Ijottueo. thin slices of roast chicken
;crisp bacon and a slice of tomato make
a delicious combination. Tiiikv fish
separated Into flakes may be used In-
stead of tho chicken, also cold roast
pork or veal.
Another combination consists of
.hard cooked egg, sliced or minced, a
'thin slice of ham, a leaf of lettuce and
shredded sweet pepper are almost as
igood. Mincer celery may be one of Ihe
Ingredients and combines well with
almost everything. It Is espeolaly good
when added to the hot roast beef sand-
wich often supplies a dish for Ihe
,home luncheon nnd Is about, as popu-
lar as the restaurant dish.
The hoi sandwich often becomes an
"open faced" sandwich with the slice
of mont on one piece of bread and flu
gravy on tho other. A cold sandwich,
consisting of two slices of bread, each
with lettuce upon It and hard cook-
ed egg. chicken or other salad up on
the other, and a mayonnlse dressing
for an nccompanlment, is made in a
similar way.

To "I'nolo'' Lltidsey Wilson, negro,
who recently celebrated his 112th.
birthday at Kurmersville, belongs the
distinction, if is believed, of being th«
oldest. living person in the United
Slates army.
"Unelo" Lindsoy, who was born In
Saline county Missouri, January 2,
1809 served two years durln the Civil
War In the 10th Illinois Infantry.
During the battle of Big Creek Ark-
ansas he wns wounded and later was
separated rrom his command. He
never rejoined the troops and for that
reason he has never been given a dis-
charge from ihe army.
"Uncle" Lindsoy attributes bis long
hold on life to hard work, plenty Of
sleep and the fnct that he "minds bis
I own business." Ho lias lived in Col-
lin county for about forty years and
lis still active. Years ago ho lived In
! McKlnney. Despite his advanced
years he has never worn glasses and
' I is eyesight Is still good. He lias
used tobacco more than 100 years.
"Keep your mind free from worry
jnnd don't meddle with other folks'
business" is his advice to health seek,
ers.

jotisly injured but boon use of his rug-
ged constitution he soon recovered,
