Cumberland rivers, is delightful
spot in which to motor, because DAYS
are apt to be filled with unusual ex-
periences.
As we drove easily along through
that section u couple of summers ago,
one of our party noticed a drove OF
hogs in field. They were acting
strangely. First they would rush
across the field TO the foot of a tree
and all look expectantly, up into the
branches. Then they would suddenly
turn tail and dash just as madly TO
! another tree, where the performance
would be repeated.
We came TO n gate, over which an
old man was idly hanging, resting
upon his spread elbows. OF course we
had 10 stop and ask him about the Pc
culiar behavior of the hogs.

why not make one to invest certain
amount of your income in San Antonio real
estate?
There is no better investment anywhere
:. whether you invest in vacant lot in the
suburbs, piece of business property or
home in some residential section any OF
them will prove good investment and
one that will grow with San Antonio.
San Antonio, as we all know, is the largest
city in all Texas, and its real estate naturally
is one of the best investments when 1926
comes to close and you are making reso-
lutions for 1927 wouldn't it be wonderful
to say during 1926, invested $4,000
in San Antonio real estate and today it is
worth $4,000? And investments like this,
are numerous in San Antonio. Ask any bus

Skeleton in Bathroom.

Is there a skeleton in your family
closet? There is if YOU possess a
sponge. because sponges are the skele-
tons of sea animals. The sponge takes
about three years to grow into a us
able size, and it resides in water from
3 feet to 100 feet deep.
The sponges most of US use come
from the Gulf of Mexico. the coast
Of Cnba. the West Indies. Florida or
the Mediterranean Sea. They gro"
on the sea bottom. below warm
waters.
The common grass and yellow
sponges which are close teXtured
and brittle, come from cuba and the
West Indies. They have been
bleached for bathing and toilet pur
poses. The so-called sheep wool
Sponges are the strongest and most
durable. They hold two or three
times their weight in water and are
used for heavy work, such as mop
ping floors and washing automobiles.
Every shopper should learn to
Judge spOnges by their weight. The
best sponges are light in weight, soft
in body and haven't too many large
pores The fiber should be fairly
tough. and the best way to test it
is to tear off a small piece. A sponge
whose depth is about equal to its
width is worth more than one that's

that one is well. for without health
happiness cannot be fully enjoyed. 1t
means a comfortable amount of

these two matters. of serving foods

Luck in Numbers
And Other Things
Something on Clothes.
BY NEYSA McMEIN.

I always think that the beginning
of New York season is interesting
because SO many women have re-
turned from Summering in Paris, and
everywhere dresses of almost every
known style and color are on dis
play. After the season has been on
a while one particular style becomes
fashionable and another one is dis
carded. The dress with the full skirt
is left hanging in the closet. while
the short one with the crystal beads
is worn until it is threadbare, and
so a style is created and settles down
to "a long run which takes it right
across the country and back.
Actresses are, Of course, the har-
bingers of fashion, for it is really
part of their job to anticipate and
introduce the new style in dress. Few
people realize the time and thought
expended by these ladies in order
to appear in as lovely clothes as pos
Sible. The actress, unlike her sister
IN the movies, who can buy a crimson
dress which will photograph black
or a blue dress that comes out white,
must also pay good deal of atten-
ton to the color of her working cos
tunes because sometimes white, for
an entire season.
1t is terribly hard to predict just
which styles will become fashionable.
At a small dinner party the other
evening l sat talking TO Anna Q.
Nilsson, who was in q charming
tight little pink -and-silver dress, and
Madge Kennedy, who had on
white velvet dress with a full skirt.
The amusing feature of Miss Ken
nedy's gown was that the cameo
brooch, instead of appearing at the
throat, where by all tradition it be-
longs, had moved down and was hold
ing her sash at the back. Here were

1t is selfish for a reader to ask for
space for problem that is of no
interest to any one but herself-and
all questions as to confinement dates

not. and | feel sure we shall all be

Lime Water.
Lime water is used for one purpose
only and that is as an anti-acid agent
Cows milk is much more acid than
fnOlner s mix, ana Tor this reason it
is sometimes necessary to add lime
water in order that the milk may
not cause too acid a reaction during
digestion.
Some mothers believe that lime
water taken into the child's system
will help him in acquiring strong
bones and teeth. The lime found in
lime water is not utilized in the sys-
tenn that way. Only the lime found
in green vegetables, whole grain
cereals and milk has the power 10
be extracted by the system and stored
in the body. Large amounts of lime
water merely serve to check the
process of digestion. When food
goes into the stomach it is attacked
by the digestive juices, which are
highly acid. If we use a large guam
tity of anti-acid the stomach is COM
PEELED to manufacture still more acid
before the digestive process can be
completed. So lime water. unless ad-
vised by a doctor for some special
reason, is not a good thing to add to
the childs milk formula.

OYSTERS q la Florida.

On the west coast of Florida, where
they get the magnificent Sarasota
oysters direct from the water. the PEG
pie have learned to vary the usual
stew, fry or raw in a score Of ways.
one good way is as follows: Take i
loaf of bread. either round homemade
or vienna. brown it well. then scoop
out the crumbs. leaving the thick
crust. Fill the cavity with fresh oyS-
ters, drained sailed. peppered with
both white and cayenne, and lightly
touched with tomato CatSiip. Cover
the cavity with the slice removed,
sprinkle the closed loaf with oyster
liquor. place in the oven and baKy
for - minutes. Blasting o. often as
necessary with oyster water. This i
good enough TO serve straight but

sauce.
