The roem to choose for the purpose

average house the downstairs front

best choice. Should this be imprac-

the second floor could be made to an

Cooks Accidental Discovery.

One of the best ways OF cooking po-
tatoes was accidentally discovered
through the unpunctuality OF a train.
When the line from Paris to st. Ger
main was opened the first train car
ried an official party for whom lunch
was ordered.
The meal was fixed for noon, and
shortly before that hour the potatoes
we're put on to fry, A few minutes
pfterward a message came that the
train would probably be delayed for
an hour, so the potatoes were taken
off the fire, but left in the pan. Then
came a second message. Train just
arriving" and the potatoes were hur'
riedly put back to fry again.
When the party sat down to lunch
the potatoes were brought on with the
steak. Each chip was then found to
be blown out like small, crisp. gold
en- balloon, to the delight of the
guests The cook, without knowing 1t,
had invented pommes de terre souf.

KIND DEED is NEVER LOST
Though Perhaps Not Immediately, Its
Good Results Are Certain to
Be Recorded.

Sometimes we become restless and
impatient because we do not imme-
diately see the result of our gen.
erosity. We seem to think that what
ever aid we are able to give should
work miracles before our eyes, and
we are not content to believe that
somewhere and somehow somebody's
burden has been lightened because OF
our faith and generosity.
Sooner or later, often when we least
expect 1t, our deeds of kindness come
back to us thousandfold. They may
not be repaid In substantial coin, they
may not even bear the stamp of our
generosity, but they pour their bless
ings into our lives with rich interest
and help us to understand the read
justment of our natures. 1t is fine
thing to be in position to give freely
and generously of those riches which,
after all, are only ours during our
stewardship, but 1t Is just as crafty
ing and just as ennobling to give pro-
portionately of the more modest
means which some of US command.
We are not judged by what we give
so much as by the manner In which
We give it, and happy. indeed, is he
who Is not afraid to give generously
even of his small means. Our chart
ties may not sound around the world,
but they are heard by some poor sui
ferer close at hand. and what greater
blessing and what richer recompense
can we ask?

FOOD VALUE OF BUTTERMlLK
According to Bulletin of Department
of Agriculture 1t Is Extremely
High.

An ordinary glass of buttermiIk con-
tains about as much nutriment as two
ounces of bread, good sized potato
or half pint of oysters, says a re-
cent bulletin of the United States de-
partment of agriculture. 1t thus con-
tains about the same food constituents
as skim milk, but it has an added hy-
gienic value because the protein is
more easily digested than the protein
in skim milk, and therefore is often
prescribed by physicians for children
and nvalids. especially those suffering
from intestinal trouble.
Protein, being the most costly or
food ingredients, is the one most like
ly to be lacking in inexpensive meals,
and this is the nutrient which both
skim milk and buttermilk supply in
cheap and useful form, and when TAX
en- with bread or used in cooking they
form very nutritious addition to
the diet. Two and one-half quarts OF
skim milk or buttermilk contains
about the same amount OF protein as
one pound of round steak, and costs
about one-quarter as much Two
quarts of milk has a greater nutrient
value than one quart of oysters. The
nutriment in the form of oysters
would cost 30 to so cents, while the
skim milk or buttermilk would have
a value on the farm OF from two to
four cents.

Mind and Muscle.

As the volume of comfortable mus
cular and mechanical energy at his
command has increased, man has
found 1t necessary to use his own
muscular energy for purposes OF the
control thereof, and even to supple
ment it for this purpose rather than
to use It in the actual performance
of the tasks themselves. Hence we
have the large number of officials IN
the armies, organized both for warlike
and peaceful purposes. In all OF these,
however. the dominating idea, so far,
has been that of increasing the
amount of muscular and mechanical
energy controlled by one master
mind. 1t is true that many individ-
uals are employed in transmitting d.
rections, in recording operations, ETC.;
but the central idea permeating every
thing is that the controlling individ-
ual is, or should be, able of himself
to initiate every movement and make
every decision relating thereto. 1t
has always been problem of supple
menting muscle rather than of supple
menting mind.-Cassier's Magazine.

WHY THEY LEAVE THE FARM
Story Indicates That the Remunera-
ton Some Agriculturists Allow
Their Sons Is Not Adequate.

