Raggedy Andy walked home with the Cookie people.
 He felt very sad.
 So did Mir. and Mrs. Cookie and the Gingerbread man.
 First. the nice. kind SBitznoodle had been captured by Hookie the Goblin. second, little Weekly was up on the Goblin's house top and couldn't get down and now Raggedy Ann was also a prisoner in the Goblin's house.
 No wonder Raggedy Andy and his friends felt sad.
 We must rescue Raggedy Ann and the nice. kind snitznoodic some way" Raggedy Andy said. But how? That is the question:"
 "Iget us see!" the Gingerbread man said. "HooIsie the Goblin says that he uill make Snitznoodle sausage just ps soon as he can borrow 4 sausage grinder. Now. f Mrs. Cookie has a sausage grinder. let Rsggedy Andy take it tc Hookie! Then Raggedy Andy can Nrestle Hookie and rescue our friends"
 That is s very good scheme. Mis- fer Gingerbread man" Raggs5y Andy said.
 "Isut [ have no ssusaEe grinder Mrs. Cookie said in sad doughy voicc. We Cookie people never eat sHythina but cookies ard cream puffs and things like that % we have no gse for ssussge grinder. Tn fact. ] do not tno1 what a saUsaFe grinder looks Iikc'''

 Hand. Shaking,

Physicians and practical observers have come to the conclusion that S5 per cent of contact infection is by means of the hands.
 The physician or nurse is careful to thoroughly sterilizc every article or instrument with which the hands, in treating a patient. come in con tact. Think, then, how great fine real danger is among the general public by hand contact and careless ness. We do not know among those ne meet just who is infected and who is not We do not think any thing about it, as rule. Five per cent or persons are careful, the other 90 per cent arc careless, and arc risk ing health and happiness by promis. euous hand-shaking.
 It is true kissing is more direct means of contact, but it is not go common as the hand-shalse, and is also confined 10 tho exchange of nasal or oral discharges. Outside sources, such as contaminated clothing. han. ding of animal pets, handles Of doors. tools or articles in common usc, make the danger from hand in- lection great.
 Tho general public is slow 10 break away from custom and habit But n gradual training against the common greeting by hnnd-shaking is possible. II is one of tho things given special emphasis in the great program for public health. II will surely reduce inc danger Of disease transfer and inc lection in the long run.
 Persons with colds. carry danger in their hand shake from handkerchief contamination. Tn the case Of infu. cnza. hand-shaking must bo abol- ishcd. Careless and unclean persons

Mother Graham Decided Who should
 Get the Children

The women of our oldest division of feminine life. those who now are in their seventies and upward, possess a fortitude under grief and pain which in proportion to their physical weak ness, puts all the rest of us To the blush. I always dimly have recognized this but 1 never realized it so fully as I did in the minutes that followed the return to consciousness of my frail and aged mother-in-law after her swoon.
 Under Dr. Pcttit's direction, liar riet, Lillian and ] had worked fran ticaily over her. while Katie ana Mrs. Ticer ran our Crrands and Marion kept Junior occupied and happy out of-dnors. Harriet's face was set in carven lines of anguish, and l knew that one query was insistent within her.
 Had the news of Eli2abeth's death been too much for the over-strained heart of her mother Was she to lose both sister and mother in this awful hour?
 But finally my mother-in-law's eye lids fiuttcrcd and opened, and when she had lain in absolute quiet for q few seconds, with her eyes patheti- cally searching our faces, she raised her hand with feeble but impera- tive gesture.
 Doctor she said. patently using no unnecessary word, that she might conserve her labored breath.
 Thinking of the Children
 Right here," the physician an swcred, slipping his arm under her shoulders and raising her ever so slightly. Take this, please"
 But she turned her-lips away from the spoon he held 10 her mouth,
 T nt--those--doube strength she said feebly, but with firmness.
 Yes, ] made them that way" Dr. Petit replied, with prompt men, dacity which did not expect from him,
 She put her lips to the spoon obediently and took the potion he had prepared, then lay back upon her pillow with closed eyes for several minutes, while the physician watched her closely, and Harriet bcckoncd me aside and put her lips close 10 my ear.
 "I musn't leave her" she said. "Could you go 10 those poor chil. dren ?''

