In Smart Restaurant of th
Cay City.
For the flrt time for yer th
Part restaurant are now sending
order to the snail farms In the prov
inces, as well a to Italy and Kwlts
erland. The snail are collected dur
ing June and July by women and
children, and must le aa tenderly
handled as egg, tor on no account
must the shell- be cracked. At the
farm they are placed one by one on
grass In fine wire enclosures, and are
fed on lettuce and ruhliuge. A lure
cabbage In au enclosure with two hun
dred wiull will disappear In an hour.
A. large buslnes I don In "runners"
(as the snails arc railed when they
run almut) all the year round to meet
tb" taste of less fastidious diners,
and the Inr cent gray-shelled snail
the best of the edible on en Is In dnn
ger of being exterminated by being
collected during the breeding senson.
"Runners" must not bo packed with
fresh gran or they will overeat them
selves, have Indigestion and so spoil
their ffnvor. There are peop'e who
collect the larger grny sheila to sell
to the smaller restautsjts that an
Inferior order of snail, or even the.
humble mussel, may be substituted.
The snail which Is to tempt the palate
of the epicure must not be eaten-before
the Inst week In September. The
snails are usually packed In flat boxe
or basket containing from 1,000
l,r00 each. Their storage Is not an
rasy matter, for they must be kept
at a carefully regulutcd temperature
for degree too much heat will !c
cefve them Into the belief that sprln:
has arrived, and they will wake and
crawl about

pit's Poverty.
11242 IS HIGH AVERAGE SALARY
Local County Conference In April Will
Show Neclty for Clinic and
Home for Aged and Infirm.
A largo portion of tho fund to bo
raised In the United Simultaneous
Campaign ot the Protestant denomina
tion! associated with the Intercburcb
World Movement will be ued fof
American Mlnlsterlsl support and re
lict It ia greatly needed, according
to leader of tbe Interchurch Move
ment, who early in April ar to bold
the conference In this county.
As a result of the campaign now
being made by the Interchurch World
Movement the combined Protestant
churches of America will provide many
more hospitals, clinics and home for
the aged and Infirm. An lntereattng
feature of these Protestant hospitals
will be free treatment for minister,
as recent surveys mad by the Inter
church organization have made tho
need for special dispensations very
obvious.
The following startling facta wero
dlTulgel as to tbe average salarlea In
the various denominations. Starting
with the highest, the average for Epia-ccr-a!
ministors I J 1,242; the average
for Presbyterian (North), $1,177; for
the United Presbyterians, $1,09; for
the Reformed Church (Dutch), (1470;
for the Methodist Episcopal (North),
$1,176; Congregational, $1,042, and for
tbe Baptists (Northern), $950.
With government experts announc
ing that $1,500 Is tbe lowest salary
upon which a family can be decently
maintained and suggesting budgets tor
none lower, minister have a discour
aging outlook. Such thing as hospi
tal bill are almost Impossible to meet,
and yet every normal family has aom
Illness in its midst every year. Ac
cordingly the Interchurch Movement,
while on it way to obtain higher aver
ages In salarlea, will assist by provid
ing tree care in its Institutions.
INTERCHURCH MOVEMENT
PLANS MEDICAL AID FOR CHINA
In no part ot China la there med
ical force at all adequate to the needs
of the situation. In one province there
Is but ono doctor to five million ot
people, and missionaries living in lone
ly stations must travel many day to
procure medical help in caae of need.
The program ot the Interchurch
World Movement, based on a careful
survey, till include the strengthening
of present institutions and the opening
of a large number of hospitals in new
areas where they are most needed.

that he did while over here It seems

If you would know how a real con
temptible quitter Is regarded, observe

Statisticians report that there has
never been such a demand for luxuries
as now. This Is, perhaps, to be ex
