Purchasing Electricity.

A fact which speaks eloquentIy for
the administration of the electrical
power companies of this country is
that while in 1902 electric railways
purchased very little power, ten years
later SO per cent of all the power used
was purchased. Illinois, in 1912, pur-
chased electricity amounting to So per
cent, while in Chicago, during the first
few months of the present year, sur
face and elevated railways used 80 per
cent of purchased electrical energy.
This seems to indicate that by special
izing and producing in large quantities
the electric service companies are ena-
bled to furnish current cheaper than
industrial establishments can produce
it themselves.

Berlin a Seaport.

Germany proceeds steadily with the
development of her canal system, and
in the near future number of i'm
portant extensions will be open for
traffic. The Berlin-O Oder canal Is 3
noteworthy engineering feat. It starts
on the west side Of Berlin and runs
in a rough semicircle to Olderberg,
where it falls into the river. 1t Is
about sixty miles long, and has cost
something over s2,O00.000 to build.
1t connects the capital of the en-
pire with the greatest Prussian port:
it binds Berlin and Stettin. Berlin
and Oder have, of couse, been united
for some considerable time by the
Finow canal, but that waterway. with
its score of old-fashioned locks, and
the fault of narrowness, has long been
out of date The new canal will carry
cargo vessels of 500 tons, and that
vessels of such size will now go d.
rect from Stettin to Berlin really
means the opening Of new epoch In
German internal traffic development
It makes Berlin virtually a seaport.

HEALTH PROBLEM IN ORIENT
Hundreds of Thousands-Preven-
tive Measures Started.

tuberculosis is one Of the most Sc
rious public health problems of the
Orient. Active organizations to light
this disease have been formed in ia
pan, the Philippines, India, and Aus
tralia. A movement is on foot for
national organization in China and IN
number of cities local work has
been started. While no accurate hg-
ures are available. those who are In
position to know claim that consump-
ton takes annually from 100000 to
100000 lives in China alone. In In
dia the death rate is fully as high,
and on account OF caste distinctions
and native superstitions, the problem
of prevention and treatment is pecu-
iarly difficult. The Japanese govern
ment has taken a hand officially In
the control of tuberculosis, and is CO
operating with two well organized pri-
vate associations. The death rate,
while very high, is lower than in
China and India. Under the direction
of the United States public health
service movement for the prevention
Of tuberculosis in the Philippines has
also been organized.
The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis,
with headquarters in New York, al.
though organized especially for work
in this country, has been largely In
strumental in the establishment OF
anti-tuberculosis movements In most
of the oriental countries, as well as In
Africa and South America.

SOME NEW SALAD DRESSINGS
When One Tires O. Plain French
Dressing There Are Other Sauces
to Delight the Palate.

You no doubt have tasted these diff
ferent dressings and wondered how
in the world they were made. NC
doubt, too, you tire of the plain French
dressing even though glad to CONS
back to it when the others have been
used too frequently. Mayonnaise dress
ing and French dressing, too, form the
foundation of many fancy dressings.
A very clever housekeeper is one
who is always introducing something
new and delicious and one who al
ways has on hand the necessary
things to work with, but who Is not
extravagant, for she knows just where
to save. That is, by the by. the only
way to save intelligently.
To go back to this clever house
keeper, she makes each week a bowl
of mayonnaise dressing which she
keeps on the ice ready for use, also
quantity of French dressing, which Is
bottled and also kept cool and ready
for USE You can readily see how
much time this saves, besides both OF
these dressings last for an indefinite
time.
The popular roquefort dressing is
made in the following manner:
To one-eighth of a pound of rogue
fort cheese add two tablespoonful OF
salt, the same amount of sugar and
dash or two of cayenne pepper. Mix
these ingredients with a fork and
slowly add one-half cupful Of olive
oil, continue stirring, and when this Is
smooth add two spoonfuls of vinegar
Russian dressing is little more
complicated. but quite repays one for
the work:
The yolks, Of two eggs mixed with
one full teaspoonful of dry mustard,
the same amount of sugar and salt
and a dash or two of cayenne pepper.
and when this is thoroughly mixed
add cupful of olive oil and either
lemon juice or vinegar to taste. Then
to this add a chopped pimento or
sweet pepper, two tablespoonfuls of
chilli sauce, the same amount Of capers
and chopped chives. In making. use
onion salt or rub the bowl with a cut
garlic before starting the dressing.

