As Whitner you won't find as

Asthma Agony

Don't rely on smokes, sprays
and injections if you suffer from
terrible recurring, choking, gasp
ing, wheeling spells of Asthma.
Thousands of sufferers have found
that the first dose Of Mendaco
usually palliates Asthma spasms
and loosens thick strangling mucus,
thus promoting freer breathing
and more restful sleep. Get Men
daco in tasteless tablets from
druggists, only Coo. Money back
guaranteed unless fully satisfied.

1857 in the little World Series
Your long legs, which helped in
the stealing of Fl bases in 1910
can cover a lot of ground-and no
doubt you like to think that YOUR
college days at Rollins were made
happy by your football career.
These figures, Ed, interest all
sports fans. After all you are
the possible successor to Lou Geh-
rig. That is the most hOnOred SPOT
in the baseball world.
But you tried to escape YOUR
self. Remember Sammy Bohne.
who drifted into oblivion after a
few seasons with the Cincinnati
Reds? Bohne, born Cohen, flop
ped hard. The name didn't mean
a thing when he covered second
base. In making the pivot, Cohen
could have done just as well or
as badly as Bohne. Levy will hit
the curves of Tommy Bridges, or
the knuckler of Dutch Leonard as
easily as Whitner will. Only Levy
will go down swinging with the
cheers of the fans in his ears (if
he hustles and plays hard) Whit
ner wouldn't hear those cheers.
1 hear tell that you are "Levy"
again and not ''Whitner." News
paper headlines called you Whit
Ger-and you should know that
Levy fits a headline with more
ease. You are rs years old and
you have probably learned that a
Levy is as good as a Hassett.
Buddy Hassett is your main OBJ
stacle as Yankee initial sacker.
Isn't Levy as good a name as
Hassett?
Yours,
AL Lurie

Virginia Baked Ham

Let the men talk about economy, it's the women who are really go- ing to practice 1t and make 1t work. But like every other kind of saving, economy in food buying and preparation must be truly intelli- gent to be effective.
 The best way of stretching food dollars to make them go further is to buy "stretchable" foods. For in- stance, instead of buying meat for one meal, buy @ ham or roast that will stretch" over several meals. Serve it for Sunday dinner in all its fresh goodness of taste and ap- pearance. Then, using your ingen- ity and some of the many attrac- tive recipes from your recipe file, serve it in a variety of disguised" forms that will contribute to econ- omy at no sacrifice of family favor.
 Save, too, in the actual cooking. Use utensils which utilize cooking heat most efficiently, and help save fuel. Porcelain enameled ware, now being featured extensively, meets these requirements. It heats quick ly and evenly, and all the food is heated in almost equal degree in a comparatively short all-over cook ing time. Furthermore, it retains the heat well, is easy to clean and 1t saves you time and work after wards.
 If your family has weakness for ham, here is the way to prepare 1t for its first gala appearance at Sum- day dinner, and some additional recipes for serving it at "follow-up"

|St. Patrick's Day Food Recipes

st. Patrick's Day puts tis in a re- captive mood for festivity. It re- quires so little time to add those extra touches which lend to a "wearin' of the green" atmosphere. shamrocks, top hats, pipes, blarney stones and any number of things are appropriate to use for decora- tions so the possibilities for table settings are almost linitless.
 If you serve 8 buffet luncheon, a buffet supper or dinner party 1t makes no difference, for many menus are equally good for all three. The following menu has been planned so you can serve 1t any time. Inez s. Wilson, home eco11o- mist, recommends that you start the meal with fruit juice cockail-- orange and grapefruit juice with ginger ale is delightful combina- tion--add- a little fruit coloring to carry out the green note. For the main meal choose a crown roast of pork. ~
 The crown roast is made from the rib section of two pork Joins, each having he same number of ribs. Allow one rib for each Serv- ing.
 To prepare the crown of pork place it in 8 roasing pan so the rib ends are down and the meaty part of the roast is uppermost. As the meat cooks, the fat and liquid will haste the bones so hey will not become too brown. Insert a meat thermometer so the bulb reaches the center of the thickest part Do not add water and do not cover. Roast in a moderate oven (350 degrees F) until the meat thermometer registers 18S degrees F. or done for fresh pork. If a meat thermometer is not available. Allow 30 minutes per pound for roasting,
 Other Foods. Plain and Fancy
 You're doing everyone 8 good turn when you serve green veges tables and meals to celebrate St. Patrick's day give plenty of reason for including them. Entered green peas can go to the party in the cen- ter of the crown roast of pork. Baked potatoes must not be omit ted either, and for salad serve 8 combination of fruits in lettuce cup. Place spoonful of mayon- naise on each salad topped with a green shamrock cut from pear and tinted in the pear juice to which coloring has been added. Cloverleaf rolls are delicious and are appropriate for a St. Patrick,s day meal. And for dessert, what could be better than mint ice cream with chocolate sauce.

 No. cans shrimp
 4 or 5 green pepper rings 1 cup mayonnaie
 1 teaspoon onion juice IA teaspoon paprika
 1-4 cup chopped green pepper l tablespoon lemon juice
