Florida buttonwood, q tree confined
largely to the keys along the south
coast, is very highly priced for use in
cooking on ships galleys. 1t burns
slowly with an even heat and makes but
little smoke or ash.
The navy department has asked the
forest service to investigate guijo, q
Philippine wood, for possible use In
decking boats aud ships. Longleaf pine,
sugar maple, and beech are the domestic
woods most used for decks.

Many Uses for Birch are Recorded.

From furnishing materlal I0r canoe
in which to hunt whales some hundred
odd years ago to supplying New England
factories of to-day with 1000 cords Of
wood annually for shoe pegs and shanks
is, according to the department OF agri-
culture, only part of the services the
birch tree has rendered and Is rendering
the people OF America.
Sir Alexander Mackenzie, the depart
ment tells us in bulletin just issued on
the uses of birch, hunted whales in a
birch bark canoe. The animals were
found at the mouth Of the Mackenzie
River. He failed to strike the game,
and concluded that 1t was probably for
the best. While the canoes are frail, II
ia pointed out that the bark of which
they are made resists decay longer than
any other part of the tree.
1t would be difficult, the department
goes on to say, to estimate the
value of the service of the birch
bark canoe in the discovery, explor-
alton, development and settlement
of the northern part OF this continent.
From the Arctic Circle to the Great
Lakes, and sou, bward, for q century and
half, that light but exceedingly strong
and serviceable vessel threaded the lakes
and rivers, bearing trade and carrying
civilization where no other boat could
60. The French explorers and mission
aries made journeys Of hundreds Of
miles in these canoes, often carrying car.
goes which would seem beyond the Ca
pacity of such frail vessels.
The range of uses to which birch wood
is put is surprisingly large. According
to the department, the articles into
which it goes range from church pews
to kitchen tables, and from organ pipes
to newell posts. We may have our first
sleep In birch crib and our last In a
birch coffin. The spools on which we
get our cotton and silk thread are birch
spOols, and the lasts on which our shoes
are made are likely to be birch lasts.
The largest of the spools hold $4,000
yards, the smallest 20 yards. The woods
beauty, strength and rigidity make 1t
prominent as material for musical In.
struments, and the same qualities bring
it into extensive use for flooring.
Many people have an idea that shoe
pegs have nearly passed out Of use, but
the amount of birch previously men,
toned as made into pegs and shanks
yearly In New England seems to dis
prove this notion. Birch, the depart
ment says, is often put on the market In
imitation OF other woods, and We may
open many door, sit on many chair,
and write on many desk which we i'm.
agine to be mahogany, but which is
really birch stained to resemble the gen.
uine article.
Nine species of birch grow in the
United States, but sweet, yellow, paper
and river birch are those most used.
About 45, ,OOO, 900 board feet of the wood
finds Its way to the market yearly. Pa
per birch Is one of the few American
species with hold on the forest stronger
than 1t had when America was discov.
cred. Large tracts are now covered with
this birch where there was little of 1t .
century ago. 1t comes in after fire, and
some tracts 1t has taken possession of
cover hundreds of square miles.

Twice-Told Testimony.
South Paris People Are Doing All
They Can for Fellow Sufferers.

South Paris testimony has been pub.

Lest any sufferer doubt this evidence OF
merit, We produce confirmed proof
statements from South Paris people who

and knew that my kidneys needed a

ShurtlefPs Drug Store, and they gave
me relief In short time"

l, 1912. and she said: ~ am certainly
grateful for what Doan's Kidney Pills
have done for me. / willingly confirm
my former endorsement.

Lunches for School Children.

Possibly some of the readers of this
magazine have the same problem to
solve as myself, namely, furnishing a
good, substantial and nourishing lunch
con, at q moderate cost, for school chill
dren and adults.
Often in poring over cook books in
search of some dish to vary the menu, l
was met with the difficulty of procuring
some ingredient, as for instance, most
recipes for purees call for the addition
of a quantity of soup stock. In kitchens
W here daily soup is not the rule, 1t
would be quite an undertaking for a
housewife with limited time at her com.
mand to first prepare the stock and then
the puree.
A very savory soup, which is hearty
enough for the main dish at luncheon,
can be made from dried Lima beans in
the following manner: Let soak over
night the required quantity of beans q
cups will serve seven or eight people);
then place over the fire with plenty of
water to prevent burning, a few bones
from q roast or pieces of steak from din
ner the night before, or small leftover
portion of stew, or cup of gravy from
a pot roast, and few soup vegetables,
whatever one has'at hand, couple OF
tomatoes, top of celery, a carrot or tur-
nip, sprig of parsley, ETC., simmered un-
I'll very soft, then pressed through col
auder, reheated and served with heated
crackers or croutons.
This, with Q green salad or apple
sauce aud bread and butter, makes a
very satisfactory luncheon and one usu,
ally relished.
The peas use are not the split vsrie-
ty, but whole, green, dried peas. They
are soaked in the same manner as the
beans, cooked till soft, pressed through
the colander and placed over the fre.
Make a roux of butter and -four; add a
little of the puree, and when smooth,
add to 1t the rest and allow to boil up.
This holds the particles of peas In sus-
pension and seasons the soup. 1t Ia not
necessary with the Lima beans. Duriug
the winter and early spring, no other
seasoning is needed, but later on 1t is de-
sirable to cook small piece of salt pork
or few bones from roast with them.
A soup can be made In either OF the
foregoing ways from lentils, but have
not succeeded In making in so palatable.
BY varying the seasoning for the bean
and lentil soups, slightly, as, for In
stance, at one time let the celery flavor
predominate and at another time the to-
mato, or omitting either or both, an
agreeable variety can be obtained.
Macaroni baked with cheese, laid on
in thin slices, so as to form crust, (for
variety use tomato puree instead OF
milk, or season in the Italian fashion)
furnishes the hearty dish for another
luncheon.

Some Surprises For the Doctor.

the man in extremis. Imagine his sur
prise at being ushered into dining
room where a gay supper party was
assembled. The first remark made to
him was: oh. doctor, am so glad
you have come. We wanted you to
settle a bet Us to exactly where the
diaphragm is." He not only told them
where the diaphragm was. but good
many other things. The patient tried
to mollify him by asking his fee. Still
furiously angry. he named a stagger
