GRAPEFRUIT FOR WINTER
!Tie 1W t Contains Is Not Harmful Have Beef a la Mode
W' for Your Dinner This Sunday
toy Sins. M. A. WILSON
(GopvrtoM, list, bv Mrs. .If. A. WIlJO'i.
All rfpM reserved.)
rpIIB luscious peach, tlio bloomlns
; nectarine,
Among the precious fruits of enrth arc
seen ;
Juicy grapefruit supplies the busy mnrt,
And Bulla each palate, whether sweet
or tart.
The Intense cu'ttirc of the grapefruit
brings to us In midwinter a large golden
sphere of delicious, thirst-quenching,
pure fruit juice, that, owing to Its deli
cate tart flavoring, is most acceptable
during the cold winter months.
Many persons are under the Impres
sion that acid fruits are harmful; par
ticularly Is this true, so it seems, dur
ing the, winter months, as they claim
these fruits thin down the blood.
, -This Is entirely wrong the tart
grapefruit juice becomes neutralized
into an alkaline product during the
process of digestion, purifying the blood
Ptream and cleansing the digestive
tract.
Do nod make the mlstr.kc of over
loading this delicious fruit with sugar.
Try renmlng out the juice like nn
orange or lemon and drinking it with
out sugar.
Midwinter markets begin to show the
advance harvest of the early southern
hothouse produce. It Is high in price
and lacks much of the delicious suc
culence of the nenrby products, owing
to the fact that much of It must bo har
vested before it has a chance to ripen on
the vine.
This is an opportune time to select
h'plece of meat that will last for sev
eral days and may be cooked for Sun
Way, then heated and iniidc into other
dishes for several days.
Beef a la mode is delicious and I have
gathered for this corner nn old recipe
that you will like, I am sure. Just
try it.
To prepare beef a In mode :
A cut from tlio top or the sirloin,
Veinv niece or bolnr cut. is verv cood
and reasonably priced. Wipe the meat i
with a damn cloth nnd nlace in o good
Iied crock. Now add
. Ttco bag leaves,
One dozen onions, cut in half,
i Hunch of potherbs,
I Three cloves,
' Tiro allspice,
I Tiro cups of vinegar.
Have the meat tied in shape nnd
weighing about six pounds. Place in
the pickle on Friday night nnd turn
parly Saturday morning nnd again in
the afternoon and late in the evening.

Hut Dick learns to care more for her

Dear Cynthia In answer to Plebe I
would say that Plebe Is one of our so

You Did Quite Right
Dear Cynthia Good evenlnlj: Saluta
tion? It's only at night ono can relato
their "story," for In tho gray, drab dawn
one's courage oozes away. To begin
with. I nm the average battling stcnog
(nsslstnnt to head), average locus, aver
ago Intelligence, averago salary, aver
age, etc Am not endowed with any
gifts of tho gods, I. e., wonderful piano
playing, glorious voice, fantastic danc
ingbut Just average.
Then Into my average existence ot
two, three dates a week came he. Frank
ly, I didn't know It at first. Then who
does' ... , ,
Our natures were happily congenial,
for he, tco, was only average. At his
renuest I 'Vxave" up every other follow
I knew, nnd after overyming waB net
tled, as far as my family wns concerned,
he informed me his mother objected not
. i,i 1 1 in hlo crettlni? married: that
he was paying $20 weekly board, which
counted a great deal. Now I feel that
his salary was suijicicnwy iuibu io i--.-mlt
the contlnuanco of his remittance
home nnd still allow us tc marry and
lve well. He Is not the only support,
his older brother really keeping up the
house. However, he told me he would
not go against his mother's wishes, but
desired to continue to see me just as
often, and we'd be good pals. Now. I
am not "marriage crazy, but as all of
us know. It Is very difficult to continue
colng with a person nnd not care very,
very much. Even then It Is hardly
worth while to waste the best years of
ono's youth Just "colng around."
The point I wish to emphasize Is:
He wns entirely wrong In making mar
riageable suggestions In the first place,
but It's being done so often today that
one should become cynical and make
"seeing la believing" their stnndard
He wished to contlnuo to see me, as I
said before, but I thought It better for
both of us 'to "break off" right then
It hurt. Still hurts, but wasn't I taking
the most care'ul way out? S. M.
You nre quite rlcht, my dear, and
oven though It hurts very much even
yet, you will bo a finer woman for
having done the right and Btrong thing.
The man had no right to act as ho did,

