Since more bread is eaten in the

article Of food, it behooves us to have

in this era of strict pure food laws
-four will be adulterated. so it istup to
us to be able to test its purity for our
selves. The chief ingredients that are
mixed in -four are whiting and alum,
both of which can be discovered by
simple tests. To discover alum in
flour 1t is only necessary to remember
that it coagulates with milk. Soak a
piece of bread in water until 1t is en-
tirely dissolved, then put it on to boil
with an equal quantity of milk. If
there is any alum lurking around great
clots will be formed. Even simpler is
the test for whiting. Moisten the
thumb and first finger with a little
olive oil and rub between them a good
sized pinch of -four. If 1t turns brown,
but does not get sticky, its purity is
pretty certain. Writings presence
will be shown by sticky, pasty feel

Mrs. Farniente consulted her family

Acting on this advice, Mrs. FARM

began to use broom and buster her
self, thus bringing into play muscles
which had grown limp and fiabby from
disuse.
In the morning Mrs. Farniente made

and started her circulation. which had
been sluggish for years.
At the suggestion of her doctor she

her exercise.
For the first time In her life she be-

Anthropologists have remarked that
taking aim is a human characteristic
that even the anthropoid apes cannot
be said to share. Apes and monkeys
frequently throw nuts and sticks,
sometimes with unpleasant cOnse-

or no ability to take accurate aim. The
baboon is said to excel somewhat in
this respect, but still it would never
pass for a marksman. Accuracy of

bent Then he remembered Mrs O'Farrell's
quest to walk with his face up to the stars. AS he
raised his eyes, he Strengthened his shoulders and
drew long breath. 1t a wonderful night. all
softness and peace 1t made him think of the nights
when he used to go woOing Alsllnn O Rourke. The
moon was shining in the Lower Lake, a jewel
buried as deep in the waters his love for Aslinn
was in his soul. Under his breath he whispered
song Aisnn had loved. He hardly dared
think of her; but now for moment he let of
the old sweetness of his courtship ripple back into
his heart. He had thought she loved him, and then
Doyne had told him that Aislinn secretly prom
anger-and Aislinn had paid for fifteen years. He
did not think of his own wasted youth. He only
drew in long breaths of the soft night air and let
himself love Aslinn again
and then he paused. A figure in white stood near
the rath; another, shrouded in dark cloak sat
beside it, bowed and wailing and down the road

the wailing of the dark figure, and then the

voice:

1t was a light enough
return for what Michael had
suffered. He cast Doyne
aside and went up to the
rath where Aislinn stood.
Long and long he gazed at
her. as if he would have
atoned for fifteen years Of
hunger. And Aislinn S grave
face broke into a rare and
loving smile,-not the teas

of the old days, but the
smile of a woman who had
loved and trusted and
waited alone.

Then he looked uneasilv at the others He had
enjoyed their company far; but he

But the neighbors seemed unwilling to take any
hints There they stood, moist eyed and open

his proposal.
