A Sandwich FilIjno.

A delicious filling for sandwiches or
crackers is made by mixing equal
parts Of cream cheese and snappy
cheese with French dressing to a
smooth paste, then stirring in it
chopped red peppers or chopped olives.
This paste should be very creamy and
put on thickly, at least quarter of
an inch. 1t is nice between sailed

when the exercises at Gettysburg focus the eyes
of the entire country This is the case when the
president of the United States delivers the ad-
dress Of the day at Gettysburg. as President Taft
did a couple OF years az as President Roosevelt
did before him, and almost all of our presidents
have done in their day since that memorable occa-

The audience which faces president or other
public man at Gettysburg invariably impresses
the distinguished orator. IL is an assemblage
obviously made up largely of the farming class
and it is apt to be less demonstrative than the
applaudng crowds that are encountered in factory
towns but IL is a body of men and women who
pay such close attention to the address of which
