Love apples they were called. They were considered beautiful to look at, and OMATOES are now included in the foods recommended for old {THE DELICATE PINK TONE OF THE ASPIC ADDS BEAUTY TO THE DISH. ble to serve on menus, but they were eaten with just a suspicion of fear lest they disagreed with digestion. Fortunately, today, this fear has been eliminated and tomatoes are a staple food. This fruit-vegetable can be| served in so many ways that it is a welcome addition to the dining table. Among the good ways to prepare to- matoes is as an escalloped dish. Layers of sliced and seasoned tomatoes are al- ternated with bread or cracker crumbs dotted with butter. This can be the main dish for a luncheon or supper, or it can be one of the vegetables for a dinner. Then this plain escalloped tomato dish can be varied by adding chopped celery and a few shavings of sweet pepper. The celery has to be chopped fine or cut in shavings if used raw. Or boiled celery can be used in larger pieces. Uncooked celery is fibrous, and unless in small bits with the tomatoes the celery will not be BEDTIME STORIE ‘Why Two-Stripes Didn't Return.

(Copyris BY WILLIAM BRADY, M. D. PRIL 26 was the opening date | this year, On that day the first | inquiry arrived. innesota | reader asked me to advise him | | of & Spring tonic with the use | of sulphur and just how to mix and take it. | This season the proportion of such | inquiries in the mail was distinctly | less than it has been in former sea- sons. It looks as though the old timers |are gradually relinquishing their ven- erable traditions. Ho-hum, what a dull world this will be when all those fine old romantic notions have gone glimmering. Sulphur is a laxative. It has no ap- | preciable effect other than that. Prob- | | &bly sulphur is not absorbed into the | blood at all when taken as sulphur, | | but only when it is present in natural | | chemical compounds in such foods as | eggs, beans, meat, cheese, fish, milk, | | peas, wheat flour, oatmeal and potatoes. | There is comparatively little sulphur | in the human body, about one-fourth | example, and about one-eighth as much | sulphur as calcium (lime). The only effect of sulphur taken in medicinal dose is laxative. A favorite old “Spring tonic” mixture was equal quantities of sulphur and molasses, and the old timers took from a teaspoonful | of this once or twice daily for a few | weeks in the Spring when the ice went | out and they were once more able to | visit the grocery. Molasses is mildly | | 1axative, too, and some of the awful | | stuff that is sold under the fair name | of molasses nowadays contains enough | Old Nick’s table, I should think. sulphur in this diabolic fluid known as molasses today is a contribution made in the form of sulphurous acid used in | | the manufacture or refining of sugar. | The famous old “New Orleans” molasses was the product of the manufacture of | sugar in the old-fashioned way, in the | | centrifugal separation and chemicals. | | This fine palatable old-fashioned mo- | lasses is now hard to obtain, but fortu- | | nately may still be had, and it beats | modern mixed sirups as a table delicacy | up the kids' bread and butter.

He knew by the | sound that his mother was not faraway | and that gave him all the more confi- dence. Then he heard another stamp and guessed that was his father. He kept still. Several times he heard | stamping and it came from different places. “They are looking for me,” thought |he, and went his way, looking for | erickets and fat beetles. He heard no more and soon forgot | everything else in the excitement of catching crickets and digging out grubs. He never thought to look about for | danger that he might be prepared to | meet it.

Again that hunting cry and again Two-stripes gave it no heed. He pounced on & cricket with a little grow! pleasure. He ate that cricket and prepared to look for another. A shadow seemed to drift over him. It passed and there was no Two-stripes there in the s hunting crickets. It wasn't & w. but Hooty the Owl on noiseless gs who had passed and without 1se picked up Two-stripes, the head- strong and willful. He hadn't had a chance to use his little scent gun.

Sublimed or precipitated sulphur is for external use. Sulphur in the form of a well made ointment (in which the sulphur is | quite extinguished, that is, no particle can be felt between the fingers) is still | the best remedy we have for dandruff | and for scabies (old-fashioned itch). So | far as we know, however, sulphur is without value as a remedy for other | conditions than scabies where itching happens to be a symptom. (Scabies is a parasitic infestation of the skin, and the sulphur kills the parasites, itch mites, which burrow under the cuticle.)

Yet they have something that the aged millionaire would give nine-tenths of his wealth to poscess. Imagine what Mr. Rockefeller or Mr. Ford or Mr. Schwab would pay for 30 or 40 years more of life.

What is the good of the finest food to the dyspeptic who can’t eat? What matters the softest bed to the insomniac who can't sleep?

They are the most fortunate people in the world.

Answer—You are. tall for your age, which may make you look older, but it is your use of artificial color that gives people a wrong impression about you. You are far too young to use lipstick and rouge. If you are healthy you should have enough natural color in your face. The use of make-up by a girl of your age destroys the appear- ance of youthful freshness that is the chief charm of the early teens.
