If we are going to serve salads to -Qur family as often as we should, at least once a day'^according to good health rules, we must give some time and thought to keeping the salad course out of the rut. With plenty of fruits and vegetables salad is a favored way of getting the essential vitamins. It is also an excellent way of serving left-over vegetables attractively. iSalad greens must be washed carefully several hours before the meal and put in the ice box or some cool place to become crisp. A small bag made of cheese cloth or dour sack is very convenient for holding washed lettuce. When you separate a head of lettuce don't discard the outer leaves. Wash and chill them and use them I shredded for the foundation of another salad. A pair of scissors on the kitchen shelf is very convenient for shredding greens. The other ingredients of the salad whether they -be meat, fruit or vegetables, should be carefully prepared and thoroughly chilled. The salad dressing should he decided upon and j carefully made. It is mixed with ^he 1 salad ingredients just before serving. The three most commonlyuused salad I dressings are "mayonnaise, boiled dressing and French dressing. The recipe for mayonnaise may he gotten from Wesson oil advertisement in any current magazine. A boiled dressing I thai we like very much-is made as follows: Half cup water, half cup vinegar, three-fourths cup sugar, half cup flour, two well'beaten eggs, half teaspoon powdered mustard. Bring water and vinegar to a boil, beat eggs and ' sugar well together. Make smooth batter of flour with cold vinegar, beat egg and sugarinto it with seasoning. Add all to boiling vinegar and water and cook until smooth paste. Cabbage salad: One small firm cabbage, one ci/p celery chopped, one cup apples chopped. Shred cabbage and cover with vinegar and allow to stand for a few minutes. Drain off vinegar, add celery and apple and mix with dressing. Cottage cheese salad: Two cups well seasoned cottage cheese, two tablespoons chopped onions, one teaspoon paprika, one-fourth cup chopped parsley. Mix cheese with onion and paprika. Drop by spoonfuls in a nest of fresh lettuce on .individual salad plates. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve with French dressing. French dressing is said to be the most sophisticated and yet the easiest made of all our salad dressings. Here is the recipe: One cup olive oil, three tablespoons vinegar, one teaspoon salt, one teaspoon sugar, one-eighth teaspoon pepper, one-eighth teaspoon paprika. Mix oil, vinegar, salt, sugar, pepper and paprika together and beat thoroughly. With a good salad dressing and fresh, crisp fruit or vegetables or a combination of fruits and vegetables one may have a good nutritious salad every day. Salads don't have to be elaborate to be good and there are as many combinations of ingredients as one has imagination to prepare. SUBSCRIBE FOR THE CHRONICLE.

A Holiness Preacher, I'ntil His Trick Was Exposed Sharon. Aug. IK.?Albert Teester, unordained Church of God preacher, who has had the front page of the newspapers the past few days with his claim of letting a real poisonous rattlesnake bite him without his dying, calls to the minds of old Sharon residents the stunt an itinerant preacher pulled in this community years ago. According to the story this preacher, named Childers, let it be known that because he was the Lord's anointed he could walk on water. He would walk on water at a creek several miles west of here, it was announced. A big crowd of the curious and doubtful gathered. The preacher had dammed up the stream. At a given time he entered the water and did manage to shuffle along for several feet, tfcie water only covering his ankles. He did it on several occasions and | some people marveled. The feat was the talk of the country side. But not all were gullible. Some folks knew the fellow real well and that he had on occasion figured in the courts as well as out of them. One evening after the congregation had gone, several men examined the creek where the miracle was happening. It was discovered that the fellow had built a trough arrangement under the surface of the water. It didn't take long to fill the trough full of augur holes?enough to leave a shell or skeleton structure; but not enough body to bear the Childers weight any more. There were no radios in those days; but the word went far and wide that the preacher would again imitate the Christ on walking on water the following Suniay afternoon. The time came. Tincreek banks and hill sides were lined with those come to see. At the appointed hour Childers, barefooted an clad in flowing robes of white cotton sheeting, appeared. A sermon or harrangue and then ho started into th< creek. He had made about two steps only, according to the story, when the trestlework broke and .Childers was precipitated into the creek. A howl of rage went up from the crowd who realized they had been duped. Some of the sisters made for Childers who had climbed onto the opposite bank, spitting and sputtering. "Kill that rascal; put him in jail," was the cry. But they didn't because he had a little start. The last soon of Childers he was headed in the direction of Chester, his drenched cotton costume clinging to his long and lanky form; hut not impeding his locomotion. He hasn't been back to Sharon or 'his section since; and that has been a quarter of a century ago. Personal Mention leroy Wooten, of Charleston, is the guest of Oscar Wooten.

Mrs. Frietag was an estimable christian woman, a devoted mother and true friend and withal a woman of heroic mould in bravely meeting the stern requirements and often tho disappointments of life. Her homo instincts were strong. Her affection for friends and kindred was tender and abiding. To her the struggle and burden hearing are ended, ami we confidently trust .that like one who awakens from a troubled dream she has awakened to see life's endless morning break and knows herself at home with all the vast throng of loved ones, missed from earth, safe about her. Clone from out of sight, but because life and love are'stronger than death she is ours still. She is still the I mother of the dear children, upon I whom she doted with such clinging fondness, and may she not by this j very transition wield over them a 'stronger force for goodness and truth I than before?