Just the other day met stalwart
young fellow whose every appearance
would indicate he was son of the
soil,'" says writer in Farm and
Fireside. six years ago he left the
old home. At that time he had very
little education, but by steady, indus
trious labor he has won out and to-
day Is promising young lawyer. He
told me that the first year he left the
farm he obtained employment In
machine shop at what seemed to his
mind large sum of money, $12 q
week. He worked hard for nearly
three months, when one day he re-
ceived telegram from his father,
asking him to return at once
Having left delicate little mother.
he rushed home with all haste, fearing
to find some great trouble at the end
of his journey. His father met him
at the station and calmly explained
that his hired man had left and he
could not get his hay in alone. My
young hero, not daunted in the least.
informed his father that he had given
up his job to return home and asked
what pay he was to receive for his
work. The father promised a certain
small sum. After two months hard
work the son asked for money to buy
suit of clothes and received it. At
the end of the season, when the young
man wanted final settlement he was
put off from time to time, and at last
went away to the city with an empty
pocket and a heartful OF resentment"

WHEN THE STOMACH CALLS
Feeling Which Common Humanity
Knows as Hunger Is Explained
Fully by the Scientist.

The answer looks easy. Any small
boy, schoolboy or other, would say,
"Why, hunger is just wanting some
thing to eat and wanting it bad" But
the doctors find that it isn't SO easy.
1t seems, according to an ex-cathe-
dra utterance in the Journal OF the
American Medical Association, that
emptiness of the stomach has nothing
to do with hunger. 1t Is not due
to the secretion Of any sort OF acid
in the stomach. nor to congestion OF
the gastric glands. Professor Cannon.
in this article in the journal aforesaid,
attributes hunger to contract1ons OF
the stomach's muscular walls. In the
doctors words: Hunger is normally
the signal that the stomach is con-
tracted for action; the unpleasantness
Of hunger leads to eating; eating
starts gastric secretion, distends the
contracted organ, initiates the move
ments of gastric digestion and abol-
ishes the sensation" Here's to the
abolition of the sensation; may there
always be something with which 10
start the gastric secretion!"

llliteracy In Foreign Armies.

The returns showing the eduea-
tional attachments IN the Swiss army
are less pleasing than those of Ger
many, the illiterates in the land Of
philosophy being only .02 per cent.
In Switzerland little more than one
per thousand were unable to read, and
one In hundred read with such diff
Guilty that they could not comprehend
what they had read. Still this is bet
ter than investigations made in
France show. The Temps concludes
that the insufflciently instructed
amounted to 1875 per cent and the
illiterates to SO. SO roughly we have
25 per cent Of the French army illit-
crate. But on the other hand 37.2
per cent held diplomas or certificates
and those whose instruction was con-
sidered sufficient amounted to 1927 per
cent.

Cara Of the Ewes.

One of the most important things
to consider in connection with caring
for the eyes is the bath, and this
should preferably be of rain or dis
titled water. A pinch of salt, well
dissolved, adds value to an eye bath,
and a most soothing wash, which is
administered in little eye-cup that
fits over the open eye, is made by dis
solving level teaspoonful of pure
boric acid in quart Of filtered or dis
titled water.
Boric acid must be dissolved in
boiling water, and then added to the
rest in quart bottle Although
everybody knows that one eye may
often have an ailment not shared by
the other, few remember to refrain
from using the same cup for both
eyes without washing it after the
first has been bathed.-Harper's Ba-
Ear.

SURE ENOUGH WEATHER SIGNS
Coffee, Pipe and Cane VIII Help One
TO Make q Forecast Of tho
Coming Day.

When you 60 for your holiday, don't
grumble If you find that your newspa-
per has misled you as to the weather
in your particular district, or given
you a report too general to be Of any
use. Instead, use your powers OF OBJ
servation, and be your own weather
prophet.
You need go no farther than your
own breakfast table to start with.
Watch your cup Of coffee. When the
bubbles collect in the center OF the
cup and form kiss" you can plan
that picnic with confidence. When
they rush to the side Of the cup. you
had better go carefully. Rain Is not
absolutely certain, but it's very likely.
OF course, it is the condition OF the
sphere that affects the tiny bub-
bles.
Your after breakfast pipe will con-
firm whatever opinion you have
formed from your coffee. II you use
wax matches you will find that they
are specially difficult to ignite. You
may succeed the first time, but by
striking half q dozen In succession on
a morning when rain is to be expected
you will use six matches for two
flares.
You will find further weather
prophets waiting for you in the hall,
anxious to tell you the news. Pick
up your walking stick. II 1t Is hard
and dry, take 1t with you, even If the
sky is clouded. But If the handle is
moist. drop it, and take your umbrella.
If, fifteen minutes after rubbing the
handle with dry cloth. the moisture
reappears, you had better take your
raincoat as well, for you are tn for
"soaker."
