Some Liver Tips 'Since liver as considered oue of the best foods in the world, for, Infilding up the blood, many mothers are interest- ed in methods of cooking it rather than fryiug it with bacon or smother- ing it with onions. Calves' liver has soared- in price since it has gained its widespread re- putation, but beef liver and pig liver are still cheap and quite as valuable as the expensive calves' liver. They are not as delicately flavored, to be , 'Sure, but the food value is there just the same. Creamed liver and bacon is a better dish for small children than the ordin- , iFy fried liver and bacon served in niany households. Creamed Liver Three-fourths pound liver, 4 thin 'slices bacon, 2 tablespoons 'butter, 2 Olespoons flour, 1% cups milk, % teaspoon pepper. Dice liver and roll in flour seasoned with salt and pepper. Broil bacon and use drippings to saute liver. Shake liver aver a low fire until tender. Meanwhile melt butter, stir in flour „s and slowly add milk, stirring constant- ly. 13ring to the boiling point and pour over prepared liver. Heat thoroughly and serve on. hot toast, garnishing With crisp broiled bacon. Baked Beef Liver This recipe may appeal more to the woman who lives in the country and has buttermlk at ha,ncl. However, but. termitic can be purchased at nearly all city dairies. Two pounds beef liver, 6 thin slices bacon, 1 medium size onion, 2 cups canned tomatoes, 2 tablespoons sugar, efeaepoon pepper, 12 stewed prunes. ' Let liver. stand M sour buttermilk overnight oi for six cir eight hours. When ready to cook remove from but- termilk and wipe dry. Lay bacon over surface and fasten.with wooden teeth - pia. Cut peeled onion in thin slices and place in a„ well buttered baking dish. Put liver on bed of onions, add tomatoes, etgar, pepper and stewed ,pruges with one-half cup of prune Ma— juice. Cover baking (lisle and bake one and one-half hours in a moderate oven; Serve from baking dish. Shears in the Kitchen Perhaps one of the cheapest time and labor-saving conveniences, in the kitchen is a good-sized pair at sharp shears. Celery and peppers are quickly cut for salads. Slit each stalk of celery with several gashes, then eut cross- wise. The celery can be cut as fine or coarse as wanted. Lettuce is easily shredded, tops cut from beets, green onions trimmed and grape fruit prepared by means of the shears. In trimming round steak and cutting the rinds off bacon the shears work twice as fast as a knife and with less danger of cutting the fingers. An easy way to prepare fresh pine- apple is to slice it .across with a large knife and then "peel" each slice with the shears. Eggplant can be prepared this way, too. Candied fruits and marshmallows are easily prepared for desserts when snipped with shears. Dip shears .in water to prevent sticking while cut- ting. Afte using shears they should be washed and scalded and lightly rubbed with any salad oil before putting away. Keep them in a drawer away from the children because they must have sharp points and be sharp on the edges if they give the most satisfactory results. Por Your Files If your aluminum saucepans become discolored, boil them with a little water and a piece of rhabarb, or lemon or tomato, the acid in any of whica will clean the pan. Cake tins which have been allo-wed to get rusty should be scrubbed witb. sand and soft soap, then with hot water and soda, and finally rinsed in boiling water. Curtains with frilly headings .may be given a crepe effect by inserting a cane through the fold, gathering the curtains along it, and ironing over the gathers. This creping helps the head- ing to stand erect. Frying pans of iron, when new, should be washed in hot soapy water for the first and last time. Put in about two ounces of fat and bring to the smoking hot stage. Pour off the fat and rub the pan vigorously round with tissue paper. Repeat twice more allowing pan toeget cold between. Af- ter using the pan for cooking, pour oft all fat while hot, and clean pan at once with a tissue paper ball, Then You ought lever to be troubled with burning. Lamp shades, if of Parchme• nt, may be satisfactorily cleaned with a soft rubber eraser and art gum. If of silk on wire frames, dabble hp and down in Juke warm soapy water. Rinse in the same manner in clean water and hang in the wind to dry. Floor oilcloth, when new, should be varnished and then wax polished. This will obviate washing with soap and Water. Razor blades make excellent vocket knives and string cutters if fitted into a handle. They also rip up seams more neatly than a pair of scissors. Always use them for cutting fur on the wrong side. Varnished paper may be cleaned in this way. Dust the walls well first. Then wipe over a small portion at a time with a flannel cloth -wrung out of parraffin and water, one quarter cup of paraffin in a bucket of warm water, use when cool. Polish with a soft silk duster. Net curtains, after being washed, should be hung in their permanent position wet, not trotted. They will then dry quite stiff, and hang straight. No pulling or ironing is needed. Protect the Trees. In addition to the work of nature, young trees in the city urgently need theintelligent co-operation of every citizen to enable them to give the full beneffit of their beauty. Let everyone make it his duty to protect trees and grass, and more particularly teach children to protect them. It is a small effort to require of any citizen, but it everyone does his share the appear. ance of the city will be remarkably en- hanced. ---Le Nouvelliste, MUTT AND JEFF— By BUD FISHER IlitS Is THE.

