MY Neighbor Says:

If a loaf of cake Is cut in the
center, the slices cut from each
side of the center first, and the
two ends pressed closely together,
the cake will not get stale as
quickly as it would If cut from
the end.
To prevent hard boiled eggs
discoloring put them into cold
water as soon as taken from the
stove. When cold remove the
shells.
Equal parts of glycerin and
paraffin mixed together and
coated over pipes exposed to the
cold, will prevent their freezing.
If you do not use your ice chest
during the Winter months, give
it a coat of white enamel now.
It will be well dried before you
start using il again.

Everyday Law Cases
What Is DepoSitor's Risk as to
Forged Checks DrGton on
His Account?
By THE COUNSELLOR.

Depositors need have little fear re-
garding the risk Of forged checks
drawn on their account. Almost the
entire burden Of such contingencies
must be borne by the bank.
The negotiable instruments law pro-
vides that where signature Is forged
it is wholly imperative and no rights
to retain such instrument or enforce
payment attach to the holder, unless
the party whose signature has been
forged is precluded from setting up the
forgery,
A depositor is precluded from setting
up the forgery in case he holds out
to the bank that another has authority
to sign for him or If he fails to ex-
anime the checks when they are re-
turned from the bank.
"a bank is bound to know the sig
nature of its depositor and Is liable II
it honors a forged check, no matter
how perfect the forgery. The bank Is
the debtor and owes the depositor the
money he has on deposit. AS debtor
it has no right to pay any part OF
the debt to any one without the
creditors authority. Paying out money
on a forged check being without the
authority of the depositor, the bank
is, therefore, liable to him."

tJames Kirke Paulding, l77o-lsso was an
American author and politician. He worked
of the periodical known as 'salmagundi.")
John Bull was choleric old fellow,
who. held a good manor in the middle
of a great mill-pond, and which, by
reason of its being quite surrounded by
water, was generally called Bullock Is
land. Bull was an ingenious man, an
exceedingly good blacksmith, dexter
Gus cutler, and notable weaver and
pot-baker besides. He also brewed
capital porter, ale, and small beer, and
was in fact a sort of jack of all trades,
and good at each. In addition to these
he was a hearty fellow, an excellent
bottle-compan and passably honest,
as times go.
But what tarnished all those qualities
was a quarrelsome overbearing DISPOSE
ton, which was always getting him
into some scrape or other. The truth IS,
he never heard of quarrel going on
among his neighbors but his fingers
itched to be in the thickest Of them;
so that he hardly ever was seen without
q broken head black eye, or bloody
nose.
Such was Squire Bull, as he was COM
monty called by the country people, his
neighbors-one of those odd, testy,
grumbling, boasting old codgers that
never get credit for what they are be-
cause they are always pretending to be
what they are not.
The squire was as tight hand to
deal with indoors as out; sometimes
treating his family as If they were not
the same flesh and blood, when they
happened to differ with him in GER
tain matters. One day he got into a
dispute with his youngest son Jonathan,
who was familiarly called Brother
Jonathan, about whether churches
ought to be called churches or meet
lighthouses; and whether Nteepless were
not an abomination.
The squire, either having the worst
of the argument or being naturally
impatient of contradiction Il can't tell
which, fell into great passion, and
swore that he would phySic such no
tions out of the boys noddle. SO he
went to some of his doctors and got
them to draw up prescription, made
up of 80 different articles, many OF
them bitter enough to some palates
This he tried to make Jonathan swal-
low; and finding he made villainous
wry faces, and would not do it, fell
upon him, and beat him like fury.
After this he made the house so dis.
agreeable to him. that Jonathan
though as hard as a pine knot and al
tough as leather, could bear it nc
longer. Taking his gun and ak, he put
himself in a boat and padded ovel
the mill-pond to some new land tt
~hich the squire pretended some sort
Of claim, intending to settle there, anc
build Westinghouse without steeplt
as soon as he grew rich enough.
When he got over, Jonathan founc
that the land was quite in state o.
nature, covered with wood, and in
habited by nobody but wild beasts. But
being a. lad of mettle, he took his a.
on one shoulder, and his gun on th'
other, marched into the thickest Of tn

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Friday. January 4.


