Variety of Ways to Serve Peaches

Peaches are a delicious fruit to serve

awkward, but to the English it is easy
and correct.
Americans often serve large peaches
halved without being peeled. Each half
may be Ailed with a spoonful of pow
dered sugar, or the sugar may be in a
wee mound between the halves on a
plate. Sometimes the sugar is passed
for persons to help themselves. When
peaches are very sweet, this is a good
idea, as the sugar may not be wanted.
It would merely be wasted, if served
with the fruit.
Most Americans like their sliced
peaches in rather large sections. In
Canada, more particularly, the peaches
are apt to be cut in very thin slices.
When cream is not served with peaches,
a few squeezes of lemon are occasionally
added to give a zest, or to bring out
the Aavor, as this is said to do. If the
lemon is added the peaches should be
lightly sugared, the sugar being sprin
kled through them as they are cut into
the serving dish.

No matter how long you live you
ony have a certain unmount of time to
waist, so the ferst best thing is to get
up erly in the morning and the next
best thing is not to change your mind
and go back to bed again.
Every hour has 60 minnits, but if you
waist too much time feeling glad about
it, the ferst thing you know there will
ony be 30 left, and when you realize
it you will be so serprized that it will
proberly take you 15 minnits more to
get over it, and by that time you’ll feel
you mite as well wait and start a bran
new hour.
This proves if you have anything to
do you better go rite ahed and do it
no matter What time it is.
Some peeple are always looking at
their watch, whatever elts they are do
ing, as if they are afraid they are go
ing to be late for the next thing they
wunt to do, while others never know
what time it is, wherever they are, be

not for you in case you happen to be

valuble than a whole hour some other

houses the famous hammer, anvil and
stirrup—the tiny bones of the hearing
apparatus—and has no greater capacity
than a large cavity in a molar tooth.
The space Is lined with the same mu
cous membrane as that which lines the
eustachian tube and the nose-throat
cavity. It is in this lining membrane
that infection or inflammation extends
from the nose or throat along the eu
stachian canal (perhaps \k inch long)
Into the middle ear. We doctors call
this cavity “middle” ear to distinguish it
from the ear canal outside of the ear
drum and from the nerve terminal, or
receiver apparatus, of the ear that lies
more deeply imbedded in the skull bone
close to the brain.
The middle ear space communicates
with other air spaces in the interior of
the slightly bulging bone just back of
the ear, and that bone is the mastoid
process of the temporal bone. The air
spaces in the mastoid are called cells.
They are not present in the bone at
birth, but develop in Infancy and at
tain their full sise at the age of puberty.
These mastoid cells are usually in
volved more or less in any inflamma
tion or suppuration (pus formation) of
the middle ear, though we do not diag
nose “mastoiditis” unless the compli
cation becomes the main part of the
illness.
In any discharge from the ear which
is very profuse—more than a small pea
sired space might reasonably produce—
it Is a fair surmise that the pus is tom
ing from the mastoid cells.
The roof of some of these mastoid
cells Is a paper-thin plate of bone, and
In certain cases of severe mastoiditis
the inflammation and suppuration
erodes, or softens, this partition and
breaks through into the brain or its
membranes.
Here are some suggestions which may
be of use:
1. In my judgment the best treatment
for an acute earache is a hot mustard
foot bath, administered to the patient
in bed.
2. Never plug the ear with cotton
where there is ear discharge. It is
much better to permit the air to venti
late the ear.
3. Very profuse running from the ear
means mastoiditis.
4. Surgical Intervention is necessary
and advisable in only a small portion
of cases of mastoiditis.
6. Malodorous ear discharge usually
means bone necrosis and calls for care
ful medical attention.
6. In the absence of personal medical
care, these drops may be used for run
ning ear: Boric acid, 10 grains; alcohol,
1 ounce.
Warm the solution by standing the
vial In hot water for a few minutes be
fore using. One or two drops in the
ear night and morning for a period of
several months.
7. Many persons with chronic run
ning ear obtain much benefit from a
suitable cod liver oil ration.
8. Exposure of the naked skin to sun
light or to the ultra-violet radiation of
a suitable lamp helps to prevent and
cure air Infections.

