hours. At the beginning of the last two hours add a
large head of cabbage, cut in two. An hour later add

MRS. C. E. HUBBARD.
BOILING VEGETABLES.
In boiling beef and vegetables, put a tea cup of
vinegar into the pot when the v/ater is cold, and the
beef will be much tenderer, and cabbage and beets
better flavored and will not fill the house with unplea-
sant smell. The vinegar will not affect the taste of
food. Rule: — All vegetables to go into fast boiling
water, to be quickly brought to the boiling point again,
not left to steep in the hot w^ater before boiling, which
toughens them and destroys color and flavor.

You know Forbes & Wallace's store in Springfield!
You know you can get almost everything there! You
know that prices are generally lower there than
elsewhere for the same articles! Do you also know
that they take anything back which you bu}^ of them
and do not find satisfactory? Do you know that they
advertise: —
"Your money back, if when 3'on get home 3^ou'd
rather have it than what you got for it"?
