EXCELLENT WITH COLD MEAT
Chow-Chow One of the Least Exper.
sive and Most Popular Of the
Appetizers.

On cold meat days chow-chow
comes in very handy, taking the place
of a salad or more expensive appe-
tier. Enough of the pickle, too, can
be made for one dollar to last all
winter.
Chop one peck Of green tomatoes,
one-half peck of ripe tomatoes. six
onions, three small heads of cabbage,
one dozen green peppers, and three
red peppers, with the seeds of each
kind removed. Sprinkle with salt and
put in a bag coarse enough for the
liquid to drain through. Hang the
bag over a wide tin pan and let the
draining go on all night. In the morn
ing put the drained vegetables into
a porcelain-lined kettle with two
pounds of brown sugar, one-half tea
cupful of grated horseradish, and one
teaspoonful each of ground black pep
per, mustard, whole white mustard
seed, mace and celery seed. Cover
with good cider vinegar and boil till
clear. Seal hot in jars with tightly
fitting covers.

THAT LUNCH OUT OF DOORS
A Little Forethought VIII Do Much
to Add to the ENJOYMENT OF
the Affair.

Prepare everything you want chilled
at your picnic lunch the night before,
Do your sandwiches in oiled paper
and pack in a box. Put your salad
dressing in a can. Wet your prepared
salad material very slightly with
dressing in paraffine butter cases and
put your hard boiled eggs in their
shells in paper pals
Wrap each box, case, or pail, sepa-
rately in several thicknesses of news
paper and set on ice till morning
Also lay in several newspapers.
When packing the baskets in the
morning have one exclusively for
chilled foods.
Lay half the chilled papers in the
bottom of this basket. Pack all your
chilled packages in as closely as pos
sible and cover with the remainder of
the papers.
Arrived at the picnic grounds set
in steady place. Prepared in this
way food will keep perfectly cold for
at least six hours Your egg pals
make useful water pals.

EverIast Yeast.

A yeast that is always ready, in hot
weather or cold; in town or on the
farm, may be had, If at each baking is
saved a small quantity of the bread
sponge, before any salt has been used;
to this must be added about one-half
the same amount of sugar for a pre-
sentative. I have used the same yeast
in this way for two and one-half years
now, and it is as good as ever. Freez-
ing does not harm. No salt should be
used. If in warm weather it seems to
be without life, try it with little

right. This makes the finest possible

secrets. To do this freely is not
an evidence of intellectual strength
or activity. Alcohol again has a
specific effect on the nervous sys-
tenn as a disturber of accuracy. In
this lies the joy of wine, such as it
is. 1t has certain power to drive
dull care away, to erase from the
sad calendar the unborn tomorrow
and the dead yesterday, 1t has
also the power of causing the nerv-
GUS system to lie; as to make one
feel warm when he is not, to make
one feel good when he is not. The
nervous system once taught to lie,
afterwards fails to record the truth.
1t makes victim uncertain as to
what he sees or feels; hazy as to
the meaning of his sensations and
shaky when he carries his feeling
into action.
Let no man deceive himself
about alcoholic liquors. The man
who drinks brandy or wine, whisky
or beer, ought to bear in mind that
these drinks do not give strength,
but rather dissipate strength.
There are a great many people
who believe a moderate use OF
alcohol under certain circumstances
produces health and strength,
makes good flesh and builds up.
Indulgence in these drinks should
be classed as dissipation. They
souander strength. They do not
give strength at all. No man is
stronger for having taken a glass
of whiskey He may temporarily
feel strong. but the glass of whisky
has deceived him. He has taken
from the stock of vitality at an
exorbitant interest.

RUSH BROS. FINE
 ELECTRIC DISPLAY

One of the brightest and most at tractive exhibits at the 1912 state fair is the electrical display by Rush Bros, 936 Central avenue, by far the finest showing of electrical goods ever made in the city. It is an ex- ihibit which attracts not only for it's beautiful lights and electrical dec- oratioAs, but for its splendid house. hold and office utilitres, and the many labor saving devices which inventive genius has evolved in order to bring the power of electricity into practi- cal usage.
 The large booth has been fitted up with every conceivable kind of elec- trical appliance from light to power and labor saving utensils, and 0nder the full lgow of the myriad of white and colored lights it has proved one of the most attractive exhibits in. the building
 Showing prominently the beautiful electric chandeliers and domes, the exhibit comprises almost every in vention of practical use, including indirect lighting. the improved Mad ga lamps, electrical washing ma : chimes and wringers, sewing ma chine motors, electric and fireless cookers combined, ozonators, (air purifiers), vacuum cleaners, fans, motors. heating pads, chating dishes. coasters, hot water heaters grills, radiators, irons, Gall sizes). egg boil CTS, peTcolators, curling irons, tele- phones, static machines vibrators, medical batteries, flash lights, Christ mas tree decorations and all manner of electrical decorations and light effects.
 Until one inspects the complete display in the booth at the exposition building it does not seem possible that so many beautiful and useful things have been produced under the head of electrical goods, yet Rusn Bros, are showing practically full line of every manner of lighting. heating. power and decorating con trivances which are now operated by simply turning the litt'e electric but ton and letting the electricity do the rest.
 The exhibit is especially pleasing to the ladies on account of the vast number of household conveniences, and everyone should make it a point to visit the display. where these de- vices will be fully demonstrated.
