DESSERT NEEDS STUDY I
IMPORTANT AT EITHER FORMAL !
OR FAMILY DINNER.
Must of Necessity Be Attractive In
Appearance to Be Thoroughly En¬
joyed, and Its Food Value Is
Also to Be Considered.
It is considered bad taste when
dining to show the least concern In
regard to the courses following the
one being served, yet a few people
show courage enough sometimes to
ask what the dessert may be. One
college girl used to ask the maid to
tell her whenever mince pie was to
be served.
This girl understood the food value
of that piece of mince pie and she
knew if she wished to partake of it
she must curtail the courses preced¬
ing. An ordinary piece of mince pie
is equal in food value to a piece of
roast beef, a medium-sized potato and
a slice of bread, with a liberal amount
of butter.
There are two extremes: Desserts
far too heavy unless their real food
value is anown and the rest of the
meal is planned accordingly, and des¬
serts too light to satisfy the hunger
unless a sufficient supply of other
things be eaten. What place, then,
have desserts in the diet? Do they
serve a purpose or are they simply
waste efforts?
Perhaps there is no portion of the
meai which requires more time, more
thought in planning aud more care in
preparation than the dessert. An
ideal dessert must bo well flavored
and attractive in appearance if It Is
to be above criticism. The appetite
is to some extent appeased and hence
appearance and flavor are means of
"tickling the palate.” A piece of
meat may be practically ruined in
cooking and yet be eaten—with dis¬
appointment, perhaps; but a poorly
prepared dessert will be left un¬
touched. A dessert failing in its es¬
sential quality, its appeal to the ap- |
petite, can be considered a waste of
effort always.
The one essential which makes a
dessert a product well worth the
time, care, thought and actual cost,
or makes it simply a waste effort
from every standpoint, is the knowl¬
edge of its true food value, then
making it serve its purpose in that
respect.
A housekeeper should have a little
table of desserts carefully classified
for constant reference or WTitten out
In tabular form, arranging her stock
of successful desserts into three
classes, perhaps, as heavy, medium
and light. Then she should consider
whether the dinner she is planning is
high in food value or low and supply
the kind of dessert that will make a
well-balanced meal. The following
table will illustrate such a classifica¬
tion:
Heavy Desserts—Pies, rakes and
cookies, suet puddings, rich short¬
cakes, rich ice cream preserves.
Medium Desserts—Custards and
soufflues, rice, cornstarch, sago, tapi¬
oca pudding.
Light Desserts—Speedy and stewed
fruits, plain gelatine jelly, junkets.
Cucumber-Tomato Relish.
Take one large ripe cucumber, peel
and slice. Place in an enamel kettle
with a tablespoonful of salt, cover
with hot water and boil until tender.
Then take three large ripe tomatoes
and remove their skins. After drain
‘jcut fPing the water from the cucumbers,
tomatoes up and put in with the
cucumbers. Add one cup of vinegar
and a small cup of sugar, boil until
the tomatoes are done; If not salt
enough, add a little, also a few whole
cloves and allspice. Mix a dessert¬
spoonful of potato flour with some
cold vinegar and stir into the mix¬
ture after coming to a good boiling
point. Can hot- This makes a little
over a pint jar full.
Jellied Salmon Salad.
Take a pint of canned salmon,
drain and remove the skin and bones.
Mince fine, add a tablespoon of lemon
juice, a dash of red pepper, a teaspoon
of minced parsley and salt to taste.
Mix together and bind with your favor¬
ite salad dressing and a tablespoon of
powdered gelatine dissolved in a quar¬
ter of a cupful of water. Fill small
molds and set them on ice to chill
quickly. Turn out on crisp lettuce
leaves. Garnish with olives and serve
with mayonnaise or cucumber sauce.

