HOW SHE KEPT YOUNG.

An old lady who managed to retain an
appearance much younger than her
years, with bright eye and a smooth,
healthful skin, although her age was
over seventy, was asked how she con-
long, says the Irish World. This was
her reply:
II knew how to forget disagreeable
things.
Il tried to master the art of saying
pleasant things.
II did not expect too much of my
friends.
II kept my nerves well in hand and
did not allow them to bore other peo-
pie.
Il tried to find congenial any work
l had to do.
81 retained the illusions of my youth,
and didn't believe every man a liar and
every woman spiteful.'

very stunning gay wool flowers? Scat

they are ever so pretty on gingham

heavy yarn, and work in some Of the
very new colors-wistaria, capucine,

TABLE ETIQUETTE IN ENGLAND
II Differs From That in America in
Use of "Tools-"

From American Cookery.
The English say that the Americans
do not know how to use their tools,
meaning knives and forks and spoons.
When eating fish, the English woman
takes a fork in each hand. and with
prongs down tears the fish, removing
the bones, quite daintily.
Apples are eaten with a knife and
fork. One spears the apple, cuts it in
halves and then in sections small
enough for the mouth. Oranges are sup
posed to be eaten the same way, but are
sometimes refused because they are too
difficult to handle.
Apricot sauce is served on a large,
fiat dinner plate, and dessert spoon
and fork are used to transfer the
sauce to the mouth.
Instead of placing the knife and fork
parallel with each other, at the right
side of the plate, as we do, the English
place the two tools across the center
and it really makes it easier for the
servant to handle.
FRlLLS AND FRiLlS.
All the frilly forms Of ncckwear are
in high favor.

public school pupils, in making avail

UNCLE SAL KEEPS
WATCH ON OUR FOoI
BotuIinus Poison Never Pres
ent In Sound Food.

Botulinus poisoning which recent,

The enforcement Of the Food and

son In ripe olives. The olives re-
manning in the bottle in this case

condition was found in the food in
ether cases investigated by the de-

contain this poison, but any spoil
ed food even though the spoilage
be slight may contain it, and for
this reason. say the officials, all
food showing even the slightest un-

whatever. should be discarded.
The Department of Agriculture
has used every possible effort and

says the officials. Each time when
botulinus poisoning has occurred
food inspectors have traced through
the channels of commerce the bate
from which the poisonous food
came and have used all measures
under the law to remove it from
the market. Samples from all other
brands put out by the packer have
been examined. Since the law au-
thorizes seizure in such cases only
when the foods are actually found
to be deeomposed or contain pois-
onous ingredients, since only an
occasional package in millions Is
infected with bacillus botulinus,
and since it Is physically possible
