talnly does resemble the breast meat
OF turkey. 1t sells at about the same
price as ordinary salmon, but is far
superior to it as to flavor.
1t may be served cold right from the
can with slices of lemon or combined
in various hot dishes with eggs, bread
and milk as a loaf or souffle.
Tuna Sandwiches.-Onec cup Of tuna,
finely chopped, two tesspoonfuls of
creamed butter, one teaspoonful of
lemon juice and teaspoonful each of
tarragon, chervil and gherkins. Put
into a bowl and blend lightly, adding
dash of salt, paprika and nutmeg.
Spread the mixture on very thin white
bread
Tuna Salad.-This is salad which
Will rival the tasty chicken salad
Mix together three cupfuls of tuna,
one cupful of chopped celery, one hard
cooked egg, chopped, and one green
pepper, adding half-cupful of French
dressing very slowly. Let stand sew
eral hours before serving and then add
a fourth of a cupful of chopped olives
and serve with mayonnaise dressing
The tuna is not an oily fish, so that
the addition of the two dressings gives
the desired richness to the salad.
Tuna in Peppers.-Cut six peppers
in halves lengthwise, remove the seeds
and soak in cold water. Beat four
eggs until light, add cupful of sweet
milk, two cupfuls of tuna a cupful of
bread crumbs and seasonings Pack
into the peppers and sprinkle the tops
with well-buttered crumbs. Brown in
the oven and eat hot.
The peppers should be soaked In
cold water and parboiled ten minutes
before they are stuffed.

Useful Hints.

Scanning with hemstitched effect
may be done on the machine by plac-
ing several thicknesses of plotting
paper, cut narrow, between the two
edges to be SO joined.
Stitch an ordinary seam. Tear
away the paper and turn back each
fold of cloth
Stitch close to the folG on each side
of hemstitching. Curved seams may
be hemstitched as easily as straight
ones.
If when transferring an embroidery
design or initial through carbon paper
you find it difficult to get the design
into it's exact place, try sticking in the
article you wish to stamp so that
the heads of the pins outline the ex-
act spot.
You can then feel the pin head
through the carbon paper and SO know
where to place the design.
To keep the placket from tearing
down sew hook and eye at the very
bottom of the placket on the wrong
side. Hook together, pinch the hook
down tightly, and it will never come
unfastened.

Coroner's Ancient Nuisances.

Somebody invented coroners three
centuries before Columbus discov-
cred America. 1t was job of much
distinction and there were no fees at
tached, says the Philadelphia Ledger.
But even when Oliver Cromwell was
lad, folks in England began to abuse
coroners and call them grafters, or
whatever it was they called folks in
that day who got something for moth
ing. And Blackstone, whose name is
often used as a synonym for common
law, declared that coroners were not
only an unnecessary nuisance but that
they often stood in the way of justice.
Several states are now trying to
abolish coroners, but progress is slow.
If it were as easy to eradicate an old
Office as new one, fear no coroner
would survive the slaughter. When
l asked an, eminent Judge what cor
oners are good for, his reply was:
Ito draw salaries"

Gowns of Velvet.

One of the best known London mod
istes is showing some exquisite mod
els carried out in dull mauve, powder
blue or golden brown velvet, cut very
much on the lines of the dresses seen
in Romney picture, with wide fichus
or falling ruffles of ivory net and old
lace There has never been prettier
style nor one more calculated to en-
nance feminine beauty, and as these
gowns are warm and strong enough
for a considerable amount of hard
wear, they are to be highly recon-
mended.
For those who find silk velvet too
costly there are many delightful
shades to be had in velveteens or cor
duroys, and in almost every case the
simpler the cut of skirt and bodice
the better, the actual color of the ma
terial and the hanging frills of lace
being all the decoration required.

Splendid Memory.

Recently Philip O'Day, a coal deal
er of Brooklyn, died and it was found
that for nearly twenty years he had
kept complete tally of his business in
his head. He had not the slightest
knowledge of arithmetic, as taught,
but according to his own methods was
able to remember who owed him and
whom he owed, down to a cent
His sons associated with him in the
business kept a private account book,
but they never dared let their father
know about it. Just before his death
the coal merchant told them the names
of all debtors and the amounts due.
Even in his dying moments he spoke
with scorn of the need his sons found
for using pencil and paper to take
down what he told thru. After their
father had passed away the sons
found his memory was even better
than their account book, for they had
neglected putting down certain sums
the old merchant had reported to
them.

