Australia at Arras.

The Australians in the fighting
round Arras maintained the reputa-
ton for desperate bravery they won
on the Gallipon peninsula. They seem
to fear shells no more than summer
rain, and they have habit Of clinging
to positions they have taken as long
as there is breath in their bodies. Ac-
tion is meat and drink to the men OF
the Antipodes, and they chafe In idle
ness, says the Philadelphia Public
Ledger. Their temperament Is not
that Of many of those with whom they
fight. They pity the Tommy" because
they think he is ''bullied." They believe
themselves every whit as good as their
officers, and they loathe the Bull
Ring" (their name for the drill
ground). This restless independence
is the natural result Of a lifetime
largely spent in ranging the unfenced
spaces in a lonely self-reliance. But
the Hindenburg line has learned that
when these "bear-cats" are turned
loose they are not to be stopped until
they are slain.

The Gift of Organization.

Before the war we used to hear a
good deal about the value Of the par
ticular person called a business man,
in the art of governance. No doubt
there are more sorts Of business men
than the one; but during the war the
business man has been given his op-
portunity; and the result Is not un-
naturally certain sense Of disappoint-
ment. There is, in fact, no mystic vir-
tue in business, which may mean any
thing from operating on the stock ex-
change to selling goods across coun-
ter. The quality chiefly required in
administration is the gift Of organiza.
ton, which is frequently possessed
by men who know little Of commerce.

Some Observations.

If being favorite in a race counted
for anything there would be no use In
running the race. ...-
You can do a lot of good In this
world by just making sure that other
people won't have to knock of work
to come over and help you out of trou-
BILE that you've foolishly got into.
A woman may be said to be blase
when a new hat no longer means any
thing to her.
The easiest man in the world to fool
is the man who is sure he is too wise
to be fooled. .~'
A mans life is like his garden-its
success all depends upon the amount
of work he puts into it. ..
What howl there would go up
through the land If someone should
start a dollar hat store for women.
Some husbands must be mighty poor
company. At least their wives seem
to prefer to spend their evenings at
the moving picture shows.
Knowing how is worth more money
to an employer than fine theories.
You can't keep good man down,
or q bad one up.
No man can be happy all the time,
but we can all be happier more than
we really are. b..

Many Books Are Written and
Published in a Weeks Time

At certain tea shop in the Strand
many serious books were fixed up oy
q prominent literary agent over cup
Of coffee, says London Answers. When
the news arrived Of the death or Alng
Edward, this agent dashed to MS tele-
phone and rang up publisher.
"What about Life OF King Ed
ward VII to be on the market IN a
fortnights time"
Get it!' said the publisher.
Another hurried telephone call to an
author, and the book was begun an
hour later. The author called In TWO
GHOSTS" to write one or two chapters
for him, and by the end OF the week
the manuscript was in the printers
hands. That Life Of King Edward
is still selling.
When the war began big firm of
publishers telephoned and telegraphed
to-all manner of competent and hard
up authors, ordering this one to write
q book on the German army In ten
DAYS: that one to translate German
book on warfare in a week; another to
write a book on life in the Russian
army; yet another to write the IN

Value or Corn Meal in the
Diet Underestimate, Says
Expert in Home Economics.

Include corn meal in the diet ind
learn to like 1t. The qualities OF corn
meal Lave been underestimate, In the
opinion of Mrs. Mary P. Van lille, dean
of the division Of home economics In
the Kansas State Agricultural college.
Bolted corn meal is now cheap, as
compared with other cereals. 1t costs
about half as much as wheat nour'
only a third as much as rolled OATS,
and a fourth as much as rolled wheat.
Corn meal has a high food value
says Mrs. Van Zile. Although the bolt
ed meal does not supply so much It's
sue-building material as wheat Hour
it. does supply more starch and fat.
The unbolted corn meal, which is OF
good flavor and is preferred by many
has more tissue-building material, as
we'll as more starch and fat, than the
wheat flour.
For q long time pellagra was sup
nosod to be contracted through eating
corn meal. Scientific investigation has
proved that this is false and there Is
no danger from eating ordinary quaint
ties.
Corn meal can be used successfully
in a variety Of ways. AS a breakfast
cereal. fruit mush, corn bread, or as
corn grlddle cakes it is a success from
4 nutritive as we'll as an economic
standpoint. A satisfactory bread may
be made by using one-haf wheat HOUR
and one-haf corn meal. /

AN OUNCE OF MEAT
"Many a MiekIe Makes a
Muckle."

