There Has Been a Lull in
Fighting in the East
for a Week -

London, July IA, 1885 p. m.--For more
than week now the Austro-German Of
4 fensive in Galicia and Poland has been
hanging fire, while the Russians, their
center having fallen back on more ad-
vantageous line in the heights north OF
Krasnik, are apparently awaiting the
next move of the Teutonic forces.
Fresh ammunition and reinforcements
may bring revival of activity in this
war theatre, but meantime the western
front. bv reason of uncertainty as to
which side plans general offensive, will
Offer greater possibilities of interesting
developments.
Rome reports the situation along the
Austro Italian front as unaltered, brief
official statement only chronicling raid
bv Italian airmen, on the large Austrian
Camp in the neighborhood of Gorizia,
which il declared to have been success
full.
The latest Austrian statement says
there have been several artillery engage
ments and that an infantry attack near
Redipuglia was repulsed.
Many reports from Balkan sources re.
vive rumors that Turkey is weary of
war and anxious for separate peace.
Though none of the reports finds confir-
nation, some sections OF the British
press profess to believe that they are not
improbable. in that Turkey is beginning |
to feel the pinch of ammunition shortage

Meanwhile German engineers are

TEAM your spinach? Why.
I never do that" exclaimed
- - homemaker the other
day. And your potatoes.
toor What difference does it maker"
There Is one method of cooking,
unfortunately. neglected in the aver
age home. and that is the method Of
steaming. or cooking with moisture
at a very high temperature. Indeed.
many housekeepers do not know that
tensively. and that it is possible TO
steam cook vegetables, cereals,
breads and meats
What is the advantage?" The
whole object of cooking is to break
down either the muscle or cellulose
the starch grains. and to render food
tender enough to mastcate and to
give 1t flavor enough to make II
appeti0lng. Let us compare the
boiling versus the steaming methods.
When one places any food. say a
cook for twenty minutes until ten
der, one finds that the heat of. the
water has softened the starch grains
SO that they are more fit for food
At the same time much of the valu-
able mineral salts have been soft
E that in eatllg the potato one docs
not set all the materials which it
originally contained when raw. But
on steam cooking this same potato
one finds that the steam just as thor
oughly cooks the starch grains. but
that there is no loss of any of the
valuable mineral substances.
What Is true In cooking a potato is
still more true in cooking other veg
etables and foods. The steam cooked
method permits the maximum swell
ing of grains and starch cells, with
mineral properties This means an
increase in favor as well as an in
SeaSe IN food value. For this rea-
Son alone, the method of steaming
should be widely praCticed.
Is II economy to pay Is cents for
carrots, and then by the method of
boiling them and throwing the water
away, reduce the amount they rep
resent to perhaps or 10 cents?
What is the use of paying for the
best cereals, and yet cooking them
so poorly that one does not get from
them a third of their possible nour-
ishment?
In families with children especial
ly, the steam cooking method should
be practiced daily. All watery Vege-
tables which contain so many val
liable salts: all cereals which are not
cooked adequately under inefficient
boiling methods, should be steam
cooked. This method, contrary to
what some may suppose is far easier
and less wasteful than boiling
Steam cookers come In several
types, round or square, with three
or four compartments They set over
only one burner, and in tn 5 way are
great fuel savers Instead of having
three separate pots on three separate

THE LOST CHORD.

Seated one day at the organ.
was weary and i'll at ease.
And my fingers wandered Idly
Over the noisy keys.
! knew not what ! was playing.
Or what I was dreaming then.
But struck one chord Of music
Like the sound of a great amen.
1t flooded the crimson twilight
Like the close Of an angels psalm.
And 1t lay on my fever spirit
With a touch OF infinite calm.
1t Quieted pain and sorrw,-
Like love overcoming strife;
1t seemed the harmonious echo
From our discordant life.
1t linked all perplexed meanings
Into one perfect peace.
And trembled away into silence
As II 1t were loath to cease.
! have sought, but ! seek II vainly,
That one lost chord divine.
Which came from the soul Of the
organ.
And entered into mine.
1t may be that deaths bright angel
VIII speak in that chord again
1t may be that only in heaven
shall hear that great amen.

Cells Are Visible Units
Of Vitality Filled With
A Complicated Structure
By DIR. LEONARD KEENE HIRsHBERG,
tCopyriRhf 1916 Featun, Service Ibc ,

<<Vv 7HAr is a cell?", was a uues-
N/ ton recently asked at a
w seminary meeting Of sew
eral hundred persons. "A
place to put prisoners" "a hole in which
bees store honey "a hole in the
ground" the holes in the brain for
thoughts" "aperatures in the human
body"-these and many more incorrect
and far-fetched replies were made. Per-
haps. my friend the reader can give with
staunch conviction what she or he con-
siders a true answer. Yet all OF the
above responded with equal certainty
and were wrong. .
The Roman or Latin name "cell"
meant a reservoir, a filled space. a store
room, a storeway or stocked compart-
ment. That is still the correct meaning.
Anything empty. full Of air. unified. a
VACUUM. hole. an opening. is not a
word is not made for honey, for prison.
ers, for anything. 1t Is not a cell un-
less II is chock-a- bloc and fully satur-
ated with stun. be II living or inanimate.
A Cell Defined.
a brain cell Is not an aperature. a
hole, a vacuum 1t is the living tissue
units themselves. A liver cell Is not a
hole: the cells OF the blood, the kidneys.
the stomach, and the spleen are not
empty areas interviewer like threads In
lace. Even q honeycomb is not empty
walls filled with honey. 1t is the check
cred octagons Of honey themselves.
In word. cells are stun, not nonsense.
They are the visible units Of vitality In
living creatures. Alive or at an end OF
their existence they are the anatomical
and Physiological visible units of life
stuff.
To be sure, you cannot see the cells
of the skin, nerves. brain. bone. and
other tissues with the unaided eye. Many
Of them are a thousand times smaller
than the limits OF naked vision.
1t must. however. always be kept
firmly fixed in memory that a cell is not
a wall-enclosed space. but the living
things themselves. A fake of dandruff
a scale from the skin, drop OF blood
may contain several hundred thousand
OF such units or cells-with not a pore
or open wall anywhere.
A cell Is the smallest unit of life stuff
so called protoplasm-its anatomical ol
