MUCH GOOD IN SALAD
APPETIZING AND HEALTH-GIviNo
AT ALL SEASONS.
Housewife Who is Proficient In Their
Making Is a Treasure to Her
FamIIy-Three Recipes That
Are Excellent.
BY Ida AMEs WILLIS.

One of our readers delights in her
skill In salad-making. She declares she
can prepare salads that are her own
and her family's-greatest Joy and sat
isfaction in this life, If not their saliva
ton in the next. Another reader ex'
horts US to preach salads to the outer
barbarian who will not adopt this
higher phase of development. Virtue
lies in the harmonious combination Of
salad, the beauty and health-giving
qualities that nature has impaired to
the delicate, tender green vegetables,
the oil Of the olive, and other choice
ingredients used.
Though salads vary with the season.
happily there is no month in our year
during which we may not obtain fresh
materials In greens or vegetables for
the production of choice salads. The
American cucumber, hothouse or out.
door grown, should be eaten In all Its
pristine freshness, sliced into ice cold
watets make 1t tender and crisp, but
no salt added.
Dutch SafaGae-rhe minced fish sal.
ads originated with the Dutch, who
were famous for compounds of fish,
cheddar cheese, and various roots and
herbs. A herring salad Is made with
two broiled herring, skin and bones
removed and meat shredded; put in a
salad bowl bleached head of endive;
add to the fish and two anchovies cut
up a dozen minced capers, two boiled
and diced potatoes, two boiled and
picked beets cut In shreds, and some
minced herbs. Pour over all plain
salad dressing; toss lightly together
and serve.
French Salad.--Trim, wash and cut
UP head of endive; drain perfectly
dry. Rub your salad bowl with cube
or crust of bread rubbed with garlic
or onion. Put in the endive and cover
with a dressing made of olive oil, tar
ragon vinegar, salt, pepper, a little
anchovy paste, pinch Of celery salt, and
toss lightly together and serve.
Spanish Salad.-Not to France or
sunny Italy are our thanks due for the
glorious tomato salad. BY the law of
eternal fitness 1t belongs to Spain, that
land of vivid romance. Blend the to-
mato with the ripe Spanish olive, few
waferlike slices of Spanish onion, and
shreds Of green pepper, and cap all
with crown Of golden mayonnaise,
and you'll find Joy in the eating
thereof. ...r

Things would be all right only there
Is nobody with any horse sense. We

foxes who ran the place weren't jeal-
Gus cats who act like gossipy old hens

to patronize loan sharks to keep the

for a bunch Of Holsters to do but close
up like clans, sneak out into the mud
like bunch of suckers and hike to

A Good.Manners Week.

"What Cleveland needs is a better
manners week." says the Cleveland
Leader That is true for other places,
too We need weeks for the virtues
of all kinds. We need swatthe-lie
week, simple-life week, a good-lan-
guage week, a nonprofanity week,
help-your-neighbor week, a closed-muf-
fler week, nonsoliciting week, a
cherry pie week, clean-movie week,
a 5-o'clock getting up week, a picnic
week, going-a-fishing week-in fact,
we need weeks of all kinds to refresh
the soul and stimulate the intellect.
A commission might be appointed to
divide up the whole year into weeks
devoted to our happiest aspirations.
Why not? What's the sense Of grovel-
ing along in loafing and trading and
working? What's the sense in making
things worse than they are? Why
shouldn't we live up instead Of down?

To Destroy Ants.

The warm, damp days always bring
ants. The only way to get rid OF
these insects is to destroy their nests.
But 1t is often difficult to locate them.
A good plan is to place little mounds
of coarse ground sugar around. The
ants will each take up grain and
make their nest with 1t, 80 should be
watched. When the nest is found,
drench it with kerosene or strong
solution Of carbolie acid Ants dis,
like the smell of camphor. This scat
tered around will keep them away
but as they are usually around food
camphor is scarcely practical, because
of its strong odor. which the foods
may absorb. In such case try sprink

Linen Closet.

Linen stored in closet warm and
poorly ventilated will become yellow
and will crack earlier than II stored
otherwise. The properly constructed
linen closet should be in a cool. dry

William Walker Smith, United

William Walker Smith, United
States consul general at Santo Do
mingo, to the amazement Of the Wal
dorf-Astoria employees In New York,
came down from his room on the sew
enth floor with big Belgian police
dog, which was given to him when he
was In Europe. 1t is said to be the
first time that dog of this size has
even been above the first floor of the
hotel with the consent Of the manage
ment. However, 1t was explained to
everybody that Mr. Smiths police dog
had a room all to himself In the Wal
dorf. That's another thing which the
dog can boast about in later years.
THAT dog" said Mr.. Smith, saved
me from drowning" and he intimated
the dog had right to the best there
is. He said that the animal was
wonder and that he was very, very
fond Of him.

When You Sweep.

For sweeping room neatly there
is nothing like newspaper aid. Take
a page of newspaper or other paper
convenient, wet in hot water and
squeeze 1t until it ceases to drip. Tear
into pieces the size of ones hand,
cast them all over the carpet, then
sweep, and most of the dust in the
room, II you use your broom judi
ciously, will be gathered into the pa
pers. After velvet or other heavy
pile carpet Is thoroughly swept, a
sponging with ammonia and water
will preserve its brightness wonder
