MARK UP ONE FOR LOUISIANA
According to Senator's Story, Grocery
man From That State Reached
Height of Calamity.

The conversation turned to gal
lantry, and Senator Joseph E. Rams
cell Of Louisiana rehectively smiled.
He said that few people could be so
gallant as a certain groceryman under
the same painful conditions.
Recently, according to the story told
by the senator, young woman weigh
ing about 225 pounds, was gracefully
waddling down the street when she
stepped on a banana skin in front OF
a grocery store
The banana skin being right on the
job, the young woman Immediately
began to fly in several directions at
the same time, and finally landed
large and plenty into a crate of fresh
country eggs.
How very unfortunate, madam!"
solicitously cried the groceryman,
rushing to her succor. Il trust that
you are not hurt"
mot the least bit, thank you," said
the young woman as she rose to her
feet. Il really hope that haven't
broken your eggs"
"Oh, no, madam, not at ALL" was
the gallant rejoinder Of the grocery
man. They are only slightly bent"

ADJOINING THE BATH TOWEL
Addition of an Initial and a croeheted
Edeing Add Greatly to Their
Appearance.

Heavy bath towels are made quite
attractive by the addition of an initial
and a crocheted edging, says the New
York Press. Embroider a A-inch in
.tial in the center of one end and then
-rochet the lace edging in this man
der:
Use a medium-size crochet needle
and, making the stitches close togeth-
er, crochet a row of single stitches
across the end. This acts as a founda-
lion for the design which is to follow.
Select a design somewhat similar to
those used by our grandmothers to
edge the pillow cases.

Wrench Expert Tells How u y Done
In HE country--of Course ZEE
the Only Way.

Probably no more bitter disputes
among gastronomers have ever risen
than that over the way to dress a
green salad. Here is the only way,
according to a Frenchman who is al
ways asked to perform the rites. as
his salads are delicious.
First Of all. the leaves should be
prepared properly for the bowl" he
says They seldom are over here.
,ach leaf should be looked over care
ully and any little faded spot re-
moved The leaves should be washed
in at least FIVE waters to make sure OF
,bsclute cleanliness. Then they should
be placed in a perfectly clean cloth
T1ther the cloth up by the four cor
ners and shake back and forth until
10 water sprays from the leaves. Place
he leaves wrapped loosely In this
cloth In the icebox until the salad
course has almost arrived. Then take
them from the cloth and dry each one
with a clean. dry cloth. Put them into
the bowl and take It to the table. The
person whose duty 1t is to dress the
salad should cut the leaves into
shreds. You'll never see green salad
served in my country in big leaves
Why is this? Because the dressing
cannot go evenly over big leaves the
way it can over shredded leaves.
First sprinkle your salt and pepper
on the leaves. Then mix thoroughly
with spoon and fork to distribute these
ingredients thoroughly. If a little
onion or garlic is to be used, now is
the time to slip the pieces in, stirring
them about we'll
Now your oil--not too much-just
enough to make every shred glisten
delicately.
Now your vinegar-and such lit
tie vinegar goes a great way! Vinegar
always after oil. Why? Because if put
on before it is impossible, with no
matter how much stirring, to make it
affect every morsel of the salad, as 1t
sticks to the leaves it falls upon But
dropped on after the oil has been thor
oughly mixed over the salad il dis
perses easily over the oiled surface of
the leaves.
With a pardon to my friends,
always taste bit of the salad before
passing it to them to make sure that
it has just the right flavor. Often in
doing this l find that a little more Of
this or that ingredient is needed"

night and stands in a cool place till
morning it may be handled far more
easily and with much less -four than
in the usual way. 1t makes delicious
waters to leave out the ground ginger
and add the preserved ginger finely
chopped instead.

and cool; add one-half cup softened
butter, one-half teaspoon each of
saleratus and salt, one teaspoon of
confectioner's ginger and pastry -four

'ouAD SOMETHING New
sy JOHN corrsR.

