FOR THE NEW YEARS DINNER
Let Roast of Beef Take Place Of Turkey
and Goose.

The New Years day dinner can be
planned with a comparatively free
hand. as the hostess is not restricted
by traditions such as govern the menu
on THANKSGIVING day and Christmas.
AS Il distinct change from roast turkey
and goose let the piece de resistance
take the form of a roast of beef with
individual Yorkshire buildings, a roast

known as crown roast. which admits
of holiday ornamentation by Gaping

THE NUMBER NINE.
Easy to Multiply by It if You Will Re-
member This Rule.

Examine any II Of the statements
of equality in the multiplication table
Of nine. up to and including nine times
ten. Select, for example, o%7@G3; or
9X2=1S.
Observe that in each casc the first
digit in the product is one less than
the number by which nine is multi
piled, and the second digit in the prod
uct is such that when added to the
first digit, the sum of the two is nine.
You may make practical use Of this
popularity of nine and its m%ultiples by
applying it in the following way:
Ii nine is to be multiplied by eight,
for example. think at once of seven
(Which is II less than eight. the null
tiplier); then think Of two. which must
You have seventy two, the product Of
nine and eight.
Or. if nine is to be multiplied by five
think Of four. which is one less than
five; then think of five, which must
be added to four to make nine, and
you have forty-tive, the product of nine
and five.
BY using this method the mines,
usually among the hardest Of the ia
bles to fix in the memory, may, in a
short time, he fairly classed with the
tives and tens and elevcns, which are
said to remember themselyes.''-

You'll need some old magazines and Il

in which to paste pictures. You can
make the blank book yourself from

fact, each little guest might enjoy
making such Il book for herself or him
self. Sick children always like to look

the ones you make ut the party to Il

A New Years Prescription
By H. A. ALLEN
.OOD morning, Jim."
- How are you, Tom?"

"@OOD morning, Jim"
How are you, Tom!"
NJ Tom Gooding looked I'M
comfortable. He had come
into his friend Tom Olcott's law office
for a purpose, but he seemed to have
difficulty in announcing it.
Jim, l want you to get me a d.
vorce,'' he said at last.
"What.'
"a divorce. Edith and l can't get
on together any longer
Whose fault is it," asked Jim.
Whose fault is 1t? Why, it GER
tainly isn't mine. The truth is Edith
is continually making mountains out
of molehills."
The lawyer looked grave and said:
The smaller affairs OF life are more
in keeping with u woman's nature than
Il mans. How do you know that you're
not making molehills out of noun
tains:'
What do you mean:'
"Why, it's quite likely that you have
very important faults that you do not
consider at all. Perhaps you are un-
conscious of them, and yet they may
be breaking up your home. Now, this
is a good time to remedy them. The
new year is at hand. when we all ex'
poet to take Il fresh start. New Years
resolutions are in order. | will give
you a rule Of action for the next
twelve months. and If you adhere t.
it YOU won't val me to secure a di
vorce for you"
What is it,"
Instead Of replying the lawyer wrote
something on Il bit Of paper. put it i1
an envelope. sealed it and wrote on II

INDIA'S QUEER BELIEFS.
Buddhists Would Die Rather Than
Lose a Limb or Ear Meat.

Lose a Limb or Eat Meat.
lndia's population is 3D.. 00O. 900. Prac-
ticallT all the races and religions OF the
world are represented. Ninety-eight
and siX-tcntls per cent OF the people
cannot read or write. Four per cent
of the inhabitants eat regular meals.
The remainder eat when they can and
where they can. The average native
in India lives on less food per diem
than any other human being in the
world. Religious prejudices are in
tense. Mel willingly die rather than
submit to some d~ismembering surgical
operation. for did not Allah command
them to appear before him as they left
him to ON into the world?
The Buudhists will no. eat meat or
take even a medicine derived from an
animal. They died by millions during
the bubonic plague rather than take Il
proph .ylactic serum made from pepsin
and beef broth-because the pig from
which pcpsin was obtained was I'M
clean to the Mohnmmedan and Hindu.
and the killing of this animal and the
bull from which the broth was made
was against the tenets of the Bud
dhistic faith. l knew an editor in
poona, India, to absolutely refuse q
$4,000 yearly advertisement of Il patent
medicine because il contained pepsin.
Indians are fond of sweets and last
year imported over S%4o,ooO,OoO worth
of sugar. Clothing is made chiefly
from cotton, which is largely grown in
the country.-W. +. -Auyllinbaugh in
nS]ia's
The Ekalaka eagle. [volume] (Ekalaka, Mont.) 1909-1920, 1915-12-31

"Certainly.'
Edith" said the lawyer after a
pause, tomorrow will begin the new
year. l will give you a rule for your
guidance, and If you will follow it l
guarantee that you won't need a di-
vOrce."
"What is it,"
Olcott wrote a few words on a bit
OF paper and. after sealing and adj
dressing it as he had in the case of her
husband, handed it to her, saying:
Take that, and, as the doctors say
when they give you a prescription. if
1t doesn't cure you let me know and
III begin divorce proceedings"
New Years morning was pleasant.
and after breakfast Tom Gooding said
to his wife:
Sweetheart, don't you think, this
being a holiday. we'd better make
some sort of n trip"
1.-THE very thing. Holidays are best
utilized. To sit around at home doing
nothing is depressing"
So they arranged for an outing.
! The next day when the husband was
about to go to business his wife asked
him II he would go to q dry goods
store, six blocks out of his way, and
buy her a spool Of thread Of Il certain
hue. He bristled up, but suddenly sur
prised her by very affably agreeing tc
oblige her. But he was too late. With
a kiss she said that she had no bust
ness to trouble him with such small
matters when he had SO many big
ones on his mind. She was going to
the shopping district anyway and
would attend to the matter herself.
These are samples of many such in
stances by which petty quarrels were
avoided. and every day showed an i'm
provement in the couples domestic re
lations. Often when they bristled al
some fancied cause for dispute one OF
the other would suddenly stop as II
having remembered something ani
swing around like Il weathercock from
the bitter north to the balmy south
Scarcely I month passed before ONT
day Mrs. Gooding put her arm about
her husbands neck and said:
Tom, I've~a confession to make"
"What is it, sweetheart"
Last December l gave up trying t.
live with you and went to Jim OF
colt for a divorce. He wrote me Il pre-
scription. l began to practice it OF
New Years day. 1t has shown m
that u troubles We're all my fault"
what vas the prescription aske,
the husband, opening his eyes yer,
wide.
"'Look within YOURSELF"
Tom Gooding's only reply was Il hu;
and kisses. Not Il word about havin:
received the same prescription him
self.
And yet there are those who claim
! that man is the nobler animal.
