These good, old-fashioned, home
made pickles, which our grandmoth-
ers patterned after East Indian prep
arations, are again in the height of
gastronomic style, and the woman
who knows how to make them may be
sure that they will never go to waste
on her hands. They may be made
from small green melons, water or
musk melons, green tomatoes, large
cucumbErs, peppers, peaches - any
fruit, in fact, from which the inside
seeds or stone can be removed, the
cavity filed with a sweet or sour
pickle mixture and the opening closed
SO as to give the appearance of a
whole fruit. When melons are used,
cut out wedge large enough to scoop
out the seeds and soft portions.
For peppers or green tomatoes, cut
circular piece from the stem end
and remove the seeds. Then put the
pieces in place again and soak over
night in brine. In the morning drain.

A smokers pavilion, attached to
a church is somewhat OF novelty in
the British dominions. A recent Wis
ltor to Kalgoorlie, the famous West
ern Australia gold field, made and
proclaimed this discovery. It seems
that In the early years OF the gold
field there were many diggers dwell
ling IN tents who never burdened
themselves with Sunday clothes, and
consequently never bothered about
going TO church
Anxious to attract this class the
minister OF the Congregational
Church fitted up an open air enclos-
ure in which the men could listen to
the services in free and easy fash
ion without being embarrassed with
the fOrmalities of indoor worship A
large archway was opened up in the
side of the church facing the en-
closure and the pulpit was SO placed
that the preacher could be heard by
both congregations. The idea was
successful, and the smokers pa
vifion" (the occupants OF the open
air enclosure exercised the privilege
of smoking during the sermon) be
came popular Sunday resort.-Lon-
don Chronicle.

HARD TO PLEASE
Regarding the Morning Cup.

"Oh, how hard it was to part with
coffee, but the continued trouble with
constipation and belching was such
that finally brought myself to leave
1t off,
Then the question was, what
should we use for the morning drink!
Tea was worse for Us than coffee;
chocolate and cocoa we're soon tired
of; milk was not liked very well, and
hot water we could not endure.
About two years ago we struck
upon Postum and have never been
without it since.
I'VE have seven children. Our
baby, now eighteen months old, would
not take milk, so we tried Postum,
and found she liked it and 1t agreed
with her perfectly. She is to-day,
and has been, one Of the healthiest
babies in the State.
''I use abouttwo-thirds Postum and
one-third milk and teaspoon of SUI
gar, and put it into her bottle. Ii
you could have seen her eyes sparkle
and hear her say good to-day when
gave it to her, you would believe me
that she likes it.

Here is something that every board

day he says at last: We'll, / can't

quit the cold plates and cold food
being the last straw that breaks the
camel's back.
What is needed is grace in tho

grace to serve things in way to

Russian Government to Assume Con.
troll of Itc Production.
Refiners of platinum are worried
by reports which they have received
from Russian sources indicating that
the Cars Government will put into
effect if the next month or two a
new plan for controlling the indus
try and more than doubling the
price. The refineries which are in
the Maiden lane district get more
than 95 per cent. of their crude
platinum from the Ural Mountains.
Under the plan upon which the
Russians have been working for a
year all the platinum will he refined
in their country.
The commission appointed by the
Russian Government nearly year
ago was directed to submit a re-
port and to recommend minimum
price at which the refined platinum
may be sold in the next year. The
commission is said to have agreed
upon price of 2,10o rubles, or $40,
for a pound of platinum comprising
SO per cent. of the pure metal.
The refineries in New York are
now selling pure platinum for $29
for Troy ounce, nearly so per cent.
more than the price of gold. The
price of platinum has gone up SIS
an ounce in the last year and the
refiners say that it is sure to go
much higher, irrespective of the &C
ton of the Russian commission.
All the refners say that the con-
sumption of platinum has vastly in.
creased in the last three years. At
one of the largest refneries it was
said that fully 200 per cent. more
platinum is now being used than ever
before and that the consumption is
now much greater than the produc-
ton of the mines. The refners are
buying platinum scrap from all pos
sible sources so as to remelt it and
use it for the current demand. 1t
is figured that 40 per cent. of the
platinum sold in the last year by re-
finers was the remelted scrap.-NeW
