RESERVE METHOD PIE CRUST.
requested Reprint
The amateur who attempts to make
pie crust finds it difficult to follow
the directions concerning the use of
water. Since even a slight excess
Of water causes toughness Of crust
the method described below will be
welcomed by all makers Of pastry.
Less fat is required also by this
method Of mixing. Use proportions
for plain pastry four tablespoons fat
TO one cup flour. No need TO use
more fat.
Mix together the flour, fat and
salt by cutting or working in gently
with finger tips. Reserve one-fourth
Of this mixture and add water 10
the rest to make the usual consistency
Of pie dough. Roll out to about six
inches in diameter. Spread over about
one-third Of the dry mixture reserved
at first, fold it in, roll again and
repeat till dry mixture is used up;
about three times. The fat will be
in flakes and an excess Of water
hardly possible. Highly recommended.

FOXY GRANDPA'S STORIES
The Man Who Invented the Sewing Machine.

crying loudly TO smash the machine
because it would take bread out of
their mouths. And the poor young
inventor fled for his life with his lit
tie machine under his arm.
For some time Howe toured the
country, exhibiting his machine at
country fairs and in store windows.
But he did not get very far with it.
Then he took his machine to Eng
land, and there he met with great dis
couragement. He became so poor that
he had to pawn his machine and re-
turn to America.
Fortunately, he had had the ma
chine patented, but when he returned
he found many people working on
other sewing machines and infring-
ing on his patent.
For many years he worked to get
his patent recognized. Finally he got
enough money together to 90 back to
England for his own machine, which
he had left in a pawnshOp.
"Then followed more years Of heart
breaking struggle, but in the end he
won. He died a rich man, and his
name goes down in history as one
who gave a great boon to the world"
Inventors certainly have a hard
time. don't they, Foxy Grandpa? ]
don't know whether l want to be one
or not" said Bobby, shaking his head.

stopping up the sink?
.. Is it true that narcissus bulbs
are poisonous?
8. Is it possible for campers TO boil
water in the woods without a metal

4. Is lassitude always the first
sign of fatigue?

.. Yes. NarcisSus bulbs are poison
Gus and so are hyacinth bulbs.
3. Yes. If a square of birch bark

NEGOTIATIONS OF A MARRIED
WOMAN BY Helen ROWLAND
Trousers.

There is nothing else in the world
his trousers.
Yet, looking at a pair of trousers,
purely accidentally, it is difficult to
see how he can take them seriously.
Whoever invented trousers had
either a keen sense of humor or Il
misguided urge TO make the world
safe for modesty.
MOdesty is a beautiful thing-but.
after all, the average man could
safely display his calves without be
ing too much of temptation to the
women.
Even golf-kDickers. which are the
most picturesque, becoming and COM
Portable thing a man can wear, have
not entirely undermined woman's
morale.
Apparently, a mans whole life is
centered around his trousers. The
prOudest moment of bis existence is
that in which he puts on his first
long trousers. And next TO that, his
greatest thrill is his first pair OF
white flannel trousers.
Tell a man that the country is 90
ing to the dogs or that he is getting
bald, and be will remain unperturbel
but tell him that his trousers are
slipping, and it is as though the
world were Keeling from under him.
You may rub powder into a mans
coat-lapel or rain tears down his
waist-coat; but beware how you trifle
with the integrity of his white flannel
trousers. A single spot upon them
will blot out all life's brightness for
him.