English Channel—to become his social secre- tary at a salary of $2,000 a week for five years. All the work the Grand Duke would have had to do would be to sigu Lowenstein's social invita- tions: "Alfred Lowenstein, per Alexander the Grand Duke of Russia." Wow! * 4, * Another Russian Grand Duke—also an exile in Paris—who, as Alexander puts it, "wanted to eat," determined to try his luck as a wine salesman. His mind drifted towards the city of Rheims, with its miles of cellars laden with champagne. "The cursed stuff :ost rise so much money before," said the Grand Duke, "thatsurely it ought to support the now." He duly made a connection with a famous champagne firm and, in no time at all, called on his first pros- pective customer, a wholesale dealer and a former caterer to the Imperial Russian Court. * * They talked of the good old days. They became emotional. They drank a bottle of "extra -special" vintage. The dealer said that wine of such quality was not obtainable any more in Rheims. The Grand Duke smiled and produced his portfolio. He thought he could easily oblige his amiable host by selling him a ellen- sand dozen of champagne of even higher standard. ,But the dealer said "Poor France — poor champagne!" he exclaimed dejectedly. "If even the Russian Grand Dukes inust sell it, who the devil can buy it?" "Right then and there," chuckles Alexander, "the noble industry lost its star salesman." ▪ * 4, "I sincerely regret the present tem- porary retirement of Mr. Alphonse Ca- pone," declares the Grand Duke Alex- ander. Why? Because he was a sub- ject that never failed to amuse and attract European rulers! Says the Grand Duke: "While not every one of them. was as well acquainted with the rich rami- fications of that gentleman's career as King Alfonso et Spain (he re - preached me for not known the exact nature of the relations between Mr. Capone and Mr. 'Legs' Diamond) a guest who had just retuned from America was always certain to please his royal hosts wide the recital of this or that latest episode in the Capone epic." * * Outside of Mr. Capone, what do Kluge and Queens talk about at the family dining table? Here is Grand Duke .glexander's report: "Each time I return to Paris, the permanent seat of my exile, from a visit to this or that reigning relative, my friends want me to tell them, 'in strict secrecy' of course, what news I have brought and what was said in the privacy of a royal dining pone. I find it difficult to make thein be- lieve that the miraculous 'backhand' of William Tilden 2nd provided the main topic of conversation in a palace in Scandinavia, while the qualities and the defects of the Salt Lake Bridge were discussed in detail by the rail- road.loving King of Belgium. • * * "'And London? What did you hear in London about the future of the' pound?. When do they think it will be possible to stabilize the British currency?! „I blush. I sigh. I admit reluctantly that 'they' talked about the Christmas iresents received by Princes. Elizabeth and debated whe- ther it was eally advisable to permit the girl to be photographed so often." Wise old kings! * * A word of warning to "beware of the Oxford accent" is given by Da•L. P. Jacks, former Principal of Man- chester College, Oxford, to those "of rny British, countrymen who may go lecturing" in the 'United States. And Dr. Jacks should know whereof he warns, for he has lectured Isis way through the United States, and Can - axle, en several occasions, and—look at his Oxford connection! "If you Practice the Oxford accent, Or the Cambridge ditto—the people of the 'United States cannot distinguish the two—You will find that it afflicts your hearerS," he says (in his stiaaa- Illustrated Dressincthin# Lesson Fur- Iating beak, "My American Friends.")- "1Vioreover, it will cause there to think that the British are an exhausted race and that what you are talking about Is Dr.‘bj unica.'c''it * * * s says after addressing a Woman's Club in a midwestern eity, a, lady came up to him. "I came here in terror lest you should liave an Oxford accent," she exclaimed. "Somebody told me you had it badly. Thank heaven, yoU haven't a trace of it! But have you?" perhaps the lady's doubt was justi- fied after all, for Dr. Jacks coufesses —a little later on: "Once or twice when my own re- ception (not at that particular lecture) was flatter than 1 hoped for I had rea- son to suspect that the reason lay in my lapsing inadvertently into an 'Ox- ford manner.'" * It naust have been during one such lapse that Dr. Jacks telephoned a lady who 'was giving a dinner in his honor. He had forgotten the hour and so rang her up to inquire. Let hiin tell thestory:1ory: ,v have always had a difficulty in hearing the voices of United States women when speaking on the tele- phone; they are pitched in a key to which I am not accustomed; and they, reciprocally, have a difficulty in hear- ing me. On this occasiom neither my hostess nor I succeeded in achieving intelligibility. Apron Dress Ensemble By HELEN WILLIAMS, 4, * 5 "For some