ii. Christmas, 1910.

If ever there was Il time when we
should turn our faces To the whole
world it is this Christmas of 1916. II
is undoubtedly true that our prosper
disaster which has come TO the war
stricken world. our luxury really
fauntS itself in the face of starving
nations. The gifts which were asked
for and received last October for two
ity has been increased because of the
of these starving nations amounted to
less than million dollars. They will
not be enough to sustain the lie OF
those who are starving in these two
nations alone for more than three or
four weeks. 1t must be admitted
that our prosperity has made us eX-
travagant beyond reason. As a ma
lion we seem to have lost our sense
of responsibility to those who are
suffering. In every church and COM

Ill. "The Precious Name"
Isaiah sees, in his prophecy, the
child upon whom the government Is
placed He says: His name shall
be called Wonderful, Counsellor,
Mighty God, Everlasting Father,
Prince of Peace" Israel was in bad
way in Isaiah's time. This prophecy
was spoken 732 b. c., about the time
of Israel's first great captivity. 1t
was spoken at Jerusalem, the home OF
Isaiah. 1t presents Jesus Christ as
the hope of the world.
No wonder the name of Jesus has
become precious. No wonder we
praise Him in song. He has made
known TO us the heart of God himself
He has challenged the attention OF
man. Government is slowly being
shaped up according to His ideals or
the value in human life. He is 1.-The
Prince of Peace" Peace comes in
the human heart when we obey and
follow Him. Peace comes in com
munities and commonwealths when
His ideals prevail. Peace will come
in this warning world when we have
courage to try His plans for living and
carry out His principles of conduct

Here is satisfactory way Of wash.
ing the blankets before putting them
away for the summer: Slice half a
cake of washing soap into two quarts
of water; set in the stove and stir
until dissolved. When dissolved, ndd
cold water In large tub. To this
soapy water add four tablespoonfuls of
powdered borax. Soak the blankets In
this overnight. Then wash them In
this water, rinse them twice In cold

This recipe will wash four blankets.
Be sure and use only cold water and
they will come out as soft and beauti.

sometimes be cleaned by | lnging them

HEAD HUNTERS GETTING BUSY
Natives OF Solomon Island Take Ad-
vantage OF War TO Gather
Trophies.

At first sight there does not seem
TO be very close connection between
the war In Europe and head hunting
In the Solomon islands. Nevertheless,
the one arises from the other.
Previous to the outbreak OF the
war, according to Vancouver Worlds
Sydney IN. s. W. correspondent. Brit
ish, and occasionally German war
ships patrollyed the islands and en-
deavored to keep down canniballsm
among the natives, who are largely of
Papuan or Malaysian stock. How
ever, the requirements for the trans
port OF troops led to the recall OF the
British warships-and the happy head
hunter has been free to follow his own
devious courses.
In one raid made by mountain
tribe upon a small village near the
coast no less than ~ heads were Sc
cured. No punishment followed be-
cause the whites were unable to or
ganize In time. As consequence
the raids are growing more dangerous
and, although as yet no Europeans
have been attacked, planters have con
stantly 10 keep on their guard.

A Ton.Welaht Turtle.

That turtle weighing nearly a tom
tfisherman's weightD lately landed at
Penzance cannot be either the green
turtle, associated with civic feasts, or
the hawks bill, from which we get tor
tOise shell. These two belong to trop-
ical seas, and are OF smaller dimen-
sions. The ponderous ''hnseck" caught
on Scnlly must be "lcggerhead" tur-
tie. which occurs In the Mediterranean
and sometimes visits our southern
coasts. The "loggerhead" is the only
carniverous turtle, and distinguished
from the green variety by size, shape
OF head, and number of plates on the
armor. But he is occasionally cooked
In mistake for his edible cousin, with
disastrous results to the diners.-Lon-

CHERRY PIE AT ITS BEST
licious Dessert VIII Be Found
Well Worth While.

