Nor can’t &apnt him happiest who has Sever Been forced with his own hand his chains to sever. Arid for himself find out the way divine; He never knew the aspirer’s glorious pains. He never earned the struggler’s priceless ___....... gains. —Lowell. Serve a Salad Every Day. The simple green, crisp salads which In many localities may be had for the gathering, are the best of blood tonics In the spring time. Water cress, dandelion greens, young onions, lettuce and radishes are all obtainable in most places. Where there Is running water from a spring (not too rapid) one may set out plants of water cress and leave a salad for future generations to enjoy. A simple French dressing Is generally liked for these crisp, green salads; take one tablespoonful of good vinegar and three of the best olive oil, salt, a little sugar and pepper to taste. Corn oils are also good If olive oil is not to be obtained. Beet and Potato Salad. Cut six cooked beets and six potatoes In small balls with a French vegetable cutter. The bits of leftovers may be used In hash or in a meat loaf. Put- the potatoes In a good dressing, either mayonnaise or boiled dressing, but well seasoned; add one cupful of chopped chives and olives mixed. Garnish with the best balls dipped in vinegar.
