at is delicate and pleasing to the
palate (an essential In food for the
sick) and can be adapted to all ages,
being softened with milk or cream for
babies or the aged when deficiency OF
teeth renders mastication impossible.
For fever patients or those on liquid
diet / find Grape-Nuts and albumen
water very nourishing and refreshing.
"This recipe is my own idea and is
made as follows: Soak teaspoonful
of Grape-Nuts in glass of water for
an hour, strain and serve with the
beaten white of an egg and spoonful
of fruit juice for f1avouring. This af-
fords a great deal of nourishment that
even the weakest stomach can assimi

my husband is physician and he
uses Grape-Nuts himself and orders it
many times for his patients.

Nuts with fresh or stewed fruit as the.
ideal breakfast for anyone-well or
sick"
In stomach trouble, nervous prostra-

Judge, she IS of very affectionate
nature, and her appreciation of your
sons virtues is very great. Though
her conception Of yourself is naturally
very vague one, 1t is only to be
expected that she should wonder how
you could live so long without a visit
from Oliver"
His lips took strange twist There
was self-contempt in it, and some
other very peculiar and contradictory
emotion. But when this semblance Of
smile had passed it was no longer
divers father she saw before her, but
the county's judge. Even his tone
partook Of the change as he dryly re-
marked:
What you have told me concerning
your daughter and my son is very in
teresting. But 1t was not for the
simple purpose of informing me that
this untoward engagement was at an
end that you came to Shelby. You
have another purpose. What is it?

Five minutes! 1t only takes one to
kill hope, but five are far too few
for the reconstruction of one. But
she gave no sign of her secret doubts,
as she plunged at once into her sub
ject.

as any mother can be who is pleading

Social insurance in Germany.

German statistics show that just be-
fore the war 14,500,000 persons were
protected by compulsory sickness in
surance, 24,600,000 by compulsory ac-
cident insurance, and 100000 by
old age and invalidity insurance, ex-
elusive of several millions of salaried
EMPLOYEES who we're brought under
compulsory insurance by recent legis-
lation. This gives a rough idea of tbs
all around security enjoyed by the
average German workman in practical
" all industries and many of the
trades of the empire.

Then" said he, ct was your child

She nodded. Her large head was
somewhat disproportioned to her short
and 8tocky body. But her glance and
manner were not unpleasing. There
was moment of silence which she
fastened to break.
Peggy is very young; 1t was not
her fault. She Is 80 young she doesn't

What he had to say came with a de-

That's what have come to learn, and
not to complain of your child"
The answer struck him very strange

to distrust her candor.
81 don't know, Judge Ostrander. She
calls herself Averill, but that doesn't
make me sure Of her. You wonder
that / should keep a ledger about
whom l have any doubts, but there
are times when Mr.. Yardley uses his

times. The woman pays well and

Her status? Is she maid, wife OF
vdow?"
"Oh, she says she is a widow. and

A slight grimness in her manner

led the Judge to remark:
"Pretty?"

When Steak Ia Touch.

To make tough steak tender, put
three tablespoonful of salad oil and
one tablespoonful vinegar on large

hour, then turn it over, and let 1t rest
another half hour in the same guam

ing. Besides, have had a great loss
today. My man, Bella" Then with
his former abruptness: Have Won no
Idea who this Mrs. Averill is, or wbv
she broke into my house?"
There's but one explanation. sir
I've been thinking about 1t ever since
got wind of where she took nv
Peggy. The woman is not responsible.
She has some sort of mania. WHY
else should she go into a strange gate
just because she saw 1t open?"
You speak of her as a stranger
Are you quite sure that she is a
stranger to Shelby? You have not
been SO very many years here, and
her constant wearing of veil indoors
and out is very suspicious"
so I'm beginning to think. And
there is something else, judge, which
makes me suspect you may be quite
correct about her not being an entire
stranger here. She knows this house
too we'll"
The judge started. The strength of
his self-control had relaxed bit, and
he showed in the look he cast about
him what it had cost him to enter
these doors.
1t is not the same, of course" con-
tinued Mrs. Yardley, affected in pc
culiar way by the glimpse she had
caught of the others emotion, unnhtu-
raj and incomprehensible as it ap-
peared to her. "The place has been
greatly changed. but there is a GER
tain portion of the old house left
which only a person who knew it as it
originally was would be apt to find;
and yesterday, on going into ono Of
these remote rooms I came upon her
sitting in one of the windows looking
out. How she got there or why she
went l cannot tell you. She didn't
choose to tell me, and I didn't ask.
But I've not felt real easy about her
since"
Excuse me, Mrs. Yardley, 1t may
be matter of no moment, but do you
mind telling me where this room Is 2"
tits on the top floor, sir; and 1t
looks out over the ravine. Perhaps
she was spying out the path to yeur
house."
The judges face hardened. He felt
baff1ed and greatly disturbed; bat he
spoke kindly enough when he again
addressed Mrs. Yardley:
81 am as ignorant as you Of this
woman's personality and of her rea-
sons for intruding into my presence
this morning. But there Is something
so peculiar about this presumptuous
attempt of hers at an interview that
feel impelled to inquire into It more
fully, even if 1 have to approach the
only source of information capable
of giving me what want-that Ss, her.
self. Mrs. Yardley, will you procure
me an immediate interview with this
woman? / am sure that you can be
relied upon to do this and to do 1t
with caution. You have the counte-
nance of a woman unusually discreet"
The subtle fattery did it's work.
She was not blind to the fact that he
had introduced 1t for that very pur-
| nose. but It was not in her nature to
withstand any appeal from so exalted
a source. however made. Lifting her
eyes fearlessly to his, she responded
earnestly:
'I am proud to serve you. VIII
see what l can do. Will you wait
here?"
Judge Ostrander had just time to

when the door fell back and the woU1-
an of the morning appeared in the
opening.

Change In Style
of Auto Licenses

The new automobile licenses that
are being issued by Secretary of
State Brodigan are six inches wide
and twelve inches long, with green
background and the numbers paint
ed yellow. This design is for 1916.
For 1917 the color OF the back
ground and also the color of the num-
bers will be changed, so that OFFICIALS
can tell at glance for what year the
license is issued, instead of taking
the number and looking up the rec
ords for the information. SO that
il autoists do not have the license
with green painted background
and yellow numbers on their ma
chimes, it will show their license
has not been paid for in the year 1916
The new law calls for a payment
Of So per year for 20-horse power
machines, $3.50 for from 20 to 40
and So for 40 or over. A six months
and one years license will only be
given, the new law having done
away with the quarterly license
Motorcycles are also subject to Ii
| eense of So per year with license
| tag similar TO those for autos, only
smaller. This new license is going ta
rdo away with great deal of trouble
and at the same time produce more
revenue for the state, as it will not
hc SO easy to evade payment as IL
/ has been in the past.
