Pie That Blows Up.

Commenting on he explosion of huekleberry pie in a Paterson N. u boarding house few days ago the Washington Star has this 10 say: Many warnings have been promulgated against pastry. Some persons regard it with such timidity. nay terror that they would have it baked in a bomb-proof served under cover Of red flag and have lanterns hung on it after sunset. Some persons consider pastry such menace 10 society that they would n9 sooner think Of engorgiug themselves with II than to dispute the right Of way with q naughty chauffeur They have weak knees and weak stomachs. Perhaps as many uneomplimentary and insanitary things have been said about pastry as have been said abotu hash and the num- have been said about hash, and the num- equaled by the number Of things in hash. T. Is hoped that the things Tn hash sre more becoming. polite and decorous than the things said about it But of this one cannot be certain. There Is always more or less uncertainty in the matter of hash. But pastry, despite the earping Of dietetic ensationalists. digestion ca lamitists and stomachie pes.smists, con- tinues 10 be an American institution, and in the eyes of some patriots whose patriotism is as sensitive as soft corn. 'tis treason to say bah or fudge or to use other disrespectful or diseordant speech against an American institution. of course those traitors who reproach the American institution of pastry have certain facts 10 encourage them II used 10 be thought highly un-American to protest against splitting on the side walk. and Fourth of July crackers. crushers. busters and other toys Of dis memberment were things saerosauCt.

So it may be that men may protest against certain kinds of pastry without being convicted of felony CT contempt Of pie The opponents of pas try oaly admit three kinds of pastry. first, the kind that mother used 10 make. second the kind that cannot be eaten, and, third the kind that should Tot be eaten

The Public School.

The Kansas City Journal thus states a view of the broader function of the public schools "Of late years, par ;icularly here in kansas City, it has come to be recognized that education is as important in the building up of character as in the development of the brain. Character building. which was formerly supposed to be the province Is now a distinctive feature of the pub lie schools. This is very for, unate thing for the coming generation; at tendance al Sunday school is not as general as it might be, and even then Is limited 10 one day in the week. Moreover. the public school offers the only opportunity for the development of character in many children whose home environment is not of the best
 Too often the indifference or ignor- ance of the parents reduces the child $ chances to grow in character at home to negative quantity. And where the parents lack character the child $ case is as hopeless as that a stream can rise above its source. Character building in the public schools makes for higher standard of citizenship in the nation. IL is carrying out the ideas of the patriotic forefathers who planned the couniry's institutions.

Food Economy.

Economy in food does not imply pro- hibititon IL is neither vegetarianism
 fruitarianism. nutarianism. or any Kind of ism" It means, writes the author of Economy in Food. n Cen fury. simply temperance in diet. with the application of available scientific knowledge the use of reason and intel ligence. combined with a due apprecia- ton of the dignity of the body and the necessity of meeting the daily wants without imperiling that high degree of efficiency which helps 10 render man physically and mentally supreme. Prac- tieally this implies the avoidance of large quantities of pro;eid food so com monly used by civilized man. with the substitution of a dietary characterized by predomiaance of the shter vegeta- ble foods In this respect il leans some what toward yegetarianism The heavier meats of our daily diet can be simultaneously replaced in part by lighter articles of diet less rich in pro teid and with more frequent addition of green vegetables, fruits and correspond ing articles of food less prone to yield objectionable decomposition products.

Raising olts.

The full. well rounded development of col; depends principally upon it's feed during the first year and half of it's life. If the mare is a good miller the colt gets started naturally. but many mares are not gcod milkers and the colt requires additional feeding at an early age. In order 10 raise valua- bic colts it is necessary to watch their progress. It is easy 10 see when colt is doing well. A stunted colt never makes a good horse It is folly to go 10 the trouble and expense of raising colt and neglect proper feeding. as this is the finishing without which the greater time money and lator praetie- ally are thrown away.-Farmers Home Journal
