Present Styles in Sport Clothes

American climate lends itself to such
costumery between the first of Octo.

Carrots and Compilations.

Somebody should give m.re praise
to the humble carrot. It's a useful
and not always appreciated member
of tho vegetable family. It's not only
valuable as an ingredient of Irish
stew. it's good, cooked or raw. as an
aid in identifying the complexion.
Carrots are supposed to make blood.
They are rich in many blood purify
ing minerals. 1t may take a BIT of
practice to learn to like them raw, but
If you try scraplng them and then
chopping them into very small pieces
SO they are easy to chew you will
find they have a certa.n very pleasing
crisp sweetness. They are very good
for the teeth eaten raw. because they
clean the surface of the teeth and
slim ulate the gums.
However, il you do not like them
raw. cook them in as little wa.e- as
possible. chopping them very fine.
and save the water to use in soup
afterward. since much of the valuable
part of the carrot is cooked out of it.
II you are reducing you must eat
your carrots plain; but if you are try
ing to gain flesh. as is more likely TO
be the case with those seeking u
beautiful complexion. you can make
