    Tomato Sauce. Gather your tomatoes when fully ripe, wash them, and mash then in some suitable vessel. Then place them in a kettle over a moderate fire, and when just warmed through, press a cullender down upon them, then dipping from the cullender all the watery juice possible. After boiling a short time, strain the mass through a wire sieve, just fine enough to retain the rind of the fruit; then return it to the kettle and boil it down to the desired consistency, some prefer it thin, as it retains more of the flavor, taking all care that it does not become scorched in the process. Heat the bottles you intend to use in a steamer to a boiling heat, and while they retain this heat, fill them with sauce in a boiling state. Then cork them immediately with good corks, and place them where they will cool slowly. Tomatoes thus prepared will keep good, and retain all their original freshness and flavor, until their season comes again. Pickles. An excell ent way to make pickles that will keep a year or more is—drop them into boiling water, but not boil them. Let them stay ten minutes, wipe them dry, and drop them into cold spiced vinegar, and they will not need to be put in salt and water. From B. N. Cooper, Chemist, 40, Chester gate, Stockport, “I consider ‘Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup’ the finest thing in the world for young children. Having tried it for my own family very many times, and always found it to answer, even after the family doctor has failed, I consider myself competent to form an opinion. I always recommend it to my customers, and hear the same good account of it from each.” Preserved Tomatoes. Scald the tomatoes, take off the skins. Weigh the tomatoes, which must be full grown and ripe. Allow to every two pounds two pounds of the best brown sugar, a large spoonful of ground ginger, and the juice and grated rind of one large lemon. Mix the tomatoes and sugar and the white of one egg together, and put in a porcelain kettle. Boil slowly till the scum ceases to appear; then add gradually the juice and grated rind of the lemons, and boil slowly for an hour or more. The tomatoes must all have burst by this time. When done, take them off, and when cool, put them in jars. Pickled Onions. Put over the fire with cold salt and water brought to a scald, put away to cool, when cool, remove the peels; cover with cold vinegar. Boil the spices in vinegar and add. Sore Throat, Cough, Cold, And similar troubles, if suffered to progress, result in serious Pulmonary, Bronchial, and Asthmatic affections, oftentimes incurable.—“ Brown’s Bronchial Troches ” reach directly the seat of the disease, and give almost instant relief. The “ Troches ” have been thoroughly tested, and maintain the good reputa¬ tion they have justly acquired.
