NO XMAS CHEER
FOR JOE Antoine

San Francisco, sDec. 23.--Out at
Lands End. where the storm beats
the sea into fury. Joseph Antoine.
q Cuban. crawled into chill cave
to die. A night above the bowling
OF the wind and the thunder Of the
sea upon the rocks he could hear the
joyous shouts OF Christmas rollick-
ers on their way to the beacn re-
sorts. He crouched In his cave, like
some storm-driven animal to await
the coming Of death.
Joseph has learned that the world
does not want him. and he has learn
ed to do without the world. There
is an ugly. cancerous scor on his
face. II is not pleasant to look upon.
Joseph Antoine has become accus-
toned to people avoiding him. and
shutting their eyes--as though he
were a leper.
The wind OF Portland was chill.
Some one told him that II he went
to the south. 1t would be warmer
and there would be less pain. He
might even be made we'll some day.
He walked. For days he walked,
some times foodless. sometimes with
only q crust. Three days ago he
passed Lands End.
To Antoine It seemed to be the
only place In all nature more lonely
than he. So he crawled into the
cave to die. But Antoine was not
TO die.
Mounted Policeman Dolan heard
that a man was living In the cave.
ell arrested Antone who. for three
days. had not eaten and who wanted
to die. Today he was taken into
court.
Judge Fitzpatrick heard the story
and ordered Antoine sent to the
county hospital. b., Antoine is not
an American citizen, so he was de-
MED admission to the hospital, Then
Judge Fitzpatrick went into his
purse, So did others,
II will eat now and gain strength" +"
said Joseph Antoine, with childlike
simplicity. Then ! will walk to
Los Angeles, where they say the air
Is warm"
Antoine hid his face from the eyes
Of the crowd and walked out into
the storm again.

II IL claimed for the Scottish bagpipe
that It ia louder than any other va

because II was originally designed to
cheer the clansmen when they were
fighting. In the hands Of skilled per-

pipe carry about six miles, and under

EASILY MADE SWEET PUDDING
But to Be Perfect 1t Must Be Pre-.
pared Twenty-Four Hours Before
It Is Served.

Only the foresighted hougekeeper
need choose this pudding, because it
must be prepared twenty-four hours
before it is to be served. It is, how
ever, so very simple and has so high
a food value that it amply rewards
the cook for the care needed in it's
preparation. One dozen lady fingers
two cakes of German sweet chocolate
two tablespoonfuls sugar, two and one
half tablespoonful water, four eggs,
vanilla to taste.
Into a spring form carefully lined
with wax paper put layer of lady
fingers. Melt the chocolate and sugar
In the water over a moderate fire.
When it is thoroughly dissolved take
from the fire and cool. Then add the
yolks of the eggs, one at time, and
keep beating. Next put in the vanilla
and last the stiffy beaten whites of
eggs. Pour half of the mixture over
the lady fingers in the mold and then
spread another layer of lady fingers
upon which the remaining custard is
poured. A layer Of lady fingers comes
last, busted over with finely chopped
almonds and powdered sugar. Set in
the icebox twenty-four hours and serve
with whipped cream.

GOOD TOAST REQUIRES CARE
Some Principles TO BE. Observed Il
, One Wov!d Have, the Dainty d
T. at It's Best.

The principle that underlies toast
making is threefold:
1. Heat evaporates moisture through
out the slice of bread.
2. Intense heat changes the con-
tents Of the starch granules on the
surface Of the bread to dextrin.
3. Intense heat, long continued. will
change first the surface starch and
then all to carbon (charcoal)
A good cook will secure the first
two, and avoid scorching the bread.
Successful toast making depends up
on these points:
The selection of bread already par
TALLY dry.
The cutting of bread into slices of
uniform thickness.
Regulating the source of heat.
Placing the slices firmly in toast.
er or on a fork or evenly OF a rack
when toasting by gas.
Keeping the toast at distance from
the source of heat that insures a steady
but not too rapid change
Turning the slices, or the toaster,
to cook each surface in turn and thus
make the process slower.
Stopping the process before the
carbon is formed and the toast
burned.

KIDNEY TROUBLE
NOT RECOGNIZED

An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
80 many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so COM
mon to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tons are declined do not even suspect that
they have the disease.
According to this it would seem that a
medicine for the kidneys, possessing real
healing and curative properties, would be
blessing to thousands.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the we'll
known kidney, liver and bladder remedy,
is remarkably successful in sickness caused
by kidney and bladder troubles It is mild
and gentle in its action and it's healing in
auence is soon noticed in most cases.
There is no other remedy like Swamp
Root. It will surely and effectively over
come kidney, liver and bladder troubles
and you can depend upon it. Go to any
drug store and get bottle so as to start
treatment today. You will soon see
marked improvement.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.
