feet next to the line and three feet

Cream of Celery 8oup.
Wash a bunch of celery and cut
Into Inch lengths. If you wish you
may use for this the outer stalks of
a large bunch of celery, keeping the
white, crisp pleceB for use on the ta-
ble, uncooked. Cook the celery slow-
ly in enough boiling salted water to
cover It for three-quarters of an hour,
or until It is tender; rub it through
a colander. Have ready a quart of
milk, heated and thickened, and pro-
ceed as directed for cream of spin-
ach soup.
Mock Bisque Soup.
Mix to a smooth paste one table-
spon of flour with two heaping table-
spoons of butter, add one quart of
boiling milk, a little at a time to pre-
vent lumping. Stew one can of toma-
toes until they .can be strained easily
and, if very acid, use one-half teaspoon
of soda; pour Into the thickened milk,
seasoning with salt and pepper and
serve very hot.
Honey Sandwiches.
Sweet clover honey blended with
dairy butter makes a delicious sand-
wich spread between slices of white
or brown bread. Mixed with minced
raisins and nuts and ue?d In the same
way, the sandwiches are also fine.
Coat of Varnish.
A coat of white varnish applied to
straw-matting suitcases and shopping-
bags much improves their looks and
usefulness. The varnish causes them
to shed water and makes them water-
proof.
Cream of 8plnach Soup.
Wash two quarts of aplnach thor-
oughly, putting it in the Inner vessel
of a double boiler with a little pinch
of soda and no water except that
which adheres to the leaves after
washing. Cover closely and cook until
tender. When soft rub the spinach
through a colander, cook together a
tablespoonful each of flour and butter
In a saucepan until they bubble, pour
on them a quart of milk, stir until
smooth, add the spinach, salt and pep-
n„ : to taste and serve.
DO YOUR DRINKING AT MEAL-
TIME.
The time to drink water is at meal-
time, rather than between meals.
Drinking between periods of digestion
Interferes with the stomach’s natural
rest. This very Important principle la
also overlooked and violated when we
eat candles and fruits between meals.
Water is not believed to call Into
operation the activities of the diges-
tive glands In the same way that all
other liquids as well as solids do, but
the disposal of water does undoubted*
ly excite the muscular movements of
the stomach.
We need much water. Large
amounts are being constantly given
off by evaporation from the skin, ex-
halation by the lungs, and excretion
through the various organs. But we
also take In great quantities of water
In ways we never think of. Bread,
for Instance, contains moisture In the
proportion of about 89 per cent, for
the Vienna or French type, and 35 per
cent. In homemade bread. In cooked
meats the percentage of water ranges
from 40 to 50, while In many vegeta-
bles and most fruits the water con-
tent Is from 90 to 95 per cent.
Still, we need more, and the desire
to drink while eating la a physiologi-
cal as well as natural one. About
the only restriction Is that we must
not make a sluice-box of our mouths,
and use water as a conveyor to carry
on food which we have not taken time
to masticate. There Is practically no
danger of our drinking enough at
meal-time to "dilute the gastric Juice,”
as has sometimes been declared.

See Riches in Swamps.
The Russian department of agricul-
ture has founded at the Riga Poly-
technic a school for specialists In
swamp cultivation. The North Pe-
chora expedition worked many years
with great success in the desert-
ed Region of the northern syamps, and
proved that the swamps of the Arch-
angel province are full of wealth, and
that millions of peasants, devoured
by poverty and hunger in their native
places, can find food and shelter in
the swampy regions after their culti-
vation. With small expense the
swamps can be turned into land cov-
ered with rich grass.

