A friend recommends the following
for neuralgia: Wash lemon and cut
it in halves. Place these in bowl
and cover with boiling coffe. Drink
some of this prepared coffee at inter-
Walt during the day. 1t Is necessary
either to make it fresh each time, or to
re-heat it, as 1t must be taken very
hot.
Since pie is now fashionable again,
how to eat it once more becomes a
matter for consideration. Because
ULYSSES S. Grant once hastily bit a
piece of pie, being startled into such a
breach of etiquette by the unexpected
approach of the enemy and used Meth
err knife nor fork in handling it, there
was for a season sort of fad for eat
ing pie "a la Grant" But that fash
ion passed and the opinion prevails
generally that pie must be eaten only
with the fork. This in the South even
where housewives and cooks usually
have very inadequate conceution OF
the amount of shortening required IN
making pastry for pies. A Northern
berry pie and Southern berry pie are
two very different things. The North
ern pie consists of rather thin layer
of fruit between two thick crusts Of
pastry. There is no juice about 1t and
a mere touch of the fork is enough to
cut it. But the Southern berry pie
has a rather thin crust; Is not easily
cut with q fork and overhows with
Juice. Did you ever eat any OF Aunt
Dicie's? All, it is very excellent--bet-
ter than the northern kind ] think.
