slices and arrange on a bed of lettuce
alternately with slices of tomato. Garnsh
with cut celery and cress and use plenty
of mayonnaise, to which whipped cream
has been added at the last moment.
EGGS.
The low-Water mark price for eggs has
passed. They are by no means expensive
and are quite within the limit of every
purse.
Since at this season almost all eggs
are fresh, they should be used freely
Eggs, like milk, contain in the right pro-
portion all the elements necessary for
the support of the body. Their highly
concentrated nutritive value renders il
necessary to use them in combination with
other foods. Eggs. being rich in iron
sodium and phosphoric acid, are placed
among the nitroEenous foods, are muscle
building and principally dgested In the
stomach. They are easily dlgested raw
or lightly cooked, but should be avoided
by those of weak digestive powers when
hard-bOlled.
Eggs. being rich In proteids, serve as
valuable substitute for meat. In most
families their use not only upon the
table but in making of cake, custards.
puddngs and pastries renders them al
most indispensable. 1t Is surprising the
number of intelligent women who man

see what could have happened to them
There Is friend OF mine named Fred
Dieck," said Mr., Keegan Now, Fred
Dieck weighs 400 pounds or pretty near IT,
but in all the time he has been coming TO
my house he never broke but one chair
And that wasn't very strong anyway.
So, when you find about % chairs that
are no good any more unless they're fixed,
you wonder what hit en-"
An explanation has been offered TO ac-
count for the disappearance OF the china.
Colonel Keegan put In q claim for two
sets. The cook who was employed during
the Sunday campaign to feed the Sunday
party worked in the kitchen each day.
"1f a pusson chucks cups and plates
across de room" she said "and dey miss
what dey aimed at, dem cups and plates
jus natchully bus up agin' de wall"
Colonel Keesan has had several men
working in his house since the Sunday
party left and most of the hicks In the
furniture have been caulked up. Tho floors,
however, still show signs of hard wear
His bill for resurfacing the floors runs
over 500 The estimate given by work
men exceeds that, however.

But Doctor Buckley hadn't any opinion

QUAKER SCORES FELLOWS
THAT OPPOSE PUBLICITY
Their Religion Nothing to Be
Ashamed of, He Declares.

Ashamed of, He Declares.
Friends who object to publicity OF pro-
ceedings at the Yearly Meeting Of
Friends, held at the meeting house, 18th
and Race streets. were severely scored
today by Elwood Roberts of Norrstown.
who addressed the business session Of
the conference.
II see no reason" he said, "why any
one of us should he ashamed of being a
Quaker, and If we arc not ashamed of
that fact we should not act as though
we were by yelling our actions from the
light of publicity. Mere scntimentality
will not spread the message of the
Friends throughout the country. and the
sooner some of us realize this the better
1t will be for all of us"
The same theme was taken up mo-
ment later by Abel r. Mahan who as
serted that there is too much "hoIer
than thou" spirit among the Quakers of
today, and Reuben Kester, who said that
there is unQuestionably wide inquiry
and interest manifest among people of
other doctrines to learn exactly what
the Friends believe. He maintained that
many QuakerS are not well informed In
the fundamental principles of their own
creed and that they should Immediately
remedy this condition and then spread the
doctrine to the hest Of their ability. Isaac
Wilson also emphasized this point and
asserted that the Quaker Church needs
to be stirred with a sweeping revival
spirit.
At divine worship service held at
the Meeting House earlier in the day
j. Bernard Hilliard made plea for the
members of the Quaker Church to bring
young people to affiliate with the church.
Other speakers at this netting were: Ed
ward j. Darnell, Rachel NJ Lippincott,
Daniel Willis, Elizabeth Newlin, William
Z. Jones, Robert Barns, Griffith f. Coale
and Mrs. Mary COale.
