A WINNING START.
A Perfectly DigeSted Breakfast
Makes Nerve Force for the Day.

Everything goes wrong if the break
fast lies in your stomach like mud
pie What you eat does harm if you
can't digest tit turns to poison.
A bright lady teacher found this TO
be true, even of an ordinary light
breakfast of eggs and toast. She says:
1.-Two, years ago | contracted very
annoying form of indigestion. My stom-
ach was in such condition that sim
pie breakfast of fruit, toast and egg
gave me great distress.
Il was slow to believe that trouble
could come from such a simple diet,
but finally had to give it up, and found
a great change upon a cup of hot
Postum and Grape-Nuts with cream, for
my morning meal. For more than n
year | have held to this course and
have not suffered except when injuai-
ciously varying my diet
Il have been teacher for several
years and find that my easily digested
breakfast means saving of nervous
force for the entire day. My gain Of
ten pounds in weight also causes NE to
want to testify to the value Of Grape
Nuts.

table"

MOHAMMED'S BLOODY HAND.
History of the Imprint On a Pillar in the
Church of St Sophia

In the course of our explorations i'll
ConstantinOple, says n writer in the Ro-
sary Magazine, we visited Il building in
an obscure and poor quarter of Stambul
inhabited solely by Mohammedans.
II is called the Mosque Kahrie, but it
is or was a church dedicated to the
blessed Virgin. The beauty of the
mosque ceiling and walls not even cen
turtles of neglect have been able to
obliterate.
When we returned to the great Church
of st. Sophia, now q mosque, and saw
again the print of the bloody hand of
Mohammed, which is pointed out high
church, we understood its significance
better than we had at first sight.
Mohammed IL, after advancing his
outFosts gradually and stealthiIy, had
finally, as if in a night. crossed the Bos-
phorus from Asia and raised his forts
on the European side of the stream. Just
the day before, ON a trip up the Bos-
phorus, we had seen the ruins of those
Notifications.
The rulers of the city had protested in
vain against this encroachment. When
the AIoslemS finally attacked the city
the Christians fled in terror to st. So
phia. An ancient legend, firmly believed
promised that this sanctuary was abso-
lutely safe.
Mohammed proved the fallacy of their
trust by breaking down the doors, MUIR
dering those who had sought safety
there, men, women and chldren-so
many OF them that, finally, forcing his
horse over the great pile of dead bodies,
away up on the side of pillar ne
planted his bloody hand on the clear wall
in token of his victory over the Chris
tians. That CORY hand still overshadows
the fairest portion of southeastern
Europe.

short SuggestiOns,

Although hunger is the best sauce"
a daintily garnished dish is the next
best.
Biscuits require much more heat to
bake than bread, so heat your oven lc-
cordingly.
When cold lamb IS to be used up try
hashing it with green peppers and fry
ing it in butter.
Chocolate and cocoa stains can be re-
moved by washing the fabric with soap
in tepid water.
Toast is much improved If melted
butter is poured over it, instead of
spreading it with cold butter.
If hooks for bathroom. kitchen and
pantry are dipped in enamel paint there
vii be no trouble from iron rust.
When peeling onions begin at the
root and peel upward and the onions
will affect the eye scarcely at ALL
Try filling the cavity of the apples
cored for baking with orange marina
lade and a little butter and sugar.
A tablespoon Of paraffin added to
each three gallons of water when boil
ing white clothes will help to remove
the stains.
If clothes are hung On the line neat
II and smoothly much labor will be
saved when the time for ironing comes.
Add a pinch of salt to cream before
whipping it and whip it in a pitcher,
as it will whip more quickly than in a

sharpening knives and keep the knives
in good condition. Good tools make
rapid work.

The establishment of creamerieS has
done much to put the dairy business
on stable and profitable basis, as well
as to provide consumers with a uni
form quality Of good butter The in
PRODUCTION of the hand separator, by
enabling the farmer to feed skim-milk
in prime condition and minimizing
transportation expense, has also done
much for the business. This has not
been without drawback, however, in
that the separated cream IS not always
kept under proper conditions, and that
delivered to the creameries differs
greatly in quality. When all are paid
the same rate for butter fat there is
no incentive to careful preservation of
the cream. At the experiment station,
Manhattan, Kan, system of grading
cream was adopted about two years
ago, the prices paid varying with the
quality of the cream. This has resulted
in great improvement in the cream de
livered and enables the butter maker
to do his part better. Bulletin Ne. 135,
"Grading Cream" treats of this sub
ject, and can be obtained by addressing
the station as above.

Dangerous Corn Pest.

The cornstalk borer has infested va
riOus parts Of the county for many
years, but has not done great damage
in most parts Of the corn belt. 1t has
begun to appear in Iowa and Kansas in
the last two or three years.
1t is large, white, brown-spotted
caterpillar which bores into stalk Of
young corn. When fully grown it bur
rows down into the tap-GOOt, and in
the spring transforms to a pupa, from
which the adult soon energies and lays
its eggs on the young corn near the AK
lis.
The young larvae Matching from them
bore into the stalk and upward through
the pith When fully grown they bore
outWardS to the surface, making Il hole,
from which the moth escapes and trans
forms to pupa in the burrow This in
sect is tWO-brOoded, the second brood
feeding on the old stalks, generally be
tween the second joint and the ground,
and becoming full grown about harvest
time, when they go into winter quar-
tiers.
When corn was seriously infested
last year and the stalks left standing
second infestation may be expected
this year unless the farmer has raked
and burned, method which we have
always suggested when the cornstalks

The Antiquity of an Egg.

A simple method of finding out the
age Of an egg. says the Agricultural
Epitomist, is by means of the air space
which is situated toward the broad end
of the shell. If the egg is held up
between the hands before a light in a
dark room the air space can be easily
discerned. and by its size the age can
be determined. In a perfectly fresh
egg the air space is very small. but
as age increases it extends until when
the egg is three weeks old the air
space occupies about a sixth OF the
entire contents. With practice the age
can be told to within twenty-four hours.
