The vulture eats between his meals, 
And that’s the reason why 
He very, very rarely feels 
As well as you and I. 
His eye is dull, his head is bald; 
His neck is growing thinner; 
Oh, what a lesson for us all 
To only eat at dinner.

Spanish Hash Pie.—Prepare pie paste 
in the usual manner, cut into large 
round cakes size of a large plate. Have 
in all about four. Place a tablespoonful 
of lard in a frying pan, fry the cakes 
one at a time on both sides, spread each 
rather thick with cooked hash. Cut the 
pie in the usual way and serve at once. 
Paprika Chicken.—This is a favorite 
Hungarian dish, appetizing at all sea¬ 
sons, but especially in the Summer, 
when the appetite is languid. Cut a nice 
tender chicken into pieces as for a fri¬ 
cassee; flatten a little, such pieces as need 
it. Season each piece with salt and pep¬ 
per, and dredge it lightly with flour, 
while you fry a minced onion in two 
tablespoonfuls of butter. Lay the 
chicken in the butter and onion, cooking 
for 20 minutes, so it will be evenly and 
thoroughly done. Take up the chicken 
and stir an even teaspoonful of salt and 
a very scant teaspoonful of paprika, or 
half a scant teaspoonful of good mild 
cayenne pepper of any kind. Add last 
of all a cupful of rich cream. Make some 
dumplings of a pint of sifted flour, two 
teaspoonfuls of baking powder, a salt- 
spoonful of salt and butter the size of 
in a greased baking pan about three- 
quarters of an inch apart, flrst sprink¬ 
ling cocoanut on top of each cake. Bake 
in a hot oven. Put in an airtight tin 
box when perfectly cold.

An Accurate Comparison. 
“An old countryman I used to know 
when I was living in south Georgia,” re¬ 
marked a college professor apropos of 
sudden changes in the weather, “was 
in at least one respect a very remark¬ 
able character. To a casual listener he 
appeared to be a fluent and unconscion¬ 
able liar, yet when you came to scrutinize 
any of his statements closely it was im¬ 
possible to catch him in the slightest 
deviation from the truth. One day in 
early Spring we had an unusually severe 
fall of hail, and next morning while 
driving down the road with a friend we 
happened to encounter the old fellow at 
his gate. ‘Well, Uncle Bob,’ I said, that 
was a pretty bad hailstorm we had yes¬ 
terday.’ ‘I should say it was,’ he re¬ 
plied. ‘You just oughter seed some of 
the stones that come down in my back 
yard.’ ‘How big were they?’ I asked. 
“Bout as big as watermelons,’ said he. 
‘Well, we’ve caught him in a whopper 
at last,’ chuckled my friend as we drove 
on. ‘No, we haven’t,’ I groaned. ‘As 
usual the old rascal has secured all the 
advantage of a fine, large lie and at the 
sime time has adhered rigidly to the 
truth. Look at that vine.’ An early 
watermelon vine was festooning the 
roadside, and here and there it was 
studded with minute green spheres 
about the size of gooseberries. My 
friend made no comment. I never tried 
to catch Uncle Bob again.”—Boston 
Beacon. 
Neighborly Kindness. 
Mrs. Potter is a woman of sterling 
worth and simple piety, but she has a 
way of expressing her opinions which 
sometimes gives offense to sensitive peo¬ 
ple. A neighbor’s daughter, an excellent 
but unusually plain young woman, was 
about to be married, and Mrs. Potter 
went to see her a few days before the 
wedding. 
“Well now, Mary Ann,” said Mrs. Pot¬ 
ter, as she sat looking at the bride-elect, 
“it’s a good thing you and James have 
decided not to wait any longer. Both 
of you are getting on, and besides that, 
nobody knows when a man may be 
turned aside from the path of duty by a 
pretty face. What is your wedding gown 
to be, my dear?” 
“White silK,” responded poor Mary 
Ann, endeavoring to look comfortable. 
“Ah, my dear, white’s pretty trying, I 
think,” said Mrs. Potter, faithfully, 
“though of course it’s common for brides 
to wear it, and all things considered, 
looks don’t matter much in your case. 
