SOME LUNCHEON DISHES.

These dishes are suitable Tor e1tner
luncheon or supper:
When there are bits of leftover
chicken (not enough for a meaD pre-
pare it by cutting it in small pieces,
add to a white sauce and a cupful OF
tender cooked celery. Serve Oh
rounds of buttered toast.
When there are few slices OF colo
roast pork left from dinner, chop anu
mix with equal parts OF celery, auo
dressing and serve on lettuce leaves
Veal and lamb are equally goou
served in this way.
Milk toast is a most delicious olsh
for supper. Prepare the toast not
later than five minutes before serV-
ing; dry it in the oven until hot, theh
toast a golden brown; dip the edges
into hot water to soften, spread gem
erously with butter and pour over
white sauce made of two tablespoon
fuls each of butter and flour cookeo
together and a cup of thin cream or
rich milk added Two cups Will be
needed for large dish OF toast. A llt-
tie grated cheese of pronounced naVor
grated over the dish just before serV-
ing adds to it.
Bits of bacon left from breakfast
added to white sauce and served
with poached eggs is a change that IS
quite acceptable from the everyday
poached eggs.
The old-fashioned Goldfish served In
good white As4ce with steamed or
baked potatoes is a dish which most
enjoy.
If one has a little cold boiled ham
chop 1t and add it to a thick white
! sauce, which may be used to cover
broiled chops; then fry in deep rat
and serve piping hot. The chop VIII
need to be treated to egg and crumbs
as are CroquetteS.
Fish chowder is another dish when
may be served at almost any meal
except breakfast.
Hash served in mounds with a
poached egg on each is nice way to
serve both of these common dishes.
Potatoes scalloped and seasoned
with cheese or mixed with hard
cooked eggs varies that time-honored
dish. The addition OF a few fresh
mushrooms is relished by most

nowadays with a CRATE or fireplace of
some kind in the front part of the
house where it may be used when
wanted.
When the country was new and peo-
pie were obliged to heat their houses
with fireplaces, or freeze, they got
very tired of them so that when stoves
were invented fireplaces were consid-
cred a back number; but the human
race has been accustomed to an open
fire from the time when fire was first
brought down from the clouds. In all
these centuries the comfort of an open
fire has been bred into the marrow of
our existence until it has become
second nature to enjoy it.
We would not like to go back to a
fireplace as the only means of heating
the house, but as an auxiliary heater
1t never has had nor never will have
an equal. 1t adds more to the comfort,
cheerfulness and sociability of the

PiCkLiNG TIME.

Every frugal housekeeper likes to
have her shelves we'll stocked with
good things for the winter. Today
one may buy such good canned goods

We prepare each year. The following

BATS TO FIGHT MOSQUITOES
Texas Man Believes He Has Found a
Way to at Least Reduce the Plague
of the insects.

There IS a man in Texas who has
quito. His name is DR.. Charles r.
Campbell. He is official bacteriologist
Of the city Of San Antonio. His idea,
says writer in the Technical World
Magazine. is to employ bats as mos
quito fighters. The neighborhood Of
San Antonio is especially plagued by
mosquitoes-malaria is more or less
rife in that vicinity-and for long
time past the inhabitants of the mu-
nicipality and it's suburbs have eager
ly sought to find solution of the
problem. Much benefit has been OBJ
tanned by keeping minnows in cisterns
and ponds-these small fishes being
greedy devourers of mosquito larvae
but such measures have not alto
gether met requirements.
Bats, as Is we'll known, are insect
eaters, and are particularly fond of
mosquitoes. In the twilight, where
they rove around, they devour i'm.
mense numbers of the pestiferous in
sects-their manner being to dash
back and forth through a swarm and
gobble the victims up by wholesale.
In view of which fact it occurred to
DR.. Campbell that it might be good
idea to establish in and about San
Antonio a number of bat roosts," as
he calls them-that is to say, struc-
lures so contrived as to invite bats
for sleeping purposes. He has already
put up two of them, and proposes to
erect others, those already in opera
ton having proved highly successful

PUNISH FALSE ADVERTISERS
Misrepresentation Of Goods and Prices
Serious Offense in Germany-Law
Covering Such Cases.

