 tue system
 of poiso',s

Two of the great enemies to youth and vitality are delayed elimination and intestinal poisons. To keep your self free from both these common diffi- culties will help you to stay young. With the use of Nujol you can do it too. For Nujol has peculiar affinity for body poisons. Absorbs them and carries them of, because Nujol can't be absorbed by the body. Nujol also softens the waste matter and brings about normal evacuation. It is harm- less: contains no drugs or medicine. Perfected by the Chemical Products Division of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey.
 You can take NujoI with perfect safety under any conditions. It won't cause gas or gripping pains, or affect the stom. ach or kidneys. Make sure you get tho genuine. Look for the Nujol bottle with the label on the back that you can read right through the bottle. Don't delay, get Nujol today.

MORE ABOUT SIDEWALKS

One of the worst sidcwalks in the city is found close to the down. town scCtion-on Chestnut street, be- tween Elm and Main. The bard stretch is short, but what there is Of it makes one wonder how the board of.public works and the city engineer allow it.
 The work of putting down side walks on Corhin avenue has been completed and the present thorough fare is considerably wider than the road" which existed along the stretch until about two years ago. This is the sort Of progress all citi- zens appreciate.
 One more word about sidewalks may not be amiss. There was time in the history Of the city when about il" last thing thought Of in the con '.' r''t' 't 'i 'l'N Stbh lN iSIDll "dS the sidewalk, Nowadays it is the first. They go down before there are more than q few houses to dot the | landscape. If the real estaters thus thoroughly realize the importance Of sidewalks one would think that the walks in the older sections Of the city would be considered at least as important. This, ot coursc includcs the horrible example along the ap- breaches to Black Rock bridge, which have often been referred to officially as needing proyemcn' but never get it.

WHEN THE SEISIOGRAPHS
 SPEAK OF EARTHOJ-AkES

The world buzzed In more ways than one yesterday. Gentlemen with grave faces, huddled around seismo- graphs In widely separated parts Of the country, spoke and the nation listened.
 Instead Of making 1t. customary thin lines-as it does constantly weeks on end--the seismographs had recorded a wobble, the lines smuds- ed.' The disturbance was so great that some Of the Instruments broke.
 Of the many marvellous instru- ments perfected by man, the seismo- graph stands unique. In uncanny and magic sensitiveness 1t Is 10 the busi- ness of this earth what the spectro- scope is to the planets and the stars. The world has lost some of it's superstition since the first earth quake was recorded in the annals of history. This, of course, was the chasm which opened in the earth near Bubastis, Lower Egypt, which IS mentioned In Holy Writ. From then on many such reminders of terrestial insecurity have been chronicled. and as a rule they left a profound impression upon human minds. But frequently. in spite of superstitious fears, the disasters stimulated their courage. In Japan, | where earthquakes have occurred i more frequently than elsewhere, re- peated proclamations have been | isued 10 regard them as censures from heaven.
 l The earthquake zone on the west ern hemisphere extends along the entire shore of the Pacific, from the Aleutian islands to the tip Of South America. It is along this earthquake belt that scientists first look " hen the seismographs, whether in Bos- ton. New York or Cleveland, regis ter violent tremblings. Alaska, Cali. fornia, Mexico and Central America | Panama, Colombia. Ecuador and Valparaiso have contributed serious Quakes since the beginning of the century: and there ts no reason tc hope the quakes will ever end along this extensive fault" in the earth's crust. or course, an earthquake ot vio. lence may occur in the ocean as wei as on land. Then only huge waves result. Perhaps the most famous ot chronicled disturbances of this ma. ture accompanied the earthquak, at Simoda. Japan. in 1854, whicl started a wave across the Pacifi, which was registered at the fidcgagc: Of San Francisco. The wave was c1t miles in length and travelcd C. mile per minute. The earthquake wave produced off the coast of Peru il 1868 and 1877 reached Japan an, New Zealand at about the sam, speed.
 Whenever a tremendous a.isni disturbance. such as that Of yester day, occurs the world waits anxious ly for definite news as to where th
 disaster occurred. Sometimes II, definite 'word' is received from an
 stricken locality. in which case i may take days to discover that tn nphcaval occurred beneath water
 And that's the best place for a, earthquake 10 perform Its unWel
 come gyrations.

There is a distinctly Winter cha
Ter about the dishes now served, IN
snite of the fact that there are two
Vegetable dinners. / have rather con.
centrated on what I sometimes called
"nade dishes; that Is, savory concoc-
tions fashioned from leftovers. For
example, good examples OF these are
baked cheese with eggs ana the re-
heated duck. My readers will by this
time know that I am thinking of these
with the needs of grown-ups in mind.
They are not for children, although or
high food value, because of the eggs
and cheese and other ingredients used
in their manufacture. Again. the
meals served are rather wintry In that
they are what are known as hearty.
In serving the broiled sirloin steak
with fried onions and the Hamburg
loaf, see to 1t that moderate portions
of the meat are reserve .or the cnli-
dren. These portions should be merely
broiled, dabbed with hlltter and salt
and given to the youngsters with the
accompaniment Of either fried onions
or French fried potatoes.
Desserts are still simple--for exam.
nle. creamy rice pudding. This Is the
least expensive form Of rice pudding
and. in fact, is sometimes called the
moor mans pudding. In spite Of the
fact that there are no eggs used, 1t is
what is known as rich pudding be.

g has been absorbed into the rice. When
rafsins are added 1t makes a particu.

FOOD AND THRIFT IN THE HOME
Nutrition Nuggets.

Although 1t may seem almost ex-
travagant to serve two kinds Of fruits
at one meal it is sometimes an advan.
tage. Baked apples combined with
stewed raisins give a good example
Although either fruit alone makes
good breakfast dish, in combination
they will sometimes give special de-
light, and the food value OF each Is,
Of course, increased.
In serving roast duck or any other
game, remember that this Is rich
form of meat and not suitable for
Younger children. Furthermore. there
is the difficulty OF deciding how best to
serve what Ia left for the second day.
While some game is palatable served
simnlv in form Of cold sliced meat,
this can hardly he said Of duck. There
is a strong flavor to this meat that is
decidedly noticeable unless it is served
hot.
It is interesting to know how many
popular and widely used food combi-
nations have a tendency to unbalance
the diet. BY this, it Is not meant to
imply that in and of themselves
the combinations are bad, but rather
that 1t is very easy to serve an over.
dose Of some one food element. The
classic ham and eggs are a good ex-
ample, and another in the dessert
class Is that of gingerbread and
whipped cream. One word of caution
must be added. It Is sometimes quite
seasonable to serve these very com.
binations, but the point to keep in
mind is that when one does, other
foods served at the same meal must
he taken into account so that there
will not be too much fat, or too much
Of any other one element served In the
meal.
In designing vegetable dinners, one
way in which to achieve the very
necessary variety and palatableness Is
to serve potato, which should appear
in practically every vegetable dinner.
in the form of cream Of potato soup.
When this Is done it Is not necessary
to have it appear in the vegetable
plate itself. The practice Of serving
potato in the form Of soup insures for
the meal the several agents to be
found in the potato--akaline ash and
mineral salts being the chief of these.
Don't think Of hamburg steak only
as fried steak. 1t is possible to serve
this form of meat either in a long
roll or a fiat steak, or in email cakes
and to pan broil it, or. better still, to
broil it over the Goals or gas. For the
latter one needs only an old-fashioned
wide broiler, well creased, and a little
care in shaping the meat so that 1t
will not fall apart. The resulting
dish is far more palatable and diges-
tible than the same meat served fried.