TO SECURE SOUND SLUMBER
Conditions Must Be Right, Especially
to Man Who Must Quiet Ac-
tlVlty of Brain.

Many men and women, especially
those past their first youth, find diff.
Guilty In procuring the sound, restful
sleep so necessary to keep mind and
body fit Although, physically, the
body Is tired out, the brain Is as alert
as ever, and perfect oblivion is impos-
sible
A well-known physician gives some
interesting advice on the matter
Insomnia" he states, rs one Of the
penalties of the increasing strain
modern life throws upon our brains.
The man who works with his muscles
and lives in the open air is rarely a
victim Of sleeplessness.
THE essentials for a good nights
rest are mental repose, a requisite
amount Of muscular fatigue, comfort
abel body heat and plenty of ventila-
ton.
The most difficult to secure IL les
sened brain activity. An excellent
plan is to take a brisk half-hour's
walk just before bedtime, followed by
a hot bath and a rundown, and then
a cupful of warm milk and a biscuit
or two as one gets into bed.
IF, in addition, the mind be TO-
cused on some pleasant but not ex-
citing topic, nights rest is assured
to all but the most chronic sufferer.
"The type in which the sleeper sud
denly awakes an hour or so after hav-
ing fallen asleep usually means that
more outdoor muscular exercise is re-
CURED"

Soldiers of the kino.

The change which education has
made in the British army in the
last quarter of century comes out
again in the craving of the Kings Liv-
erpool regiment for magazines to read
always acceptable in the trenches
and defenses." The illiterate private
of Mr. Kipling's early stories has van
ished, leaving in his place a man as
physically capable and as high-spirit-
ed and also of quicker and better-fur-
nished intelligence, who has tri-
umphantly shown himself to be able
to make a success of the new military
training, with it's wisely bold policy
Of evoking the soldiers capacity for
making the best use of himself on

The Soldiers Have Toothache.

From accounts which have come
from the front, toothache would seem
to be one Of the hardships of cam
paigning in the trenches. The sec :
tary of the British Dental association
says that start has been made to
provide an efficient staff Of dental sur
geons for service at the front. Six
dentists, who have been given the
temporary rank of lieutenant in the
Royal Army Medical corps, have left
for France, and further drafts of quail
flied men are being chosen, if they are
not actually on the way, for service
near the firing line. They will also
have the temporary rank of lieuten-
ant-London Telegraph.

The Value of Enemies.

One of the best assets of a news
business, Is the sum total of the fell
lows who advertise him by exposing
crouch or a grudge through their
criticisms. The boosters help-and
the knockers also help without know
ing it! When you hear a man trying
to tear down a newspaper you imme-
diately get that newspaper onto and
into your mind, don't you? Never try
to silence the knockers-they are
your helpers whom you do not have
to burden your payroll with. Better
put the knockers on your payroll than
let them Quit!-Jewell Mayes in the

spaces are cut out Of the sides on
either side of the seat so that child
can hold on and rock himself as much
as he pleases.
For quite small child, it would be
advisable to fasten strap at the back
of the seat with a couple of screws
so that it could be secured round his
waist and prevent him falling should
he rock too violently. When complete
the whole thing can be painted OF

VARIOUS STYLES IN GLOVES

go past the elbow a length needs
to be added, and it is done by at.
taching the arm part on with a "
shaped seam. This extra part will
outlast the hand of the glove, and
may be put on a new pair of gloves.
The flare wrist glove for morning
wear has a decided vogue, as it slips
on easily and, because of the strap,
looks and fits the hand well. 1t may
be had all one color kid or stitched
with a contrasting color and with the
strap, flare inset and stitching of con-
trasting color.
For short-sleeved coats and dresses
of tailored character there is a long
white kid glove that has black and
white embroidery stitching on the
back. Such glove is not to wear
with the more filmy dresses. With
these evening or dancing gowns the
goes better.
Sand-colored and covert suits and
coats now have gloves to match, in
kid for the more elaborate ones and
mocha for outdoor driving or walking.
The one-clasp buckskin gloves in sand
color are very attractive.
Golf gloves of soft mocha, button
ing over the back of the hand instead
of the front, with openings to give free
play to the knuckles, are of a soft tone
of gray.
