NEW ONE TO TlLLlE.
Scandinavian Cook Had Her Own
Troubles With the Eggplant.

Mrs. Lane, engaged with her daily
shopping, could not resist purchasing
the beautiful purple eggplant that
showed up so alluringly against back
ground of snowy cauliflower, so she
told the grocer to send it up. Mrs. Lane
had other things than housekeeping
on her mind that day. Besides, Tillie,
the Scandinavian cook, was rapidly be-
coming so competent that her young
mistress was growing little lax. BY
the time Mrs. Lane reached home the
eggplant had vanished from her mind.
The following morning the eggplant,
its purple exterior polished to mirror
like luster, appeared whole and un-
cooked on the Lanes breakfast table.
20, Tillie," cried Mrs. Lane, carrying
the vegetable, still intact, to the kitch-
en- after breakfast was over, 81 want
this for dinner tonight. See, you must
slice It so, and soak the pieces in
salted water"
"skall l peel heem?" asked inter
ested Tillie, whose English was so re-
stricted that 1t was impossible to pro-
vide her with advance instructions.
Yes, cut the rind off this way and
let the pieces soak all the morning"
There was company for luncheon
that noon. All went well until Mrs.
Lane rang for Tillie, and requested
her to bring the dessert.
A moment later Tillie reappeared,
placed a glass dish containing a num-
Der of odd greenish white disks on the
table and disappeared
"Why," exclaimed surprised Mrs.
Lane, its that eggplant again! She
has fished the slices out of the brine
and served them raw, like cucum.

After luncheon Mrs. Lane returned
the egg plant to the kitchen.
1T must be cooked" she explained
patiently.
"Yaw, cuke heem," said willing
Tillie, SELLING the vegetable.
mo, no. Let it soak until six. Then
I'll show you how to fix It,"
Visitors detained Mrs. Lane that
afternoon, however, and It was five
minutes after six when she went to the
kitchen TO fry the eggplant. She was
| just in time to rescue the victim OF
Titles misdirected zeal from certain
destruction. Tillie had 1t boiling
briskly on the stove.
Goodness mel" exclaimed Mrs.
Lane, hastily removing the eggplant
TO safety. The only way to cook this
vegetable is to roll the slices in egg
and bread crumbs and then fry them"
Well" said Tillie, good naturedly,
Il tank he yer fonniest apple my ever
hov saw; but on America she's hov

She fixed an expensive picture hat

A Want Ad and a Moral.

In business house, do not attempt to
dictate terms and the manner of your
occupation. The man who is ION the
Job, no matter how humble his status,
gets the coveted chance Here's an ex-
ample of this spirit, in a Want ad that
appeared in newspaper day after day
without getting a single reply:

Leon ShouId BEGIN Preparations.

Realizing the great good done the en-
tlre State through the holding of former
fairs ct Tampa, many counties that have
hitherto not been represented in the va
riOus departments Of exhibition have
made liberal appropriations and APP
pointed energetic fair commissioners
Fith a view Of having a magnificent
general exhibit at. the greatest of all
Che Florida State Fairs, which will be
held at Tampa from February to %.
In addition, practically every county
represented at the fairs in former
years are falling in line, and the num-
Der Of counties represented at the COM
ing fair will be at least one-third more
than have appeared heretofore. The
holding of the fair in February-the
height of the tourist season-not only
appeals TO counties and producers gem
orally, but the fact that nothing can
prevent the fair from being grand and
Unqualified success, has also brought
about great deal of enthusiasm The
fairs held in November in former years
have been superior to any State Fairs
held In the South, but that of February
viii eclipse these in every department.
No county in Florida can afford to be
without representation at the fair, and
the same is the case with individual
producers.

You can't be we'll if you have weak
unhealthy, tired out stomach. Neither
can you feel good if by some little ir-
regularity in eating you have caused
the stomach to get out of order. These
little stomach troubles are signs of in
digestion, which may, and very often
does turn iRto a very bad case Of dys-
pepsia. Don't allow this to go on a
single day without doing something to
overcome it. Take some good reliable
and safe digestant like KODOL for
Dyspepsia. KODOL is the best remedy
known today for heart burn, belching
and all troubles arising from a disor-
dered digestion. 1t is pleasant to take

John G. Collins, Esq, Tallahassee,
Florida:
NV dear Sir: In your last issue you
honor my name by mentioning it in con-
nection with the coming campaign for
the governorshIp.
I am grateful for the honor conveyed,
but wish to say that should / enter the
campaign next year it will be for the
senatorship. There are several reasons
for this. feel that would prefer to
be in Washington where my association
with old comrades of the Federal navy,
and others would enable me TO be of
some service to our beloved State. A
close student Of former government |
have in mind many things would de-
sire to be urged upon the country, to
bring the United States to her ancient
mornings. In the grand battle for
which the parties are now lining up
wherein the very anatomy of the SOW
ereign States areattacked by Mr., kOose-
velt's insidious policy about state con-
troll of the power of taxing railroads,
etc., desire to see the states triumph,
and our Northern sisters have shown
great weakness and timidity on this
question, especially the great State Of
New York.
Until the atmosphere is further
cleared cannot get my own consent to
enter the race, but it is possible that !
may shy my castor into the ring. If
do will be heard from the stump in
every county in the State, for as you
know am a fighter from fightersville