Of course James realizes that the Lord 
doesn’t judge by outward appearances, 
and he’s chosen the better part and de¬ 
cided to do the same.” 
“Yes’m,” said Mary Ann, with due 
meekness. 
“And besides,” added the comforting 
visitor, with a smile of great benevo¬ 
lence, “if you were to wear a color, Mary 
Ann, it would look to any stranger that 
might happen in to the church as if 
you d been married before, and it’s bet¬ 
ter to sail under your own flag at times 
like this, no matter if ’tis unbecoming, 
for, of course, you aren’t a widow, 
though there’s been plenty of time for 
you to be.”—Youth’s Companion. 
A GOD-SEND TO ALL HUMANITY. 
Remarkable Invention of an Ohioan that Guarantees Perfect Health, Strength and Beauty to Every User, 
and Cures without Drugs All Nervous Diseases, Rheumatism, La Grippe, Neuralgia, 
Blood and Kidney Troubles, Weakness, and the Most Obstinate Diseases, by 
Nature’s Method of Steaming the Poisons Out of the System. 
Minister.s and Tho.se Who Have Used It Ddclare It to Be the Most Remarkable lavigorant Ever Produced,

half an egg; moisten the dumplings 
with a cupful of milk, and drop them 
over the sauce. Let them cook well, 
covered for 50 minutes, when they will 
be well puffed up and light. Pour the 
sauce around the chicken and make a 
circle of the dumplings. If the dump¬ 
lings are steamed over the cream sauce 
so they do not sink into it they will b** 
lighter. 
Potato Pancakes.—These are favorite# 
with our German friends. One egg, 
three cupfuls of grated potatoes, three 
tablespoonfuls of flour, three-quarters of 
a teaspoonful of salt, one scant cupful 
of sweet milk. Mix well and fry in » 
spider in one-half inch of fat. These 
cakes should be a rich bi’own. Serv<» 
with syrup. 
Apple Kisses.—Select six small, 
smooth apples. Pare, cut in half and re¬ 
move the core. Mix one-half a cupful of 
sugar with one-third cupful of butter. 
Place this mixture between the halves 
of the apples. Place in a baking dish 
with a little water and a teaspoonful of 
vanilla extract. Bake till apples are 
soft. Serve with their own juice for 
sauce. 
Crackling Dodgers.—Scald one pint of 
cornmeal with one scant pint of sweet 
milk in which has been dissolved one 
teaspoonful of salt. Add one cupful of 
cracklings, mix well, cover and let get 
nearly cold; then add two beaten eggs. 
Now wet the hands and pat the dough 
into little “dodgers.” Bake in a well- 
greased biscuit pan until a rich brown. 
Baked Spanish Onions.—This is a good 
supper dish at this season. Select three 
large-sized onions; peel and cut them up 
and down into slices about quarter of an 
inch thick; sprinkle each slice on both 
sides with a pinch of salt and pepper. 
Melt one ounce of butter in a baking dish 
and place in this the seasoned slices of 
onion. Bake half an hour. 
Cocoanut Snaps.—Grate and dry the 
cocoanut in the oven. Do not brown it. 
When dried use cupful of it. Cream 
one ounce of butter, one ounce of lard, 
a pinch of salt and one cupful of sugar 
together, then add the stiffly-beaten 
whites of two eggs. Next stir in two 
tablespoonfuls of the cocoanut milk, 
cupful of cocoanut, a teaspoonful of va¬ 
nilla and lastly eight ounces of sifted 
flour in which one teaspoonful of bak¬ 
ing powder has been mixed. Knead as 
little as possible and use additional flour 
to roll out with. Flour the board, roll 
out a small quantity at a time, roll very 
thin and cut with a round cutter. Place

A prominent business man of Cincinnati 
has invented a Vapor Bath Cabinet that 
lias proven a blessing to every man, woman 
and child who has used it, and as many of 
our readers may not know of its real com¬ 
fort and blessings, we illustrate It In this 
issue. 
Our recent investigation of this remark¬ 
able Invention was so very satisfactory 
we have no hesitancy in indorsing the same 
as just what all our readers need. 
