EnuIand's Turmoil

II remember when we used to point
to old England as the embodiment of all
that was law abiding and conservative
but it is so no longer said a Travelled
man.
within recent years the English
people have been more radical in their
politics than we Americans and we
have been a bit progressive ourselves
and as for mob outbreaks this coun-
try has been extremely tranquil in COM
parison."

MEMORY.

On the rivers sun-fiecked bosom, and the
murmur of the tide
And the shadows of the Willows IN the
stream,
ser fellow's heart to dancing as he Ia
bors shut inside
Some great building where there's little
time to dream
But his fancy will go roaming over hills
of misty blue,
Down the country lanes he traveIed Ions,
ago.
Back there in golden boyhood days when
earthly cares were few
And where the fish were biting best was
all he wished to know,

EXPLAINING ToDAY's Do1NGs.

Alas, alack
For William Dibbs,
Who earns his bread
BY writing squibs.
On certain Gays
His feeble brain,
Een though he coax
With might and main.
Somehow, won't work,
Which causes rue.
Then what, think you,
Does William do?
The papers reads
With wary eye,
A filler there
In hopes to spy,
And when he finds
The thing he seeks.
Which may have gone
The rounds for weeks
And months and years.
Forthwith he dries
The tears that crept
Into his eyes,
And clips it with
His ready shears,
Then pastes IL where
A blank appears.
And by this means
Fills up. egad,
The yawning space
That made him sad,
And doth so much
His col increase.
His troubled heart
Is soon at peace.

The Iron Market

I'm spite of the fact that most nttfttttf's
fof pig iron are waiting to see if the
market will not go lower there has been
a scattering of small orders this week. -
say Matthew Addy & Co., in their Gin
cinnati report. THE purchasing clearly
indicates that some consumers have come
to their limt-they must buy or stop
operating. 1t is clearly encouraging to
note that the May tonnage so far has
been heavier than that of any other
month this year. Apparently none of the
sales has been induced by the lower
prices prevailing. They are all because
the iron is actually needed.
Furnaces are not suffering, for most
of them have shipping orders that will
carry them as far as July 1. 1t is a
recognized fact that requirements for
the last half will be heavy and when
the buying movement comes it will be
now there has been minimum purchas-
ing. Consumers have gone through this
long period buying only in small lots and
from hand to mouth. This state of af-
fairs is the inevitable result of falling
market. 1t is not to be supposed, from
the very nature of things. that this con-
diton can last much longer.
I'm contrast to pig iron, coke has been
active. There have been many large
tonnages placed and at the same time
long forward buying by small users.
Coke prices are firm and the demand for
both coal and coke is heavy

A CHEAP REFRIGERATOR

Take a box of the desired size and
remove the bottom. replacing it with
strips of wood about an inch wide
and two inches apart.
Now stand the box on end and
nail cleats on the inside to support
the shelves, which should be remov-
able for convenience in cleaning.
Next take a piece of burlap, which
should be about twenty inches longer
than the height of the box and wide
enough to reach around the box with
a few inches overlap
Beginning at the edge of the box
nearest the front. tack the burlar
on smoothly. bringing it EVEN with
the bottom of the box and allowine
the surplus length to project at the
top.
The burlap should form the door OF
the box by slipping the selvedge edge
of the goods over a row OF small
nails driven up and down along the
side of the box. Place two-gallon
pail filled with water on top of the
box and allow surplus length of bur
lap to fall over into the pail. The
burlap will become saturated, and
the evaporation will keep interior

DIET OF A SCHOOL CHILD
ny CAROLINE CoE.

1t is quite necessary that the
child's body shall be perfectly COM
Portable and adequately nourished to
allow its mind to adjust itself to this
great change. and it is the mothers
duty to see to this.
Breakfast for the child in school
should be hearty.
Many children are allowed to form
the light breakfast habit, because it
consists of food that is easiest to
prepare and which lacks variety. But
IL your child has been up aal hour
and then bathed and dressed care
fully 1t will probably be hungry.
Serve oatmeal, rice, cracked wheat
with fRliit. Oatmeal can be bought in
bulk. cooked ten minutes in a double
boiler and then put into a fireless
cooker The night before it is served.
1t can be eaten plain one morning
and warmed up in the double boiler
with stoned dates or raisins the next
morning.
Rice is fine served with apple,
peach or other stewed fruit. TO cook
rice use one cup of rice to three
quarts of water that is boiling SO
hard that it bubbles. Boil twenty
minutes and then drain. This is fine
served with apple sauce and top
milk"
Dried peaches and apricots should
be washed carefully, left soak in
water over night, then boiled in the
same water. add sugar only about
five minutes before they are ten

der. Don't make your stewed fruit
too sweet. You can teach your child
to eat stewed fruit sweetened just as
easily as you can form a liking for
syrup with : fruit flavor.
In the early fall the fresh peaches,
pears and other autumn fruit should
be used as often as possible.
Serve eggs in all ways, but do not
serve meat unless il is a very small
bit of broiled bacon, ham or Clipped
beef as a relish.
OF course, one cannot lay down hard
and fast rules. but one can say: AL
ways fruit, either fresh or stewed;
about half the time cereals; eggs
often. potatoes seldom; hot breads
never For drinks, milk or cocoa
These foods can be varied in such a
manner that the child will always
look forward to its breakfast with
pleasure.

have little lunch to eat during the
