Uses of Arrowroot

I suggested to a friend who is caring Tor an invalid aunt that she use arrowroot to thicken her broth, and also make 1t more digestibe She tried 1t and was so well satisfied that she told me to send you my method, that others might benefit by 1t. l use half a teaspoon of arrow root to bowl of broth. I mix it with a little cold water into a paste before stir ring 1t into the boiling broth. When the broth boils clear, 1t Is ready to serve. It takes from two to three minutes. Pud- dipgs may be thickened in the same way, except that they require longer cooking and twice the amount of the powder is used. All kinds of creamed soups may be thickened in the same way Arrow root powder may be bought at any drug or first-class grocery store. I have found that it aids digestion. My patients can eat things made with it which they could not otherwise digest I hope you can make use of this suggestion. P. M. B."
 Arrowroot Is too little known to the average American housewife. It thickens gravies and broths better than flour ever can; it makes a variety of nourishing and delicious invalid dishes. jellies, blanc mango and the like-and as food for in- fants it is unsurpassed. But be sure to get the best quality of Bermuda arrow root. There are limitations in the mar ket cheaper because adulterated with flour or cornstarch. Be content with none ex- cept the best. We are grateful to our correspondent for calling our attention to the admirable product.

MISS DAISY ROWLEY'S
 SUCCESS AS COMPOSER

Miss Daisy Rowley's large host of friends will be pleased to hear of her success as composer. On Thrusday, July 8, the Boston Symphony orchestra played her "Gavotte," which she re- gently composed and dedicated to Mrs. Julia M. Gilreath. In the absence of Dr. Carl Muck, MT. Clement Lenom conducted the programme.
 Press notices from the Boston papers speak of Miss Rowleys composition in complimentary and lauditory terms and seldom has Symphony hail. where the Pop" concerts are held, given any ne v composer a more cordial or enthusi astic reception. Through the courtesy of MT. Henry Mason of the Mason & Ham lin Piano company, who is a warm friend of Mis- Rowley, her "Gavotte" was played, both pr. Muck and MT. Lenom being intimate friends of MT. Mason. e
 Birmingham is very proud of Miss Rowley's success not only as a popu- lar teacher, but as a composer of re- nown.

"A CHARM FROM THE SKY
 SEEMS TO HALLOW US THERE"
By DOLLY DALRyMpIr

joy life, but ohi the heart bangs when I've seen my lares and penates adorn- Ing strange altars, even the altars of my own children. An artistic vase oa'er the buying of which I had spent much time and consideration, and which was never used except for our wedding an- niversary flowers; 1t had it's association only known to myself and one other. To see it relegated to remote corner rather gets on my nerves.
 Then, too, I had mahogany tahls which l prized above all else in the world, and now to see it covered with ashes and beer bottles and all that. at my little daughter s-in-law house. is awful. She actually has the assumption to say to me: Don't bother about that old table, Dad; I'll see that it's cleaned off, and if it spots, we can send 1t to be done over. About my own table too if you please--the one I loved and prized so much. Yes, these and many others are the small letters that spell the word 'homeless.' That's true"
 If l could advise every young couple that starts out into the world on the Journey of life," the tired looking man said T would tell them to build them a home, the first thing. Make it as bret ty and as attractive and as livable as possible on the means they possess, for 1t Is part and parcel of yourself. It expresses the fullness of your days; it Is the flower garden of your existence; 1t Is wonderful and beautiful realNty of life. That Is why the old, sweet song
 Home, Sweet Home whenever and wherever we hear it, brings tears to the hardest heart. Few of us can stand a continued existence in any one place unless 1t is our very own. That is why homeless ones, such as I, become world rovers. The house which we have build- ed is in far greater sense home than its mere outward construction of storAe and brick and wood A home is some thing for which we have labored, to which we have contributed our own ideals and personality, and like John Howard Payne I feel that. "A charm rom the sky seems to hallow us there When l get back from this long trip I am going to take the only home coming welcome that expect to receive is that of getting back to my home county. Poor substitute indeed for the altar fires of a once-happy homer'

Young Criminals
from the Cleveland Leader.

