STAMPS 95 YEARS OLD
.WAIT C
ORla
It is perhaps not generally known
that United States postage stamps
have begB in use only 95 years, but
such is the case. The first issue of
United States stamps consisted of on-
ly two denominations, the 5-cent used
on half-ounce letters going 300 miles
or less, and the 10-cent for letters
going a distance exceeding 300 miles.
The 5-cent stamp bore the portrait
of Benjamin Franklin, our first post-
master; the 10-cent stamp bore the
portrait of Washington, and were first
issued in 1837, although a few post-
masters had issued some stamps at
their own expense for about two years
previously. The very first adhesive
postage stamps to be issued by any
government were introduced in Eng-
land in 1840, the example being quick-
ly followed by other nations.
The first issue of postage stamps
in 1837 would seem very insignificant
in volume compared with the tremen-
dous output of the present year, which
is estimated to be not less than 18
billion, requiring 1,000 tons of paper,
575 tons of gum and 50 tons of ink.
Placed end to end this one year's sup-
ply would reach around the earth at
the equator ten times.
But no one has figured out how much
energy and moisture it will take to
stick them where they will perform
their duty.
Merritt C. Speidel, Editor of the
Iowa City (Iowa) Press-Citizen, says
That analytical observation, surveys
and experience convince the open-
minded that never before was there a
time when the public was so "news
hungry" as it is today.
"Advertising news," when presented
interestingly, is read with almost equal
avidity. General agreement in this
conclusion, so markedly evident, is
not confined to any particular section
of our country, but specifically definite
concurrence seems to be nation-wide.
For every dollar invested for adver-
j tising now, there will be a cumulative
I value of two dollars invested when con-
j ditions are improved and everybody is
j advertising again.
Most manufacturers and retailers
I now have their over-head and operat-
I ing costs reduced to a point where a
slight increase in volume will place
' their businesses on the much-desired
I profitable basis.
Advertising is the Vital Force to
Bring About this Business Impetus.
The Time Was Never More Opportune
Than The Present.

A FATAL SHOCK
Once a Scotchman didn't go to a
banquet because he didn't know what
the word, "gratis," on the invitation
meant. The next day he was found
dead beside an open dictionary.
nuw we
,v; 4>ul we
aid support
.veil's effort to-
ward goou..^ we hold this truth to
be self-evident and that no Christian
people and no forward-looking govern-
ment should give protection to a traf-
fic that menaces the happiness and the
lives of the people. We therefore urge
our members to observe loyally and
encourage others to observe the Eigh-
teenth Amendment and the prohibi-
tion laws."
Evangeline Booth, Commander of
Salvation Ai-my of U. S. A., in her ad- ]
dress in Chicago on eve of Democratic
Convention: "Nothing will alter the j
fact that the repeal of the Eighteenth
Amendment will flood the United
States with liquor from the Atlantic j
to the Pacific. Anyone who knows'
anything of the history of this prob-1
lcm will support me in the statement
that the liquor trade is illegal, wheth-
er legalized or not. It never has obey-
ed the law. It never will. If you wish
to bring the criminal law into con-
tempt repeal the Eighteenth Amend-
ment. Such a concession to the under-
world, which would encourage every
evil-doer to redouble his misdeeds. Re-
peal gives notice to every gangster,
every racketeer, every kidnapper of the
innocent babe, that he has only to
threaten society, and society will hold
up its hands and pay blackmail to an
organized rebellion against God and
man. As a citizen I stand as for the
world of citizens Against The Control
of The Underworld."
Let us give heed to this call of duty
to stand for what is right.

A WAVE OF "TRENDS" IS |
ROLLING IN!
If the byword was once "reactions," ,
the talk everywhere today is of
"trends," especially in the food field.
There are bi-oad trends to revised
home-management ideas, a number to
new plans, and still others to advanced
culinary practices. And each and ev-
ery one is influencing the home-making
and cooking ways of women today.
Of these new attitudes, perhaps one
of the most important has been the
adaption of an entirely different sort
"What caused the postponement of
the. wedding?"
"Both objected. He was drunk and
that's why she objected. And he was
so drunk he objected because he thot
they were trying to get him to com-
mit bigamy by marrying twins."
LOST THE KEY TO HEAVEN
"Why so sad, old man?"
"Said something to my wife and she
wouldn't speak to me for a week."
"That's too bad! When did it hap-
pen ? "
"About a month ago."
"Well, why so sad now "
"Foi gotten what it was I said."

of thinking in regard to the refriger-
ator. Today, the refrigerator has
changed food purchasing habits, meal
planning, and actual cooking proce-
dures. Many foods that were once
carried direct from the range to the
table are being prepared daily in the
morning and, then, placed in the re-
frigerator until time for serving.
Green vegetables, fruits and cheese
now appear in greater quantities than
ever on the country's tables, and pert,
crinkly salads are aln-.ost as plenti-
ful in Winter as they were once only
in Summer.
The following recipes are dependent
unon the refrigerator for their palata-
bility:
FROZEN FRUIT SALAD
3 C fruit mixed and cut into pieces.
(1 cup each of oranges, bananas and
shredded pineapple is a good mixture.)
1 C Cream, whipped
1 C Mayonnaise or Special Dressing.
2 T Gelatin, soaked in
3 T Cold water.
Dissolve the soaked gelatin over
hot water. Add to the dressing or
cream. Mix the dressing and cream
with the fruit. Pack the mixture into
a two quart ice cream mold. Cover
with a piece of oiled paper and close
tigh' ly. Pack in two parts of crushed
ice to one part salt for six hours or
longer, or place in refrigerator trays
and freeze. Remove from the mold,
slice, and serve on lettuce leaves with
a garnish of salad dressing.
SPECIAL DRESSING FOR FROZEN
FRUIT SALAD
3 Egg yolks, beaten
3 T Sugar
1 T Salt
V.' T White pepper
8 T Weak vinegar
1 T Fut
Mix all the ingredients except the
fat. Cook in a double boiler stirring
until thickened. Add the fat and cool.

plan your own refrigerator
and have it built to your
special order.
No doubt you would enjoy
seeing your own specifications,
as to construction, insulation,
fittings and appearance,
carried out to the letter.
But, you couldn't design
