PROVED HUNGER BEST SAUCE
How English King Restored Appetite
to High Liver, and Incidentally
Collected a Fee.

King Henry VIII liked to stroll about
In disguise, and on one of these wan
dering excursions came to the abbey
OF Reading. where he declared himself
a member of the kings guard, and
asked for food. He was served with
the best the monks had, and among
the dishes was great roast of beef
which the royal visitor attacked with
gusto and ate until the abbot blinked
in wonder.
I'D give a hundred pounds" he
cried, could 1 eat like that instead
of nibbling at chicken wing. My
stomach is squeasie."
The king departed without identi-
flying himself to the monks, and the
very next day the abbot was taken
to the Tower and locked in cell with
naught but bit of bread and water.
Several days passed. and then the
guards appeared with the informa-
ton that the abbot was to be freed,
and he was conducted to a room where
a roast beef was sitting on table.
He was almost starved from his long
dieting and he swallowed the last bit
of the smoking roast. Out jumped
Henry from behind curtain. "Ah
ha," cried the king, I've cured you,
and now down with my hundred
pounds or back you go to the Tower"
The money was paid and the abbot
departed rejoicing.

FREsHENING VELVET AT HOME
BY sTEAAuNG ON WRONG SIDE

Good velvets cost so much nowadays
that it often pays to spend time in
fresdlening them.
Most velvcts may be freshened Ry
steaming from the wrong side, say spe-
cialists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. One way is to
draw the velvet through the steam from
a teakettle. Care must be taken that
the teakettle contains only little
water, or the water may spatter out
and spot the velvet. AS a special pre-
zion several thicknesses of cheese
} = III may be tied over the spout. A
me of heavy paper placed around the
spout will direct the steam and make
III possible to hold the velvet farther
from the heat.
Another way to steam velvet IS to
place several thicknesses of damp
\ Cloth over hot iron and pass the
Sback of the velvet quickly over the
cloth. Velvet SO creased that it cannot
be freshened by steaming may be
'panned" by steaming and then iron
ing it in one direction.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
JOB"

TINE connection between Job,
Il the Biblical persOnif1ca-
ton of patience. and the word
lob" commonly applied to
piece of work, is cleverly worked
out by Southey in his book
1.-THE Doctor"
"A job in the working or OPP
erative sense Is evidently some
thing which 1t requires patience
to perform. In the physical or
moral sense, as when. for ex-
ample, In the language of the
vulgar, a personal hurt or mis-
fortune Ia called bad job 1t
is something which requires pa
tience on the part Of the public
to endure-and In all these
senses the word may be traced
to Job, who Is the proverbial ex-
emplar of this virtue"
Sheridan, whose definitions
are always as amusing as they
are direct. states that when
ever any emolument, profit, sal
airy or honor Is conferred on any
person not deserving 1t, that Is
a Job" From which 1t would
appear that 1t Is not the job
holder that emulates the pa
thence of Job, but the public.

The Rummage Sale 10 q Worthy
Institutions

Did you ever attend one? Here on
a table is old Browns silk hat that
ne wore to church many years, and
now that he's gone 1t has been sent
by his family to the rummage sale to
be disposed of for the benefit Of the
church.
And there on the counter Is an
old china pug dog that used to guard
the mantelpiece In somebody's house.
And on rack hangs the Prince Al
bert coat that some fellow wore when
he was married and which his wife
kept as a treasured thing through the
gears; now she has given it away be-
cause the sentiment attached to 1t
finally IL dead like last years leaf.
They are handy Institutions, these
rummage sales, enabling one. as they
do. to give away for good purposes
what he no longer needs. or wants or
cares for. He holds on to such things
long time and then one day he gets
tired of seeing them around and away
they go to the rumamge sale, the sec
Ond-hand store and the rag shop.
But the rummage Of minds and char
acters most people hold on to and cher
ish forever. observes the Haverhill
(Mass.) Gazette. To their dying day
they keep old and worn-Out prejudices
and fight hard for them. They keep
fast to habits, knowing they are bad
but lacking the will or the courage Il
throw them of.
The next time you gather together
your old clothes for the rummage sale
and have packed them all In one bun
die, suppose you say to yourself !:
Lets see. what have left outf What
passions, prejudIces and habits are lit
tering up my mind and character
You will not be able to get rid Of
this rummage as easily as you can dis
pose of your old clothes, but once hav
Ing taken stock Of 1t you will know
yourself better. The first step to self
Improvement Is to become acquainted

How poin..ttias Are Forced.

