Editor Social Corner: It seems to me that the sandwich an all-the- yvear-round reliance in any family, so I find pleasure in sending to the sis- ters the way of making different kinds of filling. . In the first place, the texture as well as the freshness of the bread is considered, the kind of bread in re- lation to the filling is a matter of im- portance and the occasion which the sandwich is to grace has much to do in determining the choice of filling. There are sweet sandwiches and sour sandwiches, meat sandwiches and vegetable sandwiches, the classifica- tion of course, being largely depend- ent on the filling. For a sweet sandwich plump and then chop raisins, moistening the fruit with a little butter and a few drops of lemon juice. This is especially tasty with brown or graham bread. Marrons glace chopped very fine and then mixed, to the proper consistency for spreading, with whipped cream, is another delicious sweet sandwich fill- ing. Chopped dates and nuts in about equal proportions 1is another happy combination. Chopped peanuts, either moistened with cream cheese, or mixed with minced dates or figs, makes a sand- wich paste that will surely find favor. u have all | reads out of the | but two weeks.

Candied ginger chopped and then moistened with cream is another good combination, as is candied orange peel and candied cherries chopped fine. Olives are excellent for sandwich filling, either alone or in combination with other foodstuffs. The stuffed ol- | ives, sliced thin, are delicious alone.

ADLES, Hair, Scalp and Face SPECIALIST A School of Instruction Miss Adles is so tired of having ladies come to her with hair and scalp discases received by home treatment and tonics, and poisonous dyes, that she she has decided to TAKE A LIMITED NUMBER OF NATURALLY RE- FINED AND ARTISTIC STUDENTS in her profession.

It is best in using any meat to chop it fine, for then it may be the more easlly spread on the thin slices of bread. For moistening the meat either a mayonnaise or a boiled dress- ing may be used. The addition of a little cress, lettuce or other green is liked by some. Cheese, whether the American cream or some of the imported kinds, is especially tasty with rye, brown or graham bread and makes a sandwich satisfying to the eve. The cheese must be seasoned carefully so the filling will have the desired pigquancy. Often times the vinegar from a mixed pickle will be preferable for seasoning to plain mayonnaise or even lemou juice, These are but a few suggestion but the woman of ingenuity will be able to find among them hints for combinations as unusal as they are palatable.

Dear Sunny South: Will send you a few points on salads and dressing later on.—Centennial Square, e f English Plum Pudding. Editor Social Cormer: Now that Thanksgiving day is over our thoughts turn toward Christmas, so I will glve a recipe for English plum pud- ding. It can bhe made three weeks ahead of time, as it improves with age. After being cooked hang it up in a cool, dry place until you are ready to use it. Then two hours be- fore dinner put your pudding in a saucepan of boiling water and let it boil hard for the two hours. When ready, serve with hard, or other sauce, to_taste. English Plum Pudding: One-half pound raisins, seeded; 1. pound sul- tanas, small yellow raisins: 1-2 pound currants; 1-4 pound orange and lem- on peel, mixed; 1-4 pound citron; 1-2 pound beef suet, chopped fine; 1-2 pound brown sugar; nutmeg and spice to taste; two cups of stale bread crumbs; half teaspoonful of salt; one small cup of flour; four eggs; one wine glass of brandy; grate the rind of 1 orange and 1 jemo: a small quantity of milk to mix it: use a new piece of cloth and boiling water and boil it for six hours. Should you need an extra one for New Year's, double the quantity of each article. Norwich. HENRIETTA. Isabel’s Christmas Hope. Editor Social Corner: What a pleas- ant and instructive competition our elders have been having for the past few weeks and no doubt many a Thanksgiving table has been decorat- ed with some new dish never before heard of. But, as all good things have an end, so has the Thanksgiving con- test and now, Mr. Editor, why not give us young people an opportunity to show what we can do? Can we not also have a contest, or rather a de- bate on gome interesting subject or topic that you may suggest? Or, if it would be more pleasing, let the first prize go to the one who can furnish the greatest amount of pleasure for a given amount of money. We all enjoy glving Christmas pres- ents and sometimes we are put to our wit's end to know where all the mon- ev is coming from to satisfy our de- sires. I have already asked permission of spending this quarter’'s water taxes for Christmas gifts, as surely our kind city fathers will not compel us to pay for something we have not had; that would not be just, and I think it right- 1y belongs to us who heve to take our jugs under our arms and sometimes walk a mile to some pleasant spring and there satisfy our thirst. No doubt there are others who can tell us-how they earn their pin money for the holiday spending. I make many pretty and useful gifts from handkerchiefs, also from rib- bons, and I will tell you about them next time. ISABEL. Norwich, Nourishment for Invalids. | Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: The letter of the Nurse, of South Windham, Me.. which was devoted to the consideration of comforts for in- valids, set me to thinking of the shut- ins and the few easily digested foods for them with which I am familiar. When the stomach rejects all other foods try clam broth. This is made | by placing six clame in the shell,| which have been well scrubbed, into a kettle and pouring a little boiling water over them. When fully open, take up and strain off the broth. Wine-whey, so useful in typhoid fe- ver, is made by adding to a half pint | of ‘milk brought to. the bofling point | four tablespoonsful of sherry wine, stirring until the curd separates, then strain to rid it of curd, and add a tea- | spoon of sugar. An egg added to this| makes it the more nourishing. It may be stirred in, or mixed by shaking | them together in a jar. | Fruit-foam is appetizing as well as | nutritious. Strain fruit through a fine sieve and add juice to the white of an egg, beaten very stiff, and two heap- ing teuspoonsful of powdered sugar | beaten In. To prepare arrowroot, mix one tea- spoonful of Bermuda arrowroot with a little milk, then add to a half pint of boiling miM. Add a teaspoonful of sugar, a pinch of salt and nutmeg. To save sugfr in sweetening cran- berries, place the fruit where it will freeze, then cook, using about half the regular amount of sugar. The freez- ing reduces the acid and it agrees better with some people than full strength. It is often done for this lat- ter reason. FRANK.

