A little cherry joie added to dressing adds to its favor. Mushrooms.—Just let them simnr.e gently in brcywned butter until tho rughly cooked. The flavor and su cess of the mushrooms depends upo the slowness of the process. If yo use a chafing dish, turn the flam down to low, or if it is electricall fitted use lower power. At least half-hour is required in. cooking. New Dessert.—Take a pint of rhu cut it into inch long pieces, the cover with a cupful of sugar. Le this stand for an hour. Now hay a Iarge pudding pant at hand, int which you can put the rhubarb, a pin of bread crumbs and a cupful o raisins' in layers. Add a half -cup fel of hot water. A final layer of bread crumbs should be added to the top, and the whole cooked in the over for 40 minutes. Cover the top of the dish during the first half-hour of bak- ing. Serve with whipped cream. Cearrted Asparagus.—Tie the bunch up with a soft string, cut off the necessary part, and cook, for at least 25 minutes in salted water. Have ready a few slices of crestless toast- ed bread. Dip these in the asparagus liquor. then butter well and arrange on a platter. Drain the asparagus and place it on the toast. Now make a good cream sauce, using a cupful. of milk, a teaspoonful of flour and a tablespoonful of butter and seasoning. This is the simplest of dishes, but it is an ever welcome one. Stuffed Mutton Chops. — Remove bones from six double -ribbed mutton chops, or have butcher remove them, replace with sausage meat (about one- fourth pound) and fasten with skew- ers, allowing skewers to project two or three inches. Lay chops in dripping pan, dredge lightly with pepper and salt, and roast for twenty-five minutes, basting frequently with two table- spoons butter dissolved in cup hot wat- er. Place paper frills on skewers and gravy from drippings in pan. In serving, arrange chops in circle on round chop plate, with peas or vege- f a111e• of day heaped in center, allow- ing paper frills on skewers to edge dish. Carrot Chowder.—Two cups of sliced carrots, one cup diced potatoes, one-half cup diced onion, one-fourth cup diced raw bacon, two tablespoons flour, two cups fresh or one cup evap- orated milk, two teaspoons salt, a lit- tle pepper, one tablespoon fresh or dried parsley or celery top. Put car- rots and potatoes on to cook in three cups boiling water and boil forty-five minutes. Fry bacon and onion light brown and add milk. Mix flour 'with a little cold water till smooth. Add to milk, bacon and onion in fryingpan and cook five minutes, then add to potatoes and carrots, with salty pepper and parsley. Dust with paprika when serving. Crumb Pudding.—One cup rolled crumbs, one-half cup water to moist- en, one cup milk,. one egg, one-fourth to one-half cup sugar as needed. Kind of crumbs used will determine amount of sugar. Good combination is rich cake or cooky crumbs and part rolled crackers. Stale macaroons are de, lieious. Roll crumbs fine, add water and let soak. Beat egg, sugar and milk together, add crumbs and bake, or team in top receptacle of small double boiler. Baking requires one- half hour in small, moderate oven; steaming about an hour. This will make four moderate servings. Serve with fruit sauce, hard sauce or cream.' "Last Minute" Dishes.—Did you ever think to make fritters, when the unexpected guest steeled himself coin- placently in the best armchair and' made plans to stay to dinner? No matter how little you have in the larder, you can evolve a fritter out of it. They're a Sunday evening "spe- cial" in one household, where drop -ins are a common occurrence. Make your batter out of flour, milk, baking powder and salt. Two level i tablespoonfuls of baking powder and a b quarter. of a level teaspoonful of salt are to be used to each cupful of flour. p This for a stiff batter—one to which a you 'add fruits, In making all good fritter batter, you use twice as much flour as milk.

