was otherwise occupied or because
the cook was. and the long, slow cook.
ing necessary for cereals and tough
meats was seldom accomplished with.
out friction. Now we put the meat
and bones, with enough water to cover
them, In q fireless cooker receptacle,
bring the contents Of the pot to the
boiling point In about i've minutes,
and then pack the kettle away In the
nreless cooker for I'VE or six hours.
The meat is then tender enough to
peel from the bone, and more water
is added. and whatever Cereal we wish
to use. The whole mass is once more
brought to the boiling point, and put
back in the cooker. In another four
or five hours we find supply of rich.
ly favored food that keeps fresh in a
cool place for several days. The dogs
seem to enjoy the food prepared in
this way, and we are sure Of it's be-
ing thoroughly cooked, and never
scorched, and the time occupied in
the kitchen is minimized.-Country

Tho Eyes and tho Voice.

A physician in London, DR.. William
Martin Richards, has had occasion to
observe relation existing between
the eyes and the voice and has re.
Gently made statement Of two cases
that came under his treatment where
actresses who had lost their voices
completely recovered them when
treated for defective eyes and fitted
with proper glasses.
He tells Of one young woman In
whose family eye diseases were .hered.
itary who found herself at the age
of twenty-five losing her voice. Her
eyes were found to be in need Of at.
tention and when she had been sup.
piled with glasses she promptly re.
covered her singing voice.
When she discarded the glasses
some time later and her eyes were
once more neglected her voice also
relapsed into husky state that pre-.
cluded all singing. This practitioner
has observed a number of similar
cases and the discovery of the rela.
ton between the eyes and tho voice
should certainly be valuable to stage
folk and others who depend largely
upon their voices for their status in
the world.

written in beautiful and clear type

LIGHTNING'S FREAKS.

Lightning the other day sought out
and struck man working in Penn
sylvania coal mine 800 feet under
ground and unaware that a storm
was raging. The report in the des-
patch that the bolt " followed the in
take of the air current reveals a
danger not commonly appreciated.
Lightning is attracted to or DETECTED
from an object by the slightest of in
fiuences, and draught serves as one
of its surest conductors.
The incident makes timely a state
ment of the conclusions reached by a
British investigator as to conditions
of safety in thunder-storms. The
main thing when out in the fields is
to avoid becoming the most promin-
ent object in the landscape. Farmers
are frequently struck, and caution is
indicated for golfers on the links and
for persons in boats or canoes on
lake or river. There is relative safe
ty in clump of trees, bat danger un-
der an isolated tree. The same con-
ditions apply to isolated huts or out
houses. AS secure refuge as can be
found is house in a row of uniform
height.
These conclusions only repeat the
old Roman poets observation that
the tallest pines are first struck" 4"
One precaution not always observed
is to avoid sitting by an open window
or fireplace or near a gas or electric
fixture during storm. Swiss guides
on mountain-tops remove their hob
nailed shoes and discard their alpen-
stocks at the approach of thunder
storm.
A more intelligent use of common
sense precautions of the kind would
reduce the very slight individual
risk of being struck and increase the
confidence of those to whom the fear
of lightning amounts to an obsession.
