NOW MAKE ARTIFICIAL MILK
Manufacturers In England Have Pro-
duced Substitute SO Perfect That
Cream Rises on IL.

According to Popular Science Month
ly, they are making in England an ar.
tificial milk which is so perfect that
cream rises on it and cheese can be
made from it. The ingredients are
ground peanuts, soy beans, sugar, wa
ter and mineral salts.
About 400 grains Of potassium phos-
phate is dissolved in 200 pints Of water
at FIG degrees Fahrenheit. Enough
sugar is added to give 4 $40 per cent
to the finished product. Forty pounds
of meal prepared from the nuts and
boiled in a steam-jacketed pan; then
it is subjected to an operation Of va
cuum pan, and lastly it is treated with
a culture Of Tactic bacteria until the
required acidity is obtained. After 1t
is pasteurized and cooled small per
centage of citric acid is added.
The milk thus produced may be con-
densed and sold in cans, or dried and
powdered, or sold as liquid In bottles.
The addition Of nut fats will give GER
tain proportion Of cream. BY using
sufficient Tactic bacteria the product
may be cultured to give table cream
or a sourAd mass for making cheese.

coIIede Girls Do Their "sIts.w

The American flag waving over Rad
cliffe college proclaims the willingness
of Radcliffe girls to help their country
in time of need, says the Boston Ad-
vertiser. Cards indicating the capac-
ity in which every girl is willing to
serve have been filed. Many intend
to work in the field, raising fruit and
vegetables; some are ready for domes-
tic service-cooking, sewing, cutting
out garments and knitting: others
have signifed their intention of doing
clerical and mechanical work. Still
others have signif1ed their readiness
for service in nursing and first aid.
Every girl is willing to do her part.

any place else in the world. Did any
one ever hear of an assistant rector
going about with a fortune in his
hand?"
He followed her into the library and
placed the box on the great table
where old Hilary had been wont to
divide the annual earnings Of the band.
Ward pointed to 1t with his humorous
smile.
"Would anyone suspect" he said,
shat in that box there is a stone par
ish house, new church organ, and
chlldren's Playground"
Then, glancing at her with keen
eyes, he was struck by her pallor.
"You to ask me If am tiredw he
cried. "Why, you poor child, it is you
who are worn out. Wouldn't it be bet
ter to have me come tomorrow and go
over the things you-spOke about?"
II think we had better talk about
them now," said Elinor, desperately
calm.
At a quarter before eleven that Sun
day night, old Henriette, bent on her
evening task of sending Elinor to bed,
wandered into the library. She found
Ward, his earnest face glowing, ex-
pounding the tenets of his faith from
the edge of his chair; and Elinor ly-
ing back with her face drawn, watch
ing the clock on the mantel.
Old Henriette, astounded, withdrew,
not to sleep, but with the wakeful
alertness of old age, to wander up and
down the garden paths until such time
as ElinOr's visitor might leave.
Ward suddenly realized that he was
making small headway. When at last
he caught Elinor's eyes on the clock
he flushed and rose.
1--WE done 1t all very badly" he
said.' II seem to wander all about
and not get anywhere. You see it's
oil so real to me"
Elinor had leaned back with closed
eyes.
ut is all very terrible to me-" she
replied. "This God Of vengeance"
"This God Of tenderness and mercy"
Ward supplemented. Don't you see
what 1t all means? How terrible this
life would be If this we're ALL Our
little lives, full of jealOusles and
hatreds and crimes: bringing that
box, over there on the table, up here
with me tonight, because I dare not
trust it to my fellow men; who could
not sleep last night for thinking Of
you, who are all that is good and sweet
and tender. up here alone in this great
house, with God knows what danger
lurking about"
Elinor had reached her limit. The
band of her self-control snapped. She
could not hold him much longer, and
before he went he must know.
"When 1 sent for you" she said, Il
had two reasons. I wanted to see you.
Please" !" AS he took step toward
her. "And I wanted to save you from
something that know Of"

