Juice added and thickened with con

A few sliced berries may be used
as garnish for a gelatin dessert,
for the sherbet cups of junket or for
squares of angel cake with whipped
cream and berries for dessert.
A little sugar added to the roast
or stew will add to the flavor and
1t will brown with a richer color.
When the coffee cream has soured
add little soda and a teaspoonful
of sugar; beat until well blended and
it will usually be unnoticed, unless
the cream was too sour.
Rhubarb and Pear SaIad.-Bake two
cupfuls of rhubarb with half cup
full of sugar added when nearly cook
ed. Let stand to chill. Mix togeth-
er four tablespoonfuls of olive oil, two
of lemon juice, a teaspoonful of su-
gar, salt and cayenne pepper to taste.
Arrange the rhubarb, which should be
tender but not broken, with six halves
of canned pears on bed of lettuce (;
pour over the dressing, sprinkle with
chopped candied ginger and serve.
Frozen Prune FIuff.-Soak a pound
of prunes overnight in three pints of
water. In the morning add sugar TO
sweeten and the rind of half an or
ange; cook until the prunes are ten
der. Strain off the juice and remove
the peel. Stone the prunes and rub
them through a sieve; add the juice,
half-cupful of finely chopped wal
nut meats and two unbeaten egg
whites, then freeze. Serve garnished
with orange marmalade.
Amber Marmalade.-Put one grape
fruit, one lemon and one orange,
through the meat grinder; add ten
cupfuls of water and let stand over
night, then cook until tender; let
stand again overnight, add ten cup
fuls of sugar and cook until thick.

wiped before removing the cap for
two reasons, the first because Of

Use wooden spoons in stirring foods.
A hard rap of a metal spoon on the

pieces of the lining of the dish; this
gets into the food and is as dangerous
as glass. A wooden spoon never be-
comes too hot to handle and is much
easier on the hands in stirring.
Water drained from cooked rice or

Nails and roughness in the heel OF

Pound down the nails and glue piece

The wise buyer will purchase good

Sage and Sulphur Dark
ems So Naturally No
body Can Tell

Grandmother kept her hair beautiful
ly darkened, glossy and attractive
with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair took ON that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this
simple mixture was applied with won
derful effect. BY asking at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound you will get a large bot
tie Of this old time recipe, improved
by the addition of other ingredients,
all ready to use, for about so cents.
This simple mixture can be depended
upon to restore natural color and beau
ty to the hair.
A well known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied
it's so easy to use too. You simply
dampen a comb or soft brush and draw
it through your hair, taking one strand
at a time. By morning the gray hair
disappears; after another application
or two, it is restored to its natural col.
or and looks glossy, soft and beautiful

Evening Sun financial review today

About the only features Of strength

ticularly in the last. The rails were in
good form with especially good demand

In the absence of other factors, the

when 1 told my employer l was going

with the hardware man, l crossed Lake

State, where l hoed beans for a sum

hoe was dl, and the sun was as hot
as blazes, and there didn't seem to be
any scase in hoeing beans, anyhow.
From New York 1 took my way west

pire. L stopped a while in Ohio, then
in Illinois, and finally reached st.
Louis, where | went to work in a
printing establishment and kicked a
job press through the hottest summer
ever invented. There wal a humorous
weekly called the Hornet" in st,
Louis, and l sent some stuff to it; the
Hornet printed it, and the editor
wrote to me and asked nc to call. He
offered me five dollars a week to go
to work in the office writing gems of

with the Hornet until it went broke.

of work, and being ambitious to get
into the newspaper business. l managed
to get q job with the L~eavenworth

the 'Atchison Globe, and there learned
a great deal that was useful to me.
From that time forward j was chasing
myself over the country, and was con.
nected with newspapers in a dozen
cities, hut always had the idea that
the next town would be a little better,
and kept moving around. | was mix
ing up farming with newspaper work
in Nebraska for a good many years
and making a failure of both. 1t took
me a good while to discover that pigs
and poetry won't mix. When 1 did
find it out l came to Kansas and went
to work for William Allen White
writing stuff for to editorial page Of
the Emporia Gazette The Gazette
always printed ON its first page al
item of local news with a border
around it, called a star head. One day
the city editor was shy Of the neces

thing to fill that space, l wrote a it'll,
prose rhyme, advising people to go t.