WHATS WHAT
By HELEN DEOIE
One's toilet Is supposed to have been
completed beforo leaving tho home. No
ono would think of brushing the hair or
tho teeth In public. Yet many girls carry
their manicuring Implements with them
every day, and calmly clean nnd fllo and
polish their fingernails, regardless of
all beholders, In a Btreet car, In the
waltlng-room of a railroad station or
wherever else they happen to have a few
moments' eparo time.
The practice of filing the nails and
ruttinc the cutlclo whllo traveling In any
nubllo vehicle Is dnngerqus ub well as
fndecorous. Often the sudden Jolt of a.
ear or trnln drives the pointed instru
ment Into tho tender skin, and some
times It has happened that tho wound so

They consider the very uiea 11111,11
and can only lay our motives to way

we should get married. Glddy-ap. Na

Wo lovo our pnrents: we respect their

and It's ndventure wo crave, not ro

so. Is It, Cynthia? I appeal to you.

Until She Brought Out Some Modeling Clay and Reached Hit
Heart With It There Are Heart-Brealts and Triumphs

voice came, through his nose, but his
whole heart was in the song ; Jane gazed
Ateadily at Miss Elslo as she said her

Elsie would be sure to know what a

Ho shook his head vaguely.
He didn't liko anything; Miss Elsie
had tried to make him enjoy tho games
they played during school hours, had
pleaded with him to llko the interesting
things they did, but without any result.
Sho knew it wnsn't backwardness, for
she had talked to him after school, and
had found his mind as active ns his
tongue.
Dut what did ho like; what could
she find to interest him?
It wns a heart-breaking task; she
had been working for almost n year with
him and he was still bored with every
thing. '
ONE day sho brought out some model
ing clay for the first time.
The children were far enough ad
vanced, she thought, to try it except
Frank, of course. v
Hut she gave him some, too, just ns
n matter of course, nnd set up a tur
key as a model.
Mary got hopelessly tangled up. Ele

Making More Money
Feathereil Boarder
A. H. Ward, of Utlca. N. Y., had lien,
conducting' his "regular business" for n
pood many years nnd with a fair amount
of success before he chanced to sit down
one day and wonder whether thern
wasn't somo sideline ho had overlooked
somo elmplo and easy way of making
moro money which would dovetail n
with his occupation. Ward was tho pro
prietor of a bird store and also dealt In
food for doga and all the harnesses
leashes, whips, muzzles, etc., required
by dog fanciers. "But," ho thought
"there ought to bo something clso I
could add."
Then tho ldoa camo to him "Whv
not offer to tako care of canary blrdn
nnd other feathered pets while their
owners nro out of town? Pcoplo go
away every year nnd ask their next
door neighbor to run In nnd look
aflor the songsters, nnd, while this cas
unl trentment may havo been all right In
tho dayB when birds were cheap, tho
constantly advancing prices render
greater care essential, Tho upper pari
of my store Isn't used for anything in
particular. I'll clear off tho shelves
put In a lino of attractive cages up
thero and board the canaries for a norri
Inal sum."
Ward Insortod an advertisement In
tho local Sunday paper stating that he
would enro for cannrles for any length
of tlmo for thirty cents a week and, be
foro tho following Saturday night he
had forty-eight birds registered at hli
"Birds' Boarding House." So great haa
been his success with the "side-line
nlan" that Ward now nrooo.qes in .,
tlnue his scheme the year around and Is
uireuuy euiurKiug lua uusiness wun that
end In view.
