Sticking Pins
in Nutmegs
That is the expert’s way of telling
the good ones, '1 he natural oil in
the nutmeg is what gives it its
flavoring qualities—the more oil
there is the greater the nutmeg’s
value for flavoring,
Stick a pin in a nutmeg that is full
of this oil and oil v/ill ooze out of
the pin hole when the pin is with-
drawn—little or no oil will follow
the pin if the nutmeg is a poor one.
So you see wherein two tins of
perfectly pure nutmeg may differ
widely in flavoring value—the one
kind being ground from oily nut-
megs and the other from nutmegs
that could not pass the pin stick-
ing test.
You must be certain that besides
being pure the ground nutmeg you
buy is oily nutmeg. Looks tell it
in a way — the oily kind is a
smooth, rich brown — the other
kind looks more grainy and is
specked with black woody parti-
cles. Your best assurance is to buy
a brand that is packed by a com-
pany of integrity and reputation
—and so packed that none of the
flavor is lost through evaporation.
Every bit of White Swan Ground
Nutmeg is made from nutmegs
that have, in the highest degree,
passed the pin-sticking test—that
are full of the oil that flavors.
That’s why White Swan Nutmeg
costs a.little more but, because it
takes so little to give a rich flavor,
is so economical to use.
Your grocer sells and recommends
White Swan Nutmeg—and other
White Swan Goods—ask him.

Says the Waxahachie Light:
“You may have a large number
of friends, but you should always
feel that you need one more. ’ ’
Well, that is just the way we
feel right at this time. We need
another friend—one whose name
will lend dignity to a note. Of
course we will sign our own name,
but it needs something, so the
banker says, to bolster it up.
Heretofore we have been an ene-
my to all you money devils, but
we feel a slight change coming
over us, and if there be one
among you who thinks that he
needs a warm personal friend,
we are willing to meet you half
way. In fact, if you are busy,
we shall come all the way. Even
when this is done, we shall be an
enemy to all other money devils,
but we are ready to become a
bosom friend of one man who
has piled up great treasure in
this world. We want to feel free
to ask him for a large loan, and
we want him to feel perfectly
free to ask us if we need more.
Some of our former friends have
become rich, but since fortune
has been kind to them they have
been unkind to us. When they
were poor it worried them be-
cause they had no money to lend
us, but now it worries them when
we ask for a loan. One of them
bought a real cheap auto and
took us riding twice. A little
later he sold this car and bought
a better one. Then he took us
riding once. He grew more pros-
perous and purchased a real fine
car. Since then we have re-
mained on the outside of his auto
day in and day out. For this
reason we want to make friends
with a man who is already rich.
This is a splendid opportunity for
some deserving representative of
the pernicious money power to
win a good friend right from the
rank and file of the plain, com-
mon people. It will suit us to
form tHs friendship at once.
There is no time for delay. She
has her trunk packed. Her neigh-
bors and friends are going, and
she is pointing the index finger
of scorn at us. The children’s
clothes are ail washed and ironed.
She has given us directions about
watering the flowers, and has
told us of the things we are to do
and the things we are to leave
undone while she is away. All
is in readiness now for the trip—
all except the money. What we
need now is a friend-a rich viper
to sign our note.
Dorothy Dix says that a man
never should make his wife a
present of a check, and Dorothy
is right. Of course she doesn’t
refer to those of us who have no
money in the bank. Anyone can
see that it would be unwise to
give his wife a check that could
not be exchanged for bargains.
What she means is that when
wife has a birthday it is proper
for husband to select a nice pres-
ent, and not pay her off in money
as if she were a hired hand.
Wife naturally thinks more of
something that her husband buys
for her. There is some senti-
ment about it, and she enjoys
showing the gift to her friends.
Martha’s birthday comes on the
sixth of July, and every year we
devote July 5 to buying the pres-
ent. That morning we get up a
little earlier than usual, and she
cooks a little better breakfast
than usual. She doesn’t suspect
why we are getting up so early,
and we do not suspect why she
has the extra good breakfast. We
go down town, and with the as-
sistance of clerks, we purchase a
present. This is sent home late
in the afternoon, and when she
sees the man coming with the
package she goes back into the
kitchen so as not to let herself
know. The next morning we
put it in some place where she
will discover it, and then we have
the pleasure of hearing her take
on. Just as luck would have it,
we bought the very thing that
she had been wanting for months.
She says: “Isn’t that the dear-
est, cutest, loveliest, grandest,
prettiest, sweetest thing in the
world. I’m just so proud of it
that I don’t know what to do.”
Then she embraces her proud
husband. He is happy that he
has pleased her and glad that
he has such excellent taste. He
goes to town feeling very happy,
and he rejoices that he bought
the present instead of giving her
a check. It has been the same
every time we have bought her
something. Even after we reach
town she calls us up to tell how
proud she is of the present. Then,
along in the afternoon she calls
again, and says: “I think the
present you gave me is nice, and
if you don’t care, I believe I will
exchange it for a silver baking
dish that they have at the same
place. It is simply grand, and
costs only two dollars more.”
Although wife enjoys telling
husband how much she has to do,
her greatest pleasure is that of
giving him information as to the
easy time other women have.
When husband goes home and
tells wife about the argument,
he makes it so one-sided that she
wonders why in this world the
other fellow hasn’t more sense
than to try to argue with her in-
tellectual colossus. . *"

