Give Your Party Foods E_ That "Different‘" Touch A‘Little Special Care and Thought will Make the Enterâ€" More Successful, while at the Same Time the Expense will Actually be Lessened for the Event. <1If you look back over your party experiences,: which are the ones you remember? Whyâ€"of courseâ€"the ones that were different. When I first began to go to parties, menus were perfectly stereotyped. For a bridge party of the formal type there must be cold ham, cold tongu«, chicken salad, potato croquettes, pickled Dewhfe hot rolls, brown bread, coffeéee, lce-cream and cake. This "simple litâ€" tle menu‘"‘ was served at fourâ€"thirty or five in the afternoon, after which you went home to your usual dinner.

Among my friends are a young Couâ€" ple exceedingly popular with a group, most of whom are older and better esâ€" tablished financially. Yet this couple kave made a reputation for themselves as host and hostess, because, instead of trying to compete with their friends, they entertain in a different way. Beâ€" ing from New England they ask their friends to cnjoy with them typical New England food, and their supper parties cf -tish cakes; baked beans and brown bread, and their chowder parties have famous. Ancther friend of mine is of southern parentage ang she has made a reputaâ€" tion for her parties with her fried chicken, candisd sweet potatoes, spoon bread and lemon souffle pie. Of course, I do not mean to say that parties following the general rule will not be successful. They can get their criginality from the inclusion of one or two novel touches in one or more courses. For instance, a hot mushroom canape for a first course, and baked tongue with blackberry jelly for a main course or the novel combination of string beans and celery dressed with cream for a vegetable, or special toâ€" mato dressing for the crisp lettuce salad, or a dessert of lemon ice flavoreq with minted cherries.

