Mr.. Dawley's return to the company

Mr.. Dawley, and contains plenty of
good humor and many. serious dra-

Mr.. Dawley gave an excellent char

ditions, you have opened the way to
attack.
Or if you have been careless in
your summer eating, loss of rest, bad
ventilation or continued constipation,
you have let down the bars to sum-
mer cold. There is no help for it but
to take precautions and be sensible.
The Cure.
After q summer cold has been ac-
tually caught, and one can usually
be quite sure of that condition when
it occurs, every effort should be made
to get back to normally. DO not
treat a summer cold lightly. 1t is a
real infection and every effort should
be made at once in it's behalf
A hot bath should be taken at once.
This may be aided by hot drink.
The, purpose, of course, is good
sweat for an hour or possibly two. Be
very careful to sponge off after this
sweat and continue your rest in bed.
II your headache, fever and sneez-
ing do not yield to the treatment, con-
tinue your rest, stay in bed and be
happy.
Precautions.
1t Is best to avoid any excessive
eating during this period. 1t is even
wise, to fast for day, taking moth
ing but water.
Be sure to avoid alcohol in any
form or heavy doses of quinine, as
we'll as all other quack remedies.
Do not associate with the rest of

A salad may often serve a twofold
purpose. A fruit salad will take the
place of dessert and a substantial sal
ad will take the place of a heavy meat
course.
These suggestions for summer
menus may help you. If you are
serving substantial salad precede 1t
with cup of hot bouillon. While
the boullon is hot, in and of itself
it does not produce heat in the body.
A creaned vegetable on tost contains
protein as well as the vegetable min
erals and boosts the salad Galleries. A
fruit dessert in a form of pudding to
add bulk and satisfy the appetite is a
happy choice for this sort of meal.
Cheese and Nut Salad.
One-half pound fresh cottage
cheese, cup chopped nut meats, 1
green pepper, ! fresh cucumber, u
cup sweet cream, teaspoon salt, l
teaspoon paprika.
Pare and slice cucumber. Dip pep

nuts and popped. Add cream and salt
to cheese and mix well with a fork.
A spoon would break the cheese and
make the whole pasty, Combine mix
lures and serve on crisp DRY lettuce.
Sprinkle literally with paprika. The
lettuce can ruin this salad if 1t is wet
and not properly prepared.
Spinach and Egg Salad.
One cup cooked spinach, 4 hard
boiled eggs, y cup button mush-
rooms, lettuce, mayonnaise.
Broi mushrooms in butter. Mince
and add liquor and mushrooms TO
spinach. Cut eggs in halves length
wise. Remove yolks and fill whites
with spinach mixture. Arrange on
lettuce cups, rub the yolks through
ricer and sprinkle over stuffed
eggs. Garnish with strips of pi-
mento and serve mayonnaise in a
lettuce leaf at ono side of the plate.
