In response to a recently-publish- ed request, from 'Mrs. B." for Philadelphia "Pepper Pot," four readers have very kindly sent me recipes for this dish---and the next mail may bring still more. But as all these recipes are a little different, I shall of course publish them all even though a few days may elapse between the appearance of some of them. Mrs. B.F.M.: "Here/is a recipe for Pepper Pot as made in my hus- band's family, who are old settlers in Pennslyvania: Use either the end of ham, or a thick slice; if too salty, parboil first, then pour off that wa- ter and put on the boil with fresh, boiling water and pepper. In the meantime pare eight medium-sized potatoes and let stand in ccld water. Now mix together one cup of flour, a little salt, one-fourth teaspoon of baking powder and a level table- spoon of lard ;add enough water to this mixture to form a paste; roll out thin like pie-crust and cut in one and one-half to two-inch squares.

This recipe serves three people." Mrs. K.: "One pound of boiled tripe, boiled for one and one-half hours with two cups of diced pota- toes and two tablespoons of finely- cut onfons. Then add one teaspoon each of salt and sweet marjoram and one-eighth teaspoon of pepper, and put into the pot dumplings made as follows: One-half cup of flour sifted with one-half teaspoon of baking powder and a pinch of salt: mix with one-fourth cup of - cold milk, roll out one-fourth inch thick, cut in one-fourth inch squares and put on the boiling mixture.

None of our women cara for that kind of thing. They love their children and are proud of them and have absolutely no use for movies or lectures of that stamp. That when we read of a dog be- ing left for days without food we realize the need of a Humane So- ciety. That this is the time when the Shoe and Stocking fund needs a few extra "dollars to tide the school children of the city over until tha fine weather. Speaking to some of the mothers and the teachers in the schools, we hear great praise for tif splendid work of the Rotary Club that for several years has carried on successfully this effort for "the un- der-privileged boys and girls of our city. That no one should miss "The Covered Wagon." Whether you like the movies or not this js a picture that holds you, thrills you, and shows you how the men and women who followed the plough surmounted difficulties and dangers to carve for themselves a home in the wilg6Tness. That this is the month for winter sports and girls who take long walks in the frosty air, dom the skis. skates or snowshoes, and spend hours in the open will have roses nn their cheeks much more beautiful' than can be bought at a druggists.

Sparkling eyes, the elastic step and a clear complexion never accompany organic troubles. Distressed expressions, a sallow com- plexion, dark circles under the eyes, lassitude, headaches, and mental de- pression are the telltale symptoms of women's ailments. Women so troubled should not lose a day in taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from roots and herbs, the most successful remedy known to ol. ed woman's ills and restore health a beauty. 8poilc 'the Hair If you want to keep your hair look- ing its best, be careful what you wash it with. Do not use prepared sham- poos or! anything else that contains too much free alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it. " The best thing for steady use is Mulsified cocoanut oft shampoo, which is pure and greaseless, and is better than anything else you can use. Two or three teaspoonfuls of Mul- sified is sufficient to cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moist- en the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out eas- ily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excess oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft ard the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy, wavy, and easy to manage.
