Red Cross Seals Being Printed

Seventy-five million Red Cross
seals are now being printed for the
holiday sale of these anti-tuberculosis
stickers for 1912. The National Asso-

of tuberculosis, which in cooperation
with the American Red Cross will con-

ment and states further that the out
look this year is bright for higher
sale than ever before.
The seal this year is said to be the
best of It's kind that the Red Cross
has ever issued. The design Is in
three colors, red, green and gray. A
Santa Claus head in the three colors
is shown in the center surrounded by
holly wreaths. In each corner is a
small red cross. The seal bears the
greeting, Merry Christmas, Happy

HAD THE BANDMASTER GOING
Governor Suffered Because His Re-
quest Was Not couched in Plain
Enough Language.

Mr. Melvil Dewey, state librarian
of New York, said recently that libra

they now furnish books.

Then, apropos Of music and igno
rance, DR.. Dewey told story
"A certain governor" he said, was
being lunched at a seaside town. Dur.
ing the repast the local band played
on the beach outside the hotel The
drum was in charge of blacksmith
and he beat 1t so reasonably that at
last this message was sent out:
1.-The governor requests the drum
Ller to desist.'
THE bandmaster was puzzled by
this message for moment; then his
face frightened in a smile, and he
said:
more drum, Joe; the governor
likes it,"

ADORNMENTS FOR THE TABLE
Cloths, Luncheon Sets and DoiIies
Should All Be of the Finest
Possible Materials.

The tablecloth is becoming a thing
of rare beauty and some Of the new
ones are lovely enough, with their
wealth of lace and hand embroidery,
to be used for lingerie gown.
For the round table the linen covers
only the top, a 14-inch border of cluny
lace hanging below. This same lace
is inserted in the center of the cloth
and takes the place of the usual cen
ter-piece.
For the luncheon set color is being
introduced. Daisies embroidered in
natural tints upon heavy Irish linen
give charming new touch. These,
as a rule, include large centerpiece
and a dozen doilies.
The petals of the flowers are done
with very thick, fluffy floss and the
embroidery can be finished in a very
short time.
Other pretty luncheon sets are made
Of finer linen, the doilies being cut in
squares instead of round, while the
new punch work and very little fine
French embroidery are introduced.
For breakfast the table linen is
much palmer, and these sets include
the cloth and dozen small napkins.
Damask embroidered in quaint little
flower designs in color are very attrac-
tive, while others are Of linen crash
embroidered in cross-stitch.
All of these are rather expensive
when bought in the shops, but the
housewife who has several idle hours
during the day can with but slight
expense and little trouble give her Ia
BILE linen distinctive air.

COOKING PEAS AND CARROTS
Many Ways of Preparation to Suit tho
Individual Taste-Peas Served
In Turnlp Shells.

One way Of preparing peas, and for
my own taste there is none better:
BleDd together two tablespoonful Of
butter and one tablespoonful of -four,
ope-half teaspoonful of salt and little
pepper, for each pint of peas. When
the peas are soft stir this into the
peas and cook five minutes. In pre-
pairing them in that way all the flavor
and nutritive value Of the peas are re-
tanned. Use care that there Is not too
much water; there should be only
enough to cook the peas in, which is
scarcely enough to cover them.
To Cook Young Carrots.-Wash and
scrape the carrots and cut in quarters
lengthwise; then holding the quarters
together place on board and cut
crosswise through the four quarters in
one-half inch pieces. Boil twenty min
utes or until soft in just enough water
to cover. They are very nice prepared
by the same recipe given for peas; and
just before serving add two teaspoon
fuls Of parsley finely minced to each
pint Of carrots.
Peas and Carrots.-One cup Of car
rots cut in small pieces as stated and
two cups Of shelled peas. Cook the
carrots and peas together until soft.
Drain; add four tablespoonfuls of
cream and one tablespoonful of butter,
one-half teaspoonful Of salt and one
eighth of teaspooonful Of pepper.
Heat over hot water and serve AZ soon
as hot.
Peas Served in Turnlp sheIIs,-Use
the fiat turnips for this dish and
choose them near of size. Wash and
pare the turnips and with sharp
knife scoop out the center, leaving a
shell one-half inch thick. Steam the
turnips and be careful not to overlook
them or they will fall to pieces. Put
folded napkin in the serving dish
and place the turnips on It; shake a
little salt and pepper over them, and
fill with cooked peas which have been
seasoned with butter, salt and pepper.
Do not waste the turnip which was
scooped out, but cook and mash it and
reserve for another meal.

To Wash Blue Duck.

To wash the child's blue duck suit,
shake it free Of all outer dust, then
dip it in cold water containing ox-gall
in proportion of a tablespoonful to a
gallon of water. Let the garment get
almost dry, drying 1t in the shade;
then wash it quickly in tepid water,
using borax soap, or If you have not
this, use very little pure white soap
wherever necessary to remove the
dirt, and add little borax to the wash
water. Rinse well, dry in the shade,
and iron while still damp, or at least
not thoroughly dry.

WHY cows STOOD IN WATER
Artistic Limitations Responsible for
Characteristic Attitude Of the
Humble Bovine.

In a north Of England town there
was shiftless man who would never
accept gifts outright, although he was
always depending on charity, says AL
Priddy in his book Through the
Mil" relates the Youths Companion.
He painted landscapes. and my aunt,
when benevolently inclined, would
hire him to decorate our walls with
rural scenes, highly colored in glaring
tints, as if nature had turned color
blind. Not one stood on the vivid
green hills.
"Jorvey," she remarked to the old
man, why do you always put the cows
in the water?"
Its this way, Mrs, Brindln," the old
artist responded. You see, ma'am, I
never learned to paint hoofs."
