grandparents used, and being purely
vegetable they are adapted to children
and old people, as well as those in
the vigor of manhood and womanhood.
Brandreth’s jPills have been in use
for over a century and are for sale

Olive oil, however, being a vegetable
product, has no such injurious effect
and can be used with safety by almost
anyone, except, perhaps, those with
greasy skins.
But particularly those who have ar-
rived—or are arriving—at the much
talked-of and dreaded "uncertain age,"
should not neglect the'regular use oi
olive oil; it helps in a wonderful way
to preserve the soft nothings of chin

Some people advocate pure glycerin,
but this sticky stuff is absolutely ru-
inous to the skin and Bhould never be
used alone; olive oil, on the other
hand, is most beneficial.

Origin of Term “Grocer."
According to etymology, a “retail
grocer’’ is as absolute an Impossibility
as a "weekly journal.’’ A grocer, or
"grosser” as it used to be spelled, la
really a trader "in gross”—that is to
say, in large quantities, wholesale.
Englishmen of other days spoke of
"grossers of fish” and "grossers of
wine,” and an act of Edward III. ex-
pressly mentions that "grossers” dealt
in all manner of goods. In those days|
“spicer” was the word for "grocer” in
the modern sense. But it happened
that the Grocers’ company, founded in j
fourteenth century, specialized, in j
nniJSS,' and so "grocer” gradually took

Sounded Praises of Soap.
In a guide to etiquette published
early In the last century the writer
says that "soap does not irritate the
complexion; some of the finest com-
plexions we have known have been
regularly washed with soap every day.”
Tb« same authority remarks that "the
dally bath Is now the rule rather than
the exception and common sense has
triumphed over the decision that wash-
ing was injurious.” And then the
writer has a dig at, her great-givnii-
riiu.her, "whoso only aWutiors con-
sisted fn wetting her cheeks with a
cambric handkerchief dippedv.n rose-

gard to the bath,” adds this early Vic-
torian dictator, “it must be borne in
mind that we only refer to those in
sound state of health.”

As the delicious French sauce re-
quires close attention in its making,
it is safer to have butter creamed
and the egg beaten before commenc-
ing to broil the steak. The rdst of the
process can be attended to while the
moat Is cooking. Rub in a small bowl
feui^ rounded tablespoonfuls of butter
until creamy, adding a sifting of pap-
rika and half a teaspoonful salt. Beat
the yolks of four eggs in a small sauce-
pan and set one side. In another
saucepan put four tablespoonfuls each
hot water and tarragon vinegar with
a slice'of onion and cook until reduced
one-lialf. Strain out the''onion, add
the hot vinegar to the beaten egg
yolks, little by littleH set the pan
over the fire in a hot water bath and
stir rapidly as the egg thickens. As
sdbn as creamy and thick take from
the fire, add a portion of the creamed
butter, Incorporate thoroughly, add
more of the butter, and so on until all
is in and well blended. Then pour
iat once over a hot broiled sirloin or
tenderloin steak. When fresh tarragon
cannot be obtained a little of the fine
minced herb is added just before serv-
ing. Minced parsley or chives are
also sometimes used and garlic may
be substituted for the onion.