To get poinsettias ready for the mar
ket by Christmas is problem that
has worried florists ever since the
bright red fowerlike leaves Of this
beautiful plant took their place as a
favorite holiday decoration.
The problem has been reduced to a
practical solution through the work Of
DR.. w. w. Garner. tobacco specialist
and ii. II. Allard. plant Psychologist
OF the United States Department Of
Agriculture. who discovered the posi-
billy Of advancing or retarding the
growth OF plants by controlling the
period Of light each day. Where the
light period Is shortened the plants
reach maturity much sooner than
where they are given the natural
length Of day. In the greenhouses on
the departments experimental farm at
Arlington. Va. 1t has been found pos
sible to bring poinsettias into full form
" early as August BY shortening the
daily exposure to light.

FOR THE NEGLCEE
Washing Satin, Flannel de Sole
or velours Are Good.
Garment Offers Greater Possibilities
to Women for the RxprsssisN :
Of Individual ideas.


The province of the negligee, nowa-
days. observes fashion writer In the
Christian Science Monitor, may be
anything from dressing gown worn
in the bedroom, or a breakfast gown
slipped into until we are able to gain
some idea as to what the weather Is
going to be for the day. and 80 cloths
ourselves accordingly, to an informal
dinner gown worn for the coy din
lions 1t offers great possibilities to the
woman Of taste for 1t gives greater op-
pOrtunities perhaps than do other gar
ments for the expression Of individual
ideas.
For the morning wrapper washing
satin or flannel de sole is a good ma
terial, and some interesting color
schemes might be worked out by
lining of the same material In another
color with long turned over rolled
collar fastening to one side below the
waistline. and also turned-back cuffs.
Some very attractive negligees are
made of velours cloth In magyar fash
ion, with just hole at the neck to
get into, and draped at the sides;
velours cloth. with its peachlike bloom,
Is an excellent material for all draped
effects, and it may be had In very de-
lightful colors; II is also very warm
for chilly evenings. A very dainty tea
gown seen recently was fashioned Of
cream velours cloth edged with brown
fur at the neck and sleeves, heavily
embroidered with pale rose silk, and
a pale pink MORE ribbon run through
two slots at the waist.
Another gown of an entirely differ
ent type, and which is more In the ma
ture Of dinner gown than a negligee
proper, Is the lace underdress which
is worn with a silk or velvet coat.
These dresses are very dainty and at
tractive and can be carried out in
many different ways. The underdress
which is In itself complete dress and
can Of course be worn without the
coat If desired, may be made entirely
Of piece lace. or 1t may be made of
lace flounces or of spotted or plain
net with bands Of lace inserted in DIFF
ferent patterns.

rR4 ArMENT FOR 11MsERNEcK

Tue condition known as limberneck
in chickens is in reality not a disease,
-. but a symptom Of several diseases
which are characterized by paralysis
/ of the muscles OF the neck making it
impossible for the bird to raise its
heat from the ground. This condition.
,the bureau of animal industry of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture says, is due to the absorpti,n Of
rpoisons from the intestines, which act
upon the nervous system and cause
paralysis.
Limberneck is generally associated
with indigestion or the eating of molly
| = grain or putrid meat or with intestinal
Wins. The best treatment is to give
full dose of purgative medicine-that
Sis SO or 20 grains Of EPSON salts OF
three or four teaspoons of castor oil
for a grown fowl. Often the birds will
be cured within "a hours. In case thoy
are not better within three or four
days it is not advisable to keep them
