diet when they could not obtain fish.
There are many other common weeds
that may be used as greens, among
them sour dock, valuable for its laxa-
tive properties; plantain, a familiar
dooryard neighbor; pigweed or lambs
quarters, formerly cultivated in gar.
dens like spinach; mustard, either
black or white, found growing along
roadsides and in cultivated ground, and
the nettle, once used in an old-fash-
toned dish called "nettle porridge."
Besides, there is the mint, with its
delicious aromatic favor, which can be
used to add piquancy TO iced tea or
lemonade or in general fruit salad
Wintergreen, too, is slowly coming
into favor for seasoning, the tiny red
dish leaves Of spring, or ''pippins." as
they are called, making a delicious
addition to the fruit salad. Checker
berries are also fine salad ingredients.
The Europeans seem to have realized
the value of these modest and prolific
plants much more than We have. Only
recently has the American housewife
heard Of them for culinary uses, and
already they are finding favor in her
eyes. When Nature provides with such
bounty, it is sheer neglect for US to
pass by her gifts unheedngly.

the mop-wringer was.
The crowd of women pressing against

They flocked there from every other

BY LILLE SHOSTAC STRUNSki.
IN spring the housewives fancy turns
TO thoughts of green salads. She
has learned through the physician
the tonic value Of these spring greens,
which have served their medicinal
place through the ages. She has yet to
accustom herself, however, to the use
of the common weeds whose virtues
have played an important role in the
medicine of simples.
Instead Of using them merely in
that role they will now be introduced
into the everyday menu. The weeds
have always suffered oblivion at our
hands because we were not cognizant
Of their value. but now that they are
unfolding such treasures Of salads and
greens for the mere picking they will
at once assume Importance.
Purslane, or "puslcy," is one Of the
commonest weeds of waste places. Its
PROSTATE and creeping stems Of red
dish brown appear about the middle OF
May from a central root and spread
out in a wide circle. The feshy, succu
lent stems bear rounded leaves about
as large as a nickel, and tiny yellow
flowers. In the Old World purslane
has been used for a long time both as
salad and as greens, and especially
in picking. In this country it is little
known as food plant, though its sue
culency makes IL an excellent salad.
Thoreau in one OF his communes with
nature wrote of the plant: 81 have
made a satisfactory meal simply OF
purslane which I gathered in my corn
field, boiled and sailed. Men frequent
ly starve. not for want of necessaries,
but for want of luxuries."
Dandelon Makes a Delicious Salad.
The dandelion is better known as
salad plant than the purslane, but it is
not superior to it. The fiat rosettes of
jagged leaves may be easily recog-
nized, growing close 20 the ground al
most everywhere. It is better TO pick
the young and tender leaves, and those
preferably from plants growing in
clean sand. They are likely to be less
acrid than others. The young sprouts
may be boiled like spinach. but the
fresh leaves are more delicious. The
dried root of the dandelon has been
used in various countries and ages as
a substitute for coffee. II is said the
Apache Indians are so fond of dsnde-
lion that they will scour the country
for its leaves, and the quantity con-
sumed by the individual Indian is al.
most unbelievable.
Sorrel is another plant that is ex-
tensively cultivated in Europe, espe-
cially in Scotland. where il is known as
"sourock," for fresh salads, while il is
little known here. The common sorrel
is a frequenter Of stubble fields and is
recognized by its hslberd shaped
leaves about a central stem. IL is
succulent and moist and contain oxalic
acid. which is invaluable as a blood
cleanser. Another form Of the sorrel
Is sheep sorrel," or sour grass"
with leaves that are rounded, about
half an inch in diameter. and standing

Should shrk their jobs no more;
But work twelve hours daily,

And Jones, of fair Chenango,
Rushed forth to save the bill,

And in his voice thrill;
He lacked not firm conviction,
Nor eloquence. nor breath,
To plead that women should be free
To work themselves TO death.

Joined in that great debate.
And showed how noble children grow

And if proof were needed,
Himself had worked at night.

 Early on Thursday evening Iamato ap- peared at the mess house. where country man, Harry Nonogaki, is employed. He was dressed in light summer clothing, and appeared to be thoroughly chilled after his long walk over the hill He told Harry that he felt sick, and the latter offered him re treatments, which he refused but drank a glass of cold water A little while later he again complained of feeling ill., and shortly afterward fell to the floor, and expired be- fore the physician, who had at once been telephoned to- could reach his side It was stated that the deceased probably died from heart affection, which was aggra- vated in the weakened and chilled condi- ton which resulted from exposure by drink ing the ice cold water.
