Mayonnaise Dressinq.

To make Il good mayonnaise dressing
which will keep for II long time take
the yolk of an egg, half pint of salad
oil, four tablespoOnfuls of lemon juice
or vinegar, salt and pepper and pa
prika.
First see that all the ingredients and
utensils to be used are thoroughly cold,
as this will render the dressing easier,
Of manipulation.
Break the yolk Of the egg into bowl
aud add little OF the oil, stirring all
the time 1t is being added, and pouring
il In ut first drop by drop.
As soon as the dressing shows signs
of thickening the oil may be added
more rapidly, but at first it must be put
In very slowly. Stir either with
fork, spoon or egg beater. The main
point is to keep stirring. Add the lem
on juice or vinegar slowly, continuing
the beating all the time.
1t is better not to add the seasoning
until the dressing Is to be used, as the
mayonnaise keeps better without it. In
any case even where 1t is for immedi-
ate service be careful not to add the
salt until all the other ingredients are
added to the egg.

not the remotest corner Of the inlet Of
the minute blood vessels Of the human
body that does not feel some wavelet

life and strength to the surface. thus
materially tending to insure good

therein. The blood moves more rapidly

FOOD SURVEY BILL PASSES

House Adopts Measure Without Roll
 Call-Carries s14,7O0,oOo for Census
 of Products in Nation.
 Washington, May 29.-Without even Q roll call, the house late yesterday passed the first of the food control bills after unanimously accepting an amendment offered by Miss Jeanette Rankin, representative from Montana, giving preference to women in admin istering the provision of the bill deal- ing with waste.
 The food bill passed carried total appropriations of about $14,700, 900 for an immediate survey of the food products of the country, and to stim-: ulate a production. The more drastic feature of the food control program. making President Wilson food dictator and authorizing the fixing of prices. is to come up later in separate bill.
 Tn spite of harsh criticism directed at the bill during it's consideration in the last few days, opponents were un- able to obtain a roll call. A motion to recommit made by Representative Haugen, of Iowa, was defeated by vote of 220 to 71.

Where's the perfume of the flowers That are peeping OCT the grass And the balmy, breezy hours That each Spring have come to pass?

THEY ARE NOT ALL DEAD.

Yesterday there appeared on the editorial page of the Herald almost four columns of names, full list of the soldier and sailor dead at rest in the cemeteries of New Britain. Their graves will be decorated on the morrow, Memorial Day. They are our honored dead
 In nineteen wars New Britain has been represented by it's brave hearted
 men and boys. Even before the pres ent name of the town was known,
 men from this vicinity marched out to battle with the forces that finally overthrew the British. The pages of Connecticut's history reek with the brave deeds done by men whose de- scendants now live in the confines of this -city. From 1776 down to 1917 is a long stretch. There are those who went forth in battle from this city never to return. There are soQle Whose bodies found resting places on the battlefelds of the nation, on foreign soil, in far-away climes. These graves. if they are decorated tomor- row, will he cared for by loving hands devoted to the same cause, the .ven- seration and love of our soldier and sailor dead. Those whose graves we have here will not go neglected. The thoughts of the day will recall with quick visualization the many valorous deeds performed on land and sea by these patriots of New Britain
 That it requires four columns of a newspaper to print the list of the soldier and sailor dead of New Brit ain is in itself tribute to the man. hood and courage of this community. on the verge of the greatest war the United States has ever en- tered we do we'll to honor the ones who fought our battles years ago wbile at the same time we glorify those who take up the sword today. The patriots are not all dead.
