REFRESHMENTS FOR SMALL IN*
FORMAL ENTERTAINMENTS.
Suggestions for Imparting an Air of
Novelty as Well as Dainty Per-
fection to the Enjoyable After*
noon Tea.
To the hostess who entertains fro
quently with small Informal afternoon
teas—and, thanks to the growing spirit
of hospitality which deprecates mere
vulgar display, the number is increase
ing—nothing is more acceptable than
suggestions whereby she can impart
to her simple feast a touch of novelty.
Beyond a cup of tea or chocolate the
refreshments served are so slight that
to make the desired impression they
must have a dainty perfection both as
to flavor and appearance not so neces-
sary at a larger and more varied af-
fair.
The first thing to be considered is,
of course, sandwiches. Aim first to
tickle the palate, next to satisfy the
eye, and let novelty enter only when
it comes hand In hand with the first
precept.
It seems hardly necessary to empha-
size that half the battle in making
dainty sandwiches lies in well made,
well sliced bread. Where the round
loaves baked for this purpose can be
produced a good shape can be secured
with little trouble, otherwise to attain
the half circle which most housekeep-
ers like there must be a great waste
both of time and bread.
Hard Boiled Eggs, Plmentoes and
Pickles.—These are made as the
above, the eggs, both white and yel-.
low, chopped quite fine, to which is
added an equal quantity of chopped
pimentoes and good pickles. Mix with
mayonnaise dressing and spread gen-
erously over the bread.
Chicken and Green Pepper.—The
chicken should be prepared for this as
for salad, boiling until tender and al-
lowing the fowl to cool in its own
liquor. The sandwiches are daintier
when only the breast is used, though
the dark meat can be added if desired.
Strip the chicken, rejecting all skin
and gristle, and chop the meat fine.
Season with salt and cayenne pepper.
Mix generously with mayonnaise dress-
ing and spread upon the bread;
sprinkle with finely minced sweet
green peppers. This makes a most ap-
petizing sandwich.
Egg and Sardine.—Rub the yellow
of six hard boiled eggs to a smooth
paste, add enough highly seasoned
mayonnaise to make a thick, easily
spread mixture. Drain the oil from
three or four good French sardines; cut
off the heads and lay them open, re-
move the bones and scrape the skin
Rub to a paste and add to the egg and
mayonnaise, mixing thoroughly.
Spread on thin slices of bread.
Tomato Sandwiches—These are
very simple, and consist of firm, solid,
thinly sliced, well salted tomatoes, laid
between slices of lightly buttered
bread. I know of no saadwieb more
dainty or delicious. Do not be misled
into thinking that mayonnaise will im-
prove them. In this class of sand-
wiches belong the cucumber, either
thinly sliced and dipped into French
dressing or chopped and mixed with
mayonnaise. I prefer the latter myself,
but both are good.
OatmeaL Macaroons.—One cup of
white sugar, two large breakfast cups
of rolled oats, two eggs, one table-
spoonful of butter, one teaspoonful of
baking powder, one teaspoonful of al-
mond extract and a half teaspoonful
of salt. Beat the eggs well, add the
other Ingredients and beat the batter
thoroughly. Drop pieces the size of a
walnut on well buttered tins, about
two Inches apart. Bake in a quick
oven and leave on the tins a few min-
utes before removing.
Marguerites.—To the white of a
well beaten egg add enough powdered
sugar to form a thin icing. Make the
mixture thick with chopped pecans.
Spread on fresh thin soda crackers
ind brown in a quick oven.
KAMSCHATKANS USE THE INNER
BARK OF PINE TREES.
Macerate It in Water and Bake Good,
Wholesome Bread—The Pine
Keeps the Blood Pure and
The Body Healthy.
In Kamschatka the people live in
earth-covered pits. Mr. Kennan com-
pares the sound of their language to
that of water running out of a narrow-
mouth jug. Their bread is made from
the inner bark of the Pine Tree, mace-
rated in water and baked without flour.
