ADDITIONAL SOCIETY
PUMPKIN PIE HINTS.

A pumpkin for pies should not be too
large, as the fiber is not always fine
in the largest ones. First. cut the
pumpkin into pieces with large meat
or carving knife. The work will be
easier If you have a board on which
to cut the pumpkin, and drive the knife
with the aid of a hatchet. Pare the
pieces and cut into inch squares. If you
have never tried steaming pumpkin for
pies, do so. 1t quickly cooks the pump
kin and leaves it perfectly dry, smooth.
and easy to mash. If boiled, 1t must be
boiled down, then drained.
A watery pumpkin or a stringy one
will not make a good pie. Use plenty
of eggs, fresh milk. and enough CHINA
mon or spices to destroy the pumpkin
flavor. A pie tasting too strongly of
pumpkin. is not geod. The following
is good recipe: One quart of cooked
pumpkin, one cupful OF sugar, two
eggs, two tablespoonsful of cornstarch.
half a teaspoonful each of cinnamon
and all-spice, one-fourth of teaspoon
full of cloves, and one-fotrth Of a tea
spoonful of nutmeg grated.
Stir all together. Pick the seed end
of the cloves off if you do not want
your pies dark. Let two cupsful OF
sweet milk get boiling hot, then pour
1t in the pumpkin, stirring well. This
is enough for four pies. Line the pans
with a good pie paste, fill with the
pumpkin, and bake with one crust.
Pumpkin pie without crust is delicious.
Prepare the pumpkin in the usual way.
then butter the pie tins, and sprinkle
granulated cornmeal thinly over the
tins, leaving no bare spots. Pour In
the mixture and bake.

What Is The Mind?

This is a question which is hard to
answer. The mind, the soul, or the
spirit. or whatever you might call it, is
something that no one can explain. You
know it is there and that it has con-
troll Of every part of your bodily sys-
tenn, but you cannot see it, or feel it.,
or get hold of it. When a person dies,
it seems every part Of the body is
there the same as before, but it is dead.
There is no life to it; the spirit is
gone. This spirit has everything to do
with persons health. If you believe in
a certain way of treatment Of your
body when ill, it is the way for you to
be treated, as the mind then will help
you to get well, but il you have no
faith in it, it will be useless to con-
tinue the treatment, as your mind then
will work against you, and there will
be poor show for you to get well. At
the Nelson Sanitarium we have q num-
Der Of different methods and can suit
almost any one. Mr.. Nelson is a grad
uate chiropractor and is very careful in
his spinal adjustments, which OF course
is a necessary thing. Seventy five per
cent Of the American people are more

S1,86S,O64
PAID OUT TO
WORKlNGMEN
That Sum Divided Between
1855 Injured Under
Liability Law
PAYING S27 WEEKLY
Loss of Eyes Cost Employ
ers $87,78 in the Last
SO Months

Compensation Of S1,S65, 5,O6474 was
paid Minnesota workmen for injuries
and to cover medical costs between oct.
l, 1913, when the compensation act went
into effect, and June 80. 1916, the per-
iOd covered by report made public by
the Minnesota department of labor.
OF this sum $9S3,41S was for 12.-
76S cases that had been settled by June
80; S2S9,362.33 paid on S27 cases In
which payment was still in progress,
and $592.2S4.35 for medical care OF in
jured wOrkmen.
Few Cases to Court.
The digest shows that:
The average rate of compensa-
ton in Minnesota liability cases Is
$3.50 week.
The percentage of compensation
to wage loss is 37.5 per cent.
Loss of fingers cost employers
$154.037.79 in 33 months.
Loss of eyes cost employers
$S7,7S5.66 in 3S months.
Only one compensation case in
200 becomes the subject Of court
dispute.
The two weeks waiting period
before compensation begins barred
$4,000 slightly injured men from
receiving reimbursement.
OF 450 fatal and 36.476 nonfatal acci-
dents occurring, almost $4,000 had on
June 80 been wiped off the books. These
include the cases on which payments
have been completed and $4,000 cases
which did not come under liability re-
quirements. as the worker was laid up
for less than two weeks.
At the close of the period $50 cases
which would require payment of COM
penSation remained on the books some
of them of recent origin. In some the
injured worker had disappeared without
claiming his settlement. There re-
mained also the S27 cases in progress
of cash settlement.
The compensation average Of 81 IL
per cent of wage loss is computed on
the 11.53S men who received compen-
satiOn for temporary disabilities which
caused them wage loss of $1,320,6S1.
They received compensation Of $496,-
SO422.
Minnesota's compensation amounts to
so per cent of wages with payment be-
gun after two weeks Of disability.
Two Weeks Clause Figures.
If the waiting period were reduced
from two weeks to one, payment would
have been made in 5000 more cases and
would have amounted to an additional
$4,000
Figures show that few of the com
pensation cases are disputed in the
courts District courts decided 146 cases
up to June 80 and the supreme court
q cases.
In 19 cases where employers refused
to admit a claim or make a payment,
Is were decided in favor of the work
man. SiXty-three other court cases
were merely decisions on the amount
due, no question of the liability arising.