Bargain Hunting.

An amusing story is told in connec-
ton with the early days of Sir ]. B.
Robinson, the South African million
aire, who has been figuring promi-
nently in the London law courts.
He was crossing the Vaal river in
1869, looking for diamonds. He asked
the natives If they had seen any
pretty stones" and at last he found
a man who had a diamond. 1t was
a small stone, and the prospector Of
fered him $50 for it, but he refused
to part with it. He increased his Of
fer to $50, but still the man refused.
What will you take for it?' he
was asked.
Twenty goats was the firm reply;
nothing less"

B. Robinson, in telling the story, land
bought 20 goats for $780, and so got

ECZEMA ON cHILD's FACE

Marpleton, w. Va.-"When my little
boy was one year old he broke out In
little fine pimples all over his face.
At times they would dry up and get
scaly and peel off, then they would

ran blood and corruption. His face
was red and disigured. He seemed

MOST BEAUTIFUL IN WORLD
American EthnoIogist UngallantIy
Awards Palm to Women Of
Tehuantepec, Mexico.

Professor Starr, the ethnologist,
holds that the native women of Te-
huantepec, Mexico, are the hand
soonest in the world. These women
are not like those we usually term
Mexican in a broad sense for the lat
ter have, of course, mixture of Span
ish blood which gives them special
type of beauty, but the territory OF
Tehuautepec retains the old Indian
blood which has been kept pure and
has resulted in willowly tall maidens,
physically perfect. with creamy skins
and beautiful eyes. They wear a
curious headdress which resembles
somewhat halo of plated gauze in
bright color. Their dresses are bright
with color and the richer among
them wear a fortune in jewelry, but
1t is a fitting setting to the type.
Superb in carriage, unblemished NOR

BETRAYED BY HIS BREATHING
Liar Can Be Detected by Tests De-
vieed by Professor Benussi
of Graz.

When you are telling a lie you
telling the truth. The difference was
discovered by means Of some tests
made upon his students by Professor
Benussi of Graz.
He prepared cards bearing letters,
figures and diagrams and distributed
these among his pupils. These were
required to describe the cards correct
ly, except in certain cases when the
cards were marked with a red star
and the students receiving them were
required to describe them falsely.
Each student was watched carefully
by his fellows, who, ignorant Of the
nature of the card, tried to judge from
his manner whether he was telling the
truth or not. The watchers were I'M
able to judge with any certainty.
But before each man began his test
the time occupied in inspiration and
expiration was measured, and the
measurement was taken again imme-
diately after he finished. 1t was found
that the utterance of false statement
always increased and the utterance of
a true statement always diminished.
the quotient obtained by dividing the
time of inspiration by the time of ex-
piration.
DR.. Anton Rose, commenting in Die
Umschau on these results, remarks
that the discovery furnishes a certain
criterion between truth and falsehood
For even a clever liar is likely to fail
in an attempt to escape detection by
breathing irregularly, Professor Be-
nussi having discovered that men are
unable voluntarily to change their res
piration so as to affect the result.

London centenarian.

Mrs. Sarah Wadsworth of Penton-

hundred and five years, was born In
Clerkenwell, where her father was q
working jeweler. In 1872 she became
a widow. Save for deafness, which be-
came marked in the last two or three
years of her life, she retained all her
faculties, could read the daily papers
and at intervals saw her lawyer to
consult on business matters. She
recollected being taken out by her

Paid for Her Mourners.

