HOW LONG WE CAN
 LIVE WITHOUT FOOD.

Science says that if he can get drinking water an ordinary man can exist for about thirty days without food. At the end of that time the machinery of the body will not be ruined, and can be entirely strength ened back to it's old standard by careful feeding About one-quarter of the body is fat, and is is mostly this fat which is absorbed as food during the period of starvation. We can absorb and burn up our muscles until 60 per cent of their weight has gone. We can do the same with from 30 to 40 per cent of our liver and digestive organs and 20 per cent of our lungs. Our hearts can lose 10 per cent and our brains and nervous system can lose per cent It will thus be seen that the more vital organs. brain and heart, yield least of their valuable sub stance for the life of the body while the less valuable substances, fat, muscles, and so on, are con, sumed first

RASPBERRY GRANITE.

This is made of three quarts of raspberries, the juice of three lem ons, one pint of sugar and quart of water. Boil the sugar and wa ter together for twenty minutes, add the lemon juice and the juice of two quarts of the raspberries. Set the liquid away to cool
 Meanwhile pack a freezer the same as when ice cream is to be made. Pour the cooled mixture into the freezer, and after putting on the cover throw a blanket or a piece of carpet over the freezer and set away in cool place After all hour has passed scrape the frozen mixture from the sides of the can but do not beat it. as the design is to have a mass soft in some places and full of icy particles in others. About an hour and half will be required for freezing this dish, At serving time stir in the third quart of berries and send the granite to the table in sherbet glasses

HOME MADE SYRUP
 FOR BREAKFAST.
. q o . . . . . . . Q . {

How would it please you, Mistress Housewife, 10 know how to make apple sirup for your breakfasl ta ble, to be eaten with griddle cakes or hot biscuits? It is not difficult The directions are furnished by eN- 2erts of the department of asricul ture ahi may therefore be relied upon.
 Apple sirup, made from ordinary cider by few simple kitchen pro cesses, is of the consistency of maple sirup and equally inviting Its flavor is quite delicious but different-delicate and novel, and somewhat resembling that of the sugar which forms on the surface of apples when they are baked
 The way to make apple sirup is to take a big preserving kettle and fill it two-thirds full of cider. The receptacle must not be any fuller to start with, because the cider when it boils will foam up quite a bit and might slop over otherwise. Seven gallons of cider will make one gallon of sirup.
 Suppose that the quantity is seven gallons, The first thing to do is to stir into it five ounces of pow dered marble dust or precipitated chalk, which is cheap stuff readily obtained at the nearest drug store Then boil the mixture for a few minutes and pour into tail glass pitchers or preserving jars allowing it to settle until perfectly clear
 When it is perfectly clear pour it off into the preserving kettle. talk ing care that the sediment is left behind. Add a level teaspoonful of the marble dust Cor chalk) and boil the liquid down until it reaches about one-seventh of the original volume or until small portion when cooled rapidly and poured from spoon shows about the same con sistency as maple sirup.
 Now pour it off into the pitchers or glass jars and let it cool very slowly, so as to allow all sediment to settle completely. A convenient way to accomplish this is to place the

FLOWERS AS FOOD.

The food value of flowers is a matter that is just beginning to in terest the scientific world. Niolets are said to contain considerable nohr- ishment They formed the basis of a refreshing drink and in other forms figured conspicuously in the feasts ol the ancient Persians. The modern confectioner crystalliZes them in sugar.
 The old Turkish confectlons made of rose leaves are declared delicious by those who have eaten them. A number of cooks have discovered that handful of rose petals imparts a flavor of unparalleled delicacr to desserts of many kinds.
 For those who do not care for sweets, the gaily colored nasturtium offers delights to the palate. 1t may be used as a filling for sand wiches, mixed judiciously with other materials in salads. It's delicious puuSeHcy appeals to lhe ePleui C. while physicians say it aids diges tion.

NEW AND EASY
 WAY TO GAN.

A West Virginia woman, who grew tired of toiling so long over a hot season, has devised a brand new method of canning fruit. berries and so forth.
 She tried it on a small scale last year with peaches. red and black raspberries, cherries. blaCkberries and pears She declares that she never lost a can. that the color and flavor of the product were fine and the fruit firm and solid.
 Her first step is to put the jars Cones with tops preferrcO on tC sterilize. While the jars are sterliz ing she prepares her fruit and makes a sirup of one part sugar to two of water, or not quite so heavy f the fruit does not require it
 This sirup is boiled thoroughly.
 The raw fruit is then put in the jars and the hot sirup poured over it. filling the can full. The rubbers are put on and the tops screwed tight.
 The jars are placed in tub CT wash boiler and covered with boiling water up to the tops of the cans. The tub or boiler is covered with rug or blanket and let stand over night The next morning they are ready to take out, wipe off and put away-EXchange

TO CLEAN ElDERDOWN QUILTS.

An eiderdown can be washed at home quite successfully thus: Wash well with soap jelly in tepid water, pressing and squeezing 1t well with the hands, but not rubbing 1t; then lift it out press out the first wa ter. and put it in a second, repeat ing the pressing and squeezing af- ter which 1t must be well rinsed to get out every trace of soap. adding a little salt or ammonia to the last rinsing water to brighten the colors.
 Then dry in a good fairly strong wind, shaking and rubbing the quilt frequently between your fingers to prevent the down knotting and stick ing together in Jumps. Let it dry thoroughly.
 This takes some considerable time. If the colors show a tendency to run add a spoonful of cloudy ammonia to each gallon of the tepid washing water, as well as in the rinsing water. But re member that with eiderdowns the great success lies in the careful drying. Choose a bright, fine day for the operation.

