 
It is to fast from strife, 
From old debate 
And hate— 
To circumcise thy life. 
To show a heart grief-rent; 
To starve thy sin. 
Not bin— 
And that’s to keep thy Lent. 
—Robert Herrick (1591-1674).

Tapkd buttons, sold by the card for 
10 cents a dozen, are a convenience 
either in making or mending the chil¬ 
dren’s wardrobes. They are stout bone 
buttons mounted on tape, like those on 
readymade children’s waists.

Amoa'o little aids which should be kept 
near the sink is sand-paper cut into two- 
inch bits. This will remove stains and 
adhering scraps from cooking vessels 
where the chain dishcloth is powerless. 
Stains caused by baking may usually be 
rubbed off with salt.

' Skirt hangers of heavy nickel wire 
are great savers of closet room, as they 
may be put under a shelf, thus leaving 
the wall free for hooks. They cost 10 
cents for a wire that will hold one skirt, 
and 25 cents for one holding four gar¬ 
ments. A closet loop of nickel wire, 
which costs 20 cents, will hold a num¬ 
ber of hangers. 
Oui! friends are responding generous¬ 
ly to the call for apple recipes, and we 
think this interchange of knowledge will 
be of practical benefit. Here is a recipe 
for baked apples in Jelly. Peel, core and 
quarter a quart of apples, add half a cup¬ 
ful of water and three-fourths cupful of 
sugar, put in a covered earthen dish and 
cook three to four hours in a slow ovep, 
when they should be dark red in color. 
Then mix with the apples a cupful of 
liquid lerhon jelly, and set in a mold 
to harden. These baked apples are also 
very nice eaten warm without the jelly.

salts with which the wood is impreg¬ 
nated. This effect is now produced arti¬ 
ficially; “driftwood blaze” is sold, by the 
can, in tlie form of a powder which is 
sifted over the fire wood, for the purpose 
of tinting the flames with salt-water 
coloring. It seems a pardonable decep-' 
tion, though somewhat suggestive of the 
cheering blaze of an incombustible gas 
log.

STRENGTH 
Twenty-five years ago In acquainting jewelers^with the j 
strength of the Jas. Boss, Stiffened Gold Watch Cases, '' 
an enterprising salesman used the method here shown. ' 
.Tas. Boss Cases are still the strongest cases made. As ' 
good ns solid gold in appearance. Better than gold In 
wearing quality. Less than solid gold in cost. In a 
MS. BOSS 
Watch Case 
there is a layer of very hard composition between ,an 
insi(Jft,and outside layer of solid gold reducing the cost 
of the case, and adding greatly to its strength. 
BOSS Cases are guaranteed to wear for 25 years: are 
recognized as the standard, and sold as such by all 
jewelers.: Writaais^or-abookiet.
