I An Omelet, but *. •:
It Was Not Up

(©, mij. Western Newspaper Union.)
mTJERE! What do you mean b;
bringing me this stuff when i
asked for an omelet Tartarin?” I in
qulred of the waiter who served me U
the Cafe Napoleon.
The waiter shrugged his shoulders
“Helas, monsieur, we cannot providt
the original omelet Tartarin anx
more,” he said. “Only Monsieur A1
phonse, the chef, knew how to mak<
lieem, and he la gone to America. Ht
works now in the Hotel St. Charles.’
The waiter glanced toward the dark
eyed Mademoiselle Dubois, ht the cash
counter.
- You see, monsieur," he explained,
“there was a quarrel between Mon¬
sieur Napoleon, the proprietor, and
Monsieur Alphonse, the chef, over
Mademoiselle Dubois, of the cash
counter. Each wanted to marry her.
Eh blen! Monsieur Alphonse was re¬
jected, «nd he went to America. And
Monsieur Napoleon—’’
“Married her?" I asked.
“Mals, oul, monsieur. Mademoiselle
Dubois is now Madame Napoleon. Only
this la a secret, understand, becaust
It would spoil business If it were
known.”
I spoke to stout tittle Monsieur Na¬
poleon about the matter. I did not re¬
veal to him my knowledge of the se'
cret, however, though I saw the pretty
cashier look suspiciously at me.
44 Monsieur,’’ said the proprietor,
“verily, - since Monsieur Alphonse left
me my custom has fallen off sadly. He
was the inventor of the famous ome¬
let Tartarin. Now, alas, the omelet
Tartarin is dead. *»
Suddenly he caught me by the lapels
of my coat, and stood holding me thus.
“Monsieur,” he said, “will you not be
an ambassador of peace for me? Mon¬
sieur, you are of New York. You
know the Hotel St. Charles. When
Vou return, will you not go to the ac¬
cursed one and beg him to return?
14 And tell him we shall all be good
fHends again,” continued Madame Na¬
poleon, or, rather, Mudemoiselle Du¬
bois. as she must be known.
The first evening I had to spare
after my arrival In New York I went
to the St. Charles and ordered an ome¬
let Tartarin.
_______
“Is not Monsieur Alphonse your
chef?” I inquired of the head waiter.
Yes, sir,” he answered. “Fine chef,
too, he’s supposed to be. He’s got a
gold medal from the late king Of Bel¬
gium for his omelet Tartarin. Didn’t
yon find it distinguished, sir?”
“No!” I shouted. ‘Tve eaten bad
omelets in most countries qf the world,
but for sheer unsavoriness I’ve never
tasted one as bad as the one I’ve had
here tonight. Bring your chef to me
at once.”
The waiter looked as if he was going
to burst into tears, but he summoned
the chef.
“What’s this about my omelet?” he
began truculently.
“Monsieur Alphonse,” I said, “you
are a fake and a fraud. Either you
are not the original Monsieur Al¬
phonse, or else you have lost your
mind. Come, out with ypur confession.
What’s the‘matter?”
“Sucre, monsieur, do you asperse my
omelet?” he began.
“Your omelet is as degenerate as
yourself,” I answered. Now, listen.
Alphonse! Monsieur Napoleon wants
you to return. He is pining for you?”
“Ah, mon Dleu, the scoundrel stole
my sweetheart,” said the chef. “Since
then I have vowed never, never to
cook the correct omelet Tartarin—7”
"Alphonse,” I answered, “you are n
married man!”
“Monsier 1" he gasped. “How do yon
know?" ,
“By the furtive look In your eye,” 1
answered.
■ Monsieur, I am married three
months," he answered. “I adore, T
worship—’’
“Never mind that! How about Ma¬
demoiselle Dubois, now Madame Na¬
poleon?"
Monsieur, a passing Infatuation
truly. I never cared for her. It wa:
merely that—■”
"Alphonse,” I said, “there Is some
mystery about that omelet Tartarin—”
“Monsieur, I will confess,” he blurt
ed out. “It was not I who made It.
It was Mademoiselle Dubois. ■
44 What!” I exclaimed.
"Truly, monsieur. And I had to pre¬
tend to love her, that she should not
betray me and lose me my position
But one day Monsieur Napoleon, who
was already Jealous, ordered her from
the kitchen. Then I saw thnjt discov¬
ery was imminent. I fled to America.
I can never go back. But tell him the
truth, monsieur; tell him that he has
married the real creator bf the ome
let Tartarin. In his delight he will
forgive the double deception. And
now I must go home, for I was mar¬
ried three months ago—’’
‘You may go, Alphonse,” I answered
sadly. For human nature Is very frail
and the thought of the black-eyed ma¬
demoiselle’s deception overcame me.
However, I brought her to the con
fession point when I was last In Paris.
The Cafe Napoleon has recovered
Its pristine splendor. The oraelei
Tartarin secret seems likely to be¬
come hereditary. Alphonse cooks ex¬
cellent planked steaks at the Hotel St.
Charles.

