CHERRY PIE AT ITS BEST
Time and Attention Given to This De-
licious Dessert Will Be Found
Well Worth While.

It's all very well for nursery land
Billy to say "She can make cherry
pie quick's cat can wink her eye," but
making cherry pies isn't quick, and
even the pitting of the cherries Is a
tedious chore. Pitting cherries is one
of those things best done by hand i;
there never was pie made from ma
chine-pitted 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 jagged
hare; the machine just spoils the taste
and makes it 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 it into hot
oven, after priclling it to keep it 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 q rich brown it's a dish for a
king.

HAD A FEAR OF LIGHTNING
Lifelong Dread Made Woman Uncon-
scious and She Died From
Fright.

During thunderstorm at Newton,
N. j., woman who through all her
life of fifty years had felt nervous
dread of lightning" became uncon-
scious from fright and died.
Cannot the multitudes of otherwise
rational people who are obsessed by
the same dread take counsel of the
fate of this unfortunate and allay
their fears? asks the New York World.
They suffer an access of terror in
every thunderstorm, and in effect I'M
dergo the agony Of death many times.
Yet there are few other forms Of
death so painless or so remote. In
1912 in the whole country only 243 per-
sons were killed by lightning, of whom
but AZ were females. Women, who
mainly feel this fear. should be en-
couraged by their greater immunity.
But, in fact, twice as many people
are burned to death in CONGREGATIONS
in year as are killed by thunderbolts,
and the number of those who die from
organic heart disease compared with
those who die from lightning Is as 1854
to 1.
No doubt the superstition that has
attached from the earliest times to
deaths by lightning has had some
thing to do with the survival of the
fear. People who view their inescap-
able exit from this world with philos-
ophy should be ready to accept light
ming stroke as an end as easy as any
other. 1t is too instantaneous to admit
of physical sensation. while the fear
ridden are assured that if the flash is
seen the sufferer is safe.

RESEARCH WORK IN AMERICA
Future viii Witness Wider Appiica-
ton of Principle Which Has A.
ready Done SO Much.

Prophecy is double-edged tool with
a peculiar facility for injuring the user,
but the activity Of the present leads
one to predict that each succeeding
year will bring us nearer to the state
in which the research work of the
country will be national in both scope
and effort.
The federal government and the
states have done and are conducting
research of immense value to agricul-
ture. the foundation of industry; but
the future will witness a more general
application Of this principle-an active
national interest in industrial research
and this will serve as healthy sub
sidy for American manufacturers.
Research has enabled our industries
to make rapid strides. The recogni-
ton of this fact has occasiOned a re-
cent awakening to an increased sense
Of appreciation of the need Of greater
facilities for insuring the scientific de-
velopment and extension of industry
and commerce and of promoting indus
trial research.

LAUNDRY HINTS OF VALUE
Easy Method of Getting Rid of Fruit
Stsins-To Set Coiors in Wash
able Goods.

A fruit stain on the best linen is
problem which many housewives find
difficult to solve. There is a very good
remedy in n paste made of soda and
water, which when rubbed on the spot
will restore the garment to its original
color. If the spot is particularly stub
born hold it over steaming kettle or
allow the boiling water to run through
it and it will quite disappear.
Often careless maid will insist up
on washing white and colored clothes
together much to the peril of the white
garments. If the latter are injured by
their contact with color, by boiling in
gar has been added, they should be-
come white again.
A simple way to set colors in wash
able goods is by soaking them previous
to washing in water, to which a little
oxgall has been added. Almost tea
spoonful of oxgall to a gallon Of water
should be used.
Delicately colOred socks and stock
ings are apt to fade in washing. II
they are soaked for night in a pail
containing turpentine, then wrung out
and dried, the colors will be set and
they can afterward be washed without
fading.
To remove troublesome spots from a
garment try the yolk of an egg before
washing. This is effective and not at
all injurious to perishable colors.
Do not dry a silk garment after
washing; instead, roll it up in clean
white cloth for about half an hour and
iron it while damp.

