FINEST OF PRESERVES
HOW PROPERLY TO PREPARE
STRAWBERRY BAR LIE DUG.
Strong Sunshine, Hot PIatters, Plenty
of Window Glass, and Perfect Fruit
Are Required-Recipe for Or
ange custard Fritters.

Strawberry Bar LIE Duc.-Three
things are Indispensable In making
this finest of preserves. The first is
strong, steady sunshine, the second
hot platters or plates, the third plenty
of window glass. The fruit should be
perfect and of good flavor, the sugar
pure. To every pound of fruit allow
a pound of sugar. Heat the sugar on
tin plates in the oven, taking care not
to let it melt or get too brown. 1t
should, however, be as hot as possible
without melting. Have in readiness
hot platters or deep plates. Spread
thin layer of hot sugar over the bot
tom, then layer of fruit, and lastly
another layer of sugar. Cover the
platter with a sheet of window glass
and place out of doors in the hot sun
or in a sunny window in an unused
room. II the fruit is out of doors 1t
must be brought in when the sun sets
and set in a dry place in the house
over night. Return to the sun in the
morning. In two or three days the
fruit will grow plump and firm and
the syrup almost a jelly. Pack in
tumblers and seal. If the syrup is
not thick, boil until clear and thick.
ened, then pour in the glasses over
the fruit. Some good cooks in this
part of the country prefer to cook
fruit and sugar for ten minutes be-
fore spreading on the platter. This
Of course hastens the preserving pro-
cess in the sun.
Orange Custard Fritters.-Break two
and half eggs into a stewpan with
half a pound of -four; mix and pour
in by degrees one pint of milk, and
stir over the fire for 20 minutes, when
the custard should have become
smooth; take 1t off the fire and add
two ounces of castor sugar, one-half
ounce of grated orange peel, three
yolks of eggs and a pinch of salt
Mix these well together and spread
the custard to one inch thickness
on slightly buttered baking sheet.
When cold cut it irso two pieces two
inches by one inch; dip the pieces in
egg and bread crumbs and fry them in
very hot fat until slightly colored.

In railway or other accident man
may be scared within an inch, or even
within half an inch, of his life; he may get
such a fright as will all but kill him, but
unless the fear leaves permanent and pain
full physical effects, he has no redress in a
suit for damages. A decision handed down
by a North Carolina court says that ''mere
fright is not actionable." A person must
suffer both in body and in mind and be
made sick in order TO recover damages.
That sounds like good common sense,
and 1t is doubtless good law, but can a gen.
cral rule be applied in all cases? Suppose

country, and mail order house
unrestricted will kill our smaller
towns, creating great cities with
their cruel social relations, with
their inevitable caste feeling that
come from the presence of
strangers who are rich and poor
living side by side.
Friendship, neighborliness,
fraternity or whatever you wish
to call that spirit of comradery
that comes when men know one
another we'll, is the cement that
holds together this union of the
States. 1t is not created in great
cities.
Great cities give much in
aims, but little in justice. Only
as we know each other we'll can
we treat each other justly; and
the city is a wilderness of care
less strangers whose instincts of
humanity are daily becoming
more blunted to suffering, be-
cause in the nature of things
suffering in cities must be imper-
sonal. 1t is not the suffering of
friends and neighbors and kith
and kin as it is in the smaller
towns. So the mail order house
crushing out our towns is drying
up the milk of human kindness
in our hearts.
And that brings us back to
first principles; if we who live in
these small towns in America can
not see our duty to our country
lies first of all in our duty to our
neighbors, then we are blind in
deed to the basis of real patriot
ism, for after all patriotism is
only neighborly kindness. Pat
riotism is not in cheering for the
flag; it is not in feeling our eyes
filled with emotional tears at
hearing The Star Spangled Ban
ner," patriotism is just old-fash-
Toned human duty.
TO sacrifice our neighbor-
the man who helps the town
with his taxes, with its public
business, with its myriad activi-
ties for neighborly righteousness
to sacrifice that man and his
business for the mere sake of saw
ing a dollar on the purchase of a
hundred dollars worth Of goods
is just as unpatriotic as it is to
spit at the flag.
For the flag if it means any
thing means the golden rule; the
flag means friendly burden bear
ing; it means mutual help in
trouble; it means standing to-
gether against common foes.
"The motto of the mail order
house is every man for himself
and the devil take the hinder
you bet the devil will.
That spirit never fails to
work; and the weak man, the
man, the lone man

EXCEPT FOR MISCONDUCT
Congress Makes Civil Service Employees
Exempt From Removal.

Washington, Aug. 30.-All govern
nent civil service employees are ex-
empt from removal except on charges,
sustained after due notice and with
fair opportunity to be heard in their
own defense, under provision Of this
years postoffice appropriation bill.
This privilege for some time has been
accorded civil service employees sub
ject to abrogation by executive order
ut any time. It Is now guaranteed by
statute, thanks to a section Of the
postoffice bill, which went through con-
gress without attracting the slightest
notice and which has just been
brought to official attention.
Included in the same section OF the
act is a declaration of the right Of the
civil service employe, individually or
collectively, to furnish information to
congressman and to petition congress.
This right was conceded recently in an
executive order.
