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 known 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 i
waste efforts?
Perhaps there fs no portion of the
meal which requires more time, more
thought in planning and rilore care in
preparation than the dessert. An
ideal dessert must be 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 w’hich 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
tabla of desserts carefully classified
for constant reference or written 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 I
the kind of dessert that will make a ;
well-balanced meal. The following I
table will illustrate such a classifies- ■
tlon:
Heavy Desserts —Pies, cakes and
cookies, suet puddings, rich short
cakes, rich ice cream preserves.
Medium Desserts —Custards and ’
sou f flues, 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
£lng the water from the cucumbers,
" icut tomatoes up and put in with the I
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 1
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 sauge.

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;" |
"Them; In is ter himself would make the ;
rounds to spy with his own eyes the
sins of the absentees. Here one man
is found romping with his bairns; an
other detected kissing his wife; two
men were found drinking ale, and one
was found with his coat off, as if 4ie
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

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
i would come a dry scab on top. The
! trouble caused my face to be disfig
! ured badly and the itching would 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 me about Cuti
cura Soap and Ointment and then I
decided to try them. After the first
application I could see some 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

PUBLIC SHARING THE BURDEN I
i
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 $lB,-
000,000 of the total expenditure. Care
| of patients tn dispensaries'and open-
I air schools cost about $825,000. Anti
! tuberculosis associations and commit
i tees spent nearly $675,000 in further
■ ing their work of organization and edu
i cation, while state and local boards of
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 the spending of public money
for tuberculosis as one of the most sig
nificant facts iu 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; also 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 Sulphur Hair Remedy,” you
will get a large bottle of this famous
i 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
1 through your hair, taking ono small
i strand at a time: by morning the gray
I hair disappears, and after another ap
j 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, 2,244 deaths
in 1882 and 1,266 in 1890 being the
maximum. After Roux discovered
his serum, the 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
live, and in some years one 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
I to 9.7 per 100,000, while in London it
was 55.6; in Berlin, 60.1, and in St.
Petersburg, 89.9.

Praise Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound
Women from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from all sections
of this great country, no city so large, no village so small
but that some woman has written words of thanks for
health restored by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound. No woman who is suffering from the ills peculiar
to her sex should rest until she has given this famous remedy
a trial. Is it not reasonable to believe that what it did for
these women it will do for any sick woman ?
Wonderful Case of Mrs. Stephenson,
on the Pacific Coast.
Independence, Oregon.—“l was sick with what four doctors
called Nervous Prostration, was treated by them for several years,
would be better for a while then back in the old way again. I had
palpitation of the heart very bad, fainting spells, and was so nervous
that a spoon dropping to the floor would nearly kill me, could not
lift the lightest weight without making me sick; in fact was about as
sick and miserable as a person could be. I saw your medicines ad
vertised and thought I would try them, and am so thankful I did for
they helped me at once. I took about a dozen bottles of Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and also used the Sanative Wash.
Since then I have used them whenever 1 felt sick. Your remedies
are the only doctor I employ. You are at liberty to publish this let
ter.”—Mrs. W. Stephenson, Independence, Oregon.
A Grateful Atlantic Coast Woman.
llododon, Me.—“l feel it a duty I owe to all suffering women to
tell what Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound did for me. One
year ago I found myself a terrible sufferer. I had pains in both sides
and such a soreness I could scarcely straighten up at times. My
back ached. I had no appetite and was so nervous I could not sleep,
then I would be so tired mornings that I could scarcely get around.
It seemed almost impossible to move or do a bit of work and I
thought I never would bo any better until I submitted to an opera
tion. I commenced taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound
and soon felt like a new woman. I had no pains, slept well, had good
appetite and was fat and could do almost all my own work for a fam
ily of four. I shall always feel that I owe my good health to your
medicine.”—Mrs. Hayward Sowers, Ilodgdon, Maine.
For 30 years Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable (
Compound has been the standard remedyfor fe
male ills. No one sick with woman’s ailments /
does justice to herself if she does not try this fa- '
mous medicine made from roots and herbs, it
has restored so many sufferingwomcn to health.