From the Cleveland Leader.
 The holdup went wrong. The intend ed victim, forewarned by previous crimes in the neighborhood, had a re- volver and used it. In consequence Cleveland youth, said to be but 16 years old, was taken to a hospital in a dying condition, a highway robber shot in the act.
 Then came revelations and arrests. The boys brother and brother-in- law, neither over 21, were taken into cus- tody on charges of robbery. Confess sions were obtained, stolen goods re- covered. police records searched. It ap- peared that the young men were mem- bers of a bandit gang that had long preyed on citizens and troubled the police. One of them had been arrest ed on a burglary charge and bound over to the grand jury only few days before, presumably being at liberty on bail at the time of the abortive holdup But more significant phase of the young criminals career has to do with an earlier offense. In January, 1914 1t Is recorded they entered West Twenty fifth street shoe store while the owners wife was alone in charge pretended to purchase pair of shoes, asked the woman to fit them, struck her on the head with a blackjack as she stopped, tried to chloroform her and fled when she made an outcry. For
 
 was sentenced to the state reformatory at Lancaster and an older one was sent to the similar institution at Mansfield. The one was released last Christmas and the other was set free only few days before they made so unlucky a choice of victim.
 It Is the old old story, with which Clevelanders in particular are familiar, of criminals turned loose by maudlin well wishers in authority to resume | their criminal careers. It brings up once more the inevitable conclusion: Either the benevolent theory that crime Is disease that can be cured with kindness is entirely wrong, or present practice in administering the kindness cure Is erroneous. In either case the effect Is equally afflicting to | the honest people upon whom the un- reformed sojourners in the reforma-
 tories are so promptly turned out to prey.

Recipe for Cooking Asparagus

Twill you suggest some simple recipe for cooking asparagus? I have never eaten it, but have heard that it is nourish- ing as well as an appetizing dish.
 EDITH F. K."
 hope you have read before now the recipes published in response to the desire of another housekeeper for ways of cook ing asparagus. The estimable vegetable has been unusually fine and abundant this season. l insert recipe for asparagus rolls which I do not think have printed before: Cut the tops from square break fast rolls. and scrape out the crumbs, leaving the walls intact. Butter them, in- side and out, and set them with the tops in the oven to dry and brown lightly. Boil asparagus tips in salted water and drain. Have ready a sauce made by cook ing together tablespoon of butter with one of flour, and adding a cup of milk, scalding hot Cook for a minute, stirring all the time: season with pepper and salt and add the asparagus tips. Fill the hol- lowed rolls with the mixture, fit on the tops, and set in the oven just long enough to make them hot. They make delicious luncheon dish or entree at dinner party. What are known as French rolls are best for this dish.

Cucumber Kinds for Ants

"The bane of housewives during the reign of Junius F1uvius I have found to be the invasion of small ants. I suffered incredible annoyances from them until I covered the outside window 1edges with raw fresh cucumber rinds. Since using this inexpensive remedy I have kept free from the nuisance. l send this to the H. H. c. in order that others may be re- lieved of the presence of the tiny ma rauders. I have used the precaution for two years, and with perfect success, ants fleeing in few hours, not to reappear un- til the next rainy summer season
 ALICE T. w." A jolly note and a trustworthy remedy for a erievous nuisance. The same simple precaution will rid cellar, or storeroom, or kitchen of reaches. I recollect seeing 1t practiced with success in my mothers cellar 50 years ago. All the cucumber parings were saved from those used on the table until the tiny marauders were banished

Boston Baked Beans

twill you be kind enough to publish in the Corner how to cook beans and what kind to ask the grocer for? I was raised in a country where I never saw them cooked. and now have big family where beans would help out. A READER
 Both navy and kidney beans are kept by grocers. Ask for either. Each Is pre- ferred by housewives of equal judgment and experience. Here is a good recipe for preparing kidney beans (dried) in the manner most generally approved by New Englanders: Boston baked beans-Soak a quart of dried beans in cola water all night. Drain in the morning and soak for two hours in water a little more than lukewarm. Drain again and put into a pot with cold water enough to cover them well and bring slowly to the boil When they are tender but not broken drain and turn into a deep bake dish. Cut deep gashes in half pound chunk of fat salt pork and bury it almost out of sight in the center of the dish. It is best to par boil the pork and let it cool before adding to the beans. They will be less greasy and rank when this is done. To a pint of the hot water in which the beans were boiled add a gill of molasses and a salt spoon of French mustard Mix we'll and pour over the beans and pork in the bake dish. Cover closely and bake in a slow, steady oven for four hours. Our New England grandmothes left pork and beans to cook all night in a brick oven from which the fire was drawn after 1t was made red hot It was the sunday
 morning breakfast in thousands of homes The custom is still kept up by some de- scendants of the Mayfiower and Massa- chusetts colonies. Beans are good when soaked all night or for six hours. boiled 1 in salted water, drained, and buttered be- l fore serving Another way Is to prepare them and after draining put into a deep l dish and pour over them rich tomato
 sauce. Cover closely and bake for an i hour at least.
