LITTLE THINGS YOU SHOULD
KNOW.

Orange juice is a preventive of
scurvy among children who use
pasteurized milk.
Tomatoes filled with minced pine
apple, celery and chopped nuts mixed
with mayonnaise are delicious.
Pack glass and china in hay that
Is slightly damp. This will prevent
the articles from slipping about.
Apples, cored and filed with chop
ped dates or figs, then baked, make an
excellent breakfast dish.
Parsley and sweet herbs should be
gathered on a sunshiny day when
full grown If they are to be dried.
If white potatoes are inclined to
turn black when being boiled, add a
few drops of vinegar to the water
they are boiled in.
Choose the summer meals with a
deliberate view to economizing in
fuel and thus avoiding the overhead
ing Of the house.

ter. Pacifics yielded | to "a points,

latter group. Equipments. shippings
and tobaccos forfeited much of their
early advantage with motors, but a
few specialties, notably leather and
paper issues, responded to the activI--
ty of the pools. A further rally in
Italian exchange denoted a MORE
hopeful view of the foreign situation.
Liberty As sold at 97.76 to $500 and

minor specialties also hardened sub
stantially but rails manifested further