Washing Sweaters.

''When l washed my fine white
sweater it shrank SO that I was scarce
ly able TO get it on" said young
housewife the other day. ''The bottom
dried in ripples and the pockets
stretched TO twice their size. Next
time l stitched the pockets in place be-
fore wetting. l prepared iuke-warm
sudS of white soap and carefully
washed the sweater in this, afrerward
rinsing it several times. Then
squeezed it dry. Over my dressmakers'
form l pinned a sheet and put the
sweater on the form, patting into
shape and stuffing each arm with d
rolled bath towel. When dry it was as
large as when new and fitted me even

GOT IN WRONG EITHER WAY
MIR. Homebody "caIIed Down" When
| He Took Notice, and Roasted"
When He Didn't.

"Why are you looking ut me like
! .hat?" Mrs. HOmebody inquired of her
husband according to the Brooklyn
Times.
"What have you been doing to your
hair? 1t looks different" said Mr..
Homebody, who had just come in.
His wife put down the book she had
been reading, and released Il sigh.
Goodness gra-cious." she ex-
claimed, cant body do little thing
like fixing hair without being stared
out of countenance and put through
the third degree? I haven't been do
ing thing 10 my hair. l was simply
in hurry this afternoon and piled
little more or less on the sides; that's
all. | didn't suppose 1t was conspicu-
Gus. Gracious I'm all out of breath
explaining. You notice every little
thing"
Mr.. Homebody eXtricated himself by
saying it looked NICE and let it go
at that.
A week later Mrs. Homebody went
to the hairdreSsers, and when that
def person had finished with her she
regarded herself in the mirror with
justifiable satisfaction. That evening,
at dinner. although the soft glow of
the shaded light pleasantly enhanced
the hair(lresser's art, friend husband,
sitting opposite, said never q word.
Mrs. Homebody stood it as long as
she could.
"Of what use is It," she said finally,
"tO try to look ones best in this
house? Ever since you sat down I've
been waiting for you to say something.
but suppose 1 might wait till dooms-
day. Don't you notice my hair? Doesn't
it look different?"
Mr. Homebody stopped eating and
looked, but, Inanlike, he overdid it.
Have you got to gaze at ME as long
as that to make sureT asked Mrs.
Homebody; why, l should think you
could have told in half second. l
really believe l could come to dinner
in a powdered wig and you'd look
squarely at me all through the meal
and say nothing to show that you saw.
You never notice thing
I'm sorry, DEAR" said Mr.. Home
body; 81 did notice that your hair
looked different, but"
but, if 1 hadn't spoken, you'd have
kept it to yourself" was the way his
wife finished the sentence. Good sra-
cious, don't you know that woman
likes a man to be observant and to
tell her when he takes notice."

First Persian Newspaper.

The first copy of what purports to
be the first Persian newspaper in the
world has just been issued in New
York under the title Of the Persian
American Courier" The only cause
for establishment in this connection
is that no such publication has APP
peared heretofore in the greater city.
Practically every other nationality,
language, and dialect is represented
by the New York press. inclusive OF
Lettish, Finnish, Plattdeutsch, Slovak-
ian, Slovene, Croat, and Arabic. The
editor of this latest conner says that
he has struggled with the four hun
dred and four small and four hun
dred and four capital letters of the
Persian alphabet and reduced them to
the dimensions of a linotype key
board, which finally made his publica-
ton possible. Seeing that there are
about six Arabic newspapers in town
and that the Arabic and Persian al
phabets are closely related, the editor,
at any rate, had several models by
following which his work must have
been greatly expedited.-New York

ORDERING Meals by Telephone.

