DANDELlON SALAD.

For salad use, the common dandelion
blanchsd by growing through a depth
of sandy soil or under cover of earthen
pots is preferred by many to the choicest
crosses. Grown in this way and not al
lowed TO bloom, one may have successive
crops of leaves until frost comes, while
the leaves are white, crisp and tender
without the bitter tang that marks the
dandelion of the field. To serve as salad
wash thoroughly, shake dry and dress
with a French dressing or salt only.

In these words, the people of the town
or Shelburne enter their protest against
automoblists who run their cars through
the town at a rate above the speed limit
The selectmen have received MANY com
plants from the Shelburne townspeople,
who claim that it is a wonder that SER
ious accidents have not resulted from
this practice of the autoists.
A few minor accidents have already
been charged up to the drivers of the
cars. Last Sunday night a man who lives
near Hnesburgh was driving on the main
Shelburne road near the town. when am

limit. collided with his single team.

This is the second accident of tho kind
and tho townspeoplc are incensed of the
manner in which the autoists ignore the
rights Of the those driving teams and
endaneer lives for the sake of driving
their cars faster than the law allows.
II. n. Rowley of the selectmen stated
yesterday that the board was determined
in its effort to stop the rast driving. He
was asked If the town was likely to post
off part of tho main road, like
Mddlebury, prohibiting its use by
automobiles.

FRIJOLES FOR THE CAMP KETTLE
The frjole is a small red bean in great
favor with the Mexicans and American
residents in the Southwest. The red and
black beans found in Eastern markets
may be cooked in the same way. Soak
a pint Of the beans over night then put
on to boil in sailed water until tender.
While they are cooking, fry two good
sized onions sliced, in bacon fat, then
add half can of tomato. Take three or
four red Chill peppers that have been
cleaned and part OF the fiery veins re-
moved, put in water and cook few mo-
ments. then scrape the red jely-like
chilli from the tough skin and add with
the onions and tomatoes to the beans.
Cook several hours until very soft, stir
ring often to prevent burning.
GUMBO.
Gumbo is simply okra soup, gumbo be-
ing the name by which it is known in the
South. 1t is excellent cooked with a rich
broth. or with ham to season. but is still
better with chicken. Wash and cut off
the ends of young okra pods. Old stringy

HERBS FOR FINE COOKERY.
The secret OF many of the most savory
soups, stews and salads OF the French
is in the generous yet judicious use of
herb fiavorings. One OF the most preva-
lent herbs is garlic. This they employ
delcately, just the suspicion. no more

father of three beautiful daughters. is
reported to have secured all the har-
vest hands. he needed by the simple
expedlent of paying them two dollars
a day and permitting each man to kiss
each of his daughters once daily.
Those who did not want the kisses
could have three dollars day, but 1t
is pleasant to add that nobody drew
more than two dollars per diem. How
ever, says the Detroit Free Press, old
miles down the big road from Skip
worth, got all the harvest hands he
needed, also. Lafe has but one daugh-
ter; she is 40 years old, angular,
freckled and has an uncertainty in one
eye, besides that her nose is hesitant
and her chin Is shy. Lafe took the
overflow from Skipworths farm, and
after Turing the sturdy harvesters to
his field he would introduce his daugh-
ter and tell the affrighted laborers
that unless they pitched in and worked
their best he would let her kiss them.
Mr.. Plummer's fields were harvested
in half the time that was required for
Skipworth's.

TERRIBLE scALY ECZEMA.
Eruptions Appeared on Chest, and
Face and Neck Were All Broken
out-Cured by Cuticura.

~ had an eruption appear on my
chest and body and extend upwards

face we're all broken out; also my
arms and the lower limbs as far as
the knees. / at first thought 1t was
prickly heat. But soon scales or
crusts formed where the breaking out
was. Instead of going to a physician
purchased a complete treatment of the
Cuticura Remedies, in which l had
great faith, and all was satisfactory.
A year or two later the eruption ap-
peared again. only little lower; but
before it had time to spread l pro-
cured another supply of the Cuticura
Remedies. and continued their use un
til the cure was complete. 1t is now

Far Too Speedy for Speech.

The tremendous speed made in the
international automobile race over the
Ardennes circuit in Belgium is almost
beyond conception. To maintain an
average of nearly 10 miles an hour
through run of 81 miles, which was
the record of the winner, must have
meant speed neighboring on 100
miles an hour for much of the dis.
tance. Only in this way could time
lost on curves be made up. The race
makes very pat the story of Boston
millionaire who recently visited one
OF the young Vanderbilts at Newport,
says the Springfield (Mass) Repub-
lican. The visitor was taken for run
in big racing automobile. He stood
the experience until the speed rose to
upward of so miles an hour, when, in
terror, he tried to call to the driver
beside him to slow up. But instead of
being able to call he found. so runs
the story, that once he had opened his
mouth he could not shut it. so vio-
lent was the blast. Fortunately the
stretch permitting such speed was
short.

