One especially nice and very little work is called Nut Snow Dessert. Place marshmallows in the oven until lightly toasted, add chopped nuts and serve with sweetened and flavored whipped cream. Orange-Banana Half fill deep sherbet cups with orange jelly, made strong In both color and flavor by soaking the peel of two oranges in the water before adding to the gelatine. Mash two bananas, add a tablespoonful of lemon juice and a fourth of a cup of sugar. When" light and smooth fold in one cupful of whipped cream.

Heap this on the jelly and serve. Casserole of Lamb's Liver. Lay the liver in slightly salted water an hour to draw out the blood and make It firm. Rinse and wipe dry. Fry slices of salt pork in a pan until crisp; remove the pork and add an onion sliced; when brown remove the onion and add the liver, turn and cook on both sides, then put it into a casserole with two cupfuls of stock and a dozen potato balls and as many small onions.

Cover closely and cook until the vegetables are tender, in a moderate oven. Send to the table in the dish in which It was baked and you have a dinner all ready to serve. A Nice Supper or Luncheon Dish. Cook a dozen tomatoes until soft, put through a sieve and stand aside. Ill a frying pan put three tablespoonfuls of butter and half a dozen eggs; stir and cook until smooth, add the strained tomato and three of Parmesan cheese and serve with brown bread.

Omelet with ham is- a good breakfast dish. Prepare the omelet as usual and spread with seasoned and chopped ham, place In the oven to finish Beet Relish. Take one quart of cooked beets, chopped, one Quart of cabbage, one-half cup of grated horseradish, two cupfuls of sugar and vinegar to moisten. Put in cans and seal for winter use. Give no more to every gueat Than he hi able to digest; Give him always of the prime.

And but little at a time: Give to all but Just enough; Let them neither sterve nor stuff, And that each may have his duo Let your neighbor carve for you. Scott. In the Canning Season. Look up the choice recipes that you were anxious to try, make a list of them, then in the stress of the summer work, important things will not be forgotten. This is the month for putting up" peaches.

One famous cook who was an artist in canning peaches always prepared them the night before and let them stand covered with sugar until morning. They had a richness no other method gave. Can as usual. Here Is a recipe which many may like to try while the cucumbers are in their prime: Cucumber Catsup. Choose fresh green cucumbers of the size and quality used for slicing.

Reject those that are at all bitter, peel and grate them. Put Into a bag and drain them, or a sieve may be used. To every quart of pulp add half a cupful of grated horesradish and half a cupful of grated onions, two table-spoonfuls of sugar, one tablespoonful of white pepper and two tablespoon-fuls of salt. Add a quart of cold cider vinegar and seal in air tight Jars. Plum Catsup.

Boll the plums with as little water as possible until soft; rub through a colander and to every five pounds of pulp, add two and a half pounds of sugar, a cupful of cider vinegar and a level tablespoonful each of cinnamon and cloves. Cook half an hour, stirring steadily, and seal boiling hot. This is especially fine with beef, veal or ham. To Pickle Plume. Gather green plums before they be gin to turn; make a pickle of mustard seed and salt with vinegar enough to coyer the fruit.

Boil and pour over the plums three mornings In succession. They may be used in place of olives. Grape catsup is prepared the same as plum Catsup and is a choice relish to serve with ham, venison or any game. Minced Salt Mackerel. This Is a nice way of using pieces of mackerel left from a previous meal: Free the fish from skin and bones and mince fine.

Make a cream sauce of two tablespoonfuls each of flour and butter. When bubbling add a cupful of thin cream, cook until smooth and thick, season with a little onion Juice and salt if needed, Place the fish In the sauce until heated. Serve in mashed potato nests sprinkled with chopped parsley. An Enthusiastic Acceptance. "I'd like to have you accompany me on a fishing trip that I expect to take next week." "Very well; I'll go on one condl rion." "What is it?" "That you will go where we shall nve no chance to do any fishing," He Wondered.

It is not to be assumed that, by rea son of the smallness of matches, the makers thereof ever utilize scraps or bits of wood left over. The contrary Is the case. Matches are not by products.