It's all very well for nursery land
Billy to say "She can make cherry
pie quick's cut can wink her eye" but
making cherry pies isn't quick, and
even the pitting of the cherries is n
tedious chore. Pitting cherries Is one
of those things best done by hand |;
there never was pie made from ma
chlne-pltted cherries to compare IN
flavor with the ones squeezed out with
her own fair fingers. It's like the meat
chopper for chicken salad or jugged
hare: the machine just spoils the taste
and makes II like anybody's instead OF
"hers."
But she has got several wrinkles not
possessed by grandma. For one thing,
she brushes the very rich and paper
thin pie crust with which she lines
the deep earthen pie dish, with white
of egg. Then she slips II into hot
oven, after prlcking II to keep II from
blistering. Then come the cherries
piled In by the fistfull and the juice
well mixed with sugar, so 1t is almost
solid. And then atop the crust is also
brushed over the under side with white
of egg and pricked well to allow the
steam to escape. The oven should be
hot, but not scorching. and when the
pie is rich brown it's dish for q
king.

principle and method Of operation, OF

to be inferred, II consists of a small

at any predetermined spot within a
certain radius. The projectile, which
is about twelve feet in length, forms
the body of the machine and is divided
into two compartments. The propel-
Ter is mounted at the front end of II,
while the shaft extends through the
entire torpedo to the rear compart-
ment, where an 1S-horsepower motor
Is housed. The speed and course of

IMPORTANT ARTICLE OF FOOD
Butter Is Three-Times-a-Day Necessity
on Tab!es-cIeanllness Is
Great Essential.

Good butter, next to good bread, is
the most important article Of food,
and as II is a three-times-a-day ne
cesslty on our tables, its proper MAX
Ing is Of great Importance. Successful
butter-making depends most of all on
cleanliness Of stables, cows, mixers
and pals, along with a clean, we'll
ventilated dairy room and utensils.
Everyone needs fat, and butter Is the
most wholesome as well as most agree
able way Of taking 1t into the system.
Cream absorbs whatever odor sur
rounds II and then passes II on to the
butter, SO milk should not be kept In
the kitchen where cooking Is done,
and especially II the men of the family
have the habit OF smoking there, as
this gives II very dlsagreeable taste.
Butter made from well-ripened cream
has the best favor, and to obtain this
ripening before the cream is so old as
to become rancid, a starter" of a
tablespoonful or two of thick sour milk
Is usually added to the new milk when
set TO raise.
Butter churned from perfectly sweet
cream has less flavor, but some people
prefer It. II is a mistake to churn
butter at too high a temperature in
order to make it come quickly, for II
contains more buttermilk, is apt TO be
greasy and pale In color. II the cream
must be kept for several days before
churning, IL should be In a cool place.
II for any reason the churn is not per-
fectly sweet after thorough washing
and scalding, rinse 1t well with cold
lime water.

Russia's Natural Roads.

Russia is almost readless land. 1t
is inconceivable to the foreign visitor
who has never left the beaten track of
the railways In Russia how great en-
pire can have subsisted so long and so
successfully without even a pretense at
roads. The secret lies In the fact that
for five or six months In the year ma
ture herself provides roads over the
greater part of Russla-admirable
smooth, CLASSY roadways over hard
worn snow.
The traffic is further cheapened over
these roads by the substitution Of
sledge-runner for the wheel and axle.
This brings the cost of land carriage ms
near the cheapness of water-borpe
freight as possible and it is the princi-
pal reason why Russia in the twentieth
century is still roadless land.

ALKALl WATER NOT HARMFUL
Results Obtained In Experiments Con-
dueted by Dairy Department Of
South Dakota College.

The dairy husbnndry department OF
the South Dakota State college has
conducted experiments to determine
the effect Of alkali water on dairy
cattle. The results Of these expert
ments, as published In station bulle-
tin lat, show that the drinking OF
alkali water by dairy cows did not pro-
duce "alkali disease" or even the
slightest indication OF II.
The postmortem examination and
The Beaver herald. [volume] (Beaver, O.T. [Okla.]) 1895-1923, 1916-08-31

analyses Of the vital organs Of the
cows used in the experiments revealed
nothing abnormal. Considering the
fact that the strongest alkali well wa
ter was used 1t is reasonable to con-
clude that the alkali disease of cows
is not produced by drinking alkali wa
ter.
This conclusion does not include wa
ter which at times collects In partly
dried-up ponds.

and cows should not be permitted to
become SO thirsty as to be forced to
