Street car men of Philadelphia look
with d~isfayor on the ankle length
skirts which, in the case of style ex-
tremists, have replaced their exceed
ingly abbreviated equivalents of yes
ter-year. 2
"Some of these women are imper-
filing their own lives" said a condue-
tor the other day, whereas formerly
they only iinperilled the lives of the
men. 1t is true that the knee-length
skirts made traffic accidents among
the males appalling. They stopped
short in the midst of crowded streets,
their eyes on some object of high
visibility. without regard to the cuss-
ing of truck drivers, the changing of
car gongs, the shrill whistles Of cops,
and the general chaos of traffic.
Now they meet no such temptations.
They proceed alertly on their way, in
safety. But the. women!
Accidents to them are bound to
increase. A crowd tries to get aboard

a street car all at once, as crowds
invariably will, and eight persons in
the rear of II of these neW-fangied
street-cleaning frocks. There is a rip
ping and a tearing, and the worst
has happened, If not more.
Personally l can't see why all the
women can't get as sensible in regard
to their clothes as most of them seem
to be getting. From the standpoint
of the street car conductor there is
nothing like the medium-length skirt.
These same medium-length skirts do
not give the masculine pedestrians
pause in the middle of the car tracks,
and they do allow their wearers to
board and unboard common carriers
without e~ndangering their lives and
those Of their immediate followers.
And il the question Of appearance
and general value to the community
were put up to me, I'd vote fer 'em
%petticoats and all. / like my
ladylike."

pared as with the sucking pig. A very
nice vegetable to go with the chicken
pie is cauliflower. If that is not avail
able canned corn is also good.
For dessert try a Norwegian prune
pudding. Pick over and wash one
half pound of prunes. Soak them i'll
cold water for an hour. Then cook
in q saucepan until soft. Separate the
prunes from the stones. Crack the
stones and take out the meat; add
these meats to the prunes. Then add
one cup of sugar. one tablespoonful
of cinnamon. two cups of boiling water
and cook all together for 10 minutes.
Then take one-third of a cup of corn
starch. add cold water to this until it
is a thin batter. add to the prune mix
ture and cook five minutes. Pour all
into mould and put away in "A cold
place for several hours. This is good

such a hearty meat course a string
bean salad comes in we'll. Housewives
in the country will find the. canned
string beans very good. Serve with
a fruit dressing.
The most orthodox dessert after
plum pudding for Christmas is mince
pie, but the o~ld-fashioned mince pies
are so formidable. Bought mincemeat
canned is good and baked with a nice
homemade crust is as nice a pie as
one need have. There is. however. a
rule for so-called mock minee pie which
makes a pie not SO rich and therefore
better after such a repast. Take four
good-sized soda crackers, roll them
out, add one and one-half ups of su-
gar, one cup molasses, the juice of half
a lemon. one cup of r~aisins. chopped,
one-half cup of dates, chopped. one
half cup of butter. two eggs, we'll beat
en-, and spice to taste. Bake in nam
e1cd ware pie plates in q fairly quick
oven.
Now we have had two quite full and
elaborate Christmas dinners but there
are families who are not large enough
to make such menus very practical
nor are their purses long enough TO

means.
Christmas Dinner for Small Family

Take a pint of them and make an oys-
ter stew. With the help of an enaIn-
eled ware double boiler there will be
no trouble with this. for there will be
no danger of the milk curdling.
Buy an old fowl or hen. These are
cheaper than the roasting fowls and
quite as good in flavor. Cut it up as
for a fricassee. Put on the fire in
an enameled ware saucepan and cook
slowly until tender. Have ready a
rather shallow enamcled ware baking
dish. Put in the chicken and add the
other pint of oysters. Cover with a
plain pastry crust and bake. With this
chicken pie serve cranberry sauce pre-

HOME MADE CANDY
FOR HOLIDAYS

AS sugar gets nearer and nearer the
pre-war level the home candy makers
are more and more resuming their
activities. There is nothing nicer for
a small Christmas remembrance than
a oox of candy and a candy which has
been made by the donor is much more
of a personal gift than any bought
confections however fine they may be.
Each candy maker has her W rules
but some suggestions rs to utensils
may not be amiss. A small size rham-
eled ware preserving kettle is of
course most useful as are enameled
ware skimmers, ladies' and long spoons.
Enameled ware pitchers for handling
and pouring out hot syrup are a great
help. In making nut candies shallow
enameled ware trays IRE practically
indispensable. They are also an as
sistance in making stuffed dates and
fruit sweets in general.

