In view of the present prospects for an unusually large production, it will be more than ever impor- tant to the growers that their fruit is placed on the market properly during the coming fall and winter. While the meeting has been called by the Florida Citrus Ex- change, it will be open to every grower and a very cordial invi- tation has been extended to fruit men who are not affiliated with the organization. Eustis was se- lected for the event because of its central location and ol the very fine packing house which was erected there last year,—perhaps the best equipped and most com- plete house in the State. Business Manager Jones, of the Citrus Exchange, today an- nounced the program for the oe- casion. There will be addresses of welcome by I. N, Kennedy, the mhvor of Eustis, and E. L. Ferran, president t he board oi trade. Other addresses will be delivered |:) Clarence E, Wouds, editor of the Eustis Lake l\'t‘:\‘iwn. Il) Dr, _I. [1.

["he Exchange is to push its or-' ganization on the East Coast as [0} well as in other sections of lllvjl The board of directors of the' lixchange in session here yester-! day took several steps in relation to the selling campaign of the ming fall and winter which it i~ believed will mean a great deal o the citrus industry of Florida. The superior merits of Florida or- anges and grapefruit will con- tinue to he extensively advertised by the Exchange, the results of the previous efforts in - this line I'eving been highly satisfactory. ‘o educational campaign erapeiruit will be carried into much ‘territory where Florida licretofore has not attempted to sellits product. Estimates of the total erop, while admittedly only oness work at this season of the voar, are significant in the unani- mity with which thev indicate an tnusually large production if no adverse conditions develop with- in the next few mionths, The or- ganizers of the Exchange report 01l i very favorable reception at the bands of growers this spring and | there is every reason to believe | that the Exchange will handle a much larger portion of the Florida crop than has been the case here- tofore. Descriptive. | “The last man that came by askin’ for work,’ id the farmer, “was one o' them writin'-chaps.” “Did he say he was?” “He didn't need to; I knowed it without tellin’, fer he looked as lone- some as a sheddin' owl settin’ on a graveyard gate post, an’ as hungry as a possum up a 'simmon tree that had jest ben hit by lightnin'!” Hard to Do. “A ‘perfect woman,’ says that in or- der to attain beauty of form women should remain continuously in a cata- leptic state.” “You must be mistaken.” “Well, it's the same thing, anyhow. She says they must eliminate anger, envy, peevishness, hate and fear.” Merely an Episode. “My wife killed 32 rattlesnakes this morning,” remarked the old farmer, “down in the meadow lot.” “Why, that was a fearful ence,” gasped the tourist. “It was kind of annoying, anyway. She wasn’t out after rattlesnakes. She' was efter huckleberries.” experi- ! EASIEST WAY, She—Wilson his wife. He—sShe spends nearly all her time abroad.

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 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 mald to tell her whenever mince ple 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 plece of mince ple s equal in food value to & piece of roast beef, a medium-sized potato and a slico of bread, with a liberal amount, of butter. There are two extremes: Desserts { far too heavy unless their real food value {s 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 | waste efforts? Perhaps there Is no portion of the meal which requires more time, more thought in planning and inore 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 s to some extentappeased 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 which 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 table of desserts carefully classified for constant reference or written out in tabular form, arranging her stock of successful desserts into three clagses, perhaps, as heavy, medium and light. Then she should consider whether the dinner she 18 planning is high in food value or low and supply the kind of dessert that will make a well-balanced meal. The following table will illustrate such a classifica- tion: Heavy Desserts—Pies, cakes and cookies, suet puddings, rich short- cakes, rich ice cream preserves. Medlum Desserts—Custards and soufflues, rice, cornstarch, sago, tapi- oca pudding. Light Desserts—Speedy and stewed NOT FOR THE PLUMP WOMAN Neither Present Nor Prospective Styles Afford Much Comfort to Those of Stout Figure. | Stout women, plump women, fat women—all of them have bewailed | their fate during the reign of the sheath skirt. They have even taken | to eating grapefruit or orange juice | instead of breakfast. But, with a sigh of relief, they have hailed the news | that full skirts are coming and have | added a piece of toast to their daily rations. | Beware, you stout woman! The latest news from Paris says that the coming silhouette is suitable only to the very slim woman! What is the poor stout woman to do? Of course the mode that is go- Ing was not suitable for her. May she not even wear the full skirt comfort- ably? Not according to the news from Paris. She would be wise if she would forego her slice of toast and return to orange juice and pleasant thoughts for breakfast.
