MILK EoR FLESH REDUCTION.

The simplest article containing com,
plete nourishment is milk. That is DR..
Mitchells cure foE obesity, but he puts
his patients to bed while he gives it to
them. An amount of milk sufficient
for the nourishment of a healthy, act,
i've person presents digestive difficult
les for many. 1t is not the simple
liquid diet it seems, but presents a
solid mass of curds in the stomach.
Lime water makes it more digestible.
In the form of buttermilk, it is easier
to digest and makes a very effective
reduction diet 1t is wise to take with
It a little gluten bread with butter,
since the fats have been removed from
the milk.

BY ELIZABETH BIDDLE.

The arrangements for a formal din
ner, whether there be six or twenty
six guests, should be the same. Six
is a good number, as one servant, if
we'll trained, can wait on that num-
Der without difficulty. The service
will, of course, be slow, but it can be
well done. The usual hour for a din
ner party is seven o'clock, but half
past seven is preferred by many and
for very ceremonious affairs eight
o'clock is the correct hour.
The table should be covered with a
heavy felt or cotton-hannel cloth
Over this is laid the cloth of white
damask or of heavy linen and lace,
embroidered linen, open work, or any
style of cloth which the hostess may
wish to use. No one can make q mis-
take, however, in using a cloth Of
heavy, fine satin damask, which has
been well laundered and with one
long fold down the middle. The
table cloths which cannot be washed
are not in good taste, and none but
those who can afford to have a new
one for every dinner should ever
think of using them.
The napkin should be large and
never folded in fancy designs, but
simply folded in a perfect square,
with the monogram corner showing
When one speaks of the arrange.
ment of each cover it means the
arrangement of the glasses, knives
forks, spoons, etc, which are laid be.
fore each seat at the table. The
Service" plate is the plate which is
laid at the cover between each course
When the soiled plate is removed the
service plate is laid in its place. It
is also laid at each cover before The
guests enter the dining room. These
plates should be the best ten-inch
plates which the hostess possesses.
At the right of the service plate
place as many knives as will be re
quired before dessert, each one with
the sharp edge turned toward the
plate and in the order in which they
will be needed, beginning at the eX-
IRENE right At the right of the
knives place the spoon for soup, with
the inside of the bowl turned up; then
the oyster fork or small fork for
canapes. At the left of the cover
place as many forks as will be needed
before the dessert, unless there will
be a great many courses, in which
case 1t is best to have the necessary
forks laid at each cover when the
course is served Too much small sill

USE FLATTERY FOR CURES

they need not bestow courtesy or SEN
timent upon their wives Some men
reserve their stories of hattery for
other mems wives, which makes par
ticularly interesting reading in the
divorce courts.
Now, this learned man is right in
his fundamentals. We do not know
whether or not a case of appendicitis
or Of cerebro-spinal meningitis may
be cured by fattery, but if more men
went home to their wives with cheer
full faces, with loving words, with
the most tender courtesy and a box
of candy or a bunch of violets, a lot
of heart trouble would be cured in
stanter The principal fact about a
woman is that she is a woman. She
lives on love. She is made for it and
normally can not exist in good spirits
without it. The greatest injury that
can come to woman is the feeling
that she awakens no romantic inspi-
ration in her husband. If every hus.
band would tell his wife once a day
that he loved her, as we'll as show
it, the world would be much happier
1t is not alone necessary to love your
wife; you must show it by thousand
things that seem meaningless .trifies
to the men, but are the larger part OF
! life to a woman.

And now comes a very learned man,
psychologist, a physicist and a phil
osopher, who seems to nave investi-
gated the whole subject to his own
satisfaction, and finds that the world
is cursed with truth, or, rather, with
a lack of lies Human beings, par
ticularly those of the feminine gender,
suffer physical tOrments, it appears,
because they are not buoyed up by
sufficient flatter What women need
is not so much quinine and ipecac as
a lot of white lies. When you go
home to the wife of your bosom you
are not to tell her that she looks bad
and ought to have a doctor at once.
BY no means. You must tell her that
she looks younger than she has for
years, and that she never was as
dear to you, and that you are hardly
because you are so distracted by
thoughts of her.
The remedy at least is cheap. 1t
costs nothing but effort, but, alas!
more effort than some men are will
ing to put forth. 1t is not because a
man is too truthful to tell lies to his
wife about her appearance, but be-
cause he hasn't the willing mind. 1t
is too common for men to presume
that simply because they are married

RECIPE THAT MADE FORTUNE

The Berwick sponge cake has been
famous throughout the northern por
tions of New England for fully three
quarters of a century. The particulars
of its history are told in a manuscript
cookbook now in the possession OF
Miss Isabelle Gordon of La Grange
Ill. According to this authority, Will
lam Briggs, injured in a railroad ac,
cident, promised not to sue the com,
pany provided it would agree to build
him a restaurant at North Berwick,
Me, and there stop every train for
five minutes. This was done as
agreed, and in twenty years Briggs re-
tired, made rich from the sale of his
wonderful sponge cake. The Berwick,