ELDER’S STRICT AS TO DUTY
Observance of the Sabbath Most Rigid¬
ly Enforced in Scotland in the
Sixteenth Century.
The sixteenth century practice of the
elders in Scotland of going the rounds
to pick up offenders against Sunday
rules survived until the eighteenth
century. Mr. Thoman, in his "Weavers’
Craft,” gives - details of the “bag;”
’’The minister himself would make the
rounds to spy with his own eyes the
sins of the absentees. Here one man
is found romping with liis bairns; an¬
other detected kissing his wife; two
men were found drinking ale, and one
was found with his coat off, as if he
were going to work; and still another
was seen eating a hearty dinner. All
were pulled up before the session of
the kirk and 'repentances’ enforced
upon each.” And now one can under¬
stand- the wherefore of the drawn
blind on the Sabbath, which struck
James Payn as astonishing in the Ed¬
inburgh of the sixties.
FACE FULL OF PIMPLES
Ruffin, N. C.—“My face became full
of pimples and blackheads, and
would Itch, burn and smart. The skin
was rough and red. I was really
ashamed of my face. My arms and
back were affected almost as badly.
The pimples would fester and there
would come a dry scab on top. The
trouble caused my face to be disfig¬
ured badly and the Itching w-ould both¬
er me so I could not sleep well nights,
especially during warm weather.
“The trouble lasted me three long
years without anything doing me any
good until a friend told mo about Cuti
cura Soap and Ointment and then I
decided to try them. After the first
application I could see somo improve¬
ment. After using Cuticura Soap and
Ointment two weeks I did not look
like the same person; most of the
pimples had disappeared. At the end
of four weeks I was completely
cured.” (Signed) Miss Mamie Mitch¬
ell, Jan. 9, 1913.

Needed Supply of Oatmeal.
It Is the nature of an Irishman to
give a spice of whimsical humor to
commonplace Incidents of observation.
Pat was crossing a broad, shallow
stream, carrying a bag of oatmeal up¬
on his back. Mike watched him from
the bank. Now, a hole had broken in
the bottom of the hag, and as Pat
moved the oatmeal trickled down in
a thin rivulet into the water.
"Pat,” shouted Mike from the bank,
"I’m thinking if the oatmeal isn’t
plenty with you, you’ll have thin por¬
ridge.”

PUBLIC SHARING THE BURDEN
Institutional Care of Consumptives
Has Been Largely Shifted From
Private Purses.
Out of nearly $20,000,000 spent last
year In the treatment and prevention
of tuberculosis in the United States,
69.3 per cent, of the money was de¬
rived from public funds, either fed¬
eral, state, county or municipal. These
are some of the interesting figures giv¬
en in the annual statistical statement
of the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis
The statement is based largely on ac
tual reports received from anti-tuber
culosis agencies throughout the coun
try, but where reports were not avail
able the figures have been estimated
Treatment of tuberculous patients in
the more than 500 sanatoria and hos¬
pitals of the country and the construc¬
tion of such institutions cost over $18,
000,000 of the total expenditure. Care
I ! of patients in dispensaries and open
air schools cost about $825,000. Antl
: tuberculosis associations and eommit-
1 tees spent nearly $675,000 in further
! ing their work of organization and edu
j cation, while state and local boards of
1 ! health and special tuberculosis com
missions spent over $250,000.
More than $13,800,000 or 69.3 per
cent, of the total expenditures came
from public funds. The National as
sociation points to this growing in
crease in (he spending of public monej
fbr tuberculosis as one of the most Big
nificant, facts in the report, as it indi
cates the shifting of the burden of in¬
stitutional care of consumptives from
the private purse to the general pub¬
lic. purse, where it rightly belongs.
Since 1909 the percentage of public
money spent in-tuberculosis work has
Increased from 53.5 to nearly 70 per

GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA
TO DARKEN HER GRAY HAIR
She Made Up a Mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur to Bring Back Color,
Gloss, Thickness.
Almost everyone knows that Sago
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound¬
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; ulso ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome. Nowadays,
by asking at any store for "Wyeth's
Sage and Suiphtyv. Hair Remody,” you
will get a large bottle of this famous
old recipe for about 50 cents.
Don’t stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking ono small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap¬
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy. Adv.
Serum Cuts Down Mortality.
In Paris from 1880 to 1893, before
the discovery of the anti-diphtheria
serum, diphtheria killed an average
of 1,721 persons a year, 2,241 deaths
in 1882 and 1,266 in 1890 being the
maximum. After Roux discovered
his serum, Hie average of deaths
dropped to 348, with a maximum of
736 in 1901 and a minimum of 174
in 1906. Thus, thanks to serotherapy,
there is now only one death Instead of
five, and in some years ono instead of
seven, or a mortality of six per 100,
000 inhabitants.
In 1895, soon after the serum came
Into use in Paris, the mortality fell
to 9.7 per 100,000, while in London it
was 55.6; in Berlin, 60.1, and in St.
Petersburg, 89.9.
