banana and peanut salad. Arrange

Useful Things For Home

Tasty Salads With Meals
.sMAAA..aa.As

No dinner is complete without a
salad, and good salads are perhaps
the most essential part of a lunch
con, dinner or supper, says Henri
Kegler, formerly of the Hotel Van
derbilt, New York. Salads are diff
cult to prepare unless one knows
exactly what kind is suitable to ac-
company certain foods, and just how
to go about preparing them. Salads
aid the digestion.
A salad should always be served
with roasts and is also desirable
with cold meats, poultry and game.
Indeed, a good hostess knows that
the charm of her home is greatly en-
hanced by the proper serving of pal
atable viands such as tasty salads.

Fruit Salad
Cut up small chunks of bananas,
oranges, apples, one pineapple,
grape fruit, berries in season, and
place in individual glass dishes.
Scatter halls of maraschino cherries

with cider vinegar, and serve cold.
At formal dinners, serve dish on

Homemade Vinegar

Generally speaking, homemade
vinegar is, at its best, low grade,
weak, sour liquid, without the char
acteristic aromatic properties of a
well made vinegar. The idea that
vinegar making is as simple as A B
C is a miscOnceptiOn.
Many hOusekeeper has spoiled a
good salad or jars of pickles with
this so-called homemade stuff.
Let us see what vinegar makers
must know to produce high grade
vinegar: First: how to make good
sweet cider. Second: to get the yeast
most favorable for the alcoholic fer
mentatiOn to work. There are a large
number of yeasts, all of which are
present in the sweet cider. Third:
the Qualification of the fermented
hquir. Fourth: the acetification
(souring) is the final stage of the
process and also cannot be left to
nature alone.
Bacterial life furnishes the medi-
um to oxidize (acetify) the alcoholic
liquid into vinegar. The air enter
ing on this process, however, con-
tains a large number of other bac-
terra than the one desired, and if
the wrong kind is permitted to gain
the overland, it may divert the
proper acetification, resulting in a
poor product, such as mentioned
above.

What Kind Of Dressing to Use

In America we usually use mayon-
naise dressing for everything, but in
England and France they serve
French dressings with fish or fowl
and most vegetables. Caulifower, to-
matoes and beets are best with may
onnaise dressing. In either combina-
tion eide vinegar adds greatly to the
flavor; although no one ingredient
should predominant in taste.

Geneva Session Adiourns Sine
Die Without Granting Seat
All Europe Stirred.

Geneva-After approving Premier
Brands motion to adjourn the cleo
ton Of Germany until the September
meeting, the assembly adjourned sine
die. The vote on postponing the cleo
ton Of Germany came after announce
ment by Afrania Mello Franco, Bra
lillian representative, that the deci-
sion Of his country not to vote for a
permanent council seat for Germany
unless Brazil was given one at the
same time, was irrevocable. Extra
ordinary excitement prevailed In the
Hall Of Reformation as the delegates
assembled, and the galleries were
damned. Sir Austen Chamberlain,
the British foreign secretary, took
the rostrum and said that the an
nouncement which he was about to
make depended upon a statement
made to him by the representative OF
Brazil. Senior Mello Franco there
upon went to the tribune to explain
and informed the assembly that Bra
ziPs demand for a permanent seat in
the council was irrevocable. Then Sir
Austen gave notice that 1t would be
impossible for him to propose the ad-
mission Of Germany into the league
at this time.

DEATH COMES TO
JOHN Coolidge
News Flashed to Special Train
As Son Speeds to Old Home
In Vermont.

Plymouth, Vt.-Colonel John G.
Coolidge, father Of the President, died
at 1914 o'clock Thursday night. The
President, speeding northward on q
special train lost In a hopeless race
with death. Word Of the death OF
Colonel Coolidge was flashed imme-
ditely to the executives offices In
Washington to be relayed to the Pre-
sident's train en- route to Vermont.
The Presidents father, who was with
in two weeks of his eighty-first birth
day, had been sinking gradually since
he suffered a severe heart attack a
week ago. At that time his physician,
DR.. Albert M. Cram of Bridgewater,
said his patient was at the point OF
death. His pulse rate reached 140. A
remarkable physique, coupled with an
iorn will, carried Colonel Coolidge
through to a new rally for life, but he
lost strength day by day.
President Leaves Capital.
The President, kept closely informed
of his fathers condition over a spe-
cial telephone circuit to the White
House, left Washington for his boy
hood home here when informed that
death was at hand for his father. The
sick man was told that his son was
on the way to see him. He nodded
his head slightly, and DR.. Cram said
he believed he understood the mes
sage.
With him when he died, in addition
to the physician and Mrs. Johnson,
the nurse, was Deputy Sheriff Mac
aulay, who has been in attendance as
body guard since last June. When
the colonel arranged his affairs early
last winter, he requested Selectman
AFRO Johnson, who is also sexton Of
the church, to prepare his grave in the
village cemetery, where many mem
bers of the family lie. There, Calvin,
the Presidents son, was inferred in
1924, and there is place reserved for
Calvin's grandfather. Two years ago,
when Colonel Coolidge ordered a mo-
nument for the family plot, he had his
name cut in the store.

Income Tax Receipts Make Gain

st. Paul-Improved business condi-
tions in the northwest have resulted
in an increase of more than half
million dollars in income taxes paid
in Minnesota during the first 16 days
Of March, as compared with taxes
paid during the corresponding period
a year ago, L. M. Willcuts, collector
of internal revenue, st. Paul, says.
This increase, Mr.. Willcuts pointed
out, is in the face of a substantial re-
duction in the number of taxable re-
turns filed with the internal revenue
department this year. The number Of
persons paying income taxes in the
state has been cut almost in half.