Great Nlaht for the Onion.

The onion has served as the basis
for many quips and filings at the hands
of the humorous paragraphers. And
yet 1t Is an extremely wholesome plant
and one of high rank with the ancients,
particularly the early Egyptians. For
these reasons it is pleasant to note
that the tabooed edible met with de-
served recognition at what was termed
an onion reception and banquet in an
interior New York town called Union,
which in this case might plausibly
seem a corruption of onion. 1t was ar
ranged, says the Cleveland Plain Deal
er, in honor of the sixteenth ami
versary of the special guests of the
evening and the onion was the center
and scenter of attraction. The house
was decorated with onion blossoms,
an onion center piece graced the table
and the bill of fare included onions
and onions only-top onions, sliced
onions, stewed onions, onion salad and
fried onions. Needless to say, the
guests. who departed at late hour
went away breathing many encom-
1ums of the fragrant bulb of honor.

Three Great conversationaI!sts.


The three greatest conversational
lists with whom it has been my good
fortune to come into touch were MAJ
zini, DR.. oliver Wendell Holmes and
Bismark.
OF these, DIR. Holmes was the most
spirited in the bel esprit sense;
Bismarck the most imposing and at
the same time the most entertaining
in point OF wit, sarcasm. anecdote and
narrative of historical interest,
brought out with rushing vivacity and
with lghtning-like illumination OF
conditions, facts and men.
In Mazzini words there breathed
such a warmth and depth of convic-
ton, such enthusiasm of faith in the
sacredness of the principles pro-
fessed and of the aims pursued by
him, that it was difficult to resist such
a power of fascination.-Carl Schurz,
in McClure's Magazine.

WHEN THE BED GOES ROUND
But Smith Was Tco Wise to Wait on
the Procession.

THAT was an amusing story about
the congressman who caught his bed
the fourth time it came around. 1t
reminded me- continued the narrator
"of the first time I heard the bed
phrase. 1t happened in Harrisburg,
where l was then stationed, and it
happened to a legislator whom shall
call Smith.
AT the first session Smith became
famous for his ability to comfortably
carry more liquor than any other man
in the legislature. At the opening of
the second session some Philadel-
phians got together and put up job
on Smith. They arranged relays, so
that when one party had enough an
other should take hold and thus keep
going until they had Smith down and
out. Well, they began with Smith
one evening, and after two relays had
succumbed their successors noted
with much satisfaction that Smith
was mixing his beverages-they
didn't know that was his custom, and
he fooled them ALL The bout con-
tinued all night and all of the next
day, and when the second evening
came Smith was the only man able
to get away unaided.
Several days later I asked Smith
how he got along after he reached his
hotel. When / got into my room,"
he replied. Il saw a procession of
beds coming in my direction. l
grabbed the first one, fell into it, and
woke up the next afternoon Pitts.

A1ask for American Women.

The editor of Harper's Bazaar. writ
ing of the choice which women of
fashion are compelled to make as
whether they will be wives or moth
ers, says that the absorption of Amer
lean men in business interests tends
to reduce the dignity of American ia
therhood to a level with the paternity
of the savage. The supreme mission
of the American wife is, therefore, to
provide for the higher education of
the American father To win man
from exclusive attention to the sordid
concerns of business, the dissipations
of pleasure-seeking, and apply him to
the infinitely profitable, infinitely en-.
joyable work of participating in the
care, the physical, mental, moral de-
velopment of his children, that is
cure which American women are
everywhere, under all circumstances,
able to apply to the root of the evil of
race suicide said to be seriously men
acing our nation. Let them be about
it,"

Fail to Select Food Nature Demands
to Ward Off Ailments.

Ky. lady, speaking about food,
says: Il was accustomed to eating
all kinds of ordinary food until, for
prostration set in.
After | had run down seriously my
attention was called to the necessity
of some change in my diet, and dis
continued my ordinary breakfast and
began using Grape-Nuts with a good
quantity of rich cream.
In few days my condition
changed in a remarkable way, and 1
began to have a strength that | had
never been possessed of before. a
vigor of body and poise of mind
that amazed me. 1t was entirely new
in my experience.
My former attacks of Indigestion
had been accompanied by heat flashes,
and many times my condition was dis
tressing. with blind spells of dizziness,
rush of blood to the head and neural
gic pains in the chest.
Since using Grape-Nuts alone for
breakfast have been free from these
troubles, except at times when | have
indulged in rich, greasy foods in
quantity, then l would be warned by
pain under the left shoulder blade,
and unless l needed the warning the
old trouble would come back, but
when l finally got to know where
these troubles originated I returned
to my Grape-Nuts and cream and the
pain and disturbance left very quickly
Il am now in prime health as re-
suit of my use of GrapeNuts." Name

Change of locality seems to be the