BURN BUILDING TO KILL GERM
Only Way to Get Rid of Them, and
Occasion Was Made a Good
Object Lesson.
A ramshackle building in Winston-
Salem was recently burned at the re-
quest of the local Antl-Tuborculosis
league, because it was said to be alive
with tuberculosis germs and could not
be properly fumigated.
For days before the building was
burned huge placards announcing the
hour of destruction and giving rea-
sons for the burning were hung about
in prominent places. Among other
things the placards said: “Within the
past 15 months two men who sold
fruit, etc., here have died of tuber-
culosis, but unconsciously left millions
to tuberculosis germs by careless
spitting. The building is so open that
it cannot be effectively fumigated.
The only practical means of disin-
fecting is by fire.”
At the appointed hour, while mil-
lions of tuberculosis germs were be-
ing burned, 5,000 pamphlets telling
how to prevent consumption were dls-
rqve
tributed to The crowd looking on.
"Evil Eye" Based on Fact.
Most people have heard of the “Evil
Eye,” and now we are informed by
Charles L. Smith, a noted New York
refractlonist, that the superstition
arose because everyone, without know-
ing it, has one eye that is different in
power and activity from the other. He
designates it the “dominant eye,” and
according to whether it is the left
or the right children will grow up left-
handed or right-handed. It is sheer
cruelty, and may entail life-long mis-
ery, to force a child to become am-
bidextrous. Such a course may result
in wrecking the nervous system, and
can only be cured by a reversal of the
process so that the “dominant eye”
may regain natural and undisputed
sway. Men who are ambidextrous had
better keep a strict guard over their
actions lest they should be credited
with the “evil eye.”
If a Woman Had Done It.
Trust ’.he suffragettes to make capi-
tal out of the merest indiscretion of
mere man! The following is an ex-
ample, taken from one of their publi-
cations, the Newsletter, for January:
“A lovely little press item floating
up from Chatham Courthouse, Va.,
made the editor laugh and laugh. It
said that a Juror sneaked out of the
Jury room while the rest of the Jurors
were asleep, and went and milked his
cow. He laid out to get back before
the others waked up, but somebody
saw him and told on him, and the
trial had to begin all over. If a wom-
an Juror should do that out in Wash-
ington or Idaho, wouldn’t it be a
proof of the incapacity of the sex for
the duties of citizenship?”
Superstitious Waiter.
A man dining at a cafe observed
that though he had ordered one dozen
oysters, he was served with only
eleven. The next evening the same
thing occurred again. Then the din-
er became somewhat irritated.
“Why,” he demanded of the waiter,
“do you serve me only eleven oysters
when I order a dozen?”
The waiter boweri apologetically.
“I didn’t think you’d wanting to be
sitting thirteen at table, sir.”
A woman wants protection, but fa-
vors free speech.
Fishes Survived Drought.
A curious drought survival by Ashes
is reported from France. The ditch
or moat of Monaco, completely dried
up last summer, although usually a
canal three miles long and fifty feet
wide, with five feet of water. All carp,
tench, perch and pike disappeared,
leaving dry mud. A recent sudden
rainfall however supplied a little wa-
ter, and the fishes were actually seen
rising—as lively as ever—from the
mud in which they had burled them-
selves.
Much Better Purpose.
Miss Charmynge—Don’t you think I
was made for a business woman?
Jack Hustler—No, I don’t. I think
you were meant for a business man.—

Rheumatic Pains
quickly relieved
Sloan's Liniment is good for pain of
any sort. It penetrates, without rubbing,
through the muscular tissue right to the
bone—relieves the congestion and gives
permanent as well as temporary relief.
Here’s Proof.
A. W. Lay of Lafayette, Ala., writes:—
“ r had rheumatism for five years. I tried
doctors and several different remedies but
they did not help me. I obtained a bottle
of Sloaif s Liniment which did me so much
good that I would not do without it
for anything.”
Thomas L. Rice of Easton, Pa.,
writes: “I have used Sloan's Lini-
ment and find it first-class for rheu-
matic pains.”
Mr. G.G. Jonf.s of Baldwins, L.I.,
writes:—“I have found Sloan’s Lin-
iment par excellence. I have used it for broken sinews above the knee
cap caused by a fall, and to my great satisfaction I Was able to resume
my duties in less than three weeks riftei the accident.”
SLOANS
LINIMENT
