2406 Copeland St., Cincinnati, Ohio.
"B'or ono year my right wrist and

The young man had threatened sul

she did, he didn't.
"Why didn't he?" was aBked.
"Said he'd give his heart to her."
"What's- that got to do with it?"
"Oh, he didn't have the heart to kill

Not That.

have nothing but opinions. Uulno.
There nrc Just two kinds of pcoplo, for
whom I have no uso
Tho one si Is still nnil listens, whllo
tho other heaps abuso.
THE 3CHOOL LUNCH PROBLEM.
As school opens there are thousands
of mothers who will bo troubled over
tho child's lunch,
so that n few ideas
and suggestions
will bo welcomed
Just now. Ono
likes tho lunch to
bo tempting ns
well as nourishing,
and it moans
thought and planning to accomplish
this so that they may not say, with
Dickens: "I live-on broken wittlcs."
Tho country child who trudges over
long country roads in tho pure, sweet
air, will need a heartier and moro sat
isfying food than the child who leaves
n steam-heated houBO and is sheltered
from nnture's wind and air.
Few know tho nutritive value of
nuts. A lunch basket should never bo
packed without a few of somo kind
dr other.
Baked apples, Jellies of various
kinds, and fruits nro always most
satisfactory lunch basket foods.
Home-Made Deviled Ham. Chop
very fine one pint of boiled ham, moro
fat than lean, six hard cooked eggs,
ono teaspoonful of mustard, the made
kind, season and press in a mold.
This will keep for weeks, and makes
lino filling for sandwiches.
Baked Bean Sandwiches. Mash cold
baked beans to a paste, season with
mustard, and finely chopped celery,
sprend between buttered brown bread.
Creamed Cookies. Cream a half
cupful of butter, add ono cupful of
sugar, one well beaten egg and a half
cupful of milk, three and a half cup
fuls of flour, ono teaspoonful of soda,
and two of cream of tartar, then fla
vor with lemon. Roll out and cut and
put tho following filling in between
two cookies before baking. Cook un
til thick, one cupful of raisins, Juice
and rind of a lemon, ono cupful of
sugar and a half cupful of water,
with two teaspoonfuls of corn starch.
Half of this will be sufficient for a
small rule of cookies.
I have told you of the Spaniard
who always put on his spectacles
when ho ate cherries, so they might
look more tempting. In like manner
you should look at your own bless
ings. Southey.
CHESTNUT TIME.
This wholesome, delicate-flavored
nut is not appreciated aB it should be.
There are any number of
delicious dishes to be
mado wholly of tho nut
or in combination with
other foods.
Chestnut Custard.
Blanch, boll until soft

ander a quantity of

spoonfuls of sugar, spread over and

served cherries.
Chestnut Sauce. After roasting a

FOR SPECIAL OCCA6ION3.
There are such numbers of dainty
toothsome sandwiches that ono need
never be at a Iobs
for u variety; but
often ono likes
something n littlo
out of tho ordinary
and hero nro n
few:
Cheese and Pep

EMU
Mash a small cream cheeso, sea
son well with salt, red popper,
and add enough thick crenm to

is to get tho bread all spread and filled

fancy cutters until thoy aro ready to

A very dainty sandwich which de
lights tho children and oven older peo
plo is tho so-called Kindergarten sand

world will glvo up all the empty Joy it
has. David Swing.
MEAT SUBSTITUTES.
For tho vegetarian, or tlioso who
cannot eat meat there aro many most
desirable and tasty
dishes, so that ono need
not feci that there Is
nothing to eat if meat is
cut from the diet.
Walnut Croquettes.
Mix together tho follow
ing ingredients, form in

usual. Take a cup of
ground or finely chopped

WKy tho Rooting?
Little Anna'B father was a basohah
enthusiast and had taken her to sev
oral guinea. Ono Sunday morning sho
went with him and her mother to the
service In tho Mothodlst church. Anna
was not much interested In tho ser
mon until tho minister wnrined- up
to his subject and tho older men near
er the pulpit began to shout, "Amen,"
"Hallelujah," etc. On tho way homo
sho looked up at her father and ex
claimed; "Say, pop, who wero tho men
up front rooting foj tho preacher?"

