CuSTARD DESSERTS WILL BAKE BETTER
 IN SMALL DISHES
Coffee is Also Better When Roasted in Small Lots -
 Hills Bros.' Method

The smaller the dish, the more evenly and quickly the oven heat can penetrate to the center of the custard. Such results cannot be counted upon when large baking dishes are used.
 Applying this principle to roast ing their fine blend of coffee, Hills Bros. found the way to develop uni form flavor in every ounce. A con- stant stream of green coffee is introduced into the roaster in auto matically measured lots of about three pounds, and passes through in a steady flow, roasting a little at time. There is accurate con- trol of both the flow of coffee and the temperature.
 This process, patented by Hills Bros.-Controlled Roasting-de- velops a delicious uniform flavor no other coffee has. The ordinary misunderstanding in bulk--is vir- tually lacking in control.
 Grocers everywhere sell Hills Bros. Coffee in the vacuum can that keeps it ever-fresh. Air, which destroys the flavor of coffee, is re- moved from this can and kept out. Coffee packed in ordinary cans, even if air-tight, does not stay fresh. Ask for Hills Bros. Coffee by name and look for the Arab the trade-mark-on the can.

Man Hires Himself to Re- lieve Himself as
 Store Watchman

CHICAGO. Jan. 23.-Every day at 5 o'clock Frank Eckhart would meet himself at the time clock, salute and report; five o'clock and alls we'll Wind from the East"
 He would give the clock lusty punch, turn his overcoat inside out, change his name, punch the clock again and stride forth to duty
 On payday he would step to the window and collect Frank Eckart's weekly pay envelope of SAP. Then he would walk around the block, change his expression and come back for the SAP pay envelope of Frank Richards.
 By day he was day watchman, and by night he was night watchman.
 The company finally discovered Eckhart had hired himself to re- lieve himself on watch at 5. They called it obtaining money under false prstenses."

The Old Rug

If rug is faded or so worn that
the bare warp shows, it may be
freshened and renewed by dyeing
it. Use mixture of some good
dye solution, plenty strong and
darker than the rug, or it will
make no impression. Scrub the dye
in with stiff bristle scub brush,
taking first one section of the rug
and then the next, in turn, as one
would paint a floor.
A blue colored rug with a dark
red dye or a red rug covered with
a dark blue dye, would be mulbe-
y color. A rug covered with a blue
dye would be greenish blue and SO
one may judge of combinations.
When you have dyed the rug, open
the windows and let the air blow
through the room to dry it prompt
ly.
If the ug is too much worn to
dye successfully, you can make it
into very good linoieum by cover
ing it with two coats of paint. An
additional coat Of paint each year
will keep it in condition.

To Lay the Silver

Many women set the table year
after year, but when they plan to
have some very particular COM
pany, they realize that they do not
know exactly where the salad fork
should be put nor how to arrange
the spoons nor to use the butter
spreader-if any.
The stainless steel knife now
used as a general service knife,
has eliminated the former steak
knife from use; and that is a good
thing for the housewife, as the
silverplated blade wore out while
the handle was still good. A new
knife has made its appearance,
however. It is the salad knife,
smaller than the service knife, and
it is used to cut head lettuce and
such salads.
The regulation order now is:
Next to the plate on the right side
the service knife, next to it the
smaller knife for salad cutting and
next to that the spoon. Fewer

SUMMERS AIDS
BUTTER USE
Congressman's Bill Will
Hike Consumption Half
Million Pounds

Although DR.. John w. Summers
snends a great deal of his time
dealing with strictly local prob
Ions. considerable work is done
with the larger issues.
The local congressman presented
+be independent offices appropria-
finn bill on the floor of the house
At Washington, Dc, in the past
months and directed debate on the
measure, which involved more than
. billion dollars in expenses for "a
branches of the federal govern
ment.
During the presentation he sub
mitted an amendment which for
bade the use of butter substitutes
IN the tables of all veterans hos
nitals and soldiers homes of the
country. DR.. Summers had discov-
cred that it was the practice to use
butter substitutes for table use in
the soldiers homes. This one item
alone is estimated to increase but
ter consumption in this country by
100000 pounds year. This bill
goes into effect July first.

