Soup on the Menu.

One Of the first suggestions that
make when the war brought about
need for food thrift was that we
should eliminate one course from din
ner, and this appealed to lots Of peo-
pie who had the planning of meals in
| their hands, because it eliminated the
service of one course as well as the
| saving of food. A good many house
wives and managers Of dormitories
and boarding housekeepers forthwith
cut out soup as a wartime thrift
meaS sure.
Now, the last thing that the thrifty
French housewife would do would be
to eliminate soup; in fact, even the
really poor folk in France, if they
make any pretense to good manage
| ment, have their soup for dinner, even
! though aeroplanes raid and long
distance guns drop bombs outside the
| doors. Those who have returned from
| France. and who have dined with the
/! simplest folk there and made a study
, of their cookery, tell us that, and it
| is exactly what any one would expect
! who has known anything of the
| methods Of the French housewife and
| the French cook.
For soup is the dish par excellence
| In which we can use up leftovers in
/ the way of meats and vegetables.
When the English woman has to
| make tea cakes out of the yesterday
porridge and scenes out of mashed
potatoes from last nights dinner, she
has reason to feel depressed. But it
is a matter of course, especially for
| the French housewife, to put leftover
meats, even down to the well scraped
bone, bits of vegetables and every
thing else that is in any way nourish-
ing into the soup kettle. They have
done it over there for centuries, and
there is no feeling of self-pity now
when they do it more ZealouSly than
|, ever.
A lot of leftover dishes-call them
ragouts, croquettes, timbales or what
you will-are rather messy looking
affairs at best, and they do take a
long time to prepare. But soup made
appearance as that for which you
might get fresh soup bone-only, of
course. no one ever does get fresh
soup bones nowadays. It takes no
great skill to become a good soup
maker. nor much time to turn out
good soup. 1t Is necessary to have a
fairly good palate, for soup must be
seasoned to taste. There is no rule
about it; it all depends on what you
have made 1t out of as to what sea-
soning it needs.
1t is also necessary to be very
terials in good condition and to keep
the utensils in perfect cleanliness.
That is why some inferior cooks al
ways produce soup with a cloudy
taste-because they think they can be
careless about these matters. And
though soup needs long cooking. it
needs very slow and low tempera-
ture cooking. and this consumes but
little gas and requires no special
forcing of the fire if you use coal So
don't Danish soup from the bill of
fare. 1t adds tone to dinners, gives
important nourishment and uses up
material that would otherwise be

My "Con,e Again"

called it meat loaf. You know-a
couple of pounds of finely chopped
lean beef and one of chopped pork
seasoned and baked in At buttered
bread pan, nodded around three or
four hard=boiled eggs, laid end to

any more. You see we add to the
seasoning a good two tablespoon
fuls of AL Sauce-and that makes
all the difference in the world, turn

The Best Cough Syrup
Is Homemade
+ Here's an easy way to save So, and yet
4 have the best cough remedy you
nS ever tried.


You've probably heard of this
we'll known plan of making cough
syrup at home. But have you ever
used it? When you do, you will I'M
derstand why thousands of families
the world over feel that they could
hardly keep house without it. It's
simple and cheap, but the way it
takes hold of a cough will quickly
earn it a permanent place in your
home.
Into a pint bottle pour III ounces
of Pinex; then add plain granulated
sugar syrup to fill up the pint. Or,
if desired, use clarified molasses,
honey or corn syrup, instead of
sugar syrup. Either way, it tastes
good, never spoils and gives you a
full pint of better cough remedy
than you could buy ready-made for
three times its cost.
1t is really wonderful how quickly
this homemade remedy conquers
a cough-usually in twenty=four
hours or less. 1t seems to penetrate
through every air passage, loosens
dry, hoarse or tight cough, lifts
the ph1egm, heals the membranes
and gives almost immediate relief.
Splendid for throat tickle, hoarse-
ness, Group, bronchitis and bronchial
asthma.
Pinex is a highly concentrated
compound of genuine Norway pine
extract, and has been used for gen.
erations for throat and chest all
ments.
To avoid disappointment ask your
druggist for "z11 ounces of Pinex"
with directions, and don't accept
anything else. Guaranteed to give
absolute satisfaction or money re-

how recklessly his scissors or knife

produce the primitive effect at which
he aims. The gown consists of tight

are out of fashion, especially when
they are made by a master hand and

This tunic, which is Of vanilla color

would be long. straight, medieval
tunic if it did not take a notion to
curve in slightly at the waist line and
fit the bust with more precision than
the majority of tunicS. 1t is embroid-
cred from neck to hem with gold thread
in bold designs and this embroidery is
so secure that it can be slashed
straight through with the scissors
when the designer goes after his deep
fringe. The narrow skirt is merely a
deep band of black satin, as far as the
fringe goes, and is then a soft, thin
material that runs up to the neck.

