HOW TO MAKE TEA. j
Tea la responsible for many Uls.
ipeclally among women. While it
.i the simplest matter to the world
j make tea properly, it is unhealth
ily prepared more often than oth
irwlse. Tea is absolutely unfit to
..ink when the brewing process has
.loceeded beyond a certain point
and tannin is liberated, but if care
is taken the evils of " moderate tea
drinking may be reduced to a mini
mum. The old rule .which calls for
a teaspoonful for each person and
one for the pot la unthinkable from
the standpoint oX the modem dieti
tian. Such a brew is ruinous to
skin, stomach and nervous syn.
To make- tea properly and as near

The beauties of three generations

milk one of the moat healthful foods.
Let me suggest a few luncheon
menus for our girls who want to
look wholesome and feel well. For
Instance, try a glass of sweet milk
or buttermilk with Boston brown
bread, between thinly cut slices, of
which cream cheese has been spread,
tf these sandwiches are made at

SAVED BY A PANTHER.
The Fleroe Brute Proved a Good Tem
perance Lecturer.
Governor Jennings of Indiana used
to tell u story of his eurly electioneer
ing days lu which he said that a
puutuer may be a good temperance
lecturer. Colonel W. M. Cock rum re
peats tbe story lu bis "I'loueer History
of Indiana." The iuckleut happened
when Governor Jennings was traveling
over the thinly settled hills of Dear
born county, electioneering for con
gress.
He met a mun with whom he was
well acquainted, by name Tom Ogles
by, who wus just getting over a pro
tracted debauch. Jennings began ask
ing Tom about bis political views.
The half sober fellow looked at blm
and said:
'Jen, don't you think a man just out
of a panther fight ought to be elec
tioneered In a different manner from
this? I am Just from the grave. I
was awakeued a little while ago by a
panther putting leaves and grass over
me. It kept this up until 1 wus entire
ly covered. 1 lay still for awhile and
then raised up nnd found the puntber
gone. 1 knew I was lu danger, so I
took my gun and climbed into a tree
to see what the panther Intended to do.
"In a short time 1 beard ber coming.
and she had her kittens with her. Ev
ery few steps she would jump as If
catehbig something, and the little oues
would go through the same maneu
vers. She kept this up until she got
near to '.be bed of leaves she hud cov
ered over me uud then made a spring
on the pile. She looked Just as 1 felt
when 1 found that I was covered up
for dead. She then started In to In
vestigate the cause of my disappear
ance, and before she located me 1 shot
her."
Jennings, after bearing this, Bald:
"Well, Tom. 1 believe 1 should treat
you as one from the dead and that you
should beglu your life' from this point
We were schoolboys together. I know
you are a cnpuble civil engineer and
well educated, and If you cease drink
ing I will see that you have a good po
sition on the surveying corps."
Tom Oclesbv did quit drinking. Jen
nings was elected aud kept bis prom'
lse to bis old friend, who became one
of the well known engineers of the
United States.
Some Generations Hence.
"Why ere the trees ell chopped ewayf
the little fellow eald.
"Why do the etreami go dry while sun-

Each had en ax to grind and was a cut-