1t need but be mentioned. A batter
pudding similar to Yorkshire, but pre-
pared from cornmeal is frequently
served with roast pork. Put cupful
Of milk, a fourth of a cupful OF corn
meal and a half teaspOOnful of salt
in a double boiler until the milk and
meal has made a thick mixture. Cool
and stir in two well-beaten eggs.
Grease the gem pan well, allowing to
each pan a teaspoOnful Of the rat
from the roast. Bake in a moderate
oven, basting occasionally with the fat
from the roast.
Corn Mush With Frult.-Wash rails
ins, dates or figs, and dry In slow
oven. This softens the fruit and drys
1t on the outside. Add to the hot
mush and serve with sugar and cream.
There is no limit to the amount OF
cheese to be added, and it needs no
butter or cream to season it.
ButtermiIk Cornmeal Mush.-White
cornmeal cooked in buttermilk makes
q dish which resembles cottage
cheese In flavor. 1t may be eaten hot,
but is especially palatable served cold
with cream. In cooking, allow one
part of cornmeal to six parts of but
termilk and a teaspoOnful Of salt to
each cupful Of cornmeal.
Cornmea Mush With Pork.-Cook
a pound of lean pork, part meat, part
bone, in a little water until the meat
may be easily removed from the bones.
Remove the meat, cut in bits, cool the
broth and remove the fat. Reduce the
broth to a quart, or add water to make
this amount, and cook n cupful OF
cornmeal in 1t. Add the finely chop
ped meat, and season well. Pack In
granite pan to cool. Cut in slices
to fry. Beef or any kind Of meat Lay
be used in place of pork.
A cupful of soaked, shredded Goldfish
added to mush and egg, and made into
balls, and fried In deep fat, takes the
place of the potato in the balls. Use
two cupfuls of mush to one of Goldfish

Huff's mouth was hard as he turned
and walked down the hill.
CHAPTER x.

Into and through her garden Elinor
walked quietly until she was safe from
surveillance. Then she ran swiftly,
ruthlessly across the flower beds,
through the roses. The terrace was
lighted. She avoided 1t, making a de-
tour that led by a side entrance into
old Hilary's library. For obvious rea-
sons, old Hilary's private telephone
was in n sound-prOof closet.
Before Walter had taken, a hundred
watchful PAGES down the road she
had Ward at the other end Of the
line. What with running and terror,
she could hardly speak. Once, long
ago, she had heard n discussion be-
tween Boroday and her father about
the use of the telephone. Its sub
stance was that when the transmltter
is held to the chest a clear message
may be sent, but with the effect of dis
tance. She held the transmitter to her
breast then, and 1t seemed to her that
Ward must hear the throbbing Of
her heart.
"Hello, hello" came his quick re-
sponse.
No need to ask who 1t was. She
knew every infection of his voice.
''Thls is-a friend" Ellnor painted.
II want to tell you something"
"Yes?" Very inclsive now.
"Tonight-very soon-an attempt"
She stopped. What was she doingi
She, her fathers daughter, the head
of the band! BY warning Ward she
might be sending Walter to his death.
A vision Of old Hilary, gray-headed,
keen-eyed, Mt this very telephone,
flashed into her mind, old Hilary,
whose religion had been Of keeping the
faith, not with his God, but with his
men.
"Who are your" The impatient
voice was saying in her ears. "Are you
sure you want me? This is Ward, Of
Saint Jude's."
Elinor quietly hung up the telephone
transmitter, and stood in the darkness,
her hands to her throat.
Old Henriette, ever watchful, came
into the library beyond. Elinor could
hear her wandering about, knew the
moment when she discovered her wrap
on a chair, heard her plaintive voice
speaking through a window to the
empty terrace.
Miss Ellnor," she called. "Miss
Elinor!"
Elinor let her go. When her shut.
fling footsteps had died away, Elinor

Western Newspaper Union News ssrvicS
Camp Sherman.-Ofticers at Camp
Sherman now are turning their at
tention to the selection of selectiVe-
draft soldiers for the next officers
training camp, which opens here jan
uary s.. Three expert civilians from
Washington, D. c., were here and held
a conference with officers as a prelim-
mary to working out a uniform sys-
TEN of recommendation of men for
appointment to the school.
Ten per cent of each company or
battery first will be picked, these by
the company or battery commanders.
Under orders from the War Depart
ment only IL per cent can be admitted
to the school, which means that out OF
20 or 25 men picked in each company
or battery, only four, five or six will
even 'ually be appointed to attend the
school.
The Three Hundred and Thirtieth
Regiment is one of the first that has
started the selection of the first ten
per cent. Company commanders are
conducting the tests, which are both
written and oral. Past record is taken
into consideration.
While the method of picking IL per
cent of the units has not been an
nounced, it is probable board of COM
petent men will have charge Of this
work. They will scrutinize the records
of the 10 per cent recommended and
from this number pick few to attend
the school.
It will be mid-December or perhaps
late in December before final an
nouncement is made of the selections
Between 400 and 500 men will be ad
mitted to the school, including less
than 100 who are to be sent here from
Ohio State University, Ohio Northern
University, and one or two other insti'
tutions having military training
courses. The school will virtually take
the place of the one conducted at Fit
Benjamin Harrison.
Officers of the Three Hundred and
Twenty-second and Three Hundred
and Twenty-third Light Field Artillery
are attending a school of fire five
hours daily now. Practically all Cap.
tains and a Lieutenant from each bat
terry is enrolled. Practical occupation
of positions and intensive instructions
in the conduct of fire is in the course
Within few days a school will be
started in horsemanship, as most OF
the officers now have mounts. Men
are working at gun emplacements in
the artillery sections.

