NITA'S NEW
 YORK FASHIONS
What Will Be Seen tor Has Been Seen) on Easter Parade-Freak Styles-Alas, Q Train, and Grotes- que. Too.

Seasons come and seasons go. But the Easter parade of fashion main tains its hold on the rich, the middle class and the poor alike. It is a show unlike any other. The great mass first dutifully go to church and proudly and prayerfu y kneel in their new hnery. Later. like strutting pea cocks. they march the length of Fifth Avenue, from Forty Second St., as far north as Ninety Fifth.
 Tn the oiden days this promenade took place from Twenty-Third to Eff eeenth Street. But as trade has en- croached on the lower streets the up- Der avenue with its handsome resi- dences. palatial clubs and grand churches forms the fitting background for this eaaly spring display.
 Even though many protest that 1t Is not good form, yet every year the outpouring increases.
 As a rule this first glimpse of spring style Is akin to the early show win dowa The really dependable styles are not then on view. The radical changes, the newest col brings and millinery novelties galore ing show one worth considering. are enough however, to make the pass
 It Is to be hoped that the "patchy" gowns will not take hold. Still there Is no gainsaying the value of this mode in using up odds and ends of dress goods
 A particularly noticeable feature, the outgrowth of the peplum. is a sort of draped curtain effect below the waist line In front. This broadens out to a square at the back. for all the world like the old fashioned basque" On black and white stripes which are high in favor this spring. this effect is produced by plain black satin patch On many of the plain blues, and peculiar new dull red. Oriental bor- ders woven into the goods are plan ned to give almost a sash effect a lit tie above the knees.
 Then again there comes a gown of violet cloth so planned that 1t looks as though the over section was actu- ally dipping down. It appears to be only stopped :n Its flight by a rosette just below the knee at the left side.
 Another innovation of this Easter iD a short train. which Is in reality a pro,ongation of this drapery. It is neither square nor round like the us- ual train to which we have grown ac- cuseomed- Instead 1t is narrow pointed streamer appendage that ap- parently has no earthly excuse for ex- istence. save that the goods in front need not be cut of.
 I sincerely trust this mode will sink into oblivion. Else we shall be treat cd to the spectacle of a street clean ing brigade, which reused such protest from those of sanitary desires when the train was formerly in vogue. Sleeves too are noticeably different. They are considerably wider. and with shoulder draperies fringed.
 The elbow sleeve finished with two frills of contrasting colors. such as black and white, blue and green, black and orange. are very effective in net or soft messaline silk. They add a decidedly Frenchy touch to any gown.
 This Is one of the styles we'll worth copying. It is a small but important fashion revelation of the Easter pa rade of 1912

CAMPAIGN THOUGHTS.

This is a presidential year. (An unaSsailable refectiOn.) Things will be better,'' so we hear,
 After election Now comes the questing of the Vote, The Keynote Speech. the Clarion Note
 This is the season When everywhere and roundabout, From coast to coast, and vicy-versy, The candidates will speak and spout,
 Sans fear or mercy; When from the Peerless Pines of
 Maine To California's Pebbly Beaches, We are enthralled by the campaign,
 And many speeches. Perhaps I ought to add '.enthralled," (Cf. line 8, above tetrastich) As MT. Ward once might have drawl-
 ed,
 Was wrote sarkastick. And therefore I demand a word, A message to This Glorious Nation, crave the right of being heard
 On Conservation. On Conservation: Not of trees Of waterways, or fish, or horses Of something greater far than these:
 Human Resources Resources wasted in campaigns, In oratory dry and juiceless. The waste of energy and brains
 Strikes me as useless. For him I'd vote who said Enough! I scorn the terrible traditions Of the campaign. I leave that stuff
 To politicians That's all. I might do five or six More stanzas, but I find it dreary. Do you care much for politics?
 They make me weary. Franklin P. Adams in the April Metropolitan

HOME HEALTH CLUB
By DIR. DAVID H. REEDER, La Porte, Indiana

THE TEETH:-It used to be that any person who wished to be called Doctor and who could secure a den- tist's chair and a simple set of for ceps, might be a dentist. But the law took hold of the situation and dema,. d ed that the dentist should know some thing else about the teeth and thei. functions, besides simply possessing main strength and awkwardness."
 Now, in order to get a license to practice dentistry, the applicant must have a diploma from a school that teaches, not only the alveolar proces- ses but also enough of surgery and anatomy to enable one to judge of the condition of the teeth and the causes of their disease. With this has come much of science; application of anes- thetics to hinder the frightful pain that accompanies the extraction of teeth. etc.
 Indigestion is frequently the cause of bad teeth, and often bad teeth are ditions of the entire system, especial ly nervousness and headache. They produce an almost unbearable bad taste in the mouth, foul breath, and many other disagreeable effects.
 Indigestion weakens the seiretions; gases arise from the stomach, coatin g the mouth and tongue and making a
 
 tack the teeth; forming tartar and de- cay, and ulceration of the gums. The destructive microbes, in swarms, work ing upon the dentine destroy the en- amel and decay is certain to follow.
 The teeth should be kept scrupu- 'ously clean. This prevents the accu- mutation of tartar by annihilating the microbes as fast as they congregate. Besides, clean teeth are an element of common Gecency that one owes to his associates as we'll as to himself. Use a good tooth brush. What you pay for cigars in a day would buy all the tooth brushes you could use in len years, and good ones at that. This applies to many other extravagances, hesides cigars, with both sexes. Brush the teeth several times every day, us- ng soft water, and frequently use an lntiseptic wash. Especially should he teeth be cleaned after eating, for hen the particles of food that adhere o the interstices are removed and not eft to decay, set up fermentation ana orm a colony of microbes, at every pot available to them.
 Primitive people never had tooth .che and the Indians before civiliza- ion took charge of them-were not d for their white perfect teeth. This vas because of their simple diet, and
 mp1e life, generally.
 A constant diet of hot soups, fresh heats, highly spiced food, and all sorts of indigestible stuff, is destruc-

I ASK NO MORE.

