Recipes.

GEN. HARRISON's SALAD DREssING.-An
Indiana lady, says the ST. Louis Globe
Democrat, is the proud possessor of
General Harrison s recipe for salad dress
ing, and here it is, just as he wrote it out
at her request. "For each person use
four teaspoonfuls OF salad oil, one and
one-half of vinegar, salt-spoon of salt,
one of black pepper, two of dry mustard,
and a pinch of red pepper. The dry
materials mix first, then put in the oil,
and last the vinegar. Add a shred of
garlic and a pinch of celery SALT
1t is said the General, usually eats what
is set before him in a spirit of general
thankfulness but when it comes to salads
he is a cOnnOisseur.
PoTATo SALAD AND SALMON SALAD
Potato salad and salmon salad are both
very nice used with the above dressing.
For the latter, use a can of salmon with
the bones all picked out, half ola head of
small cabbage, and few celery stalks,
If obtainable. The remains of any kind
of fish, chopped fine, will make a good
fish salad if a nice dressing is made for it.

What is sweeter than roses
That bloom in the beauty of June?
Or the stately and fragrant lilies
Whose bells ring summer tune?
Ah sweeter the roses blowing
On the cheeks of those elove,
And the lily of health that's glowing
The cheeks red rose above.
But how soon the lily and the rose
wither in the faces of our American wo-
men. Why is it? Simply because so
many of them are victims of weakness,
Irregularities and functional derange-