 ''IIe is mortally injured Mother" Harriet said ritifully, and he can. not live more than a day or tNo."

EXTERNAL CITY" AT PALACE.

l Barbara La Marr.
 Lionel Barrymore. 1 Bert Lytell. Richard Bennett. Montagu Love. Five names of international re- nown; five real stars of the silver sheet.
 And all five of them are appearing in a single picture, "The Eternal City" which is now playing at the Palace theater, where it opened a four day engagement on Monday.
 Any one of these five names. ap- bearing in the cast of a production, would be sufficient to assure its suc- cess. It required considerable in ducement to assemble them for one picture; to share the stellar honors with others.
 The story was that inducement aided by the fact that it would be directed by George F'itzmaurice and released by First National.
 For years coyetous producers had made vain efforts to obtain the pie ture rights to the story, for its pow erful appeal was widespread, MT. Fitzmaurice was the fortunate bid der, for the author was convinced that he was the best fitted to trans fer the tale to the screen.
 On Thursday for the last three days Of the week. double features will be presented offering Mabel Normand in the grand revival of Mickey" and Lon Chaney in The Shock"

SANDWICHES If tho bread knife be sharp and the butter well creamed there should be no difficulty in making sandwiches. All kinds Of bread can be used for sandwiches, alone or in combination. The bread cuts better If a day old, The purpose for which a sandwich is needed determines the size. X boys school sandwich win reach propor- tions very different from a dainty aft ernoon tea sandwich. A picnic sand wich is something else again and the luncheon sandwich answers another purpose.
 The filings for sandwiches arc much the same for any occasion. The size Of the sandwich chiefly varies.
 X sweet sandwich is as desirable in the lunch box as on the aftcr-tea cart and a piquant meat filling Is al- ways good.
 No matter what the mission Of the sandwich if must be neat and sym metrieal. The crusts should be re- moved and tho butter in such \ creamy state .hat the bread win moi be torn in tho spreading.
 Many filings arc made smooth and creamy with butter. 1T this is the case tho bread need not be butterod, Ordinarily n thin. even coating Of but. tor prevents the bread from absorbing the filling and If sandwiches are 10 be packed for any length of time they will be more satisfactory of buitcrod bread.
 Tea sandwiches can he made in the morning, wrapped in oiled paper and kept fresh in the bread box until needed
 This combination filling is timely after tho Sunday dinner or at any time whom leftover chicken is at hand. If used in the school lunch box the flling should be perhaps thicker than for the tea sandwich. The iill- ing in tea sandwich provides piquan- cy rather than nourishment.
 Combination Filing
 Five tablespoons butter. table. spoons minced cold boiled ham, s tablespoons minced cooked chicken, F teaspoon salt. 1 tablespoon minced parsley. i-4 teaspoon papriks.
 Work butter to a cream with fork. Add remaining ingredients and mix smooth. Spread on thin slices of bread and press firmly together.
 A sandwich is often gsrnishcd in a

most appetizing way. Sandwiches made of nut bread, thinly sliced and spread with butter can be made more attractive to look at if a whole half of nut meat is placed in the center Of each sandwich. Hold the nut in place with il bit of butter.
 Jcll, sandwiches
 Cut thin slices of bread in round shapes with a doughnut cutter. Cut the same number of slices with a round cutter the same size but with out the center of the doughnut cutter. Spread the whole rounds of bread with creamed butter. Fill with jelly and cover with the ring of buttered bread. The jelly should be beaten until it spreads easily and finely chop ped nuts can be added if desired.
 pimento sandwiches
 Pimento sandwiches are shaped in the same way that the jelly sand. wiches are. Spread the circular pieces of bread with pimento butter press the rings of bread in place and put thin slice of olive stuffed with pi. mento in the hollow Of the ring.
 To make pimento butter. work four tablespoons butter to n cream with a wooden spoon. Put two canned pi. mentos through a fine sieva Work into butter, beating until smooth. Season with salt 10 taste.
 Brown md White Bread Sandw iehes
 Cut thin slices Of brown and white bread and shape 10 match. Spread with creamod butter and fli with cream cheese, minced olives and nuh worked smooth with little cream. To two tablespoons cream cheese add one tablespoon each Of olives and nuts.
