Horse Radish

Man tries his best to come
across with some delightful,
piquant sauce, which will add zest
to things we eat, to all divers
kinds of meat. The plutocrat
spends many dimes for sauces
brought from foreign climes, the
formulas of which I'm told, are
guarded carefully as gold. Ten
thousand chefs still strive and
strain, and torture what they have
of brain. some fine new condi-
ment to spring, that would bring
plaudits from a king. Dame Ma
ture gives that noble fruit, the ex-
cellent horseradish root, which,
grated when it's strong and fresh,
while all its vim is in its flesh, and
with some vinegar then stirred,
makes all your sauces seem abb
surd.' l buy a bottle for a dime,
and have a condiment sublime.
/ draw the cork, there rushes out,
a fine aroma. strong and stout,
that fairly lifts me from my feet,
and makes me strangle and re-
peat. Horseradish on a slice of
beef. 1t makes man forget his
grief. and stirs his sluggish ap-
petite until he longs to eat all
night. There's nothing else that's
half as good: though all inventors
living should for centuries their
skill employ, to make sauce that
is joy, exhausting every art and
shift, they'd never beat Dame
Natures gift.

Harrison Pratt. He also owns a group
of dilapidated tenements, in which
most of of his employees live. DR.. Jor-

struck with the prevalence of tuber-

the insanitary working conditions in
the Pratt potteries and the unhealthy