YES" admitted the girl with the
coat OF tan, II was at really stylish
resort. And I've had the best timel
They were perfectly wonderfully nice
to me-and they entertained continu-
ally.
Il dressed early the first day and
hurried down to the store after a
book on card games before the party
began, because l knew that I was
ignorant Of anything except old maid
and I've heard how they played
nothing but bridge whist and such
things. hated to appear like an
ignoramus.
We'll, by the time the party began
l had mastered the principal rules OF
bridge and 500, and kept repeating
them under my breath, for fear I'd
forget. But when they put out the Ia
bles and we we're gathered around
had them so mixed up that couldn't
think for the life of me which was

all my prospects Of a reputation for
having brainsl
Then what do you suppose? Boxes
and boards were laid for checkers! 1
was so relieved at first that couldn't
speak. OF course used to play check
ers when / was young, and l remem-
bered how, so / got along swimming
ly. / never dreamed of explaining
where I'd got my training and couldn't
imagine why they were all so sur
prised that l could beat occasionally.
Then at the next party l went to
we found after luncheon that domi-
noes was the game. Dominoes! Why,
/ used to beat even dad and mother at
dominoes when l was about eight. 1t
seemed like home, for l hadn't even
seen a domino since my early school
days.
Il won almost every game played.
You'd have thought had done some
thing marvellous from the way they
congratulated me! 1t was sort of en-
barrassing, for l thought they were
being just polite-and perhaps a little
sarcastic-to the guest of honor, and
l wasn't used to being lion!
Il tried to explain that it was moth
ing, that really couldn't help beating
when they all made it so easy, but l
hated to tell them that they were like
a lot of babies as far as adding and
subtracting were concerned or they'd
have been nearer my score. 1t seemed
unkind, not to say rude, to tell them
that I'd outgrown that easy game
years before! So had to accept the
beautiful prize as gracefully as pos
sible.
But when we got to the next party
and found on the beautiful inlaid card
tables tiddledywinks held my breath!
Tiddledywinks! Imagine! Why, I'd
shot tiddledywinks into the dish so
much that it was harder to miss than

ashamed, truly, to appear SO superior!
/ tried to miss, but somehow l
couldn't!
by that time was friendly enough
with some of the people to ask about
bridge and 500.
"My!' said my hostess, we're all
so tired of those old games! We've
had such q time finding something
new and original-and we're so de-
lighted with these that we've found!'
Eyes, those high and mighty persons
were really in earnest about my in
FAINT games! And they thought they'd
found something newt They had
passed their youth playing pingpong
and tennis and shuttlecock and bat
tledore. and ii they'd ever heard of the
common games they'd forgotten!
so I've come home quite satisfied.
I've dug out my old checker board
and I've bought a game OF tiddledy-
winks and a game Of dominoes, and
we play these old games all the time!
Dad looked on with amusement at
first, but now he has entered the con.
test, and we hardly stop to eat!
I'm so glad l went, because If
hadn't Id have been ashamed to be
caught playing these old games, and
they're perfectly fascinatingl

Start Your BABY

Regular BoUeI Movement
from Childhood on Fore
stalls Future Serious
Diseases

We can not all start life with the
advantages Of money, but every child
born Is entitled to the heritage of
good health. Through unfortunate
ignorance or carelessness in the feed
ing Of baby, its tiny stomach may
become deranged The disorder
spreads to the bowels and before the
mother realizes it the two chief or
gans on which the infants comfort
and health depend are causing It
great suffering. If the condition is
allowed to continue, grave ailments
often result.
There is, however. no occasion for
alarm, and the sensible thing to do
but it should be done instantly-is to
give the baby a small dose of a mild
laXative-to tonic. In the opinion of a
great many people, among them such
we'll known persons as the parents
of Dixie Dudley, Magnolia. Ark, the
proper remedy is Dr. Caldwells Syr-
up Pepsin. Mrs. Earl Dudley writes:
Or Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin is the

doctors failed; it cured my husband
Of constipation. My home shall never
be without Syrup Pepstn." 1t is a
pleasant tasting laxative, which every
person likes. 1t is mild, non gripping,
and contains that most excellent Of
all digestants, pepsin.
This remedy is especially intended
for infants, children, women, old peo-

cathartics, salt waters pills, etc, are
distressing. In fact in the common
