This cut illustrates Burnett's NO
CHART method of examining eyes
for glasses.
Dear Public:
When your eyes need attention,
ask yourself this question. What man
within reach of me is best qualified
to examine my eyes?
My inducement to you is this: ! do
NOT ask you to read letters on a
chart across the room and PICK OUT
YOUR OWN GLASSES. l examine
the interior Of your eyes and deter
mine by my own skill what lenses are
required to correct your trouble. This
is the highest degree of skill known to
the optical world and you folks. par
whose eyes are hard to fit,
will find that my work will satisfy.
| will demonstrate without charge.

Holding Up Price of Liberty Bonds

'i""s W hiSe VI L"ei'y ho""S
, Not every one knows the reason
why Liberty Bonds, which recently
sank to below 9S, again took an up
ward turn. 1t seems the British
government, which owes US over four
billion dollars, is paying off its debt
and interest in Liberty Bonds where
ever possible. Whenever it can buy
a bond below par, it is saving lot
of money, and not harming us, be-
cause the demand keeps up the price
in America.

Before leaving, DR.. Sun told inter-

he would be able to gather 10000 men
at Shiuchow, besides leaving 10000
more to guard Canton from powers

would be sent northward gradually,

MOSCOW. September 16. - The

1t is not an uncommon sight now
adays to find more walters in

disappearance Of the profiteers who
were the most regular and liberal
frequenters of the restaurants, and
partly to a fear on the part of those
left behind that they may share a
like fate If they give evidence of
having sufficient money to patronize
the more expensive eating places.

When we come to the vegeta bles
we have at each Thanksgiving din
ner the mashed potatoes, buttered
onions and squash, the chief points
to remember are these:
|, % Clean the vegetables thor
ouglly.

cts on and pare them very thinly.
ca Cook onions until they are alb
solutely tender.
t5) Mash the squash and beat 1t

The Indian pudding served at this
dinner calls for long, slow cooking
of cornmeal in low temperature.
This insures complete cooking of the
starchy grains and makes the corn
meal both digestible and Ralatable.
In contemplating the pies, either
pumpkin or mince. one should de-
eide on the type of paste to be used
and act accordingly. The prepara-
tion of elaborate puff paste Is un-
desirable for such a dinner as this.
An average tender pastry Is not diff

these: First, have all materials
chilled or very cold: second, handle
the paste as you mix 1t with most

Perhaps 10 may be helpful to the
young housekeeper to consider some
Of the principles of food prepara-
count in cooking an old-fashioned
Thanksgiving dinner.
Beginning, as 1t does, with old
fashioned oyster soup, there are GER
tain things to remember in the cook
ing Of oysters. Raw oysters are al
most self-digesting, that is. when
crushed between the teeth. The
saliva acts directly on the flesh of
the oysters and the digestion Is well
begun. Therefore, in all cooking OF
oysters We should take care to cook
them lightly: that Is, in such a way
as not to change their texture ma
terially. One test in preparing oys-
ter soup or stew Is to be careful that
the edges just barely curl.
The principles applying to roasting
as apply to the roasting OF all
meats. We are apt to forget that
technically roasting means cooking
before An open or clear fire. Roast
ing such as we apply to turkey or
beef or lamb Is really baking. One
of the first things to plan for is the
oven temperature. Excellent oven
thermometers are valuable and are
serviceable. Most time tables for
roasting advise 15 minutes to the
pound. the temperature varying with
the size of the roast.
Another point to be considered here
is to see that there is sufficient moiS-

When Horses Had Five Toes

Der Of toes became less and less until
there was only one, as there Is today.
They found one skeleton of an
animal, which Is believed to be the
most ancient horse. that looks very
little like the horse we know today.
That animal, as 1t probably looked
running about the plains. is shown in
the Illustration. It was very small,
probably about the size of q large
doy, had five toes, and had a tail like
a member of the cat family.
AS the ages passed horses grew
larger and began to lose the extra
toes. This was to their advantage.
for they were always very swift
animals. and for running over hard
earth ana for supporting their great
Ave toes. Did you ever notice how
animals are thus suited for the way
in which they live?
The rhinoceros. for instance, is a
very large animal that doesn't have
hoofs, but lives on the borders Of
streams and marshy places. or In the
shady depths OF forests. where the
ground is soft and yielding. SO 1t
doesn't need hard hoofs, ~ the horse
does.
The brain of the horse today is
very much larger than that OF ttS early
ancestors. which had = very small
brain indeed. OF course. life was
quite simple for these ancient horses,
and they didn't need to exercise the
judgment and memory that a horse
needs today.
We know that the Spaniards
brought horses with them when they
conquered this country, ana It 10 be-
Neved that there were no horses here
at all. Now there may have been q

blouse you wore an evening blouse,
and certainly you wouldn't change
from one sort of blouse for another
at eventide.
NOV quite frankly we wear eve
ming blouses, and we make no
apologies, either. The most gor-
geous of these are Of metal lace
usually of gold, for gold has super
seded silver for almost all occasions
this Winter. AS foundation for
your gold lace tunic you will of
course need scant, short little gold
lace slip. and you may be able to
effect quite an economy by making
your gold lace slip do for more than
one tunic.
Another type of tunic that is appro-
pirate for even formal evening par
ties is made of white georgette heav-
lily encrusted with beads-rhinestones
and gold being used together to great
advantage. Such .tunic might be
worn over the gold lace slip or over
shimmering white satin.
The French call the slip worn be-
meath the tunH "fourreau-a
sheath. And this we'll describes the
lines that the slip usually follows.
Even when 1t Is Of finely pleated
chiffon it Is of very close, straight
outline. A charming French COS
tune shows a sheath or slip of finely
pleated chiffon, while the long tuntc
above Is of silk crepe in Chinese cut.
Straight though the slip always seems
to be, the tunic takes on many inter
esting flares. godets and even gath
ers Sometimes the tunic extends
straight and scant from shoulders to
hips, where 1t bursts outward for all
the world like an inverted morning
glory.
One very attractive tunic costume
is composed of short-sleeved long
tunic OF blue crepe de chine with
three protruding folds Of crepe de
chine at the sleeves-one fold Of
mauve. one Of lemon and one OF gray.
At the hem of the tunic are two ex-
rensions-one of mauve. one Of
lemon-and 1t is worn over a crepe
de chine slip. The wearer seems to
have donned four chemise frocks of
graded lengths.