Any wood rejected by the match machine goes to the by-product establishment, and of these by products of the match business may be mentioned some, such as doors and sashes, that in some instances form an industry as important as the match industry itself.

At Chapel Hill last week the Superintendents of Public Schools for the various counties of the State met in regular annual session. Nearly every county was represented. Dr. F. P.

Venable, President of the University, welcomed the body of educators and spoke briefly of the responsibility and importance of each County Superintendent of Schools. The meeting then proceeded with the 'programme, which was a most interesting one. Some of the topics discussed were: Health and Sanitation. Instruction in Agriculture, Public High Schools, I'nifonn Ex-ami nation for Teachers, Teacher Training, Elementary Schools, and Work of the County -Superintendent. The session at which Health and Sanitation were discussed was exceedingly interesting.

Dr. W. S. Rankin, Secretary of the North Carolina Board of Health, discussed Health and Sanitation. Dr.

Jno. A. Ferrelf, representing the Hookworm Commission of North Carolina Hoard of Health, spoke briefly investigations which show the wide-spread prevalence of hookworm disease an North Carolina. He explained that in theory the eradication of the disease wa seasy, but in practice a great problem, the solution, of which depended upon educational work. Many questions were asked and requests made that cases be described as they usually are before and after treatment.

Prof. High-smith. of Wake Forest Colege, cited two or three interesting case1; he had seen. Then Superintendent Thompson, of Onslow county, spoke of the wonderful improvements wjiich had resulted among bookworm victims in his county since hundreds of -people had been cured of the disease. He named and described several cases which had come under 'his observation, and the results effected by the cure of the disease were wonderful.

Con-c'luding his remarks, he introduced the following resolution Whereas we, the members of the Association of County Superintendents of Schools of North Carolina, are convinced of the widespread prevalence of book-worm disease in the State, and that the disease occasions inestimable loss to the State in lives, vitality, citizenship and material weaLth; and whereas lie disease is both preventable and curable. Be it resolved, that the Association 'hereby pledges its co-operation in all well organized movements for the eradication of the disea.se: and further realizing that such a movement has alreay been inaugurated, we recommend that the State take -such steps as may be found necessary to aid in accomplishing the desired end. Instead of referring Hie resolution to the Committee on Rules, the rules were suspended and the resolution voted on and adopted without a dissenting vote. The meeting adjourned Friday after a most successful and pleasant meeting. BLADEN COUNTY DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

The convention was called to order at the Court House, Sept. 14th, by B. F. McCulloch, chairman of the County Democratic Executive Committee. Oeorge H.

Aunt Lucy Melvin, an old colored woman, amd the oldest inhabitant of this community, died at her home near this place last Friday. Old Aunt Lucy was 101 years of age when she died. She was the slave of the late Peter Cromartie, who 75 years ago gave her to Winifred, his daughter, at the time of ber marriage to Rev.

Miles' lOwon. Vunt Lucy was always a trusted servant and highly respected bv the white people.

Aiuit Lucy was a faithful membeV of the Methodist church, and is by many children, grand-children and great-gTand-ehildren. D.

C. Children's Names Harmonize. Bhowkegan Is a singularly poetical name, so it is not strange to find that people who live there have poetic names. Mrs. Hulda Green of that place has eight children, all boys Each of them was given a name to harmonize with the name of the next younger child.

The middle names of four of the boys end In the same syllable, while the middle names of the other four have a somewhat similar characteristic ending. The names of the children are Benjamin Delbert, Walter Herbert, Hstrrison Wilbert, El mer Albert, Arthur Chester, Freddie Lester, Franklin Syl fister and Forrest Manchester. the Democratic Voters of Bladen County I take this method of announcing myself as a candidate for the office of Register of Deeds, subject to the action of the Democratic Convention ot Bladen County.

Most of the fish you go after seem to be farther down than that. Evidently the silly season has begun operations in Europe, judging from the excitement over America's offer to be a big brother to Liberia.