Adopting Fringe From Primitives

Lace ruff1es were the followers of
fringe, but the primitives of all ma
lions INDUCED in the cruder type Of
ornamentation. Even our Indians did
not forsake it. Whether Americas en-
try into the war caused the French
designers to look into the more orna-
mental parts of her history and extract
the crude and blazing designs and the
fringing of fabrics, no one can tell
The fact remains that the thing is
done and the psychology of it may
penetrate to deeper basis than Amer
1ca's friendly invasion of France.
Bulloz. who since the war is one of
the master designers of Paris, was
credited with introducing fringe and
last year he turned out a number of
American women in gowns that gave
them the silhouette of a barber pole
with bias lines of fringe going around
their bodies from shoulder to ankle
Today, since the use of manufactured
fringe is banal and threatens to be-
come too popular for conservative
woman, Bulloz SlaSheS the material of

NEW YORK, October Probably
the beginning of ornamentation on
apparel was fringe. 1t wse the
easiest way to put bit of frivolity
on sober surface. 1t could be slash
ed with implements and it was worn,
evidently, by men in those days when
human instinct impelled the male to
incorporate coquetry into his clothing
In order to attract the attention of the
female
Always. throughout the centuries,
until this one, it has been the place of
the male of the human species to lead
in fashions, because he was the war
rior, the fighter and the one who was
supposed to have the greatest amount
OF personal vanity. He kept this in
stinct. along with other animal traits,
as he grew into civilized status, and
why he has ceased to indulge in them
and use them as power is a subject
for the biologist, not the fashion
writer.
Whatever the male used to do in the
way of apparel women now do For a
century they have trodden in his foot
steps. Let us hope that they will
never arrive at the extreme ugliness
OF apparel which he now indorses, for
if the male and the female of the
human race were to put themselves
into drab and somber uniforms, with
out a touch of coquetry or color, there
would be mental disaster on this
planet.

Harvesting SheIIac.

Shellac is a resinous substance, de-
posted on the twigs of various trees
in India and southern Asia by the lac
insects. At the proper time the twigs
are broken off by the native collec-
tors and exposed to the sun to kill the
insects and to dry the lac. These
twigs with the attached resin, in
closed insects and ova constitute the
stick lac. Seed lac is obtained from
stick lac by removing the resinous con-
cretions from the twigs and triturat-
ing with water. The greater part Of
the coloring matter Is dissolved and
the granular portion, which remains
after drying, is the seed lac. Shell
lac, or shellac, Is obtained by melting
the seed lac in cotton cloth bags, strain
ing and allowing it to drop on to sticks
or leaves. In this way the resin
spreads into thin plates, in which state
1t Is found in commerce..

Gould ExtermInate Germans.

Experiments made since the German
bombardment Of Armentieres with a
mysterious gas shell have disclosed
that the poison was arsine, known In
the laboratory as ars~eniureted hydro
gen, one of the deadliest fumes known
to the chemists, according to a trench
correspondent.
In Armentieres the gas from the
shells contipued its deadly work for
nearly q week, although the shells
were all thrown in n hour. More
than 1000 men, women and children
died, many In commissions and many
stark mad.
The significant fact in regard to the
arsine bomb which the Germans likely
overlooked is that while the amount of
the drug in Germany is limited, the al
lies have limitless supplies. If Britain
and France wish to retaliate they could
in less than a year manufacture these
bombs in sufficient quantities to kill
every living thing in the German en-
pire.
1t would be a question only of get
ting enough airplanes to carry and
drop them.

remnerance in Diet.

Abstemiousness in diet is one of the
very soundest of the means that are
recommended for youth preservation
and longevity. Extreme temperance in
diet as a means to long life was wide
ly proclaimed some centuries ago by
an Italian philosopher who claimed to
have lived on one egg and a little wine
each day. AS meats and wine were
then considered the sole sources OF
strength, the gentleman doubtless
thought it unnecessary to tell us how
much bread and vegetables he ate. But
