The above is the design for the Tu-
berculosis Christmas Seal for 1926.
The seal sale committee of the Bar
bour County Health Association is
now busily engaged mailing out
thousands of these seals to prospec-
tive purchasers. The goal has been
placed at 100000 seals this year. Last
year little over 10000 were disposed
of in the county. Demands upon the
Health Association for tubercular
work in the form of sporting" cases
which can be cured and work of pre-
vention are great and it is believed
that the good people of Barbour
County will continue to contribute
literally to its support.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES
No Waste to Pay For


One of the reasons why Hawaiian
pineapple is Inexpensive is that the
consumer does not have to pay for
waste in its preparation. There is
almost none at all. When one buys
sliced pineapple the part that was
once where the hole is has been used,
also the part peeled off with the skin,
to make crushed pineapple. Shell.
core, eyes, are crushed and pressed
and the resulting juice filtered and
used with chemicals to make GER
tain varieties of vinegar, and of all
things, fuel for types of automobile
engines Even the pulp that remains
is used to fertilize young pine
apple plants.
Pineapple Layer Cake
An Inexpensive but delicious and
festive lookin desert, is Pineapple
Layer Cake. Make it with ordinary
cake layers, or, if you choose, with
sponge cake layers. Only half pint
of cream is necessary since the
crushed pineapple is moist. Spread
the pineapple and a little cream bet
ween the lower layers and save most
Of the cream to spread over the tor
with the pineapple. One can of pine
apple will do for the ordinary size
cake.
Punch for the Party
Tea infusion, experts tell us, makes
the best base for punch. A delicately
favored punch is made from foul
cups of strong tea to which one anc
a half cups of sugar is added while
the tea is still hot enough to dissolve
the sugar. Chill and add to four cups
crushed Hawaiian pineapple (about
two cans) and half cup of lemon
juice. Six cups of water dilute the
punch sufficiently. An added touch is
chopped mint leaves and half cup OF
powdered sugar put in the bottom OF
the punch bowl before pouring in ths
punch. Ice, of course, must go int,
the bowl also. This quantity serves
twenty-five persons.

Use Your Teeth for Chewing.

An apple a day keeps the doctor

Teeth need calcium. This is sup
piled in milk, green leafy vegetables
and fruit. The function of the teeth
is to bite and chew. Chewing stimu-
lates the gums. The flow of saliva
helps digestion; it is antiseptic and
tends to keep the mouth alkaline.
Before the babys birth the first
set of teeth is completely formed
underneath the gums during the
nine month formative period. From
the prospective mothers blood are
formed the baby's muscle. hair, skin
and bone tissue. Nature must have
calcium for the teeth and bones. The
eXpectant mother must supply this
calcium by what she eats. She must
include milk. green leafy vegetables
and fruit IN her diet.
