Systemic catarrh claims many victims

treated.

SOME EXCELLENT SALADS.
Salad Makers-How They
Are Used.

Peppers make excellent salad ma
terial, choosing for this purpose those
which are fresh and tender Simply
shredded and mixed with lettuce or
cress. they may be used with any
dressing liked. Cucumbers may be
mixed with a pepper salad to advan-
tage. Sprinkle lightly with a French
dressing OF oil, vinegar, salt and pep
per. This is very good to serve with
fihs
More elaborate salads are served In
pepper cups. Remove the core and cut
to a desired shape; then fill with
mixture, which may be partly meat,
with cress, lettuce or celery: or it may
be string beans or potato in dice, with
seasoning of grated onion and chop
ped olives Any similar material is
best when sprinkled with French
dressing before filling Top the who.e
with nayonnaise, or serve a mayon-
naise separately to accompany.
Fruit salads are also prettily served
in green pepper cases. These fruit
salads, which are extremely popular
for the last two or three seasons, may
be made Of oranges, strawberries, cher
ries, bananas, or almost any fruit, in
fact. Tender tart apples are among the
best for the purpose. Whatever the
fruit, ii larger than a cherry, cut 1t in
neat, small sections. Nut meats are
very often used in combination. Gel
cry or lettuce is usually arranged upon
the individual plates as the basis. All
these salads call for mayonnaise
dressing, which is frequently mixed
with half It's bulk of whipped cream.
This light cream mayonnaise is most
appropriate with fruits. 1t is often col
ored a delicate tint of green with
spinach or harmless vegetable dye,
and makes a pretty effect as finish.
A golden-yellow mayonnatse may be
equally effective, but a color scheme of
some sort has one of the beEt Opportu.
mites in arranging salads. Easturtium
flowers are good adjunct, never out
of fashion. To please the eye is one
of the offices of the salad, and fortu-
nately with a dainty touch 1t comes

FAMOUS BELGIAN SCULPTOR
First of His Calling to Give to Labor
the Precious Baptism
of Art.

Just a year ago (April 4, 1905), there
died in Brussels, where he was born
and where he lived and labored nearly
all his days, one of the worlds great
est sculptOrs, writes Christian Brinton,
in "A Sculptor of the Laborer." in
Century. In his reticence and simple
ruggedness and sincerity, Constantin
Meunier recalls the master craftsmen
of other, sturdier times. He passed
away at IA, In the fullness of effort,
for he was one of those who mature
but slowly. With the exception of a
brief sojourn in Spain, he scarcely left
his native land. Il have never had
any adventures he once said; X
have only dreamed and worked"
Though modern in feeling, his art is
both Gothic and Greek, both restless
and serene 1t is, above everything,
an art that typifies the spirit of the
hour. All the fierce energy, the mate
rial progress and inventive genius of
to-day are reflected in Meunier's min
ers and foundrymen, his puddlers and
glassblOwers. He was the first sculp-
tor who saw plastic beauty in the
workman, the first to give labor the
precious baptism of art.

misunderstood DRUG LAW
Pharmacy Act Passed in the Trans
vaal Regarding Poisons in
Medicines.

Much misapprehension appears to-
exist among American patent medi-
cine manufacturers as to a new phar-
macy act in the Transvaal passed at
the last session of the colonial coun-
ell after heated debate. 1t does not
restrict the sale of any medicine con-
tanning poison, though the same must
be labeled Poison" and country store
keepers are not debarred from selling,
as hitherto.
Under an act passed a year ago all
medicines containing poison must be
so labeled. and every chemist has q
list of the poisons in his store, so that
if the medicine companies doing busi-
ness in the Transvaal do not publish
the formulas with each bottle sold
they are subject TO prosecution; in
truth. the chemist is not permitted to
let such medicines leave his store un-
der penalty.
If any of the following poisons are /
found to be contained in a formula the |
bottle must be labeled" poison" ALI
monds. essential oil (unless deprived
of prussic acid. belladonna and it's |

The purchaser must be known toI
the druggist or have one who Isl
known to certify for him; lie must
also sign his name and address. andl
the druggist must place his name and
place of business upon the label Thisl
law has absolutely rooted out the evil
existing at johannesburg. where China,
men could heretofore secure whatever
amount of opium they desired byI
merely applying. For, if any can signl
their names, and even then. unless
known to the chemist, they are un-
able to buy. However, it has not
stopped the smuggling of opium into
the compound. and II is stated that
the Chinese are still in that manner
able to procure the drug.

CLEAN YARD THOROUGHLY,
In the Spring Woman's Thoughts
Should Turn to Outside as Well
as Inside of House.

No housekeeper needs urging to be-
seems to be In the blood of all women
to want to tear things out" with the
first breath of warm weather. 1t is
very essential that the house should
be purified and cleaned, but there is
danger that in the devotion to the
bed and living rooms the most impor-
tant task of all may be forgotten. 1t
is hard work to clean in hot weather.
but better that than to neglect the
door yard till the last for it is here
that the first and best work should be
done.
A good housekeeDer was to move
With her family to a new home last
year and 1t happened that the farm
house had been occupied by a very
shtftless family. Don't you just
dread that house," friend asked her,
but she quickly replied: 'I can clean
the house, but the yard is filthy" The
clean family set to work to renovate
thiIigs and this is the way they dad It.;
The back yard was plowed just as deep
as possible and the garden planted to
the very kitchen porch. The Old soil,
redolent with filth, was combed by the
sharp rake of the accumulation OF
years, and whatever could be burned
was speedily turned into smoke and
ashes. Then the old cans and bottles
ana broken dishes were raked into
deep trench and the whole smoothed
over. The garden was wonderfully pro-
ductive that year and the next before
q fine sod was started. but the new
mistress said she usually ate the vege-
tables with a little shudder when she
recollected that back yard.
This may have been an extreme case,
but the tidy housewife is apt to hold
up her hands in horror when the snow
melts in spring and she sees the trash
in her own back yard. The dog will
drag bones about after butchering day,
the children will throw things out, and
even the lady herself tosses scraps Ou
of the kitchen door in a hurry instead
Of putting them into the slop pail. Al.
these things show up for'orn enou b
when the spring sun turns the snow
into water and they lie imbedded in
soft mud to fill the beholder with dis
gust. But when nature has done her
part by drying up the extra moisture
the trash may be rahed together and
burned in a short time. If there are
bones, bury them at the foot of your
favorite tree, and see that no old bot
tie or bit OF broken glass is left to cut
the little feet when 1t comes time to
run barefoot. Ii you have doubts
about the cleanliness of the sod, turn
it under and let nature renew and
clean 1t in her own effectual way. Bet

Potatoes and Cheese.

Cut some boiled potatoes into slices
and prepare a sauce of one cupful OF
milk thickened with one tablespoon
full of -four and with two tablespoon
fuls of butter added and MIX with one
cupful of grated cheese, a little
cayenne, two teaspoonfuls of mustard.
Line a dish with croutons, arrange
around them a close row Of the potato
slices, and cover with the sauce; re-
peat in alternate layers, covering the
whole with sauce; sprinkle lightly
with grated cheese and very brown
croutons, and bake in the oven for
about 20 minutes.
