In addition to folding coat hangers there are folding shoe trees and many other useful articles. For refreshing one- self during a_journey there is a neat Jeather case lined with oiled silk and fitted out with soap, small face towel, sponge and a miniature manicure set, the wholo folding into a small space.

Take with al white cotton bags of dif- into which put shoes, slippers, clean handkerchie: sofled . ones, water bag, and so on. Things will be easler to handle and will keep clean. Each bag may be labeled by being worked In an outline stitch. Always carry a few coat hangers and skirt hangers. They can be pinned to the curtains of a sleeper on the tralr s keeping garments from becomir: inkled.

Of course, the best plan of all is to avoid putting hottles in a trunk if possible. you seve ferent sizes, or Toilet Articles. To hold tollet articles you can make a recey le as follows: Take a cir- cular piece of linen 27 inches in di- ameter. Attach a few patch pockets and sew brass rings about two inches apart all around the edge and run a drawstring through. This is a very convenient holder. Everything can be placed inside, the string drawn to- gether, and there they are, yet when opened and spread out the articles can be found at once. A Vacation Pillow. A pillow carried by a strap thrown across the shoulder and made with two deep pockets on one side to hold a book or other reading r ork or other articles, can be from linen or cretonne of a > pattern that will not show From the material cut ces 18% inches square for the proper, and one plece 10% pillow inches long by 1814 inches wide, with the pattern running the 10%-inch way if the material has an up-and- down pattern. The third plece is for the pockets. Hem this plece one- half inch in all, and stitch flat. it on one of the 18%-inch pleces, with the right sides of both facing out. The smaller piece will extend 10% inches on the larger plece. Stitch down the center of the smaller piece to form two 9-nch pockets. Now put the other 1815-inch plece on the back, turn the pillow wrong side out and stitch up the two sides and the bot- tom. Allow one-fourth inch for seams on all sides, pockets included. Now turn right side out again. Place an 184nch soft pillow inside, then sew up the top to close the pillow. Make a strap 1 inch wide and 20 inches long from the material and attach it to the top ends of the pillow. This is a good pillow to carry on a picnic or a day in the woods. Cover for Light Suit Case. Delicate straw and light canvas suilt cases and other light cases soll quickly and are not easily cleaned. ¥or this reason it is a good plan to make a cover that can be slipped over the case when being carried on a dusty train, and which can be easlly removed for washing. Heavy brown linen, denim, crash or burlap will serve the purpose very well. The cover should be cut in three pieces, one plece for each side, and a strip to go around lengthwise from one end of the handle to the other end. The edges should be bound with 1 d, ape or other material of a shade. Straps of the same gouds as the cover, one on each side of the handle, on top, and with buckles or buttons and buttonholes, make a satistactory fastening. ther plan is to make a large envelope of the material selected, with a large opening like a buttonhole through which the handle of the suit case projects, and a button and but- tonhole to hold the projection which corresponds to the flap of an envelope. The cover is put on the suit case through this flap opening. Neatly embroidered initials impart a finish and decorative touch to any cover. It is a good plan to have two covers for each suit case, so that when returning from a journey you can put on a fresh cover and send the other one to the suitable gift for a woman traveler is the “utlity bonquet.” This is slmply a sewing outfit, made as attrac- tive as possible. Darning cottons, thimble, an emery ball filled with iles, three buttons on a tiny card, teners on a. card, groups of pins in all sizes in both black chite, and all the necessities 1y packed in an ugly little sewing ttit are in this case, half hidden in the hearts of imitation roses, the wh urrounded with a ruffle of lace «nd tinished with a bow of ribbon. In the center of the bouquet should be a pair of scissors with a fluffy bow of silk gauze tied to the handle. The box in which such a gift is de- livered to a traveler should be as eliborate as possible. A fancy box such as florists use will do, or a box of the proper size can be covered with flowered taffeta or organdy, or even paper with a floral decoration. Part of the pleasure of presenting a trav- eler with such a gift is to prepare the box so that she will expect a corsage bouquet to be inside. An_elaborate box tied with silk gauze ribbon or a silk cord, will give this effect. Of course, this sewing outfit may be put up in as siimple a form as you wish, according to the personal tastes of the recipient.

