necessity. Another necessity is . proper use of seasoning ingredients. A dash of sugar will touch up and blend the various flavors. A little tomato or onion will often add in- terest to what would otherwise be a flat dish. Peppers and pimentos. too, have an important place. Sea- son with care and imagination, and just see how enthusiastically your family responds.
 Steak Savory
 Arrange sliced, leftover steak in baking dish. On top of the steak put a thick layer of sliced onions, one cup stewed tomatoes, one chopped green pepper. Sprinkle with parsley and add one-half tea spoon salt, an equal amount of sugar. and pepper to taste. Bake until onions are tender.

In starting a spring inventory of beauty. look your skin in the face! If you look haggard, drawn, gray. if you have multitudinous lines, if there are inclined to be brown spots under the skin, certainly you should do something about it. Beauty may be more than skin deep but a beau tifully kept skin makes up for q lot of other things.
 Diet. exercise and care are first essentials to a good looking skin. The matter of diet we have taken up before. Moreover. it is com mon knowledge to day that in spring, of all times of the year, you should go heavy on fresh veg etables, salads, fresh fruits. milk and eggs and light on heavy pastries and other heavy foods.
 Exercise plays a tremendous part in a good. clear. fine-skinned com plexion. How about starting a lit tie early morning and walking to work? It may not be the least bit feasible in city. But certainly you can walk to one more train station without hurting yourself. Outdoor exercise is the ideal kind of exer- else, but in day when so many people cannot afford time nor money for golf, horseback riding, tennis or polo, walking is about the only way to get it. Nothing is better, how eyer. How about taking a weekend hike, instead of going to a stuffy party and staying up until dawn? You can start out Saturday. tramp until you are tired, stop for supper and stay all night in the country ho- tel and came back Sunday, or if you cannot afford that, take a long hike Sunday
 After bodily exercise and good diet, you must consider whether or not you are taking good care of your skin. Is it taut, is it stiff, is it flabby, is it oily? Any of these things is slightly abnormal. Maybe in your rush you really are not get ting your skin clean. Has that pos- sibility occurred to you?
 Nothing is better than to go to a first rate beauty establishment and have facial. It may cost any where from $2 to $20, depending on the place you go. But if you can afford to have one, you will learn a lot about caring for your skin that you never dreamed of. After having one, you can give yourself more.
 In the spring time, in olden days, everybody took a tonic You have heard of the old sulphur and molasses, haven't you? We'll, I con- slider a good facial quite in a class with the best tonics any woman can make. You'll feel set up immeas- urablV

opening dance, the Joie de Vivre jus tified it's existence. There were no preachers to ask a blessing on the spaghetti and ginger ale. There were no drooling infants fatty fin gering the tinseled tassels of the evening wraps. There were no pa- ternal smiles and no maternal nudges to express a snug and ad- miring approval, to suggest a courtesy or curb an impulse.
 
 Let the spaghetti be unconfined!" exulted Ginger.
 It was at Bard's suggestion, he being rather better versed in the do- ings of Bohemia than the rest of them, that now and then Pietro himself, in crisp, enveloping white apron and jaunty cap, should fare Rrth among the guests to serve them with fresh spaghetti hot from a huge bowl. It was upon one of these errands, when Bard was giv- ing him a whispered word of in- struction, that Pietro got his face well behind the spaghetti bowl to whisper a query of his own. "Uh-how about a little - uh- something extra-in your ginger ale?" he suggested.
 Have you got t?" calculated Bard with a surprise that was not simulated.
 "Got it? Sure I got it!' Bard looked interested, hesitated doubtfully. 'I don't know" he said. You go on out to the kitchen and wait for me. I'll come out there. Excuse me, Eddy, could l speak to you a minute?' The two men moved away from the table, conferred in whispers, moved slowly toward the kitchen. Do you suppose the girls would like a little?" suggested Bard. "Gosh, no. Why, those girls still think the fruit of the vine means jelly!" calculated Eddy. They were close to the kitchen entrance.
 "How long has that bird been in | town?" he asked. Just to-day. Got here this morn ing"
 Pretty quick work. Where do you suppose he got hold of it?'' At sight of them the stold Pietro q couple of cups. "Say when," he snickered.
 "Where'd you get it?" demanded Eddy. Its not at all bad-though Pm no judge.''
 "Oh, you always come across it,'' said Pietro evasively. Pretty good, yes?'
 Have ahother," suggested Bard. You're not peddling this around in there, are you?"
 "Who. me?" was the indignant rejoinder. "Me, I'm cook. Say, I'm no bootlegger. l got this for my own use. You're my friends, ain't you? Friends of little Nicolo, and all. Have another?"
 "No thanks. Put it away and keep it out of sight" And if we catch you passing it around the crowd in there we'll turn you over to the sheriff. This state is dry"
 "Yeh?" said Pietro with an inter- ested grin.
 As they made their way back they discussed it. 'I don't like it" said Eddie Jackson. "Ife got hold of it too quick. We don't work as fast as that out here"
 Half of those kids are still in high school, aren't they?" asked Bard uneasily.
 "Yes. And Ginger's responsible for this. She can call it Ben and Jenky's place all she likes, it's her money doing it and I know it.
 Keep an eye on all three O f them," suggested Bard "They can't get away with anything without our cacthing them." (To be Continued)

NANCY PAGE A Cake May Be a Pie When
 Tagged Washington
By Florence La Canke.

