FOR THE HOME DREssMAKER
Some Ideas That 1t Will Be Well to
Keep Always in the
Memory.

Dark red linen makes a girlish
dress that can be worn with a coat or
lingerie waist. The material laun-
ders nicely.
Some walking suits are trimmed
with pompadour ribbon on the collar,
narrow revers, cuffs and belt, the rib
bon matching the stripe of the ma
terial.
When altering a blouse for any rea-
son it is a great mistake to move the
shoulder seam to the front. A far
better plan is that of dropping it
backward instead of forward.
Vanity bags for dancing parties are
most attractively made of dainty rib
bon, in the form of tiny bag, which
holds powder and puff ball, while the
bottom on the outside has a mirror,
held in place by a shirred piece of
ribbon, after first being glued to the
Uncovered cardboard, which forms
the inside of the bag.

A Tasty Dish for Luncheon.-One can

suit. Bread crumbs about a cupful.
Break the salmon apart with a fork
and lightly mix with the other ingredi-
ents. Put this into a cake tin with a
funnel center and steam for 20 min
utes. This will come out in the shape
of a salmon loaf. While the salmon
loaf is steaming prepare, either fresh
or canned peas by cooking Is or 20
minutes, and when done season with
butter, pepper and salt, and garnish
the salmon loaf on the chop plate
with the peas by filling the cavity
formed by the funnel and spill gener-
Ously over the loaf This makes a
pretty and appetizing dish that is es-
pecially nice in June, when new peas
are so delicious.

Blackberry Cordial.

Put the blackberries in either a
preserving kettle or a stone jar, set
it inside the wash boiler and let them
simmer in their own juices until very
soft. Strain through a towel wet
with boiling water. Measure the
juice. To each quart of juice allow
two tablespoonfuls of ground cloves,
two of mace, two of aIlspice and four
of ground cinnamon. Boil the juice,
and after you have removed the scum
put it in the spices and stir well.
When cold add pint of whisky to
each quart of strip. Bottle iname-
diately and cork tight. If you use
brandy take a half-pint to each quart
of strip.

WANTS NO MODERNIZED BIBLE
King James Version the Best of All,
Says Writer in Success
Magazine.

We are just old-fashioned enough to
take no stock in the modernized Bible
which is shortly to appear, .couched
in everyday language, with obsolete
words and phrases eliminated" The
King James Bible has done more to
preserve the good old Saxon words
and style, which are the best English
literature has produced, than anything
else. Instead of a movement to get
us further away from that vigorous,
simple, classic style, and in the inter
est Of establishing the finest literary
ideals possible to a people destined to
use the curious hybrid which the Eng
lish language has become, it would be
more sensible to frown upon all efforts
to improve on the King James Bible.

PUZZLED
Hard Work, Sometimes, to Raise

Children's taste is Ofttimes more ac-

of any kind of cereal food He was
a weak little chap and we were puz-

"One lucky day we tried Grape
Nuts. Well, you never saw a child
eat with such relish, and it did me
good to see him. From that day on
it seemed as though we could almost
see him grow. He would eat Grape
Nuts for breakfast and supper, and ]
think he would have liked the food
for dinner.

"a friend has two children who were

Grape-Nuts as an experiment and the
result was almost magical.

been so much disturbed over the re-
port that $4,000 American farmers
have left the Canadian northwest that
they have undertaken an inquiry of
their own. The result of that is the
admission that 261 farmers and their
families have returned to the United

claim that over $4,000 settlers have
entered Canada from this country.