Paper bags make very good cover- ing for jars with food in them. Paint stains on the carpet can be dissolved with spirits of turpentine. Dark calicoes should be ironed on the wrong side with irons that are not too hot. When the furniture looks sticky or smeary too much furniture polish has been used. Soak nuts in hot water before cracking and the nuts will be much more likely to come out whole. If roses are starved and otherwise neglected they are more apt to be at- tacked by insects and other pests. Instead of grating cheese or the rind of a lemon, pare it off carefully and put it through the meat chopper. Mix the batter cakes in a wide- mouth pitcher. It is easier to pour the batter cakes than it is to dip them. Coarse salt and water is the best cleanser for wicker furniture and sum- mer matting. Use a strong brush, and be sure to dry the articles thor- oughly. While ironing it is a good plan to get a clean brick (a. white one if pos- sible) as a stand. The iron will re- tain heat much longer than if an open iron stand be'used. • If vegetables are wilted they should not be pared or prepared in any way, until they have been revived in water The wilted surface makes waste in the preparation. When a baking dish gets burned in using it should not be scraped; simply put a little water and ashes in it and the burned surface will come off easily without injuring the dish. Never boil dish towels with wash- ing powders or soda in aluminum uten- sils. It will leave a blackened mark. Clean aluminum with paste prepar- ed for it, or rub blackened scorched surfaces with mineral wool. Half a cupful of milk put in a dish - tub full of hot water will serve as a substitute for soap. It softens the water, does not roughen the hands, and brightens dishes, cleaning off all greases, and leaving no scum in the WANTS EVERYBODY TO KNOW DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS CURED HIM. Louis Champagne, After a Long Period of Sickness and Weakness, Says He Found New Health in Dodd's Kidney Pills. Millerand, Ont., May 8th (Special.) —Strong and hearty again after a long period of weakness and ill -health, Louis Champagne, a well-known resi- dent of this place, is spreading broad- cast the good news that he found new health and strength in Dodd's Kidney Pills. "For a long time," Mr. Champagne states in an interview, "I suffered from kidney disease and backache. My appetite was uncertain, and I got up in the morning with a bitter taste in my mouth. There were flashes of light before my eyes, and I had a dragging sensation across the loins. My limbs were heavy and I was always tired. "Then I decided to try Dodd's Kid- ney Pills, and I am glad to be able to say that two boxes made me well. C' FASHIONS Satin and Serge Combinations. Perhaps 'the most noticeable thing' about the summer styles is their de- cided youthfulness; this is both in line and coloring. The straight lined :frocks and suits of serge, garbardine, taffeta and faille, lend grace and youth to all types of figures. For instance,: a yoked, pleated frock of dark blue serge trimmed with black taffeta may be worn by the large woman or the small one with equally good results. One particularly good model worn by a large woman, at an exhibition re- cently, was made with a deep Shoulder yoke of black taffeta, the serge laid in deep, flat pleats, hanging straight from the yoke. A girdle, coesisting of two narrow stitched straps of the black silk, came .well down ,over the hips, giving a long, slender appear- ance to a. rather heavy figure. A pretty adaptation of the same style of dress is illustrated here in serge for the slender, younger woman. Satin is effective with serge; and of course the combination of navy blue serge and black satin is quite as pop- ular this season again as it has been for several seasons past. One sees many smart serge frocks with sleeve- less coatees of black satin, half skirts of satin, sleeves of satin, and the vari- ous olther notions favored for the modish combining of two or more contrasting materials. Scarcely a frock appears these days made strict - fly of one material. It is a fad which makes for economy and becom- ingness. Hand Painting on Sport Costumes The sport costume ice another youth- ful notion. It imparts a delightful feeling of freedom, both of movement and spirit. There is something very becoming and exhilarating about the combinations of vivid colorings in the wide striped, checked, and printed novelty fabrics now being used in skirts and. suits. The middy -blouse costume is popular with all; one of the new materials being used for middys is an adaptation of the old- fashioned jean. This material wears quite as well as its old-time blue pre- ecessor, is reasonably priced, and a most satisfactory material generally or middy blouse and accompanying kirt. An effective combination for middy costume its one of the bright awning striped linens or ducks, with louse of plain, white, collared and, Wed, in the stripes: The hand -painted or stencilled hat as been a fad for some tithe, its vivid parrots, chanticleers, conventionalized Owers and fruits, harmonizing and blending in charmingly with the sport suit or frock. While many of us ave misgivings as to the durability f the colons when the sun takes a and, and beats down mercilessly on their gorgeous tones, still the idea is est attractive and becoming, and so easily carried out, that even if the colors de fade they may be quickly e and readily restored; therefore, we d f s a rI recommend Dodd's Kidney Pills to ,b .all those who suffer from feebleness 1.. or bad kidneys." h If you have the symptoms mention- $ ed by Mr. Champagne you may be . sure your kidneys need attention. 'Neglected kidneys are the cause of more than half the ills mankind is heir to. The way to treat sick or weak kidneys is to use Dodd's Kidne After cooking a new laid egg it very often gets cold through standing. When this occurs put the egg into a cup or small basin and pour some hot (not boiling) water over the egg. You will then find the egg as nice as when freshly boiled. All the left over pieces of bread, should be wrapped carefully in a flour bag, or a sack. Hang this where the air can reach it. It serves to keep the bread free from mold. And you always have it at hand when you ' want to put it through the meat chop- per for bread crumbs, bread puddings,! cutlets, etc. To renovate hat bands when stained by sweat dissolve 1r/a ozs., of white castile soap in 4 ozs. of alcohol and 1 oz. each of sulphuric ether and am- monia; apply with a sponge or tooth brush, rub smartly, rinse out with clear rain water. This is equally good to renovate any cloth with fast color. To prevent the finger from become. ng pricked when hemming or em- roidery put a small piece of sur- eon'sgadhesive plaster over it. This laster can easily be removed, and roll may be kept in the work -basket for this purpose. This device is much imore practical than the silver or gold finger -shields, For damp places round a sink, or trailer place, paint over with tar.

