THE PADUCAH POST
7tints for the
Household
Trimming*
In meals, as in nearly every-
thing else, it is the little things
that count. Two people may serve
exactly the same menus and one
may have a successful meal and
the other one a miserable failure.
To be sure, it is the women who
notice these necessary details
most, but where is the man who
can not sense when a meal has
been extra tasty? And, nine times
out of ten, it is the trimmings
that have made the difference.
Meat platters can be so pretti-
ly garnished with apple rings—
parsley or vegetables when so
thoughtfully arranged.
There is really nothing prettier
or more refreshing than a tasty
salad.
Two Little Cheese Carrots
On the side of the plate is a
pretty surprise and addition to
any salad.
Mold soft American cheese and
shape into small carrots (any
yellow cheese will do). Put a tiny
sprig of green in carrot top. Use
real carrot green, parsley or
whatever is handy.
Cherries on the plate are also
pretty. Mold cheese in small round
balls. Roll in paprika until en-
tirely covered. Put stems from
cherries or apples in end.
One never tires of Green Pep-
per Rings. These are made by
taking a sweet green pepper. Seed
it and fill with cream cheese
which has been softened with
cream. Chill and slice thin.
—o—
Cabbage
This is a common inexpensive
vegetable which can be used in
many ways. Besides plain boiled
cabbage, cold slaw and cabbage
salad. I have found two ways
which have made cabbage more
valuable to me.
round steak, ground and cooked
rice. Season well with salt and
pepper and onion. Wrap cooked
cabbage leaf or leaves (accord-
ing to size) around shaped meat.
Hold together with tooth picks.
Put in baking pan. Place butter
on top of each bird. Add a little
water and bake one hour.
-o-
Scalloped Cabbage Au Gratin
There are two, ways of fixing
this. Where one has an hour in
which to get dinner—then just:
Cut raw cabbage in pieces.
Put in buttered baking dish.
Place in alternate layers, pep-
per, bits of butter and cheese.
Cover cabbage with milk.
Place in oven and bake for
one hour.
But when one is fonder of
cream sauce foundations, scal-
loped cabbage can be prepared
by:
Boiling a small head of cab--
bage about twenty minutes. Place
in a buttered baking dish, alter-
nate layers of shredded cabbage
and cheese. Pour thick, seasoned
white sauce over all. On top place
dots of butter and cheese. A
pretty effect can be had by plac-
ing a daisy in the center. This is
made by slicing hard boiled eggs
lengthwise for petals. The thick
white sauce holds eggs in place.
Use yellow of egg for center of
daisy.

Although Mrs. Washington is al-
ways spoken of, and no doubt
with reason, as being a thorough
and conscientious home-keeper,
there is every evidence to show
according to the United States
George Washington Bicentennial
Commission, that President Wash-
ington relieved her of a consider-
able amount of responsibility con
nected with the management of
the executive household.
The house was in running order
when she arrived in New York,
a month following the first in
auguration. She had remained at
Mount Vernon to put that house
in order for a long absence, and
to collect and bring such treasures
and personal belongings as were
desired for their official home.
The first house the Washingtons
occupied in New York City, at
No. 3 Cherry street near what is
now one of the piers of Brooklyn
Bridge, soon proved too small, al-
though partitions had been taken
out between some of the rooms
to make more commodious quar-
ters for receiving.
When the Washingtons leased
the Macomb mansion, at 39 Broad-
way, it was the finest home in
town, and served until they re-
moved to Philadelphia, where they
were to occupy the Robert Mor-
ris residence. Washington’s let-
ters to his secretary, Tobias Lear,
at this time, show how conver
sant he was with the smallest de
tail of his household, and how
he planned and arranged for ev
erything which took place in it.
The “high cost of living” caus-
ed him no end of annoyance. He
complained to his secretary that
he could not see how families liv-
ing on $2500 or $3000 a year
could entertain more company, at
least more frequently, than he on
$25,000. He thought the servants’
table was faring altogether too
well, and stated that, from the
looks of the accounts, it seemed
that nothing was brought to his
table—the finest liquors, fruits
and other luxuries—which were
not used as profusely at the
servants’ table.
