FOR MAKING GRAHAM GEMS
Good Rule to Follow When Milkman
Is Late In Making His
Appearance.

Sometimes the milkman does not
put in an appearance at the usual
time; therefore recipes for mullins and
other breakfast breads which call for
water insted of milk are useful. For
graham mullins that do not call for
milk, have ready two cupfuls of gra-
ham flour, one cupful of wheat -four,
two of warm water, a tablespoonful Of
butter and two of molasses, a tea
spoonful of soda and two Of cream Of
tartar. Mix together in the usual way
by sitting the two kinds of flour to-
gcther 9th the soda and the cream OF
tartar and then adding the butter, tho
water and the molasscs. 1t is Well to
add little salt. Bake in hot gem pans
in quick open. Graham meal will
not take the place of graham flour.

DIET FOR COLD WEATHER
Heavier Foods Are Taken in Winter
Than Summer and In Greater
Quantity.

The choice Of foods In winter Is Of
special Importance.
Upon its digestion and assimilation
depends the quality of blood, and a
healthy body is not possible where
this vital fluid is in an ancmic condi-
ton.
Heavier foods, of course, are taken
in winter than in summer, and in cor"
respondingly greater quantity.
Heat producing foods should be Sc
lected, especially where the vitality is
low.
Healthy, robust people do not re-
quire as much Of this heavier food, az
their blood is sufficiently rich and Of
sturdy warmth.
While pork is net desirable as an
everyday diet. little is beneficial on
account of Its fat when very well
cooked, and it can be digested with.

Beef is also desirable, as also are

is especially desirable for the winter

Nile and Lake Once Connected.


Biologists are not confined to the
testimony of fossils in ascertaining
the changes that have taken place on
the earth's surface; sometimes living
animals are equally good as evidence.
In the center of the vast and almost
unexplored part OF Africa south Of the
Sahara lies Lake Chad, which just
now is the goal of many scientific ex-
petitions. In several parts of this lake
there have been found specimens OF a
fresh water shrimp Of variety found
nowhere else except in the Nile. Seeds
may be carried by birds for long dis
tances, but the eggs of this shrimp
are too fragile for this. The conclu-
sion is that there must at some time.
