Nature's Remedies in the Form of Vegetables Here Pretty Young Matron On Eastern Trip With soring in the air and reflecting its influence in the blood, people need to 'regulate their diet in order to avoid the spring ailmentsio which t man is heir. Fresh ruhbarb and spinach are excellent for thinning the :lood and they are plentiful and :hcap in the local markets already. Dried fruits which we have had all winter are still extremely plentiful and are especially recommended by physicians as a natural spritg tonic. They contain certain acids which tone jp the stomach in nature's own way. Besides this, they are economical. Prunes cost from 12 to 20 cents a pound, dried pears 20Xsnts, dried ap ples, 15 cents, dried peaches 15 to 20 cents, silr prunes 20 cents, apricots 25 cents, radishes 12 to 25 cents, figs and dates 35 cents. Grape fruit is a bargain nowa days, selling as low as 5 cents each for the smaller sizes and large ones costing only 10 and 12 cents each. Potatoes hold to their remarkably low prices, which aren't much higK er than they were before the war. New string beans from the south ern gardens cost only 20 and 25 cents a pound. Cucumbers at 25 cents each are somewhat of a luxury so early in the season, though they are. large ones. Strawberries have become almost a commonplace on the local markets. selling at 15 to 20 cents a "pint box. To Make Your Job Pay, Learn Bow To Talk-But Not Too Much By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. "Just what do you mean by that last statement, sir?" Jones stopped and looked in amaze ment at the customer he was trying to interest in his course on "Sales manship." He ha been halted in the very midst of his sales-talk, the talk he had learned so thoroughly that he could recite it fluently and with ora torical impressiveness even while he was thinking about his coal bill or his need of a new spring suit. "What do I mean?" asked Jones. "Why, what I said, of course. It is simple, in fact it is quite plain. All life is a game of selling, and the ratio of selling your goods to your "prospect directly as your ability to sell your own personality plus the merit of your goods." "That is what you said before. What do you mean by it?" persisted the custom t. Agaiti'-Jones assured him that it was, all quite simple and that he meant exactly what he said. And Jones does not suspect that he failed to make a sale because he had never learned how to talk. Not a Recital. Talking is not a matter of reciting glibly a series of interesting state ments. Talking is a' matter of pre senting your statements so they will ippeal to the person to whom you are directing them. When a man asks you to explain ind you assure him it is all quite simple, you are inferring that he is not wise enough to comprehend a plain statement of fact. And you are antagonizing by your words in stead of making friends through them. Almost all businesses indeed" a matter of selling. And the most potent selling force we have is our ability to talk a customer into buy ing. That means talk just enough to sell him not enough to bore him! That means talk enough to awaken his interest in your proposition and not enough to overstate it and make him feel that nothing could be as wonderful as you claim your goods to be. Talk enough to rouse curiosity and provoke investigation not enough to let your prospect "go stale" Dn the thing. Hard Work. , Now, conversation be it business or social talk does not come by the grace of heaven! It results from hard work from delevoping the "gift of gab." . To talk well, you must first of all have a pleasant voice that does not rasp or irritate the person to whom it is addressed. Then you must have something in teresting to talk about and a real knowledge of the thing you wish to present. Furthermore, you must have words in which to dress your subject vividly' md vitally. A knowledge of grammar ind of that fluent and charming thing, language, is so completely essential that it seems strange everyone does not know how worth while acquiring is a mastery of English. And, finally, there is a knowledge and understanding of human nature. This means you must study the per son to whom you are going to talk and modify your conversation to suit his attitude and interests. Read Good Books. By reading good books, by listening to the conversation of your superiors, and by attending critically to your own talk you will find yourself grow ing in ability to express yourself. Never mind how difficult this task I have set you sounds. You cannot have a job half or even one-tenth as diffi cult as was that of Demosthenes, Nie great Athenian orator. Demosthenes stuttered, and yet he became an orator. He betook him self to the seaside. Then he put small pebbles in his mouth and with these to force him to speak slowly and care fully and to work over his enunciation, he talked against the roll and boom of the great waves. When he had learned to bring out his voice so sonorously that it drowned the sea and to speak with such painstaking precision that ne 'could manage his stammering tongue and the pebbles upon it, Demosthenes no longer stut tered! And his fames an orator has come down the centuries. Now, why should not you learn to talk!

The Colored Bean There is a margin for meat-saving, and often money-saving, by the use of colored beans, as against the stand ard white navy and marrowfat varie ties. Housewives have discriminated against colored beans in the past on the score of appearance. Dietetic tests show that colored beans are equal to white in food value, and in some cases are from 30 to 40 per cent ckf aper. The Mexican pinto beans, grown in Colorado, Arizona and New Mexipo, is a representative example of a color ed bean subject to price differential on appearance. It is named for its dappled coat, like that of the western "pinto" pony. Our chances for raising increased crops of beans for war food purposes are said to be better in the southwest, where the pinto bean is grown, than in thefwhite-bean grow ing sections of ,the north and east. Grocers can render real War service by stocking colored beans, giving the consumers the benefit of any differ ence in price.

It tastes exactly like the finest cream ery butter and is even more wholesome aVid pure. It is churned with fresh Pasteurized milk to give true butter flavor. Because of old laws, made before this discovery, we are compelled to label this nut-made butter as oleomargarine. But it contains no oleo oils no hog or beef fat. ' TROCO is simply vegetable fats, churned with milk for the butter tasje. Yet this appetizing combination costs no more than does the best grades of oleo-. margarine. Can't Be Told From Butter TROCO. has all the good qualities of fine . creamery butter. The only difference you will notice is the cost. It is as nutritious as cream butter, and as easily digested. It possesses the fuel value needed for energy. , TROCO when served has butter's golden t color, because we supply the same vegetable coloring used by all butter makers. Served pn your table, without explanation, no one can ell the difference. c Goes Farther In Cooking .TROCO, used in cooking, gives theteame re- suits as better,, except that it goes farther. Cooks should remember this and reduce the amount. It makes such cake, as has not been known since butter soared in price. It allows the old-fashioned "rich cooking" that builds up the family health. Your Dealer Can Supply TROCO If your dealer doesn't already keep TROCO ask him to get it for you. Tell him you must have this new-day successor to butter. i Insist until he secures a supply. For TROCO solves one of the biggest proC lems presented by our high food prices ; The problem of serving appetizing, wholesome butter at a moderate cost.