An ounce Of edible meat-lean meat,
fat and lean, suet or fat trimmed from
steak, chops, or roast-seems hardly
worth saving.
Many households take just this view
Of the matter-do not trouble to put
such an insignificant scrap into the
icebox or soup pot-do not bother to
save for cookery a spoonful or two OF
drippings or tiny bit Of suet or fat.
Yet If every one Of the 2O,OOO,OOO
American families on the average
wastes each day only one ounce OF
edible meat or fat, 1t means a daily
waste Of 100000 pounds of animal
food-458, 100000 pounds Of valuable
animal food year, according to sta
tisticians Ct the United States depart
ment Of agriculture.
At average dressed weights, it would
take the gross weight Of over 875,OOO,-
600 steers, or over 100000 hogs
bones and ALTO provide this weight
of meat or fat for each garbage pail
or kitchen sink. If the bones and
butchers waste are eliminated, these
ukuICS "OSx4 UO AuSA Cu0ON ~ ASAO~SS~S
cattle and 100000 hogs.
Or, again, If the waste were distrib-
uted according to the per capita con-
sumption OF the various meats (exclud-
ing bones), it would use up a COM
bined herd Of over $4,000 beef ami
mails, POI 900 calves, over 625,OOO
sheep and lambs, and over 2,132,OOO
hogs. a.-~u-.
Millions of tons of feed and hay,
the grass from vast pastures and the
labor of armies Of cattlemen and
butchers also would be scrapped by
this meat-waste route. 49,.
Waste of meat or fat is inexcusable,
say the government experts. Every
bit of lean meat can be used In soups,
stews or in combination with cereals;
every spoonful Of fat can be employed
in cookery; every bit of drippings and
gravy can be saved so easily and used
to add flavor and nourishment to other
dishes.

Canning Hints.

Can only products that cannot be
kept otherwise.
Dry fruits and sweet corn and such
other vegetables as may be preserved
in this way.
Concentrate products so that each
lar or can will hold as much food and
as little water as possible.
There is a shortage Of containers.
Don't let one be wasted in your home.
Empty spices and similar materials
from jars and fill them with food.
Reserve regular tight-sealing con-
tainers for perishable vegetables, meat
and fish. .=
Use wide-necked bottles with paraf-
fin seals for putting up fruit and pre-
serves; use glasses or crooks for jellies
and jams; use bottles and jugs corked
and sealed with paraffin for fruit
juices, catsups and other liquid prod

"Gradually the fellow who pays to

Baseball Is Getting Better and So is

It is seldom that anyone listens to
an umpire except the ball players, and
they only listen because they have to.
Umpire Bill Byron recently said some
thing concerning baseball which shows
that umpires- are human and can see
more good than bad in the game and
in the fans.
Baseball is getting better, and so
is the public" he said. "The fans are

they used to be when started brush

Mushrooms.
The amateur may learn a few OF the
common edible kinds Of mushrooms,
and staying by them will be perfectly
safe. No silver spoon or other SUCH
test should be relied upon. The puff
ball, which is so often found in woodsy
places and grows to large size, Is a
kind which need never be feared. Peel
the ball and slice it in thin slices.
Often one puffball will weigh several
rounds and will furnish food for sew
eral families.

ter the broiler and lay in the caps, gills
upward. Drop a bit of butter into each
cap, sprinkle with salt and pepper and
broil delicately until the butter has
melted into the flesh Of the mushroom.
Serve Immediately on hot buttered
toast.
A few mushrooms fried In a little
butter added to creamed chicken
makes a most dainty morsel. Mush-
rooms also are an addition to sweet
breads and, cooked and chilled, may be
added to salad with good results.
