SOME WARM WEATHER SALADS.

One of the prettiest of the luncheon
or supper salads IS made by cutting the
top from green pepper, removing the
seeds with a knife or stick-they burn
the skin If touched with the fingers
and filling the basket thus made with
chicken or lobster salad, says Christine
Terhume Herrick in the August Won
ans Home Companion. Each pepper
may be placed on a lettuce leaf and
crowned with a spoonful of mayonnaise
Another salad is prepared by hollow
ing tomato and filling it with dice
Of cucumber, or peeling a cucumber,
cutting it in half lengtnwise, scooping
out the inside, and replacing this with
dice Of tomatoes Serve either tomato
or cucumber on lettuce leaf and gar
nish with cucumber ribbons. These are
made by shaving the peel from the
outside Of a cucumber and then slicing
this. Take slice-it should be rather
thick-and with a sharp knife cut this
in spiral, as you would part an APP
pie. The shaving must be very thin.

The ROunder SAYS

RED Chicago banker and the family
are all people of worth and position.
But when Archer got to drinking he
soon found that booze" was the mas
ter Of him. He went from bad to
worse until finally he was taken to
the police station a physical and al
most mental wreck.
The unfortunate man was fined and
sent to the county Jail. In eleven days
lie was released and his employer
thought enough of him to send him 10 a
HOSPITAL in Chicago where it was
thought he could be kept until his
physical condition improved.
But Archer was still booze" fend
ana he soon left the hospital and came
back to Hammond. In a short time he
was picked up by the officers again
and was put in jail here. 1t is said
that his condition was about as bad as
could be ina gined.
He had lost all his self respect and
did not seem to care what became Of
him His friends were ashamed of him
and he was fast becoming an outcast.
Again he was fined for drunkenness.
but this time he put UP an expensive
overcoat as security for his fine and
went out to see if he could not raise
the money. That was the last the po-
lice saw of him for months.
He left the city April II and had
not been seen in Hammond until today
when he came into the police station
and claimed his overcoat.
The story he tells is remarkable.
After leaving Hammond he secured
some money from his friends and with
! it went voluntarily to IA Chicago hos
pital where he has been under the care
Of the nurses and physicians ever since.
They refused him the liquor he
craved and finally his physical condi-
| ton improved. They did not let him
go until he was physically all that
/! lie was before he began drinking. His
nervous system had been practically
wrecked but under treatment he was
| finally restored to normal
With return of health he began to
see the depths from which he had been
lifted He saw the hopclessness of his
| condition, when under the influence Of
/ liquor, and he determined never to
| take another drink.
Had he been the physical and mental
weakling that he was when he was
been able to withstand the temptation.
/ But the regenerated Archer was a
different man and he had the will pow
er to stick to his pledge. He is back
I in Hammond to redeem himself in the
/ eyes of his employers and his friends
and to show just how much good there
is in the world, they are receiving him
/ with open arms.

BANK IS VERY
PROUD OF ITS RECORD.
Citizens German National Bank Holds
Unique Position in This
Locality.

In another column of THE TIMES will
be found the quarterly statement of the
Citizen German National bank, Ham
mond's youngest and one of its most
progressive banking institutions. The
directors of the bank are pointing with
pride to a fact which is not generally
known and that is that the bank was
the only financial institution in Ham
mond to never refuse to pay a de-
posttor's check for any amount during
the recent furry when banks were com
PEELED to draw the line very closely to
protect their depositors.

To Determine Longitude.

The Paris Academy of Sciences has
appointed a committee to consider a
suggestion by M. Bouquet de la Grye
concerning the application of wireless
telegraphy to the problem of the de-
termination of longitude at sea. The
idea is to utilize the wireless telegraph
station Of the Eiffel tower in order to
send. for instance, every night at mid
night Hertzian signal giving the
time of the meridian of Paris. NJ.
Bouquet de la Grye thinks that ii. a
station were established at the peak
OF Teneriffe signals could be detected
completely around the earth.

The Shrinking Sun.

One hundred years ago the diameter
of the sun was four miles greater
than it is now. One thousand years
ago the suns diameter was 40 miles
greater than it is at present. Ten
thousand years ago its diameter was
400 miles greater than it is to-day.
The present diameter of the sun is
100000 miles, and if this diameter
were to shrink tomorrow to the ex-
tent OF 10000 miles the change would
not be appreciate to common OBJ
servatton. though much smaller
change would not elude the delicate
astronomical measurement. New
