THE MEAT MYSTERY.

Congressman Doolittle isn't the only
one who cannot understand why there
should be such a slump in the price
of cattle and hogs on the hoof while
the prices of meat to the butchers and
then on TO the consumers continue at
their fancy figures. And there seems
plausibility in his suggestion that pos
sibly the big packers are manipulate
ing things so as to make the Ameri-
can public pay the $15,0o0,000 that
they lost on the meat cargoes that
were seized by Great Britain on the
theory that they were intended event
ually for Germany, although they
were consigned to purported purchas-
ers in European neutral ports. The
congressional probe that Mr.. Doolit-
tie has in mind would seem desirable,
but 1T might be too late in arriving to
do any good, as it could not be begun
until congress convenes in December.
And it doesn't take the packers long
to squeeze the meat consumers out
of an extra $15,O0O.00O.. Isn't there
some arm of the government that is
long enough and strong enough to in
sert such a probe now?

The Table
Corn Cakes to Serve With Meats
Three-Quarters cup of corn Canned
or cut from cooked earl. One-half
cupful OF milk. two teaspoonfuls of
sugar, two eggs, one scant cupfrl of
flour, two teaSpoonfuls of baking
powder; pinch of salt. To the corn

and baking powder. Combine the
mixtures and drop by spoonfuls in
well creased muffin rings set in
a baking pan, and bake in a moderate
oven.
Frosted App1es-Take six large,
perfect apples, core and stew until the
skin can be removed easily; peel and
dip each apple in clarified butter, roll
in sugar, then In cocoanut, and fill
the hollow left by the core with
chopped dates. Place apples in slow

to one cupful of warm sour apple
sauce, letting it foam over the other
ingredients; beat all well and add
last two cupfuls (scant) of flour;
bake in slow oven about forty-five

serve with hard sauce.
Bran Muffins-One cup wheat bran,
one and one-half cups of graham

quart pudding dish well creased;

To RenOvate Brushes.
The sweeper brush bristles become
soft from long use and do not sweep
up pieces as well as when stiff.
Put a little common baking soda in
some hot water, take the brush out
of the sweeper, dip it up and down in
this. Let it dry in the sun and it will
be like new. Hair bristles or any
brush can be treated in the same way
with the best of results.

Christianity is not to be played with,
but to be practiced. It is not a toy,
but business; not an avocation, but
a vocation. 1t is not an incident of
life; it is all of life.
We are set among men to live our

Gods honor. We dare not live for
self alone. Our mission is to be as
widely and as deeply helpful as pos

benefit of our fellows. What we are

What is the best help that a man

est and our presence. The choicest
gift that can be laid on the altar of
brotherhood is a human life.

CAPABLE BUT COULDN'T VOTE.

A very capable woman died in Gin
cinnati, the other day, and left an
amount estimated at 100000 to the
local symphony orchestra, and so con-
ferred an enduring benefit upon the
people of her city. Miss Cora Dow be-
gan as a drug clerk in her fathers
small pharmacy at the agesof 81, and,
took over his business at his death.
She proved to be more capable than
her parent. One by one she bought
up Cincinnati drug stores until she
had secured a chain of eleven stores,
all on important street corners. Miss
Dow made herself a business factor to
be reckoned with, and shortly before
her death sold her drug store proper
ties. It was believed that she received
$1,00O,000 for them, and lawyers who
probated her will estimate that the
estate will be worth double that
amount. And this woman was denied
the right to the ballot all her life.

OF question a school book publisher
often receives.
Now this man publishes dozens of

the questioner and found out in what
book her particular problem No. 281
is printed.

the good-natured explanation of one
commentator.

That's just what the trouble isl was
the less kindly comment of another.
1t is astonishing, isn't it, how often
we say and do foolish things, not be-
because we don't think any better.
L was talking the other day with the
postmaster of summer resort at

by themselves at least to be of rather

their summers. He held up a post
card. 1t was stamped but not adj

out of the mail. Sometimes they're
stamped and not addressed and some
times they're addressed and not
stamped, and sometimes they're
neither. And then again, they're ad-
dressed to this postoffice instead of
the place they're meant for. Beats all
how people that look intelligent can
do such foolish things"
The other day stood in an elevat-
or waiting or it to start. The eleva-
tor man was chanting in a loud, clear
voice: stops at all floors from first

floor?" she asked.

church is going to thrive is for every
BODY to bear his part. The minister

pastor of the flock. TIL Off GERS of
the church should have gumption
enough to see that he does this without
neglecting it, and that they do their
own share of the work with equal
fidelity. The priests fitted beautifully
into Joash's scheme when Joash came
to his senses, and developed a bust
temple repairing.
Money and Religion.
1t has been said that the quickest
way to dampen the enthusiasm of a
prayer meeting is to talk money.
Nevertheless, as of old, so today,
money is needed for the work of the
church To secure it from proper
motives and in adequate amount, is
one of the greatest single C-ffcult1es
of organized religion. Somehow, the
sense as she had in the days of Joash.
There is more pettiness exhibited in
the financial aspect of religion than
in any other manifestation OF Chris
tianity-and that is saying a good
deal.
Anybody who has ever sat on
church board has witnessed the
strange phenomenon or business
men, who are accustomed to doing
practical things in a practical way,
and to conducting large enterprises
in a broad spirit, going about church
matters with an entirely new state OF
mind, which is chiefly characterized
by it's smallness. Who can explain
why it is that when business men go
at the financial side of the church
their ideas Immediately become pea
nut size? Men who pay generously
in the chamber of commerce, or IN
their social clubs, count pennies
when it comes to the church.
There is many a man with an IN
come of thousands of dollars year
who is a total stranger to the expert
ence of giving as much as one nun
dred dollars in a single year to the
church. A whole crowd of ep1grams
and stories have arisen, concerning
this well known condition. One is
Some men give according to their
means, and others according to their
meanness" Some Christians are so
stingy that when the minister gives
out old Hundred they start to sing
Ninety and Nine in order to get one
per cent Off"
If a Christian has not religion
enough to give generously, proper
tionately and Systematically to the
church, he has surely not religion
enough to take him to heaven, or to
any other Christian goal. The first
evidence of a revival in religion in
many a church would be an increase
in the pastors salary, and the repair
ing of the church. L have observed in
heather lands that at the entrance to
the temples there L. large chest
Joash fashion-for the receipt of Of
ferings. The first act of worship in
heathendom is to make a gift.
Now, as of old, the grave problem is
one of putting the church into fit con-
dition on her material side, and in her
spiritual strength. to meet the crisis
that is now upon the world.

An awful SILVER of fear ran down

Tommy Title Mouse and his little
mate were SO busy getting settled that
they had no time to look around and
get acquainted with their new home
or to see their new neighbors. They
cleared out the crack IN the log that
the garden toad had pointed out to
them, till it was broad and deep. And
they found to their delight, that tiny
little streak of a crack ran clear
through the log.
"1 believe we had better gnaw that
out into a passage way for use when
danger threatens from in 'front.'" said
Tommy to his mate.
That's well enough to plan for"
she replied wisely, but we must first
finish this front part" She very well
knew how hard it was to get Tommy
to finish job-he liked to begin bet
ter than finish.
So Tommy, like the good little Tit
tle-Mouse that he was, worked faith
fully and together they finished the
