SALOONS OR BEER PARLORs

Years ago when the women in
some of our towns and cities became
so concerned because the saloon.
keepers were enticing their husbands
and children into their clutches, the
women joined forces and picketeo
the places or labored with the pro
prietors till they gave up and lief,
town.
We are up against the very same
problem now and how are we to dea
with it? Our state has made pre-.
vision for granting licenses under
certain restrictions, and is it not a
fact that where these licenses arc
granted the communities assume
their share of the responsibility anu
accept whatever results are prodLc-
ed? If they don't like the results
they have the right to protest the
renewal of such licenses.
How much have our communities
benefited by legal liquor? Just ask
some of those who have members OF
their families or intimate friends
who have acquired the liquor habit
It's the same old story and nc
amount of excuses and talk of mod
Grafton will change it.
We can provide wholesome and
happy entertainment for our youth ii
we will, and thus save them and our
selves from the shame and disgrace
of wasted lives Let our homes SCI
the example in right living.

Asparagus

n RILLAT SAVARIN tells
- story Of asparagus in the
days when it was food for
kings and clergy, long before can
ners made it food for people of
all classes.
The Bishop of Belley was told
one day that head Of huge size
had just appeared above one of
the asparagus beds of his kitchen
garden. Everyone ran to the spot
and perceived an enormous head
that gave promise Of an asparagus
the size of column. For days
the asparagus continued to grow
and the bishop gave order to the
cutler to make knife big enough
for cutting the monster stalk.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1935-03-22
Came the Day

When the appointed day for
cutting came, feast was held,
after which the bishop advanced,
knife in hand, and followed by the
guests To the surprise of every
one the knife would not cut. The
asparagus was wooden one. The
joke had been played by a wood
turner in the village, who carved
the asparagus and each day stole
into the garden and lifted up the
imitation asparagus little by little
to initiate the nocturnal growth.
Today Gamers have found a
way of packing even mammoth as
paragus tips, so they come to us
even more tender in the can than
from the garden. And dietitians
have devised these delicacies.
Asparagus in Lemon Rings: Re-
move asparagus carefully from
two tall cans of asparagus, and
place in a large fiat skillet. Heat
in its own juice. When ready to
serve, slip four or five stalks
through lemon rings and pour
Hollandaise Sauce oyer the tips.
This serves eight persons.
French Asparagus Salad: Drain
and chill the contents Of a IT,
ounce can of asparagus tips, then
arrange on crisp romaine. Chop
finely one-half of a 4-ounce can of
pimiento and add with two table,
spoons capers to one-third cup
French dressing. Pour over the
salad and serve very cold. This
serves six persons
