Pepper Has Completed a Cycle

The frantic search for pepper
these days, and its increasing value
in the eyes of housewives and
epicures, is barking back to the
era when pepper was so valuable
that tribute was levied in it. In
408, for instance, one of the articles
demanded by Alaric as part of the
ransom OF Rome was 1900 pounds
OF pepper. It's eXhorbitant price
during the middle ages was one of
the inducements which led the
Portuguese to seek sea route to
India-thereby starting the chain
that led to Columbus discovery of
the New World. Pepper, in fact, re-
manned monopoly of the Portu-
guese crown as late as the 18th
century.
Up to 1861 our own Salem, Mass,
was known all over the world as the
Pepper Port" The first cargo of
the condiment ever imported to the
United States was landed there in
1895 by one Jonathan Carnes, a
Salem captain. While on an East
Indian voyage he had heard OF the
enormous profits being made in
pepper, and promptly sailed for

Answer: Every job in the world
is what you make it. You get out
of your work, in interest, in happi-
ness, in money, just what you put
into it. There are plenty of women
who begin their careers as little Miss
Pothooks who rise to be "our inval-
liable Miss Jones or Miss Smith" in
business. Offices and command big
salaries.
But a woman can only do that if
she likes her work; If she gets a

have things looking nice, but it's
pretty much of a lost art with our
wives. When I tell this to Foxy,
she says I'm old-fashioned and any
way my mother didn't have to work
on the sleazy material they put
into clothes these days.
II child tears his good trousers
sliding bases, he should be made to
wear them with a darn in them,
so he'll learn to put on play clothes
the next time he plays baseball But
if his mother gets him new clothes
every time he messes up the old
ones he is bound to continue in his
thoughtless ways.
Why, when l was a little boy,
some of the big families used to
hand the same clothes down through
three or four children as each one
grew into them, and they weren't
always the same sex either. At
social gathering a lady would be
complimented on how nicely she
had made over Sarah's dimity dress
into a blouse for little Willie, and
the kids themselves would brag
about it.
Nowadays from what my children
tell me. it's major disgrace to
appear at school in any clothes that
an older brother or sister has worn.
That, to my old-fashioned mind, il
Just another keeping up with the

mend the old ones.
