In full dress of a mandarin (the Pu

who gave his life for the peole. An
exile who was in the camp at Jaochow
and who owed the Hsien District
Magistrate) a grudge, rode a black
horse to Looping, and having killed the
Hsien got back for the Jaochow roll
call next morning.
AS the murderer could not be found,
orders came from the capital that a
large number of people should be
killed. To prevent this slaughter of
innocent folk the Pu ting, good old
man, said he stabbed the Hsien after
a few words over the wine cups, and
he was consequently beheaded. No
resident Of the district would deal
the fatal blow, but an itinerant cob
bier or bamboo worker did it for
reward of 40 tacis. Tradition adds
that he was struck dead by lightning
after leaving the execution ground.

directly back of the stair hall, which
will be useful for many purposes.
On the second floor are three good
sized bedrooms, each with clothes
closet opening off from it. The bath
room is also on this floor and finds
itself directly above the kitchen. This
brings all the plumbing together and
makes quite a saving in this factor of
the expense. 1t is in matters of this
kind that the experienced house de-
signer can save a good deal of money

In exterior appearance the house

A house Of this kind has the advan-
tage Of being very easily kept up so
that It always presents a neat and
well-cared-for appearance. The cost
OF this seven-room, story and half
house is estimated at $4,000.

CARROTS AS INSOMNIA CURE
London Physician Declares Vegetable
viii Induce Sleep When Other
Remedies Fall.

Iondon.-Eat carrots for insomnia
A large, properly cooked carrot for
supper will induce sound and refresh
Ing sleep.
That was the opinion given by a
well-known London doctor.
Carrots differ from other vege-
tables in that they contain a large
amount of various sugars" he said.
"Properly cooked, they are sweet and
pleasant to the taste; they are also
carminative-that is, they promote di-
gestion.
In its sleep-producing qualities the
carrot is closely allied to the onion
and as a supper dish for insomnia pa
tients 1t is to be strongly recon-
mended.
ut has also been averred that the
carrot is excellent as a nerve tonic
and a mental stimulant There can
be no doubt as to it's peculiar proper
ties for inducing sleep, but they should
not be eaten raw. They are very indl'
gestible uncooked."
A lady who is an enthusiastic Vege-
tartan gave one of the best recipes
for cooking this vegetable.
Carrots are best cooked 'conserVa-
tively.'" she said. by this I mean
they should be cut in strips and al
lowed to simmer, with butter, in a
double cooker. No water should be
added.
"By this method all the valuable
Juices and properties Of the carrot are
retained instead of being thrown
away with the hot water, as Is done
when they are boiled.
For supper this dish is most appe-
tizing-a poached egg Is a dainty ad-
dition. It is a meal which ! know
from experience induces slumber.
''The many good qualities OF car
rots are overlooked by the public
They not only induce sleep, but are
excellent for the complexion as a con
sequence of their tonic effect on the
blood"

tween the floors should be turned up
six inches behind all the base boards.
Another trivial expense while build
ing that proves very great economy
in the long run is to have the base
ment lathed and plastered Twenty
five or thirty dollars will do this on
the average job, while the satisfaction
and comfort resulting will be worth
many times that amount in after
years.
Also great care should be taken that
what are called the rough sheathing
boards for the exterior walls should
be good matched lumber Shiplap is
very good for this and costs very
little more than the ordinary un-
matched boarding Very often large
lInotholes in such boarding are al
owed to go unnoticed; but this is a
rave mistake. Much cold can find its
way in through even one large knot
hole. They should all be hunted out
and carefully plugged before the
sheathing paper is nailed on.
And IN addition to thorough con-
,truction much can be accomplished

saws that according to instructions,
she explained to her class the uses

afterward she resumed the astronomy
lesson, and, in order to test the recol-

Is the zodiac?" There aren't none

'it's bust up. Whats burst up?"
asked the teacher, in great surprise

The buying of foodstuGs by weight
Is being agitated as a plan to affect
the cost-ofliving problem in favor Of
the housewife and enable her to come
nearer getting the worth of her money
If it will do either, or both, It should
be adopted without delay, providing
It entails no incidental hardship that
would offset its benefits. But would
such a plan produce these results?
Theoretically, one is inclined to an.
swer yes, for it does seem that one
would be paying for what he got by
buying by weight and not measure. or
article, says the Omaha Bee Yet in
places where the plan has been in
vogue has It accomplished this? Cali
fornia has always bought by weight
even potatoes, fruit-nearly every.
thing IN the edible Iine-and yet the
people of California have been caught
by the high-cost-of-living wave along
with the rest Of us. In Cuba, it is
said the plan works with good results.
It being applied even more thoroughly
there than in California. Eggs are
bought by the pound in Cuba and the
American advocates Of the plan pro.
pose that we buy eggs the same way.

VALUABLE AS FOOD
SunfIOWer Seed Is Allowed to Go
to Waste in Missouri.
OH 10 More Edible Than That Of Cot.
ton and Almost Equal TO olives
Stalks Make Excellent
Fuel

Jefferson City, Mo.-"MlIlions of
pounds of sunflower seed are allowed
to so to waste In Missouri annually,
simply because Il is not generally
known that they can be used for food
tor man. as well as animals, and there
tore have commercial value" says
the 1910 Red Book of the bureau Of
abor and statistics. Figures made
public by Labor Commissioner J. @. A.
Hnler show that in the year 1909
about 10000 pounds of the seeds we're
sent TO market by Missouri's ia eoun-
ties and that about $4,000 was real.
tied by the sale OF the same.
while originally a native of tropi-
cal America the sunhower is now
found growing more or less wild In all
cultlvable portions of the world, and
especially in south and central Eu.
rope, seeds having been carried there
from America and planted by several
sixteenth century rovers, who took
a fancy to the large flower, both for
It's peculiar wild beauty and that It
had a food value" reads the Red
Book chapter on this interesting
subject.
In Russia the sunAower seed is
prepared and eaten just like Ameri-
cans do peanuts. The poorer classes
often eat the seeds raw, the only draw
back to this style of turning them into
palatable article being the diff
Guilty Of easily separating the kernel
from the hull.
In Missouri the sunHower is found
everywhere, growing in vacant city
lots and amid rubbish as well as in
the rich lands of the southeastern
section of the state and in the foot
hills Of the Ozarks. Goats thrive an
the plant, eating from the seeds and
petals down TO the coarse rough stalks
and the roots. The seed is often used,
mixed with other seed, as feed for
poultry, and parrots especially enjoy
the menu, forming a food which was
mainstay for them in tropical re-
gions.

most seed In 1909," according to the
