ROUSED SAILORS IRE
CAPTAIN RATHER RESENTED UN.
MERITED REBUkE.
Forced to Tighten Ship in a Hurry, 1t
Was Case of Heaving Overheard
the First Cargo Reached, as
He Could Prove.

Seventy or eighty years ago the only
regular passenger vessels from Lon
don to New York were the American
Black x liners. Capt. Josiah Joshua
Champion was the oldest and best
known man on the line. He did not
believe in hurricanes or cyclones, and
when he heard of ships being dis
masted in them, always attributed
such disasters to rotten rigging or
spars.
Fire was the one thing which the
captain rather dreaded, and at sea,
according to him, 1T had one point in
its favor over fire ashore, namely, that
water in a general way was plenty
and handy"
But" the captain always added,
my carpenter is a smart man, and
spends most of his spare time between
decks among the steerage people. And
no mistake about it, the yarns he
spins down there about his escapes
from ships afire are not calculated to
make them careless about lights"
once popped" in running too long be-
fore a heavy gale, when something
started about the stern-post, and he
was forced to jettison some of the
cargo in order to tighten his ship aft
and get at the leak.
He was loaded with flour, cheeses,
apples, and American clocks. The
clocks unfortunately were the first
things that could be got at. In con-
sequence over two hundred cases of
clocks went to the bottom before the
cheese boxes were reached.
He lightened his ship nearly hun
dred tons aft in twelve hours, some
of the steerage passengers keeping
the pumps going while the crew hand
ed up clocks and cheeses.
mo, SIR" said Captain Champion, Il
guess l didn't have to coax them pas
sengers any. 1 just told 'em they'd
got to pump or drown! But when
got home again in New York, and my
owners asked, How was it, Mr.. Cham
pion, that it did not occur to you to
select something of less value than
them timepieces?' l felt pretty small.
1 only said:
Well, gentlemen, 1 rather wish
you had been there yourselves, to pick
and choose that night
Eyes, sir, that riled me, specially as
my wife was with me that voyage, and
her own private pianny was one of
the first things that went overheard

FEED CHILDREN
On Properly Selected Food. II Pays
Big Dividends.

If parents will give just a little in
telligent thought to the feeding OF
their children the difference in the
health of the little folks will pay
many times over, for the small trouble
A mother writes: Our children are
all so much better and stronger than
they ever were before we made a
change in the character of the food.
We have quit using potatoes three
times day with coffee and SO much
meat.
Now we give the little folks some
fruit either fresh, stewed, or canned,
some Grape-Nuts with cream, occa'
sionally some soft boiled eggs, and
some Postum for breakfast and sup
per. Then for dinner they have some
meat and vegetables.
1T would be hard to fully describe
the change in the children, they have
grown so sturdy and strong, and we
attribute this change to the food ele-
ments that, l understand, exist In
Grape-Nuts and Postum.
"a short time ago my baby was
teething and had great deal of stom-
ach and bowel trouble. Nothing
seemed to agree with him until tried
Grape Nuts softened and mixed with
rich milk and he improved rapidly and
got sturdy and well"

WANTED ALL HE COULD GET

He had taken a transfer from the

him, and he turned back and asked OF
the agent:

"Of course not" was the reply.

somewhere else on?"

"All right-all right" unused the
man as he turned away. Stranger in

FOOD WORTH MUCH STUDY
Engage .he Attention of the Moth
err on tbs. Farm.

What could be a womans problem
on the farm that was not a woman's
eternal problem everywhere and any
where? Home economics or the Sc
lection, use and preparation of food,
clothing, shelter and household man.
agement, and how can this problem,
or any other problem, for that matter,
be solved except through study or ed
ucation? And yet so little has been
thought of the home problems that
more money is spent year by year for
teaching the men how to fatten steer
or pig than to teach mother how to
care for her babe or feed her superior
animals-the men of the family, writes
NJ. E. Barrett of the Texas experiment
station Visit any farm you please
and you will be shown the fine pigs
and calves, goats or sheep, but never
a word of the baby or it's nursery.
I've even seen kindergartens for colts
to train them in their stunts, but
never a home garten for the children.
l believe you will all agree with me
that food is the first problem To
load your table down with vege-
tables and meats is not treating your
child as your husband treats his pig
baby. He is carefully balancing the
rations for the pig for growth, and
that of the horse for energy, and that
of the COW for milk. Neither is he
working all day long on the three
meals a day for his animal family.
Now here is where education comes in
again, to cut down the work of those
three meals in quantity and make it
count in quality, to take less time and
more thought. Try fireless cooker.
Get bulletin on balanced rations and
menus from the university. Then, in
the cool of the afternoon, prepare your
vegetables and meats for next day; at
breakfast bring them to boil and put
in the hot rock and close up the din
ner. This will save you from one to
two hours on dinner which can be
spent in further study on the subject
of food values.

