Messina, Jan. Is.-After lying buried in the ruins of the consulate at Mes- sina fo- eighteen days. the bodies of Arthur s. Cheney. the American Con- sul. and his wife. were recovered at o'clock this afternoon by a detach- ment of sailors from the battleship H. linois.
 The bodies were recovered ia what evidently had been the bedroom of the cheneys. They were found lying side by side. Mir. Cheney was Identified by a slight physical deformity. while the body of his wife was recognized by a locket and wedding ring. There is reason to believe that death overlook the unfortunate couple while they were asleep.
 As soon as they were unearthed, the bodies were placed in cofiins and con- veyed aboard the supply ship, Culgoa. which left here at once for Naples.
 Major Landi. who has been super intending the work of excavatinR the ruIns, sent a wireless dispatch to the American Consul at Naples asking this official to obtain permission of the local authorities to ship the remains to Har- yard. Conn. on the first available mer- chant steamer. The casket containing the bodies of the Consul and his wife were sealed and then wrapped each in an American flag, after which American sailors carried them down to the water front. As they made their way through the ruined streets Italian soldiers and sailors saluted and the people took off their hats.
 Arthur s. Cheney was born in Ilii- nois and entered the consular service of the United States November 27, 1906, when he was appointed vice and dep- uty Consul at Reichenberg. Germany. He was made. Consul at Messina. talk ing up his work there In August, 1907. When appointed to the Consular ser vice Mir. Cheney resided in Connecticut, where his relatives now live.

Specks in Butter.

The white specks in butter are due
to poor ripening Of the cream. says
the Epitomist.
Some of the cream has "wheyed or
and decomposed and the casein has
gathered in clots and the whey has
separated from the cream. These
clots of curd will not churn out They
remain In the butter as clots and al.
ways look white. Artificial colorins
has no effect upon them. and winter
or summer they spoil the looks Of the
butter. Greater care in ripening the
cream is called for. but even in
creameries there are times when
these colorless clots form and the
sure way to do is to strain the cream
into the churn. Then the clots do no,
get into the churn and are not found
in the butter.

In an article published in the
Youths Companion of Septem-
ber 23rd, 1909, DR.. Browne, the
great medical authority on
foods, says, about brain and
muscle building
There is one kind of food
that seems to me of marked
value as a food to the brain and
to the whole body throughout
childhood and adolescence
(youth), and that is oatmeal.
Oats are the most nutritious
of all the cereals, being richer
in fats, organic phosphorus and
lecithins.
He says oatmeal is gaining
ground with the well-to-do of
Great Britain. He speaks of it
as the mainstay of the Scottish
laborer's diet and says it pro-

duces a big-boned, we'll devsi-
oped, mentally energetic race.
His experiments prove that
good oatmeal such as Quaker
Scotch Oats not only furnishes
the best food for the human be-
ing, but eating it strengthens
and enlarges the thyroid gland
this gland is intimately con-
nected with the nourishing pro-
cesses of the body.
In conclusion he says
"It seems probable therefore
that the bulk and brawniness of
the Northerners (meaning the
Scotch) has been in some measure
due to the stimulation of the
thyroid gland by oatmeal por-
ridge in childhood"
The Scotch eat Quaker Scotch
Oats because it is the best of

GENTLE REBUKE FROM PULPIT

Somewhere in the pages of her
pleasant Book OF Joys" Mrs. Lucy
Fitch Perkins tells delightful story
of her New England clerical great
grandfather. who was man of In.

He employed more than one device
to secure wakefulness on the part of

METHOD OF PICKING
APPLES FOR MARKET
When Scarce It Is Very
Consumption In Winter-By
A.


When apples are scarce it is very
important to conserve them to best
advantage. So very many families
are without apples during most Of
the winter. Often persons remark to
me that they had quite lot of ap-
pies at gathering time. but they
wouldn't keep. Now why is this? We
know it is the business OF a sound
apple to keep till its cell structure is
broken down by over-ripening. un-
less interfered with by an outside
agent. This agent may be n bruise.
q rutten apple or too great warmth.
Apples do not rot through pure Gus
sedness. The farmer will drive his
jolt wagon into the orchard and then
pick and pour into 1t apples of vari-
Gus varieties and every conceivable
grade of rottenness and soundness.
writes Joe A. Burton in Farmers Re
view. When the box is full. all the
pickers sit on the apples while they
are driven to the place of deposit.
The pickers are on the apples with
their feet while they scoop up with
both hands half a dozen at time

been rapidly improving its native

American consul In Buenos Ayres
writes that the country is rapidly in.

1895 there were 2l.79l.5l6 head of cat.

A noteworthy feature In the stock.

Much complaint Is and always has
been made of destruction in gardens

destruction is only apparent. for the

is in plowIng up the lawn and soil in

moral consideration We will never
know because commercially we can
not take such risks.
Apples should be picked in medium
sized baskets and not bruised. This
means that they must be placed In
the baskets by hand and neither
dropped nor tossed. They should be
hauled in these same baskets on a
spring wagon to the packing stand.
Do not pour them IN a box there but
sort them from the basket. The fol.
lowing is the procedure with us: A
basket OF apples is placed on the
table directly in front of the sorter
Around this is grouped four empty
baskets. There are four grades-No.
