How to Make II and How Not to Make
It-Some Bright, Chatty Letters On

How to Make II and How Not to Make
I-Some Bright, Chatty Letters On
the Subject.
Gordon F. Reed, of Williamsport,
Pa, writes as follows:
Your issue of Jan. % contains a
| facetious editorial concerning Pennsyl-
vania scrappie, and closes with re-
quest for information about it.
| First, let me say that the whole
some and nutritious conglOmeration
known to English speaking people as
scrapple, is not the favorite pabulum of
the inhabitants of this State in general
| but was introduced and used by the
peculiar people known as the Pennsyl-
vania Dutch. whose descendants con-
stitute a large portion of the population
| in the southeastern section of the State
and form an important factor in the
population of the Western States from
Ohio to the Missouri River.
Outside of Philadelphia the State
was settled largely by immigrants from
southern Germany. These pioneers, who
subdued the forests and made the will
| derness blossom as the rose, were hardy,
Industrious and frugal With them
| laZness was crime and extravaganza
a form of insanity. They suffered moth
| ing to go to waste that could possibly
be utilized, and so it comes about that
scrapple is one of the Incidental prod
ucts of butchering time.
"The good old Dutch name of this
preparation is 'panhaus' pronounced
ponhoss), and is the result of making
| leverwurst,' a kind of sausage made
| from the heads, livers, kidneys, ETC., of
the slaughtered animals. These were
boiled together in large kettles until
| tender, then ground and forced into
cases, again boiled and filed away for
future reference The juices remain
ing from the two boilings could not be
thrown away. These people knew,
| without the aid of a Wiley, that the
fluid contained the most nutritious and
digestible elements of the constituents,
SO they were thickened with cornmeaI
and buckwheat -four, and poured into
pans to harden. This, properly pre-
pared in conjunction with hot buck
wheat cakes and hard cider constituted
repast fit for King or a hobo.
"The stuff made and sold on our mar
kets as scrappIe is mighty poor imi-
tation of an imitation 1t is lament
able example of degeneration. If the
Chester County man has evolved the
real, old-fashioned article he has re-
stored one of the lost arts. He is en-
titled to and is hereby rendered the
thanks of grateful Nation"
The National tribune., 1908-03-04

Now, what do you think of this? AL
ways new wrinkle from the youns
woman of faculty" who knows how tt
do everything the incest and easies
way. Rice, she says, makes the bes
possible filling for a fancy pincushion
as it holds it's shape well and takes the
pins easily.
The National tribune., 1908-03-04

Great harm is done to the skin by
the use of a powder which contains
mineral substance in a large degree
Lead, arsenic. mercury and bismuth are
all active poisons, and their continued
use is most injurious. The presence of
sugar of lead in any cosmetic prepara-
ton can be detected by testing it with
ammonia, which will turn it black.

J. Redmond Rogers Dead.

J. K. Rogers, who was one of the
oldest settlets of our Cooked Creek
section, died on the second inst, of a
general break down, due TO old age,
he was in his Ssth year.
Mr., Rogers was a bachelor and
leaves no relatives nearer than a
brother and a brothers children,
Although his brother', Jess NJ Rog-
ers, of Corpus Christi, Texas, was
Fastening in response to a telegram
announcing his death, he did not
arrive until after the funeral, at
which not a single relative of the
deceased was present
Deceased was born in Tennessee
and came to this country overland
in the early fort,es, settling near
where he died, In 1S49 he Joined
the rush to California, where he
made a small fortune in mining, re.
turning in 1888 to make this his
final home.
He was a man of extremely quiet
turn, but Of fine mind. Few, even
Of his neighbors knew of his cx-
tended information and his deep
thought. A consistent member OF
the M. L. South Church, he was
promptly and scrupulously honest
in all his business transactions, and
a hrst.class citizen in every respect.
His brother, J NJ. Rogers, has
taken charge OF all his affairs and
will probably make his home once
more on the old farm near Gather,

Does Not Grow Wiser.

The world does not grow wiser as
it grows older. There are certain
errors of calculation, based on q
mistaken estimate of human nature,
which repeat themselves with each
generation, though they have been
found out, exposed, labeled and
widely announced five thousand
times. Such, for example, is the case
of the sanguine young woman who
marries a rake for the purpose OF re.
forming him. Such is the case OF the
father who takes his indolent and
shittless son into business, expecting
that responsibility will steady him,
Such is the case of the church which
elects a person to Office in order to
secure his active interest in the work
Of the church. Such is the case Of
the old people who make over their
property to their children, hoping to
enjoy the proofs of their gratitude
through the declining years OF their
life. These things all work one way,
perhaps an exception so rare as to be
quite undeserving of attention, and
their method and result pretty gen
orally known; and yet, such is the
conceit of men that almost all who
try the experiment believe that they
by reason OF superior sagacity will
be able to do what thousands Of
others wfuIly failed to accom-.
dish
