TRIPLES THAT MEAN ECONOMY

The familiar Waldorf salad made Of
apples, celery and nuts takes on a
new air if the ingredients are all
shredded instead of being cut in dice
shaped pieces or broken bits, II
pistachio nuts are ground fine and
sprinkled over the top the green adj
dition will add to the sightliness Of
the dish and the nuts themselves will
improve the flavor. II red is wanted
a few thin wedges of apple may re-

Roast turkey left from dinner
makes delicious salad, mixed with Gel
cry seasoned with capers and dressed
with mayonnaise. The usual direc-
lions call for equal parts OF meat and
celery, but there is no hard and fast
rule. The amount of the meat on
hand and the taste of the family are
strong considerations.
Two towels sewed together on two
sides and one end, the top turned

Fish a la Orleans.

Any kind of large fish may be used.
Season fish well and boil it until it
can be pulled apart in small pieces
Put layer of fish, then beets, pitted
olives and capers in mold, and con-
tinue thus until the mold is full. Soak
a quarter of a box of gelatine in
enough cold water to dissolve it, then
pour the hot liquor, in which the fish
has been boiled, on it until the gela-
tine is all dissolved, then pour as
much liquor into the mold as 1t will

out of mold and serve on lettuce with

GLAZED NUTS EASILY MADE
Winter DeIicacy That Is Popular With
Both Old and Young and
Not Costly.

A dainty for the winter table that
may be prepared at home with little
cost is glazed nuts. Various kinds Of
nuts may be glazed excepting peanuts,
which are not especially good for that
treatment, but none is better than
hickory nuts and butternuts.
Have the meats picked from the
shells. Boil granulated sugar with
enough water to thoroughly dissolve
it, stirring it as little as possible.
When it spins a thread stir in the
nuts and let them cook very little,
for if left too long on the stove the
oils will be drawn from the nuts. Pour
out on platters, spreading them thin
ly, and when cold they will be found
to separate easily.
Nuts prepared this way are very
nice mixed with homemade candy,
About onc-half cup of sugar is sutii'
cient for cle-half pint of nuts.

DOESN'T HOLD GOOD TODAY
Rarnum Idea That People Delight In
Being Humbugged RELOCATED to
Scrap Pile.

But a few years ago the popular
idea of advertising was a method for
catching tho public. In these days
the average advertiser regarded the
buyers as so many suckers; the
business of advertising didn't take
honesty and integrity into account
The old idea, to which a few still
cling, was summed up by Rarnum.
who said, "the people like to be hum,
bugged." Those who still advertise
with the idea that the people delight
in being humbugged have confused
notoriety and advertising, and they
have put low estimate on the intel
ligence of the people.
The idea that the people delight in
being humbugged, the idea that ad-
vertising consists in catching the peo-
pie and the idea that a successful
business can be established on false
pretense, have been relegated to the
scrap pile along with lot of other
old-fogy ideas which were designed
to confuse the people while their
pockets were being searched, says
the Lafayette Qnd) Journal.
Modern advertising has been placed
on a business basis-on an honest
basis-on scientific basis. Certain
elements of value enter into its max
ing and the advertiser who has stud
led the subject knows that advertis-
ing Is not a matter of chance. II
six inch advertisement costs a Ger.
tain amount that cost must be backed
by a certain amount of circulation,
proved and sworn to, and the adVer-
tiser knows that the circulation is
OF value to him. Scientific adver-
Using is the only way, because it
gives to the advertiser exact knowl-
edge as to what he is buying. A
successful merchant believes that
he should be equally honest in deal
ing with the public. The publisher
who builds right should apply the
honesty test to his advertising space,
just as the merchant who has grown
away from the idea of humbugging
the people, demands honesty in his
advertising expressions.
Advertising space is business
commodity, the value of which is de-
termined as definitely as any com
modify that enters into the mer.
chants business. Rules governing the
value of advertising space, are SO
well defined that there is no reason
for mistaking its worth and no
occasion for expecting it to be dis.
counted.
For many years advertising space
was misunderstood, misrepresented
and. greatly abused. But demands OF
the business world have made it the
most exact commodity of the mar
ket. The scientific basis on which it
has been placed Is a part of the
modern advertising plan, a business
plan that contemplates honest deal
ing. The merchant who puts honesty
into his advertisements is endorsed
by the newspaper or publication that
applies the same principle to it's adj
Vertising rates, and the newspaper or
publication that recognizes the square
deal and sells its space on the basis
of worth should be endorsed by the |
merchant who is doing business on +,
that basis.

Many housekeepers do not know
that there is a simple way to prevent
potatoes from burning and sticking
to the bottom of the pot. An inverted
pie pan placed in the bottom OF the
pot avoids scorching potatoes. The
water and empty space beneath the
pan save the potatoes. This also
makes the work Of cleaning pots
easier, as no adhering parts of pota-
toes are left to be secured out.-Popu-

An Advertisement and An EditorIs

Al advertisements ara An EDITORIAL.
In the current issue of Judicious
Advertising is an advertisement which
says:
You can talk to all classes, all the
people, all the time, only by using
street car advertising"
And on another page is an editorial
which says
The most interesting thing to an
advertiser is to know who reads the
publication-who will see the message
he prepares with such care. Are the
subscribers and readers persons who
will not only be interested in the
message, but will be able and willing
to buy what he offers for sale? Be-
cause unless this be the case it is
foolishness for an advertiser to spend
time and money in sowing seed on
unfertile ground"
The editorial is right. The adver-
tiser does not want to talk to "all"
classes. He wants to talk to the buy
ing classes; that's what he pays for.
