 The Phillies are not doing much in the base-stealing line. The teams hitting and pitching have been o. sK., but the Morans have been poor pilfer- CTS.
 It is considered doubtful if the change in managers will help the Pir- ates to any great extent. In fact. there doesn't seem to be much help for the Buccaneers this season.

 Cobb, the leading hitter. run-getter and base-stealer. and Roland, who stands among the leading American league pitchers, are the only Detroit pastimers to distinguish themselves so far this season.
 Although Bobby Roth of Cleveland has had a bad foot for the past two years his pastiming has been on 8 par with that of the best of the big leaguers.

In the Woman's Home Companion Arnold Bennett has an interesting ar- ticle to prove that the dull man is a bad man. Among other indictments he makes the following: "The dull man has no imagination.

A RIPE MELON

There are many who cannot tell when
a melon is ripe. When they go to pluck
one from the vine it is practically a mat
ripe.
A little close observation will enable
anyone to know ripe melon at sight.
There are few signs which I learned
a good many years ago when I was a
boy on my fathers farm in the south
that have never failed me. When a
muskmelon or canralope is ripe the
skin around the stem begins to crack
and pull away. This is invariably the
case. A ripe muskmelon should easily
pull loose from the stem, leaving it on
the vine. If plucked before the stem
will break off easily, it should be laid
away to ripen in the shade.
1t is not so easy to tell ripe water
melon, but a practiced eye will make
few mistakes Just opposite the stem
of the melon there is always tendril,
which is usually twisted into a spiral.
When this tendril is dead brown and
Especially is this SO if the tendrils for
like condition.
Possibly surer test is the color Of
the skin. On the bottom of the melon
the skin Is white. II this skin is tender
and slightly greenish in hue, the melon
is unripe. The under skin Of ripe
melon becomes slightly yellowish, and
has matured look. care nothing for
the way they sound when flipped or feel
when pressed. But 1 examine carefully
the white side. That tells the tale for
me.

with young and old. Some find 1t in
digestible, and for such tablespoonful
Of limewater in pint of milk will make
1T more readily digested. 1t is best to
drink it slowly and take with it bread
which should be well chewed
Rice as breakfast dish with milk and
sugar, or as midday dish as a vege-
table with butter or gravy, is nutritious
and easily prepared. 1t may also serve
as a dessert, combined with apples, ber-
ries or fresh fruit of any kind When
fresh fruits are not to be had, a com
bination of rice with canned fruit makes
wholesome pudding.
Baked rice. combined with tomatoes
or onions or cheese, makes a palatable
dish. It is also good with minced chick
en-, beef or ham,
Rice should be relatively low in price
this year, as the 1916 crop is estimated
