Ground sharks brought up from no

The fauna OF the deep sea are modi-

the law Of the survival of the fittest.
In the battle for existence their

An Italian way to give the touch of
garlic to the salad is to rub piece OF
bread with it and put it in the salad
dish, where it lends its flavor through
the dish as the salad is tossed.
Spinach that is left from dinner may
be at once mixed with French dress
ing, packed in small cups or molds or
in bowl and put away. Next day turn
it out on bed of lettuce, add more
French dressing and it is ready for the
table.
An invigorating tonic bath is pre-
pared by soaking several slices OF lemon
or lines in the bath water for an hour,
then adding handful of bran. Bath
bags of oatmeal and orris, or OF shaved
soap end almond flour, are also pleas
ant additions to the bath.
For curried eggs, fry two thinly
sliced onions in two tablespoonfuls OF
butter until golden brown, add one
teaspoonful of curry powder, cook an
other minute, then stir in one pint OF
