The Same Thing.

Vincent Aston, at a dinner in New
Cork, said of the French evening
gowns that have caused SO many
shocked women to unite in protest:
II heard story about one of these
gowns. A headstrong girl had pur-
chased 1t in the Rue de la Paix with
out her mothers knowledge, and she
insisted on wearing 1t, the evening 1t
came home, at Armenonville for din
ner and at the opera afterwards for
the Russia ballet. Her mother, how
ever, protested. But the girl, in her
headstrong way, declared:
"I'll wear that gown or nothing
with shrug and faint smile,
her mother answered:
"'Well, it comes to about the same
thing"

seasonings to taste.
Thousand Isle Dressinq-From the
number of salad dressings bearing this
name one must be named for each
island. The dressing is a simple
French dressing as above with the adj
dition of chopped onion, celery, pep
pers with some catsup; in fact, any
thing may be added and named q
Thousand Isle dressing.
Heliofolis Salad - Cut celery In
small bits and marinate in French
dressing. Pare an apple and cut in
sixteenths, then in thin slices and also
marinate. Parboil green pepper, cut
in strips and let 1t stand in oil dress
ing. Peel small tomatoes and cut In
tulip form, marinate them. Then
serve each vegetable on separate let
tuce leaves arranged on a plate and
garnish with the green pepper. Or
the pepper may be served on sepa-
rate leaf also.
Asparagus tips cooked until tender,
marinated in oil dressing and served
in red or green pepper ring on let
tuce, make a most attractive salad.
The flavor gives point to salad, 1t
must be subtle and elusive, yet highly
satisfactory. If the delightful element
cannot be identified, so much the bet

of mint, a Glove of garlic, in fact. the
true salad maker is hampered by no
preconceived notions.
Bean and Nut Cutlets-Take two
cupfuls of lima beans, onehalf cupful
of black walnuts, as they are richer In
fat than the English, two tablespoon
fuls of crumbs, one of butter. Rub the
beans through sieve, add the nuts
chopped, salt and butter melted mixed

KEEPING REFUSE FROM MILK
Several Advantages Seen In Invention
Of Illinois Man-HoIder Pro-
jects From Seat.

An Illinois man has designed a milk
ing stool that has several distinct ad-
vantages over the old style. One Of
these advantages Is revolving seat,
which enables the mixer to turn easily
IN any direction. But the chief feature
is the holder for the pail that receives
the milk. This holder consists of a
circular platform that projects from
beneath the seat on curved arm. 1t
supports the pail six or eight inches
above the ground and the advantage
of this is at once apparent to any one

once a place is infested and no brood
coop or colony house is safe without
eternal vigilance. Keep setting hens

Of coal oil and lard make good
ointment to kill all kinds OF lice on
fowls. But greasing baby chicks is
an emergency treatment and should
be avoided as much as possible. When
resorted to, the work should be done
late in the afternoon, as the sunshine
on creased skin will cause 1t to blister.

EFFECT OF OATS ON FLAVOR
interesting Experiments Conducted by
Department Of Agriculture on
Feed Given Cows.

The department of agriculture re-
Gently reported the result of expert
ments to test the effect Of oats on
the flavor of milk. These expert
ments showed that oats do not have
the beneficial effects on the flavor OF
milk which many dairymen believe.
But as corn and bran constituted the
ration tested against oats, the public
has gained the impression erroneous
ly that the department recommends
the feeding of corn and bran to i'm
prove the flavor of milk. OF fifty
opinions expressed regarding the
flavor of the samples, twenty-five pre-
ferred the milk from cows fed corn
and bran. AS sixteen preferred the
milk from cows fed oats and nine ex-
pressed no choice, it does not appear
that either ration has any decided adj
vantage over the other There can
be no great superiority in the bran
and corn when one-half of the opin-
ions were either Indifferent or were
In favor of the other milk. In view
OF these experiments the department
does not recommend the feeding OF
bran and corn to improve the favor
of milk. Oats, corn, alfalfa, hay, cot
tonseed meal, linseed meal, bran, glu-
ten and other good feeds for dairy
COWS when properly fed In reason
able amounts produce fine-flavored
milk, but there is no substantial evil
dence that any one of them is su.
perior to any of the others in this
respect.
The relative prices OF the different
feeds will determine in most cases
which are to be preferred in making
up ration for dairy cows.
