French Method of Making Salads
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

| enormous variety of American salads
1t seems odd, indeed, to find the com
parative samenesS of the French
kinds At the same time you find
yourself joining the group of those
who speak so appreciatively of these
, foreign sorts. 1t Is because to our
own marvellous and distinctive va.
rieties we may add the French kind
that am bringing the subject up to-
day. We can just as well have the
tossed salad as any other people, and
| it is this method of making them
that gives the peculiar excellence to
| foreign salads.
Root Vegetables.
The one ingredient that is most
often added to salad green's in France
is beet root. This resembles our Win
ter beet in texture, but has a sweet
ness of sugar beet. 1t is generally
cut into small bits, not into regular
tiny cubes. The other characteristic
ingredient Is celery root, which is cul-
| tivated for salads. hors d'oeuvres and
seasoning: 1t attains a large size, but
has the same texture of our celery
root. Either of these root vegetables
or both are a customary part of
French salads.
How to Toss Salads.
The greens may be lettuce in any
of its many varieties. dandelion. mus
tard and cress, water cress, etc., or
some of the green's that are native
to France. The small leaf green's
are preferred. These are fresh and
well washed. One or more of the
kinds is put in a good-sized salad
bowl, and II anything is to be added
1t is cut up and sprinkled over the
top. A good quantity of the French
dressing is then poured on. A fork
and spoon, usually wooden, are
taken and the under portion of the
salad is deftly lifted up and put on
the top. The process is repeated,
until every part of the salad is
thoroughly dressed. 1t is so lightly
handled that the term tossed is used
to express the action. There are many
Travelled Americans who have their
salads tossed, and any one who has
eaten deftly tossed salad appreciates
its delicacy. Do not stir or mix the
salad, except so lightly that 1t
amounts to tossing.
What Kind to Toss.
Practically all plain salads (served
with French dressing) that are not
so delicate that they would tear may
be tossed. Salads with mayonnaise
and fancy salads that are as beauti-
full TO look at, in their Arrangement.
as they are delicious to eat. should
not be tossed. The French save their
mayonnaise salads for hors d'oeuRres,
chiefly. In these they excel. In max
ing the French dressing for salad, rub
the mixing bowl with bit of garlic
or cut onion before adding the ingre-
dents in the following proportions:
Three tablespoonfuls oil. one Of vine
gar. one-half %teaspoonful salt, one
quarter teaspoonful pepper and a
good sprinkling of paprica-

tonic the night before you shampoo.
I'd suggest you put teaspoonful of
powdered sulphur into a tiny jar and
mix enough olive oil with it to make
a paste, and that you rub some of
this paste thoroughly into the scalp.
You'll have to soap the hair at least
four times when you shampoo and
use hot water to cut the extra oil
and sulphur, but 1t is worth it.
H. Andy.-A girl of II years with
a height Of feet inches should
weigh about 125 pounds.
More or less weight would not be
serious in such a case, for the girl is
developing and may have used up
much of her energy in attaining that
height at such an early age. 1t could
easily mean that there would be no
average and normal weight for such
an unusual case until after there had
been complete development-possib
not for another five years.

Hair Tonics.

|. It's been quite a long time since
I've printed the formula for the
pilocarpine hair tonic. Once upon a
time / thought, I would save all the
letters in praise of this tonic, which
Is my pet formula, but they ran into
thousands and took up more room
than l could spare, so finally burned
them.
This hair tonic has double virtue.
1t can be made up without the pilo-
carpine-in which case it costs less
and is just a good general tonic-or
it can be made up with the pilocar-
pine, in which case it stimulates the
color cells of the hair and prevents
premature grayness. If you are 80
or over I'd advise you to use it with
the pilocarpine. The formula follows:
Pilocarpine hydrochlorate. 2 grains;
precipitated sulphur, 80 grains; car
bon detergent, 80 drops; castor oil. 10
drops: alcohol t95 per cent, 4 ounces;
tincture of cantharides, drachms:
cologne, drachms; rose water, to
make s ounces.
Have your druggist make this
formula up and use it two or three
times a week, unless the hair Is very
bad-in that case use it daily for a
few weeks.
If you have severe dandruff, either
the oily or the dry kind, use sulphur

a sledge hammer to knock out your
exalted ideas of a friend, even when
the evidence is ample to convict
him or her of insincerity and

You are more fitted for outdoor
life than that of a confined or
sedentary character. You have al
ways shown a preference for the
masterpieces of nature and little hk-
ing for the works of man.
You possess great courage-both
physical and moral. Your ideals are
high, and you pursue them with eX-
ceeding tenacity of purpose.
Your character is rather rugged.
In spite of this, however, your emo
tions can be deeply stirred. and your
nature Is both sympathetic and
kindly.
Your home life is. with such at
tributes, ideally happy, as you are
always thinking of the welfare and
well-being of others. even at the ex-
pense of your own.

that this statement represents the

we may expect the Auditor to answer

The Auditor says in his reply the
$4,000 was entered on our books
where it is available to reduce the
debt of the State. AT any time the
treasurer of the State believes this to
be for the financial advantage of the
State he may with the advice and
consent of the Governor and Council
use this amount known as the sinking
fund reserve to purchase outstand-
