one does any vegetable. When lettuce
gets a little old Is the best time to
turn it into greens. Dress it with

of the year when there is such a
wealth Of fruit and vegetables we
should see that they are served every
day upon our tables. For those who
accuse the salad Of giving them in

small quantities will cause stomach

HOW SNAKES HELP FARMER
Valuable to the Tiller of the
Soil Are Their Services.

Snakes are a valuable asset and
there should be a campaign against
killing them, writes Gayne T. X. Nor
atom, in the American Forestry Maya
zine. The article goes on to show
what the snake does for food cOnSer-
Walton by ways of killing rodents and
insects, the greatest enemies to grain
that man knows. The public has be-
come acquainted with snakes as never
before, writes Mr.. Norton, because of
the thousands who have been engaged
in the campaign for war gardens that
has been conducted by the national
emergency food garden commission.
with this summer the millions of
war gardens have given the snake pop,
ular interest. Tremendously increased
tillage has brought people and snakes
together
unless much education work is
done the number of snakes that will
be killed next year by the well-mean-
ing but miSinformed gardeners will be
very large. Our snakes are q national
asset worth many millions of dollars
and should be conserved The rela-
ton they bear to successful crops is
mportant-mOre important than even

the trees are as large as an ordinary

can hold.
Spiced Cherries.-Cherries are
spiced as any other fruit. Take seven
pounds of the cherries to five pounds
Of sugar, three tablespoonful each Of
cinnamon and cloves tied in a cloth
and cooked in pint of vinegar. Cook
all together an hour and half very
slowly: Remove the bag of spices, if
desired, before putting away.
Cherry Oives.-Get the rich, dark,
well-flavored cherries. TIC pint of the
cherries left with the stems on add
cup each of water and vinegar; add
teaSpoonful of salt and seal. They will
be ready as an appetizer in two weeks.
Picked Cherries.-Pit the desired
quantity of cherries and cover over
night with good vinegar; in the
morning drain and add an equal weight
of sugar. Stir occasionally through
the day, then set away in a cool eel
lar, covered with a cloth and plate.
The vinegar may be sweetened and

Cherries canned fresh are delicious.
Add equal measures Of pitted cherries
and sugar, stir until the sugar is dis

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS,

New York-There is no getting
away from the Paris situation in it's
cause and effect upon clothes, asserts a
prominent authority.
The nation, like others, has leaned
upon that one city Of the universe for
Its inspiration, guidance and material
and artistic help in the making, selling
and exploiting of women's apparel.
To have the bond weakened that
connects US with Paris is to have the
feeling that a child has when it's
mother turns it loose and tells it to
walk alone to the nearest chair. There
Is in the minds of the buyers, we i'm
agine, something of the panic that
must come to the young brain when it
knows that it must depend upon moth
ing but its own legs for support in a
wide oasis of space.
We did not get this feeling when
the war broke, because two or three
thousand gowns were assembled in
nearing Compiegne. Even the sub
marine menace did not break the bond
for the succeeding two summers, but
1t perceptibly weakened after last
season and now we are confronted
with a situation in this country that
has grown to strength and Importance

Cold drinks in hot weather are bad

miserieO are greatly aggravated in hot
weather. You can't be too careful.
Sunstroke can be traced in many cases
to poor digestion. Everyone should
watch their stomach in hot weather.
Keep it sweet and cool. Here is an
easy and pleasant way to correct stom-

THE "MADE IN U. S. A."
LABEL.

Once upon a time every wom-
} an shrugged her shoulders at an
American label and asked for
something French. To give her
what she wanted, deception Of
the meaneSt kind was practiced.
A French label was slipped into
the gown of an American de-
, signer, and often the designer
stood by and saw the gown over
which she had labored for weeks
sold as a product "just from
Paris"
But there is an immense fight
on, started and vigorously
waged for honesty, pride and
; direct purpose in the launching
of new American fashions as
American products.
We are now to have a made
in U. S. A" label and women
are, urged to be considerable of
it, not contemptuous. The pub
lie must be trained to give con-
sideration to the new project,
and a propaganda is to be
spread throughout the continent
that urges such consideration
from every woman who buys a
piece of feminine apparel.
There Is no need to be con-
temptuous, my dear women.
Equally, there is no need to say
we can do without Paris. But
the new situation is a healthy
one and it must be encouraged.
