ices.

who are outstanding in leadership in
the several fields they represent, will

Following an official indi-
cating that an outb of the
dread livestock malady known as
“foot and mouth disease” has oc-
curred in England, officials of the
bureau of animal industry, Pennsyl-

taken possible precaution
to keep P vania free from in-
fection.

cooperate reporting immediate-
ly to local Gnu or to the
State bureau of animal industry, any

sore feet are the best evidence of
an infection.

Climb the mountains and get their good

from $3 to $2.50 a thousand.

“Wages of women factory work-

There is nothing more likely to

When you or some other member
of the family must lunch alone, why
not have a tray luncheon? An at-
tractive tray carried to some part of
the house or garden quite away from
the scene of your morning's activ-
ities is cheerful and restful. Fur-
thermore, it's no more work to set
a tray than itis to arrange a place
at the table or to clear off a corner
of the kitchen cabinet. :
Porch and garden meals are eas-
ily served on trays. Let the family
fill their own trays, cafeteria style,
then join the group on porch or
{lawn to eat.

‘meal that can be served on trays to

The same sort of foods can be

tray service. Buttered rolls

take some of the dishes without

are awkward for this purpose and
are impracticable.

in half-inch checks makes effective
sets. An inch fringe on both serv-
ettes and cloths finishes them quaint-
ly.
As for dishes, with the exception
of breakfast, the same dishes that
you would use for any meal are
used. Individual breakfast sets in
gay patterned china are most attrac-
tive, but not necessary. A cover-
ed dish to keep the toast or muffins
hot can take the place of the regu-
lation toast plate and cover, provid-
ed the covered dish permits the
steam to escape. Take care not to
fill dishes too full on the tray.
