 Scrdpple.
 " am asking for a recipe which used to have, but which was lost during 8 re- cent illness. I think the dish was called hard scrabble. but l am not quite oer- tain. for friend gave it to me some time ago. The preparation was used in the place of meat and contained meat of some kind and cornmeal. and after being cut in slices was friend in skillet do wish l might get 1t again. and will watch tho Corner in hopes of its appearance.
 MRS. C. R." To my mind there Is little doubt that the dish you wish is not hard sS rabble, but scrapple. On this persuasion give you the following recipe, but If some one who knows of a preparation bearing tho name you give 1t shall be happy to re- ceive and publish the directions. Clean q pig's head. put 1t over the fire. and boil until the meat slips from the bones. Take out the bones and chop the meat fine. Set the liquor in which 1t waA boiled aside un- til cold. remove the cake of fat which will rise to the top. put the liquor back on the fire, bring to . boil, and turn in tho chopped meat. Season we'll with pepper and salt. boil up and thicken with corn n. t,,c l. making cornmeal mush, sitting the meal through the fingers slowly, that 1t may not lump Cook the mixture for an hour. stirring constantly at first and afterwards putting the pot at the back of the stove that the contents may cook slowly. When done pour into long. nArrow pan. mak- ing the depth of the scrapple about four inches or less. When cold 1t may be cut into slices and fried in butter or dripping to a good brown. This Is good and ap- pstizing. especially in cold weather. for luncheon or for supper.

mentioned were tabooed. generous choice was left Soups of all except the richest kinds, cream soups, meat or veg etable broths, were allowed: eggs cooked in a variety of ways many vegetables, fish, such meats as beef lamb. mutton, chicken. turkey, etc. toast. porridge of all sorts, fruit. fresh and stewed-an these and sundry other dishes were on the childs menu. He did not have to have a special meal provided for him, for many of the items suitable to his diet were those taken for granted on the av- craze table.
 At the same time the articles he could not eat were not banished. When some preparation was served of which he was not certain the quick question would come, "Is that something that is good for little beys?" If the answer was in the negative the matter was settled and no protest was uttered. Tho food given him was abundant and good. Like nearly all children. he did not crave the variety sought by the more mature appetite and was satisfied with what was placed be- fore him.
 The truth Is that we too often create demand in our children which does not naturally exist. The normal child would be satisfied with a breakfast of fresh or stewed fruit, porridge and milk, supple mented perhaps by an egg and piece of toast or bread and butter and glass of milk or a cup of cocoa Why introduce him to those things which he does not need and which at this stage of his growth are not good for him? Why give him taste of tea or coffee, a bite of saul sage, mouthful of griddle cake? It is not as though these were articles he had to learn to like, wholesom foods which sitis to hiss profit to eat.s Ifthey please his palate you are awakening in him taste which it is harmful for him to indulge.

Relative to the report of his recent
 arrest in Candle on the charge of hay . ing purloined money contained in a Ietter, consigned to his care while in command of the Silver Wave. Chris
 Gudmandsun asserts that the case is
 largely the result of plot to do him
 Dy way of revenge for past differences
 iudmandsun states that he was ar-
 rested all right and convicted of the
 charge by Judge Campbell of Candle after a bearing which Gudmandsun characterises as farce. According to
 the story told by Gudmandsun, the
 complaining witnesses, who are said
 to be two squaw men, assert that Gud-
 mundsun was given a letter, contain
 ing twenty-five dollars in currency
 while he was returning to his dory shortly before leaving on the return to Nome. and which has never been delivered at it's address Gudmundsun says that he knows nothing of the let ter, as no letter was given to him at which the business of the vessel is con- ducted, and claims that he has witness to the fact that he received no letters after that time. At the trial, according to Gudmundsun, the man who claims to have given him the letter testified that he (the witness) was so intoxi- cated at the time that he did not know where he was when the letter was de- Iivered, but was satisfied that he had given it to Gudmundsun. The other witness asserts that the delivery was made while Gudmundsun was going down the beach. The witnesses for both of whom walked down to the dory with him. testified that he had not been given any letter during the journey. Gudmundsun was given hearing by Judge Campbell. who it is alleged refused to grant a jury trial, and was fined seventy five dollars. Gudmundsun- says that he has appealed the case to the district court. Gudmundsun also asserts that the judge himself swore to the com plaint and displayed bias and preju- dice throughout the trial Gudmund- sun was. defended by Mir Floyd Tan yon, an attorney from Spokane who is the manager of the Sundquist dredge on Candle creek.
