Just a few years ago Edison re-
sufned his research in acoustics where
he left off when he invented the cy-
Under photograph. He was dissatis-
fled with the efforts Of other inventors
in this field. He set before him the
goal Of absolute recreation Of music.
After countless experiments and the
expenditure Of nearly two millions OF
dollars in experiments alone, Edison
announced that he had succeeded in
re-creating the human voice. He said
that he had found the touchstone Of
acoustics. The Edison diamond disc
photograph was given to the world as
the instrument Of music's recreation.
1t has since been proved on number
less occasions that Edlson's re-crea-
tion Of the human voice cannot be dis
tinguished from the original. For the

1t is safe to say that no man on
earth has ever crowded so much USE
fitness into a single lifetime. The
genius Of Edison which evolved the
electric light-a single invention
which practically turned night into
day throughout the world and did
more to suppress crime than all the
laws passed in. the last century-is
still undimmed. Just a few years
ago he gave to the world his latest
and iavorite invention, the diamond
disc monograph, which actually re-
creates music, as distinguished from
a mere mechanical reproduction Of
musical sounds. NJ
Edison was born at Milan, o., on
February IL, 1S47. Tie early evinced
d love for chemistry and its kindred
subjects. Few men have ever run at
at swiiter pace up the stepping stones
to fame. His first employment was as
q newsboy on the Grand Trunk rail-

paper which at one time had four hum
dred paid subscribers. He next took
up telegraphy and soon became an ex-
pert telegrapher. After five years Of
he came to New York

Any strong-flavored vegetable should
be placed in rapidly boiling salted
water, allowing a large quantity OF
water for,the amount of vegetables; !;
the kettle is left uncovered, and the
vegetable is drained and rinsed with
cold water when it is done. This
method of cooking produces a de-
licious flavor in any strong vegetable.
If Favored vegetable is stewed
or boiled, the amount of water should
be only as much as can be served
with the vegetable, or else the veg
etable water should be saved and used
as a basis for soups.
; Whether the vegetable has been
baked, boiled or steamed, the most
ordinary way of serving is with salt,
pepper, and butter. This method is
really the most satisfactory, for the
fine flavor OF the vegetable is not
masked by highly favored sauce
To a person with nice sense Of
taste the natural flavor of each food
is far to be preferred to any elaborate
added flavor. However, cream
sauce masks the flavor but little, and
adds decidedly to the food value when
a vegetable is he main dish at
meal such~as lunch. A medium cream
sauce is generally used 1.-TWO table
spoons each butter and flour to one
cup milk, and about half as much
cream sauce as diced vegetable is al
lowed. A creamed vegetable may be
placed in baking dish, covered with
buttered crumbs, and Drowned in a
loped vegetable. A little grated cheese
is used with some escalloped veg
etables, notably cabbage or cauli-
flower. lEscalloped corn is alternate
layers of corn, crumbs and seasoning,
with milk poured over the whole, and
crumbs placed on top. Escalloped to-
matoes is dish like escalloped corn
except that no liquid other than the
tomato juice is required.

ing upon elaborate and expensive
foods.
1t is difficult to speak of the food
value of vegetables in general, be-
cause different types have very diff
ferent amounts of the foodstuffs.
Some vegetables, notably dried peas,
beans and lentils, are sources of pro-
tein, and may be the basis of dishes
used as meat substitutes. Other veg
etables furnish fairly large amounts
of carbohydrates, and thus are fuel
foods. The carbohydrates may be in
the form of starch, as in the potato,
or partly in the form of sugar, as in
the carrot. The green vegetables,
such as lettuce, eucumbers, green
beans, etc, are very valuable for the
mineral matter contained, and also for
the cellulose, which acts as rough
age" and aids in the elimination Of
the wastes from the digestive tract
Thus, by judicious selection of veg
etables we can furnish the necessary
foodstuffs to the body, except fat;
and it is an almost universal practice
to serve vegetables either with butter
or with some sauce containing fat.
The cooking problems with vege-
tables are much the same as those
discussed under potato cookery last
week. The fiber must be softened,
the starch, if present, must be thor
oughly cooked; and the mineral mat
ter must be retained wherever posi-
bic. Some vegetables may be baked,
such as squash, sweet potatoes, or
tomatoes and the baking process is
very satisfactory from the standpoint
of flavor and digestibility; or the veg
etable may be steamed, an equally
satisfactory process, and applicable to
more types of vegetables.
With one type of vegetable we sac
rifice mineral 1natter to flavor--that
type is the strong-flavored vegetable
illustrated by the onion or cabbage.

Llmbless Persons Do Remarkable Work

Mrs. Nickleby referred to as "the
limbless wonder" was the child of a
Somersetshire farm laborer. She was
born entirely without limbs, and from
her birthNwhich occurred in 1900, at
tracted great attention. Fortunately
for the little Sarah, the vicar Of the
parish took great interest in the
afflicted child and as she showed un-
usual intelligence, even when only z
years old, taught her to read.-
Sarah could read and could write
by holding a pencil in her mouth
when she was 8, and by the time she
was S she was accustomed to write
and read letters for the illiterate rus
tics in the neighborhood. Her parents
apprenticed, or rather sold, her for
SIS a year to Snowman named
Dukes for sixteen years when she
was IL, and as her sole amusement
was drawing she had by that time
obtained considerable, but untaught,
proficiency with her pencil.

with at least a score of years yet

as the lake fed by mountain springs,
she drafted the deed for this home to
her son. No one can ever talk truth

failing health" or Inability to di-

admirable, and truly selfsufficient
woman, the widow and executrix Of

When she said, in the deed, that the
equivalent which the son rendered in
the exchange OF the family home was
love and consideration" she, meant it.
That "love and consideration" were
worth $5,000,000 to her. Doubtless she
considered them cheap at the price.
Probably this young man is one Of
the kind who pinches his mothers S
cheek and calls her his best girl.
When the roses of youth vanish be-
hind the gray veil which the years
spread over her cheeks, a woman
doesn't expect such lovemaking from
any one save her son. From him it
is thrice welcome.
Doubtless he wrote love letters to
his mother. while he was at college.

Capes have, there is no doubt, come

Gray chiffon lined with blue chiffon

also iridescent stuffs lined with tulle,
Some sports coats for winter are in
Jersey cloth bound with a plain color;
at the neck and in front are very wide
and always girdled.
The preferred colors are navy and
other blue shades, dark green, wine,
black and gray. There is decided
fancy for gray fur as trimming.
Automobile coats are of many
styles and colcrs, but one Of the most
interesting new types has dolman-like
sleeves that mean comfort as we'll as

For evening dresses for young girls
flesh color and light gray look well,
some being made with narrow founc-

Matching caps for evening and mo-
