So then. have you hung 1t. ever 90

So. then. perhaps. you have decided
to keep your sweaters In q bureau

Well. here Is . suggestion to make
the keeping Of your sweaters truly
easy. Have q special sweater holder.
This special holder Is no more than a
huge embroidery ring. Of the sort that
is used for the handles and tops of
knitting bags. Attach q ribbon or
tape to the ring at each end. and by
means of this ribbon hang it on q
hook. Then pull the sweater thru the
ring. Several may be placed on the
same ring without any trouble.
The ring. to be best fitted for its
work, should be wound with satin rib

ribbon makes it easier to pull the
sweaters thru the ring and there is no
possibility Of splinters from the sur.
face Of the wood when it Is covered

GILpEp BRICK DONATED
TO MUSEUM IN MISSOURI
Missouri Banker Saved from Loss by
Cashier Who Was Wise to the
SWIndler's Game

Macon, Mo.-One Of the curious OBJ
jects which has just been donated to
the museum of the Macon library is
an alleged gold brick. now the proper
~ Of John A. Cook. This gilded brick
came very near separating a banker
from $4,000 some years ago. Mr.. Cook
got the brick from a lady who Is now
tie widow of an ex-sheriff Of the coun.
ty. and he has kept it all these years
waiting for the time when Macon
should have good public library with
q museum annex.
Along with the brick is a small vial
OF gold dust, black mask and a bot.

Some twenty yeas ago a couple OF
we'll known operators. w. A. Atkins
and Dave McCCru. arranged the plan
10 sell their bogus brick to a wealthy
Linn county banker for $4,000. McCord
rlayed the Indian. He established a
t.pee In wild looking place on the
Charlton River. painted his cheeks
red and hunted up lot of chicken
feathers for his hair Then he got
some Indian blankets. tomahawk
and long stemmed pipe. He looked
like noble Indian all right.
Atkins then young and cookbook.
ing man. hailed from st. Louis, told
the Linn county banker that he had
learned OF the whereabouts of an old
Indian who woa di0Cino anano th.,
Indian mounds on the Charlton Rivec
for some relics OF his ancestors. He
said the Indian was the discoyerer Of
n fabulous rich mine In the west and
that he, had along with him a brick
made out of gold taken from his mine.
The brick, Atkins said was worth
$4,000 or $4,000. but the Indian had
no idea OF Its value and might be In
duced to part vith It for $4,000. Atkins
proposed that he and the banker
would divide the profits.
The banker came to Macon county,
and the Indian made for him like he
was going to chop his head off. but
Atkins interposed. spoke soothingly
and managed TO get possession Of the
gold brick for a while to have Il test.

Meat and potatoes are good food
combination. and may be a better diet
than bread and meat, according to the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture. At this time, when q plentiful
supply Of potatoes makes them cheap.
and when wheat and flour are high.
the average family, says the depart
ment, may find 1t wise to eat less
wheat foods. and to use potatoes In.
stead. Potatoes at q dollar a bushel
give more energy and good mineral
basis than bread at cents half
pound loaf.
Most persons like potatoes with
meat. and they furnish valuable
starch; but It is pointed out that mere
starch Is not all that Is needed. and
that the mineral content Of potatoes
is Of value In counteracting the acid
forming substances IN meat. These
acids are present also N cereals. while
vegetables, fruit. and milk have an ex.
cess OF neutralizing alkalis. Therefore
potatoes are better with meats than
are rice, bread, and nacaroni.
Furthermore. potatoes assist In reg.
ulating the digestive tract. to . great
er extent than white flour. macaroni.
and polished rice. Potatoes may be
added to the diet in bread itself by
mixing q portion OF finely mashed DO
tatoes with flour.
