Sammy knew all of Lightfoot's hid

POTTED MEATS AND FISH

TN ENGLAND potted meats are so
common that the everyday cook
knows all about preparing them. We
like to have such meats occasionally,
and the following are reliable meth
DDS of preparing such dishes.
Meat such as ham, tongue or chick
en-, as well as leftover fish Is potted
for a luncheon dish, rather than use
it in other ways, such as hash, which
is all too common in some homes.
The goodness of the potted meats Is,
of course, first of all, in the meat, then
in the proper pounding and prep
aration and seasoning. If carefully
prepared and put away, these will keep
for long time, and may be used for
an occasional snack or an emergency
dish.

SAMMY JAY WORRIES

TT ISN'T often Sammy Jay worries
about anybody but himself. Truth
to tell, he doesn't worry about himself
very often. You see, Sammy is smart
and he knows he Is smart Under that
pointed cap of his are some of the
cleverest wits in all the Green Forest.
Sammy seldom worries about himself
because he feels quite able to take
care of himself.
But Sammy Jay was worrying now.
He was worrying about Lightfoot the

Face Clear Again with

Here Is a letter every skin sufferer
should read. Its message Is vital.
There were blemishes on my face,
Of external origin, and they made me
look old and haggard. They were
red, hard and large. They would
hurt, and when I scratched them the
skin would become irrltated, and /
would lie awake at night and start
digging at my face.
But after using two cakes OF
Cuticura Soap and one tin of Cuti-

The history OF the fan Is as old as

Fans were first used by men, but
women soon discovered their artistic

them. When an emperor went to war

Washington-With the new
farm bill out of the way Congress
is trying to get down to a working
schedule that will let its members
get away before the political con
ventions. A dozen or so highly
controversial proposals, however are
bound to come up for discussion,
and nbody can guess very accurate
ly as yet what the outcome is 60
ing to be.
Senator Robinson, the Admin
istration's leader in the Upper
House, has announced that there
are seven measures which he calls
''live'' bills whose consideration has
been agreed upon by the Senate
leaders. One of them is going to
stir up a lot of debate. That is the
rural identification bill.
There probably will be even more
excitement when the bill to regulate
chain stores gets on the floor. This
would prohibit producers and diseri-
butors of merchandise from selling
cheaper to the chain stores than
they do to individual retailers. 1t
is one of Senator Robinson's pets,
with Senator Pattman actively in
terested. 1t will meet with strong
opposition not only from the chains
and from manufacturers, but from
consumer groups and from news
papers. 1t has about an even
chance of enactment as things look
now.
