Separate the Chocolate from the
Cocoa and Know Wherein the
Subtle Difference Lies

TOR those housekeepers who have visited
II the city of Vienna and have partaken
II of the genuine delicious chocolate
beverage served there, the makeshifts served
so frequently here in America under that name
are but sorry substitutes.
In fact what Is called and served as chocolate
is very often only a preparation OF cocoa un-
fortunately it Is not every housekeeper who
can distinguish between the two beverages,
but there Is in reality very great difference,
and although cocoa is to be recommended as
a highly nutritious and delicate drink, still 1t
can never take the place of the richer,
smoother chocolate.
For those who are not familiar with the
difference between the two products, as pre-
pared for the market. the following mode OF
procedure Is observed in their manufacture.
Both cocoa and chocolate come from beans
about the size Of large almonds which grow
in pods on the cocoa tree. For the former the
beans after they are gathered are dried IN the
sun and then made into paste or crushed be-
tween heavy rollers: while for the latter, the
beans arc slowly roasted shelled and reduced
10 a paste with the addition OF rice, starch,
cinnamon or sugar, according to the different
manufacturers formula.
To maks the famous Vienna drinking choco-
late, as served in the city Of that name, the fol-
lowing tested recipe. obtained from noted
Austrian chef is given: Use a rich, unsweetened
chocolate (of which there are several reliable
trsnds). four Of the ordinary sections making

business OF parenthood our feeling OF re-
sponsibility grows upon us, we realize how
much better our judgment is than that of the
children, we realize more and more the dangers
and the temptations that beset them. And of
course we wish to save them from these dam
gers, we wish to give them the full benefit of
our superior judgment. But there is limit
beyond which the child simply will not profit
from the wisdom of others, except in mega
tive way-that is in the way of doing nothing
at all. Nor should we deny the child the privi-
lege of acquiring his judgment by means of
the kinds of experiences that have given US
our insight.
At any rate, we cannot save the child by
building fence around him, as the mother of
a ten-year-old boy tried to do, to protect him
from the rough manners and bad language"
of other boys. The mother had kept the child
with her almost constantly, when he was not
In school In time she contrived to delegate
portions of this burden to paid deputies. An
hour or two a week were given to French les
sons, and to these were added music lessons
and painting lessons At no point did this
parent expect to get from the lessons full
value in the way Of discovered talents or cult
waited tastes; this was merely the only way
she knew of providing a safe passing of the
child's days. When it was suggested to the
mother that the boy might profit more from
outdoor games and the companonship of
other boys, she expressed the fear that come
OF those "other boys" might be so rough, or so
careless in their speech!

WIN hands up. But errors is errors
and practically four of the Pittsburgh
runs went over the pan on bad slips.
In the first inning four Cub sWats
only put one run over. It's sort OF
hard to figure out, but that's the way
things break at times. The best way
to look at Mondays game is that our
Cubs can't win all the time. They
have taken seven out of the last nine.
You can't kick on that sort of base
ball. There are too many so-called
fans who are ready to jump on team

go just up to the standard.

and grabbed ball that Williams or
Good could take with standing ease,
and the Cub second sacker has pulled
through with it until yesterday. Then
his interference with fly that Good
could have had easily was mighty
costly to the Cubs.

ed to general farm crops" Besides,
the fact that there can be had at a
minutes notice bountiful supply of
fresh, clean vegetables is value that
cannot be reckoned in dollars and
cents.
The great question of keeping the
boy and girl on the farm would be
more than half solved If people would
only realize the important part the
vegetable garden plays in this regard.
1t Is hardly likely that too much at
tention can be given the vegetables.
for II there is a surplus of any kind
OF produce, ready market may be
found for 1t In the nearby towns.
In locating the garden, the question
Of its proximity to the house is of vast
Importance, for naturally most of the
work is done during spare moments
that could not be taken advantage Of
IL the garden were located half mile
from the house. Too often 1t Is the
case that all OF the gathering and most
of the work Is done by the farmers
wife. Even where the work is done by
a man, the women Of the household go
back and forth between the house and
garden many times during the year.
All these things tend to add to the
work of the already overburdened
housewife, which condition could be
materially improved by exercising a
little care and forethought in locating
the garden spot.
The general lay Of the land de-
termines to a considerable extent the
earliness of the garden crops. Well:
drained land sloping gently to the
south or southeast is preferable for
the production of early vegetables.
Wind barriers, such as hills, woods.
hedges, buildings, etc, on the north
and northwest produce much the
same effect. II none Of these are SO
located that they can be taken ad-
vantage OF, a tight hoard fence will
answer the purpose. and at the same
time act as safeguard against farm
animals and poultry. Choose loca-
ton that is well drained or bring 1t
to this conditions after 1t has been
chosen. None of the vegetables will
tolerate wet feet" In many cases
1t will pay hundred per cent to tile
drain the garden.