They are a hardy race, the Pine keep-
ing the blood pure and the various or-
gans of the body in a healthy condi-
tion. Consumption is unknown among
them.
A noted specialist in throat and lung
trouble, who established a camp for
consumptives in the Pine Woods of
Maine, and whose remarkable cures
there have attracted great attention
from the medical world, says that one-
half ounce of the Pure Virgin Oil of
Pine, mixed with two ounces of Gly-
cerine and one-half pint of good Whis-
ky and used in teaspoonful doses, will
heal and strengthen the lungs, break
up a cold in twenty-four hours, and
cure any cough that is curable. The
ingredients can be secured from any
prescription druggist at small cost.
Inquiry at the prescription depart-
ment of a leading local druggist elicit-
ed the information that the Pure Vir-
gin Oil of Pine is put up only In half-
ounce vials for dispensing. Each vial
Is securely sealed In a round wooden
case, with engraved wrapper, showing
the name—Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure)

act, June 30, 1906. Prepared only by
the Leach Chemical Co., Cincinnati, O.
—plainly printed thereon. There are
many rank imitations of Virgin Oil
of Pine (Pure), which are being put
out under various names, such as Con-
centrated Oil of Pine, Pine Balsam,
etc. Never accept these as a substi-
tute for the Pure Virgin Oil of Pine, as
they will Invariably produce nausea
and never effect the desired results.
A Mortifying Answer.
Richard, aged seven years, in com-
pany with his parents, was visiting a
friend. At the dinner table he was
asked to have some cake. He hesi-
tated.
"Say, quickly, Richard! Will you
have some cake?" said his mother.
Imagine her chagrin when Richard
replied: "If It's the kind we have at
home, I don't want any."
The revelations regarding fraudu-
lent paint materials which have been
made by the Agricultural Experiment
Station of Fargo, N. D., and published
by Prof. E. F. Ladd, state commis-
sioner, have occasioned almost as
much of a sensation as the exposure
of adulteration in food products did
when the latter first began to appear.
It has been shown that kegs marked
Pure White Lead" often contain other
substances such as chalk, barytes,
silica, etc., and that oil supposed to
be linseed often contains petroleum
adulterants, to say nothing of water
in large proportions. Sometimes, so-
called "White Leads" contain not an
iota of genuine White Lead.
The farn*r is a large user of paint.
No one is more interested than he is,
that the label should enable him to
get what he supposes he Is paying for.
There should be a law In every state
requiring that all paint packages be
labeled exactly according to their con-
tents. That would enable every paint-
buyer to buy. intelligently.
It's a never-failing sign that a girl
is in love with a young man when she
begins to want to read the letters he
receives from other girls.
"The Armless Man"
Said, "It wasn't money he wanted, but
somebody to scratch his back." There
are many with strong arms and will-
ing hands that have that same yearn-
ing. Hunt's Cure will make back
scratching, or any other old scratching
totally unnecessary. It knocks out
any itching sensation that ever hap-
pened, and its does it right now. One
application relieves.
Decision of character will often give
to an unfair mind command over a
superior.—W. Wirt.

Cure by Cuticura.
"My baby was about nine months
old when she had rash on her face
and feet. Her feet seemed to irritate
her most, especially nights. They
would cause her to be broken in her
rest, and sometimes she w^ald cry
until she was tired out. I ha l always
used Cuticura Soap myself, and had
heard of so many cures by the Cuti-
cura Remedies that I thought I would
give them a trial. The improvement
was noticcable in a few hours, and
before I had used one box of the Cu-
ticura Ointment her feet were well
and have never troubled her since. I
also used it to remove what is known
as "cradle cap£ from her he&d, and
it worked like a charm, as it
cleansed and healed the scalp at the
same time. Now I keep Cuticura
Ointment on hand in case of any
little rash or Insect bites, as it takes
out tho inflammation at once. Per-
haps this may be the means of help-
ing other suffering babies. Mrs. Ilat-
tie Currier, Thomaston, Me., June 9
