A British officer in a London hos

II had picked my way amongst
heaps of German corpses on the
western front when ! was arrested
by q rather familiar voice. Looking
to my right. I observed one of our
Red Cross doctors dressing the
wounds of German officer. Bad

A subscriber wants to know If a
man can be perfectly happy" on a
salary of $I2 u week? He cannot.
Happiness is relative term, and is
less influenced by the amount Of the
salary than the meptal attitude of
the worker. From one who gets much
more is demanded. and there you
are. To be perfectly happy requires
that one be surrounded by conditions
which do not obtain in this wicked
and ungrateful world. We never en-
joyed life better than the winter,
more than thirty years ago, when we
worked for Frank Day on the Fair
mont (Minn.) Sentinel for the modest
stipend of ten a week. No statute
barred us from putting in full ten
hours per day.. nor did the boss put
any obstacles in the way of sixty
hours of work as the reasonable
weekly service. 1t afforded us little
time for loafing about town, but one
does not gain much from extra hours
saved from labor to be employed in
that manner. After all, dear friends.
the useful life is the happy one, and
what you get does not contribute so
much to the joy Of your life as what
you give. Adequate pay for faith
full service is to be desired, but the
conviction that you are getting fully
as much as you earn-no matter
what that may be-will not make
you perfectly happy."-Dr. B.xby
In Nebraska State Journal.

Congressman Ed. Taylor has been
doing Colorado in an effort TO find
out the peoples desires relative to
building upa big navy-increasing
the battleships and submarines
rather than to enlarge the standing
army, and there seems moral in it
which is good to see. In the first
place we are to get guards to keep off
an invasion: in the second place
there Is no idea of internecine strife
the thing which rends the monarchies
of the old world. That shows faith in
ones own, and that Is where faith
should be placed. AS q congressman
of the people and for the people Ed.
Taylor is about as near our ideal as
any man we have had since the late

enough to be Republican. - San

Where once morning coats and top

. RAISING is an excellent way Of
II cooking rather tough meats, as


the long, slow cooking softens
the meat. and yet all the nourishment
is preserved in the gravy. A fowl
that is tough should always be cooked
in this way. Take casserole just
large enough to hold the fowl. Cover
the bottom with slices of fat bacon,
add thick slices Of onion, carrots and
turnips and put in the fowl. Cover
the dish and let it cook on the top of
the stove for Is minutes. Then add
a pint of hot water. Place in the
oven. Let it simmer an hour or
longer, according to the age and size
of the fowl. Two hours will be
needed for an old bird. Dish the
bird. Put the vegetables around the
dish and pour over it gravy made
from the stock.
Kidneys, which may be bought for
i, 2 or 8 cents apiece, never more
even in the city, make cheap and
delicious supper, luncheon or break
fast dish either grilled or stewed. To
stew the kidneys scald, skin and cut
them in halves, take out the small
hard piece and rub in seasoned flour.
Heat little dripping in small casser-
ole, put in the kidneys and fry them
brown. Take them out and keep
warm on plate. Chop small onion,
fry in the casserole until brown, add
a little flour, and brown. Add a
teaspoonful of sharp sauce and one
of tomato sauce or catsup. Pour in
slowly as much water as required,
stirring to keep smooth. Return the
kidneys to the pan and simmer for
about an hour. Skim off any scum
and flavor with sherry. Kidneys that
are left over from a supper dish are
very good hashed and served on toast
for breakfast. They should be re-
warmed with brown gravy.
Grilled kidneys may be grilled in
their own fat. or they may be scalded,
skinned and split and. brushed with
oil. They should be served on toast
either well seasoned or with a devil
sauce.
Veal and ham pie, very popular
and inexpensive English dish, is made
as follows.