I BRIDGE TALKS
BY MBS. JOHN MI NCE. JR.
All of you who play bridge; naturally
j want to play better bridge, and it is well
t to remember that many hands have
? more than one bid in them, and it is
1 up to the holder of such hands to decide
[ which is the best bid to make. I have
s often stated in my talks that it is wiser
> to make a major suit bid in preference
> to ano trump, and ano trump in pref
■ er-nce to a minor suit, but If the hand
' contains only a minor suit bid, never
I fail to make that bid. Always bear in
> mind that you are playing a partnership
> game, and that every bid or play you
s make gives your partner information, if
I bids are properly made and play:, are
properly played.
i The following hands illustrate the
■ above, namely, hands In which there is
r a choice of bids.
5 South, the dealer, holds:
' Spades—K, Q, 10. 8, 3.
! Hearts—B.
• Diamonds—J. 9, S. 7.
Clubs —A, 4, 3.
; West, or second hand, holds:
l Spades—A, 5.
. Hearts—Q. 9,7. 5, 2.
Diamonds —A, 5.
Clubs—K, Q, 7, 5.
I North, or third hand, holds:
Spades—J, 4. _/
Hearts—A, 3.
! Diamonds—K. Q, 10, 4, 2.
Clubs—9, 8, 3.
! East, or fourth hand, holds:
! Spades—9, 7, «. 3.
, Hearts—K, J, 10, 6. 4.
, Diamonds—6. 3.
Clubs—J. 10.
We will take up Arst the auction bid
ding. and then the contract. When you
are bidding be very careful not to bid
out of turn, as the penalty for bidding
out of turn is that the partner of the
out-of-turn bidder is excluded from
further participation in the auction, no
matter how strong a hand he holds.
In bidding the above hands at auction.
South would bid one spade. A Ave
card suit headed by the king and queen
with one trick on the side is one of the
1 required holdings for dealer's bid of one
1 of a suit, and as this hand contains the
necessary trick in the ace of clubs, it is
- easy to understand why the bid would
i be one spade. This would have been a
sound one spade bid if the hand had
i contained a small spade in place of the
'• 10-spot.
I Coming to West’s hand, we are aware
> that this hand is too strong to pass.
I Here we have a hand strong enough to
> double. There are Ave high cards likely
l to take tricks, which Is the requirement
. for the double of a suit bid. Then, too,
this hand is strong enough to bid one
i no trump, as the ace of spades is an
. unquestionable stop in the suit bid by
the opponent. There is still another
, bid In the hand—namely, that of two
hearts. A five-card major, headed by.
the queen, with three quick tricks on
the side, makes this strong enough for
a following bid of two hearts. West,
therefore, with a choice of bids, decides
it will be better to bid the two hearts
than either of the other two bids. That
is where the bidder has to decide which
bid he thinks best Atted to his hand.
Other bidders might have preferred the
double, which would be informatory,
while still others might have preferred
the no trump bid.
North, the partner of Dealer, holding
the ace of the suit bid by West and a
quick trick In diamonds, wam ted to raise
his partner's spade bid, but lacked nor
mal support in trumps, so did not raise
the spade bid, but bid three diamonds.
East raised West's bid of two hearts
to three hearts, as the hand contained
two doubletons and Ave trumps, headed
by the king, jack and 10. This one was
all the hand could raise.
Coming again to South, realizing that
North, his partner, lacked normal sup
port in trumps for the spade bid, but
did have a strong diamond suit, South
abandons the thought of playing the
spade declaration, and as his hand con
tains more than normal support in dia
monds, he raises the bid of North to
four diamonds. With the singleton
heart, his partner should be able to ruff
the adverse suit.
West now has the chance to bid
again and bids four hearts, due to the
raise from his partner. After this bid
there are three passes and the auction
is closed.
* The contract bidding would be for
Dealer one spade and I believe most
contract players would prefer an infor
matory double by West, which asks for
a major suit bid. North would have
the choice of passing or of bidding the
diamonds, but whatever North did.
East, the partner of the doubler, would
bid the hearts, and if North bids the
diamonds. Dealer will raise the diamond
bid and West will bid four hearts, get
ting at a game bid in this way. The
leads and play of these hands will be.-
given next Tuesday.

How to Apply Rouge.
Dear Miss Leeds: (1) Will you
please tell me how rouge should be
applied to make one’s face appear
rounder? My face is very long and
rather thin. (2) I should be very
grateful if you would also tell me what
shade of powder and rouge I should
- use. My skin is light, my eyes are
gray blue and my hair is medium
brown. E. P.
Answer—(l> A long, thin face can
be made to appear fuller if rouge is
applied to the outer sides of the cheeks
and blended gradually toward the nose.
(2) Use a light sun-tan powder and
a fairly bright shade of rose rouge.
If the face is first powdered, the
rouge applied, the face powdered again
and the powder and rouge nicely
blended at the edges the result is a
very natural appearing make-up. Many
And that a small brush of camel’s
hair (like a baby's hair brush) is ideal
for blending the powder and rouge on
the face. LOIS LEEDS.

that is accomplished the scalp will

•I DONALD 1 CRAIG. \
July 22, 1813.—Recent approaches of
the British Fleet to the City of Wash
ington, by sailing both up the Patuxent
Riwr and up the Potomac River,
threatening attacks upon the Federal
City, have resulted at last, and for the
first time, in attempts being made by
the city and Federal authoriUes to pro
vide defenses for the city, in addition
to Fort Washington, which is some dis
tance below, on the Potomac River.
Accounts published this week in the
local press give some idea of what has
been done and what is planned along
this line. At Greenleaf Point, which is
the extreme southern tip of the city,
the construction of earthworks has been
started, so that a battery of heavy guns
may be mounted at this point, com
manding the approach to the city from
the lower Potomac. Furnaces have been
built to supply the guns with red-hot
balls. Similar earthwork have been
built near the Navy Yard, to guard the
approaches across the Eastern Branch
of the Potomac.
However, Federal military authorities
continue to criticize the fact that the
troops available here to guard the city
are not given sufficient consecutive
training in the field. They march out
wheneven there is a rumor, of the ap
proach of the British Fleet, and when
the "scare” is over, they march back
again, and either return to their camps
in this city, or, in case of the militia,
to their homes.
Within a week after the recent
threatening appearance of the British
Fleet in the lower Potomac River, below
Washington, this Summer, the Ameri
can troops, which had been sent to
take up a position in the vicinity of
Fort Washington, had marched back to
the city again, where their conduct was
"highly commended” by tha command
ing general of the militia.
In any event, the citizens of Wash
ington have been freed for the time be
ing from the apprehension of a visit
from the British, whose course through
out the region of the Chesapeake Bay
has aroused the wrath of Americans
here and throughout the Nation. They
have frequently sent parties ashore,
taken provisions, and set fire to houses
and barns.
Few persons of military experience,
however, believe that the British have
abandoned their notion of attacking
Washington.

no good, for the day was lost. But how

“Have you seen aught of the King of
France?” asked the prince of two of
; his marshals.
i "No. sir, not for a certainty,” they
I replied, “but we believe him either dead

“Go look for him,” commanded the
prince.
The marshals set out and at once

as you have shown yourself this day.
For. sire, you have surpassed all the
best knights on your side.”