False representation in advertising
Is serious offense over in Germany,
and is punishable by fine for the first
offense and by fine and Imprisonment
for succeeding offenses. For that
reason merchants in the Fatherland
are careful not to put extravagant val
ues on goods that are not worth the
price quoted
That part of the law covering such
cases provides that:
Whoever with intent to call forth
the appearance of an especially advan-
tageous offer shall In public announce
ments or communications intended for
larger circle of persons, as touching
business relations, especially as touch
ing the character, origin, manner OF
production, or the fixing of the price
of goods or industrial products, the
manner of acquisition, or the sources
of supply of goods, the possession OF
marks Of distinction. the motive or
purpose of sale, or the abundance of
supplies, shall knowingly make false
representations tending to mislead. Is
liable to Imprisonment up to one year
and to money penalty up to 5000
marks or to one of these punish
ments."
When a person is found guilty a
fine Of 5000 marks ($1.190) is i'm
posed for the first offense; for the
second offense a fine of 5000 marks.
or Imprisonment up to one year; and
for the third offense the guilty party is
invariably sent to prison for term
not exceeding one year.
In addition . to fine and imprison-
ment, a person convicted of false ad-
vertisement is obliged to insert an ad-
vertisement In certain number OF
newspapers stating that he has been
convicted of unfair competition. Usu-
ally he is required by the Judge to in
sert the advertisement in at least 20
papers, and sometimes in as many as
100. The judge usually dictates the
text of the advertisement and speci-
fies the papers in which 1t shall be in

POOR TYPE or BUSINESS MAN
"Near Merchants" That Are a Constant
Menace to Others-Lack Training
and Enterprise.

There Is a certain class Of mer-
chants to which the term "near-mer-
chant" very fittingly applies. writes e.
Newland Haynes, in the Southern
Furniture Dealer. They are getting
nothing out of business themselves
and are permitting no one else to.
They might be very aptly termed
tired merchants, meaning those who
have left other occupations and taken
up merchandising with the idea that
here is easy work and easy money.
The lack of previous training OF this
class, together with it's almost invart-
able over-estimate of it's own business
ability, is responsible for many of the
shoals and sand bars of business navi-
cation. If there is, as some econo-
mists assert. an over-supply OF retail
merchants, this oversupply is caused
by the mistaken idea of the public that
merchandising Is soft snap.
We all know this type of merchant.
When he launches into business 1t is
with most breezy disregard for such
trife as running expenses. 1t in
tors are getting exorbitant profits. or
else that they are better buyers. His
goods are in consequence marked on
the wrong basis, and since he - I'M
bued, as this class invariably is, with
the idea that price-cutting Is the one
way to get business, his prices are ad-
ditionally low besides.
When that store is opened there Will
probably be the usual curiosity
crowd" and those low prices will draw
some business and cause lot or talk'
and the dead beats will swarm to that
store like vutures around good pick
ing. This temporary furry makes the
novice think he has captured the bust
ness of the town; his competitor IS
on the run, he thinks; he assumes
condescending and supercilious air
that is decidedly irritating to his com
petitors But if they are wise they
won't get mad. Experience will make
him tame long enough to eat out OF
hand before long.
In the meantime business is dis
turbed; the other dealers are able to
hold their trade on account or their
better acquaintance with 1t. and also
because OF their better assorted
stocks: but because prices are de-
moralized except on those goods pro-
tected by exclusive agencies, The dlf-
ficulty is that it Is next to Impossible
to ever get those prices back again 10
fair level. even should the other 1ei-
low ever come to his senses.
The trouble with so many of those
fellows Is that they never became
thoroughly "way-wised;" are not dis
posed to work with their competitors
for the common good and their rude
awakening to the worries of business
makes them sullen and tempery, and
they are easily provoked by the repre-
sentations of customers into bootless
trade war.
This class goes and comes. Few
learn business and become good mer-
chants, but the majority at the most
where they continue in business. are
only hanging on by their teeth, gain
ing little for mselves and acting as
constant menace to the prosperity
of others.

ORIGIN OF THE FLAG.
stars and Stripes Traced to ArmoriaI
Bearings of the Washingtons.

London. Feb. 22.-Rev. d. Solloway.
vicar of Selby abbey, makes known
the discovery of q new armorial shield
of the Washingtons and Standish fam
lilies which seems to set at rest all
doubt as to the origin of the stars and
stripes.
This new shield, which DR.. Solloway
found in the ancient parish church in
his native town of Chorley, in Linca-
shire, contains in the quarter devoted
to the Washington arms distinct white
stars and white stripes on a red back
ground. The shield is that of Alexan-
1870. In the lower part of the shield
are the arms of his wife, Margaret
Ashton together with the Washington
arms showing that the ancestors of
Miles Standish were related to the
Washington family.
The Washington arms found in
Chorley differ from those discovered
by DIR. Solloway in Selby abbey last
year in the fact that the stars as well
as the stripes are distinctly shown and
that the bars are white on a red back
ground which is the reverse of those
usually represented on the Washington
coat Of arms The difference. how
ever, is well known to heraldic stu
dents.
The new Washington
shell was first found by DR.. Solloway
in. a stained glass window of the
church Subsequently he found its
duplicate on the Standisl pew, beau
tifuI one of Jacobean design. which
still remains in the ancient edifice.
