A Hypiene Note.

contagious in itself. but in children a
cold is often the beginning Of con-

GARN|SH|NG
Some of the Sprigs That Make
Food Attractive.
THEY APPEAL TO THE EYE.

There Are Two Sorts of Trimming,
One For Flavor and One For Dsoora-
tion-Garnishing Often Turns . De-
spised Dish Into q Favorits.
With spring spleeniness upon Us, It Is
well for housewives to bait appetites.
Very often a dish may be delicious to
taste, but unattractive to the eye, and
he eye judges 1t before the palate
does. SO make 1t attractive to the eye
II you would have It a successful dish.
There are two sorts OF garntshes-
those that add flavor as well as decora-
ton and those that are only decorative
and do not add flavor. Mushrooms, for
instance, served with ragout Of meat,
add to both appearance and taste. A
bright green leaf under half a musk
melon adds only to appearance This
second class Of garnishes need not be
served when they are used ON the
serving dish.
Parsley Is perhaps the most useful
garnish. In sprigs with cold meat,
minced with soup and vegetables and
salads, It is always fresh In color and
tempting in taste.
Mushrooms are useful because, can
ned, they always can be kept on hand.
And 50 can peas. A mound Of canned
peas served In the middle Of an Irish
stew makes it far daintier than a
mound Of plain boiled potatoes. Pota-
toes, however, can be used for garnish-
ing. Scoop raw potatoes with round
scoop and boil them. Serve them with
melted butter and parsley for a gar
nish, or force soft, mashed potatoes
through a stiff paper cone and brown
In the oven, or fry brown small
rounds of potatoes, or use French fried
potatoes, and potato garnish is suitable
with cold meat.
Green and red peppers, too, can be
used to garnish vegetables, meats and
salads. An egg salad Is much i'm
proved If 1t is dotted with bits Of red
pepper. Minced green pepper or shred
ded green pepper adds both taste and
looks to potato and cabbage salad
Beets and carrots can be cut in rings
or stars, cooked tender very carefully
and then used to garnish substantial
meat dishes.
Barberries are one Of the purely Or
namental garnishes. Holly, too, can
be used in season, and bits OF ever
green can often be called on to help
make a simple dish attractive.
Remember that the garnishing OF
dish will often change it from some
thing not liked to favorite with the

FOR SPRING WEDDINGS.
One Attractive Way to
Give the Bride a Shower.

With spring already upon Us, the
thought of spring weddings IL now
In the air. This is the ripe season for
linen showers and other showers Of
household necessaries given to the
bride by all her friends. The girl who
IL to be married in April will be the
recipient of many an entertainment
before she is safely welded, but she
WIN enjoy nothing more than a shower
II her friends have any novel ideas on
the subject.
The chief point in a shower must al
ways be its surprise; otherwise 1t
would not be a shower. If you are
thinking Of giving such an affair for
some friend who is soon to be married
be sure that every detail is kept q Be-
cret from her. That is half the fun
A novel idea for linen shower can
be executed in the following way: In
vite the bride to be to spend an even
ing at your home with a few old
friends. See that she arrives the first
and is comfortably seated and chat
ting when the other guests begin to
arrive. OF course the latter are In the Be-
cret or else there would be no shower.
Each guest must come in carrying an
umbrella. The bride may not notice
the first one, but she will certainly re
mark before long that every one who
enters carries an umbrella. She VIII
probably ask before the last one ar
rfves If it is raining, in which case the
guest questioned should answer, mo.
but It looks like a shower"
When all the guests have arrived
each one must gain possession Of her
own umbrella in case it has been laid
aside on her entrance. At a given
dgnal, which should he some such re-
mark from the hostess as did you say
It looked like shower?" the guests
should all open their umbrellas with
the answer, at certainly does"
From the steel ribs of each umbrella
should be suspended by string the
parcel holding the piece of linen which
the guest intends to give the bride.
Any big bundles, like a tablecloth, will
make the umbrella a bit bulky when
closed, but in such case the guest
VII have to smuggle her umbrella In
wnoticed. But most linen pieces can
be done up in such small parcels that
they can easily be concealed In a closed
umbrella.
At the signal TO open the parcels will
IN hang down by their strings. The
guests must then hold their umbrellas
over the bride-to-be's head. The host
ess provides her with scissors to cut
down her various bundles, and the
point of the shower is made apparent.

Oriqin of the Penny.


The maiden name Of the penny
was "denarius," and the English penny
Is survival of the Roman rule In the
British isles. Like the coin which pre-
ceded it in Rome, it has been debased
In value until its name has lost its
original meaning. The first denarius
was minted in Rome about 26S B. c..
and was the principal silver coin Of
both the republic and the empire. 1t at
first weighed seventy-two grains troy
and was as nearly pure silver as du-
rability would permit. 1t bore on one
side the helmeted head Of Roma and
the mark X and on the other side the
images of Castor and Pollux. Later
these twin gods were replaced by the
head Of the Roman emperors. By 215
A. D. the coin had deteriorated in
value until it was only 40 per cent
silver. The x, which signif1ed the val
ne Of ten asses, had wholly lost its
meaning. Diocletian finished the deg
radiation of the denarius by applying
the name to a small copper coin In
England the largest silver coin was
called a denarius at time when the
English form was called a gold penny.

Physician SkepticaI.

Buston.-Dr. F. B. Mallory, patholo-
Stst Of the Boston City hospital, and
his assistant, DR.. e. M. Medlar, have
discovered the bacillus that causes
scarlet fever, and it is believed it will
not be very difficult to work out an
mtftuxin or vaccine for its prevention

This important discovery is laconi-
caDy described by DR.. Mallory and DR..
Medlar in a thousand word article i'm
ne current issue Of the Journal of
0ed1cal Research entitled 'sThe Ell
dbgy of Scarlet Fever"
Z is largely owing to the short life
a the actual germ that it has evaded
discovery so long. The germs are found
soon after the skin eruption appears
and usually find Judgment first In the
tunsils or at the root Of the tongue.
9he germ is less virulent than the
@pmheria bacillus, although it infects
practically the same localities. DR..
Mallory says it is "grampositive ba-
en-"
a vaccine for the disease would be
the more important" says DR.. Mallory,

disease. Scarlet fever is not conveyed,
as many suppose, from the scaling Of
the patient. When that takes place
an the germs in the body are dead"
It was said by New York physi-
clan that a number Of doctors have
claimed the discovery Of the bacillus
OF scarlet fever, but have failed to sub

Origin of Patents,

mated with the so called nobility Of
France. Lest their superiority to 9TH

got out titles of nobility, so that the
fact that they were better than the
rest Of the people might "lie open" to
all the world. 1t was in connection
with the printing of books that the
first real patents were issued, about
1850. By 1926 it began to be custom
airy to issue patents protecting the
rights Of inventors in the arts and
manufactures. Since that time the
patent offices of the world have had
steadily increasing business.
