GRAPEFRUIT OR ORANGE
 STARTS THE DAY RIGHT
BY BERTHA F. SHAPLEIGH Of Columbia University

To drink orange juice, or cat half a grapefruit is almost a habit with many people today The baby must have orange juice. and the tired busi- ness man drinks it at soda fountains All because it helps to cleanse the system, regulates the bowels, contains the needed vitamines, and tastes good
 Grapefruit has not been used by the people of this country for so many years. Twenty-five years ago only occasionally was it found in the mar kets of the east and north, and it was called Shaddock. Tn the West Indies and far south. the name Shaddock was used in the early part of the eighteenth century. Captain Shad- dock brought the fruit to America.
 Grapefruit contains quinine, and is a tonic.
 Both oranges and grapefruit are perhaps best eaten with sugar or salt. as ones taste dictates, but there are also many pleasing ways of serving which offer a variety Let Us con- sider these various uses in menu. For breakfast. cut the fruit in halves and with sharp knife loosen the pulp around the skin. Remove the pulp in center and the seeds.
 Serve with sugar or honey in the center. or plain, leaving the additions to the taste of the eater. Orange juice served very cold in small thin glass is quite sufficient to start the breakfast in the right way.
 For luncheon, serve the fruit, cnt in halves, garnished with cherries Or white grapes. or with q spoonful of loganberry juice in the center. Or remove the sections Of fruit, leaving no skin on them. and place in pretty glasses. Sprinkle with sugar, and if possible fresh mint leaves.
 There is no better salad than one made with whole sections of grape fruit or orange on crisp lettuce or

SEASONS BEST BILL AT PALACE,

SEASONS BEST BIIiL AT fsiinSE'
 An exceptionally fine show is now
 playing the Palace for the first haif of this week, having opened yester- day to capacity houses who screamed at Charlie Chaplin's new comedy,
 "The Pilgrim" It is four reels in length and contains many good laughs. Charlie is first seen as an escaped convict wearing the clothes of a
 person. A small town is awaiting the appearance of their new parson and when Charlie enters he is greeted as the welcome one. From then on there is laugh after laugh, the kind which Charlie alone is capable of pro- ducing. The episode of the plum pudding is one of the funniest bits yet seen in comedies. As an added
 photoplay feature Anita Stewart is offered in "The Question of Honor" a drama of the new west. The Keith bill is wonder and is headed by yalentinos orchestra with
 Mary Lee and Fred Kelly in songs and dances. The orchestra is the best that has been heard here in vaudeville and received large round of applause yesterday for their fine playing Leahy Bros. opening the bill have an excellent comedy gym nastic act that found favor; Hoier and Ayloff present a very fine singing and talking skit that was well re. ceived; and "The Man Off the Ice Wagon" encored twice, with his ex- cellent singing. Arrangements have been made with the program enabling the children to be able to see the Chaplin comedy after school hours. Tie feature offering for the last half of the week brings Connecticut's fa- lorites 'Di Vito's orchestra.

 "A muskrat trap!" she exclaimed, as soon as she had peered at the Gen. orai's foot.
 "Yes." said he. When it snapped on my foot, yesterday, an old muskrat nearby slapped his tail on the water. And then you all hurried away and left mo here to struggle the whole Htk lpHbt

 It is model admirably adapted 10 street or afternoon wear and is fea- tured for spring in both twill and silk crepe. Zig-zag braiding on the sleeves and around the low waistline gives the only touch of ornamentation.