There are pies of all kinds, both with and without a top crust with and without straps or cross bars There are pies with whipped cream toppings and with meringues. But even that list does not include two of the most popular pies that aren't pies at all-cheese pie which is a combination cake and pie and Wash ington pie which is nothing but a cake. The fact that it is usually cut in wedge shape pieces seems to be the only reason for calling it pie.
 Washington pie is popular at George Washington's birthday large ly because of the similarity in names. But popular it is. Here is Nancy's recipe. She did not use the sponge cake recipe which is followed in many homes, but chose this one:
 She assembled one cup sugar, two eggs, one-half cup hot milk, one and one-quarter cups flour. sifted and measured and then combined with one and one-half teaspoons baking powder and one-half teaspoon salt. Next she measured one-half tea spoon vanilla and two tablespoons melted ShOrtening

SheCnut tell theTruth

It happens every month, but it's very regularity makes excuses the more embarrassing. What a pity all women harassed by painful periods have not learned to depend on Midol!
 A tiny tablet of Midol ends peri odic pain in five to seven minutes. Not even discomfort need now be experienced at such times. Your first trial of this marvellous product of specialists will prove the truth of this glorious news. Midol is not a narcotic and is perfectly harmless to use, but it acts directly on the organs affected and relieves com pletely and immediately in even severest cases. And Midol costs but fifty cents! You will find it at any drugstore in handy little metal car rying case that will tuck away in the smallest purse or pocket. Many have found Midol the quickest re- lief for headaches, neuralgia, neuri- tis and other pain.

She beat the whites, then added the yolks, beat them again, added sugar. Then the milk and next the dry ingredients were beaten in. Lastly the fiavoring and melted shortening went in. The mixture was put into two round layer cake pans and baked in moderate oven for 25 minutes. The layers were put together with a rich cream filling. The top was dusted with powdered sugar. For special occasions it was spread with lightly sweetened whipped cream instead.

MONTANA'S ROAD MEASURE

Montana's voters will go to the polls next Tuesday,
May s. to decide whether the State shall be allowed to
accept as gift total of 900 which the federal
government has offered If the measure is not APP
proved the money will be lost because the federal
government will not give the funds to Montana, I'M
less this State puts up nearly large to assist
with highway construction.
The federal government has, in effect said to Mon
tana: 1--WE will give to you SIPS for constructing
Montana roads for every dollar you put up for the
same purpose.
Unless Montana can raise its share of the money by
means of Referendum IS, which will allow issuance
of Highway construction warrants, there will be no
chance to get the federal gift
Interest in the campaign for Referendum 35 is high
It's approval will mean that the State can practically
complete its highway system within the next four
years, giving Montana the full use and benefit of the
completed system at least four years in advance.
Early completion of the roads will mean that the
States tourist travel, by conservative estimate will
be doubled. Last year motorists from other states
bought enough gasoline to pay 100000 in gasoline
taxes. After the highways are completed, tourists
will undoubtedly buy enough gasoline to repay the
highway construction warrants called for under Ref
erendum 35.
Completion of the roads will also mean that bur-
den will be lifted from counties. At the present
time, counties maintaining about 1900 miles of
road on the federal system which has not been COM
peted Upon its completion it will be taken over by
the State and all county road funds then may be used
for improving feeder roads and roads in farming COM
munites.
Approval of Referendum IS will mean that Mon
tana is taking steps to relieve the unemployment sit
uation at time when every effort should be made to
provide additional jobs for the idle and when every
job which is given will hasten the return of prosper
ity.
Approval of Referendum 35 also will mean that the
roads will be completed in Montana before federal
aid is withdrawn Otherwise the State may be call

TO OUR MOTHERS

Pleasant evidence of the popularity of American
mothers is contained in recent report by the Depart
ment Of Commerce concerning the effect of Moth
ers Day. on the sales Of candy National statistics
collected by the department show that candy sales
jumped twenty percent last year during the week
proceeding that holiday to be celebrated this year
on May 10TH Mothers Day, it appears, sends more
people to the candy counter than any other holiday
excepting Christmas and Easter.
The tons of sweets personally presented to mothers
or announced by the postnan's whistle are the best
answer to the cyncs who declare that the mothers of
this generation not holding the love and respect
of their children These same tokens of affection
also defiant and conclusive reply to certain modern
schools of psychology which are advocating more
detached attitude between mothers and children. The
deep love and reverence that finds it's expression in
verbal and material greetings on Mothers Day tes
timony to the sound and unbreakable bond between
them.
Modern mothers may be rouged and powdered
They may play bridge and golf. They may do less
cooling over their babies but the tenderness of moth
erhood is theirs as it was their own mothers few
women in every generation have been callous and in
different to their maternal duties and pleasures but
in this day as in all others, mother is the most in
fluential factor in chid's life.
So let's pile her lap high with candy and flowers,
and let's write poems in her praise Mothers Day.
Her unselfishness and sacrificial spirit have made
her worthy of all we can do and give and her love will