PopuIarizinq the Deserts.

On Thanksgiving day in 1913 many
citizens of Phoenix, Ariz., ate their
holiday dinners far out on the desert.
They went out in automobiles, carry
ing hampers of provisions with them,
and they enjoyed their feast beneath
a wonderful sky of green and purple.
Automobiles have made the deserts
accessible, F. H. Newell writes in the
Youths Companion. Until recently
you could not travel over such dreary
wastes at a rate of more than so miles
a day, and you had to carry water for
man and beast; but now, in a motor
car, you can run 200 miles a day on
the desert in almost any direction you
choose. for the ground is ordinarily
SO fiat and smooth that roads are al
most unnecessary.

WITH COFFEE FLAVOR
VARIOUS PREPARATIONS THAT
MAY BE RECOMMENDED
Aside From Its Use as Beverage
There Are Number of Ways in
Which Delicious Bean May
Be Employed.

Coffee is a flavor always at the call
of the cook, and one that can be re-
lied on when fruits fail The medici-
nal qualities of coffee are due to its
aromatic essential oil-and it is that,
of course, which gives the flavor. AS
the roasting brings out the flavor of
the oil, the roasting should be care
fully done. When using coffee for
flavoring make it by percolating boil
ing water through the freshly ground
beans
Coffee JeIIy.-Soak an ounce OF
gelatin in a cupful of cold water and
dissolve in three cupfuls of boiling
water. Add two cupfuls of sugar and
two of strong coffee, and strain into
mold. Harden and serve with
whipped cream, garnished with mac
aroons.
Coffee Mousse.-Boil cupful Of
coffee and two tablespoonful of sugar
together, and slowly pour it over two
egg yolks. stirring all the time. Strain
when cold and add two cupfuls of
whipped cream. Pour into a mold and
pack in ice and salt for three or four
hours. Serve in tall glasses.
Coffee Icing.-Melt two cupfuls of
sugar and boil until it forms a string
from the spoon. Stand the saucepan
in a dish of cold water until the
sugar begins to form on the sides,
and then work in cupful of strong
coffee, pressing it against the sides
of the saucepan with spoon. When
the mass graduates it is ready to use
as icing.
Coffee cake.-Cream half a cupful
of butter with two cupfuls of sugar.
Add half saltspoonful of cloves and
tablespoonful each of mace and CHINA
mon, with a cupful of molasses. Beat
for five minutes, and add the creamy
yolks of three eggs and a cupful of
strong coffee. Then alternately add
five cupfuls of sifted flour and the
whites Of three eggs beaten stiff, a
teaspoonful of saleratus dissolved in
hot water. Lastly stir in quarter
rants. This will make two loaves. 1t
should be kept covered after 1t IS
baked, as it loses flavor If left un-
covered.
Coffee Puddine.-Beat four eggs
thoroughly and add five tablespoonfuls
of sugar and half teaspoonful of salt
Gradually add two cupfuls of boiling
milk and half cupful of hot coffee.
Pour into a pudding dish and bake
in pan of water in hot oven. Serve
very cold.
Coffee Creams.-Mix strong coffee
with confectioners' sugar, a little
vanilla, a tablespoonful or two Of
cream and the white of an egg. Add
enough sugar to make a stiff cream,
mold into balls and put walnut meat
on each side of each ball.

WeII-Dressed Farmer.

Apparently the best-dressed farmers
in the country live in California. In
a QUESTIONABLE 566 farmers gave the
cost of their clothes. Of these, 116
paid from $40 to SIS each for their
suits; 143 from SIS to $40; 142. from
$40 to s25; 26 from $50 to $40, and
three from $40 to $50. Two of the
three in the last named class were

VARIETY important,

Variety is most important in arrang-
ing weekly menus. Beef may be one
time served as a pot roast, another
time as a roast. Gravies should be
cooked in as great a variety of ways
as the likes of the family admit. Vege-
tables are always to be had in great
variety and may be cooked more ways
than one. OF course, it is not wise
to insist on dishes that are not liked
simply for sake of variety.
There is delight in eating we'll
served food. Hence study the little
details that tend to give neatness and
effect in serving. A bouquet of cut
flowers or growing plant gives bit
of gayety to the meal.

stirred into yolks, meat added, and
