FOR A DAINTY SANDWICH.
Right Kind Of Bread and Proper Knife
Are Essential.

The reason so many persons think
dainty sandwiches are a nuisance to
make is that they have neither the
knives to cut it with.
When making sandwiches in quanti-
ties 1t is much better to have a long
square loaf with a perfectly even.
smooth crust. The grain should also be
close. as the porous bread is more apt
to break.
Such shape permits the slice to be
cut diagonally to make two triangles or
it can be divided into three strips for
oblong sandwiches.
Some people cut off the crusts be-
fore slicing the bread. but unless it is
a day old it is more apt to break than
II the crusts are not removed until
the sandwich has been made.
A long, thin knife blade kept very
sharp is essential If the edges of the
sandwich are to look clean cut. When
shaped cutters in the form of circles.
stars or crescents are used, they
should never be allowed to get dull.
Always butter the bread before cut
ting it from the loaf. Have butter
fresh and slightly soft so it spreads
quickly. Do not use too much of it,
but always put it on both slices OF
bread.
Fit slices evenly together. II the
square loaf is used this is an easy mat
ter: with an irregular loaf care is
needed to put opposite sides together
or there will be waste in shaping.
Should the sandwiches not be needed
for several hours after making, wrap
them in a damp towel and put them in
an alright box.
Whatever the filling, do not stint 1t
and use plenty of seasoning. as taste
less sandwich is far from appetizing.

friendly. He relates how he was done
up by the former agent. Then the
traveller turns loose his walls of wrath.
He accuses the concern represented
by the first agent as a robbing outfit.
and one that should be put out OF
business. He gets an order. but the
farmer does not understand that the
goods come from the same concern that
the other agent represented. That
only different name was used, and
the farmer is on their regular list of
suckers" The only safe way for
the consumer to do is to patronize
home concerns. His home merchants
are interested in being fair and square.
They know that they must deal hon
estly or they will lose customers.
Their percentage of profit is far less
than that made by the box-car con-
Germ. Then. again. the principle OF
sending money from the neighborhood
where it is earned is all wrong. 1t Is
against the interests of the consumers
of every class and kind. A lively
home town always affords the best
market. There is saving in freight
rates and commissions to middlemen.

SYSTEM IN susiNEss.
Necessity Of Making Appearances Such
as to Please the Sensitive Public.

System in the average retail or even
wholesale house has advantages In
more ways than one. 1t Is now gen.
orally conceded that system is neces-
sity to dispatch of either office or
house work. 1t also Is necessary to
appearance. A well-systematized
store. no matter what kind of stock 1t
contains. presents a much handsomer
appearance than one with the odds
and ends jumbled together as II defy
ing human ingenuity to unravel 1t. The
eye-photo or unconscious mind impress
sion received by the customer. while
totally unconscious of its impression,
is lasting and decisive.
The dealer and each of his clerks
may enter the store in which they
work and not notice the want OF sys-
TEN. but the impression is constantly
going out with each visitor to your
place of business.
1t is well to occasionally look at the
matter from the other side of the
counter. Imagine yourself in the stead
of the customer See what sugges-
lions you could make for an internal
improvement If the store belonged to
the other fellow. You will be sur
prised to see how many things you
would change.

Very often the irritation in the

Juice of lemon.
Turpentine applied to bruise will

Rhubarb should be eaten at least

FOR SPRING AND SUMNER TRADE
Right Kind Of Advertising Brings in
the Customers and Builds Up
Business.

Merchants who get out and present
their lines in the right way are going
to capture the trade. Questions that
the retailers should ask themselves.
are: What am doing in the way Of
advertising? Have l the right kind
Of space in my home paper? Have 1
the proper style of copy? Have l
spoken to the printer about getting
up the advertisement tastefully and
with a border. etc, and in the right
kind of type?
Spring goods should be in show win
dows now. and much of all that is
ready for the buyers.
If the merchant uses a page or a
half page in the local paper, he should
have the printer lift the form and run
of thousand or more handbills that
can be circulated about the country.
No use in doing this unless it is the
right kind of advertising. No use In
just saying: Spring goods of all kinds
at Browns" Such won't bring bust
ness. Give prices. and tell how low
the prices are and how good the goods
are. The advertisement should be so
divided as to give space to different
kinds of goods. and some good illustra-
tons, and some prices that will talk.
so-when the prospective buyers come
they will not be disappointed. Mer-
chants should see that clerks don't lie.
don't misrepresent. and that they treat
every caller courteously. See that de-
liveries of goods are promptly made.
and that in each package there goes
out circular telling of other bargains.
Now should be the merchants harvest
time. Everybody who has money ex-
poets to spend a goodly share of it.
Don't neglect advertising right. Tell
your patrons that you can secure for
them any kind Of goods that they want
If you should happen not to have what
is inquired for In stock. Your jobber
will take special pains to put up a
small order for you If you tell him
that there Is need for it. and will try
to assist you all he can. Now Is your
harvest time and make the best of 1t.

Close observers note that the most
successful grocery stores are the ones
which are kept in the cleanest and
neatest order. There is large class
Of people. and they are not the richest
ones. either. who would rather have
good. clean groceries. things they
know are pure and kept right, and pay
a good price for them. than have in
ferior. carelessly kept goods at a cheap
price. Attractiveness about the grocery
is most important thing. 1t means a
saving all around In the southern
country where the summer weather
continues for the greater part Of the
year too great care cannot be exer-
cised in the looking after stocks. A
little neglect will cause losses that
will prove serious. Some classes of
goods If not protected from insects
will be soon ruined. The grocer who
would have his windows attractive
will odo well to avoid having stale
things displayed. He should strive to
make anfmpression that his stocks are
clean and well-kept.

Lace RuHies.

Black is allowable. and 80 is the
same shade as the suit. The sleeves
may be coat shaped or slightly full
and end in turn back dark cuffs. Tiny
ruffies of lace peeping out topping the
gloves will be all the relief necessary.
A trim, round, short figure will wear
the trig, close-fitting eton styles made
with a smart-looking vest, but If the
hips are unduly large the short coat
coming just below the line of the hips
will be better, made semi-fitting in the
back and straight as to fronts. Flat
or mannish collars are to be pre-
ferred, but in the matter Of sleeves
the plain conventional model Is by no
means always the most becoming.
A certain fullness about the elbow
will often disguise too. generous
waist line, and when the goods call
for it, medium, fussy sleeves may be
adopted.
Long wraps of this type can be plait-
ed Norfolk fashion with good effect,
with the straight fronts, the back belt
ed into the underarm seams, and the
sleeves medium full. This model is
good for silk, mohair, or any of the
lightweight tweeds.