Cut two stout stakes four feet long, each crotched at one end, and two others of half that length. Drive them firmly in the ground, crossed in the position to form & chair, then fasten them firmly to- gether where they cross. Thrust a straight stick through the loop of the cloth covering at each end, place each stick in the crotches, and you will have a complete chalr, comfortable as well as convenient. Beach Capes and Caps. ‘Turkish toweling is ideal for a beach cape. Jt can be brightened by bold emoroldery worked in wash silks and fine wools down the fronts. Most girls prefer a circular cape which can be iraped round the figure, with one end hrown over the shoulder in Spanish :ashion. A large heart-shaped pocket s placed on the inside of the cape and s gaily embroidered. If the cape is made of patterned silk outside and lined with plain silk inside, the heart vocket should be made of the pat- terned material, with a cap to match. The new bathing shoes are very light in welght, 80 light that they can be worn even by enthusiastic swi without inconvenience. The: best when they are cross laced with narrow tapes or ribbons which match the bathing suits A Novel Idea. The girl traveler whose trunk is not fitted with any bags or pockets for holding papers. laces and ribbons, and who has not the time to make such things, will find a heavy manila envelope, glued to the inside of the trunk cover, a decided convenience. When the cover is lifted up it is ea: to put In and take out the contents of the envelope. It is better to use glue rather than paste to fasten the envelope down, because of the ereater strength and permanence of glue, and it should be spread over the entire plain side or back of the envelope. An envelope that is too long is less liable to tear than one that is too deep. In order to keep the envelope flat when it is filled, sgew a button through the back at the point where the three cor ners overlap each other. A wire y ture fastener, such as is used in han ing passepartouts, glued to the flap, will hook down over the button. A trunk-cover envelope of this kind costs only a few cents and will lust a long time. Traveler's Memorandum. Upon a little folder neatly print a few simple remedies for illnesses that are liable to attack a traveler. First, lemon julce undiluted and used freely, or tablets of black licorice or chewing gum will relleve train sick- ness. Second, nibbling cloves, inhal- ing vinegar or placing a sheet of writing_paper against the stomach will relieve seasickness. Third, to allay thirst, a cube of sugar soaked in lemon juico is excellent. Chewing tea leaves is also effective.’ Sweetened lemon juice added to water is much safer for drinking than plain water on boats and trains. When meals aro delayed eat sweet milk chocolate and prevent a headache. Fourth, & good laxative for travelers is to be taken in the morning before breakfast, and consists of one teaspoonful of table salt in a glass of cold water. Half an hour afterward drink two or three glasses of hot water. Fish Cutlets. Two cups cold cooked fish, one-half cup mashed potato, one egg, one-half teaspoon salt, one cup white sauce, one tablespoon minced parsley, few drops onton Jjuice, a few grains paprika Combine the fish, potato seasoning, onion juice and white sauce. Add a tablespoon of minced parsley. Spread on a platter and when cold divide into portions. Shape each with the fingers and a knife and place on a board. Sprinkle with flour or bread crumbs; coat with egg and fry in deep fat. Baked Kippered Herrings. Wipe two kippered herrings, lay them on a board and rub them well over with a teaspoonful each of pep- per and salt and 12 pounded cloves. Put them in a buttered baking dish, cover with vinegar, add two bay leaves and cover with buttered paper. Bake In e moderate oven for 20 min- utes. Beet Broth with Rice Broiled Lamb Chops Baked Potatoes Creamed_Cauliffower Cucumber Salad, French Dressing [Cocoa Cornstarch, Whipped Cream) Coffee BAKED EGGS. Butter baking_dish or individ- ual ramekins. Break each egg fnto cup and drop into baking dish, sprinklo with salt and pep- per and bake in moderate oven; 5 minutes for soft-coked, 10 for hard-cooked. CHICK ON TOAST. Melt one-quarter cupful but- ter, add f a green pepper finely chopped and ceok gently for five minutes, taking care not to let butter brown. Blend in two tablespoons flour, add slowly one pint milk, stir until smooth and thick, season with one-half teaspoonful salt, stir in two cupfuls diced cooked chick- en and one cupful button mush- rooms cut in halves; cook until thoroughly heated and serve on toast. COCOA CORNSTARCH. Beat white one egg stiff and drop by spoonfuls into two cup- fuls hot milk which you have in pan on fire. Remove them to plate when they have puffed up by lifting each out with fork. Beat yolk one egg, add three-quarters cupful — sugar, two even tablespoonfuls cocoa and four even tablespoonfuls cornstarch wet with little cold water. Stir into hot milk and cook untll thick. Then add but- ter size of nutmeg and tea- spoonful vanilla. When cool put custard in individual glasses and pile white ontop. This makes five. HOME NOTES ¥ WREN, Wonderfully appealing are the little white pottery figures which ornament some of the newer flower holders. The slender, gleaming little dancers, poised ! Il so exquisitely among the flowers and leaves, suggest a classic woodland scene. Flowers of any kind make a lovely plcture with such a holder, but the Snring blooms are probably the most effective. These cheerful yellow jon- quils, with their light green leaves, make a setting of fresh and radiant beauty for the delicately poised fig- ure of the dancing nymph. Here the odd six-sided bowl adde its share of beauty, too, for it is a true turquoise biue. Imagine the splendid reflection such a group as this would make against the polished surface of dusky mahog- any or walnut! (Copyright. 1926.) Mean Man. From the Sour Owl (College).