North Stonington What Vinnie Would Know. | Editor ‘Social Corner: How should a marriageable young woman choose a beau? Do you believe love must go where it is sent? VIGILANT VINNIE. Scotland.

And not only private indus- try finds that dividends follow the publicity agents, but communities are awakening to the same truth. It pays to boom a ecity. The recently announced census re- port on Los Angeles may be quoted in support. Two hundred and eleven pet cent. increase in population in a dec- ade tells an eloquent story of ambi- tions realized, of boasts made good. The city and the entire Pacific coast country has reason to teel elated. Southern California is one of the garden spots of America. Good soil and a balmy climate combine to make Los Angeles a mecca for the conti- nent. The city’s natural advantages are important, but more important still is the fuct that the city advertises. Los Angeles is probably the most persisently boomed city in the United States. She has for years cried her wares along every highway; her charms have been described for the admiration of the world. No man could be so ignorant as not to know what this Callfornian city thought of herself. And the result of this campaign of persistent publicity is told in the cen- sus figures. It is an object lesson in the advantages of advertising. Why should such cities as Los Ange- les and Denver be permitted to monop- olize this method of self-development? ‘The lesson is too good to be ignored The only city in the United States which does not need advertising is New York. Cleveland needs more than it is getting. Let us boom Cleve- land as 1.os Angeles has been boomed. —Cleveland Plain Dealer. A Modest Victor.

A Canadian Philanthropist. Lord Strathcona has given anotaer $200,000 to the fund for ng and Jle- mentary military drill among the school children of Canada, bringing his total contribution to $500,000. The object of this movement is not to encourage militarism among the ris- ing generation, but to develop the muscles of the youngsters and teach them discipline. Statistics from 1~ ropean countries show that compulsory military service has improved the physique of every mnation adopting it, and experience had shown that the discipline thus acquired has made the men more valuable to their employers in after life. Canada aiins at securing these ben- efits without having to pay the tre- mendous price exacted by compulsory military service, the dragging of young men away from their life’'s work just | apple, elt's unfounded abuse of the! speech the ensssgr- | | cold | take no subst ) s | ‘We can give you to avoid pneumonia. The Important Problem eonfrontifi‘ anyone in need of a laxa. tive is not a question of a single ac- tion only, but of permanently bene- ficial effects, which will follow proper efforts to live in a healthful way, with the assistance of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, whenever it is re. quired, as it cleanses the system gently yet promptly, without {rritation and will therefore always have the -preference of all who wish the best of family laxatives. The combination has the approval of physicians because it is known to be truly beneficial, and because it has given satisfaction to the millions of | well-informed families who have used it for many years past. To get its beneficial effects, always buy the genuine manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only. at the time when their minds are im the most receptive condition, the sub- stitution of the barrack room for the salutary influences of the home, and the danger inseparable from army life of acquiring vicious and idle habits. The Strathcona idea is to give the boys, and girls, too, all the benefits of the BEuropean system, with none of its drawbacks. Tt will be much the same kind of training that is given the boy scouts, a training that is stronger, more alert and more r sourceful, that trains the brain as well as the muscles. Canada owes much to Lord Strath- cona, besides his princely donations of this kind. He it was who opened the doors of McGill university to wo- men and gave them an opportunity to compete with their brothers in the learned professions. With the aid of Lord Mounistephen he established an up to date hospital in Montreal, an institution that was sorely needed. The same two men gave Canada her first transcontinental railway, with its steamships connecting with China and Japan on the one side and the United Kingdom on the other. Both of them are Scotch, but have identified them- selves with the country of their adop- tion, and are spending in Canada for public purposes much of the money they made ther.—Detroit Journal. Developed a New Apple. He who gives a new apple to the world and proves that it is an im- provement upon any. previous apple of its kind, deserves-at least ten times as much praise as the person, long heralded by fame, who makes two blades of grass grow where one grew beto This pleasing celebrity belong to Mr. Hitchings of South Onondaga, one of the most f ous orchardists of this section.
