LETTUCE FOR THE TABLE
Much Depends on Its Proper Prepare
tion and Arrangement When IL
Is Served.

When lettuce comes from the mar
ket, clean in cold water and look It
over carefully to see that all dirt and
insects are removed. Place on a
piece Of dampened cheesecloth, then
roll up and put on the ice, when it will
be ready for use and will often stay
fresh for a week. Some persons COM
plain of sleepiness after eating let
tuce. This is due to the lactucin in
lettuce, which the milky juice con-
tains. This juice may be removed by
cutting from the lettuce the lower end
of the heads or stalks and then stand
ing the lettuce in cold water for sew
eral hours before using. Keep the
head intact when you wish to quiet
the nerves or to induce sleep.
The following is pretty lettuce rel
ish for luncheon or dinner and may
be served in small cut glass dish;
Line the dish with lettuce leaves upon
which place either ripe or green olives
and tiny red tomatoes Chill with
cracked ice. The olives and tomatoes
may be taken with the fingers at any
time during the meal

SHE KNEW ALL THE TRICKS
Rich Girls Actions at one-Room Tea
Party Proved That She Had once
Been Poor.

She looked rich and acted rich, and
everyone knew that she was rich, be-
cause she had married rich man, yet
the Sherlock Holmes Of the tea party
discovered that she had once been
poor
Take II from me-" she said, that
there was time, and that not so very
long ago, when she was as poor as
the rest Of us"
Marvelousl" exclaimed the other
four girls. How did you discover
that?'
Through her knowing so absolutely
where / keep all my housekeeping
things. She knew that the tea caddy
was In the writing desk, that the
cheese. biscuits. and other edibles be-
loved by mice were in that tin box
under the sofa, that the alcohol for my
stove was in the corner behind the
washstand. that the butter and milk
were on the window ledge, and that
the eggs and other raw foods were in
a box on the bottom shelf of the ward.

When We we're cooking she went
straight to the spot and got everyone

experience OF housekeeping in one

SOME OF THE OLD Triples
Early Housekeepers Had Many Re-
eipes That Have Been Handed
Down to Posterity.

Whether there will be revival dur
ing the next few years Of the domestic
art Of making wine is a matter of pure
conjecture, but It is interesting to
recall that formerly many common
things that grow around US were util-
lied by thrifty housewives in the pre-
paration of ''tipples" that were more
or less mild or more or less potent.
Generally the wine-making potentiali-
ties OF these things are little thought
OF now. and in most homes, even in
country homes, wine-making processes
have been forgotten
Reference has recently been made
TO the making of dandelion wine. a
sweet and potent wine prepared with
the aid of the golden flowers of the
dandelion. Elderberry wine and elder
flower wine we're made in most of the
rural homes in the Potomac country
a generation or so ago. Blackberries
were gathered industriously by the
children for conversion into jam and
wine or cordial. and raspberries were
especially sought after that wine could
be made from them. It Is probable
that in the minds of elderly persons
today there is preserved better men,
DRY OF raspberry vinegar than of rasp-
berry wine. for it was popularity be-
lieved that raspberry vinegar was SUI
periol 20 that made, from apples.
In cherry time the fruit was treas
ured because 1t could be preserved or
converted into a familiar tipple called
cherry bounce" drink which at GER
tain stages of it's laying" or develop
ment was exhilarating and intoxicat-
ing.
The flavor of gooseberry wine was
known and esteemed by most of the
gandmothers and grandfathers Of
present Washingtonians.
On all the old farms there was a
little distillery, though on some farms
it was not so little, just as there was
an icehouse and a smokehouse, where
the peaches and apples and grapes
could be distilled into fruit brandy.
Cider-making was a ceremony, and
in the late fall when frost had pinched
and somewhat shriveled the persim-
mons a strange potation called per
simmon beer was made.
Parsnip wine was made by British
housewives before emigration to
America set in, and the art of making
this wine was brought over by the
early immigrants. There was also in
colonial times in America a drink
which was called peppermint wine. or
peppermint liqueur.

For protecting them by a mock trial,

For cutting off our trade with all

For imposing taxes on US without

For de2riving US, in many cases. of

For transporting us beyond the seas

He has constrained our fellow-citi-

become the executioners Of their

He has excited domestic insurrec-

In every stage of these expressions

Nor have we been wanting in at

appealed to their native justice and
magnanimity, and we have conjured
them, by the ties of our common kin

Hot-Water platter.

Those who have to solve the prob
lem of cold dining rooms, especially
at breakfast time, will find greater
comfort in the use of the hot-water
platter. Boiling water is turned into
the tank under the platter and the top
screwed on. Then the nickel cover
is placed over the food, which keeps
hot and in perfect order for at least
thirty minutes. The original outlay
seems little large, as the medium.
sized outfit costs about nine dollars,
but with careful use it will repay
one in the comfort of hot meals. There
is also the round hot-water plate
which is excellent for the breakfast
tray or inyalid's use.

GREAT DAY FOR

SUNDAY.

Sunday was great day in the his
tory of the newly organized Second
Baptist church in this city. Thirty
four new members we're baptized
and admitted to membership in the
church, while seven more stood ap-
proved for baptism.
The meeting, which has been held
for the past week or more at the
church just beyond the underpass
on the Mooresville pike, is one of the
most remarkable that has been held
in the history of the city. The whole
southern portion of the city has been
stirred to its depths by the forceful
sermons of DR.. George r. Freeman.
Every night there have been con-
verts, not only from the young peo-
pie, but also from the ranks of the
older generations
The meeting closed Sunday night
until the fifth Sunday of this month
on account of the death of DR.. Free
mans nephew. 1t will then be re-
sumed by DR.. Freeman

FEW ARRESTS MADE
N MAURY COUNTY

DTPUTY SHERIFF..
SAME STORY At MT. PLEASANT
Decrease in Number of Arrests Due
to New Lewisburg & Northern

Among Negroes of County.

Have / made any arrests today ?
Why, the sheriff and his deputies
combined have not locked UP more
than seven or eight men since Christ
mas time. Times are mighty dull in
the criminal business" said a very
prominent deputy sheriff this morn
ing.
1.-THE criminals are few and far be-
tween these days, or they are oper-
ating nightly quietly. One officer
alone last January arrested and lock-
ed up thirty-fve men during the
month. l doubt whether there will
be that many locked up by all of the
officers this month. The decrease in
the number of arrests is due in part
the Lewisburg & Northern Rail
road, which has gotten most Of the
tramps and hoboes. They all go that
route now, as it is some faster than
this one. Furthermore, they have
tried this route before and it is
mighty hard for them to get through
here unmolested."

pened to be standing nearby while
the officer was talking. He chimed
in, TITS the same story in the phos-
phate metropolis. I have turned the
key on only one man since Christ