BEER DRINKING AND DEGENERA
TION. (Hy PnOK. nil. VON nUXClK. of Ger
many.) Think of tho madness of the wholo
procoas. Yearly, giant musses of our
most valuable nutritive substances,
grains, fruits,' berrlos, nro thrown to
theso yenst fungi to dovour. Tho fungi
dovour this yoast and what thoy leave,
their poisonous excreta, is collected
in vast quantities, stored In bottles
nnd barrels, sent Into all countries,
distributed nmong all men. And now,
day after day, nil tho organs and tls
suob of the human body nro flooded
with this poison, evou thoso which so
crcto the germ cells, and so tho uni
versal weakening la carried down Into
all succeeding generations.
With half measures wo can accom
plish nothing. Only tho most radical
means promlso any success whntover.
Our aim is tho total prohibition of
tho production and trade In nil alcohol
ic drinks.
Our real, our chief cnomy, is the
giant capital which Is laid down In
tho brewing, distilling and liquor-selling
trades. If prejudices still rulo
nmong us It is because this capital
controls, directly or indirectly, the
whole press, nnd does not nllow prop
er Information-to get to tho peoplo.
Such horrors ns n great modern
Joint-stock brewery perpotuatCB aro
unrivaled in tho wholo world's his
tory. Men In past centuries wero
made chattel slaves. But the slaves
kept their health. Men havo been
killed by thousands. But tho children
of tho murdered remain strong. Now
they mako slaves of them and mur
dor them nt tho same time. Thoy kill
thorn with tholr children nnd their
children's children. Thoy kill thorn
slowly; they torturo them slowly to
death.
DOES NOT INCREASE TAXES.
A bulletin issuod by tho census bu
reau gives the financial statistics of
cities witli a population of 30,000 and
over. The 24 cities having a popula
tion of between 45,000 and GO.000 in
cludes Topeka and Wichita, Kan. tho
only two in this group located In tem
perance states. Tho average tax rate
in the 22 wot cities is $19,28 por thou
sand of nssessed valuation. Tho tax
rate of Wichita (59,222 population) is
$15.50; that of Topoka (45,178 popula
tion) is given ns $13.10. Tho current
rate of the latter, however, Including
city, county nnd stato, is but $10.50.
Only eight of tho cities in license
states havo a less rnto than Wichita;
none has n smaller rate than tho cur
rent rato of Topoka. Although Topoka
stands at the bottom of tho list on pop
ulation, only two cities show a largor
assessed vnlutlon.
DANGER OF MODERATE DRINKING.
Twenty years ago medical sctenco
discovered, that tho whito blood cor
puscles are tho guardians of tho body,
defending it against discuso germs. It
has been proved that even alcohol
through Its narcotic effect paralyzes
these defenders and makes them pow
erless to destroy tho Invading foes
this oven after very minute doses of
alcohol. Moderate drinkers are, it is
well known, prone to diseases of the
liver. This Is becauso alcohol inter
feres with Its functional duties. Physio
logical science tells ub that tho liver
destroys much of the poisonous waste
matter generated in tho body. When
alcohol Is taken into tho system the
liver, it seems, goes to .work to elimi
nate that first. The power of the liver
holng limited, some of tho othor work
is left undono, waste matter return? I
into the blood and disease is tho ro
suit.
AN INDUSTRIAL BENEFIT
Tho Royman Brewery represented
ono of tho big Industries of Wheeling,
W. Vn., beforo tho stato went dry.
Tho wets pointed to It as ono ot the
great concerns which temperance
would destroy, thereby throwing men
out of employment. Instead of de
struction, however, came transformu
tlon. Tho Reyman Brewery has been
changed into tho Royman Packing
company. Additions to tho plant cost
ing nt least ono hundred and fifty
thousand dollars are being built- and
it will omploy 400 men. The browery
employed 10.
EDUCATION AND SALOON MONEY.
An American saloon worker was
trying to persundo nn Irishman to vote
for tho saloon by using tho threadbare
argument that if you close up tho sa
loons and cut off tho rovonuo, It will
bo necessary to close tho public
schools. "And then what will your
boy do for an education?" "Well, be
gorrah," said tho Hibernian, "I'd rath
or havo my boy learn his A, H, C In
lieavon than to bo nblo to read Latin
tifholl." Vanguard.
WHAT LIQUOR DID.
During a temporanco campaign in
a certain stato tho proprietors of the
broworlcs published in a local paper
tho following notico: "Alexander the
Groat drank beer and conquorod the
ivorld before ho was thirty-two. Per
haps ho might havo dono it sooner if
ho had not drunk beer, but you'd bet
ter tako no chnncea." Shortly aftor
tvard tho same paper published tho
following as a rojoinder: "Alexandei
hc Great died In n drunken debauch
it tho ago ot thirty-throo. You'd bet
'.or tako nq chancea."
Capes Practical and
' irttf ' XJ - Ssw
CAPES that aro really practical
aro thoso mado in three-quarter
length, well fitted nbout tho shoul
ders nnd full nbout tho bottom. They
aro roomy, without being cumbor
Borne, nnd they nro comfortable But
tho cape, plain nnd simple, is not as
well liked for gencrnl wear as tho
capollko Jacket and thoso combina
tions of capo nnd coat or capo and
Jacket, which costumo makers havo
selzod upon for making now effects In
wrapB.
Tho long, full capo 1b nn Ideal gar
ment Tor evening year. For this pur
Pobo it is developed in many fabrics.
Black volvot, lined with whlto satin
or brocades, nnd whlto silk or satin
drapod with black laco mako them
selves a placo of honor In wraps for
evening or other full dress. Often
handsomo fura In deep collars appear
on. theso ns on othor brilliant fabrics.
Tho long capo promises woll In the
rich brocades and plusheB nnd em
broidered Bilks nnd cropes bo well
ndnpted to It, especially In conjunc
tion with fur used in broad collars or
bands for trimming. For wnrmth tho
lighter fabrics aro interlined.
Kimono Jacket
EVERY woman, young or old, HkoB
tho comfortable and dainty morn-
ing cap and Jacket which wo usually
classed as dressing sacques and break
fast caps. It Is nt tho beginning of
tho day that thoy servo their owners
best. Nothing but tho kimono Jacket
Is mado with a view to being put on In
tho shortest posslbio timo, nnd no
headdress but tho breakfast cap is de
signed to make up for a lack of hair
dressing. These virtues of the cap
and Jacket are enough to endear thorn
to tho average human.
But thoy do moro than simply add
to ono's comfort, for It is tho fashion
to mnko tho articles for the breakfast
garb of protty, gayly colored fabrics
or of flowered materials nnd to deck
thorn out with laces and ribbons.
Thoy are bright and "homoy" looking
and tho admiration of other members
of tho household. A very protty
breakfast cap helps to start the day
-right. Of such an Inexpensive luxury
overyono may havo a number bo ns
to add varloty to tho morning toilette.
Conaldor the number of fabrics ono
may choose from to mako the break
fast Jacket. All tho lino cotton
weaves, lawn, dimity, organdie, mull,
bntlsto, crepe, vollo and challlo. They
are mado In all colors and In tho most
beautiful of floworod pattorns. They
nro inexpensive and it takes only n
short length to mako a Jackot. Or if
something more rich is wanted there
aro tho light weight silks, embroidered
crepes, nets, plain and figured, and
laces. But tho breakfast Jacket is
quite as pretty in tho cheaper cotton
goods as in tho others.
There nro many forms of tho Jacket.

