This Is the time of year when we
should cut down on meats and eat
the fresh vegetables which are
coming into market in profusion.
While we may tire Of the old ways
of cooking vegetables, we may with
just a little study, replace the old
dishes with new methods.
Tomatoes, for instance. Choose
small round ones, take out the tops
and inside just as we used to do.
Now carefully drop an egg in each
one without breaking It, salt and
pepper, and a little butter and bake
until the egg is set and the toma-
toes done.
Select good sized tomatoes, pre-
pare as in other recipe, put little
butter inside and fill with fresh
peas, seasoned. Bake until tender.
We always enjoy creamed
asparagus on toast. and we all
know how to do 1t. Suppose we

peppers by laying them on the side

four stalks of the cooked asparagus
through the rings, lay on crisp let
tuce leaves and serve with mayon-

WHAT HAPPENED TO JOHNNY

Johnny was a city boy, and knew
very little about the country. One
summer he went to visit some
cousins who lived ON a farm. He
started out for walk one morning.
and was crossing little field be-
hind the house when his heart sud
denly seemed to stop a moment,
and then jump straight up into his
throat and stick there!
He was being chased by a mad
bull!
Johnny had read stories about
mad bulls. He ran-mercy me,
how he ran! His feet just fairly
fell over each other until he got to
a tree, and he went up so fast 1t
made his head swim. And the bull
came straight up to the tree and
glared at him and beloved.
Johnny thought he had never heard
such fearful sound before. He
shook with fright. "Shoo." he cried.
But the bull didn't shoe worth a
cent.
Johnny began to wonder what
would happen If he had to stay In
the tree all night-what would hap.
pen II nobody found him at all. and
he had to starve up there. Then
as he was getting so sorry for him
self that he cried, his cousin May
younger than he by three months
came into the field and took the
wild bulls head in her arm and
said. "Why, Johnny! What did you
climb that tree for? Here's even
Glover. my pet COW, laughing at
you"

WOMEN AT UNIVERSITY.
DOrmitory Room Has Been Secured feu
 Co-Ed1.

University July G. Special. )--An announcement that will be of interest in educational circles is that the uni- versity of Alabama has secured an ad- ditionai building for use as women's dormitory during the coming session.
 Since women were admitted to the University by legislative enactment. due to the efforts several years ago of Miss Julia Tutwiler, the University has been able to accommodate only a com paratively small number on account of the lack of sufficient dormitory accom- modations. The enPollment of co-eds for several years has been little less than half a hundred. and for these reasons no effort was made by the Unt- versity to increase that number. It will now be possible for the University to accommodate thst number in It's own buildings, in addition to those who board elsewhere.
 It Is expected that the additional room will be taken quickly and that the University will again be unable 70 receive the full number of applicants
