Chicken Brunswick Stew.

This recipe has been used by gen
erations Of Virginians, but it is just
as good elsewhere. Prepare a large
chicken or two small ones as for fry
ing. In shallow pot-iron, if you
have it, or granite is next best, and
it should be wide and shallow, place
a layer of finely cut salt pork Over
this mince one small onion. Over the
onion place a layer of diced white
potatoes, then a layer of tender green
corn cut from the cob, or good canned
corn will serve, layer of lima beans
and layer of peeled sliced tomatoes
Then comes the chicken, each piece
wiped dry and rolled in flour. When
this is all arranged in the pot begin
the layers as before, until all the
chicken is used. Pour over all two
quarts of boiling water. Cover the
pot closely and let the contents bare
Remove the cover and season the
stew with salt, pepper, a tablespoon
full of sugar and a tablespoonful of
tomato CatSup. Cover the pot and
again cook for one hour. This stew
should be cooked overdone rather
than underdone. Just before serving
rub three tabfespoonfulS of butter
with two tablespoonfuls of flour. add
this thickening to the stew and cook
gently for few minutes longer. Dish
the stew into soup plates. being sure
to give each person "a piece of the
chicken, some Of the gravy and vege-
tables Serve with small hot biscuits.

The Home Shampoo.

Do you know how to wash your
hair at home? For if you simply
duck your head into a basin of hot
water and rub it around with a cake
of soap and then rinse it off until
you get bored with the job and decide
it's clean (which is what happens at
most home shampooS). you are doing
your hair a great injustice.
Remember that when you wash
your head. sou are trying to cleanse
the scalp, and about 100000 hairs
that being the number to an average
head of hair, scientists tell US. And
each hair is necessarily oily-indeed.
it's core is all oil. and the pores of the
scalp have eXuded oil. And all this,
hair and skin, must he freed of dirt,
freed of q good deal of oil, and yet
left not too dry.
The secret is in using quantities Of
soap, or else rubbing an egg on the
scalp and letting it dry on. The first
Soaping loosens some of the grease
(hair has an affinity for oily things),
the second soaping will take off most
of the dirt and the first soaping,
which sticks to the hair, and a third
soaping will really cleanse hair and
scalp. But the soap must be good,
and it must be rinsed off before more
soap is used. After that, rinsing will
be easy and the hair will dry smooth

sands and thousands of peoples in
China, Bulgaria, Rumania and AlSace,
live in caves in the dust. For loess
is a wind blown dust that in the
course of the ages has piled up
in certain parts of the world
and has become compacted into firm,
almost rock like mass. 1t can be cut
and tunneled in almost any fashion

1. The trees most commonly used
for windbreaks in this country are
poplars, because they grow fast ana
high.
.. Windbreaks perform real serv-
ice in protecting orchards ana houses
from severe weather.
8. Forests are sometimes thought
to bring rain. because most forest
regions are rainy; the truth is that
because the climate is rainy 1t sup
ports q forest, not vice versa.
4. Floods are uncommon in forest
regions because the trees use up
much of the water that falls to the
ground and store it in a reservoir;
also the humus in forest soil sponges
up immense amounts of rainfall.
5. DraughtS are uncommon in tenn
perate forest regions because forest
humus is a reservoir that insures a
somewhat steady water supply.
6. Many old folks thing that there
was more snow in the oldfashioned
Winter. However, the records of the
Weather Bureau do not support their
ideas, and it seems likely that people,
remembering the impressions of their
childhoods, eXaggerate everything.
from the wonderful things their
fathers could do, to the size of the
snow drifts; also people who have
moved from the country to the city,
where snow is soon cleaned away, get
the impression of a diminishing snow
fall.

What Tomorrow Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are
quite favorable. and promise to en-
gender a spirit Of energy and desire
to succeed. In the evening they be-
come overcast and imprOpitious. Any
new undertaking that has received
it's need of deliberative thought can
be prof1tably launched tomorrow, as
the astrological conditions foretell
success. Financial enterprises will
be especially benefited, although all
work typical of constructive effort
will prove to be productive of good
results. It is also an auspiciouS oc-
casion for travel. either by land or
by sea. In the evening it will be ad-
visible to seek congenial compan-
ship, as the influences will cause ex-
cessive introspection, which usually
promotes self dissatisfaction.
Children born tomorrow will in in
fancy experience many and varied all
ments. Much of the danger caused
thereby can be averted by careful
alimentation. but it will be necessary
to have recourse on more than one
occasion to skillful treatment. The
signs denote that they WILL once past
this period, attain normal conditions
and achieve a robust adulthOod. In
disposition they will be, in their early
years, querulous and impatient, but
as their physical condition improves
their natures will also improve. They
will be ambitious, but not very care
full of those who stand in their way
They will always be candid and sin
cere and especially loyal to their
kith and kin.
If tomorrow is your birthday, you
are very competent. as you possess
both mechanical and executive abil-
ity. You are also energetic and never
enter into any project half heartedly
You always put forth your best eff
| forts-be it in play or in work. You
! are not gifted with any great de-
gree of intellectually, but have a
good measure of sound common sense.
| You are at all times practical, and
| never have been known to be -
| dreamer of dreams; everything you
| tackle is judged by positive, and
never by probable, results. AS your
sincerity is always unquestioned, you
| enjoy the respect of all those who
| know you and many appeal to you in
order to help Them straighten out
their own difficulties. You, on the
other hand, are sef-reliant. and think
out your own problems for and by
yourself If you are mated with one
i born in August or November, and
especially If you marry young, your
| home life should be ideally happy.
Well known persons born on that
| date are: Nathan Appleton, merchant;
George II. Boxer, author-poet and
| diplomat; George Westinghouse
manufacturer; A. J. Beveridge, Sen
ator; Jenny Lind, opera singer.

Fashions That Have Classic Aspect

or silver cord with heavy tassels are
suggestive Of classic coStumery.
However. there is something very
un-Greek about even the most classic
of modern adaptations. Greece knew
no such materials as those we use
today. The sketch shows a present
day rendering Of the Greek costume
but it is made of white velvet-a ma
terfal which was undreamed of in
classic times.
One might make an interesting
study of so-called Greek revivals In
dress. At least once every genera
ton, It would seem, there is some
thing of Greek revival. In the
middle of the last century when
women wore voluminous petticoats
and waspish waists Greek effects were
spoken Of Earlier in the century. in
the days of the Directoire, classic in
fluence was strongly at work. This
Is because there is something univer-
sal in the appeal Of Greek costume.
and every age sees something in it
that 1t wants to make its own.