A cafe in Plainfeld, N. j., has in
stalled unique system for the con-
venience Of its diners. Whether the
plan will eventually be welcomed by
the dining public has still to be proved,
but it has the merits of ingenuity and
novelty. Each table in this enterpris-
ing cafe is connected directly with the
kitchen and the head chef by means of
a telephone. The fastidious diner, in
stead of trusting the fine points of his
order to a mere waiter, tells them di-
rectly into the ear of the chef. Thus
he can have his steak cooked to the
exact turn he likes and get exactly
the proper number Of drops of season
Ing in the sauces.

By NELLIE MAXWELL, Department of
Farmers Institutes of the University of
wisconsin,
Have YOU gone through your home,
putting away many pieces of bric-a-
brac, too choice with associations to
give away, perfectly useless, incOngru-
Gus things, taking up space and caus-
ing needless handling to keep in or
der?
If not, do, for the love and comfort
of your family. If these things have
real value shut them away for time,
at least. and they will be enjoyed
again, absence making the heart grow
fonder."
1t is becoming more and more the
custom for housewives to go through
boxes. drawers and closets and give to
rummage sales, grab-bags and fairs
things that have passed their day.
Books. magazines, pictures. china and
ornaments may be passed on to greater
usefulness.
Many little people are made glad by
a bit of finery for the doll or things to
be used in the playhouse, which take
but little thought to place in their
hands. What gain for repOse and
beauty, to say nothing of space, and
time for important duties. if these OBJ
jects could be eliminated. Simplicity
is the keynote of the age, and the COM
Portable home is restful place.
Emerson says a lady is serene. Doc
tors tell us that hurry, like worry, is
death to good looks and an enemy to
health as well. The people who accom-
plish the most in the worlds work are
those who plan well and serenely ac-
complish their task
Did you ever time yourself on GER
tain piece of work, whether making
buttonhOle or frying doughnuts? If you
have you know the time needed and
will be able to plan your day. OF
course. there are always the unexpect-
ed Interruptions which we cannot plan
on, but it is wise to know the length
of time it takes to accomplish certain
definite pieces of work.
If mistresses had better under
standing of these things there would
be more peace and harmony in the
household, and maid who had a two
weeks washing under way would not
be asked to prepare dinner for invited
guests. 1t is the inconsiderate women
who are helping to keep the servant
problem unsolved, and are always look
ing for a servant.
If one is not possessed with the pre-
ciOus power of concentration, use an
alarm clock and set it at the time that
dinner is to be started or the bread put
into or taken out of the oven. 1t takes
but an instant to provide this security
and it so relieves the mind that the
whole attention may be put upon what
ever work is at hand.
When we learn to keep our sense of
proportion and know that, however de-
sirable it may be to have the washing
out early, a sweet temper, calm and
quiet mind. are much more to be de-
sired and vastly more appreciated by
the home folk.

Life has been defined as the func-
tioning of an organism with its envir-
onment. All life therefore is form
of knowledge, and is high or low,
broad or narrow, in accordance with
the environment that is apprehended.
The worm has a low order of life be-
cause it's environment is simply the
soil. The worm knows nothing but
mud, and that by the one sense OF
touch. Bird life is higher than worm
life. The bird knows the earth and
the air, the sky and the clouds, and
has delight in the fellowship and song
of It's mates. Mans life is the highest
of earthly creatures, because his range
Of knowledge is the widest. He knows
more about the earth than the worm,
and more about air and cloud and sky
than can the bird. He apprehends the
conditions of his own country and age,
and then sweeps in thought the con-
ditions of other lands and times. He
multiplies his sciences until these eni-
brace the multiplied facts of earth and
air and sky. He forms his philoso-
phies dealing with the mystery OF ex-
istence. Mans life is thus the highest
of the earthly creation because the
widest iE knowledge.
Eternal Life.
The widest circle Of human knowl-
edge has to- do with God. Science ex-
ults in the scope of her domain when
she turns the pages of the rocks to
read the story of earth, or sweeps the
heavens with the telescope, to mark
out the pathway of the stars, but there
is truth deeper than that written on
the foundations Of the earth. and high
er than that written upon the scroll
of heaven with burning stars. There
is sun behind the sun. God is the
widest circle of truth.
In the realm of the physical the du-
ration of life depends upon maintain
ing correspondence between the or
ganism and it's environment. If either
fails the issue is death. The life Of
the fish continues while its inner vi
tally has the supporting influence of

