A MEAL THAT'S A DELIGHT TO THE EYE IS IMMORAL
That Dishes Look More Attractive Than They
Taste-Palate Too, To Be Fooled, Says Miss
Cookery Expert:

RED She bought ten pounds OF almonds at
20 cents a pound. Then she spent all day
Smelling them. When she was through she
had yield OF four pounds, but she could have
bought them for 60 cents pound. Thus, after
a whole days labor, she had saved only ~
cents. But she had lost 81 which she could
have received as her teaching wage.
However. the greatest expenditure is found
in those niscellsnies called trimmings
whether those trimmings are the kidneys
which the improvident Lady Bountiful insists
that the butcher cut off from the kidney chops
that she is ordering or whether it is in the use
full bits OF fat that the butcher lets you pay
for and then throws under the counter Tor
his own use, or whether it is the huge bone
in the leg Of lamb. So many of these trim
nlings are utilizable, for soup. for havoring,
for side dishes, that the class at Teachers
College is preparing to issue volume on the
subject giving light to facts that will make
il almost impossible for the woman TO talk
about the high cost of living. She will be too
busy saving money for that.

her husband preferred fresh asparagus. Not
that the canned asparagus was less whole
some or less palatable, but he preferred fresh
vegetables The fresh asparagus was purchas-
able in three qualities. The cheapest quality
sounded little too cheap to be truly econom
cal and the most expensive was more. she
thought, than she could afford. So she &C
cepted the medium and was well satisfied
But If she had tested the three qualities she
would have found that when the part that
could not be eaten was eliminated the edible
portion was very much higher in price than
she imagined, and that by selecting the medi-
UNI priced bunch she was having the worst OF
the bargain all around. The Is-cent quality
was really 80 cents a pound for the edible
portion The ascent quality actually -
cents, while the 35-cent quality was only 20
cents Hence she was paying 20 cents pound
extra. merely for the psychological value for
the food No one would quarrel with her on
that account. It is merely asked that she
realize lust how much these Injuries cost.
And TO do this she must know a little about
the comparative values OF food.
Does it pay to make bread at hor,c?' This
is one OF the commonest questions asked OF
the cookery faculty They experimental, then
issued bulletin TO the effect that, including
fuel and using materials Of excellent quality,
the cost of bread made at home is practically
the same as that which is made in bakeshop

q v;carious satisfaction. This is why tales OF
travel and adventure have such wonderfui
hold upon children OF all ages, including sew

ing are passed without crisis.
But for most children living in the cities the
range is likely to be both narrow and monoto-
nous. The streets are too much alike in ap-
pearance. and nothing new ever happens in
them. except for the very young child. This
ia why IL has become necessary. as our popuia-
ton has gradually shifted in ever large pro-
portions from the country to the city, to pro-
vide special occasions for going abroad into
the unknown. With the prudence OF years
parents think naturally Of safety FIRST. But
the child is a pioneer, an explorer, and safety
is to him a minor consideration.
The girls are quite as much tempted TO ex-
pertinent with the unknown as are the boys.
But they resist their temptations more easily,
on the whole They are not so courageous
physically and they have not usually initiative
TO the same degree. Moreover, the eonven-
tons impose upon girls certain restrictions
that make il more difficult for them to find the
opportunity to launch upon any great ad-
venture Their need. however, is as great as
the brothers.

Birds are sometimes considered a nuisance in

casonally for these liquids, three or four tied to-
gether with tiny ribbon. Small berry forks
would be a welcome change from the child's own
silver.
II cream toast is served at luncheon the toast
could be cut in tiny disks or diamonds. Another
idea for an older child is TO put thin round OF
cold meat on disk Of bread and top It with
dab Of red jelly.
For the customary bread and milk supper nat

Never make a dish look more attractive
than it tastes" said Miss Van Arsdale. This
was in answer to the query, How much time
is it fair to spend on garnishing" For 1t
woman is buying lamb chops in place OF hash
merely because of the psychological value OF
the food, there comes up the question: Would
it not be just as psychologically efficient to
take the hash, call it Angels Delight and trim
it with beautiful little rosebuds and things'
But the answer in every case is No.
The palate hates to be fooled. II will rise
in ire against a ruse. A dish should taste
better than it looks, restaurants 10 tho con-
trary notwithstar ling. A certain famous cher
in a hotel dining room discovered this TACT,
and quotes in proof of IL the fact that cold
buffet luncheons are much more popular than
they were, because the effort that used to be
expended on making the dishes look pretty
is now spent in cooking them well.
"A meal that IL delight TO the eye ONLY
is immoral" said Miss Van Arsdalc, but then
went on 20 explain to her listeners that It
cherry would make the children eat rice pud-
ding and a bit Of parsley make an omelette In
wiling TO jaded appetite it was unwise not to
employ them. The medium OF utmost desira-
bity per cubic foot horsepower or penny
should be determined as carefully in this case
az in every other, because the housekeeper can
be sure that she has decided correctly and ex-
pended her budget wisely.

FIRST DEBATE OF The CAMPAIGN
In Rowan County Between CONGRESSMAN
DsughtOn and H. S. Williams.

Salisbury enjoyed the first joint
debate of the present campaign
Monday afternoon when Cou-
gresham Doughton and his Re
publican opponent, H. S, Wilt
ANS, used up two hours and ff-
teen minutes addressing several
hundred voters at the court house.
In the main the speeches we're
temperate and the only appreci-
able effect on the audience was
shown by an occasional laughing
spell or abbreviated applause.
Mr.. Doughton had first 60 and
he was introduced by Hon. Theo.
F k1uttz, who referred to the
achievements of the Democratic
party in its three and Z half vars
of National reign and sixteen
years Of State management and
who paid "Farmer Bob" the com
pliment of calling him a faithful
representative of his people, al
ways on the job, and saw bright
skies indicative of further Demo
cratic success.
A H Price introduced Mr. Will
liams, who, he said, represented
the reunited Republican party,
the party which for lhirty-fve
years with several accidental in
terruptions had ruled this coun-
try and made of it a great Nation.
This, he said, stands for real
patriotism, real protective tariff
and real prosperity, not the spas
modic, blood-stained prosperity.

Punctured by Fractured Rib.

T. V. Terrell, secretary and
treasurer of the Locke Cotton
Mills, met with a serious acct
dent Sunday evening while on
his way to Concord from his
former home, Cooleemee While
turning out to pass another ma
chine a few miles out from Cool
eemee near South River, his
automobile, a Ford runabout car,
skidded in the sand and turned
over. Mr.. Terrell was caught
under the car and badly hurt
three ribs being broken. He was
taken back to Cooleemee, and DR.
W Long, of Statesville, was
summoned to attend him. 1t is
not known whether or not there
are any serious internal injuries,
but his friends here hope that he
will be able to return to Concord
in a few days.
AS soon as Mr.. Terrell arrived
at Cooleemee his physician was
called in and later called DR. Long
