Excellent BARLEY Mater.

Wipe very clean, by rolling it in a
soft cloth, two tablespoonfuls of pearl
barley; put it into quart jug, with
a lump or two of sugar, grain or two
of salt and strip of lemon peel, cut
thin; fill up the jug with boiling water
and keep the mixture gently stirred
for some minutes, then cover it and
let it stand until perfectly cold. In Il
hours, or less, it will be fit for use, but
it is better when made over night II
these directions be followed, the bar
ley water will be comparatively clear
and very soft and pleasant to drink
After the barley water has beer
poured off once, the jug may be filled
with boiling water a second time, ii

MAKES A GOOD SALAD BORDER
Rice, with Flavorins Ingredients, Goes
Well with Any of the Seasons
Light Dishes.

Wash thoroughly three ounces of
rice, then put 1t into saucepan, cover
it generously with water and bring to
boiling point; then strain off the wa
ter, wash the rice well in cold water,
return it to the pan with one pint of
milk, add a bay leaf, an onion stuck
with two cloves, salt and red pepper
to taste.
Cook very gently till the rice is ten
der and the liquid is reduced to one
gill, then lift out the bay leaf and the
onion and dissolve in the rice half a
teaspoonful of powdered gelatine.
When this is perfectly dissolved
turn the whole into a basin and when
cool mix in lightly half a cupful of
stiffly whipped cream.
Have ready plain border ring mold

with tiny sprigs of parsley and pap
rika; then pour the rice into this, let
it set, then turn out on to a dainty
dish and serve with any delicate salad
and chopped aspic jelly.

The complete success of the new
fuel while on the 2650-mile public
test and the advantages gained
through its use were well described
in the following dispatch which the
correspondent of the New York Sun
sent to his paper at the conclusion of
the tour:
"A feature of the tour which was
watched with special interest was
that the White Steamer used kero-
sene, or coal OIL as fuel instead of
gasoline. The new fuel worked
splendidly throughout the 2650-mile
journey, and all claims made in its
behalf were fully proven. First of
all, as regards cheapness, the White
driver secured kerosene all along the
route from 6 cents to 10 cents cheap
er per gallon than was paid for gaso-
line. Secondly, the new fuel was
handled without any precautions, and
it was not unusual to see kerosene
being poured into the fuel tank while
the crew of the car and an interested
crowd stood by with lighted cigars
and cigarettes. At the finish of the
tour, the White was the only car per-
mitted by the authorities to enter
Convention Hall, where the technical
examination took place, without
draining its fuel tank. Thirdly, the
new fuel proved to be absolutely
without smoke or smell. Fourthly,
kerosene could be purchased at what
ever part of the route was most con-
venient, and not once during the trip
through the ten States of the Middle
West was there found a grocery store
where kerosene was not readily and
cheaply obtainable. Finally, the

Now take the strained juice of half

The most interesting announce
ment ever made in connection with
the automobile industry was I'M
doubtedly that made month or two
ago to the effect that the new models
of the White Steam Cars could be run
on kerosene, or coal oil, instead of
gasoline. Everyone at once recog-
nized that the use of the new fuel
would add materially to the advan-
tages which the White already pos
sessed over other types of cars.
There were some people, however,
who were sceptical as to whether or
not the new fuel could be used with
complete success, and, therefore, the
makers of the White Car, the White
Company, of Cleveland, Ohio, deter
mined to make a public demonstra-
tion of the new fuel in the 1909 Gid
den Tour
From the standpoint of the public,
no test more satisfactory could have
been selected. First of all, the dis
tance covered on the Glidden Tour,
from Detroit to Denver and thence to
Kansas City, was 2650 miles. This
was certainly more than sufficient to
bring out any weaknesses, if such had
existed. Still more important was
the fact that the car was at all times
while on the road under the supervi-
sion of observers named by those
who entered other contesting cars.
Therefore, it would have been impos-
sible for the driver of the White to
have even frightened a bolt without
the fact being noted and penalty in.

SENSE ABOUT FOOD
Facts About Food Worth Knowing.

Grape-Nuts food can be taken at any

1t is pity that people do not know

other respects made a most creditable
showing, and there was the usual riv-
airy among the observers to be as
signed to the White so that they
could ride with the maximum of COM

pairs charged against the car during
the long trip were tightening a lubri-

A particularly interesting feature
of the new White Steamer is that
either kerosene or gasoline may be
used as fuel. The necessary adjust
ments so that the fuel may be changed
from kerosene to gasoline, or vice
versa, may be made in a couple of
minutes; but so completely successful
has kerosene proved to be, that it is
