Piecinq Out the PRAYER.

OF curious prayers writer says: II
have heard a layman utter this petition
during the prayer: %, Lord, be thou
with us in our upsittings an our down.
risings'-a variant of the text in the
psalms. Thou knowest my downsit-
tings and mine uprisings.' A minister
occasionally introduced a Latin SEN
tence into his prayer, and forthwith
proceeded to translate it. Another min
lister in his early days experienced con-
siderable difficulty with the long prayer
before the sermon. In nonconformist
churches this usually occupies quar-.
ter of an hour, but long before this Pc
riod had been reached he was wound
up. On one occasion, while in this d.
lemma he startled his hearers with the
words: And now. o Lord, l will re-
late unto thee little anecdote!'"

Road and Bridge Bills.

The Denver Republican OF the 18th

NEWS FROM WASHINGTON.

The House rules were amended on
the 18th inst, at the time of the re-
election of Speaker Cannon, in such a
manner as to permit more flexibility
and greater freedom Of debate, con.
siderably curbing the power of the
speaker. The insurgents" mustered a
vote of 211 for the amendments to 172

Assistant Secretary of State Cool
idge has authorized the following
statement: "Ther is no foundation
for the report that the payment of
more than fifty million dollars Of
olaims against the government has
been postponed by the Treasury for
want of ready cash. The department
is abreast Of demands upon 1t, honor
ing requsitions, and no necessary pay.

LESS MEAT
Advice Of Family Physician.

Formerly people thought meat nee.
essary for strength and muscular
vigor.
The man who worked hard was sup.
posed to require meat two or three
times a day. Science has found out
differently.
1t Is now a common. thing for a fam.
lily physician to order less meat, as In
the following letter from N. Y. man.
II had suffered for years with dys.
pepsia and nervousness. My physician
advised me to eat less meat and
greasy foods generally. tried several
things to take the place of my usual
breakfast Of chops, fried potatoes. etc..
but got no relief until I tried Grape.
Nuts food.
after using Grape-Nuts for the
cereal part OF my meals for two years.
I am now we'll man. Grape-Nuts
benefited my health far more than the
$500.o0 worth Of medicine I had taken
before.
my wife and children are healthier
than they had been for years, and we
are very happy family, largely due to
Grape.Nuts.
I'VE have been 80 much benefited
by Grape-Nuts that It would be un.
grateful not to acknowledge It."

Feeding a CoIIeae.

One of the greatest problems Of the
modern college is the feeding of the
pupils. There is required an outfit
which must remain idle for at least
a quarter of the year, until the glad
some September brings the young
men and women back to their stud
les. Some Of the pupils have only
limited means, and again there is the
frank criticism of the provender sup
piled.
Many of the colleges have different
methods of feeding the pupils. some
with the clubs and others with regu-
lar restaurants. Many of the frater-
nifty houses have their private restau-
rants. Certain schools in the small
cities, or college towns, have been
unable to obtain restaurant keepers
and must conduct the eating places
themselves with the pupils as wait
ers and cooks during their spare time.

CHANGE In FLAVORS
HOUSEWIFE WHO MAKES MANY
KINDS OF sHoRTCAKE.
Points Out One Of the Best Ways to
Use the Summer Fruits a nd
eerries-Canned Prepare
tions In Winter.

One of the best ways to use the
summer fruits and berries is in short
cakes. We use all kinds of fruits. We
make individual shortcakes by the
following rule: Sift one pint of -four
with one-haf teaspoonful of salt, two
taolesponfuls OF sugar and two heap
ing teaspoonfuls Of baking powder. In
to this rub with the hands a piece of
butter the size Of an egg and a piece
OF lard the same size. Stir in milk
enough to mix into a batter to roll
out. Knead as little as possible on
the board and roll out with as little
handling as possible. Cut In rounds
ABOUT four inches in diameter. We use
the cover of pound coffee tin as a
cutter. Bake 20 minutes in a quick
oven This recipe makes five short
cakes
Strawberries, raspberries, blackber-
ries, blueberries, peaches, pineapples
and bananas all make delicious short
cakes. We like BURBERRY shoTtcake
almost better than BURBERRY pie. The
bluebereses should be stewed a little.
The pineapples should be cut up some
time before using, sprinkled we'll with
sugar and allowed to stand so that
the Juice will come out well. For the
banana shortcake the bananas must
be thoroughly mashed and well sweet
ened, but they should not be allowed
to stand. Cream may be added to
the banana shortcake, If you like 1t.
In serving. have the shortcakes hot.
split them, butter well, put two large
spoonfuls of the mashed and sweet
ened fruit inside and one on top. In
winter we have apple and orange
shortcakes. We also use canned fruit.
We find this a very economical way of
using fruit, one box of berries or one
pineapple being enough for four short
cakes

FILLING UGLY FLOOR CRACKS
preparation That Can Be Made at
Home VIII Do the Work at
Little Cost.

From any hardware dealer who
sells paints and the like for interior
decorations you will be able to get
floor cleaner and filler. If you cannot
bear this expense and have an ugly
hoor to be treated you can have the
rough boards planed and fill the wide
cracks with a paste made with news
papers. Soak the papers in a tub of
water until they are reduced to
pulp. This takes from one to three
days. Macerate them and mix with
common flour starch in which some
glue is boiled. If you have a thin mix
ture you can add sawdust. This is
a medium smooth paste which can be
put into the cracks with the aid of
small trowel or steel knife. Smooth
the paste as evenly as possible. In
few days It will dry. Then give the
entire floor a coating of yellow ochre
or ground filler. It can be purchased
by the quart. 1t is dull yellow when
dry. When perfectly dry cover the
floor with floor varnish or use paint
thoroughly without the ochre. All df.
recuons can be obtained from the
dealer. When boards are of differ
ent width I'LL the cracks and paint a
cold color to hide the defects. Do
not expect a rough board floor to look
like one OF wa0ed hardwood.

ever amount of water you desire. Boil
1t this way little longer than you
