A large baking dish is necessary for
this. If a casserole is not at hand,
a master with cover may be used.
Grease the baking dish. Cut six onions
in halves and place them in the bot
tom of the dish. Sprinkle with salt.
Core five medium sized apples which
have been pared. Cut each apple into
four or five rings and stick the end
of pork chop through these. Then
place five pork chops and apples over
the layer of onions and sprinkle light
ly with flour. Fill up the spaces with
white potatoes thinly sliced. Add salt
and pepper. Pour in one and one-half
cupfuls of boiling water and cover the
baking dish Bake until tender, which
will take a little over an hour. Then
remove the cover of the baking dish
and continue the baking until all the
food is a rich golden brown.

Everyday Psychology
Half the World.
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

If you go about the country, you will
find groups of people living in quarters
that you are sure you could never en-
dure; you will find people doing mental
tasks that you are sure you could never
be content to do; you will find people
holding fast to religious and political
principles which you would not for a
moment entertain. When you get to
thinking about these thousands of hui
man conditions of living, working and
thinking you admit that half the world
doesn't know how the other half lives. +"
Half the world" Better say "All
the world" No one really knows how
any other person lives or why. You say
half the world" either because you
imagine that your world Is the biggest
part Of the universe or because you
can think Of nothing else to say.
The best way to explain how the other
half lives is to explain your half first.
How did you come to get the idea that
the other people were living under
conditions you could never endure? Did
it ever occur to you that lot of your
sympathy for the other half of the
world was wasted? Or did it ever occur
to you that you might just as easily be
an object of wonder for the same folk
about whom you wonder?
In order to get at the psychology of
your half as well as the other half. it
will be to your advantage to take habits
into consideration. You can explain
more of the why's and wherefores of
human conditions on the theory of
habit formation than on any other
theory that psychology has devised.
In general the theory is this: Habits
are the real driving forces. THE &C
customed routine of life leads to a
craving almost of the nature of appe-
tite."
You are what you are because of your
bringing up and surroundings. Your
standard of living is habit. You be-
come contented with it. Your occupa-
ton Is habit. You get used to it and
enjoy 1t. Your ideas are habits. You
take personal interest in them.
In the words of noted psychologist,
habit prevents the hardest and most
repulsive walks of life from being de-
serted by those brought up to tread
therein. 1t keeps the fisherman and
the deckhand at sea through the Win
ter: 1t holds the miner in his dark
ness, and nails the countryman to his
log cabin and his lonely farm through
ell the months of snow"

himself is part.

cases were it not for the fast colors
that now can be had in wash goods.
The remarkable degree to which proc
esses have been perfected nsures the
textiles from crocking-that is, losing
color under steam or moist heat-and
also from becoming faded by light and
sun. 1t is important for the housewife
who is buying colored sheets and cases
to know she is getting the fast and
fadeless colorS. 1t is waste of money
to get linens that will not keep their
color, for laundering must be frequent.
In speaking of linens 1t must be re-
membered that it has now acquired a
flexible meaning. The word includes
cotton goods as well as those woven
from fax At one time bed linens
actually were linens, but that day has
long. passed. It is only the highest grade
of bed linen that continues to employ
fax Therefore, colored bed linen may
be linen or it may be cotton goods
Opportunity is afforded woman to
have the color that is most becoming
in her sheets and pillowcases. When
she does this she must see to it that
the color scheme of the room includes
just the tone she wants to use for
the bed linen If pink sets off her
complexion best she would naturally
select delicate rose color for the linen.
If yellow accents her charms there are
beautiful tones of yellow in linen from
which to make her choice. If orchid
and lavender suit her, these can be
had. But in each instance the linen
must be in harmony with the colors
used in the room itself. Another OPP
portunity to add artistry through color
is offered.
An interesting note of contrast is
sounded when the initials marking the
linen are in white, or a much deeper
tone of the same color, or in another
color brought out in the decorative
scheme of the room. The initials
which have been appearing each Mon
day for the last three weeks can be
used admirably for marking the linen.
The initials may be enlarged, and but
single letter mark the linen, or two
or three of the smaller letters may
be used together. An excellent way
to do this is to put the several letters
inside of a rather large diamond or
circle as preferred. The small diamond,
or circle, now employed in the initial
ing would then be discarded and the
initials only be used, for the one large
pendant form should be used alone. To
fill in the bare space above and below
the letters embroider a wee diamond
in solid color, or put in a wee three

THE WIVES OF THE PRESIDENTS
Rachel Donelson, for Whom Andrew Jackson Fought

Few women have commanded such de-

that he fought a duel and killed a
man. In his love for her he honored
all other women.
Life Tor Rachel jackson did not really

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Thursday, October II.

