Every fruit and green vegetable that is available should be made use of in the spring diet, and all rich and heavy foods used in winter men us, put aside. Puddings, past ries, pancakes and most meats should be absolutely tabooed, and fruits, vegetables, eggs, cheese and lighter breads be used in their places. A pleasant and wholesome change from the pancake and wall’le will be found in the little rosette wafers, and these can also be made the foundations for numerous desserts to take the place of doughnuts, puddings and pastries. These wafers can be served for breakfast with cream ed fish, chipped beef, poached egg, or, in place of waffles, they can be served hot and crisp with powdered sugar. They are de lightful sprinkled with powdered sugar and served with unsweet ened whipped cream, and are equally good with bananas or berries and cream. Oysters, creamed chicken, mushrooms or sweetbreads ser ved on tiie wafers and decorated with olives, radishes, watercress or parsley, make an easily pre pared and appetizing entree. When used as a beeakfast dish or for combining with meat or vegetables, the cornmeal. whole wheat or white flour recipe may be used, but the batter should contain little or no sugar. \Y hen made to serve for dessert they are nicer if more sugar is added. — Margaret B. Foalks, in South ern Woman’s Magazine. A GROWiNC EVIL, One of the many growing evils of this country today is the city department store. In our town, where we have h • best of stores, the most hen.,;able merchants, and where goods are sold at a bargain so small as to afford a respectable living to our business - men, thousands of dollars are an nually sent to the department stores of our Rreat cities. Far mers expect our merchants to pay them a fancy price for their butter, eRRs, poultry, for their i pumpkins, potatoes, apples, pea ches and tomatoes, and then they take the money received from our home merchants and send it to a city department store. 1 here is neither economy or hon or in such a manner of doiriR business. You can write it down in your hat that as a rule the city d<■ >artment store is a swin dle. Our citizens who patronize them should be compelled to ship their butter and ei/Rs to them. I'here is not a business man in our t wn a h i will not duplicate their prices for the same quality of Roods, and hu who turnsdown his home merchant to patronize these fakirs is far from t a hr a to)ai, patriotic end ; i cit’zen.