ROMANCE WIPED IN THE BUD.

Tn Virginia, the State famous for it's oratory, pedigrees and pride, there lives an old man, who, although rath- CT shy on education himself, appre- ciates the value of culture in others. He sent his daughter to Maryland boarding school where young ladies are taught everything from arithmetic up to how to manage a gown with train on it. A few months later, says the Popular Magazine, he received a letter from the daughter telling him that she was simply infatuated with a ping-pong."
 That was too much for the old man. He indignantly telegraphed to the principal of the school instructfng her never to allow his daughter to asso- ciate with a Chinaman.

gets along the New England coasts are better simply steamed or baked. The large hard-shelled clans that are supplied to the greater part of the and made into bouillon or chowder. The hard or muscular part of both oysters and clans is more indsgestible than the softer portion. For serv- ing raw on the shell, select cherry stone, the little neck, or sand clam.
 OYSTER oMELET.
 Beat four eggs very light; one ta- blespoonful cornstarch, mixed with one cup milk. Put half in pan and fry with a layer of oysters on top and turn over. Fifteen oysters.
 STEAMED CLANS SERVED IN
 SHELLS.
 Wash the clans thoroughIN; ar range neatly in a steamer, which stands over a kettle of boiling water, and boil rapidly for twenty or thirty minutes. Lift the clans; saving the liquor that has filed the shells, and of butter and dusting of pepper. When about to serve to your guests stand each of the cups in the centre of large soup-dish and arrange the clans around. With an oyster fork the clans may then be removed from the shells, dipped into the liquor and eaten. Serve very hot.
 BAKED FISH.
 A fish weighing from four to six pounds is best-cook it whole. Make a dressing of bread crumbs; butter, salt and pepper. A little salt pork chopped fine, egg, onion and parsley. Fill the body, sew it up. put across it some strips of salt pork to flavor it. Put an old plate in bottom of pan to keep fish out of water.

tive to the teeth. Let the usual diet be of simple food, and reserve the rich things for occasional high days and holidays" But there is no time when such food is taken that does no; afterward demand special and partic- ular care of the teeth, and some fore boding-with those who know.
 Have a dentist examine your teeth once every season-springs summer, autumn and winter, and have him re- move the tartar, if any has accumulat- ed. If there is a decayed tooth, have 1t filed there and then, if he thinks it can be saved, otherwise have it ex- tracted.
 In short, take perfect care of your teeth and your digestion, and the chances are ten thousand to one that you will never have toothache, decay ed teeth, bad breath and the many other disagreeable accessories of care- leSSneSS in this regard
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-04-04
CREANIED FISH.

Boil fish fifteen or twenty minutes; take out bones, season with salt and pepper. To one pint of fish add one tablespoonful of butter, one-half ta- blespoonful flour, one pint of milk in which has been boiled a bit of onion. Mix this gently with the fish so as not to break the flakes. Place in bak- ing pan, sprinkle with bread crumbs and bake from twenty to thirty min uteS in hot oven.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-04-04
CLAM CAKES.

Take twenty large clans; dry with a napkin or towel; chop fine One cup and half of flour, one cup milk, one teaspoonful baking powder; beat till smooth, then stir in the clans with little of the juice. Beat all together, then drop into boiling lard table spoonful at a time. and let cook till brown

SCALLOPED SALMON.

Pick fine one can salmon; add grat- ed onion; salt and pepper to taste. Boil one pint of milk; mix two table spoonfuls flour, butter size of an egg, and add to the hot milk and let all thicken. Add two well beaten eggs, then make in layers with salmon, put ting fine bread crumbs on top. Bake in a quick oven.

CLUB NOTES,

Dear DOctOr:
 Please tell me what to do for feet that perspire during the winter.
 For one week, every night before re- tiring, wash your feet in water just as hot as can be borne. Keep them in the hot water half way up to the knees. Have a pailful of ice cold water ready and plunge them directly into it, keeping them in it only twenty seconds. Rub briskly until dry, and go to bed. After the weeks treat ment apply the following: One pint vinegar, one teaspoonful red pepper, one teaspoonful salt. Put on fire and simmer slowly until reduced to one half pint. Strain and rub solution in thoroughly. Two applications three nights apart should complete the cure. Do not neglect this condition as it is liable to lead to more serious troubles. In many cases of this kind the same profuse precipitation comes from the armpits. A hot fermentation must be used there, then the cold, etc.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-04-04

In colors for suits this season grays and browns predominate; antelope gray is much in demand, and all browns, from cream to deep chestnut, are favored.
 Heavy faces are meeting with dis tinct favor to form crowns of hats, part crowns, brfms, upper and lower; but they appear to the very best ad- vantage when placed near velvet rib bons, especially black.
 This is a season of most brilliant col ors in millinery. Cerise, kings blue combined with green and touch of pfl,k, the tan shades, sage green, gray anI pink ostrich plumes and smart col 7binat tfons of black and white are all used with a lavish hand
