SAVE BOTH TIME AND LABOR
Casserole Dishes Should Be Constant.
ly in the Mind of the Housewife
in the Summer.

The long list of casserole dishes
are among the time and labor savers
of the summer housewife. With ev-
erything cooked in and served from
the same dish, table service, as well
as dishwashing, is reduced to the min
imum, while even a commonplace pre-
paration is given a bit of elaboration
by this process.
In the same practical category be-
longs the attractive serving of an oc-
casional planked dish, surrounded by
an alternating variety Of vegetables.
While in reality the meat or fish SO
served may have been broiled in the
regulation way, it gains much in ap-
pearance if served in imitation of a
planked dish, occupying the center OF
a large platter with the vegetables as
a border. Mounds of mashed potato
or boiled rice, alternating with mounds
of some fresh vegetable, are quite
sufficient, although more variety is
easily possible. Vegetables served in
this way make an attractive garnish,
at the same time lessening the num-
Der of dishes required on the table.

SORROWS OF YE RURAL EDITOR

Consider the editor. He weareth
purple and fine linen. His abode is
amongst the mansions of the rich.
Lo! All the people breaketh their
necks to hand him money. A child
is born unto the wife of a merchant
in the bazaar. The physician getteth
ten golden plunks. The editor writ
eth a stick and a half and telleth the
multitude that the child tippeth the
beam at nine pounds. Yet, he lieth
even as a centurion. And the proud
father giveth him a cigar.
Behold, the young one groweth up
and graduateth. And the editor put
teth into his paper a swell notice.
He telleth of the wisdom of the young
woman land of her exceeding come
illness. Like unto the roses of Sha-
ron is she and her gown played up to
beat the band. And the dressmaker
getteth two score and four iron men.
And the editor getteth a note of
thanks from the S. G. G..
The daughter goeth a journey. And
the editor throweth himself on the
story of the farewell party. 1t run
meth a column solid. And the fair
one remembereth him from afar with
a picture postal card that costeth a
sixth part of a jitney.
Behold, she returneth and the
youth of the city fall down and wor-
ship. She pickett one and 10, she
pickett a lemon. But the editor cal
leth him one of our most promising
young men and getteth away with it.
And they send unto him a bid to the
wedding feast and behold, the bids
are fashioned by Muntgummery and
Hawbuck, in a far city. Flowery
and long is the wedding notice which
the editor printeth. The minister
getteth ten bones. The groom stand
eth the editor off for a 12-month sub
scription.
All flesh is grass and in time the
wife is gathered into the silo. The
minister getteth his bit. The editor
printeth a death notice, two columns
of obituary, three lodge notices, a
cubit of poetry and a card of thanks.
And he forgetteth to read proof on
the head, and the darned thing COM
eth out "Gone to Her Last Roasting
Place"
And all that are akin to the deceas-
ed jumpeth on the editor with exceed
ing great jumps. And they pulleth
out their ads and cancelleth their SUBJ
scriptions and they swing the ham
mer unto the third and fourth gener-
ations.
Canst thou beat it?-Exchange.

QUICK. DAINTY DISHES
By Seeing That a Few Requisites Are
Always in the Larder, Housewife
Need Never Be at a Loss-Eggs
Always Mainstay.

