Other films include the screaming Mack Sennett comedy, "A Ladies' Tailor" with Ben Turpin and a bevy of Sennett's bathing beauties The other Keith vaudeville acts on the bill consist of Armstrong and Downey in a comedy novelty offering and Connolly and Francis in a sing ing and musical speciality.

In the kitchen of her own home Sis ter Mary cooks daily for a family of 1 four adults. She brought to her kitchen an understanding of the chem istry of cooking, gained from study of domestic science in a state university. Consequently the advice she offers is 8. happy combination of theory and practice. Every recipe she gives is her own, first tried out and served at her family table.
 Bake your Christmas fruit cake now!
 With eggs the price they are and sugar the somewhat minus quantity it is. the housekeeper needs all her wits and tact to make possible the usual yuletide cakes and cookies. She must save sugar in order to make them and keep her family good natured with promises of good things to come.
 Though your fruit cake should be baked now, the cookies may be made Christmas week. A box of these latter with a slice or two of fruity cake makes a toothsome remembrance to send a friend. Som mebodys e1se's cook ie salways taste so much better than your own.
 Also it's nice to have a set of cookie cutters in fancy shapes. The kiddies love birds and pussies and fishes and Christmas stars And don't forget these same can be made wonderfully realistic if you use little black cur rants for eyes while tiny slices of cit ron make a, perfectly good mouth and nose.
 And now, want to call your special attention to my recipe for Christmas fruit cake. It calls for NEITHER EGGS NOR BUTTER. And it's per fectly delicious, honestly. Mine is all ready baked and hidden away most carefully from the big man at our house. He says this cake is as great a temptation as Eyes apple was to Adam and that as sure as ever he found it he would 'fall!" So I have to keep it hidden until Christmas when he certainly does fall for it to the last crumb
 Here is the recipe It makes three large sized loaves that packed in an air tight tin box will keep indefinite ly.

Germany's stiff-necked denseness
in sensing the necessity for her strict
compliance with the first arnistice
terms, and her brazen indignation at
the harder ones imposed as a penalty
for nonfulfillment of the first, make
one think of the banker at Weeping
Water, Neb., who was asked by an
impecunious farmer for a loan. The
banker was one of those people who
are deaf for commercial purposes. The
farmer was chronically wanting to Dor
row, and his security was getting
shaky.

the farmer.

his lame ear and said:

He was United States marine, just

know French, and he wasn't aware
of the fact that everything in a sea-
coast town like Brest is named after
the sea, which, of course, is ia ma
rine."
Therefore, when he walked along
the streets reading the signs his eyes
began to open wider and wider. Here
was the Brasserie de la Marine, here
the Patisserie de la Marine, the Cafe
de la Marine and everything else that
possibly could carry the affix ode la
