Not Quite lnsoIYent.

Abraham Lincoln Carter appeared
before the bar of justice in Staunton,
Va, charged with stealing $780,, Evil
dence was strong against him, but the
young lawyer appointed by the judge
to defend the prisoner put up strong
plea and Abraham was acquitted.
A little later counsel and client met
outside the court house. Il worked
hard for you this morning, Abraham"
said the lawyer, land the court pays
me very little. There is big wood
pile out behind my house and you had
better work on it two or three days
and pay your part"
Yes, suh," replied Abraham, "but
couldn't I pay you in money stead O
work."
Money? Where will you get any
money, you rascal?"

HAPPINESS FOR THE AGED
Many Ways by Which Those About
Them May Bring Pleasure Into
Their Lives.

A medical authority is of the opin-
ion that the aged should receive from
the physician and from the humani-
tartan sympathy and support that
will help and cheer them. The old
man should be induced to improve his
appearance. His sense Of pride should
be stimulated. Those around him
should, without too great departure
from actual truth, tell him how young
he looks. An effort should be made
to keep his mind pleasantly employed.
The tonic effect of local happening,
which engages the attention of the
community, on the aged who are
reused to stronger interest in cur
rent affairs is often quite salutary.
They thus have something to think
about, to talk about. They are taken
away from the past and again are in
the living present The aged woman
rarely becomes as gloomy and de-
pressed as the old man. She has
place in the activities Of the house
hold which can never be a part of
mans life. When through age
mans occupation is gone, it is diff
cult for him to adjust himself to the
idleness that follows and to make that
leisure source of happiness rather
than of unavailing regret.

Chocolate Fishes.

A tempting dainty Is chocolate
fish, already hooked on a small line
attached to a tiny pole four or five
inches long. This small fish rests in
a little wooden box containing sew
eral other chocolate members of the
piscatory world. In the cover of the
box is the real surprise.
For after the chocolate fish is I'M
hooked and eaten and his chocolate
brothers are likewise disposed of,
there is folded into the cover of the
box a small pasteboard fishing pond,
with four or five pasteboard fish all
ready to take the imaginary bait from
the bent-wire hook on the end of the
tiny fishline.

RECIPE FOR MORNING BREAD
Who Prefer the Homemade to
Bakers Preparation.

For three loaves dissolve one COM
dressed yeastcake In one-fourth cupful
Of tepid water. Sift two quarts OF
-four into mixing bowl, add two level
teaspoonfuls of salt and one teaspoon
full of sugar. Measure ~ cupfuls OF
milk, to which add the same amount
of boiling water Stir this into the
flour with a spoon, then with the
hands, adding yeast when the dough
is mixed With spoon work in more
flour until dough is easily handled.
Knead on a Toured bread board until
pliable and elastic Place In a creased
bread pan, cover and let rise until
doubled in bulk, then divide into
loaves, knead each until smooth and
place in well-greased bread tins, let
ting rise again until twice its bulk.

TRY CAKES WITHOUT SUGAR
Use OF sweetening Is Declared to
Make the Popular Morning
Dainty Too Heavy.

When preparing griddle cakes 1t is
a mistake to add much if any sugar, al
sugar is believed to make them heavy.
They do not rise quickly ii much
sugar Is used. A liberal measure OF
baking powder should be used, how
ever, because this kind of cooking has
to be quickly done. The cakes must
rise and cook before they are brown
enough for serving.
A couple of spoonfuls of the corn
meal in place of an egg are often used
by economical housewives, who de-
clare that the difference cannot be
detected. More than one or two eggs
are apt to make an ordinary wheat
griddle cake tough. Eggs should be
literally used in the French and Ger
man cakes that are very very thin
and either rolled up or soaked with
fruit juices, because they require a
batter that is cohesive. Ordinary grid
die cakes, that are, of course, much
thicker, are better for crumbling or
breaking apart easily when touched
by fork.