(Copyright 1935, by the Bell Syndi In last week‘s issue of The Advance, the danger of allowing detonators to be left lying around where they might fall into the hands of children was emphaâ€" sized. Th natural impulse of youngâ€" sters se:ms to be to pound anything that is found and appears to have no other particular use. Blasting caps, even as at present made, won‘t be pounded unmercifully withcut exploding in most cases. It is true that instances have been known, evin in Timmins mines, of detonators being crushed without explodlng but this is unusual. Refinements have made a difference. The old style blasting cap was conâ€" taineg in a copper tube about one and a half inches in length and a quarter 3f an inch in diameter. The explosive content of the tube was fulminate of mercury and this substance reâ€"acted very decisively to shock. The modern tube is aluminum and two charges are contained in it. The initial one is a mixture of lead azide and lead styprate to the amount of two grains and the "base" charge is five grains of tetryl. This apparently minute amount _ of â€" explosive, seven grains, is in reality very powerful and has in, more cases than one caused death to thoss whoâ€"have used it imâ€" preperly. The reason the change was made from ccpper to aluminum was in part due to the fact that copper will comâ€" bine with the contents of the tube to form cupric azide, a more sensitive ccmpound. ~Aluminum does not react with the three other explosives. To the layman, detonators imight seem a thoroughâ€"going nuisance, but if an evil while left lying about unused, detcnators arse ngecessary. Dynamite and most other explosives in use now are not set off with a mere fuse. They require sometkhing that causes more. heat to ignite the blasting compounds. This is the prime function of a blastâ€" ing cap, or detonator as they are known to the trade. 5 Evolution of Blastâ€" The evolution of .the qgetonator has they became somewhat harder to set off. This necessitated a detonator havyâ€" Ing a better "flash," yet even detonâ€" ators must be made to store for long periods of time and not be liable to explode with ordinary handling. The Department of Mines of Canada mainâ€" tains a very strict supervision over the manufacture of all explosives, from crdinary gunpowder to the highly senâ€" sitive ones used in blasting caps and highâ€"powered shells Manufacture of blasting agents is now confined to one firm in Canada, so that government supervision is much simplified. All imâ€" ported materials are carefully examined before being permitted to go on sale here. In additiion to ordinary detonators set in action by a fuse, there are elecâ€" trically operated ones that can be timed. These are somewhat longer and the length varies with the delay of the action. Into the top of the tube, two wires are led that go down into a loosely packed mixture. The leads are bridged by a very fine wire. When current is supplied, the fine wire beâ€" comes req hot and ignites the materia) around it. In the tube designed for imâ€" mediate explosion, this flash ignites the highly explosive powder in the base, which in turn bursts the tube and igâ€" nites the big charge that does the acâ€" tual blasting. Delay in the final action of the detonator is accomplished through the introduction of a comâ€" paratively slow burning material, beâ€" fore the high explosive is fired. At present there is a suggestion made that all who do blasting, more especialâ€" ly those who work above the surface of the earth, should have permits, skhowing that they are qualifieq to be "shot" men. The test would probably be a simple one, and in this day and age when there is a definite shortage of trained powder men, would be inâ€" valuable to employers and an added prctection to the public. One of the first questions asked of a permit applicant should be "Do you leave qgetonators around where it is pessible for children or others. who do not know their uses to reach them?" In that way the terrific toll of life and limb taken each year by blasting cap accidents might be partially preâ€" vented. Diritrophenel <Reduces Weight in a Similar Manmr to Exercise Most of: the heavyweight wrestlers take off from 4 to 12 pounds during a half or full bout, but as they usually wrestle three to five times each week, they must get this lost weight back before the next bout, otherwise they would become thin and stale. As they are usually hearty eaters they have no difficulty in keeiping their weight up to the desireq point. In fact most of them carry an extra 6 to 10 pounds to prevent getting "fine" or stale. However, my point is that if a half to an hour‘s exercise and modern wrestling while spectacular and enterâ€" taining, is not harder than other games, will take this much weight off athletes in good condition, how valuable then it must be to those who are greatly overweight if they are willing to take exercise. The first tissue that exercise goes after to burn up is fat. This is because fat is not an active tissue like other body tissues, but simply stored food or fuel as it were. ' Now there are certain individuals who cannot take exercise for various reasons and as their weight must be reduced for safety‘s sake, some physiâ€" cians are using the rnew drug dinitroâ€" phenol because its effects are more nearly like exercises than any other drug. By James W. Barton, M.D., Toronto Experiments on men and animals show that the rate at which the body processes can be made to act by diniâ€" trophenol may pe five times the normal rate, whereas a safe amount of exerâ€" cise cannot more than double the rate. In a dog under dinitrophenol the body action rate goes up five times and the animal shows evidence of beâ€" ing very warm. This continues for some hours. By next day the dog will be normal again and will have lost conâ€" siderable weight. * Dr. J. Markowitz, Toronto, who reâ€" ports 90 cases of overweight treated by dinitrophenol points out that there are some cases where thyroid extract is the proper treatment because the overâ€" weight is due to the thyroid gland not manufacturing enough thyroid juice. But in cases where the thyroid gland is not at fault, thyroid extract does harm by making all the body proâ€" cesses (including the heart) work too fast and yet does m» reduce weight. He advises therefore that in those cases where reducing the food does not reâ€" duce the weight, small doses of diniâ€" trophenol be given over a long period of time as it greatly resembles exerâ€" cise in its effects.

T‘hey‘re l;eau {/* bars. First they were makeâ€"up bars, These have sprung up everywhere. In the toilet goods departments and in the beauty salons of leading stores throughâ€" out the country. The woman who says, "but I don‘t know what rouge or lipâ€" stick to use or how to apply it," or the woman who flits from X makeâ€"up to 2 makeâ€"up without a definite idea of how to make the most of that makeâ€"up has herself to thank. These makeâ€"up bars are equipped with mirrors, chairs or stools and best of all with operators who know a thing or two about makeâ€"up and colours. The mirrors, by the way, are often the cruel, revealing, magnifying type that tell a tale and send a woman hurryâ€" ing home to do right by her face. or they may be the new type electric mirâ€" rors that throw ample light on the subâ€" ject.

It‘s all scientific enough to convince ithe sourests of male skeptics And we‘re ready â€" to wager that if the lesson thus learned at the bar is carried home and perâ€" severingly practised, there‘ll be plenty of ohs and ahs from those males, in spite of themselves. : â€"Unless you‘re very shy about seeking such advice (in which case, do write me) it is well worth spending little time at these bars. Service is quite without charge in the majority of them. The operator will show you the shade of rouge, powder, lipstick, shadow and so on that suits you best or harmonâ€" izes with the particular costume you‘re wearing and in addition she may even apply it for you, showing you how to blend and how to create optical illusâ€" ions to make your face broader Or longâ€" er and call attention to your best feaâ€" tures.
