whites of the eggs and pour gradual
ly Into the dressing, and when rendy
to serve pour over the celery, which

dressing Is also very good for cab
bage or plain lettuce.
Electric light is the magnet that draws trade.
The bright store is the "hypnotic eye" of business.
People can no more resist the attraction of a bril
liant, Electrically lighted store than they can resist
the clarion call of a brass band.
Is your competitor with the Electrically illum
inated show windows, bright interior and sparkling
Electric Sign getting an advantage over you?
The moth never flutters around the unlighted
candle!, Up-to-date stores nowadays consider shop
window lighting a necessity, whether they remain
open after dark or not. Competition forces modern
methods.
A show window brilliantly illuminated with
Electric light will make many a sale "the night
before." Electric light compels attention, makes
easy the examination of your display, shows goods
in detail and fabrics in their true colors.
And don't neglect the Electric Sign. It is
soliciting "tomorrow's" business every moment it is
lighted burning you name in the public mind. It
is a solicitor that never becomes weary never stops
work costs little.
A Useful, Strong Paste.
This article, so universally useful
In the home, can be really depended
upon to do Its duty well. If prepared
as follows: In half a quart of warm
water dissolve a Bmall teaspoonful of
alum, and when It cools add enough
flour to make It Into a thin paste. Stir
It until smooth, then add a pinch or
so of powdered resin, and pour on to
the paste half a cupful of tolling
water. When well mixed and thicken
ed, turn Into receptacles with a cover,
and store In a dry corner of a cup
board. When required for use soften
a small quantity with warm water.
One Mother's Experience.
The questioning mind of a child
and the difficulty In answering Is well
shown In the incident related below.
He was her first. She tells her ex
nerlence to the club when she rend
the naoer
"Well," began the little mother.
"this morning, when I was trying des
perately to finish the paper I had
promised to read here this afternoon
Charlie started a perfect stream of
silly queHtlons:
"Why don't vines grow down In
stead of up?' with a lot more of the
same kind. Thn he tackled theolo
gy. 'Has God got Just one big eye. or
lots of little eyes?' 'Do good mos-
aultoes go to heaven if they don't bite
little boys?' As my unfinished writing
met my eye, I was forced to say that
I would put him to bed. If he asked
another question before I was
through with my work.
"Of course, he promised not to
and of course, he forgot. I had to
keep my word, and his little body
shook as I put Mm In bed, but he was
too brave to cry. IMcr, I was back
at his bedside: 'Charlie, dear, you
may get up now.'
" 'Oh, mamma, may I ask Just one
more question?'
"'Yes, dear.'
"'How far can a cat spit?'"
Long-Lived Women.
The artistic life Is conducive to
longevity In men. Apropos of this, It
would seem that literature might
make a similar claim, as regards
women. For Instance, Caroline Hers-
chel reached the ago of s; Harriet
U'o, 99; Mary Soinervlllo, 92; Hannah
Moore, K8; Maria Kdgeworth and An
na liarlmuld, 82; Jane porter, 74;
George Sand. 72, and Mary Mltford,
died in her 70th year.
For Cold In the Chest.
Common mustard used as a plaster
or poultice Is the beHt cure for a
cold on the chest, and the white of
an egg with sugar Is the finest med
icine for hoarseness. To cure a burn i
an application of the white nkln that
lines the shell of an egg Is unbeatable,
while the raw yolk Is a capital tonic.

Remedy for Burns.

camphor It will cut and keep in a
glass- stoppered bottle to apply to
burns. It will not only heal severe
burns, but also will prevent a scar.

paint the floor, wails and celling of

It Is good at all times, hut especially

SING A SONG OF CHRISTMAS.
Sing a song of Christmas Eve,
Of Santa Claus and toys;
Of the presents, large and small,
For Santas girls and boys;
Stockings hanging on the wall.
Drowsy eyes asleep;
Xnias fades dancing 'round,
Soft their vigils keep.
Sing a song of Xmas trees,
Standing In a row;
With their lighted tapers, all
Prettily aglow;
Wreaths of Xnias holly
Hanging all around.
Christmas snow a-sparkllng
On the frozen ground.
Sing a song of friendship,
Christmas love and cheer;
Loving hearts made happy,
Christmas time Is here;
Sing a song of happiness
A Christmas song today
For the loving Cfcrlst child.
Was born on Christmas day.

Baby's Liver.
No baby can he well If Its liver
does not act with the utmost regu
larity. The slightest variation In its
functions requires Immediate atten
tion, and the longer treatment Is de
ferred the more difficult will be the
cure.
Torpidity rather than overactivity
Is likely to be the cause of trouble in
this organ when cold weather begins.
'The symptoms of this state are easy
to discover.
In the case of torpid liver In a
baby almost a year old, who Is still
being nursed and given no bottle
food, lack of nourishment Is some
times the cause. That is, a baby
literally Is not, getting enough nour
ishment for the liver to have anything
upon which to act, and he Is out of
health In consequence.
