How to Stop Drinking.

William Penn's keen understanding was
often directed toward drunkenness. "AL
excess is ill., he wrote, but drunkenness
is of the worst sort In fine, he that is
drunk is not man, because he is so long
void of reason, that distinguishes man
from a beast"
But if Penn was the living spirit o}
aphorism he also knew when and how ta
apply his maxims. Given drunkard, he
could treat his case in a characteristic yet
plain andsreasonabie way.
He was once advising a man to leave of
his habit of drinking intoxicating liquors.
Can you tell me how to do it?" said
the slave of the appetite.
Yes" answered Penn. at is just as
easy as to open thy hand, friend"
Convince me of that, and | will prom
Use upon my honor to do as you tell me-

ker, when thou findest any vessel of in
toxicating liquor in thy hand, open the
hand that grasps it before it reaches thy
mouth, and thou wilt never be drunk

THE TIME-HoNoRED BUcKWHEAT.

Passing of the Favorite Cake by REASON
of Adulterated Flour.
"The time-honored and historic
buckwheat cake is not what it used
to be, and each year the demand for
the cake of our daddies is growing
less" said the manager of one of
Washington's busy lunch rooms to
Star reporter.
Most of the orders we receive for
cakes are for wheat cakes. Once
upon time 1t was the buckwheat
cake that had the call ten to one.
Now the expressive order of 'one up
means three circular layers of wheat
batter on the griddle. If the batter is
to come out of the buckwheat pitcher
it's one buckwheat'
And it's going out of family use,
too. very extensively. Why? Because
of the discovery by unscrupulous mill
ers that bran and the by-products Of
the mill, which are practically COM
mercially worthless as compared with
the genuine flour make a good filler
and are rapid money makers to the
dealers who practice the deception.
THE result is that there is com.
paratively little genuine buckwheat
flour sold! that is, absolutely pure. be-
cause it is so very easy to adulterate
without detection. The public, how
ever, after years Of submission, found
that there was something wrong with
its buckwheat cakes as to the taste,
and, once the discovery was made, the
-four was gradually discarded as a
product of regular use. The demand
falling off. the farmer lessened his
acreage, the miller increased his pro-
portion of bran and the man who used
to eat buckwheat cakes every morning
for breakfast spread his maple syrup
upon the baked surface of some other
kind of -four.
MY observations on the adultera
ton of buckwheat -four are called up
by reason of the fight The Star has
made in Washington for pure foods
and breadstuffs. The public, in pay.
ing full price demanded by producers,
is entitled to purchase precisely what
it asks for. OF course. all dealers are
not dishonest. but in the case in point
if one miller in 10 adulterates his -four
all of his patrons are the sufferers.
"It is but equitable that stringent
laws be passed for the preservation OF
the purity of what we eat. and these
acts should be as strictly enforced and
the guilty made to make amends.
There was a time when nearly every
farmer had his patch of buckwheat,
but one rarely sees now fields of the
beautiful white blossoms which this
wheat produces when in flower. Pure
buckwheat flour made into cakes has
peculiar and attractive flavor, which
Is DESTROYED by the addition of cheap,
non-nutritive, tasteless bran"

BURIED THOUGHTS

How often does the chopper of sopss
stone,
While toiling at his task Of heave and
shock,
Find in the heart-space of a severed
rock
The impress of some fern that once had
grown,
Full of aspiring life and color-tone,
Deep in the forest where the shadows
flock,
Till, caught within the adamantine
block,
1t lay for ages hidden and unknown!
So many beautious thought blooms in
the mind,
But, unexpressed, droops down into the
soul
And lies unuttered in the silence there
Until some opener of the soul shall find
That fern-like. fossled dream, complete
and whole,
And marvel at its beauty past compare!