He wanted, too, to know that
the servants in his employ were
worthy of their hire, and wrote
Tobias Lear to ask if the wife of
the new butler who had been
engaged for the Philadelphia
house, could make desserts and
cakes. If she couldn’t he did not
propose to pay extra for her. The
previous steward, Fraunces. he
said, besides being an excellent

A Test of Vaccination
We have often heard people
say that they “would just as soon
have small-pox as be vaccinated.”
These people do not necessarily
belong to the anti-vaccinationists,
but probably, honestly believe
that they would suffer about as
much from the reaction of a sue
cessful vaccination as they would
from an attack of small-pox. Ap-
parently they base their belief on
the assumption that small-pox
is always mild. „
The occurrence of several out-
breaks of small-pox throughout
the country during the last four
or five years gives the impression
that the amount of this disease is
increasing. And the mortality
rates seem to indicate that it is
becoming more virulent in type.
Cites Value of Vaccination
Last February an epidemic
broke out in Windsor, Canada,
and spread to some of the sur-
rounding places. About the time
that the epidemic was over, the
health officer of the Canadian
municipalities which were involv-
ed, issued a report. This report
shows the effect which success-
ful vaccination had upon the oc-
currence and outcome of the dis-
ease.
Among those who had success-
ful vaccinations within the previ-
ous twelve years no small-pox
occurred.
No deaths occurred among those
who had been vaccinated success-
fully at any time during their
lives.
Only Mild Case*
The small-pox which did occur
among those who had been vac-
cinated successfully at any time
during their lives, was alwavs
mild.
Nurses who cared for the pa-
tients had no protection except
successful vaccination. None of
them contracted small-pox.
Among those who had never
been vaccinated successfully and
who contracted the disease, 71 per
cent died.
That small-pox is not always
mild, and that recent successful
vaccination protects against this
disease, are two things that were
demonstrated in the Windsor epi-
demic.
USING CHEAP COTTON
AS PAVING MATERIAL
Victoria Advocate: The editor
received a letter today from O.
B. Robertson, prominent business
man of Gonzales and former mem-
ber of the legislature, commend-
ing the suggestion for the in-
creased use of cotton as a solu-
tion of the overproduction prob-
lem. Mr. Robertson says the State
some samples have been removed
but no report has been made pub-
lic so far as he knows. "Cotton
may be good for this purpose and
we hope so,” he writes.
Dallas News: Cotton roads
would be good. and. from all we
hear, economical. The raw ma-
terial wouldn’t cost much. Paving
blocks have been made of many
kinds of materials—brick, rubber,
concrete, wood, paper and—in
heaven—gold. Why not give cot-
ton a decent trial? It has been
found useful in a hundred other
directions. Heretofore, cotton has
been too precious for paving
blocks, except in the panic years.
Now it is cheap enough for any
purpose, yet our engineers and
laboratory scientists are caught
unprepared fully to avail industry
of this plentiful and economical
raw material. The idea that cot-
ton is only for textile is too ab-
surd to be tolerated in this in-
genious age. There are five mil-
lion bales of low grade cotton
available right now for paper
making, if the paper makers were
ready to seize their chance.
RUTH NICHOLS SETS
NEW DISTANCE MARK
apparently had achieved her goaf,
a new distance record for women.
Airport officials said they were
positive she had flown more than
2,000 miles, although the sealed
instruments on the plane had not
been examined. The air mileage
from Oakland to Louisville is ap-
proximately 2,000 miles in a di-
rect line.
The present women’s distance
record of 1,810 miles is heftf by
Maryse Bastie, French woman.
The famous society flyer circled
her Lockheed-Vega monoplane
over Louisville almost an hour be-
fore landing. She planned to re-
fuel here and proceed to New
York in the morning.
Later the airport officials said
the barograph on the plane would
not be read here, but would be
forwarded to the Bureau of
Aeronautics at Washington. They
expressed confidence the flyer
had set a new distance record
for women.
The aviatrix herself refused tO'
see newspaper men or explain why
she landed here.