WILL FURNISH PLANS
FOR SANITARY CLOSETS
The State Board of Health will be .
glad to furnish you with complete
plans and specifications for sanitary ]
prlvies. Every home and public build¬

closet. The Board also furnishes the
Typhoid vaccine free of charge. It is
not possible to say how long vaccina¬
tion protects one, but it Is thought for
aboit three years. Vaccination for the
prevention of this disease does not
make a sore and gives very little dis¬
comfort If properly administered. It
is a little better to take the injection
late In the afternoon, so if any reac¬
tion should result It will occur while
you are asleep and give you less dis¬
comfort. Even if you do react to the
vaccination, It is not to be considered
as against the long illness of an at¬
tack of the fever. Get vaccinated to¬
day. See that all your friends are
vaccinated, especially those between
7 and 40 years. It might be tab late
to wait for the disease to develop In
your family or neighborhood.
ADVICE ANENT
SNAKE BITES
The season of the year for snake
bites and the consequent hysterical
excitement la here. We have only a
few snakes that are poisonous, the rat¬
tle and the moccasin being the princi¬
pal ones. The ordinary snake, should
It bite, would be no more dangerous
than the bite of a rat, dog, cat or any
domestic animal. Many people suffer
more from treatment given for snake
bite than they would if nothing had
been done at all. If bitten by a poi¬
sonous snake, no time should be lost.
Cord above, Incise the wound, suck
out the blood, but send quickly for a
physician. The poison enters the sys
tem as quickly as hypodermic injec
tlon. Not a moment should be lost.
CONSULTANT NOW READY

Miss Simpson has been giving her lec¬

groups of girls and women, She is
still in the State and could visit com

Standard Treatment for Malaria.
The treatment recommended by the
State Health Department for malaria
Is as follows:
Heavy doses of quinine taken dally
for a few days or a week or two only,
will nearly always stop chills and
fever (malaria), but the fever wil!
usually come back In a few days or
a few weeks or months. .This Is be
cause the quinine kills most of the
little animal parasites In the blood
that cause malaria, but when given for
a short time or In small doses does
not kill certain forms that are more
difficult to destroy, and these In time
cause the fever to return.
Have your doctor prescribe the
proper dose of quinine and take even'
day for 8 weeks; all these little
animals will be kll’ed in the vast ma
Jority of cases and the chills and fever
will not return.
It is true that newly Infected mo?
qultoes may reinfect you, but most of
the malaria cases are recurrences of
uncured cases, and If you take the s
weeks treatment you stand a good
chance to stay free from the disease
You should use grid screens or mo?
qulto bars; fbr th.s mosquito (the
anopheles), bites you only when yor
are quiet at night.
This treatment Is not Intended tr
take the place of your doctor. Haw
* doctor always when you are sick.
Every child should have plenty o’
two things—sleep and mtlk.
Vaccinate against such diseases &
’-accines are prepared for.
Health habits are better than B
-acco and whisky hpblts.

FARM VOTE TO
GET ATTENTION
OF DEMOCRATS
By Associated Press
Washington, Aug. 1.—Democrats
stlU .... lntend ...... to focus , lar art of
a * e P
their campaign on the farmers, de
spite the recent rise in grain prices,
which republicans are claiming will
calm the ruffled feelings of the west¬
ern and northwestern agricultural
states.
Democratic leaders take the posi
tion that the recent improvements
will not he sufficient to make the
farmers forget conditions in the last
three yea-a, and contend further that
the value of the advance in grain
prices to the farmer has been over
rated. With this message, they say
they will hit the line as hard as they 1
had planned before the agricultural
situation perked up.
Walsh Outlines Position
This position was outlined here
Thursday by two leading Democrats,
Senator Walsh, of Montana, perma¬
nent chairman of the Democratic con¬
vention, who will make the speech of
notification at Clarksburg, and Carl
Vroman, former assistant secretary
of agriculture.
Declaring that the farmers would
not forget the depression of the last
few years, Walsh pointed out that
even if present advance continued
and the farmer benefitted, they will*
have to use any profit they make to
wipe out debts incurred long since,
»nd that there would be little immedi¬
ate prosperity for them.
Four Major Issues
Walsh, outlining campaign issues,
emphasized this point also, stating
that one of the four major isues
would be better co-operation with Eu¬
rope, sought for the aid Democrats
claim it will bring to the farmer.
The other issues in campaign,
Walsh said, will be:
1. Clean government.
2. The tariff.
3. Tax reduction.