Good luck should attend most busi-
ness enterprises tomorrow according 70
aStrology, which reads in the stars many
fair promises.
It is a sway especially favorable to
the activities of women, whether in the
home or outside of it.
The seers prophesy for women in
public life great success in 1929, and
there is forecast of great honor for
those who become legislators or office
holders.
While there will be strong sex an
tagonisms in the higher places in busi-
ness and the professions, they Will be
overcome rapidly, 1t Is predicted.
This is favorable date for entertain
ing and for buying new clothing.
Christmas gifts of money may be spent
advantageously while this rule prevails.
Theaters and places of amusement
should profit tomorrow.
Speculation is supposed to be fortu-
nate under this direction Of the stars,
but the stock market may be exceed
ingly tricky.
There is a good sign for those who
start sea voyage tomorrow, even
though it is Friday.
Merchants and manufacturers again
are supposed to be subject to the best
planetary influences, making for en-
larged markets and big profits.
Commerce is to benefit through en-
larged waterways, and great engineer
ing feats are foretold for various parts
of the country.
Congress is subject to planetary con-
ditions that seem to promise impor-
tant pages for American history.
Legislators will indulge in bitter con-
tentions only to harmonic later in i'm
portant issues, the seers prophesy.
Persons whose birth date it is have
the augury of a red-letter year In
which they make money and find new
friends. Many successes are indicated.
Children born on that day may have
extraordinary financial talent. Both
boys and girls are likely to attain ex-
alted places in the world in which
money rules. These subjects of Capri
friendships that endure.

Fried Chicken.

Have young chickens cut up in pieces
of convenient size for serving. If very
small, each can be cut into four pieces.
but large ones are usually cut into six
or more pieces. Roll each piece in
-four seasoned with pepper and salt.
Drop into deep fat and fry until tender
and brown. Because 1t will take a
little time for the chicken to cook
through, do not have the fat too hot
Use a frying basket If possible. Trans

How to Play Contract Bridge
BY MRS. FORTEsCUE.

First and foremost Of contract slo-
gans comes "Know the Scorel" Every
bid, the very meaning of the bid, Is
based upon the score. For example, the
score Is 90. You need but one odd for
game. If your opening bid is "three
hearts" what does that mean? An
overbid Of game is a slam invitation,
showing slam possibility. Had the score
been 80, the bid Of "three hearts" would
have been game bid, and therefore
have denied slam possibility.
Last week the full contract score card
was given. This week shall give ex-
amples of scoring. South and North
are playing a rubber against East and
West. South is keeping the score.
The first hand is dealt and South
bids and makes four odd in spades
Put the score down-four odd in spades
a times 3G-120, game.

Jellied Beet Salad.

Cut eight small cooked beets in thin
slices. Into saucepan put one and
one-fourth cupfuls of water, half a
cupful of vinegar, half a cupful of sugar,
one teaspoonful of salt. three cloves, two
allspice berries, small piece of bay
leaf and boil for five minutes. Remove
from the fire and pour over one and
one-half tablespoonful of gelatin which
has been soaked in little cold water.
Stir until dissolved and strain over the
beets, Turn into individual molds.
When firm, serve on lettuce with boiled
or nayonnaiSe dressing

Deducting ITO from 2,215 leaves 2,045
for East and West, 1000 points scoring
bid and made by East and West, and
second, to the large penalty due to
North's loss of two tricks doubled when
vulnerable.
The greatest gains at contract are
made by doubling and obtaining every
penalty possible. Always be alert to
double the opponents when they are
tempted to bid they cannot make.

and West already have 80 points to-
ward game. One spade is therefore
game bid. North passes. East bids
flour spades" Why bid four spades
when one spade was sufficient for
game? Slam bidding-certainly. West
carefully looks over his hand. 1t holds
greater strength than was shown by his
opening bid Of one, so his next declara-
ton is little slam in spades He
