DESSERT NEEDS STUDY
IMPORTANT AT EITHER FORMAL
OR FAMILY DINNER.
Must Of Necessity Be Attractive In
Appearance to Be Thoroughly En-
joyed, and Its Food Value 10
Also to Be Considered.

It is considered bad taste when
dining to show the least concern in
regard to the courses following the
one being served, yet few people
show courage enough sometimes to
ask what the dessert may be. One
college girl used to ask the maid to
tell her whenever mince pie was to
be served.
This girl understood the food value
OF that piece OF mince pie and she
knew II she wished to partake OF 1t
she must curtail the courses preced-
ing. An ordinary piece of mince pie
is equal in food value to piece Of
roast beef, medium:sized potato and
a slice of bread. with a liberal amount
Of butter.
There are two extremes: Desserts
far too heavy unless their real food
value is known and the rest Of the
meal is planned accordingly, and des-
serts too light to satisfy the hunger
unless a sufficient supply of other
things be eaten. What place, then,
have desserts in the diet? Do they
serve a purpose or are they simply
waste efforts?
Perhaps there is no portion Of the
meal which requires more time, more
thought in planning and more care in
preparation than the dessert. An
ideal dessert must be we'll favored
and attractive In appearance II 1t is
to be above criticism. The appetite
is to some extent appeased and hence
appearance and flavor are means OF
tickling the palate" A piece of
meat may be practically ruined in
cooking and yet be eaten-with dis
appointment, perhaps; but a poorly
prepared dessert will be left I'M
touched. A dessert failing In its es-
sential quality, its appeal to the APP
petite, can be considered waste of
effort always.
The one essential which makes a
dessert a product we'll worth the
time, care. thought and actual cost,
or makes it simply a waste effort
from every standpoint, is the knowl-
edge of its true food value, then
making it serve it's purpose in that
respect.
A housekeeper should have a little
table of desserts carefully classified
for constant reference or written out
in tabular form, arranging her stock
of successful desserts into three
classes, perhaps as heavy. medium
and light. Then she should consider
whGAher the dinner she is planning is
high in food value or low and supply
the kind of dessert that will make a
well-balanced meal. The following
table will illustrate such a classified
ton:
Heavy Desserts-Pies, cakes and
cookies, suet puddings, rich short
cakes, rich ice cream preserves.
Medium Desserts-Custards and
soufflues, rice, cornstarch. sage, tapi-
oca pudding.
Light Desserts-Speedy and stewed
fruits, plain gelatine jelly, junkets.

Calumet the Secret Of Economy

The high cost OF living nowadays, and
the way prices are steadily climbing sky
wards, is making economy in the kitchen
even more important than 1t was in the
good old days Of our thrifty ancestors.
But how to achieve economy? There's
the rubi
In many lines. 1t depends almost en-
tirely on the housewives knowledge Of
foods and on her watchfulness-but for
tunately, in one line, baking, economy
can be made almost automatic by the use
Of the famous Calumet Baking Powder.
Economy in baking, as every good cook
knows, depends not so much on economy
in buying the materials as on the success
Of her bakings. Failures mean waste
bigger losses by far than the savings she
makes in buying. And the fact that Calu-
met absolutely prevents failures and
makes every baking successful has made
1t the favorite of every cook that seeks
to be economical. In other words. Calli-
met is the secret of economy in baking.
1t is the purest, too-attested by hun
dreds of leading physicians-and as for
Its general quality, 1t is enough to say

to cleanliness, and that it is therefore
very important to keep the flour mill
and all places where grain is stored
scrupulOusly clean.
The author of the bulletin has Wis
tied many flour mills throughout this
country, and has made inspections Of
the principal ports along the Gulf, the
Great Lakes and the Atlantic sea-
board and OF those in Europe through
which flour and grain are handled,
and is convinced not only that insect
infestation is one of the important
problems connected with the milling
industry but also that the present
methods of combating many of these
pests are Inadequate, and that some
thing more effective must be done IL
we are to control them.
The bulletin states that the on!y
practical and efficient method at pres
ent known of completely controlling
all classes of mill-infesting insects Is
by the application of high tempera-
lures, and in Kansas where this metl!-
cd was developed by the Kansas State
Experiment Station, 1t has been abso-
lutely proven that no stage of a mill
insect, even in the most inaccessible
places, could Withstand for any length

Whatever may be the ultimate
judgment of history upon Woodrow
Wilson, he has certainly shown great
power of holding his associates in the
business of government to its ranks.
Without the stimulus of any great ma

DAIRY FARMING IN EUROPE
Much Attention ls Paid to Artistic Ap.
pearance Of Farms-Everythins
Kept Neat and Orderly.