called the assistant rector's house. But
this time she spoke directly into the
tranSmitter.
This is Elinor Kingston, Mr.. Ward.
wonder if you are very tired to-
night?"
"I? Tired? I'm never tired"
Because l am thinking of asking
you to come up. there are some
things want to talk about, questions
that are troubling me. I know 1t is
late, but"
II saw you at the early service. OF
course I'll come up"
He had seen her then!
"I'l do my best" he was saying. "Of
course, you know I may disappoint
you. These questions, that come from
within, must be answered in the same
way. But I'm coming at once"
Elinor's battle was only half fought,
but she had great sense of relief.
Let him meet Walter on the way. So
much the better. Let Huff know that
Ward was out, and the offering pre-
sumably unguarded. He might hate
the man, but no hope Of running
fight with him would deter him from
his main object, the money.
To save Ward, she was willing, even
anxious, to let Walter succeed.
Women sometimes meet large crises
with small vanities. But Elinor had
no vanity. Without so much as O
glance at the mirror she went out In
to the garden to listen for Wards step
on the road. She knew his walk al.
ready; the forceful, certain step Of an
energetic and purposeful man.
The illuminated dial on the steeple
of the Baptist church showed some
thing after ten when Ward finally
came up the hill. The relief of seeing
him unharmed sent Elinor down the
terrace steps with both hands out
Before he could take them, Ward wa:
obliged to stoop and deposit on the
ground at her feet a small box that
he carried.

fed and happy. The average Ameri-
can breakfast Is a simple one, which
is sensible, as few people are hungry
in the morning and hearty breakfast
Is unwise. 1t is better far to par
take of a meal that has not overtaxed
the cook to prepare or the individual
to digest. mo dinner however beau
tifully cooked and served, no fine raj
ment however costly and becoming,
can ever atone, in the memory Of man,
for the wild and untamed morning
which so often prevails in the Amer
ican household" says Olive Green.
The right kind of breakfast begins the
day before as all good meals do.
Corn meal mush fried in little fat
is going to be very popular among our
patriotic families, it is most nourish-
ing, and will take the place of bread
in a large measure. By adding chop
ped meat to the mush before
molding it to cut in slices, it becomes
still more valuable as food.
There Is no reason that the morn
ing meal should not be varied In its
menu, as there are countless ways Of
serving the common things in uncom-
mon ways. A hot bread will take the
place of the toast, waffles and griddle
cakes are digested by the active child
as we'll as the older person, but are
not wholesome for those who take lit
tie exercise. When one feels slug
gish and stupid an hour or two after
eating breakfast 1t is advisable to
eliminate the offending food. There
are those who insist upon meat and
potatoes for breakfast, and If the fam
ily are active enough to digest such
food well, there should be no reason to
change the habit, although we all
know that meat once day is plenty
for health, and we will be richer In
purse as we'll as health to eat less Of
the more expensive protein foods.
AS most people enjoy and are able
to digest fruit well, dish Of season
able fruit is always good beginning.

HELD FOR SEIZURE OF COAL
Dragnet Lands WIIIoughby Official
Is Indicted BY Grand Jury-Pros-
ecutins Attorney Also Held.

Cleveland.-Coal seizures in time OF
urgent need went under the ban when
the Federal Grand Jury reported indict-
ments against Mayor Carmichael, of
Willoughby, O., Prosecuting Attorney
George c. Won Beseler and Deputy
Marshals James Barnes and Grant La
mos for impeding Interstate Commerce
shipments and for conspiracy to COM
NIT such acts. All are charged with
seizing New York Central Railroad
coal on November 1 and 2.
Action by the jury followed the an
nouncement of few weeks ago by Dis
trict Attorney Wertz that city and
county officials have no right to con-
fiscate coal and that the law Of human
ity which forbids such confscation
must be obeyed. Several freight trains
were held up at Willoughby on Novem-
Der 2, the indictments charge, and en-
gineers and conductors were arrested.
Mayor Carmichael, it is said, was
told that he had right to confiscate
coal by Prosecutor Won Beseler, who
was quoted as saying that the law of
humanity is greater than that Of the
Government.
The Mayor, Prosecuting Attorney
and Deputy Marshals would face, II
convicted Of conspiracy, penalties of
$4,000 fine, two years Imprisonment or
both. If convicted of holding up the
trains, with which another set of in
dictments charge them, they would be
liable to fines of 800 and six months
Imprisonment or both.
