We well remember the famous
Wallace House of 1876 and think
that a copy of their proceedings and
tribulations placed on the Desks of

some benefit and perhaps stimulate

“GREENS"
At this wonderful spring season,
tender plants are springing up every
where. Our ancestors, those long-
Jiycd fellows, welcomed the spring
time that brought the “wild greens."
The home-cured bacon made ideal
seasoning for them; in food-values
they were one hundred per cent.
Young, tender plants are rich in vita-
mines, readily adaptable to the human
system. Necessary minerals' for
blood-making art hire to be taken,

to take over her processes and sell
the manufactured stuff as a better

“Greens” are within reach of every

ever before; let's not ignore the
fragrant spring onion. Why can’t
Dame Fashion decree that, only.select
circles can . afford the ‘-exquisite
“onion-breath”—and note her devo
tees in the rush to acquire one? In
the country the fence-comers are
literally alive with “dock," “dande

horse-radish* tops, ’turnip-tops — O,
there’s no end of the health-giving
diet, right from nature’s pantry.
Brown breads, a minimum of meats,
buttermilk, early strawberries, new
string-beans, lettuce, cottage cheese,
fresh eggs once daily, with plenty of