ity be impaired, or let the stream run
dry, death must follow. In like man.
ner man has political life when his
soul interests are awake to political
surroundings, and when these sur
roundings minister to a continued in
terest. Let there be a change toward
Indifference in the soul Of the man, or
some separation from political sur
roundings, and there Is an end of
what we term political life. Mans
spiritual life has in it the element Of
the eternal because his fellowship is
with the eternal God. Through regen-
GRAFTON the soul of man is made alive
by the life of God. In Christian liv-
ing the soul of man abides in contact
with the living God. The conditions of
an endless existence are therefore fur
nished. The redeemed soul has in it
the life of God and has for its envir-
onment God himself the eternal one.
The conditions for both happy and
an endless experience are therefore
furnished through the Gospel of Jesus

WESTERN CANADA
Cooperative Creameries Show
Tremendous Increase in
Butter Production.

The Dairy Commissioner, at first an
nual convention of Saskatchewan
Dairymen's association reviewed pro-
gress of 1915 which shows a great in
crease in the butter production Of the
cooperative creameries amounting to
100000 lbs. He also said the i'm
provement in quality Is shown by the
preference accorded Saskatchewan
butter in outside markets. Shipments
out of the province for the year to-
tailed SO carloads.
According to bulletin just issued by
the Manitoba department of agricul-
ture, the dairy industry had a very
successful year In 1915. There was an
increase of over 100000 lbs. of cream
cry butter produced, as against the
previous year, about 100000 lbs. in
crease in dairy butter and over $4,000
lbs. increase in the cheese output. The
increase Of the total value Of milk and
milk products was over $4,000. The
production of dairy butter for Mani
toba during the year was ALSO, 444 lbs.
and 1t brought an average price of 23c
per h.; of creamery butter 5,S3966
lbs. were produced which commanded
zoe per lib. on the average; cheese pro-
duction was 726, 725 lbs. which sold at
an average price Of 15c-the total
value of these three products is given
as $2,760,69S, in addition to which the
milk produced is valued at 1926, $50
and the cream at $15S,S27, the average
price Of the milk being reckoned at
2.1c per lb. and Of sweet cream at 32c
per lb. butter-fat. In connection with
note that almost the most important
fodder crop now is corn, of which the
1915 production amounted to 100 1872
tons. The biggest cultivated fodder
crop is timothy which for last season
produced 193,357 tons and the next
most popular crop was bronze grass
with 1876 tons; of alfalfa and clover
there were produced some $4,000 tons.
The number of cattle in the province
is given as 631 ,0O5, which is an in
crease of 10000 over the previous
year.

market.
Cardston, Alberta, creamery in 1915
paid its patrons rate of 271Sc per

lbs. cheese. Average price realized for
butter was 2SA cents.
The development of the dairy indus
try of Northern Alberta is well indf-
Gated by the growth of a prominent
dairy business here, which in 1915 pro-
duced 2,525,0OO lbs. butter. an increase
Of 100000 lbs. over the previous year.

Clean Empty Bottles.

AS soon as milk bottle is emptied,
rinse it thoroughly with cold water. Do
not return dirty bottles and do not use
milk bottles except to hold milk. Re-
turning dirty bottles to the milkman
may mean that few days later either
you or your neighbOrs will get con-
taminated milk Milk bottles should
never be taken into sick room. In
case of infectious or contagious dis
ease all bottles should be boiled thor
oughly and should not be returned to
sion of the attending physician. Such
diseases easily can be made epidemic
through disregard of this precaution.
