BOYS IN BILLIARD OR POOL
ROOMS.

Camden is the latest of the
many municipalities that have
enacted laws prohibiting minor:
from playing billiards or pool in
public places or from lettering il
the rooms where such games are
played. The Camden ordinance
is now being published in the
local papers, and its first section
is as follows:
Section /. That from and after
the passage of this Ordinance i;
shall be unlawful for any minor
under eighteen years OF age to
enter and loiter in any billiard
or pool room in the City of Cam
den, S. c., for the purpose OF
playing billiards or pool, or any
other game therein, or OF watch
ing any other person play such
games Or any other therein.
The succeeding sections make
it a criminal offense for the pro
prietor or manager Of a billiard
or pool room to permit a minor
to enter his place OF business fol
the purpose OF playing games o
any kind or to watch others play
a violation oil the ordinance be-
ing punishable with a maximum
fine of $40 or imprisonment fol
not more than ten days. The
third section declares as nui.
sance any billiard or pool room
in which minors are allowed tc
loiter or to play games.
Lancaster would DO well tc
pass a similar ordinance. Boys
have no business in public pool
or billiard halls. While the
games are innocent enough in
themselves, and though there
are now M har-rooms in this
State, thank heaven. the present
generation at least will always
associate in mind nublic billiard
and pool tables with wbjskev "a

How Materials Left Over from the

The housewife who last fall stocked
her pantry and storeroom with all
sorts Of canned goods Is very apt to

zon. Stewed tomatoes, canned corn

Of all these by now. II canned supplies
are to be used. they must now be dis
guised by clever cookery.
Corn Pudding.-Take a can Of corn

the corn very fine. Now put in baking
dish and add to this corn one cup OF
rich milk, butter the size Of a walnut.
two tablespoons, Of sugar and two
eggs which have been well heated
Stir all together and bake in q moder-
ate oven for one hour.
Corn Oysters.-The name Is taken
from the shape OF the corn when
cooked. Take half can Of corn and
chop fine. add to this the yolk Of one
egg. salt and pepper to taste. Mix
well and then add the white Of the
egg, which has been beaten very stiif.
Drop on hot frying pan in lard about
the size of an oyster and fry brown
on both sides. II you find the corn is
very dry, you can add little milk to
thin the batter before frying.
Pilan.-Half can Of tomatoes. one
cup of rice. one pint Of water. one cup
Of diced meat. one-half tablespoon Of
curry, one-half teaspoon Of salt. two
tablespoons Of butter, one-half tea
spoon of onion and little pepper.

HOSIERY TO MATCH SHOE TOPS.
Mirror In Dressing Room should Be
Placed to Give a View Of the Feet.

IAN idea of the season is to have
the shoe tops and the stockings
match. 1t is quite the thing to take
ones shoe tops along when getting
hose. There should not be any d.
viding line between the tops of
the boots and the beginning Of the
stockings.
and the shoes should always look
new. New strings make boot look
new. They are like new ribbons on a
hat or new ties In a low shoe.
II regard boot looking glass as an
absolute essential where good looking
feet are concerned. Few women have
mirror low enough to see boot
right from the sole up. and advise
the woman who wants nice looking
feet to have bit OF glass or mirror
set into the wall right next to the
floor.
1T can be panel shaped and tall
enough to take in the whole figure.
or it can be merely couple of feet
in height. But long, slender panel
mirror reaching from the floor up to
a height Of six feet will prove i'm
mensely convenient to a woman who
values her good looks"

A study of the eyes of the lower animals,
especially of birds, is likely to throw light
upon the biology and pathology of the hui
man visual apparatus. In other words, the
practical ophthalmologist studies the eyes
of birds only to better understand the care
and treatment Of the eyes of man. In
birds we have the highest type of vision. The
very existence of every bird depends upon
good eyesight with which to escape its enc
mics and to obtain food. Some mammals,
fishes. reptiles, and amphibia get through
life fairly well without eyes, but there are
no blind bird families.