It is an air-tight Inclosure, a rubber- 
walled room, in which one comfortably 
rests on a chair, and with only the head 
outside, enjoys at home, for 3 cents each, 
all the marvelous cleansing, curative and 
Invigorating effects of the famous Turkish, 
Hot Vapor, Hot Air or Medicated Vapor 
Bath, with no possibility of taking cold 
afterwards, or In any way weakening the 
system. 
Hundreds of well-known physicians have 
given up their practice to sell this Cabinet 
—such eminent men as Emerson McKay, 
Detroit, who has already sold over 700, and 
John C. Wright, Chicago, who sold 125 last 
month. 
Thousands of remarkable letters have 
been written the makers from users, some 
of which, referring to 
Uheumatism, La Grii)pe, Kidney Troubles, 
will be Interesting to those who suffer from 
these dread maladies. W. L. Brown, Ox¬ 
ford, O., writes: “My father was down In 
bed for months with rheumatism; this Cab¬ 
inet did him more good than $50 worth of 
drugs. It cured my brother of neuralgia 
and sleeplessness, with which he had long 
suffered, and his wife of la grippe in one 
night.’’ G. M. Lafferty, Covington, Ky., 
writes: “Was compelled to quit business a 
year ago, being prostrated with rheuma¬ 
tism and kidney troubles, when your Cabi¬ 
net came. Two weeks’ use cured me; I 
have never had a twinge since.” Rev. 
George H. Hudson, Okemos, Mich., says: 
“I gave up my pastorate on account of 
nervous prostration and lung troubles; my 
editor so highly recommended your Cabi¬ 
net, I tried it; from that day I have stead¬ 
ily grown better; am now well; nervousness 
gone; lungs strong; am a new man.” Mr. 
Simon Tompkins, a retired capitalist of 
Columbus, O., 1031 Broad St., says: “I am 
satisfied it saved my life. I was taken 
down with a hard cold, which developed 
into a dangerous case of pneumonia. The 
first Bath relieved me and I quickly re¬ 
covered. It Is far superior to drugs for 
curing la grippe, colds, Infiammatlon and 
rheumatism.” Hon. A. B. Strickland, of 
Bloomington, writes that the Cabinet did 
him more good than two years’ doctoring, 
entirely cured him of catarrh, gravel, kid¬ 
ney trouble and dropsy, with which he had 
long been afflicted. 
Hundreds of Ministers 
write, praising this Cabinet. Rev. H. C. 
Roernaes, Everett, Kan., says: “It is a 
blessing; made me full of life and vigor; 
should be in use in every family.” Rev. J. 
C. Richardson, N. Fifth St., Roxbury, 
Mass., was greatly benefited by Its use. 
and recommends it highly, as also does 
Prof. R. E. P. Kline, of Ottawa University, 
who says: “I find it a great benefit. No 
Christian should be without it.” Hon. V. 
C. Hay, St. Joe, Mo., writes: “Physicians 
gave me up to die; was persuaded by 
friends to try this Cabinet, and it cured 
me. I cannot praise it enough.” Rev. 
Baker Smith, D. D., Fairmont, N. .T., says: 
“Your Cabinet rids the body of aches and 
pain, and as cleanliness is next to godli¬ 
ness, it merits high recommendation.” 
Congressman John J. Lentz, Hon. Chaun- 
cey M. Depew, John T. Brown, Editor 
“Christian Guide”; Rev. C. M. Keith, Editor 
“Holiness Advocate,” as well as hundreds 
of clergymen, bankers, governors, physi¬ 
cians and influential people, recommend it 
highly. 
Physicians are unanimous in claiming 
that colds, la grippe, fevers, smallpox, con¬ 
sumption, kidney trouble, Bright’s disease, 
cancer—in fact, such 
Marvelous Klluiinatlve Power 
has this Cabinet that no disease can gain 
a foothold in your body if you take these 
hot Thermal Baths weekly. Scientific rea¬ 
sons are brought out in a very instructive 
little book issued by the makers. To 
Cure Blood and Skin Diseases 
this Cabinet has marvelous power. Dr. 