time we yelled at one another to no purpose, she apparently getting more exasperated as the im- broglio deepened: At last her voice came through quite distinctly: "'What damn fool is this,' she cried, 'trying to talk the English language to an educated American woman?' "Whereupon I managed to make her understand that I was the guest of the evening and the conversation assumed a different tone. Subse- quently I took her into dinner, and found her a charming companion, the conversation turning maiuly on the poetry of laroodswerth." • * It seems incredible that a little over 100 years ago—in 1825, to be exact— in an article.. on "Railways" in the "Quarterly Review," the writer pro- phesied that "everything was to be done by steam, and that everybody would whirl along the road at 12 miles an hour." . . . The reviewer "hoped that Parliament would limit the speed "of trains to eight or nine miles an hour, and postpone all thoughts of passenger traffic until the steam en- gines , had been perfected and were not likely to murder the public." * "Queen. Victoria had not trusted her- self on a train till 1842," says George Paston (in "At John Murray's"—john Murray, the book publisher and owner of the "Quarterly Review"), when she travelled from Paddington to Slough. Prince Albert was a little nervous, and when the engine got up steam had been heard to say: "'Mr. Conductor, not quite so fast, please.'" 5 5 5 There has always been a John Mur- ray at the head of that noted. publish- ing house since it was founded by the original John in 1768. Its most famous author was, of course, the poet Byron. There is a letter in the archives of the house from Newton Hansen, the son of Byron's much -tried lawyer. "I do know," he writes to John Mur- ray 3rd, "if you are aware that when the Boy Byron arrived at Harrow (school) they gave hini a nickname from observing that one of his eyes was visibly larger than the other, and the boys saw the difference of the size was as much as between a six- pence and a shilling, so they called hint Eighteenpence. Kiss "the Keg A kind-hearted English vicar one day observed an old woman laborious- ly pushing a pram up a • steep hill. He volunteered his assistante, and when they reached the top of the hill said, in answer to her thanks: "Oh, it's nothing at all. I'm delight- ed to do it. But as a little reward, may 1 kiss the baby?" "Baby? Ler' bless you, sir," she returned, "it ain't .no baby, it's the old man's beer."—New York World - Telegram. lashed With Every Pottei-n.

Bumper Crops Expected in Weal The Spinach Premier Brownlee Tells Hop( For Better to Manu- facturers Toronto, --People of Western Can ada have faced the unusual 000nomh conditions with a courage that "ring' true to the best traditions of the Brit isk Empire," eaid Premier J.

Three Problems Faced, ,Three problems at present confront. ed Western Canada, he said. They were: Finding eufficieut markets for livestock; trying to bring back confi- deuce and the necessary feeling of security, and trying to produce a crop of grain sufficient to bring profits to farmers of that section. One of the reasons why the West's purchasing power has fallen off was the fact that the livestock market had practically disappeared. He was glad to say that this market was now being regained and was bringing s certain amount of cash to the pockets of the farmers. The fact the grain crop promised to be of record proper tions also was helping to a tremere dous extent, he said. Boy Meets Mother After Tewelve Yeari A mother and son who were parted 12 years ago were recently reunited al Steithampten when the Empress of Britain arrived front Quebee. The mother, Mrs. G. Scott, of Hemp shire, had not seen her son, Stanley Kennedy, since he was two years and five months old and the ship's officials had to point him out to her. Then there was a dramatic scene as she rushed towards him and em- bracing him, exclaimed "my so -n." TAKEN TO CANADA. Stanley was taken aback by the sudden. greeting and after returning the kiss proffered his hand and said, "Glad to meet you, Mother." "I separated from my husband 12 years ago," Mrs. Scott said, "and he went to Canada and settled in Mon- treal. I secured a job as stewardess on the Melita, and while I was at sea an uncle of the children took my two boys, Bob and Stanley, to Canada; where they.joined their father. "I did not know Stanley was com- ing over until I received a -cable on Sunday." Girl Art Student . Wins High Honor On the frame of the picture of an "Oriental Portrait," by Mis,s 'Tenet Cree, in the Royal Academy exhibi- tion (London), is a label inscribed: "Purchased by the President and Coun.ell of the Royal Academy under the terms of the Chantrey Bequest." This honor thus won is of especial importance, as it is the first time that the work of a student still at school has been purchased un -der the terms of the Chantrey Bequest. Moreover, in the 56 years of the Bequest's ex- istence the work of only six other women has been purchased out of its fund.
