paper proprietor. The Post-Dis-
patch Was the elder Pulitzer’s first
newspaper. He founded it in 1878
by buying and merging the St.
Louis Dispatch and the Post. It
made money from the start, and
in 1883 Pulitzer purchased the
New York World with the St. Louis
profits. He was a genius of Am-
erican journalism. He gave his
three sons daily drills in concen-
tration, industry and memory.
This strict training paid off for
the junior Pulitzer, he was endow-
ed with an unusual amount of
common sense, a capacity for
drudgery and patient study.
The Pulitzers are noted for their
gifts for educational purposes and
for the establishment of the “Pu-
litzer Literary Awards,” prizes
given yearly in the fields of jour-

And so will the woman who has
unfortunate complexion troubles.
It’s a wise idea to scrub your
face frequently to avoid black-
heads. The time to get after those
blackheads is when the first little
pore or two looks gray. If you take
measures soon enough you can
forestall their full grown appear-

Here are some cues for the
ie of "Mrs. Long on Church
If you’re planning Sunday din-
ner now, how about serving chick-
en? Broilers and fryers are two
plentiful foods in April, For broil-
ing, choose a chicken that weighs
between one and two pounds. And
here’s a tip for successful broiling:
place the chicken in the pie-heat-
ed broiling compartment so the
top of it is at least four inches
from the source of heat. Turn
every ten to fifteen minutes and
brush with fat until, the chicken
is thoroughly broiled. It takes be-
tween thirty and fifty minutes.
Broiled canned cling peach
halves are delicious served with a
rice and chicken loaf and a cooked
green vegetable.
For a tasty fruit compote, mix
fresh pears with cubes of red-
skinned apples and pieces of pine-
apple. The juice from the pine-
apple will keep the pear and apple
wdiite.
A half a can of condensed to-
mato soup beaten with three-
quarters of a cup of salad oil
makes a flavorful salad dressing.
Season to taste with sugar, salt,
pepper, dry mustard, horseradish,
Worcestershire sauce, and tabasco
sauce. Add a few slices of onion
to the dressing and refrigerate.
Creamed hard-cooked eggs and
potatoes make a hearty luncheon
dish. Sprinkle with paprika and
finely minced paisley for attract-
ive color. Serve over toast or split
hot biscuits.
Be prepared for canning time.
Get those gleaming jars ready
now. Jars that have had spoiled
food in them should be given
special attention, otherwise the
spoiled food of one year may cause
spoilage another year. These jam
should be thoroughly scrubbed
with a brush, hot water, strong
soap, and washing soda. The jars
should be covered with water con-
taining one-half cup of washing
street, honoring Mrs. E. W. Mas-
sey. their niece.
The reception rooms were taste-
fully decorated with a profusion
of spring flowers with the pink
and blue colors predominating.
Centering the dining room table
was a massive silver bowl filled
with pink carnations, white stock
and huge green caladium leaves
tied with green maline how. A
white linen cut-work cover was
used on the table which held the
crystal punch service and crystal
tiayi of pink and blue cookies.
Pink and blue napkins were also
usjp. Throughout the rooms were
arrangements of dogwood, pink
and blue hydrangea, and purple
iris and yellow jonquils. Guests
were given favors featuring the
stork theme.
During the party hours Mr*. W.
T. Waits was presented giving
two very appropriate poems which
she dedicated to the honoree.
Mrs. William Jack Worsham
presided at the guest book where
around thirty were registered
during the evening. Presiding at
the refreshment table was Miss
Mattie Lou Pogue.
