VOU have never heard of Newsum, for he

ample of the hustle and enterprise of the
new South. Newsum-whose other name is
unknown to fame-deas in automobile tires.
When the war broke out and the cotton
planters were unable to market their staple
for ready cash, Newsum grasped opportunity
by the forelock, swung himself into the meta
phorical saddle and rode to financial victory
How? BY simply accepting warehouse re-
ceipts for cotton an equivalent for cash.
And as a result OF his faith in human nature
he placed 100000 new business on his books
in few weeks. Now he is advertising for
another 100000 in the way of trade, and from
indications he will get it.
All of which may be hint to our local

LNROM Ostend comes letter detailing
l. bit of war history which makes interesting
reading, though utterly devoid of gore. An
American and his wife were visiting the
famed resort when the war broke out.
Checks, letters of credit, even Belgian bank
notes were refused in payment of debt The
American had just eight francs in gold, and
hunger was staring him and his mate in the
face-as well the onrushing Germans.
Down the beach they wandered, disconsolate-
ly. Soon they came face to face with the
brightly lighted Kursaal, where roulette and
rouge ct noir in vogue. So they de-
cded TO risk their all in one desperate tus-
sic with luck.
But the sign Admission Ave francs faced
them. The wife dug deep down in her
pocketbook and fshed out a franc piece,
placed there for eventuaities They went in
and placed their eight francs on No. 2s
They received 80 to one for their money
and lived on the gambled fortune until they
could get out Of the war zone.

Intelligent Use Of ests1

It is almost universally admitted that
vegetables require the addition of fat
In order that they may be at their best,
and there is no fat which Is SO suitable
as butter for the majority of vege-
tables. judged by the character of the
dish and also by its flavor.
Some housekeepers have a way of
looking upon the use of butter, milk
and cream In the preparation of vege-
tables, soups and sauces as If these In
gradients were simply 'luxuries' and
not food essentials. But 1t should be
remembered that these articles are
valuable foods and naturally increase
the food value of the dish OF which,
they form a part They are all whole
some foods. and, although generally
more expensive than the vegetable
foods with which they are combined,
their use In reasonable quantities Is
certainly to be recommended.
Increasing the cost Of the dish by the
free use Of butter, cream, etc., may,
after all, be economy If the increase Is
intelligently made, and the vegetable
soups and purees made richer as well
as more appetizing by the addition Of
butter or cream combined with small
er quantities of meat.
