"His Diary

Mighty nice to be back again with all my old pals - especially this SHEAFFER Pen. It's a darb! I never flunked an exam with it last year - it never fails me. I notice everybody worth knowing writes with a SHEAFFER. There's a freshman girl using one right now - a good excuse to get acquainted.

Her Diary

Everybody's so strange. I've got my friendly, realiable SHEAFFER Pencil. It's my only connection with home. Looks like a nice upper-classman opposite. He uses a SHEAFFER, too. Hope he speaks to me. We'll talk about SHEAFFER Pens - that's one good thing we have in common.

Wesson Oil Makes Delicious Pie Crust

Mrs. Boyd makes the best pies we ever tasted. She sends us this recipe for pie crust, with the comment that she never knew it to fail.

Sift into a missing bowl one and one-half cups of flour and one-half teaspoon of baking powder (made one-third soda, two-thirds cream of tartar). Make a depression in the centre. Into this pour a half cup of Wesson Oil and one-half cup of very cold (or ice) water. Add a pinch of salt. Mix quickly with a fork and divide in two portions. Do not knead, but roll on a well-floured board, spread on pans, fill and bake at once in a quick oven.

The ingredients should be cold, and do not knead of re-roll. The dough must not stand, but the whole process be completed as rapidly as possible."

ScotTissue has made a place for itself in wellconducted homes. It is the choice of discriminating women everywhere, because of its hygienic purity and safety.

A highly-absorbent, snow-white, soothing tissue, marvelously soft as fine old linen. Kind to the most sensitive skin. Peculiarly adapted to the needs of women of intuitive daintiness. Ask your doctor.

No conversation. Just say 'ScotTissue' to your storekeeper and receive a big, economical, dustproof roll."
