MISS MILLAR DELIGHTS
 LARGE NUMBERS

Miss Elinor Stafford Millar, whose Bible talks are being heard and enjoyed by most discriminating audience, both at the noon hour at the First Presby- terian church and in the evenings at the Y. w. c. A., has charmed and at- tracted all classes who have heard her. Miss Millar Is an Australian by birth and her talks are most interesting and fas- cinating.
 Miss Mllar talked to the friends of Mrs. James Bowron on Thursday at tea about ner home land, Australia. In most clev- CT manner Miss Millar began her talk by saying that the Americans looked upon Australia as some small village far, far away, which was not the case, for the United States was the country far away, and that Australia was larger than the United States. She spoke of the seasons of Australia, saying that something was wrong with the seasons of America for Christmas in Perth, West Australia, her home, was like the Fourth of July iL America. She spoke of the natural beauty the city and country life. of the singing birds, of the government, and of the equa franchise for women in Australia.
 One very thrilling feature of Miss Mil lars talk was her account of the war She spoke of the horrors of war and oi the number of Australian lives that had been lost. which was over 5O.O00, Australia having already sent over 300, GOO men. Her account was very touching, as Miss Mil lar has a brother and several nephews al the front. her brother. Mr. Arthur Dams

 Stir together one cup of boiling water and one of milk, slightly warmed, g. ta- blespoon of pure lard and one of white sugar. Then add a yeast cake dissolved in half cup of warm water. Beat in gradually cup of white waterground cornmeal and two of gluten flour, or enough to make a soft dough. Knead steadily for 10 minutes; cover and let the dough rise until it doubles the origi- nal bulk. Work in then a teaspoon of salt, and make into loaves. Give it the second rising and as before let it double the original size. Bake in a steady oven: cover with white paper after it gains its full height Then brown. Those who have tried this find it palatable and di- gestible. Members are invited to con- tribute tried and true recipes for gluten bread. I know that given here to be good, but do not claim for it perfection in that line

 Oatmeal Bread-Two cups of oatmeal one teaspoon of salt, one tablespoon of lard. Pour over these three things one pint of boiling water. When cool add one cup of molasses, one yeast cake dissolved in a tablespoon of warm water. Do this at noon, let all stand until night, then mix up stiff with wheat flour.

 These may be useful when you have brought down flesh to the desired weight. They are attractive to the fancy, and. as l can testify, more than palatable.

The Lenten Season Brings Fort1 the
 Question: What Is She Edtir6?"
Ny DOLLY pALRY MPLR

N o you happen to recall the hens N in Rostand's brilliant satire on A humankind, "Chanticler, and how, when one or the other of these fowls appeared to be suddenly absorbed in anything all the rest ran eagerly for ward clucking:
 Whats she eating?"
 They were made to seem tame and un- aspiring enough, to be sure, in compari- son to the brilliant hen-pheasant, yet after all they were only following wom- ans mission, world without end, to keep an alert eye to the provisioning of the household.
 "Chanticler," urged to dangerous liberty by the golden hen-pheasant, and encoun- tering disaster and disilluson through his rashness, was glad enough to return the adoration of his faithful hens, and to the enjoyment of food, about which they concerned their innocent minds.
 With the advent of Lent, when the de- vout special denials are expected in the matter of abstaining from certain foods. the question: What's she eating?" be- comes really vital one to conscientious housewives, who realize that upon the foods they provide deepnd the health of their families; hence during the Lenten season it behooves the housewife to pay especial attention to the preparation of old foods in new styles and more appe- tiZing manner.
 Te one who turns with distaste from mashed potatoes will eat with genuine rel ish the same vegetable if after mashing you place them in a baking dish nodded to pyramid and delicately Drowned in a hot oven.
 After few short weeks of Lent, people get to the point where they hate eggs like game bird hates a red dog; they even hate the name of a chicken coop. But serve the eggs in a new way, gar nished and arranged differently from the same old seven and six way, and your family will welcome them when before they have refused to eat them.
 The good housewife has splendid chance during Lent to show her versa tility in the matter of foodstuffs, for

appearance of these yards is very strik- ing, but the economic phase of the change which is taking place. The stacking machine is cutting the cost of piling and unpiling lumber, economizing space, lessening the cost of roofing lum- Der and pile bases, and also lowering labor costs.
 The machine will handle boards of any width not greater than Is inches, nor thicker than 4 inches, and in lengths from to "A feet. It may be moved from one stack to another readily and will unpile stack just as rapidly as it builds it. In addition to it's other func- tions, the apparatus furnishes an effec- tive fire-fighting equipment as shown by an illustration in the Popular Mechanics Magazine. At the upper end of large pipe extending to the top of the stacker a monitor nozzle is mounted. In case of fire breaking out in a yard, fire hose may be connected at the lower end of the pipe The machine then becomes a ire-fighting tower from which a blaze may be combated. Since the monitor nozzle can be turned in any direction and the apparatus moved from one point to another, 1t is a valuable protection for a yard.