Shepard, of Brooklyn, states that he has 
never failed to draw out the deadly poison 
of snake bites, hydrophobia, blood poison, 
etc., by this Vapor Bath, proving that it 
is the most wonderful blood purifier known. 
If people, instead of filling their system 
with more poisons by taking drugs and 
nostrums, would get into a Vapor Bath 
Cabinet and steam out these poisons, and 
assist nature to act, they would have pure 
blood, and a skin as clear and smooth as 
the most fastidious could desire. 
The Important Feature 
of this Cabinet is that It gives a hot vapor 
bath that opens the millions of pores all 
over the body, stimulating the sweat 
glands, drawing out all the Impure salts, 
acids and effete matter, which, if retained, 
overwork the heart, kidneys, lungs, and 
cause disease, debility and sluggishness. 
Astonishing is the Improvement in health, 
feeling and complexion. The first bath 
makes you feel like a new being; 10 years 
younger. 
With the Cabinet, if desired, is a 
Head and Complexion Steamer 
in which the face, head and neck are given 
the same vapor treatment as the body, pro¬ 
ducing the most wonderful results; removes 
pimples, blackheads, skin eruptions, cures 
Catarrh, Asthma and Bronchitis. 
O. C. Smith, Mt. Healthy, O., writes: 
“Since using this Cabinet my Catarrh. 
Asthma and Hay Fever, with which I have 
been, afflicted since childhood, has never 
returned. Worth $1,000 to me. I have sold 
hundreds of these Cabinets. Every one 
was delighted. My wife finds it excellent 
for her ills.” 
Whatever 
WIU Hasten Perspiration 
every one knows Is beneficial, but other 
methods are crude and Insignificant, when 
compared to the convenient and marvelous 
curative power of this Cabinet, known as 
the new 1903 style 
Quaker Folding Thermai 
Bath Cabinet. We find It to be a genuine 
Cabinet, with a real door, opening wide, as 
shown In cut. When closed it is air-tight; 
handsomely made of best, most durable, 
water-proof goods, rubber lined. A heavy 
steel frame supports it, making It a strong 
and substantial bathroom within Itself. It 
has top curtains; in fact, all the latest Im¬ 
provements. 
The makers furnish an excellent stove 
with each Cabinet, also valuable recipes 
and formulas for medicated baths and ail¬ 
ments, as well as plain directions. It folds 
flat in 1 inch space, when not in use; 
easily carried; weighs but 10 pounds. 
People don’t need bathrooms, as this 
Cabinet may be used in any room, and bath 
tubs have been discarded since this inven¬ 
tion, as it gives a far better bath for all 
cleansing purposes than soap and water. 
For the sick room its advantages are at 
once apparent. There have been 
.So-Called Cabinets 
on the market, but they were unsatisfac¬ 
tory, inconvenient, simply cheap, flimsy 
affairs. 
After investigation we can say the 
Quaker Cabinet made by the Cincinnati 
firm is the only practical article of its 
kind, and will last for years. It seems to 
satisfy and delight every user, and the 
Makers Guarantee Results 
They assert positively, and their state¬ 
ments are backed by a vast amount of 
testimony from persons of Influence, that 
this Cabinet will cure nervous troubles. De¬ 
bility, Purify the Blood, Beautify the Skin 
and Cure Rheumatism. (They offer $50.00 
reward for a case not relieved.) Cures the 
most obstinate cases of Women’s Troubles, 
La Grippe, Sleeplessness, Neuralgia, Ma¬ 
laria, Headaches, Obesity, Gout, Sciatica, 
Eczema, Scrofula, Piles, Dropsy, Blood and 
Skin Diseases, Liver and Kidney Troubles. 
It will 
Cure the Worst Cold 
with one bath, breaks up all symptoms of 
La Grippe, Fevers, Pneumonia, Consump¬ 
tion, Asthma, and is really a household 
necessity. Gives the most 
Cleansing and Refreshing Bath 
known, and all those enjoying health 
should use it at least once or twice a 
week, for its great value is its marvelous 
power to draw out of the system all Im¬ 
purities that cause disease, and for this 
reason Is truly a Godsend to all humanity.
