Some Neglected Foods.

Among the foodstuffs that American
housekeepers have scarcely utilized are
turnip tops, radish tops, mustard
plants, sorrel and chick peas, among
the vegetables, and the cheese product
that can be extracted from whey. The
green's mentioned may all be cooked
like spinach or they may be made into
delicious cream soups, as they have
been for centuries by European house
wives. Enough sorrel grows in the
average vacant lot in every city to
make many purees or cream soups.
Chick peas are as nutritious as
beans, and when served in broth are
just as tasty. They also can be made
into PURGE. Radish tops and mus.
tard leaves make a cheap and appe
tizing salad.

On CLOSING the Eyes.

Going to and from your place OF
employment In street cars or in autos
close your eyes. There is nothing ia
see worth seeing. The streets through
which you pass are lined with com
.monplace shops. The boulevards are
lined with horrid billboards that adj
vertise tobacco and liquors. The won.
en- and girls on the car are not worth
flirting with. The men are all closely
shaver. They look more like women
than the women look like themselves

spectacle Of modern civilization. Glad.

Destroying Old Letters.

There is only one good way to clean
your desk of old letters. That is SIM
ply to take out each drawer in its turn
and turn 1t upside down over the
waste-basket, without regard to wheth-
er there Is anything valuable In the
contents. There isn't anything valu-
able there, or you wouldn't have cast
IL among the old letters In the first
place. Furthermore, if you begin re-
reading letters, you know it, and you'll
wind up with almost as burdensome
an accumulation as you started with.
And you know before you start that
the letters you'd like to keep are the
ones you dare not keep, especially If
you're married. So throw them all
away at once. 1t will set an admirable
example to your wife. who has an at
tic full of the same grade Of junk

HAD HIS OWN EXPLANATION
Novel Interpretation Of Picture
to Companion.

A lady and gentleman were standing
before a picture by Millais, called
Trust Me-" in which an elderly squire
confronts his daughter, who holds a
letter behind her back.
The picture admits of more explana-
lions than one, for Mr.. Millais has that
rare faculty of putting blended express
sions into his faces which puzzle us,
as the expression of real faces do, says
London Tit-Bits.
But the one this gentleman was over
heard giving his companion is as new,
we will be bound to say, to the painter
as to our readers. You see," he said,
''she has got letter in her hand which
she is keeping back from. the man in
the red coat. Well, he is the postman,
and has just given her the letter; I
suppose it's from abroad. She hasn't
the money to pay the postage, so she
says, Trust me-"
The explanation was given with per-
feet gravity, and in apparent good
faith. 1t was gratefully accepted In
the same spirit, and the lady seemed
proud Of her companions intelligence

WHAT HIS FACE DISCLOSED
Innkeeper Decided Famous Traveller
Would Let No One Stop Him From
Having What He Wanted.

In his new book of personal rec
objections, "In Good Company" Coul-
son Kernahan tells characteristic an
ecdote about Edward Whymper, the
famous traveller and mountaineer.
The two men had gone for Sunday
morning ramble, and after walking
some four miles they came to way
side inn.
Said Whymper: 81 had some very
salt bloaters for breakfast. Do you
mind If / call in here and slake my
thirst?"
1t was within the prohibited hours,
but Whymper, nevertheless, knocked
sharply and loudly in his usual master
full way, and when the door was
opened by a frowsy-looking man in
shirtsleeves. said dryly, in more senses
than one:
II am thirsty and want drink.
please"
Are you a bona fide traveler?" in
quired the man.
This rather tickled Whymper, who,
glancing down at his dusty attire. in
quired of the landlord If he didn't look
like one.
81 don't know" replied the man.
looking at Whymper very hard in the
face, "but I'll tell you what you do look
like If you wish. You look to me
like a man who, IL he's made up his
mind to have a drink, would have it
whether he was bona fide traveller
or not, and, what's more, wouldn't let
no one stop him from having it."

POI CARS OF APPLES
 SHIPPED TO DATE
Car Situation Improved Considerably
 Over Last Week.

Up to Wednesday of this week a to- tai of POI cars of apples have been shipped from Springdale this season. The price remains practically the same as last week.
 As a result of the activities of local growers and shippers the car situa- ton shows considerable improvement over conditions last week Tele- grams signed by growers and ship pers were sent to railroad headquar- ters latter part of last week, and a telegram was also sent to the Nation al Commission at Washington which has supervisory control over the rail- roads during the war period, asking for some action that would save the apple crop to the country. As re- suit of all this shippers on Wednesday stated they were now getting cars practically as their needs required.
 There are many apples yet in the orchards to be gathered, and it is thought the total shipments from Springdale for the season will run to at least 900 ears. Gould ears have been secured =at the proper time this
