How STUPID!

Mrs. Jones (%reading)-It says here

a statute mile is only $3.50 feet. Why
is that: thought a mile was a mile.
Mr.. Jones without looking up from

a statute mile is measured on dry
land, while a nautical mile is measured
on the water. and you know most

A FAMOUS BLACKBERRY JAM

Here is the famous recipe for max
ing blackberry jam that is used by the
widow of John j. ingalls,. who for so
many years represented the state Of
Kansas in the United States senate:

carefully pick them over and thor
oughly wash in cold water. Place In
a preserving kettle and pour over one
quart of water and cook until soft. be-
ing careful that they do not burn.
Stir at intervals with a wooden spoon
to break up the fruit.
Remove from the fire and press all
through a sieve into large stone or
earthen ware jar, avoiding tin. Stir
the pulp thoroughly. Take one quart
and put into the kettle and when 1t
boils add one quart of granulated sug-
ar previously heated In the oven.
Bring to a boil and let it cook rapidly
for fifteen minutes, shaking the kettle
from time to time, SO it will not stick
to the bottom.
When 1t begins to jelly it is done.

LEARNING TO REST

country once a week. You can exer-
else or loaf. but you will come home
stimulated. The country girl needs
the excitement of the city.
Many a woman has found going to
the theater the greatest rest she
knows. This is particularly so for the
brain workers or for women given to
worrying about their household duties.
Some girls make it practice to keep
little knitting and a good book with
in reach. When they feel themselves
getting nervously tired they knit
few rows or read a few pages
The girl who cultivates the .'cat nap"
habit has discovered one of the secrets
of keeping rested. An afternoon of
sleep makes for sluggishness; totally
different is five minutes oblivion
snatched when sitting upright In a
rocking chair or stretched fat on your
back.
More restful of all is the power to
let things go. One rarely hears of a
woman getting nervous prostration
who has the blessed faculty of sitting
down in the midst of confusion to
finish a good book or of snatching a
day of pure pleasure though duties
press.
Such a girl will possibly be called
irresponsible, but she has learned how
not to live at tension. which is the
crying evil of our race.
Summer is the legitimate resting
time. See that you make that rest
count.

DELICIOUS FROZEN DESSERTS

In Byronss time 1t may have been
waste Of time to seek Ice in June"
But In these days 1t appears In large
quantities on every well appointed din
ner table all through the summer. It
clinks refreshingly against the sides
of the water glasses, chills the salad
and the fruit and often constitutes the
last course. Summer, In fact, is the
season for frozen desserts and Of all
frozen desserts there is none more de-
iightful than biscuit glace. Particu-
larry Is 1t suited to festive occasions.
The varieties of biscuit glace are
well nigh legion, one form calling for
sherbet. another for a mousse, and
so on-in fact, one may use any com
bination that strikes ones fancy pro-
viding 1t is appropriate In color and
flavor and the main part of the mix
ture is frozen. Sometimes the molds
| or cases are filled with a single frozen
preparation and decorated with maca-
room crumbs or candied fruits or with
a fine meringue that has been Drowned
with a redhot salamander. Some
times the dessert is garnished with
spun sugar.

TO PREVENT FADED HAIR.

Do you want streaked hair of seven
teen different shades when next fall
comes around?
If you do not you must make up
your mind to wear a hat during the
summer
A bother, you say? OF course. Did
you ever know anything connected
with keeping fresh that wasn't a
bother?
But 1t is not half as hard as spend
ing time and money later getting over
the effects of sunburned hair.
Too strong dose of sun acts on the
hair by drying the natural oils In the
scalp and then burning. just as a hot
f1atiron scorches linen.
II 1t is impossible for you to wear a
hat oil must be rubbed regularly into
the scalp to counterfeit this drying eff
feet.
Remember that the most beautiful
hair in the world comes from the
peasant women of Brittany. who keer
their heads covered with their little
white caps.

This can be tested by slipping a silver
