We may live without poetry, music and
art,
We may live without conscience and live
without heart;
We may llve without friends; we may
live without books;
But civilized man cannot live without
cooks.
He may live without books-what is
knowledge but grieving2
He may live without hope--what is hope
but deceiVing?
He may live without love-what is pas
SION but pining2
But whereas the man that can live with

Honey possesses a great many medi-
cinal and nutrtive qualities. and should
be eaten more frequently than it is, as
rule, it is only taken occasionally,
perhaps but three or four times in the
course of several months. If parents
could be made to understand it's real
value they would probably buy 1t Of
tener, and have it take the place OF the
candy and sugar that is daily eaten by
our Wheeling children. There was a
statment, however, going the rounds
very recently to the effect that even
honey in the comb was adulterated to
certain extent, and that the cells
were initiated in paraffin. But experts
refute this statement, saying that 1t is
an utter impossibility to initiate the
comb. So the housewife may ease her
judgment on this point and remember
that when she is buying honey in the
comb she is getting the pure honey
gathered from the flowers. One
authority, upon hearing about the
statement, said: When the delicate
texture and fragile nature Of honey
comb, as made by bees, are realized. il
will be easy to understand that 1t IL a.
mechanical impossibility to make an
article in imitation OF it that cannot
be readily detected. The limit OF me-
chanical ingenuity up 10 the present
time seems 10 have been reached when
the septum, or base OF the cells. Is
made OF wax, on which the bees will
construct cells and complete the
comb. This is called foundation By
the trade, and IL is made so thin that
it can scarcely be detected from the
natural septum made by the bees.
Paraffin, however, is never used for
this purpose, because this wax meIts

The heat of the colony will melt it,

also impracticable 10 assert that gIu-

stored in the comb. Bees will not
touch glucose syrup unless starving.

Sausage and buckwheat cakes make
fine breakfast dish and are espec-
tally favored at this time of the year.
