than ever in planning to make our meals tempting and appetizing. Salads offer, perhaps, the best means of doing this. A luncheon containing rye bread instead of white flour rolls and without the usual garnishes, is rendered dainty and tempting if delicious salad forms one course. Here are some rather un- usual salads, good for either luncheon or dinner
 BUTTERMILK SALAD
 Take one pint of cold boiled potatoes and a half pint of stale bread cut in cubes. Fry in drippings or lard to a crisp brown. Sprinkle literally with salt and pour over all q pint of fresh sweet buttermillx. Serve immediately,
 A COMBINATION SALAD
 Take a bunch of celery, half a pound of stoned dates and half pound of al- most any kind of nuts except almonds. Chop these ingredients into small pieces. and when they have been well mixed add the pulp of three grapefruit; ar range on crisp lettuce leaves and dress with mayonnaise.
 SWEET SALAD
 Remove the pits from dates and stuff them with mixture of cream cheese and chopped nut. tCut them in slices, mix them with some apple finely sliced and sprinkled with lemon juice. Add a little dried celery, mix thoroughly with a boiled dressing. Serve very cold Tn lettuce leaves.
 ORANGE AND NUT SALAD
 Peel juicy oranges and break them into sections. removing every particle of the white skin. Arrange a bed of crisp iet- tuce leaves on dish and place the orange pulp on them. Chop walnut meats, not too fine, and sprinkle over the whole. Serve with French dressing.

bERTRAM ELECTRIC
 TAKE B|C QUARTERS

After five years of successful mer- chandising the Bertram Electric com pany of 16 South Central avenue is moving into much larger quarters at 124 West Washington street. The new quarters will have 2.500s feet of floor space, making the establishment one of the very largest of its kind in the southwest.
 The new establishment will not only afford splendid room for display of the large stock of goods the company carries. for the demonstration of cleo trical appliances, but also plenty of room for factory work such as motor and transformer winding and general electrical repair work and rebuilding.
 Heretofore the company has been obliged to maintain a separate repair shop and warehouse, but in the new place the various departments of the company will be combined in the most efficient possible method. There will also be room for a very large stock of electrical goods and supplies which will be stocked to handle both the re- tail and wholesale trade.
 F. C. Hoeppner is the secretary treasurer and general manager of the company, MT. Bertram having entered national service.
 The company will be in it's new | quarters about october 1.

FEDERAL AGENT NOW
 CHECKING UP WORK

Ben W. Johnson, federal agent for industrial education with the federal board for vocational education is in the city checking up with Professor I. Col odny the work in this state under the Smith Hughes act. MT. Johnson said yesterday that the war had given d great stimulus to the work and had ac- centuated the need of vocational train ing, not only in preparing boys for ser vice but in preparing them for the work of reconstruction following the war.
 MT. Colodny has outlined a plan for giving greater efficiency to those schools which are now availing them selves of the act and also a plan for the education of boys from IA years to IS years of age for whom no provision is now made. He believes that state school for such boys should be estab- lished.
 It is not the business of the federal government, said MT. Johnson to aS- tablish a program for the states. That is left to the states themselves. The government is interested only in know ing that the program whatever it may be is efficiently followed.
