DO You Own A Plank?
A plank saves time, and more
than that, 1t saves labor and dishes
as well. There are many possibili-
ties in Sunday dinners prepared
on a plank. The sample dinner
which we selected to prepare on
the plank had all the tastiness and
flavor that one would desire, and
the whole dinner only required
forty-five minutes to prepare.
In the preparation Of this dinner,
wipe the plank carefully with a

she was capable OF doing, she re-

a friend to whom the girl had related

Tobacco Seed Smaller
Than That of Mustard

The cultivation of the tobacco used
in the making of cigarettes Is a most
interesting process. even to those who
may dlsapprove of the habit Of smok-
Ing the completed product. The to-
bacco seed is so tiny that a single
tablespoonful will produce plants
enough to cover ten acres Certain
growers whose crops are always Of
the highest excellence will not sell
single seed at any price Every crop
Is kept In the warehouse from three
to five years for the purpose Of mel
lowing" or "sweating"-which occurs
twice yearly-before the leaves are
subject to "stemming." Sand and dust
that have remained are shaken out by
sleeves, with the result that the tobacco
is 20 to 80 per cent lighter because OF
the absence of the midrib and sand.
Nimble-fingered girls can make $500
cigarettes day, but machines can
turn out 400 finished cigarettes min
ute, or 10000 in an ordinary work
Ing day.
