INTERESTING SPICES AND CON DIMENTS. Spices nicy lie grouped into four classes: Those which are the bark of the parent plant those which are Its fruit or flowers, those which are its root stocks and those which are Its in am on a cassia are closely re lated. The bark of the cinnamon tree Is usually stripped from the shoots when about two years old, which are fermented to make the stripping easier. Cassia buds are the undevel oped dowers of the cassia tree. The crop of both cinnamon and cassia are ha nested from May to November. Be cinisi of ihe warm cordial effect of cinnamon, tea made from it Is used fo Kiie and nausea. The vanilla bean Is contained In the pod or 1 ruit of one of the orchids, a v.ne witii spikes of large fragrant flivvers. This plant Is native to Mex lcSouth America and Asia. The flavor iy so generally liked that the demand far exceeds the supply and other flavors similar to vanilla are used, as it is becoming more and more sen rco. In China the Canton ginger is fa mous for confections and flavoring, and is a great favorite in this country. It •conies in small jars or packed In boxes as crystallized fruit. The active principle of horseradish. Its volatile oil. Is identical with Its near relative, mustard. Horseradish while popularly considered merely a condiment, is used medicinally. It Is so beneficial and stimulating to the digestive organs that It Is often pre scribed as a tonic to create appetite when general run-down condition prevails. It is considered an excellent biood purifier and good for the kld uovs. Mixed with honey It is a most efflcaclotts.cough remedy. Ginger and horseradish are the ch'ef reoresentatives of the root stock type. These roots are known and grown in both hemispheres. The Amer ican colonies inherited the old Dutch and English uses of both for seasoning meats, pickles and the ginger root In preserves, sweetmeats, cakes and for medicinal uses.

As Viewed in Perspective. "What has become of (he o!d-l!trte political boss?" "The type is obsolete." replied Sen ator Sorghum. "And his authority in political affairs never became broad enough to warrant the title, lie was never a real boss. lie was merely a profiteer." Experience. "If the applicant for a stenographer's position here is a married woman, I won't have her." "What difference will I hat: make ij she is a good worker'/" "Don't matter what, kind of work er she is.
