A Wicked Lesson for Children.
It's a fair conclusion that pretty
nearly every one OF the thirty thou
sand children who have saved their
pennies and nlckels to max edeposits
in the Pittsburgh Savings Bank will
draw his or her own cOrollary that
thrift is folly. and that it's just
as well to spend your casn yourself
as to have financial magnates bor-
row and waste II. Some adults are
not proof against this wicked object
lesson.
School principals and teachers had
helped to collect the pennies. moved
by the sentiment of that great econ
omist Benjamin Franklin. and
never dreaming that the Pittsburgh
Savings Bank was shaky
We are sorry for the Pittsburgh
youngsters. They have been good,
and they are getting thFirs." Ntr-
tue is its own reward. 1t has to be.
The story that the bank has enough
slow assets to pay everything will
not put these youthful victims to
sleep Childhood has. however, its
intuitions. They feel 1t in their
bones that part or all OF their money
is gone forever. and the candy II
might have bought Is a sort of phan-
tasfnaRorical sweetness on their
palates. In the near future no one
VIII dare to preach thriftiness in the
Pittsburgh public schools.-Brooklyn

Son.
Whose life is love and brotherhood,
help us remember that we are one,

Peace on earth Good will to men,
Clearly through the air it rang,
Let il, Lord, ring now again.
Seldom do we err intent. r-s
Knowing we espouse the wrong,
Only when our purpose bent
Seems the right, the only one
But some other soul might hold
That our purpose is unjust.
And our cause selfish and cold
And our love turned into lust.
Teach us then, the wrong aud right,
That uneFring we may choose
Never wrong, and In thy sight
Keep forever well thy laws.
Help us I'm this season send
Forth such love and gratitude
That shall stir the hearts of men,
And help them TO right and good.

- OCOA has become a perma-
nent food supply. Not every
one knows that the cocoa OF
Dowdery. familiar form is a
residue from the manufacture OF
chocolate. Both cocoa and chocolate
are taken from the bean or seed
found in a pod contained in a most
odd-shaped. gourd-like pod. which
grows on the trunk of the cocoa tree.
These huge pods are cut from the
bark and the bean taken out. The
beans are then treated to various
processes OF sweating and dying and
roasting. and a final process OF
grinding. This ground material -
full of a quantity of oil. When this
ground material is allowed to solidify
at a proper temperature. It forms
the bitter chocolate OF commerce.
which we generally use in our icings
and candy.
But in making cocoa. a great deal
of the oil Is separated from the
ground portion. and We thus have a
dry substance or powder which We
call cocoa. Thus cocoa is far less
rich in fat than chocolate. although
IL has the familiar chocolate favor.
1t contains u property similar to the
stimulating theo- -bromine OF tea and
coffee, but its nutritive value is very
hGh-an average bean containing -
per cent OF oil. Is Der cent of protein.
10 per cent of starch and other carbo-
hydrates.
Beside the familiar powder cocoa
there is the so-callcd cocoa nibs."
which is merely the cracked cocoa
especially for children because it
gives the nutriment of the cocoa
bean without any oil or sweetening.
is the shell separated from the
cracked bean. This naturally does
not contain nutriment, only the cocoa
flavor. Both the nihs and the shell
can be made into a very palatable
beverage by boiling for a short
period and serving like tea or coffee.
There is one general rule to be fol-
lowed in making cocoa TO which milk
Is added-and that Is, not 70 boil
the milk. Boiling the milk makes
the beverage far less digestible and
prevents the milk and cocoa from
blending thoroughly. The better way
Is to dissolve the sugar, cocoa and
water together and allow this to
boil TO q syrup, then add the milk
and bring u scald, but do not boil.
All cocoa is much improved by be-
ing beaten with an egg beater for
several minutes before serving; also
most varieties are improved by the
addition of a pinch of salt and
