Miss johnson was an excellent
teacher, but her taste in dress, es-
pecially headdress, was SO peculiar
that even her adoring pupils could
not fail to notice it. The verdure
which appeared upon Miss john
sons hat one season was so gaudy
that several wondering comments
were made by the boys.
'I'm going to ask her what that
green stuff is" said one boy valiant
ly in spite of the vigorous objections
Of his companions. "She won't
mind, and next nature study class
I'm going to ask her and see who's
right"
So, red in the face, but stubborn,
he rose at the end of a lesson on
wayside flowers in response to Miss
Johnson's general request for any
questions which might have come
up since the last lesson.
"I'd like to know about that green
stuff on your hat" he said bluntly.
"John AIKEN, he says it's beach
grass, but / say it's onion sprouts"

wash my hands. 1t was a cold night,
and my lovely white hands, robbed
of their paint, were blue. The mix
ture was well off when the call boy
shouted my name. Thinking he
was having joke, | said 'All right.
I'm here,
"But Mr.. Irving is waiting for
you.'
Waiting for me? Why, the act

A carcass OF beef is cut ia nine
teen pieces. All the pieces and the
names are in the dictionary. Look
ai the list. and you viii find the
names "tenderloin" and porter
house" two names that the inex-
perienced buyer has always on his
lips. The porter house is a delu-
sion and a snare in ninety-nine
cases out Of a hundred. The ten
derloin is the thick part of the sir
loin after few round bone steaks
have been cut of and is called the
filet deboeuf. It makes choice
piece for roasting, but If not sold in
. lump Is cut into sirloin steaks Of
three grades. The first and second
grades are technically hip sirloin
steak" and fiat bone sirloin steak. |"
These are the tenderloin steaks that
the young housewife pays extra for.
There are not over six of each kind
in one carcass. so the chances are
that she pays her good money for q
third cut. or round bone" sirloin,
which is itself a capital steak. Por.
terhouse steaks are cut from the
small end sirlion steak, and one
carcass contains but a few of them :
Ingenious butchers understand the
knack OF cutting the small end sir
loin so as to include other portions
of tha beef, thus enabling them to
sell both at porter house prices.
Good beef has juicy or sappy ap-
pearance, with fine, smooth grain.

cherry red. When meat rises quick
ly after being pressed. it may be
considered prime. When the dent
made by pressing rises slowly, or
not at all, depend upon it the beef
is poor.

commons advice as to the best
means of avoiding the disease.
The simplicity Of bis receipt is one

consists OF nothing more than the
persistent avoidance OF the hasty
meal. Boiling ones food is the
homely but accurate description of
the saperinducing cause of this dis
ease.

Of the most ordinary common sense
in the matter of leisurely eating and
the proper amount of time for diges-
ton that our safety lies from these
dreaded attacks. Since the terrorit
self is so ominous and omnipresent,
this simple rule Of health from so

toward relieving US of our appre-

House and home are. not always
synonymous. The most carefully
appointed house, orderly to the last
degree and immaculate as wax, Is
frequently anything but homelike.
There is no place for children TO

The young people mustgoelsewhere

has to sit in the kitchen to smoke,
for tobacco gets in the curtains.
There are tides and soft head rests
on all the chairs, but one must not
lean against them; pretty sofa cush-
ions on the couch, but they must
not be "mussed;" dainty table linen
and bright silver on the sideboard, =,
but it must be ready for company;
pretty dishes in the closet. but not
for every day. Happy the woman

No More Stomach Troubles

All stomach trouble is removed by
use of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. It
gives the stomach perfect rest by
digesting what you eat without the
stomach's aid. The food builds up

ach to health. You don't have to
diet yourself when taking Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure. j. ID. Erskine, of

loose at the joints. The outside and top
edges OF the box can be painted a light,
pleasing shade, and two or three coats
will be sufficient to give it a good ap-
pearance. The inside should be coated
with black asphaltum varnish, that
forms a waterproof coating, and if
moisture should come in contact with
the wood it will not be as liable to warp
as If ordinary thin paint was applied.
The design on the front of the box
is to be outlined with ~oyal-headed brass

three-eighths of an inch in diameter.
When tho last coat OF paint is thor
