BEST METHOD FOR CABBAGE
Culinary Expert Tells How the Veso
table May Be Served Up In Ap-
petizing Way.

Cabbage. and other vegetables that
form into heads. should be soaked In
cold water, heads down, to which
salt ora little vinegar has been added
This will drive out worms or insects II
any are in hiding among the leaves
Half an hour is long enough to allow
the vegetables to remain in the water.
Take one-nalf or one-quarter OF the
head Of cabbage. according to quantity
required. and shave it down fine, as Tor
slaw; put it in very cold water. enough
to just cover it, and let 1t stand until
crisp; pour off this water and add
fresh cold water to barely cover 1t ana
place over the fire; cover and bring
quickly to boiling; then remove cover
and boil rapidly until it begins to look
clear; pour off the water, season TO
taste with salt and pepper. add butter
generously tablespoonful to two cup
fuls of cabbage, and turn into heated
dish and serve. Hot cream, cream
sauce, sour cream sauce or cheese
sauce may be served with it. but 1t Is
very delicate and pleasing to the taste
served plain with butter and season
ing. If any is left over chill thorough
ly and serve as a salad with green
peppers or leftover string beans or
peas or fresh tomatoes, using French
dressing.-Lida Ames Willis.

Cheap Floor Stain.

A very inexpensive stain can be
made from burnt umber and hot wa
ter. Five cents worth of the burnt
umber will stain several floors; that is,
where a rug Is used for the center.
Pour the hot water over the burnt
umber, little at a time, till it is thor
oughly dissolved. Use a quart of hot
water to five cents worth of umber;
that makes pretty dark brown stain.
Let it dry, then rub on any good floor
wax and polish.

 In another article have outlined, too briefly. my philosophy of color and it's effects upon the wearer and those who gaze upon the wearer. The same truths hold in the lines of fashion.
 The ancient Greek woman was gracious. lovely. beautiful because, among other things. she suffered no external. dis-harmonies of garb to check these qualities from within. Of course I speak of the type that impressed itself upon the genius of the race and that gave the fruit of the Venus de Milo. the Winged vic- tory. the wonders of the Elgin mar bles and so on.

= HAVE been asked, What are the
 true lines of fashion? Are there A indeed any true lines?"
 I answer-"To doubt it is like doubting there is anything like har. mony."
 But, they say, this year there is one fashion in lines, last year there was another, next year there will be still another, and each will be diff. ferent. All of these cannot be the true lines. Which one is right?
 Then l know that those who ask really have in mind the hideous bustles. the spreading crinolines, the atrocious shoulder puffs and so on of other days.
 But these were excrescences. false leads, nightmare developments, which soon met their end. The true lines of fashion are very, very old ones. The Greeks knew them. The women of the Orient have known them for ages.
 Their secret is simple. They are the lines that will truly and best bring out the naturai and inherent beauty of the perfect woman figure. They are the lines that will hide or disguise any departure from the right mould of nature.
 They are not the lines that add the faintest grotesquerie or exag. geration to the figure.
 The body itself. the perfect body. can never be in bad taste. And so. therefore, the fashion which har. monizes and conforms to the lines of that body cannot be in bad taste. But anything that departs from it runs at once the risk of falsity, ugliness.
 The true lines of fashion must have first then-naiuralness Second

 You ask me, How is 1t possible for very fat woman to attain this ideal when her own body is inhaf- monious, or a very thin woman when she is equally essentially inharmo- nious?"
 To the first I answer: It is not at all necessary. except in a few cases of actual disease, to be fat In most women fat is the result of laziness, wrong eating or neglect. Any woman who has enough courage and will power can conquer her fat. The woman who hasn't enough of those two qualities is not the kind that has enough of the eternal strength in her to be true type. speak now, oi course, of the really extensively fat woman.

erable depth beneath the skin yield to the des. iccating treatment. The treatment, as upon the face. is not disfguring, there being no se- the expense and cumbersomeness of the neces- sary apparatus.
 No needle or knife is inserted into the growth to be removed. In fact the instrument does not come Into actual contact with the patients body. Following are some of the conditions reported by Dr. William L. Clarke to the Amer ican Medical Association as cured in this way: such as the tongue and inner surfaces of the lip the results of desiccation compare favor- ably with those obtained in localized skin can- cers. although there is not quite the same as. surance of success. because one cannot be sure that the adjacent glands are not involved
 In absolutely inoperable cases of cancer, whether p4 the skin or mucous membranes, the main growth may be desiccated. Some unex- pected good results have shown that this course is sometimes justified. As ordinary operations out of the question. such treatments at least delay the progress of the disease and add to the patients comfort.
 The desiccation treatment has been used with success in cases of lupus acne and varicose and other ulcers and meets with no resistance in the more common forms Of malignant skin eruptions.

woman. a woman built on heroic lines, who. though called fat by the minimizing, Is not fat at all. Such women lend themselves admirably to the true lines. Their only danger Is that the canvas is so large that there is more of a margin left for error. A little intelligent study will obviate this danger and give them their right harmonies.
 The very thin woman has an ad- vantage that the very fat woman has not. It is always easier to disguise the lack of certain physical qualities than 1t is to hide a superabundance of them. And it is easier to build up to a standard than it is to drill down to one.
 Nevertheless, 1t is important to know that there is standard, that the standard can be attained and that the matter of real beauty and taste rests on 50 simple a founda- tion.