TEA DRINKING
 AS A FINE ART.
q q . . . . 6 . Q q Q c q q (

Our English cousins and some Americans have an idea that they know everything there is to be known about tea and tea drinking, but it is in Japan and China that tea drinking has assumed the statu- of fine art. The Chinese not only know good tea, but they keep most of it for their own consump tion at home and abroad. The very best quality of Chinese tea is eX- tremely expensive, and it is said that very little of it finds it's way out of that country into the ordinary channels of trade.
 In the mikado's kingdom one of the most ceremonious of all customs is the "chano-ys" tea drinking. The kettle, tea pot, strainer, bamboo whisk and bowls dedicated to it are never brought out except on r|re orca sons The tea used is of the finest grade, ground to a fine powder. The bowls from which it is drunk are low, open vessels, wholly different from the tiny cups used for ordi- nary Japanese tea drinking.
 The powdered tea and the hot wa ter are mixed by means of the bamboo whisk, so that-according to one person who has tasted the delectable beverage-"It looks more like a clear soup of green peas than what we know as tea"
 In China the most approved meth cd of preparing tea is to infuse it in a covered bowl instead of tea pot. It is kept warm in Nadded basket fresh boiling water being added from time to time. In the numerous tea houses kept by the Chinese, water is always kept boil ing, and for one or two cash" is sold to the customer, who furnishes his own tea.
 Pekoe tea is the undeveloped leaves pinched off the top of the shrub with the white down still on them. It is the tenderness of these kinc of tea the delicate flavor which makes it so universally liked Green and black tea leaves come from the same plant.

"Woman and Wine ;
 Is Bill At Thorne' S

"Woman and Wine" five-reel Brady feature, was the bill presented at Thorne's last night to the regu- lar Sunday night picture show audi ence. Being rather an unusual pie ture, it was very pleasing to the majority of those who saw it. It contains many spectacular scenes and beautiful costumes. The film will be repeated this evening, the show starting at 8:20 o'clock. The price of admission is 50 cents.
 A synopsis of the play is as fol, lows:
 Dick Seymour (impersonated by Wm. Elliott is fortunate in having nice father and a nice girl as q sweetheart Money is coming to him But. tempted by Woman and Wine on the great white way Of New York, he falls down badly.
 His money is in Paris. In that city he goes from bad to worse and is accused of murder. From gaol and death there seems no escape. But his father and sweetheart have been loyal to him and he is proved innocent of the crime and saved He finds happiness by stunning bad company and bad habits.
 Mr Elliott has a fine part in that of Dick Seymour. It calls for sustained acting through many long and trying scenes. The settings in New York and Paris are brilliant and effective, and MT. Elliott is supported by a powerful cast.
 The duel of two women with knives was one of the features of the original drama; the victor placed the corpse of her victim in a box and covered 1t with flowers.

 To correct these conditions be even more careful of the feet in the summer than the winter
 The feet should be bathed once day in the winter. In the sum mer they should have two daily baths one in the morning and one in the evening The evening bath should be tepid and if the feet be tender a teaspoonful of borax may be added to quart of water Let the borax dissolve. then bathe the feet in the water. If they are un usually tender be not satisfied wi,A the ordinary bath of the feet bu, soak them If necessary add oc- casionally pitcher of hot water to keep the bath tepid.

 Be more than ever careful in your choice of shoes and stockings for summer wear.
 A good rule is to wear shoes a size larger than usual in the sum mer. and to wear stockings two sizes larger. for the precipitation has d more direct effect upon the stockings than the shoes. causinG greater shrinkage
 Wear sandals as much as you can in the summer The sOles protect your feet from the dampness, and the straps hold them on.

 When buying shoes for summer wear be very careful to let the toes lie flat and free from each other, and let the soIes be broad. Look 10 d close fit of the heel and instep. letting the arch be strong enough to support the weight upon it
 Excessive perspiration, or rather it's unpleasant effects, can be checked by sprnkling the feet especially between the toes, with boracic acid powder
 The unpleasant effects can also be removed by adding a few drops of ammonia in the water in which the feet are bathed.
 To remove calloused spots, espe- ciaIv on the soes of the feet, rub them daily with pumice stone.
 Be sure to change the stockings every day and not to wear the same pair of shoes two days in success sion
 Another warning especially appli- cable in the summer is to dry the feet thoroughly after bathing them, especially between the toes, to pre- vent soft corns

THE ORIGIN OF

The city of Elizabeth, N. J., is said to have been the place where the first glass of ice cream soda was served.
 The discovery that ice cream and charged water make a delicious com bination was not the result of any thought or effort. It was only a lucky chance which gave the world the secret of the cooling delicacy which is so popular
 It is said that there was once in Elizabeth man who kept a soda fountain, and also sold ice cream out of a can. Up to that time no one had ever thought of combining soda and ice cream.
 Those were primitive days, and the Elizabeth man did not have his fountain well cooled. One day