He tried physician after physi-

‘ ‘I have taken all of your won-

good results from it. I have

your remedy—twenty-one pounds
so far. I was under the care of
five doctors for about six months
before I got your medicine. I am

Fly Time.
Here is a set of rules which, if
strictly observed, will add great-
ly to the comfort, to say nothing
else, of the family and neighbor-
hood:
Do not allow flies in your house;
if a fly gets inside, do not “shoo”
it out, but use the swatter vigor-
ously and finish his career. Don’t
permit them near your food,
especially the milk. Don’t buy
foodstuffs where flies are at lib-
erty to crawl over them and don’t
allow flies to have access to the
dining room. Do not patronize
grocery stores, markets, restau-
rants that harbor and feed flies.
Insist on having screens. Don’t
buy, or allow your children to
buy, the kind of foods or fruit
that are served from sidewalk
stands where they are exposed
to street dust and flies.
Have screens to all doors and
other openings to keep out the
flies, and teach your children to
know what they are for. It is
not what they will take away,
but what they will bring in, that
you are to fear. Not every fly
that comes in may be carrying
filth and disease germs, but the
majority of them are, and the
rest are open to suspicion. You
cannot distinguish between the
guilty or the innocent and you
should take no chances. Swat
every one of them. Don’t let the
flies get into the pantry, or into
any other room where food or
supplies are kept. Keep all foods
covered, whether you harbor
flies or not, for the air is always
full of dust and germs. • It is
easier to be “safe than sorry.”
Swat the fly.—Ex.
Not Buying Climate.

had an Easterner out on the des-
ert, showing him some suburban
property, and trying to turn an
honest dollar.
The investor came from a
prairie state, where black soil in-
dicated fertility, and insisted on

picking up dry sand and rolling
it between his fingers.
That act seemed to annoy the
real estate agent, and he sug-
gested everything possible to di-
vert attention from the sands to
the many attractions of the coun-
try.
“Will this sand really produce
anything?” asked the man from
the corn state.
“With water, it grows every-
thing,” said the agent, getting
more nervous. “But you should
not be looking at the soil. Think
of the climate—the most wonder-
ful natural asset in the world.”
“Climate, man,” said the in-
vestigator. “I find that a very
expensive luxury in this section.
You want fifteen hundred dollars
an acre for the climate, with dry
sand, while over in Texas a deal-
er in earth offered me land for
one hundred dollars an acre, and
said he would throw in the cli-
mate. ’’—Exchange.