What Sort of Self Are You True To 2
Apropos of a recent article in which
"a correspondent asked for advice as
to whether she should leave her hus-
band and child, because she loved an
other man, another correspondent
takes exception to the suggestions
made, and, advising the woman to go
with her new love, says, "A woman
should at least be true to herself"
The original question is not now
again under discussion. But ! should
like to ask my second correspondent,
what sort of self should we be true
to-"
Should we be true to the self that is
selfish, that is Indifferent to the suffer
ings of others, that thinks nothing of
duty, that has no regard for the social
good? Or should we bo true to the
self that is unselfish that considers
the ties of duty, the good of the com
munity, that is willing to sacrifice for
at least willing to shoulder the results
of its own mistakes, and not ask some
body else to hear them.
For without doubt we all have two
selves, a lower self that would lazily
slip into selfshness and self-indulg-
ence and the Sinking of responsible
ties, and a higher self tells us unset
| fishness and service and willingness 10
do our share for the common good are
the only things worthy of the true man
or woman. Which shall we yield to.
Which in the end will bring us soul
growth and enlightenment and true
happiness?
When temptation comes, for that is
what problems of this sort really are
we are too apt to soothe our con
science, if we have one, by saying We
must be true to ourselves, that we
have a right to live our individual life
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1912-01-06

1t is indeed true that we should be
true to ourselves. But We should take
long, long look at life. and at our
self, and see their relation to each
other, not only for the present time,
but for all time, in deciding such a
question.
Now is part of eternity We are
not only living for the present But
we are living forever. And we are liv-
ing here to grow, to learn, to fit our
selves to go on to more wonderful and
more glorious knowledge In being
true to ourself which way are we go.
ing Are we going forward to the
true and beautiful things of the un.
seen but real world. or are we going
backward to the husks of this one? II
the passing temporal pleasures that 90
and leave not a trace behind, except
perhap a smirched mind or a SCARED
conscience?
The sweeping statement that we are
being true to ourselves or living OUT
individual life is not sufficient to alb
solve us. We need to took through
this and see what it covers. We dc
not live alone in this world. We are
not here for the pleasures of the mo
ment We want to look from all sides
at what our true self is. We want &c
look sincerely, frankly. We do indeed
want to be true to ourselves, not tC
iuggle and flim-fam and deceive oul
true self with this pretense, not tC
stab and wound our true self, and sci
up in its place an imitation that vii
give us an excuse for selfindulgencC
and selishness and neglect of duty.
! Let us study this matter of our true
self bit. One of Greeces wise mel
said, 'Know myself" If we did truly
know ourself, we might steer a safer
and a more prosperous course in this
stage of our existence.

soup course. When the soup plate is
removed, the service plate is taken
with it, After this course the plate
i with the portion of food on it is
/ placed on the table in front of the
guest, and close to the edge of the
table. If anything is to be served
with the course it should be placed
on the tray and passed to the left
side of each guest, being held low
himself or herself, with the right
hand.
If the method of always having
plate before each guest until dessert
is followed, then the tray should be
dispensed with. Remove the plates
from the right with the left hand and
place the following course or empty
plates with the right hand also from
the right. The dishes containing veg
etables, etc, may be carried to the
butler or maid in the palm of the left
hand with a folded napkin beneath
the dish.
Gusts should be served in rotation,
beginning alternately at the right and
left of the host and hostess, giving
in opposite direction for each sue
cessive course.
The more simple way of serving is
to have the carving done in the kitch-
en- or pantry, then place the course
on large platter, accompanied by
the necessary serving fork or spoon.
Place the hot plates before the guests
and then offer the platters to each
guest, at the left side Fish may be
cut up in this way, also the roast. If
the game is large, it may also be cut
into small pieces and served from a
platter. If small birds are served
they may be placed on a platter and
offered to the guests in this way, or
one may be placed on each individual
plate and laid before the guest. Salad
may be put into a large bowl and
handed to the guests.
/ To remove each course. wait until
everyone has finished, then take the
/ tray to the left hand and with the
right hand remove the plates from
the right, placing it on the tray. Or
/ the plate may be removed without
using a tray. Never pile one plate on
top of another when clearing the
table, if it is not convenient to take
so much time as it will to remove one
plate at a time, take one plate in each
hand, not using tray, thus remov-
ing two plates at time. If the knife
or fork are accidentally left on the
table by a thoughtless guest, take
them up afterwards and put them on
tray.
This form of serving is not usually
| followed at a large and very formal
| dinner.
Wine should always be poured into
glasses from the right and should
follow the serving of each course.

their regard. Let her who is still open

butter and combine it with one pine Of
granulated sugar. Whip a cup OF
cream to a froth only. Beat four eggs
without separating, very light. Crate
butter and combine it with one pint o.
pulp Mix all together. Line two deeI
pie plates or tins with paste and pour
in the above mixture. Cover with the
, paste and bake until crusts lool

bination train and bus fare from
Benton City to Prosser is exactly
the same as the direct train fare
from Benton City to Kennewick.
1t Mr.. Harrison chooses to travel
by the Northern Pacific and obviate
the dusty ride from North Prosser
he may walk mile across to Kiona
and take the train there.
Mr.. Harrison's statement that
Prosser is more accessible to Benton
City is not bourne out by the facts
for Benton City has no direct rail
communication with the present
county seat and it has with Kenne-
wick. But just the same this mile
and half bus ride or mile walk is
Mr.. Harrison's most important rea-
son why the county seat should re-
main at Prosser. And this reason
takes equal rank with any that
have so far been advanced by the
Prosser political ring why the, tax
payers of the county should dig up
for a court house in order that the
county seat might be perpetuated
near the Yakima line.