gard to Postum.
1T am one of a family Of twelve,
who, before using Postum, would make
a healthy person uncomfortable by
their complaining of headache, dizzi-
ness, sour stomach, etc, from drinking
coffee.
For years mother suffered from
palpitation Of the heart, sick head
ache and bad stomach and at times
would be taken violently ILL., About
year ago she quit coffee and began
Postum.
"My brother was troubled with
headache and dizziness all the time
he drank coffee. All those troubles of
my mother and brother have disap-
peared since Postum has taken the
place Of coffee.
"a sister was i'll nearly all her life
with headache and heart trouble, and
about all she cared for was coffee and
tea. The doctors told her she must
leave them alone, as medicine did her
no permanent good.
"She thought nothing would take
the place of coffee until we induced
her to try Postum. Now her troubles
are all gone and she is happy little
woman enjoying life as people
should"

"The stain of Guilt"

A little fellow, nine years old, was
out walnut hunting last fall and came
home with his hands stained. While
in the yard he had a quarrel with a
little colored boy about the division
of the nuts.
They were fighting when the white
boys three-year-old sister went out
on the porch. She called to her
brother to come in the house. She
noticed his hands all black from the
stain when he stepped upon the
porch.
She ran In to her mother and cried
out: ooh, mamma, Bert was fight
ing with the colored boy out there"

maintained. Look at his hands

Little James is endowed with posi-.

naturally by his own tendency to OBJ

less, it was distinct shock to his
mother to receive the answer given
her by the angelic-looking three-year-
old last week.
The said mother was endeavoring to
persuade her young hopeful to perform
an act of courtesy toward which he
felt little inclined. She coaxed, scold-

avail. At last she said, gently:

KEEP TOOLS AT WORK
EXPERT ARGUES FOR ECONOMY
IN THE KITCHEN.
Many Ways by Which Money and La
Dor May Be saved-seek to ELM
mate All Unnecessary Dishes
and Motions.

Why it is that when one buys a
new cooking utensil OF tool to be used
about the home, there is always listed
the many ways one may use 1t? Can
it be true we women can't find out
anything for ourselves?
1t almost seems true when one sees
the endless number of cooking dishes
In some kitchens.
One day l overheard very capable
housewife lamenting the lack of q
ham boiler She had been using an
old-fashioned round kettle, far toe
small, and now a whole ham was
more than she could manage. l knew
she had one of those oblong roasting
pans, and asked her why she did not
use 1t as a ham boiler. She said she
never thought to use it on top of the
stove.
She was surprised to find that il
did it's work in roasting fowl, lamb
and veal equally as we'll on top OF
the stove as in the oven, thus saving
pulling up the fire if the oven is not
hot.
No wonder a firm Is now advertis
ing roasting pan ito be used on tor
Of the stove as well as in the oven
Now, why do we women have to be
told these things?
The heating of all ovens is always
a drain on the purse, still, on how
many do you see a thermometer, and
If, SO perhaps the housewife will say:
"Oh, l never use it." She refuses to
make use of an exact science. With
an accurate thermometer to register
the oven heat, there is no excuse fol
fallen cakes and burned food.
The American housewife boils and
then again boils her food, when one
of the up-to-date square cookers would
can fruit, vegetables, save dishwash
ing and fuel. But she will not use it.
When it is not steaming its shelves

Then there is the wire dish drainer.
1t will drain your dishes, hold your
vegetables while you scrub them with

potatoes to- bake in the oven. Why
buy a meat rack when you want York.
shire pudding if you have wire drain
err? Put your roast on it, set it over
the pan and let the gravy drip on the
pudding.
1t is the intent only to use these
few cooking utensils as an example of
what may be done with a. few tools
if we housewives would only keep
them at work. If you need some serv-
ice, look among your tools and require
1t Of them if possible. Rather than
buy others just make them do what
you wish of them.
Eliminate unnecessary dishes and
motions. Never handle anything twice
if once will do. Sort dishes as washed.
If position at work tires you, study
out what it is that tires and relieve
the tension. 1t may be your chair is
too high or the sink top low. Find
out the trouble and remove it. Make
your housekeeping an exact science.
