How II Eeoan,

"Stephen," said Mrs. Masters across
the supper table, Il almost had a
quarrel With Mrs. Johnston today"
About the cat?" he asked.
No, sir. 1t was about a name. Our
troops landed in Mexico, didn't they?'
They did"
AT what placer"
Why, at Very Kruzz-z, Of course"
Mrs. Johnston calls 1t Wehary

Then she's fool!"
That's what / almost told her.
There is but one proper way of pro-
nouncing the name"
"Of course and that is the way
pronounced it."
No. it is not, Stephen. 1t is pro-
nounced as if spelled, 'Wa-har.ry
Krouz.'"
You are as big fool as Mrs. John.

It's you who are the fool"
At that moment their daughter. a
high school pupil, came in, and being
told the cause of the riot, she said:
You are all wrong. The name is
pronounced: 'Viehara Cruisahp"
And then the American marines
landed and took possession of the
city!

WASH THE CELERY STALKS
Advice Given by the Department of
Agriculture Should Be Needed
by Every Housewife.

Since the United States Department
OF Agriculture has discovered that it
is practically impossible to bring sat
isfactory celery to market unless the
plants have been sprayed with Dor
deaux mixture, or the salts of copper
declared injurious for use in food prod
ucts, two warnings have been issued,
one to the housewives telling them to
wash the celery before using it, and
the other to the farmers telling them
that the danger in using this blight
preventative was due to a faulty
spraying apparatus. 1T should be
spread at high pressure to make fine
mist instead of in a stream which set
ties on the leaves and runs down the
stalks. In this way it settles in the
roots and is not washed away by the
rain, giving the celery blue look.
However, even If the spray is prop
erly used the department of agricul-
ture advises the consumer to break
the punches and wash and scrub the
stalks before they are eaten. Chem
ical analysis proves that his cleans
ing removes nearly all the copper
left by the spray and prevents injury
to those eating the celery.

Sadie was not at her post. The girls

was found wandering on the street,
and, oh! in such a state. They ar
rested her, and put her in a cell,
charged as being a common drunk.
Her folks sent her word she must
never come there again. The man
ager sent her notice that she was dis
charged"
Every girl who reads this should
beware of the lure of the dance, the
midnight hour and wine. No working
girl can afford to make such a de-

the duties for which her employer is
