MACHINE MAKES NOODLES
Complete Little Manufacturing Plant
In Italy That Will Cut the Goods
ITO Order"

A noodle machine is complete lit
tie manufacturing plant in itself. and
will turn out in short time noodles
enough to supply the town. 1t can be
operated by hand or by mechanical
power. 1t requires only about one
eighth OF horsepower to run the
larger-sized machine.
Tho machine can be adjusted In a
second so as to 1ut the noodles differ
ent sizes, from the width Of thread
up to half an inoh. Although small
machine, it is mighty in the work 1t
performs. 1t may be placed where
customers can see 1t, and the noodles
"cut to order"
Contrary to general supposition,
noodles are also used for dishes other
than soup. Noodle soup in itself.
however, is dish relished by nearly
everybody regardless of nationality.
The noodles must, Of course, first be
boiled by the housewife, after which
they may be served in various ways
The Germans often serve noodles
with German prunes. Noodles may
also be served with milk seasoned to
suit the taste with salt and butter.
They may be served with chill. The
Italians take the cooked noodles, add
seasoned tomatoes and bake for half
an hour. Noodles make an excellent
dessert by pouring melted butter over
them and adding chopped nuts or
fruit.-Baker's Weekly.

SELoUs A HARDY EXPLORER
While Travelling in the WiIds Of
Africa for Years He Always
Slept on the Ground

Mr.. Selous, distinguished hunter
and explorer, was in England, and
telling something of his methods when
in the wilds of Africa. How little he
cared for personal comfort may be
gathered from his remark that he
never thought of taking any sort OF
conveyance, even to the extent of a
hammock for ease by day or rest at
night, and would not be encountered
by tent. For weeks together, year
after year. he slept on the ground,
covered only by something in the
shape Of a blanket. Asked II there
were any reptiles to disturb repose
under such circumstances, Mr.. Selous
replied that, although venonous
snakes were to be found, bites from
them were very rare, and in all his
experience he had never known any
body, either native or European,
killed by snake bite in Mashona-
land. in fact" he said, you run
more risk OF being killed by an omni-
bus in London streets than we do by
venomous snakes in African forests"
