To have a bona-fide continental

also be selected. Apple Strudel is
my choice. This can be served
plain, with hard sauce, plain

an Austrian recipe, and the in
Structions for preparing and ripen-

Etiquette
BY MRS.CORNELIUs BEECKMAN
"Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

"Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
"SOrry to bother you with
such trifle, but to settle a diff
ference in opinion, venture to
as you: What is the correct
position or place for a coffee
table when it is not in use?' A.
says it should be in front of the
davenport, where it is when in
use or a little to the left or
right almost at the end of the
davenport. B. says it should be
put over in the corner out of
the way. E."
I definitely agree with A. The
perfect place for a coffee table,
either when it is in use or not in
use, is in the center-front of the
divan. Then it is most conven.
iently placed when we wish to
serve after-dinner coffee or other
beverage from it; and it is in con-
venient position to hold cigarette
accessories or books or magazines
when it is not in active service.
Artistically, too, this center-front
position for the coffee table is
good, for it gives a balanced ap-
pearance to this grouping of fur.
niture, a feature of decoration
much to be desired.

Having written about dinner
suits, or evening tailleurs as they
are often called, several times in
the past two months, and almost
as much the past, two weeks, we
will let the matter of their styles
rest with that, for the present.
But there are two notable things
that must be reported.
First of all, a New York store
brings out broadcloth wraps to
wear over our dinner suits. If
women are going to invest in spe-
cial wraps, they will certainly have
at least one suit to wear under
them, and most women with ex-
tensive wardrobes will have more
than one.
Extra Shirts
Another store offers evening
shirts, as nearly like mems dress
shirts as it is wise to have them,
to wear with dinner suits. Most
of the shirts or blouses, if you
prefer, are of such materials as
pique, finely pleated as to boxom,
with a tiny rundown collar, and
white tie" or black tie"
So far the manufacturers of
dresses don't seem to care whether
we wear white or black ties. Some
suits have white, others black,
though it seems to me that black
ties might go best with our
escorts black ties, if we're going

Dear Donna Grace: My skin is

you advise me how to demOliSh
these pimpleS? B. LEE"
Dear B. Lee: First scrub your

and water and then rinse it until
every trace of soap is removed.
After that, sponge it we'll several
times day with a solution OF
boracic acid-a teaSpoontul OF
boric acid to pint of boiling water
will make a good solution.
Use little absorbent cotton pads
to apply the solution to the face,
and never touch your face with
your hands or fingers, as this may
infect a sensitive skin. This is only
a part of the treatment but all that

These white spots are supposed
to mean a gift is coming to you. I
believe they may be caused by a

How you steer your course

likely it is the far horizon which

gray road which runs past ouI

a day.
The calcium content in an aver
age diet is from so to 100 per
cent above the minimum needs.
The only element that appears to
be likely to range around mini.
mum standards is phosphorus.
Sherman is of the opinion that
the average American dietary is
closer to the lowest phosphorus re-
quirement than is always safe,
and suggests that perhaps some
cases of malnutrition are due to
insufficiency of phosphorus.
Foods which contain a large
amount of phosphorus are egg
yolk, lean beef, cheese, wheat,
beans, nuts.
Sulphur is closely linked to pro-
tein and especially muscle metab-
olism, and the nitrogen and sui.
phur excretion of the body is
closely parallel, which means
that sulphur leaves the body
mostly in some form of protein
combination. Likewise the greater
part of sulphur enters the body
in organic combinations, chiefly
as proteins. Beef, eggs, milk.
bread. oatmeal, beans, peas and
potatoes contain good amounts of
sulphur.
Iron
Iron does not leave the body in
very large quantities. The iron in
combination in the body is broken

used again to build new cells.
Thus only in the presence of hem.
orrhage or rapid growth is it nee.
essary for the diet to contain a
large amount of iron. In infants
this has been found somewhat
of a, problem, because milk is
quite deficient in iron, and in.
fants on an exclusive milk diet
may suffer from anemia in conse.
quence.
The following table will give a
comparative idea of the amounts

AL SMITHS POSITION.

AL SMITHS POSITION.
To the Editor:
Poor old disgruntled AL.
The Happy Warrior of lod.
| deserted Roosevelt, his best Pal:
10 JOIN ALT, in the Republican fold.
The contrast between the admirable
! bigness of Jimmy Walker and the
desplcable littleness of AL Smith, was
very forceably brought to the atten-
ton of the people of this country the
past week, through the public utter
ances of the two men concerning their
respective attitudes toward the New
Deal, President Roosevelt and the
Democratic organization. JIMMY
Walker had every right in the world
to harbor a lasting grudge against
President Roosevelt, he ignored that
right however, and came out en-
Enthusiastically for the present admin
lstration and the New Deal. AL Smith
not only denounced the administra-
ton and his old friend Franklin D..
who has done more to popularize AL
Smith with the American people than
any dozen men in the nation, but he
boldly and brazenly stepped over the
line into the outstretched arms of his
lie long Republican enemies. That is
certainly carrying a grudge too far.
BY this one act he has forever furled
the Flag of Happy Warrior so
gracefully drap about his shoulders

velt
The question that is puzzling the
loyal Democrats all over this country
today, is why any one in his right
mind should advocate the defeat of
/ President Roosevelt this fall, be he
Democrat or Republican. People are
eating regular today, who four wears
ago under the Hoover regime, scarce
ly ever knew the taste of wholesome
food. They had no money or food and
no JOB to make money enough to buy
the bare necessities of life Today
everybody who wants to work can
find job and every business and
corporation in the country, that has
been even reasonably we'll managed
is making large dividends on their
investments and the profits are in
! creasing. The Republicans are using
the very same bait this year to catch
fifty years. The voting fish are not
biteing
A Raleigh wag asked a friend a few
days ago if he knew who was the
father of the Republican party, being
answered in the negative, the wag
then told his friend, the devil was
the father of the Republican party,
when asked to explain his statement
he said, "the Bible tells us the devil
is the father of liars" and as the Re-
F.! publicans have been telling monstrous
| lies on President Roosevelt and the
New Deal ever since the campaign
started, the devil is bound to he the
daddy of the Republican party. This
crudely expressed opinion is very
rapidly becoming nationwide in it's
scope. There seems to be no limit to
the mendacity of the Republican
speakers and writer's in their efforts
to discredit and defeat President

TODAY'S YESTERDAYS


400 Years Ago Today-William
Tyndale, 56-year-old Welshman who
was first to issue a printed edition of
any part of Scriptures in English, was
strangled and burned in Brussels be-
cause of it?
Tyndale, a cannon at Oxford, be-
lieved the Testaments should be
made accessible to the common peo-
pie in translations into their own
tongue from the Latin and Greek of
the scholars. Higher prelates held
the common people were incapable
of Understanding and interpretating
the Scriptures, and that making the
Bible available to anybody was pro-
ductive of heresy.
Unable to achieve his design in
England, Tyndale had his translation
of the New Testament from Greek
printed in Antwerp, and copies were
struggled into England. But church
members were forbidden to read them
and agents of the archbishop of Can
terbury even bought up copies on the
Continent to destroy them. Finally
ecclesiastical authorities caused Tyn-
dale's arrest in Brussels, and saw to
it that he and his aids were incin-
Grated with all their works.
Fortunately, copies escaped the bon
fires and Tyndale's translation form
ed the basis of the first widely distri-
buted editions of the Bible in English.