Often time is more valuable thar
money, in the home as well as in bust.
ness. For instance, if unexpected
lunch hour on the day you had tolo
the cook you would like nothing but
a biscuit and a glass of milk you
would probably count the expenditure
of a little money no extravaganza II
by spending it you could spread forth
an attractive luncheon for your
guests. Where there are good deli
catessen shops and caterers in the
neighborhood they reap the reward
of your desire to save time at the ex-
pense of money. But where these
popular aids to quick housekeeping do
not exist, it is necessary to make up
for their lack by having a larder
furnished with supplies that car be
quickly converted into dainty dishes
for the unexpected meal.
Eggs can always be quickly turned
into an omelet, made savory with the
addition of minced ham or chicken,
parsley or a little jelly just before it
is turned. A baked omelet, too, with
cooked macaroni or cooked green peas
or asparagus heads added, is good.
And a plain omelet served with a
sauce of tomatoes and sweet green
peppers simmered together with wat
er or a little stock until tender, is
good enough to serve as the main dish
of a light summer luncheon.
If there is cold meat in the pantry
it can be minced, mixed with a little
mayonnaise and converted thus into
the filling for tempting sandwiches.
Or it can be minced, simmered with a
little chopped pepper, tomato or par
sley, and served On crisp rounds of
toast. Or it can be cut into neat
dice, mixed with half the quantity of
diced celery, or a quarter of its guam
tity of sweet green pepper, cut in
small pieces, and moistened with
mayonnaise for salad-with or with
out lettuce or some other salad green,
which may not be on hand.
For dessert, anything cool is ac-
ceptable on a warm day. Whatever
fruit there is can be cut into neat
bits, mixed with a little shaved ice,
sweetened and favored to taste, and
piled into sherbet glasses. If there
is no fruit, perhaps there are the in
gradients for a whip. To make this,
beat the whites of eggs stiff, sweeten
with two or three t~easpoonfuls of su-
gar for each white and flavor with
anything on hand-prune juice and
pulp, grape juice, a little melted jel-
ly or canned fruit juice, fresh straw
berries or black raspberries, crushed
orange juice and pulp or eve cocoa,
when nothing else is at hand. Serve
daintily, very cold, in long-stemmed
glasses. A sweetened omelet makes
a good dessert, Whipped cream on
bits of plain cake is good. Mullins
from breakfast followed out and fill
ed with custard, then topped with
whipped cream, give little suggestion
of their origin and are satisfying, to
make up for any deficiencies in the
preceding courses.

A great deal of trouble may be saved

Face POWDER
INJURIES Eyes

ONE preparations Of face-powder are
the cause Of Inflammation of the
eyes. This form of Inflammation oc-
curs-from obvious reasons-almost e1-
clusfvely in women. They complain that
the vision is blurred; that they cannot
read or sew for any length Of time:
that the lids burn and itch, sometimes
intolerably, and that rubbing the lids
only aggravates the itching The reason
for this is that many of these toilet pow
ders, commonly known as rice powder"
contain, in addition to the rice powder.
other ingredients which irritate the deli
cate membranes of the eye.
Sixteen samples of so-called rice DOW
ders were recently analyzed, and of this
number only two consisted entirely of
rice; and only six contained any rice at
all. Women who are accustomed to using
face powder should be careful to select
only those preparations which are
known to be pure. and free from harmful
substitutes.
In applying powder to the face, it is
much safer to use a cloth and rub the
powder on the skin, than to apply it with
a puff, as by the latter method the pow
der is driven upward and lodges on the
moist eyeball. The tears change it into
a mucilaginous substance which lodges
behind the eyelids, and produces the
symptoms complained Of.

WabbIing of North
Pole Now Blamed
for Earthquakes

r HAT the ''wabbling" of the north
POLE may be responsible in some
cases for earthquakes is the latest
theory advanced by scientists for an up
heaval of the earth's surface.
Recent study of these polar aberra-
tions has demonstrated that the axis is
constantly moving about in a spiral
course. in much the same manner as
top travels when it is spinning on
slightly uneven surface. BY astronomical
observations this path has been traced
and the discovery made that the axis re-
turns to about a normal position ap-
proximately every seven years.
1t has been found that when the axis
makes a sharp turn in its very irregular
course. seismic activity is materially in
creased. From this it is reasoned that
the movement of the pole probably sets
I'D stresses in the crust of the earth
which result in violent upheavals along
faults and ridges.

RAZORSGetT TIRED
and SHOULD Be
Given Long RESTS

n ARBERS maintain a razor gets tired
n and is improved after a rest Any
razor, after constant use, while not
exactly becoming dull. grows sluggish and
fails to work as smoothly as when it has
lain for few weeks without work.
Constant use and continued sharpening
puts the molecules in sluggish condi-
ton and it is impossible to get the same
edge as when the steel has not been in
use for some time. When the razor lies
idle and the electric current is passing
off at the edge the particles are being
toned and tempered. and the edge actual
ly becomes more smooth and really
sharper.
1t is claimed a razor wrapped in rub
Der cloth and placed in a drawer away
from any damp will not be as benefited
by the rest as will a razor that is simply
laid away rather carelessly without any
isolation. It is the same If the razor is
enclosed in a glass case, for the insula-
ton prevents electric current from pass
ing through the metal
