Atlanta "Uncle Remus" was even a

Riley's innate mOdesty, always to be
reckoned with, was likely to smother
his companiOnableness in the presence
Of ultra-literary ~personages. His re-
spect for scholarship, for literary So

meet those who, he imagined, breathed
an ether to which he was unacclimat-
ed. At a small dinner in honor of
Henry James he maintained q strict

EAT APPLE FREELY
WELL DESCRIBED AS SUBST..
TUTE FOR MEDICINE.
Humble Fruit, Because 1t Is So Com
non, Has Not Been Received With
the Appreciation That 1t
Deserves.

Because 1t is a common fruit, the
apple is not appreciated at its full
value. AS one authority states, its
rank in value among fruits is equal to
wheat among cereals. Its proportion
of salts and phosphates helps to keep
the liver, stomach and intestines in a
healthy condition. A diet of apples is
considered by some to be as effective
as the famous grape cure. In a word,
apples, especially when eaten in simple
form, are a valuable and inexpensive
substitute for medicine.
Use early apples very freely, es-
pecially ulcOOked, for dessert. To give
variety to the menus, serve apples in
the many ~appetiz.ng desserts easy to
prepare.
Avoid overeating, use meat sparing-
ly. Eat eggs, fish and vegetables. Give
the children eggs and milk to supply
energy and building material. As
fresh vegetables are abundant, it is
possible virtually to eliminate meat
and revel in the months special re-
sources. Avoid rich pastry, and let
desserts be light, easily made and re-
freShing. Heroically urn your eyes
from recipes for pies and elaborate
buildings.
Seek originality in using f!avors and
~seasonings; don't be afraid to intro
duce to your family an old friend in a
new dress Of different ~Seasonings.
Variety, wen in ~SeasOninSs, may help
to keep a family from getting into ruts.
A cook of my acquaintance sometimes
puts a tiny dust of cinnamon and gin
ger into her vegetable cream soup;
they lend a unique but subtle flavor.
Venture some combinations which
may not be as we'll liked. Cut loose
from what one likes best" and give
the palate a surprise party, for psyche
logical reasons, at least.
In planning all meals avoid combina-
tons which give a SamenesS of types
Of food. For instance, never combine
in q meal such dishes as cream of pO-
tatO soup, halibut with egg sauce,
mashed potato and corn, cream cheese,
salad and junket. Always remember
that a rich soup is suitable to precede
only a moderately hearty course that
a very heavy main urse should be
followed by a light salad and a deli
cate dessert, instead, for instance, of
serving mince pie and cheese after a
rOast-beef course.

proportion of the skin.-EXchange.

LIGHTNING DID GOOD WORK
Cowboys Indigestion Cured in Record
Time as the Result of a Severe
Shock.

According to Mike Heating, a cow
boy employed on the ranch Of j. III.
Boyce near Delhart, Tex, no remedy
can begin to compare with a stroke of
lightning for curing Indigestion and re-
storing a badly impaired appetite.
Heating was standing by a wire
fence when a bolt came kiting along
and knocked him over. He was In
conscious for several hours, and it was
thought for q time he vas done for.
Finally he opened his eyes and looked

bern to the other. The ends of TIE
middle tier of joists are Tapped and
spiked against the inside ends of the
two outer tiers of joists so that each

floor beams are supported by posts or
preferably iron columns, which are SO
spaced that they will intersect with
the line of s%tanchions and the parti-
tons between the stalls, and rest on
concrete piers built below the concrete
floor.
The roof construction is a special
feature of the barn. In framing the

After all of the arches are completed
the end arch is hoisted up to Il verti-
cal line, perfectly plumbed, well spiked
into place, and well braced. A block
and rope are hooked to the collar beam
Of the arch that is In place. With
this tackle the next arch is hoisted,
piumbed and nailed in place. This
method Is continued until all are in

Of many architects seems to make it
clear that many barns in the country
could have been greatly improved and
at the same time built at less expense
if they had been studiously planned
to meet the farmers needs, skillfully
designed, and carefully constructed.
There are alleys for both horses and
cows, running In different directions
for convenience in doing the chores.
These alleys are sc arranged that a

it done, is figured, II will be found
that carriers will pay for themselves
in q short time. Most farmers time
is too valuable to be spent at such dis
agreeable and unnecessary work.
The construction of this barn con-
sists of a frame structure, the frame
of which is built entirely out of plank
ing not more than two inches In thick
ness, and built on a concrete founda-
ton which extends far enough above
the floor and outside ground level to
prevent moisture from coming into
contact with the wood sill and frame.
The sill should be well bolted on the
top of the concrete foundation, The
studding are 2 by 6 inch for barns Of
ordinary dimensions, and spaced 16
inches to "a inches on center, the "a
inch spacing being preferred because
any stock length of board can be
nailed TO them without waste. The
studding are generally IA or 16 feet
long, and have a double pinch by g.

them together, keeps them straight

Cigar Ashes Valuah!s.

A curious possible source Of value In
unconsidered waste Is revealed by a
British chemists thought that tobacco
ash contains 20 per cent Of potash. He
estimates that the ash OF a cigar con
tains 6.5 grains of potash; that OF a
cigarette, 1.75 grains and that Of an
ordinary pipe OF tobacco, 1.6 grains.
The ash Of the tobacco consumed in
the United Kingdom il the year end
ing March 81, 1914, contained about
2,672 tons Of potash, worth more than
$25C,000 at the prices prevailing before
the war. Important amounts of ash
could Ee collected In clubs, hotels and
other public places.-Colurnbia State.

The largest factor in the care OF the
stock is the stabling. Good light,
ventilation and sanitary equipment
mean more to the health and comfort
of the nock, and TO the sanitation and
quality of the output, than any other
factors. A large percentage of barns
are so dark and damp as to be veri-
table breeding places for disease
germs and vermin. Light is the great
est foe to germ life.

horse stable. Special emphasis has

Kitchen Hints.

Never leave potatoes in a saucepan
after they are cooked, as this spoils
their color. To keep hot, place in a
basin in a steamer.
Chopped suet is very useful for re-
placing eggs in milk buildings. Simply
sprinkle a little on the top and the
pudding will be rich and creamy.
Always press silk under a piece of
muslin to prevent the silk from becom-
ing hard and crackly. First damp the
muslin, and use a moderately hot iron
till the muslin is quite dry.

raised and set In place by three or
four men, while with the old method
Of heavy purlin ard post construction,
ten or fifteen men may lie necessary
to help hoist the Heavy frame.
This type of roof has the advantage
of requiring less material and labor
than the heavy timber roof, is just as
strong and forms a NOW without any
obstruction.
