A corset has just been invented with

waist line, where hollow is generally
seen In the average figure. The corset
is provided with little straps, and the
hustle Is attached to 1t by means Of
four fasteners. The two lower fas-
teners are so arranged that they cause
the hustle to add to the fullness of
the hips. and st the same time they
remedy the faults of the back. The
corset is not unlike the other corse;s.

advantage OF this corset hustle Is tina;

POINTS ON FOOD.

There Is an unholy attraction about
phenomenal,y large specimens of veg
etables that should be strictly avoided
by the sensible housewife. Abnormal
growths. though they look very we'll
at show, are not so we'll on the table.
Much of the flavor is lost In the size,
and the vegetable, whatever 1t may be.
has a tendency to be rough and coarse
in texture. Vegetables and fruits that
have attained medium size are far
more likely to be satisfactory In the
eating. and they are also more econom-
ical to purchase and to use.
Young housewives are often puzzled
that their pies have knack Of sink
ing down in the middle. while those
turned out by more experienced hands
are dome-shaped and slightly. The ex-
PLANTATION Ia that the latter have an In
verted cup placed in the middle be-
fore the fruit and crust Is added. This
cup prevents the fruit Juice from boil
ing over and also keeps the pie crust
from falling in. The juice Is. by the
time the pie Is served. almost all col
lected beneath the cup. which must be

sirup is obtained.
There Is NO doubt that stewed fruit
is a most wholesome addition to or
binary diet. There are. however. many
persons who cannot eat 1t. either on
account of the acidity Of the fruit or OF
the large quantity of sugar required to
make It palatable. It should be re-
membered that sugar does not counter
act the acidity OF the fruit. 1t simply
disguises 1t, and IL much Of 1t is used
1t is apt to interfere with the digestive
organs. Before cooking the fruit,
sprinkle over it small pinch Of car
Donate of soda; this renders the dish
more wholesome and certainly more
tasty.
As much injury to health may result
from the eating of poisonous fungi un-
der the guise of mushrooms. 1t is al
ways safest to subject these (so-called)
to some approved test. The simplest
is to sprinkle salt upon the spongy
part Of the fungus and allow this to re-
main undisturbed for some minutes.

Here IL a story told without saying
whether it is fact or fiction: Hawkins
was an eccentric old man. and in his
will 1t was found that he had made his
youngest son, Henry. his sole heir, on
condition that he should marry within
two years. 1t was surprise to the
community. as Henry was worthless
fellow and rarely on friendly terms
with his father. Henry at once be-
came the topic of conversation. Ev-
erybody was wondering what mystery
would develop from such an odd be-
ginning, and there were dozens OF
stories afioat to the effect that Haw-
kips was a miser and had left bundles
OF money hidden in odd corners OF his
rickety old shanty that had become
the sole property OF his son. Henry's
name soon drifted into the papers all
over the country. AS a result. bush
els of letters from marriageable wom-
en- and wild-visioned girls came to him
in the form Of proposals. On the last
day Of the allotted two years Henry
Hawkins and Belinda Scones stood in
the registry ONCE. where Il was ar
ranged the ceremony should be per-
formed quietly. IF 1 could only feel

Soldiers.
These war times have tried mems
souls in many unexpected ways, but
like q shaft of sunshine and good cheer
out of the cloud OF privation and en-
durance has been the work that Tho
American Tobacco Co. has done among
the U. s. Soldiers and Sailors ever since
the war began-for when they discov-
cred that the camps and hospitals were
not supplied with tobacco they decided
to provide them, free OF cost, with
enough for every man, and have al
ready given outright to our Soldiers
and Sailors over one hundred thousand
pounds OF Battle AK Plug" and
Dukes Mixture" Smoking Tobacco.
and have bought and distributed nifty
thousand briar wood pipes. at total
cost OF between fifty and sixty thou
sand dollars.
This work has been done quietly and
thoroughly. by establishing headquar-
ters in each camp. so that every camp
and every hospital of the United States
Army has been supplied with enough
tobacco for every man and the sailors
on thirty United States Ships in Cuban
waters have shared with the soldiers
this most welcome of all "rations."
Perhaps 1t will be only fair to re-
member when we hear the remark
again that Corporations have no
SOULS. that there is one American cor
poration whose soul has been tried and
has not been found wanting in "prac-
tical Kindness"