Tested by Time "SALADA” TEA Has Stood the Test of Time PiN MONEY PICKLES Dhe same home made” ity that has kept %Igmyfévm'tes fi‘)br to the already great variety of fine fruits and vegetables available, are the feature today at Center Market. There has been little variation in prices from levels of last week, but the increase in quality and quantities of proguce makes marketing an easier and more economical actlvity for the housewife. Homegrown strawberries have made thelr appearance and are attractive though not é’at up to the quality and size of the Southern Virginia variety which have been offered for several weeks. The prevailing price of the berries is 85 cents a quart box. Can- taloupes, adding to the decided Sum- mer flavor of the market, are selling at 15 cents each. Meat prices remain generally the same as quotations of several weeks past, with a slight easing off in the wholesale price of lamb, making it possible for the market merchants to glve more libaral cuts. Ham and bacon prices are firm and corned beef, more in demand with the coming of the plenic season, {s plentiful at moderate price. Lamb prices vary widely in the range from best to cheapest cuts. A leg of lamb is quoted at from to 50 cents a pound, chops from 45 to 60 cents, shoulder from 25 to 35 cents | and breast from 10 to 20 cents. Poult. prices are unchanged; bakers are 45 and 50 cents a pound, dressed and broilers are from 50 to 60 cents. Turkeys remain at 60 cent Eggs, best grade, strictly fresh, re- main at 35 and 40 cents, with less fancy grades of fresh eggs at lower levels. Best grades of creamery but- ter remain at 60 and 55 cents. Country butter is 35 and 40 cents, The season for roe shad is nearing a close and the price is slightly higher, selling for 45 cents a pound. Buck shad {s 30 cents. Herring are 40 cents a dozen. or about § cents a pound. Salmon is 45 cents a pound, mackerel cents, higher than last and sea bass, 30 cents. Bakery counters at the market are filled with Jarge attractive dis- s of all manner of breads and Flower stands and other alties also are bringing addl- tlonal trade to the market. New and old potatoes remain at 10 cents a pound. Eating apples, Wine- saps and Roman Beautles, are offered at three for a quarter and cooking ap- ples are three pounds for 25 cents. Fresh peas are 20 cents a_pound, | tomatoes are 35 cents a pound and a few mushrooms still avallable are 60 cents a pound.

In normal digestion there is probably no fermentation of sugar. In disordered digestion the fermentation of sugar in the stomach may be very great. Starches are also likely to cause trouble. Fresh white flour breads must not be used. The bread shbuld either be stale or toasted crisp or, best of all, dried in the oven until it i3 like swelbach. Potatoes should be baked instead of boiled. Fats are hard to digest and no fried foods should be eaten. Salt is bad. So are other condiments, sharp acids, plckles and spices. Raw vegetables and the skins of frults will likely prove difficult to digest. One authority says that it is the part of wisdom to heat (or cook) “all foods to the temperature of boiling water and thus kill the yeasts. By diminishing the quantities of fer- mentable sugar and destroying the active yeasts you can bring fermenta tion under control.” Protein foods—eggs, meat, milk and fish, simply cooked, are the best foods, | Steamed, boiled or baked succulent | vegetables should also be used. But all food should be slowly eaten and | thoroughly chewed. A dose of bicarbonate (ordinary cooking soda) will often relleve the distress. ~ A quarter of a teaspoon of soda quickly stirred into about one- fourth glass of water in most cases will give relief. It can be repeated in about an hour. In aggravated cases of hyperacidity some physicians pre- scribe the dose of soda_three times Nutrition Nuggets. Learn to think of each dish as it is coked In relation to fod value of the meal as a whole. Salmon salad, for example, furnished {odine in the fish and vitamins and min- erals in the celery. Sweet potato croquettes, to choose another exam- ple at random, furnish energy and salts in the sweet potatoes, body- building material in the eggs, more energy in the sugar and so on. Speaking of iodine, here {s a ‘‘se told to us by one who has s life by the sea. The very in which to get fodine into the system is through dried sea wees Fish in the diet helps considerably in this direction, but dried sea weed works even faster. Now that the fruit season is with us, it is a good plan to serve stewed fruit desserts in the form of dish ples rather than over the pastry. Deep dish fruit ples the maximum of fruit and the mum of pastry. This means that the mineral and vitamin supply of the diet will be greatly increased. As for the extra energy furnished by the larger portion of pastry, this can be got of more digestible form from other dishes. One of the most successful cooks uses shredded cabbage frequently a substitute for lettuce in preparing the beds for her salad. This not only gives variety, but adds to certain minerals.

Such a food plan as that outlined, results inevitably in overloading the ;yséem with too much body-building 00 but they don't count as ny one The difference between a good salad and an extra good salad is usually the n'negar. Vinegar that is simply sour cannot impart flavor. Only vine- gar that #s flavor itself can give flavor to other foods. Heinz Vinegars are flavor — flavor that begins with the selec- tion of only the finest ingredients, further developed by long aging in wood which is the only true way to produce vinegar at its best.