Perfumes

1t was the search for rare per-
fumes and the trade in them that
led to the discovery and commerce
about the earth-and all that mi
lady might be kept sweet and fra
grant for the pleasure of MILFORD.
With the reversion to the feminine
type, mysterious scents, lures and
wiles have come into their own
again. You who scorn them, think
ing they belong to the brainless,
have another thought coming. It
is an art to exude a fascinating
fragrance, as you swish down the
avenue. 1t has rules and principles
just as any other branch of learn
ing.
First begin with the daily bath
twice daily if the day is hot. As a
practical little business girl, leave
off the lure-stuff. and take good
soap and water scrub in the morn
ing. But at eventime, that's diff
ferent. Then you add bath salts
and afterward use busting powder,
possibly astringent lotions for un-
der-arm pits. When dressed, you
spray a zephyr of perfume lightly
over hal and all. You handkerchief
and gloves you take from a tight
ly closed box which is scented with
sachet, with its faint but clinging
odor.
One caution, my dear, do not be
a medly of odors. One tonescent is
the ideal, but if you have not
achieved this, at least the odors
must harmonic.

spoons are used than formerly as
forks are considered daintier and
are used in eating, whenever pos
sible, though it is somewhat of a
trick to carry peas to the lips on
a fork.
At the left of the plate, the sal
ad fork is next to the plate, and
other forks range along to the
left. The plan is to so arrange the
silver that one may begin at the
outside and eat his way in, in the
order of use. The bread and but
ter spreader is laid across the top

Business and Education

The universities are concerned
with scholarship, with the training
OF the human intellect and not with
its final application to this or that
lucrative pursuit. Their ideal prod
uct is the man whose mind, wheth-

minister or a hairdresser, a mil
lionaire or a poor curate, is q
source of satisfaction to himself
and of entertainment to those who
happen to come into his company.

Legion Membership
Past Commanders, Back in Harness.
Are Trying to Stimulate Enrolment

This has been designated as
Past Commanders Week" by
Con Johnston, commander of the
North Carolina department of
the American Legion, and the
past commanders of all the
posts in the state have been
urged to get into harness again
to- stimulate enrolment.
The post here in Chapel Hill
is 38 members short of the num-
Der on the roll last year. There
were 129 then, and there are 81
now.
"We are anxious to have all
ex-service men enroll in the Le-
gion," said Post Commander
Paul Robertson yesterday, "and
they ought to do it before sum
down tomorrow, January 81, for
that is the day when the official
figures are to be reported to
state and national headquarters.
There was never a time when
there was greater need than
there is now for the services Of
the Legion in the relief of the
disabled and in the other activi-
ties in behalf of veterans. Ev-
cry veteran can help by becom-
ing a member"
The annual membership dues
are $3.50. Payment may be
made to Commander Paul Rob-
ertson, to Finance Officer J. A.
Ross, to Carl Durham at Eu-
banks drugstore, or to any other
active member of the post.
Checks should be made out to

History Professor Has to Part with His Pie

( .E7r.E
i'll and had recuperAted to the point
where they could eat heartily. Mrs
Lasley, in the course of morning
call, had told them that she was 60
ing to send over an apple pie for
their dinner. They got through part
of the meal-but there was no pie in
sight.
The Lasleys' maid had carried the
pie to the Wagstaffs by mistake. How
the mistake was discovered is not in
the evidence. Maybe Mrs. Mcintosh
called up and asked what about the
pie. Maybe the maid mentioned
where she had gone. Anyway, just
as the pie was about to be intersected
the Wagstaff telephone went ting-a-
ling-a-ling. Mss. Lasley was on the
wire, and she explained how the Nc
Intnshes had been ill-and 50 on. Il
the Wagstaffs would forgive the er-
ror they would get another pie later
on.
And so the history professor, with
sad and hungry eyes, and sigh OF
more or less Christian resignation,
sent the pie over to the law professor.
