In controversies with his co

In controversies with his con-
temporaries, the air of superiority
over them assumed by Editor
L'Engle, of the Tallahassee Sun,
is comically overpowering. No
doubt they feel greatly abashed
when rebuked by him. But he
means no harm by it; his, inten.
tions are good, and his vagaries,
especially his patronizing air
towards the State officials, add
great interest to his paper and
cause it to be widely read. He
also has the services of the famous
,cartoonist, A. X. Taylor, who is
helping by his pictures to horri-
fly and paralyze those who pre-
sume to differ with the Sun and
its editor,

Several newspapers, including
The HERALD, urged the last leg
islature to enact a law prohibiting
drunken men from entering any
railway car or water craft carry
ing passengers, but the legislature
ignored the suggestion. Now,
every passenger train coming out
df Tampa in this direction has
kne or more drunken men
aboard, whose conduct and Ian
oalage are an annoyance to all the
other passengers, especially the
ladies. There were three of these
fellows on the train last Friday
evening and one of them was
swearing within the hearing Of
Adies, many of whom were pas
sengers. Such things ought to
make a rabid prohibitionist Of
Ach and every man who respects
humankind. z

An extremely decorative yet inexpen-
sive s~crap-basket may be made from
stiff cardboard and small odds and ends
of wallpaper. The cardboard should be
a rather heavy weight, and should be
cht in five pieces-four sides and a
bottom.
The basket should measure about ID
inches from the base to the highest
point, about 10 riches across the great
est width, and Z inches at the base. 1t
will be found advantageous to paste
the paper on the cardboard before cut

then lowered or striped wallpaper In
either Colonial or art i've designs
should be applied smoothly TO the out
side.
Ribbons in plain or fancy design are
slipped through small holes IN the sides
of the cardboard, and you have n re

expensive cretonne article now on the

limited variety in wallpapers, one can
always match q room in color, and be

To Keep the Neck Firm.

4 woman whose throat Is already be-
ginning to lose hrmness will be wise In
not wearing her high collars excessive
" tight. They may fit and not be
sloppy looking. but there is little chance
for retuvenation II the band Is so close
lv bound 70 the neck that it presses
against the flesh.
Every effort must be made constant
1y To hold the head erect, for this neces-
states muscles doing some work, keep
ing them hard, or at least strengthen
ing them. Disuse of any member or
muscle Of the body is the first aid to
p~aralyzlng its condition.
1t is a great mistake to lie down while
wearing a high collar. for the cords that
in the very nature of things are likely
first to give way become cramped and
contracted, thus weakening them.
If for any reason it is not possible to
remove the dress waist, the collar
should be Ioosened, releasing the throat.
After getting up the flesh under the
chin may be rubbed firmly, IL only for a
moment, and then patted with cold
water. This last Is almost the best
throat a%stringent, because 1t tightens
without acting on the natural oils, as
anything containing alcohol may do.

Meat Dict Detriaent to Fine Complexion

Meat Diet Detrilnent 10 Fine Complexion
If you are endeavoring to rid your
skin of enlarged pores or to keep the
flesh clear and white, you must be
willing to sacrifice meat at your meals.
Too much meat Will have a tendency
to increase the supply of natural oil,
which in turn will clog II enlarge
The pores.
We may scorn the idea of a vege-
tartan diet. but we must admit that
those women who are V-egetarians
have, as a rule. finer, whittier com
plexions than the Nomen who indulge
in meat three times a day.
Meat, necessary as 1t is TO most per
sons, is eaten too much. To partake
of it once u day is enough for any but
those who do the hardest kind of
manual labor. Fish. eggs and poultry
should take the place of beef, lamb,
mutton and pork If tho complexion is
TO be considered, and as all three of
these substitutes are nourlshing there
will be no danger of inlpoverishing the
system by their use.
Remembering that the simplest and
most wholesome diets are essential, and
that it takes weeks, and even months,
for a change to so through the sys-
fem, the woman who is trying to re-
ducc the pores on her face ian turn
her attention to external applications.
All alcoholic preparations. such as
toilet waters. are a%stringent, but for
his very reason they may bring
trouble by causing wrinkles. There is

now of serving potatoes In long rib
bons. These are left separate or
crossed to form lattice work. They
look much daintier for luncheon than
the whole vegetable.
First, wash and peel half a dozen
large potatoes and let them lie in cold
water for u few minutes. Cut them
up in ribbons, round and round like
an apple, and keep the strips of one
width.
Don't make them too thin or they
will break. Fry them in plenty of hot
fat until they are lightly Drowned.
Drain them on q wire sieve and sprin-
kle a little pepper and salt over them.
They should be fried for about eight
minutes and served OF a very hot dish.
Broad beans when young may be
cooked entire in Their pods, and are
quite as good as kidney Leans treated
in the same way. Overlooking is a com
mon fault in the cookery Of fresh
beans; they should be cooked about
twenty minutes. Twenty minutes is
usually sufficient for even fully devel-
oped beans. Parsley sauce is the ac-
cepted accompaniment of broad beans.
