Kitchen Hints
Tempting Menus

Sweet picked fruits often make a
delicious accompaniment to roasts.
The same rule is used for all fruits.
The amount of spices may vary ac-
cording to taste. Whole spices tied
in a little bag make q clear, uncloud-
ed vinegar strip. A large amount
should be used then of ground spices.
Peaches. pears, apples and pluns
are picked most satisfactorily.
Rule for Sweet Pickles
Three pounds fruit, 1 pound sugar,
l pint vinegar. 2 tablespoons small
pieces stick cinnamon, L teaspoon
whole cloves.
Let vinegar, sugar and spices come
to a boil. Pour over prepared fruit
in a crock and let stand over night.
In the morning boil fruit in the
vinegar strip until fruit is clear. or
about an hour. Pack In sterilized
cans and pour over vinegar to fill
cans full to overlooking and seal.
Peach Mangoes
T~hirty-six large peaches, A table,
spoons sweet green peppers, 2 table,
spoons mustard seed, / teaspoon
full salt, l tablespoon minced horse
radish' 2 tablespoon celery seed, 3
cups sugar, 6 cups vinegar.
wipe OIL luz WITH q coarse ClOIIs
Cut in halves and remove stones.
Pour over boiling sailed water and
let stand "a hours. Drain and put
in fresh cold water for fifteen min
utes. Wipe dry. Fill each cavity
with the chopped green pepper,
mustard seed, salt, horseradish and
celery seed. Tie halves together and
pack in a sterilized crock. Make
a syrup of the sugar and vinegar
and pour boiling hot yer the
peaches. Cover tightly and store in
a dark, cool place. When making
the stuf1ing mix salt and mustard
seed and pour ove boiling water.
Let stand ten or fifteen minutes and
drair. Add finely chopped peppers,
hCrseradish and celery seed.
Little green melons that may be
nipped by frost before they are big
enough to eat are delicious stuffed
and picked. Cut off one end of the
melon, scoop out the inside and fast
en- the end back on. Soak in orine
strong enough to bear an egg for
"a hours. Stuff and pickle as in the
preceding recipe. Add a few cooked
green beans and tiny cucumbers to
the stuffing ingredients. Reheat the
vinegar and pour over the pickles
for three consecutive mornings.

one of my guests, l heard my aunt
saying to Mrs. Ribbles:
"Of course it seems odd to have
asked you without Gwen. But she
really couldn't, you know. l told
you about her unfortunate affair
yes, that's it, Gwen broke it up. Yes,
too bad, he was rather a charming
chap"
1 fairly gasped. My aunt was be-
yond me-but while I was shocked,
1 laughed. The "cut throat game"
was getting exciting. And l did not
mind helping her get rid of Gwen.
No one could blame me.

Versatility is the curse Of mod
ern young w~omanhood.
This is the statement of = Miss
Nell Prichard, who has charge of
one of the New York branches Of
the Miller School of Typewriting.
The handicap of the greater per
cent of the girls who attend my
classes is their ability to do a little
of everything and not much of any
thing" says Miss Prichard.
1T is difficult for the girl who can
play the piano fairly well, whose
voice is trained to some degree, who
can chatter a little French and
Spanish, to decide that she can
make her living best at a typewriter
or that she was intended by nature
to be a domestic science expert and
then get about it in earnest.
1.-THE Number of things which the
average twenty-year old girl can half
do, is amazing. And the fact that
she can seldom do n thing really
we'll is pust as amusing"
Miss Prichard is n graduate of
Wtst Virginia University and was
formerly a Paramount, w. Va, girl.

DOG DAYS"

During the dog days' of summer
everybody fears a mad dog" Yet
rabies or hydrophobia, which often
follows the bite of a mad" or rabid
dog, is just as dangerous in winter
as during the hot season. For rabies,
contrary to public opinion, is an all
the-year-round disease.
If cases of rabies seem more fire.
quent in the summer than in the
winter, it may be due 10 the fact
that there are more dogs on the
streets then than during the cold
weather.
The fear aroused by this disease
is well founded and is a heritage of
the centuries. lust as we do, the
barbarians scurried to safety when
a mad dog was about. The disease
has always meant certain death I'M
til the memorable work of Pasteur
gave to the world a treatment that
a proved successful in preventing
it.
A lack of accurate knowledge in
the past has led to much specula-
ton and conjecture as to the nature
of this disease. In recent years care
full Investigations have brought to
light the fact that 1t is a definite
disease due to a specific infection.
AAS pun ma SoasCo lapACo 10
present in the saliva of a rabid ami
NAL and enters the body of another
animal or human being through a
bite or break in the skin. About 30
per cent of all the cases in man fol-
low the bite of a mad" dog. 1t is
possible, however. for the disease to
be transmitted by the bite of any
rabid animal, including human be-
ings.
Generally the disease develops
within from fifteen to ninety days in
man. though it has been known to
develop as early as ten days and as
late as a year or more after the in
fecting bite.
In order to guard against the dan
ger of rabies everyone, especially
dog lovers or those who come in
constant contact with dogs, should
know the symptoms Of rabies. There
are nine which may easily be recog-
nized by the layman. They are Cd
sudden change in disposition, (2)
unusual nervousness or irritability,
CD tendency to leave home, (4)
change in voice to a hoarse bark or
husky growl, (5) difficulty in swal-
lowing, particularly fluid food, CO..
tendency to snap or bite without
p~rovocation, 60 weakness or paral-
ysis of the legs or lower jaw, (8) an
increased flow of saliva, 90 the de-
sire to swallow abnormal substances
such as wood, stones, etc.
AS the first stage of the disease
progresses a dog will scarcely touch
it's favorite food or will refuse to
swallow it even after having it in
the mouth. Later it will reject all
food, but chew other objects within
it's reach and swallow them If pos
sible.
C~auterization of the wound and
the Pasteur treatment are measures
designed to prevent the development
of the disease after being bitten by
a rabid dog, but should be under
taken only under the supervision of
a competent physician.
