ICREOMULSION for Couchs.Chest Colds. Bronchitis Xite- FICTION Cotter GHOST ON BROADWAY By ROBERT McBLAIR I N THINKING of it afterward, Nettie Brainard could never get rid of the feeling that the light actu ally did change. In her empty tea room, the telephone on the cashier’s desk rang. Although it was nearly noon, all of Broadway near Union Square seemed to dim to a queer, eerie twilight. “Is this Miss Nettie Brainard?” a man's voice inquired. “Yes,” Nettie said into the instru ment. “Are you the daughter of Bena- min Brainard, deceased, and Nettie Sharp?” “Yes. Yes, I am.” “Is your mother there?” “She’s busy in the kitchen just now. She’ll be busy for half an hour. Who is this, please?” “This is Thomas Sharp. Your Uncle Tom.” Nettie gasped. "Uncle Tom! But — but— but you are dead!” The man’s laugh had a hollow sound. “Not quite,” he said. “But five years ago, up home In Maine, we got a registered pack age,” Nettie insisted, her voice shaking slightly. “It held four Brit- isTi bonds, and his—your passport stamped in Chinese and Russian, and a letter from Harbin, signed by Jerry Angus, saying that you had—” The man laughed again. “Now, Nettle, don’t be so upset by this! Anything may happen in the Far East. Besides, I left home twenty- five years ago. Before you were born.” “Well,” said Nettie swallowing. “Now don’t say anything to your mother. I want to speak to you alone. I’ll be right over.” He hung up. The light seemed to flood back into the deserted tea room. "Heavens above!” Nettie said aloud. “Uncle Tom! Alive! Alive, after all! What ever shall I say to him? Why does he want to talk to me alone? Why, it’s like hav ing a visit from—from a ghost!” Across the street, her mortal ene mies, the two quick lunch places, with their neon signs and their bar gains in coffee and doughnuts, now became friends for once. They as sured her that she was not in some timeless world of the spirit. Instead, she was in the bustling world of to day, where a girl of twenty-two, who loves a young doctor way back in her home town, is glad to stand by her ailing mother in New York, •nd try to make a tea room pay in a section where there is no room for tea rooms. “Uncle Tom!” Nettie said again. All she could remember of him was that he was a black sheep, or some thing worse. Her own father, Bena- min Brainard, never would permit his name to be spoken. This was because, over twenty-five years ago, Tom Sharp nearly had broken off Benamin Brainard’s engagement t^ Nettie’s mother. Tom Sharp had brought home some ruffian named Jerry Angus, and had introduced him to his sis ter, Nettie, at a time when her fiance, Benamin Brainard, was out of town on business. Nettie Sharp, then a girl of seventeen, had found Jerry Angus, the irresponsible wast rel, more enchanting than her busi nesslike and absent fiance. Her par ents ended that romance, but not before Jerry Angus and Nettie Sharp pledged eternal devotion in a secret meeting arranged by the black sheep Tom Sharp. It was a heartbreaking farewell. Jerry Angus and Tom Sharp left together to hunt gold in Alaska, and after that adventured in the Far East. Young Nettie Sharp married Benamin Brainard after all, and had one child, Nettie, before Bena- min Brainard died. He told me about the operation your mother needs, which requires money. He told me more, Nettie. Something about himself. But that was confidential.” Nettie's heart stopped beating. Was it some other girl? "What did he tell you?” she cried. “Never mind. But, look, Nettie. This cash came from smuggling arms in a good cause. Let it do some good!” He laid a brown envelope in Net tie’s palm. His hand, she noticed, was weathered, and had on its back a large strawberry birthmark. “But, Uncle Tom!” she protested. “Now, now!” He got up. “Of course you wouldn’t take ten thou sand dollars from just anybody. He laid a brown envelope in Nettie’s palm, had on its back a large strawberry birthmark. His hand, she noticed. Tom Sharp became an occasional, rambling letter from some unknown far Eastern place. Then, from Har bin, his passport and his legacy had come to his sister. Now Tom Sharp was alive again and hurrying to see his sister’s daughter. Just then the front door opened. In stepped a bouncy, stocky, gray- haired man. “Well, Nettie,” he said heartily, “come sit by your Uncle Tom. Yes, you’ve got your mother's bright brown eyes.” He led her to one of the yellow tables. “Yes, yes, my dear. No one likes to be visited by a ghost!” He roared with laughter. “It was poor Jerry Angus who played that joke on me. Left me with no passport and no money. The crazy fool.” He glanced toward the kitchen. “But I mustn’t waste time like this. I found you by phoning the doctor in the old home town. The same name, but the son of the one I used to know. That’s how time flies! . . .

