that they will remain in place and
then the dish is ready to be served.
At luncheon 1t should be cut as one
would a layer cake-pie fashion.
A variation on this idea can be
made by taking dough enough from
batch of bread to fill half full
round loaf cake tin. The kind with
the cylindrical hole in the middle is
the best. Bake the bread. and the
day following baking it will be ready
for the sandwich layer. 1t is some-
thing of a trick to cut the loaf hori-
zontally so that three layers can be
formed but IL the bread is not too
fresh 1t can be done. Now mix the
sandwich mixture and proceed as be-
fore.
Ham sandwiches can be made in
this way If the ham is first put
through a fine meat chopper and then
rubbed smooth with little cream, a
little mixed mustard and a chopped
gherkin or olive. Chicken can in like
manner be made into a filling Paste

considerably less.
According to an Official report of the
mortality rate among the officers ana

Unless fire wood takes a drop in

At last a rarely fortunate day has
dawned, according to astrolOgy. Mer-
curry, Neptune. Saturn and Jupiter
are all in benefic aspect
1t is a particularly good rule un-
der which to undertake new enter
prises, whether they be large or
small.
Contracts. leases and agreements Of
all Eorts made under this sway of
the stars are supposed to be very
satisfactory.
Neptune gives promise of large prof
its for all who deal in timed or
canned food stuffs. This forecast has
been made for more than year and
seems to apply chiefly to the finer
grades Of mechandise.
There is a sway promising pros
perity for mines and mining. but labor
troubles will interfere.
In this connection a riot of gravest
import is prognosticated and great
loss OF life and property are in
dicated.
1t is said that prescience will be
recognized as something more than a
casual phenomenon after the war, for
among the soldiers who die on bat
tlehelds the recognition of the "calr'

Washington, D. c., continues under
a rule of the stars making for growth

sinister occurrences.
On the Atlantic coast warning is
given of danger from dock strikes
