PROPER SERVING MEANS MUCH.
Dishes Are More Palatabie When
Made Attractive.

A plain lettuce salad assumes a diff
ferent aspect when served in rudy
tomato cup or shining green pepper
cases, and rosy ring of tomato jelly
may enclose a plain celery or endive
salad. Salads can be decorated with
chopped green herbs, hard boiled
eggs, radishes, cut to represent little
tulips, olives and nasturtium leaves
and blossoms.
Potatoes can be most decorative.
Mashed potatoes are pressed in the
form of tiny pyramids with fiat tops.
These are dipped in the white OF an
egg, then in fine minced parsley, Civ
ing the effect of small green pyramids,
through which the white of the pota-
toes CLEANS temptingly. These may
be used with small pyramids cut from
stale bread and fried a delicate
brown in hot butter. They are ar
ranged about a dish alternately with
stars or cubes of lemon between.
Curries, ragouts or fricassees are
more ornamental if served in a border
of rice or mashed potatoes. These
are nodded in pretty fiuted forms and
decorated by brushing the rims and
raised points with the white of raw
egg, and then sprinkling with chopped
parsley. Small baskets about the size
of teacup are made of mashed pota-
toes to hold creamed chicken, fish or
oysters. The potato is forced in a
rotary motion through a pastry bag,
brushed over with egg white, and
placed in cool oven to dry. Handles
are emulated by sprigs of parsley
arched to meet above, and green rims
are given with chopped parsley.

HOMEMADE CATARRH CURE.
Sufferers Should Make This Up and
Try 1t Anyway.

Any one can mix right at home the
best remedy of it's kind known. The
name Cyclone" is given to the fol
lowing prescription, it is supposed, be-
cause of it's promptness in driving
from the blood and system every ves-
tige of catarrhal poison, relieving this
foul and dread disease, no matter
where located. To prepare the mix
ture: Get from any good pharmacy
one half-ounce Fluid Extract Dande-
lion, one ounce Compound Kargon and
three ounces Compound Syrup Sarsa-
parilla. Shake we'll and use in tea
spoonful doses after each meal and at
bedtime.
This is a harmless, inexpensive mix
ture, which has peculiar action upon
the eliminative tissues of the Kidneys,
assisting them to filter and strain
from the blood and system all ca
tarrhal poisons, which, IL not eradi-
Gated, are absorbed by the mucous
membrane, and an open sore or ca
tarrh is the result.
Prepare some and try it, as it is the
prescription of an eminent catarrh
specialist Of national reputation.

symptoms disappeared and he was
permanently cured by this great rem

FOR A SIMPLE MENU.
Best Dishes to Serve at Ordinary
Afternoon Affair.

When a menu is limited to three
articles, and it is for an afternoon af-
fair it should include one substantial
article, one sweet, and sandwiches. A
salad like green peppers scooped out
and filled with all kinds of vege-
tables cut up and dressed with may
onnaise is popular, and with this sar-
dine sandwiches. AS a sweet, fruit
Jelly with whipped cream.
A pretty idea for the jelly is to use
orange, apple, and banana skins and
serve the jelly in these, having the
dish when passed look like a dish of
fruit. Have the whipped cream sauce
passed with the. jelly.
If you do not wish the salad you
could have a hot dish, like scalloped
crab or LOBSTER served in individual
dishes; or you could have jellied
chicken sandwiches. The chicken is
pretty If made in individual molds, u.s.
ing hard boiled eggs in the molds so
that the slices of egg are on top
when the mold is turned out.
When entertaining eight guests in
the evening a good repast would be
bouillon or consomme served in cups;
creamed sweetbreads in little indi-
vidual dishes; salad, and jellied chick
en- or thin slices of ham; dessert,
ice cream or ices or rich chocolate
cake with chocolate sauce and whip
ped cream. If you have trouble in
procuring fish you can use canned
lobster with success.

and the benefits will be felt throughout
the city.
If the people of Richmond fail to re-

not to say their moral intelligence, 1t will
be construed generally as an evidence of
deficiency in both. which will be mortify-

An immense amount of work has been
done most cheerfulIy in the good cause,
and it will be distinct loss to the city
for the workers to fail in their worthy
object,
Over t.4oo subscriptions have been made,
and the amount secured is just little
over $4,000.
The proportion of subscriptions for
SIMS of 5000 and over has been unusually
small, considering the population and
wealth OF Richmond.
There are only two subscriptions of
$500 and only two for sums greater than
5000
1t is not too late to correct this omis-
sion. and to save to the fund the sub

Roosevelt to the Rescue.

