GREAT LABOR SAVER
GET PAIR OF SCISSORS FOR UsE
IN KITCHEN.
Better Than Knife for Cutting up
Vegetables or Even Meats-Eas-
lily Dispose Of Chicken Joints
and Lobster Shells.

II you want to see a pair Of scissors
put to all sorts Of queer uses just
watch some young housekeeper get
ting vegetables ready for dinner or
preparing a salad II is declared that
in nine cases out of every ten things
can be cut better with the scissors
than with a knife.
Especially in the preparing Of salads
should the kitchen scissors appeal to
the housekeeper looking for labor.sav-
ing schemes. Dicing apples and celery
is a matter OF only a moment when
done in this way, and a few green
peppers may be shipped up in less
time than It takes to tell about It.
The easiest way to dice green pep
pers is TO cut of several long slivers
the whole length OF the pepper. Hold
these firmly in one hand and with
the scissors clip through the entire
bunch. Several stalks Of asparagus
may be clipped through in the same
way.
For following out a tomato previous
to stufiing, pair Of scissors enables
one 10 remove practically all the pulp
without breaking through the skin.
For fruit salads scissors are equally
useful. as the fine skin which sep
arates the sections Of grape fruit and
oranges is easily clipped of in this
way.
But fruit and vegetable salads are
not the only kinds for which the
kitchen scissors may be brought into
use. Cold boiled chicken and lobster
are easily cut into pieces, and, surpris-
ing as It may seem to those who
haven't tried II. chicken joints and
lobster shells are no obstacles when
scissors are us,d.
The hard parts Of oysters and clsms
are neatly removed with a pair OF
scissors. and slices Of cold tongue and
ham are often much improved in ap-
pearance If. before sending to table
they are trimmed into shape in the
same way
When II comes to preparing cold
vegetables for reheating in cream
sauce, or for the many popular dishes

again a blessing Cold boiled potatoes.

CLAIM FOLKS
LIVE HERE

McAlester, okla, Dec. 11.-Tuesday
night while Sheriff Harrison was at
the station waiting to see some
friends off on the 1855 train, young
man came to him and said he had
been robbed in the Commercial Hotel
and wanted an officer to investigate
the matter The sheriff sent Patrol
man Wilcox and Watchman McCully
there and later went to the hotel.
The young man gave his name as
J.. c. Smith and said he was on his
way from Indiana to Texas; that he
was awakened by a woman who was
sitting on the side OF his bed; that
after she had left the room he missed
his gold watch, diamond valued at
$50 and SO in money.
He identified Mrs. Everett Johnson
as the woman in his room and she
and her husband occupied a room but
two removed from that of the young
man. Their room was searched and
the officers say the watch was found
in window in the room. The dia-
mond and money were not found.
Johnson and his wife nave been
here since Nov. 16. They say their
people live at Chickasha and that they
were married in Choctaw county The
woman had her marriage certificate.
They are well dressed and exceedingly
good loking young people. They we're
we're locked up in the county JAIL
The landlady says the conduct Of
the couple has been good since they
came. johnson says he is waiting to
take job with the local telephone
company. Mrs. Johnson stoutly de-
nies having been in the mans room.
It Is apparent that Smith is not en-
tirely frank in his story Of how the
theft occurred. as there are gaps in
his story hard to bridge.

SERIES OF TEN TALKS on ADVERTISING NJ (
written BY seymour EatOa o. PHILADELPHIA 1NOs -

Never spring big newspaper advertisement upon
the public Unexpectedly.
Make it an invariabe rule to lead up by two or
three nicely graded steps to the important
ment to be made People take a certain pleasure out
of anticipation They enjoy their dinner all the
if they have been anmously waiting to hear the bell
But if you open up your morning newspaper and find
blazed forth in big headlines the advertisement of
something startingy you stunned rather than
interested If, however, for two or three days you
have been looking for this announcement and each
day getting little curious about you get your
self keyed up in anticipation and then the announce
ment is better thar you had imagined you sur
render in a body.
Don't pay the United States government two
cents for carrying letter or circular worth less than
two cents.
The average advertiser will shave off IS cents
thousand on envelopes and quarter Of a cent pound
paper and beat down the printer in price that he
is obliged to use a 30cent ink and by various other
economies get his material ready for Sc thousand.
He will then pay the government $40 for carrying his
stingy, badly-printed, cheap-looking Sc worth of
stuff and pat himself the back for being economical
Don't waste gray matter on your competitor. No
matter how entertainingy he lies you 60 right on
telling the plain blunt kind Of truth moher-used-
te-make. aEaHl1 @asss "a .lA4,a BID ~~
Truth can be made far more entertaining than
fasehood. Don't be afraid to call a spade spade.
If the goods shoddy advertise them as shoddy,
give good shoddy measure, and charge shoddy prices
There tens Of thousands Of people who prefer

Ifyou have news to pint about your so-e-sore

advertiser has an idea that the fool things he
drags into his copy the entertaining it is The
clown has the very idea.
The great thing in all advertising is not quantity

year round, would you not be satisfied
to allow them to lay the pipe line

Farmer Hankins thought that Agatha
never looked prettier in all her life, but
at the same time he was not to be so
easily captured. If he wanted a water
trough. he thought he could have put
one there himself without the assist
ance OF the Town.
"But you haven's got the spring, have
your? Agatha asked innocently. So this
settled Farmer Hankins' argument on
the point. 1t was a fact that his farm
was destitute of springs, so that when.
as always happened In summer during
the dry seasons. the wells on his farm
failed his place was as dry as the des-