The little town of Isle-sur-Segne
saw very popular funeral recently,
when the remains of an old maid,
scarcely known except to her imme-
date neighbors, were escorted to the
cemetery by nearly thousand
mourners.
The story had gone abroad that the
old lady left instructions in her will
to distribute small sum to each per-
son who should see her buried, at
the gates of the cemetery after the
ceremony. For this purpose she had
collected 100 f1ve-penny pieces, and
also set apart "a for the funeral
music accompanying her hearse.
Those stipulations were scrupulous-
ly carried out, and after being played
into the cemetery with all the famous
dead marches, the mourners INDUCED

lice, gathered in anticipation, had to

PRIZE FOOD. IAN
PaIatabIe, Economical, Nourisil'ng,

A Nebr. woman has outlined the
prize food in few words, and that
from personal experience. She
writes:
after our long experience with
Grape-Nuts, I cannot say enough IN
it's favor. We have used this food al
most continually for seven years.
1--WE sometimes tried other adver-
tised breakfast foods but we invariably
returned to Grape-Nuts as the most
palatable, economical and nourishing
of all.
when I quit tea and coffee and
began to use Postum and Grape-Nuts,

so irritable I could not sleep nights,
had no interest in life.
After using Grape-Nuts a short
time began to improve and all these
ailments have disappeared and now l
am a well woman. My two children
have been almost raised on Grape
Nuts, which they eat three times a
day.
"They are pictures of health and
have never had the least symptom OF
stomach trouble, even through the
most severe siege Of whooping cough
they could retain Grape-Nuts when all
else failed.
"Grape-Nuts food has saved doctor
bills, and has been, therefore, most
economical food for U.S."

USE OF THE CURRANT
MANY WAYS OF SAVING THIS
HEALTHFUL FRUIT.
Because of Its Constituents, Potash,
Tartarlc Acid and Grape Sugar,
the Currant Has Good Effect
on Digestion.

Currants, in spite of their rather In
significant place on our bills of fare
save in the form of jelly-are decid
eddy beneficial to humanity. For their
chief constituents, potash, tartar1c
acid, which give them their sharpness
and grape sugar, are all easily dt
gested substances and all have value
English dietists, especially, harp on
the health preserving qualities of this
small fruit.
Perhaps the reason for the limited
use of currants is that most cooks
have limited way of presenting them.
Currant jelly, of course, is known IN
every household.
And some cooks know the delicacy
of currants chilled through, removed
from their stems, and served with an
ice-cold strip of sugar and water
poured over them, In the French fash
ion. Occasional other methods OF serv-
ing currants are rife. But on the
whole, they are usually served IN
monotonous natural state when they
are in season and in an incessant jelly
state after their season has gone by.
Currant jelly is not to be decried, IN
spite of the fact that it is ever pres
ent. Here is a reliable recipe for
making it:
Mash nicely washed currants and
put them in cheesecloth bags. Hang
the bags so that the juice will strain
through and leave them hanging for
eight or ten hours. Then measure the
juice and for every cupful allow cup
full of granulated sugar. Heat the
sugar in fiat pan in the oven, but do
not brown it or melt it. Boil the clear
Juice for five minutes, then add the
sugar, and stir until dissolved. Just
before it reaches the boiling point
after the sugar is added, remove from
the fire and pour into glasses that
have been scalded. When the jelly 10
good cover it well with parafine.
Currant catsup suggests another way
of preserving currants. Wash and
stem the currants, and to four pounds
of the fruit, after it is prepared, add
two pounds of brown sugar and pint
of good cider or wine vinegar. Sim
mer gently in a, porcelain pan until
thick. Then add a teaspoonful Of
cloves, a teaspoonful of ground Gin
namon, and the same amount OF
ground pepper. Boil five minutes,
strain and bottle.

First Aids for the Cook.

ly the stalks are separated and come
through the small holes.
There is often trouble in getting
cream to whip up properly, but If a
few drops of lemon juice are added
1t will soon become thick. Care must
be taken not to add too much, as that
would make it curdle.
To serve up cauliflower whole and

WASH THE CELERY STALKS

mist instead of in a stream which set
ties on the leaves and runs down the
stalks. In this way it settles in the
roots and is not washed away by the
rain, giving the celery a blue look.
