The latest idea in presents to engaged

The latest idea in presents to engaged
girls Is certainly q very sensible one.
Instead of the inevitable teacup OF few
years ago the girl friends Of the newly
engaged present her with contributions
to her trousseau. Handmade lingerie
is most in demand. One lucky girl had
six exquisite corset covers given her,
each made by q clever and devoted
friend, and several nightgowns from
! the same source. This return to fine
sewing after so many years when girls
did only embroidery, is most encourag-
ing. It is no more work to make a
dainty chemise or corset cover than 1t IL
to embroider one of the useless tides 80
much In vogue not long ago. The hand
made underwear also offers great oppor-
tunity for individual ingenuity. The
only drawback to these charming ''crea-
tions" In the way they are apt to be de.
stroyed in washing. Perhaps We shall
see revival of our grandmothers' days
when the education Of each gentlewoman
included 'clear starching and fine iron
ing"

Old photograph plates make excellent
presses for flowers and leaves. The
edges of two plates may be fastened to-
gether with passepartout binding, and

1t is often difficult to think of hot
dishes suitable for young children or
very delicate adults who are restricted to
a light diet at night. As a change from
mushes and gruels try Panada. Break a
couple of stale rolls into a saucepan.
Pour in sufficient water to cover the
bread, let it boil for five minutes, stir

Bananas are fruit which is alternate
" lauded to the skies as being the most
nourishing of natural foods or condemn
ed as being the most starchy and indi-
gestible of vegetables. As usual, there
is much to be said GU both sides. The
natives of the tropics undeniably feed
mainly on the banana and grow fat and
sleek on this fare. On the other hand,
it must be remembered that these same
natives almost never eat meat, and also
prejudices against large abdomens. No
one who has ever lived or even travelled
in hot countries can ever forget the ap-
pearance of dusky humans provided
with "banana stomach! Here at the
north, where we eat great deal of
highly nourishing food, it is probably
true that many people cannot digest this
fruit. Let such try the banana cooked,
and as substitute for meat. Some of
these cold winter mornings give your
family baked or fried bananas instead of
eggs or chops. To bake the banana
treat it just as you would potato. Put

FR|G|D DAYS At
CITY HALL

There's going to be an awful up
roar around the city hall if the
heat is not turned on these cold
mornings. Clerks and officials
stand around and SILVER for a
couple of hours every morning
waiting for the sun to come out,
and then they all go to the CON-
missioners' room and thaw out at
the windows.
The basement is like a refrigera-
tor, while all floors are cold
enough. AS a result, work is at a
standstill for awhile. Workers
fingers get cold and stiff, while the
typewriter keys feel like pieces of
ice, and down in the cells city
prisoners SILVER till the bars
rattle. In the basement under the
police station there is large fur
mace and an engineer and janitor
draw pay from the city for running
it. The question is asked what
good is II these days?

QUIT CENTRAL
LABOR UNION

Transfers union No. POP has de-
cided to withdraw from the Cen
trail Labor union. The reason given
for this action Is that the teamsters
have not been accorded support
they feel entitled to in the central
unions refusal to endorse the
scale presented for truck drivers
and helpers. This scale called for
an eight-hour day or 1925 for day
of 10 hours. 1t was claimed that
the non-union truck firms of the
city were in some cases paying
more to their help than the union
firms were. What the Central
body is said to have objected to
was asking merchants and business
men to patronize union trucks
when in reality the conditions I'M
der which the union men were
working were no better and in
some cases not as good as those
enjoyed by non-union men.
Members of local unions express
regret at the transfers with
drawal, but claim that the firms
which have profited by the agita-
ton done by local unions and the
Central body on behalf of union
labor should be willing to offer