In many sections of Europe where
dairying is carried on extensively the
greater part of the land is owned by
men who care quite as much for
beauty as for profit, in consequence of
which great attention is paid to the
artistic appearance of the farms, and
much pride is taken in keeping every
thing neat and orderly. No fence
corners or hedge rows are left to
grow up with weeds, no machinery is
allowed to stand in the fields. There
is network of winding macadamized
roads lined on both sides with hedges
and trees, and leading through the
fields in every direction are footpaths
The heather-covered hills. vine-clad
cottages and fine cattle dotting the
meadows make beautiful picture
one not soon forgotten.

NEW DISCOVERY ABOUT ANTS
Scientist Asserts That the Insects
Have Regular Form Of SaIuta-
tion Among Themselves.

Ants have long been known for their
excessive industry, but from a curious
communication which has just ap-
peared they seem to have surpassed
all other insects by organizing an
elaborate system Of signaling.
Professor Bugnion, who has recently
Investigated the habits of the white
ant. reports that the soldiers" of that
species give warnings or encouraging
signals by knocking with their jaws
upon dry leaves, thereby emitting a
cracking sound. Placing some of
these ants on big plate and covering
1t with paper, he found that the sol
diers" among the ants responded to
his taps with rustling. cracking
sound.
Moreover, apart from this audible
signaling. there appears to be some
inaudible form of signal, for the pro-
fessor asserts that the soldier" ants
salute the worker ants.
To do this, "the insect stands firmly
on its legs with the head raised and
the body slightly oblique, and shakes
itself for an instant with a convulsive
shudder. This seems to mean some
thing"

SAILED HIS OWN MAN-oF-WAR
oldtlme Sea Fighter Would Have
Been Properly Indignant at Be-
Ing Called a Pirate.

1t was the year 1649. Captain Blau-
veldt, skipper of the ship La Grace.
would not have liked to be termed a
pirate. He termed himself com
mander-in-chief of a private man-of-
war;" He was popular in New Am
sterdam (afterward New York;
among his Dutch countrymen, but also
in the neighboring English colonies
of Boston and Virginia. Captain
Blauveldt on the La Grace used to
come sailing up the river with the
Spanish prizes, which he sold at fair
and reasonable prices to his "custo-
mers" at New Amsterdam and in the
English colonies. In 1648 came the
peace of Munster between Spain and
the Netherlands, which should have
put commander of private man-of-
war out of business. Great, therefore,
was the astonishment Of all the New
Amsterdammers to see, in March,
1649, year and half after the treaty
of peace, La Grace sailed up the riv-
er with the Spanish ship Tabasco,
captured as a prize in the Gulf OF
Mexico. The gallant captain swore
he had never heard Of any peace with
Spain and that when he summoned
the Tabasco to surrender the latter
had answered by firing on him. Be-
sides, La Grace had been built in
France and France and Spain were
yet at war. notwithstanding these
refutations, the capture was con-
sidered illegal and the Spanish ship
was returned to its owner. The cap
tain and his partners in New Amster-
dam. very respectable citizens, did not
appreciate these legal proceedings. AS
for the captain he left the colony for
IAN unknown destination" And he
was handsome gentleman. fair Of
complexion with gentle eyes and Of
high stature"

PLAY NECESSARY FOR CHILD
Most important for His Proper Devel-
opment, and There Should Be
Safe Places Provided.

"And the streets of the city shall be
full Of boys and girls playing in the
streets thereof" Thus Zechariah in
$40 B. C. But there were fewer motor
cars in Zechariah's day than there are
in ours. The children now need, for
their play. some place safer than the
street, declares the Craftsman.
More important than the play
ground. however. is the play 1t is
well that children should play in a
safe place, but 1t is absolutely neces-
sary that they should play somewhere
If they are to grow up at all. For
there is no doubt now. think, in the
minds Of educators that play builds
the child. 1t is the method that ma
ture has provided for his development.
Play indeed is the positive side of the
whole phenomenon of infancy. The
reason the higher animals. and man
above all, are born so helpless and un-
formed is that they may be finished
by this special method. 1t is for the
sake Of play that infancy exists, that
there is such thing as a child at all.
The child who is deprived of his
chance to play is deprived of his op
portunity to grow up.

DAIRY COWS FED REGULARLY
Animals Soon Become Accustomed to
Routine and Milk Comes More
Freeiy-keep Barns Clean.
(By T. l.. HAECKER.)

If COWS are fed at stated intervals.
they will not worry for food until the
time for feeding arrives. If it is then
given to them in proper quantity they
will eat and lie down, chew the cud
end sleep or rest contentedly until
time for another feed. First give the
grain mixture, and milk the cows
while they are eating it. This routine
lis recommended because, with some
cows. the milk comes more freely
while they are eating that portion Of
their ration which has the most rel
lish. Cured roughage should be fed
after milking because it fills the air
in the barn with dust. Succulent feed,
like silage and roots should also be
fed after milking, because of the odor
that 1t gives. Feeding twice a day
will bring better returns than more
frequent and wasteful feeding. Give
