SUNDAY NIGHT TEA.

A dainty and nice little salad to pre-
pare for q night lunch Is dates and
cottage cheese. The cheese should be
well seasoned and arranged on lettuce
leaves, with three or four dates care
fully stoned and washed and arranged
on the cheese. No salad dressing will
be needed with such a salad.
Figs and nuts ground together In
a food chopper and seasoned with a
bit OF salt and moistened with Ia
blespoonful OF cream makes a fine fill
ing for sandwiches. For refreshing
spring sandwich nothing tastes better
than sliced cucumbers with a bit OF
onion juice and lemon on bread and
butter.
Chopped green onions, seasoned
with oil, vinegar and salt, make an
other good sandwich filling. A cup of
hot cocoa on chilly night is most ac-
for simple meal.
After late heavy Sunday dinner, q
very light lunch Is best. For those
who are not satisfied with that, q
heavier dish, such as sliced roast OF
beef with Mexican or Spanish sauce.
or an escalloped dish of eggs, maca-
ronni and cheese and white sauce will
be found quite satisfying enough.
Milk toast, made of nicely toasted
and buttered bread and a white sauce
Of rich milk or thin cream. Is an espe-
cially good supper for little people.
A hot soup on a cold night warns
one and isYa good beginning for q
light supper,
For older ones the addition OF
grated cheese will be pleasing, and
they will not find it hard of digestion.
Small cakes of many kinds. with
a dish OF canned fruit, is another good
accompaniment with other things for
a supper.
Spong cakes cut open and filled with
sweetened and favored whipped
cream are never refused by old or
young. and this is one cake the young
sters like and are not injured by eat
ing.
Sardlne and PImola Sandwiches
Mix twelve boned and skinned sar-
dimes with a tablespoonful of chopped
stuffed olives or pimolas. add a ia
blespoonful Of lemon juice and use
for filling between buttered slices of
white bread.

BASEBALL PITCHER
SAVES Boys LIFE.
Sends Gift and Good Wishes to
Sick Youth In Washington.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. A. Slice. thir-
teen years old, owes his life to a letter
and a baseball from his idol, Walter
Johnson, pitcher of the Washington
baseball team.
Ever since Warren has been old
enough to go to baseball games he has
looked with awe on Walter johnson.
several weeks ago he became III with
appendicitis, and an operation was
necessary Physicians said they did
not think he would recover. The boy
was delirious part of the time and
talked incoherently about Walter John
son. When the team came back from
Its western trip member of the Slice
family told Mr.. Johnson of the situa-
ton.
Physicians said they could not per
init the pitcher to see the boy for fear
the excitement would be fatal. So
the pitcher sent letter and a baseball
used In one of his victorious games In
the west. Here Is the letter:
My Dear Warren-I take pleasure in
sending you herewith one OF the basebalIs
used on our western trip and hope that
you VIII soon have the opportunity OF
using 1t with your friends
There was a change for the better
at once, and Warren will be able to
leave the hospital soon. When he does
he Intends TO go to Mr.. Johnson's hotel
to thank him.

Remedy For Burns.

A mixture of castor oil with the
white OF egg has been recommended
for burns. 1t allays the pain more
quickly and causes the wound to heal
more rapidly than any other applica-
ton. The eggs are broken and emptied
into a bowl, and the castor oil gradu-

eggs are beaten. Enough oil is added
to make thick, creamy paste, which
Is applied to the burn with a feather

He cites the case of a thirteen-year-