Although benefic aspect will domi-
nate tomorrow, according to astrology,
it is well to avoid important business
while this rule prevails.
In the morning hours it is well to
conduct business in the most con-
sentative manner, for there may be a
temptation to be too sanguine.
The planetary government is most
favorable for men and women in places
of prominence. They will probably be
stimulated and encouraged by influ-
ences that encourage self-confidence.
Tomorrow is more fortunate for per-
sons who have already attained sue
cess than for those who seek it. The
signs are fairly promising to all who
look for employment or promotion.
Again women are subject to adverse
rule, preSaging disappointment for those
who desire to serve the public.
Transition will mark the theaters
as well as the destinies of various
artists, who should know that period
of tremendous prosperity for all who
aspire to the finer vacations is at hand.
This is not particularly lucky rule,
for theaters and motion picture houses
may experience changes that are costly,
but ultimately profitable.
AStrologerS announce that with the
passing of the giants of the world of
achievement new leaders are develop
ing in secret. They will command in
slant recognition.
While this CONFORMATION prevails
lovers may be apathetic and not in
clined to enter bonds of matrimony.
They should be managed with skill
Summer f1irtations will be slow in
materializing into marriages this year,
it is fOretOld But there will be MANY
weddings in the Winter.
Persons whose birth date it is should
be prudent rather than adventurous in
the coming year, which should bring
fair fortune to all who attend strictly
to their own affairs.
Children born on that day may be
inclined toward pride and vanity.
These subjects Of Virgo usually require
the best of everything and are sensitive
regarding good appearances.

ended in pioneer log-cabin existence
in a settlement lately set up in the
wilderness.
Rachel Donelson was black haired,
black-eyed, graceful, active, gay. AS
she grew into young womanhood Col.
Donelson gained wealth and influence
At Is she was a belle, a suburb horse
woman and an outstanding figure at
every social event she attended. Of
education she had little. Schoolhouses
were few and far between.
In 1785, during a trip to Mercer
County, Kentucky, she met and married
Capt. Lewis Richards, as good looking as
she. but not so good-natured. They
went through five years of unhappi-
ness and then separated. Rachel Rob-
ards went back to her home in Ten
nessee. Capt. Robards was incurably
jealous.
The Donelson family's situation had
changed. Indians had killed the colo
mel, and his widow was receiving board
ers, not so much for financial profit as
for protection from Indians. Among
the men Rachel Robards met in her
mothers house was Andrew Jackson, a
young lawyer, brave, chivalrous and
impetuous.
Efforts were under way to bring about
RECOMMENDATION between capt. RoDaroS
and his wife. In the summer of 1889
he appeared at Mrs. Donelson's, re-
union was effected, and he took up his
residence with his wife. But he could
not conquer his old trouble-jealousy.
And now Andrew jackson was its OBJ
ject-that Andrew Jackson who be-
lieved every woman to be impeccable
and was never unwilling to fight in sup
port of his belief.
There was a quarrel which ended in
Richards going back alone to Kentucky.
But word came later that he would re-
turn, and his wife departed for her
sisters home, at Natchez. A friend of
the family, Col. Stark. escorted her.
Chivalrous Andrew Jackson went along,
too, to guard against Indians.
The beginning of romance between
Jackson and Rachel Robards was the

Facial Exercises.

Any one who has tried facial exer-
ctses know how very soon the muscles
become tired. Thus, of course, goes to
show that they are unused to work. Like
muscles at other parts of the body.
these facial muscles become flabby when
they are left idle and never put under
any kind of strain.
While I do not recommend facial
contcrtions as exercise for every one.
1 think they are especially helpful to
young women and girls who are SAL
low and inclined to become fat around
the jaws and throat. Older women
whose faces have become nabby and
wrinkled will aESve more benefit
from facial mass1ee of the right sort
than from such exercises, in my
opinion
Before beginning facial exercise, one
should apply cold cream to make the
skin supple. The exercises will cause
temporary wrinkles in the face and
these would tend to become permannt

creases more readily than does an oily

briskly while the muscles are con-
tracted.
Exercise 3-Throw the head back
and open the mouth. Draw the lips to-
gether, but keep them from meeting
by keeping the Jaws apart. Relax and
repeat three tins.
Exercise 4-Keeping the lips firmly
pressed together, fill the cheeks with
air, then very gradually permit the
air to escape through a small opening
between the lips.
Exercise 5-Throw the head back and
go through the motions of chewing a
very large object, but keeping the lips
together.
After the exercise period. which
should occupy no more than five min
uteS, wipe of the cold cream, wash the
face, dry and pat on skin lotion.
1t should be remembered that facial
exercises performed for a short period
each day are quite different from the
face contortions and grimaces that are
habitual to some of us whenever we
laugh or smile. The mirthful express
sion that FUCKERS the eyes and creases
the cheeks leaves permanent wrinkles
on the face. This habit destroys the
smoothness and beauty Of the face. 1t
is quite possible to express pleasure
without stretching the mouth into the
grin and making creaSeS on the face.