When he became the father of triplet! the other day a Chicago man made so much noise that the police had to be called. Some men get excited so easily.

An Albany man wants the state of Kew York to pay him for cherries that the robins took from his trees. When he was a baby he probably cried for the moon. Those South American republics may agree to arbitrate all right, but what will their sport-loving citizens really do when a real livoly little revolution comes their way? Assertions that hitherto disregarded rodents and reptiles are good to eat arouse but little apprehension In the minds of those who have their money Invested in the beef business.

A "Japanese spy" was caught in the act of stealing papers from the tent of an officer at the New York army headquarters.

But upon investigation he proved to be leading man in a moving picture enterprise which designed to produoe the stirring drama, "A Japanese Spy." Another war scare reduced to its fundamental elements. Bomb throwing in Europe is common, and in New York city has almost ceased to be a novelty. But it is a surprise when the chief magistrate of a town of a few hundred Inhabitant In Virginia is blown into eternity by a bomb. The deadly explosive was thrown into a hammock where he was sleeping. It was an act that only a brutish and depraved mind could suggest, and the perpetrator of such a deed is not worthy to remain on a planet even- no better than UUa.

"What do you know about religion?" asked the Irreverent youth. replied the home-grown philosopher, "I know that the worst kind of religion a man can have is the kind he Is always bragging about." (VOMEN NEVER BECOME TOO OLD TO MARRY. Healthy Exercise and Activity of Mind Combine to Keep Woman Still Young When She Might Be Grandmother. Time was when, if a girl was not narrled at 21, she was supposed to esign herself to the single life for he rest of her days.

A little later in the world's history indeed, jvithin the memory of those living was thought that 25 was the limit at which a woman's de-ipairing hopes could cling to matri-nony. The early marriage Is the exception low, not the rule; and there is much vonder and objection nowadays over marriage of a girl of 17 there would once have been over that of. i woman of 70. In old days, royal princesses married at 17. In these days they marry it seven-and-twenty, or even much No doubt one reason lies in the that women no longer give up youth as "prematurely as they ised to do.

At five-and-twenty woman once laid aside all feminine ranity, betook herself in hideous styles of dressing, and up all her ictlvity and her interest in the out side world. Of course, she grew old it once. Nowdays, healthy exercise, activ- ty of mind, and manifold interests sombine to keep a woman still poung at an age when she might be a grandmother. People are inclined to suppose that mercenary motives alone can account for the marriage of a woman advanced In life; but this is a' great mistake. many cases it is an old lover, long parted by time and circumstances, who makes his appearance again, and wins her at last, though he has waited so long to do it.

To him she never seems old the old love casts over her a glamor still that makes her retain the charm and fascination of the days when he first courted her," and he is as proud of her as if she were still the girl he wooed in the long past days every Dne else has forgotten. Sometimes they have only met in later days. No reason, on that ac count, for 'younger people to fancy all entiment and romance must needs be ilead within them. There is raucn romance, sometimes, lingering under a faded exterior as under one In its first bloom, and there is absolutely no put ting a date to the time when love must needs cease to have any power over the human heart. To the woman whose charactet Is tier chiefest charm, and who possesses that straDge, mysterious gift we call fascination, there is really no putting nnv limit to the' time when her chances of marriage are at an end.

Men find her as delightful a companion, as ready in her sympathy, as charming in her talk as when she was girl; in fact, she Is often far more because the experiences of life have mellowed her Judgment and made her more interestd in others than in her self. Such a woman may be loved and wooed long after the woman whose only attraction was her pretty face has been neglected. How wise, then, for girls to cultivate the graces of mind and manner that Really charm, no matter what nature has bestowed upon them in the way of outside at traction. HORNE'S STOHE. Mr M.

By some machines a boiled or steamed log is revolved on its own axis, and a shaver the thickness of a match is cut round and round. This shaving is at the same time cut into lengths and Bplit into match sticks. It may be said that there is hardly a limit to the varieties of methods employed. Round matches are made by forcing Uiem through dies. Harper's Weekly: "THE TRAVELERS' HOME' CLARKTON, N.