been torn off and salt rubbed into the
raw surface.
The .pharynx'' is the section which
lies between your nose and your voca
cords. When you look into the mirror
the very back part of your throat
which you can see behind the down
hanging "uVula' or soft palate, is the
pharynx.
The pharynx is lined with mucous
membrane, continuous with the nasal
passages above, the mouth IN front and
the %windpipe below. Any acute cold or
catarrhal condition will readily extend
to the p%harynx.
For some reason or other, when one
is rundown. out-of-sorts, constipated,
generally off the feed and debiiitated.
the pharynx often becomes inflamed.
The first day and night there is a
feeling of soreness and discomfort. The
second day the symptoms are worse.
and the second night may be sleepless.
so eve is the pain, with constant
inclination to swallow.
The third day shows improvement,
and by reason Of the lessened pain, as
well as the exhaustion from loss Of
sleep, the third night is usually 4 good
one. The fourth day usually marks the
end of the discomfort.
Many clergymen have this trouble
indeed, it is often called preachers
sore throat Hospital internes. nurses,
~manicurists. BARRIERS, stenographers,
clerks and all others who spend much
time in Initiated atmosphere, are liable
to attack. When you have once had it.
repeated occurrences are to be ex-
pected. For this reason, one learns to
dread the onset of the ailnent.
On the first appearance Of sore
throat yoar bowels should be emptied.
r. the trouble is chronic, particular
attention must be given to the correc-
ton of constipation if it is present.
For the soreness itself. hot water
gargles are useful. Use the water hot
as can be borne, and repeat every hour
or two.
The raw scraped feeling is due to the
excessive acidity of the saliva. Bicar-
Donate of soda, or ordinary baking soda
may be added to the hot water and will
be most grateful. Letting a soda mint
dissolve in % mouth may give comfort
An a~stringent. like fannie acid in
glycerine, may be used to paint the
throat.
Mouth breathing a~ggravates any form
of sore throat. If the nasal passages
are occluded by t~hickening of the nasal
mucous membrane. or if adenoids are
present. medical attention is required.
In such event, you should consult your
family doctor. Furthermore. if YOU are
rundown and have been ont of sorts
for some time. you should see your
good friend. your physician.
Remember always that sore throat
is only a symptom. 1t ma be due
to the pharyngitis we have just de-
scrihed. or it may come from tonsilitis,
from rheumatism of the muscles of the
neck. from any Il of several different
diseases.

The first nurse to come to Montana
Is still living at Fort Benton. She is
Mrs. Catherine Carruthers who when
she was a young widow, then bearing
the name of Babbage, came up the
Missouri river by steamboat in the
early days. Only one other oma was
aboard the boat, which had a particular
" trying voyage-dodging buffaloes and
running IN sand bars. For three days
the boat stuck on a bar below Cow
Island. The buffaloes, and sometimes
deer as well, would cross the stream
directly in the path of the voyagers and
whenever fresh meat was wanted a
hunting party obtained a plentiful sup
ply in a hunt Of an hour or two while
the boat was stopped.
Trained in Washington
Mrs. Carruthers obtained her train
ing in a maternity hospital in Wash
ington. and when she came to Mon
tana, SO few were the physicians that
she frequently was both nurse and
doctor. When she arrived at Benton
she found only three o. four other
white women there. Among them was
Mrs. I. G. Power, wife of the Helena.
capitalist. Out on a ranch OF the
Teton lived Mrs. Teresa Neubert, now
one Of the pioneer residents of Fort
Benton. Visiting at the post at the
time was Mrs. Bradley, wife of the
army officer who was closely identified
with the early history of Montana.
Married Johnny" Carruthers
Within two years Miss Babbage was
married to Wheaton G. Carruthers,
known to old-timers as Johnny Car
ruthers. who had a ranch on Arrow
creek, southeast of Fort Benton.
In 1874 Mrs. C~arruthers' daughter
came up the river to make her home at
Benton and two years later she was

SORE THROAT
coD,risa. 1891. b, Newspaper Features. Inc.

SORE THROAT
Sore throat and colds are the result
of some fault in your way OF living:
If you awaken with the symptoms of
one of these common ailments, ask
yourself these questions:
Have l lost sleep or have [ been
sleeping in a poorly-ventilated bed
room?"
Have | violated the rules of simple
living as regards food or drink
Have | smoked too much, or spent
too much time in a smoke-filled room -
Am / suffering from the lack of
proper intenstinal action:
Have | neglected to walk in the
sunlight and to fill my lungs with an
abundance Of pure air."
The answer to one of these five
questions will suggest the origin of
your sore throat.
There are several different condi-
tons which are described as sore
throat. For instance. ~.'pharyngitis' is
the doctors name for one such all
ment. In this there is a peculiar raw
and scraped feeling in the throat. 1t
