In the Interest of Farmers.

Farmers everywhere in the West and
Northwest are becoming interested in
the cheap farm lands of Virginia where
the soil is good; the climate is free
from the extremes of heat and cold,
and where the best markets of America
are within easy reach.
The Farm News, of Springfield, o.,
has planned a half-rate land seekers
excursion to Virginia to leave Cincin-
natl : p N. April 2. They will be re-
ceived by the governor of Virginia and
commissioner of agriculture. the latter
conducting them through the state.
At every stopping place committees
have been appointed to take them in
hand with view of showing them ev-
cry phase of agricultural life in Vir-
ginia. No other trip under such favor
able auspices can possibly be made.
Special low rates have been made at
at all hotels.

USES OF TARRAGON.
1t Adds to Almost Any Salad and Max,
Delicious Sauces.

1t Adds to Almost Any Salad and Makes
Delicious Sauces.
Few hOusekeeperS who note the little
punches of tarragon shown with cher
vii, parsley and other seasoning herbs
know the possibilities of what the
American girl abroad called 1.-The de-
licious little bits of French grass"
which she found in the Partisan salads
A teaspoonful of minced tarragon
may properly be added to almost any
salad, dressed with oil and vinegar. Il
is excellent in a plain lettuce salad
and imparts finishing touch to all
salads dressed in mayonnaise.
Tarragon vinegar may be substituted
for the fresh herb in salads, In sauce
this is not possible, and the fresh herb
must be used
Tarragon sauce is appropriately
served with delicate meats, like spring
lamb and chicken. A brace of chops
of spring lamb makes an especially de-
licious breakfast-dish when served with
tarragon sauce.
Trim the chops carefully, dip them
in little beaten egg and then in fine
bread crumb, and broil or fry them un-
til delicate brown. Meantime have
ready tarragon sauce, made as fol-
lows:
Melt teaspoonful of butter in a
spider with a tablespoonful of flour.
Add cup and half of strong, jellied
veal stock, and when the whole is thor
oughly melted and mixed, add spray
of soup celery, bay leaf, sprig Of
thyme, two sprays of parsley and a
couple of mushrooms if convenient.
Let this sauce simmer slowly at the
back of the fire for twenty minutes
Add another half-cup of white stock
and three sprays of tarragon, and let it
cook ten minutes longer. Sprinkle in
half teaspoonful of tarragon leaves
and pour the sauce around the chops.
For chicken saute with tarragon.
about pound and half in fresh but
ter. Melt u cup of rich, brown sauce
in saucepan. Add three mushrooms
and glass of sherry, with heaping
teaspo onful of tarragon leaves
Let the fried chicken simmer in this
sauce for twenty-five minutes. Then
pour it out on platter, decorating it
with six slender fingers of brown toast.
An omelet a la tarragon is another
delicious dish that may be made from
portion of the same ten-cent bunch
of tarragon.
Mince the leaves from three or four
sprays of tarragon. Break six eggs,
season them with salt and pepper, beat
them for moment, and add half cup
of cream or rich milk Fry this omelet
lightly and roll it in golden brown
roll, and serve it on hot platter with
cream sauce poured around tn. Y

WRG.NlA'S BEAUTY RULES.
Recipes Found In the Note Book OF an Old.
Time Southern Belle.


Time Southern Belle.
These rules and recipes are taken
from an old book found in Virginia
homestead. They were in use among
the beauties of the south in the days
when all women were handsome, and
grace of figure was as common as beauty
in q rose.
To Get Thin-Eat a great deal of
chopped meat without any potato in it.
Drink little fluid of any kind except
strong tea. Exercise a great deal
without drinking, and do not eat bread
and butter Or candy. Lemonade, acid
drinks of all kinds. and saline mineral
waters are excellent. Drink glass of
clear water before breakfast.
To get fat: Eat vegetables and sleep
after each meal. Go to bed at nine
o'clock and lie in bed half an hour
after you wake up. Laugh great
deal. Drink water by the pint or the
quart if you can. Drink weak and
sweet tea, with plenty of milk in it.
Take cod liver oil and sweet oil as
much as you can. Eat until you feel
as if you would burst at the table
Put plenty of butter on your bread
and do not be afraid of ales, layers,
and sweet wines. This will guaran-
tee a gain of five pounds month,
and, if you can sleep great deal, of
double that amount.
To have a white skin: Eat no
meat at all Become vegetarian; they
always have beautiful skin. Once in
c InanlyS mail Of
meat. This does away with the ten
dency to scurvy-that curse ofthe vege-
tartan. Drink as much water as you
can, eat little grease, and touch no
tea or coffee. Your breakfast may
be oatmeal and oranges; your
dinner, fruit, nuts, fruit tea-prefer-
ably ounce tea-graham mullins,
caulihower, croquettes, marmalade,
and dishes of stewed vegetables. The
diet is not so bad when you get used to
it. In large towns you will find one
or two restaurants catering to such as
you.
To become very muscular: Walk a
great deal, carrying always somethin &
in the hands. This develops the arms.
To roll hoop might be good if one
were brave enough to do SO in public.
Practice lifting a little every day.
Never strain or tire yourself. Eat
meat, drink milk, and practice bend
ing backwards, forwards and sideways
every day, At night rub about a
tablespoon of brandy or rum into your
skin on the under and tender part of
the arms.
To keep ones feet smali-This is diff
ticult. The first sign that one has
passed youth is the tendency to wear
a larger pair of shoes-and this is nee.
essary. The feet spread and really
grow. To remedy this wear shoes as
long as can be managed but not as
wide as seem necessary. Never wear
old slippers around the house unless
they are snug in the width, and be
careful of corns. These are never nee
essary while the chiropodist exists.
Then there follow dozen other
recipes for being pretty, sweet and at
tractive generally, and the old book.
whose wording has been here modified
and modernized considerably, winds up
by telling the young ladies of Virginia
that they deserve no special credit for
following out these hints and sugges-
tions, as they are absolutely necessary

Herschfeld left his young wife two
months after they returned from Chi

he instituted suit to have the marriage
declared void, alleging he was entrap-

the young wife. Meantime she had

damages.

OIL NF'

A special rec night from
Salem, W. Va, dt the we'll be-
ing drilled on the 1arm in the CEN
ter point field hat struck the sand
Monday afternoon and was flowing at
the rate of about 150 or 200 barrels a
day. This is a very important strike
and is probably the largest well ever
struck in that field. The report said
that oil men from all over the country
are hocking into the town and are
looking for leases. Most of the land
has been taken, and what is not al
ready under lease is commanding high
prices.
The latest information from the in
side in regard to the big strike by tha
Carter Oil Company on SanchO, about
four miles from MiddlebOurne, is that
the well is still holding up her pro-
auction and, if anything increasing it.
Everybody about Sistersville and
MiddlebOurne and in fact everywhere,
that there is an oil man or persons in
tereSted in the Shiny fluid, are talking
about the SanchO well. Prominent oil
men are of the opinion that this well
opens up an entirely new pool and
that it Will rival, in production, Sis
tersyille in its palmiest days. The
new field. if such it is, will be a very
expensive one to drill in from the fact
that an the water used will have to be
pumped from the Ohio river at a point
near Sistersville. which is y or Il
miles from the we'll just drilled in.
+Tho runs from the Sistersville field