Just cut the canned fruit up into very 0 small pieces, then acid them to the bat- ter, Applies should be cut up into slices, coated with batter, then cook- .' b ed in fat.

The loss of the youth of the nation is perhaps the bitterest blow to the countries engaged in the war. "At this moment we are threatened 'with a man shortage greater than any we ever before knew in our history,". writes the medical correspondent of ;the Times. As a people; the writer concludes, I the English must set their house in i order lest in the days to come they find it tenantless and so become a 'prey to foes who have shown a wiser foresight and a truer appreciation of :values. On the other hand Dr. Murray Les- ' lie, lecturing recently at the Institute of Hygiene, London, on "The Disabled Soldier; His, Future and Economic Value,' said the present marriage rate is the highest ever known. Present marriages for the most part have been confined to young strong and active -soldiers, although there were numer- ous instances where girls had been only too glad to marry the men of their choice after the latter had been disfigured or disabled. From that point of view war engagements as well as war marriages are greatly to be recommended, the speaker believ- ed. Admiration for disabled war heroes should be encouraged. He con- tinued: "The economic question is the diffi- culty; yet how many women there are in this country with comfortable in- comes who spend large sums on pam- pered lapdogs! Such incomes could be better utilized in other direc- tions." Utility. "Did your audience throw you bou- quets after your speech?'

One im- ported novelty has a bead flower ap- plied at the center -back, and is closed in front with another rose to match. Another pretty suggestion for the young girl is illustrated here in the effective combination of plain and plaid voile. Foulards are being used extensively again this year; there is no silk, it seems, half as satisfactory for the summer silk frock for afternoons and for church. A most attractive dress, shown recently was fashioned of polka-dotted foulard, a dark blue dot on a white ground, trimmed with bandings collar and cutis of plain, dark blue foudard.

British Mine Sweeper Deckhand Picks Up Floating Package. A story of a package of diamonds worth 1100 ($500) found floating in the North Sea by one of the crew of a British nine sweeper was told in a London police station recently by a deckhand, Walter Gleeson, who had been arrested while trying to dispose of the gems. At the police station the deckhand confessed that while on a trawler which was engaged in the hazardous task of gathering up mines in the North Sea he saw a package floating in the water. He go it with a boat- hook and when he opened it he found ninety-eight polished and seventy-five unpolished gens,, The deckhand at- tempted, in company with a friend, to soli the diamonds to a jeweller at Cardiff. There was nothing on the. package to indicate the owner or how the diamonds came to be floating about in the mine strewn waters ofthe North Sea.