BY FAY KING

Plastic surgery is : great thing.
Plastic surgeons deserve all the
praise in the world for the wonderful
work they have accomplished in max
ing over faces that have been disfig-
ured
But, as in everything else, quacks
fall into line TO profit by the work
that legitimate plastic surgeons do
and swindle and spoil the faces OF
people who come TO them.
The work Of plastic surgeons does
not interest me much so far as max
ing old women look young is con-
cerned!
/ have yet to see any face-lifting
along these lines that deceived me or
that L thought improved the person
much
You can spot a lifted face as quick
ly as you can dyed hair.
i have seen a face lifted, and j
felt more than sorry for the woman
who came in with a sagging check
and dropping chin when she went out
with her skin pulled so tight up to her
temple and ears that her eyes looked
Chinese, and | thought her face would
rip il she opened her mouth to laugh
or eat
Any one who sews can understand
the method Of face-lifting. The skin
is pulled up and the excess fold clipped
out and sewed up just like aNdart in
dress. The skin has to be pulled
too tight" because it will give in
little time.
The first operation is the best be-
cause the skin can be sewed at the
proper point. Another operation is
necessary, sometimes within six
months and the dart and sewing can
not be done in the same spot
In pulling the skin back tight and
sewing it UP in the hair above the tenn
pie. the eyelids and tear ducts are
often affected.
One woman ! know who had her
face lifted couldn't sleep for weeks.
Another was constantly bothered with
her eyes watering! And these we're
considered a good job, too.
The reason you hear most Of sue
cossful face-lifting is because natural
ly the plastic surgeons do the best
and most careful work on actresses
aud society women who will be a
gteat advertisement for them.
I know a man who had his face
made over years ago and it was
ruined. Had the, operation been a
success it would have been a great
"ad" for the surgeon who did the job,
hut as it was agreed and signed before
band that the patient took all the risk
AMI could do nothing about it in the
he had no recourse.
Face-lifting has not helped screen
actresses. All expression is rost and
they register like a mask!
BObbing ones face is very seri-
Gus matter, and feel safe in saying
that more who have had their faces
lifted regret It than are satisfied.

lie greatest crime that a bride can
commit is to hang her husbands
trousers upside-down across the chair
That is the objectionable indignity
which makes him wonder for the first
time why he ever married her.
Trousers are like typewriters and
automobiles. Some great genius is
always inyenting a new Improve
ment" to make them harder to I'M
derstand. Never, until woman tries
to put a new pocket in her husbands
trousers, does she suspect all their
secret combinations and mysteries.
There are more belts. tabs, bands,
straps, buttons and ingenious devices
on a mans trousers than there are
breakable amendments to the Con-
stitution. Their initial cost is COM
paratively little-but their upkeep is
simply tremendous.
When men wore petticoats. they
had more time to make love and write
poetry. Look at Solomon, VINO
wrote the worlds greatest poem
and had seven hundred women f..
hide behind his skirts. He had no
trousers to absorb and district him.
1t was easy to love Solomon, in all
his glory. But what proves the pow
er and beauty of woman's love is her
ability to love man in Oxford Bags
There is one bright hope, however.
Now that women themselves are TAX
ing up trousers, as a fad, they are
beginning to look positively effemin-
ate. And, the first thing We know.
man will either invent some more
rational garment-or go back to petit
coats.

such letters Of appreciation are glor-
ious-they make our hostess or host
so happy, and they add to the world
that lovely glow that is found all

WE'RE FOR MoulToH

The Spokesman believes that NJ. M.
Moulton should be reelected again
this year as Benton county's repre-
sentative in the legislature. During
the two terms he has served in this
capacity he has, through his honesty
and fearlessness, established state
wide reputation and it is doubtful if
there is in the state today more
influential member of the legislature.
This influence is certainly much great
er than comparative stranger could
be expected to WELD.
Hartley cohorts, plentifully sup
piled with funds, have conducted a vi
cious and abusive campaign against
him during the last few weeks, not by
telling how good his opponent is but
rather in trying to make out a case
against Moulton-in itself confession
of weakness and resorted to in politics
only when the case is desperate. The
American voter, however, is less in.
fiuenced by this kind of campaign
than by appeals to reason and com
mon sense.
Mr.. Moulton has been credit tt
both the county and the state, and de-
serves reelection.

heavy buying for export trade. Ad

er will load full cargo of Washing
ton apples the first week in Octo-
Der, the load to run about 100000
boxes. The following week similar
cargo will be loaded for continental
ports. Refrigerator space is said to
be booked as far ahead as February

have been arranged to accommodate
the expected heavy apple movement.