But blood’s thicker than wa ter, child. Besides, if you and your mother must have a tea room, this will let you have one back home. . . . Take the advice of a wanderer, Nettie. Marry. Settle down. Don’t miss love when it comes by.” He kissed her roughly on the mouth. Then he was gone, leaving Nettie feeling that this visit, from one mourned as dead, simply could never have happened. The kitchen door opened. Nettie’s mother came in. “How can I begin to tell her?” Nettie thought. “I couldn’t hear what that man was saying.” Her mother was talk ing. “But his voice seemed to be one I had heard as a girl I kept ex pecting you to call me, Nettie. I wondered if I would know anyone I hadn’t seen for so long. Like your Uncle Tom; well, I suppose I would know him.” She sat down and picked up a fork. “As for Jerry Angus,” she went on, “the boy who wanted to marry me, years ago, I would know him anywhere. He had a strawberry birthmark on the back of his left hand.” She cut off a bit of lettuce. "Why are you suddenly looking so happy, Nettie? Do stop mooning, dear, and bring your mother her tea." WATCH WHAT YOUR FACE SAYS Probably it isn't right, but it cer tainly is human nature to pass judg ment upon every stranger within a few seconds after you are intro duced. Later you often-times have to reverse your judgment. That doesn’t keep you from going ahead and judging everyone you meet. Some of the men or women you meet win your heart immediately, even before they say a word. This they do by the expression on their faces. Others win you only after days or hours or weeks of associa tion, which causes you to overlook their dead-pan expression and rec ognize their worth. The faces we like, the faces of personality, are beautifully de scribed by Rosamond Lehmann in her novel, “The Weather in the Streets.” One of Miss Lehmann’s characters says to a friend: “I like what—what breaks out be hind the features and is suddenly there and gone again. I like a face to warm up and expand, and col lapse and be different every night and from every angle . . . and not be above looking ugly or comic sometimes.” In other words, what this woman liked and what others like *n a face is life, expression, vitality, anima tion. We all like faces that betray the emotions that go on behind them rather than the dull, color less, cold, unresponsive faces. We want to know that there is friend ship behind the faces we see. Study the expression on your face. If it isn’t what you think it ought to be, do what Napoleon did, what Cleopatra did. Practice facial ex pression until you develop this im portant outward evidence of person ality into a great and enduring asset. Organic Matter Rids Cropland oi Bacteria Viruses Prevent Plant Diseases From Spreading By R. C. Thomas Ohio State College. Few disease-causing bacteria will survive in soil whose organic mat ter supply has been built up by the use of green manure crops and the return of crop residues and manure. Those that do live are so changed that they are no longer a menace to crops. Extracts from soil rich in organic matter contain viruses that depend for their existence upon living bac teria. These viruses £re especially numerous in organic matter added Fighting bacteria with applica tion of organic matter. to the soil through residues from grasses, legumes and grain crops. When these viruses come in con tact with plant disease forming bac teria they have a profound influence on them, changing the form of these bacteria and making them harm less so far as plants are concerned. The intensity of competition for food materials and life itself, among organisms inhabiting soil particles, are indicated by the fact that a single ounce of soil has an estimated living population of 50 million bacterial cells,, besides many forms of fungi. Added to these are five million protozoa as well as other forms of organisms. Beneficial bacteria thrive best in soil well-stocked with organic mat ter and tend to crowd out the dis ease-causing kinds.

Metal Nipple Bucket The metal nipple bucket was proven satisfactory for feeding young calves by Montana agricul tural experiment station. The buck et is six inches in diameter, seven inches high, and is graduated in pints by indentations in the metal one inch apart which serve as a guide to the feeder in determining the amount of milk to feed. The nipple is 2% inches long, made of % inch copper tubing, soldered secure ly into the bucket as shown. It is rounded at the end with solder. Precautions Advised To Prevent Hog Flu To keep flu from getting started, Iowa State college recommends that hogs be brought in at night from hogged-down cornfields to keep them from getting chilled. Overcrowding should be avoided. Quarters should be planned so that sufficient space and adequate equip ment will be available during bad weather, but the buildings should not be shut tight, making hogs too warm. ★ ★★ ★★★★★★★*★★ (HOUSEHOLD Serve Turkey Golden Brown and Juicy! (See Recipes Below) Thanksgiving Tips As the days bring with them that cooler-than-fall feeling, as the frost gathers lightly on the pumpkin, we instinctively know it’s time to talk of turkey and Thanksgiving. If families gather at this season, as is the time-honored custom, you’ll want a re gal bird that's done to fork-ten- demess, besides being golden brown and juicy. Around the bird, you’ll want to as semble those foods that complement it best— snow-white onions with a bland cream sauce to mask their sharp ness, crisp green brussels sprouts, savory with stock and bread crumbs, and sweet potatoes, of course! To prepare the bird, follow these three steps to achieving the feast: Stuffing, trussing and roasting. *Frune Dressing. (For 10-pound turkey) 3 cups cooked prunes 1 small grated onion 1 cup finely chopped celery 2)4 cups fried bread crambs 1 cup prune juice % cup chopped pecans, if desired 1 teaspoon nutmeg Salt and pepper Wash and soak the prunes. Cook them in water in which they were soaked, until tender. Cool, remove pits and chop. Fry onion and cel ery in two tablespoons of fat until soft. Mix thoroughly with fried bread crumbs, prunes, prune juice, pecans and seasonings. Season the neck and body cavity of the bird lightly. Fill neck with dressing and skewer the neck skin to the back. Bring wing tips onto back. Fill body cavity with dress ing, but do not pack it tightly. Skewer or fasten opening to hold in the dressing. Tie leg ends down to the tail. . To roast the bird first grease the skin with melted or softened fat. Place the bird on a rack, breast down, in a shal- Jg la low pan which is V open. If the bird i li does not have a ^ ^ “Y generous layer of fat, cover with a fat - moistened w ^ cloth that is large •^3 enough to go over the top and sides. Roast in preheated oven set at proper temperature. An 8 to 10 pound bird is set in a 325 degree oven for 3 to 3V4 hours. A turkey four pounds heavier re quires the same temperature oven but is allowed four hours longer to cook. For birds larger than 14 pounds use a 300 degree oven and add % hour of cooking time for each four pounds. A 20-pound bird, for example, will take five to six hours to roast. Do not add water or cover pan while roasting. If drippings bum, the oven is too hot. If the cloth covering the bird dries during cook ing, remoisten from fat at bottom of pan. Turn bird breast up when about % done. Remove cloth if more browning is desired. Test for doneness when meat feels soft. This is done by pressing the thickest part of the drumstick with fingers. The leg joint also should move readily when turkey is done. LYNN SAYS: Try These Tips for Cold Weather Cooking Ever use gingerbread as bread? It makes the perfect bread for dried fruit sandwiches.