President Roosevelt shakes his big stick
at oklahoma and warns the Constitutional
Convention that the railroads must have
square deal. No wonder the Presi-
dent is alarmed. He turned loose his
dogs of war and set them after the
railroads; now he finds It hard to call
them off. 1t has become so popular to
fight the railroads that If somebody does
not Gull a halt there will be danger OF
a wreck far more disastrous than any
which has yet occurred. Look at the
railroad earnings from week to week.
In most cases n considerable increase in
gross Is reported, but in almost every
in net earnings. With an advance in the
price OF all sorts Of materials and labor.
there must be a corresponding increase in
the cost of operation Yet there Is n
cry all the way from California to Nr-
snIa and from Florida to Canada for
lower rates. Some are arguing that
reduction In rates would not hurt the
railroads, but would really increase their
net revenues. If that were true, would
railroad managers have to be compelled
by law to reduce their tolls? The thing
Is absurd on its face. a reduction in
rates certainly means a reduction in net
revenue. and the people may we'll con-
slider how much more the railroads can
afford to lose without getting into flnan-
cial difficulties. 1t is very easy to con-
vert profit into a loss.
We may smash the railroads if we
like but when we do we will smash pros
perity. Regulate the railroads? Certainly
Prohibit rebates? Certainly. Make them
serve the public interest? Certainly. But
90 not destroy them or make the opera
ton of them so Improbable that nobody
will care to invest in their securities. We
must never forget that the railroads are
in themselves our most important and
most extensive industries. We can no
more afford to destroy or cripple them
than we can afford to destroy or cripple
the machine shops, the cotton mills or any
other Industry. 1t is time for the people
TO pause and consider.

The Dog Police of Europe.

A friend calls our attention to an
article in the October Century on the
employment of dogs by the police de-
partments of European cities. 1t is
an article worthy of careful study and
consideration by Southern communities.
The experiment was first tried in Client
in 1899. and then in Antwerp, Mons.
Bruges and Ostend. Later the German
Minister of the Interior sent a police
commissioner into Belgium to inves-
tigate for himself the merit of the dog
police. The report of tAts official as
10 its eficlency'an economy was so
striking that within three years $50
German corporations had also installed
dogs as auxiliary police. Now in
Austria, Hungary and Italy they are
extensively used.
The favorite dog for this work is
the big Belgian or French shepherd dog.
1t is said that they are unmatched the
world over for their endurance, bold
ness fidelity and intuitive instinct The
dogs are chosen when about six months
old and put into training at police
+ neadq uartcrS. Iney are taught TO re-
gard the policemen as their friends and
to be suspicious of every one else They
are well fed and cared for, but are
never taken out except at night. They
are inuzzled so that they can harm
no one, but they are ever on the alert
for criminals and all suspicious char
ncters, and are unerring in their scent.
The officer and the dog are comrades
and fast friends. They go on their
rounds together, and while the officer
stands guard tho dog goes into the
alleys and vacant lots and smells out
the dark corners II there Is bur-
g1ar or a sneak thief IN hiding, tho dog
is very apt to find him.
1t takes about four months TO train
dog TO be n good policeman, and the
longer he remains in the service the
better his work Wherever tried the
police dogs have served the double pur-
pose of economy and efficiency.
As already intimated, there are pecu-
liar reasons why dogs would be SER
ytceable TO the police departments OF
Southern cities and counties, and we
direct the attention of all such police
officials to the subject, 1t is certainly
worth investigating.
