And the very first time he came to

After he'd said hello and sat down, he
didn't open his mouth. So she said
hello and sat down, and didn't open
her mouth. She claims they sat that
way, without saying one solitary word
to each other for one entire hour. She
timed it. And finally he broke down
and told his life history.
After that, she says, they were fast

Masculine Reader Proves Eligibility Housekeeper
The Old Gardener Saws:

Dahlias are among the good
garden flowers which may be
planted rather late. They are
at their best In late Summer and
Autumn, when the weather is
beginning to get cool. OF course,
all garden makers are familiar
with dahlias of the usual type,
but there are many who have
not yet become acquainted with
the dwarf varieties, most of which
have been imported from Eng
land. Their use is suggested now
in gardens where geraniums and
begonias have become common
place, for they are charming bed
ding plants. Their use for max
ing beds has become widespread
in foreign countries and there is
no reason why the plan should
not be adopted here. Dwarf
dahlias are we'll worth adding

WHETHER the nicely Drowned

an Early Ohio from the Red River
Valley of Northwestern Minnesota, an
Irish cobbler from Maine, or an early
pink from Norfolk and the South

Here is the secret which I have
worked out for my family of one. Get
metal sponge for cents at the FIVE
and-ten store. The potato has two
main layers of skin. The outer husk
Is worthless-no taste. no food value.
That is why some people-ladies
specially-cannot eat baked potato
as. to my taste. it should be eaten.
Men are not so squeamish-toughe
consciences. But your metal sponge
does the securing act so thoroughly
that even a l6-year-old miss can eat
the potato-the whole potato and
nothing but potato-and enjoy every
n1outhful without stopping to remove
the worthless outside husk.
"Your metal sponge will remove the
entire outside husk in half the time
It takes to peel the potato. You then
have beautiful white or pink tuber

potato with as delicate and 'peachy'
tint as the 16-year-old herself The
specks that cannot be washed off, or
even removed by brush-such as
insect and handling scars-are secured
of by the metal mesh. The worthless
husk is gone All food value, all
flavor properties, are preserved. And
you do the whole job with a few
vigorous flashes under your cold-water
faucet-in half the time you would
consume with brush or a potato
peeler.
Have you thought of this? The
flavor and food values of the tuber lie
next to the inner skin layer. Peel
the potato and you lose half the nu-
triton and fine flavor of it. Mostly
what you have left is tasteless starch.
You have the fat-making part-and
rob yourself of the flavor and best
food content, spoil your figure and
your fun, finally driving you to eating
