Seal at once. (These are very crips and delicious whSa first opened but they grow softer after being opened a. little while, so for this req son it is best to put them up in pint size jars or even in ha1f-pdnt size, so that they will be used quickly after pickle in the jar, especially If care is . taken to have the red pepper pieces evenly distributed.
 To Put Up One Quart Dill Pickles at Time: Fill a glass par with pickles the size of a finger and be- tween them SDrlnkle a rev Q1ll seeds.

Beauty Chats
END OF THE SUMMER
By EDNA KENT FORBES.

We are getting along toward the days now when people are coming back from vacations and appearing at city desks and behind counters with peeling noses and a deep scarlet V which just doesn't quite match the line made by the opening of the shirt waist. It is very pleasant to see so much ssunburn because it is reminis- cent of good times and rest and fresh air. But it isn't quite so pleasant for the poor girl who finds that sunburn and her new autumn frockS do not go together.
 The 5sunburned Summer girl should z treat her skin with mild, bleach which: will not dry it. Many bleaches are diving, but the following, which I consider the best, is not.
 Cucumber Face Bleach.
 Oil of sweet almonds. 4 ounces
 Fresh cucumber juice 13 ounces
 White castillo soap
 r,2 epowdereg .:o;n ;; A ounce ounce
 The cucumber juice is made by l taking fresh cucumbers. slicing them l thin, cooking them slowly in a very little water, and then straining. Shake ! this with the soap in a large jar, then i add the oil and the benzoin and stir and beat until the liquid is creamy. Keep this in tightly corked bottles in the dark and shake up before using.
 Rub this into the skin and let it dry. It is best used at night before i going to bed, but can also be used any time during the day after you have washed the face with warm water and soap.
 If you wish this to be rather more of n astringent use a whole drachm of the Tincture of Benzoin instead of two-thirds.
 Mrs. H. B.:-You are overtaxing your digestion with so much sugar and that accounts for your losing clear your system and begin to eat and drink food that nourishes and will be more easily aSsimilated, such milk or olive oil-the latter being taken with the same quantity of grape juice.
 A Frlend:-It is always best to cut the hair after a severe spell of sick ness, especially one in which there has been much fever. Tonic treat ment should be resorted to, whether you cut it or not and you should massage the* scalp every day. Bleach the hair on arms with, Peroxide of Hydrogen, just as it comes prepared.
 Hopefu1:-You can reduce the size of the pores by using astringent . regularly. Follow the usual cleans ing of the face by an ice rub. Con : suit your doctor about your nose as you should not take any chance of bruising it through strenuous massag- ing. There may be something left from the operation, which is causing this swelling. It is unfair to the doc .gtor not to allow him to complete his work.
 H. I. M.:-Grape fruit is some times preferred to oranges, as a fruit to assist in elimination. Some people find the acid of grape fruit too sharp for the stomach and oranges are best for them.

CAME WITH THE GLACIERS
Little CinquefoiI Made First Visit to America Hundreds of Thousands
 of Years Ago.

Near the very tip of Mount Beacon on the Hudson highlands. there grows a small white flower known to bot anists as "POlentilla Tridentata," or three-toothed cinquefOil. Its history is as long as it's name, and goes back hundreds of thousands of years. In that remote period of the world the glaciers came creeping down from the north, .burying under snow and ice all the country north of Long Island and central New Jersey. The cin- QuefOil came with it, for the cinquefoil is hardy little chap, and loves the bitter weather as much as the fanil- far snow blossoms.
 When the glacier took up the great retreat a few flowers and a few birCs and beasts were left stranded in climate that slowly but surely warmed until the summers were almost trOpi cal in their heat, and. not being de- signed for such torrid days, the spe- cieS slowly died out, first the flowers, then the beasts and lastly the birds, until now there are many varieties that have been destroyed. The cinque- foil is one of the few that remained true to type, and is now found in 0ien- ty near the Arctic circle. In appear ance it resembles somewhat the wild strawberry plant both in blossom and leaf. although the fruit Is not edible, being small, dry and bitter.

 "They were rubbed and dried and comforted. They were petted and loved.
 "NVe thought we had lost you,' said the farmers wife. oh, how glad we were when we found you and your dear baby calf. And how we rejoiced when we heard your voice.

SEWERS, THE CALF.

"Shivers," said Daddy, "is a calf He was so named because he was only ten minutes old when he got lost and ing so terribly.
 Tt had been very stormy and very dark, and the mother had lost her way and of course her baby had lost his way too, because she had kept him with her at any rate.
 ''To lose your way is dreadful when you're with your mother, but when you're alone it is even worse.
 "So Shivers' mother wandered about trying to find her home again and Shivers was with her.
 "Shivers was only minute old when the darkness and the storm be- came so bad to his mothers eyes. She had been so excited though over the arrival of the little calf who had come into the world to make her so happy that she hadn't been noticing the weather and the terrific storm. She was a little distance away from home when Shivers had arrived and had said in his dear calf voice, Mother, I've come to be with you
 "How his mother had smiled on him, such motherlT smile.
 My darling, l am glad she said. and turned her great COW eyes upon him.
 And in a few moments she noticed how bad the storm had become and how dark 1t was.
 And when Shivers was only ten minutes old he and his mother were quite, quite lost.
 Might came on and shivering more and more Shivers stayed near his mother.
 "How worried she was, how she tried to comfort him and keep him warm.
 "'My little baby she said, do not leave me. Do not leave your mother And a tear or two fell from her great eyes.

 "No.'
 "Why?"
 Because it would seem like arguing trying to prove you are innocent. And you don't need to prove anything to me. You understand? You don't need to prove anything to me-"