Many of tho combination wraps aro

knows whether to classify them In tho

to be n sloovcd garment. Tho In
genuity of designers has managed to
introduce the lines of tho enpo Into
cloaks, nnd hnB evolved cnpo-Jackota

of the offerings for fall and winter
wear in wraps.
Monogram Towels.
Tho towel monogram Is now being
enhanced by an embroidered framo fot

composed of a Blmplo wreath of forget-me-nots
or similar small flowers, and
frequently tho frame Is an embrold'
crcd ribbon or a slmplo addod ovnl.

I for them. Tho most practical nre tho
simple ones that can bo laundered
easily. Thoy are no trouble to mnko,
so that ovory woman may supply her
self with theso gay and becoming gar
ments. The very simplest of designs Is
shown In tho plcturo given hero. It
Is cut by a kimono pattern and mndb
of figured cotton crepe showing a
small rosebud on a whlto surface
Tho only seams aro tho underarm and
sleeve seams. When theso aro felled,
tho bottom and fronts hemmed and
the neck bound, tho garment Is ready
for trimming.
A ruffle of shadow laco Is sowed to
all the edges. Pink ribbon nn inch
nnd n half wide is used for fastonlng
tho neck and tho fronts. A half yard
sowed to each side ties Into protty
bows. Three yards will provide thoso
and small bows to set on tho
sleeves ns woll.
Tho cap Is mado of a puff of whlto
mull gathered on an elastic cord. A
band ot the figured cropo is sowed
acroBs the front and turned bnck
about tho face. This Is ono of tho
washable caps mado to outlast an ex
perience in tho laundry. Thero aro
many others, of ribbon ami lacos, with
frills and flower trimmings that are
prettier but loss durable It takes so
littlo to make thoso bits ot finery,
even when ribbons and laces aro used,
that most peoplo can afford them.
Tho cap shown in tho plcturo is an
excellent pattern for a swooping or
dusting cap. No ono should neglect
to protect tho hair as much as pos.
slblo from dust, which Is Us worst
enemy.
