SWISS RUN MODEL HOTELS
Are a Sample of the Progressive Methods of the Race.

Wherever the Swiss go they estab~ fish good hotels. In Uruguay there is a Swiss colony, called New Helvetia, devoted largely to farming.
 The land, which was one of the gar den spots of Uruguay, was divided into small farms and sold to Swiss col onists more than fifty years ago at a low price and on easy terms. The ordinary products of the farm have found a wider and wider market, and in the last few years the dairy inter est has become noted. Grapes and other fruits are also extensively cul- tivated Now that the section is reached by railways it is becoming very well known. The good hotels of- fer pleasant resting place for excur- sionists from Monteyideo and Buenos Aires. The people are well on ana adopt modern methods of living.

If similar measure is passed by your honorable body I shall promptly sign it. believe In the interest of economy that the present membership on this board should be reduced from 24 to 16 giving each county two directors and that these directors should be elected by the qualified electors residing in each county who have owned land in the 1evee district fot six months prior to the election of d. rectors It is not right that the expendi- trre of millions of dollars for levee pur- poses should be vested in political board appointed by the governor and amenable to his will no matter who Is governor, be- cause this frequently means that the levy ing Of political tribute is matter of mors

Conference of Charity and Correc-

conservation, similar to ours:
"The Allegheny County Garden
club has appropriated Sl,40O for
the purchase Of approximately $50
United States evaporating or vege-
table dryers to conserve the large
surplus of fruit and vegetables ex-
pected in the vicinity this year. Ow-
ing to the output OF fruit cans and
jars being wholly inadequate to the
demand, the less expensive but
wholly satisfactory dryer has been
planned for instead"

the large platters, vegetable dishes,
etc, first, then the individual plates.
, Everything should be removed before
the next course is brought on.
So many times the question is asked
as to the side from which the waitress
should serve Table serving, like
table setting, should be governed by
common sense; and, so far as ! can
see, it makes no difference whether a
plate is removed or placed from the
right side or the left. The only rigid
rule is that dish from which the
guest helps himself, such as a plate Of
bread, must be offered from the left
side. The reason for the rule is clear
it is easier to reach across with the
right hand than backward. One other
absolute rule-in reflling glasses do
not take up at all if it is possible to
refill without so doing, or, If the
glass must be lifted, do not touch the
part toward the brm. Always lift a
goblet by the stem.
For more formal occasions, service
like the Russian is used. Our Ameri-
can method Of serving is really
compromise between the English and
the Russian styles. In the English
style, the platters, etc, are placed on
the table and everything is served by
the host or hostess. In the Russian
style, everything is served from the
pantry. This latter method is always
used at banquets and usually at din
ners or luncheons, which are at all
formal. AT the present time, however,
the guests sometimes serve them
selves from dishes which the waitress
offers. The easiest method of serving
on formal occasions is to remove
the used plate with one hand, and
place the new course with the other
hand. If serving from the right, re.
move with the right hand and serve
with the left; if serving from the left,
remove with the left hand and place
with the right.
Before the dessert course, every
thing should be removed except the
The crumbs may be removed
onto a plate with the aid of a soft
napkin. II pore silver is left at any
place than will be needed for the
Dessert, the extra silver should be
luietly removed.
If finger bowls are used, each bowl
nay be placed on a dolly on a plate,
With flower or sprig of green at one
tide. 1t is unnecessary to speak
!gainst the old fashioned idea of hav-
ng the waitress take one finger bowl
rom guest to guest.
The only general rules to follow
n table serving are to avoid all con-
usion, to secure the comfort of the
amily and guests, and to make the
mechanism Of serving as nearly unob-
rusive as possible.

NeW Potatoes Cheaper
and Vegetables Plentiful

The potato season has advanced
pretty we'll toward the north by the
present time and the tubers are fair
ly starting from the ground and wax
ing big and fat and they have already
started putting crimp in the swollen
spud market.
For the price OF new potatoes is
now almost as low as the price of
old ones. Or, you can say it another
way. Say the price of old potatoes
is nearly as high as the price of new
ones. One big store quotes old pota-
toes at IS cents peck and new po-
tatoes at 95 cents I. peck. A big po-
tato crop is expected and the price, if
the law OF supply and demand are
in good working order, is expected
to drop materially in the next few
weeks.
As for the other green vegetables,
