THE APPLE AS A FOOD.

The apple is without question ths
king of fruits. Whether used fresh,
dried, evaporated, canHed or cooked
it is a wholesome food, easily pre-
pared, attractive and paiata5le at ali
times. Because of its rare keeping
qualities it may be shipped to tie Ut
termost parts of the earth. so that al
may take advantage OF its great food
value. Apples vary in fIaVgr and tex
ture. The soft, sweet apples are not
suitable for preseI wing. The tart
sound apples are best for this purpose
Fine grained apples are best for sauce
and apple butter, while the coarse
grained fruit is better Tor mlEIlall(la
In the fall and early winter apples are
at their maximum in quality. Less
spice is needed in cooking them at this
time, because their favor can hardly
be improved. but toward spring some
Ut their tang may have been lost. and
the addition of spices or other flavor
ing may be an Improvement. Always
cook apples in earthen vessels or enam-
eled or porcelain lined kettles and use
silver or wooden spoons for stirring
The apple is used as a basis for prac-
tically all manufactured jams and jeI
lies, due to the large amount of pee
tose which it contains There is no
waste to good apples. Even the core
and parings may be used for making
jelly.

Woman's Honor.

Men are realizing that they have
handed themselves the greatest gold
brick Of the ages when they set up q
craven image of their own in place of
a live human woman, mans mate.
They are beginning to realize that the
voting woman is the best mother. The
home is more significant to her be-
cause she is citizen training citizens
for the problems of the mighty future
that lies before us.
Politicians have seen the light,
women have seen the light. Through
organization and persistent effort, the
voter must be brought to see the light.
For whether suffrage comes through
state referendum or through the pas
sage of the federal amendment by our
state legislatures, back to the voter
we must 60. A man said the other
day, 1.-THE people must decide" No,
dear sir, only when we have votes for
women can we use the whole-souled
expression, shack to the people"-for
women are people.
And the woman's hour has struck
The Forum.

Turkish Women.

Turkish women are to be counted
among the most industrious on earth
They do vast amount Of work. They
make carpets. screens for doors, work.
bags, horse clothing and blankets. A
Turkish girl makes all the kbitka or
tent carpets, and other household req
uisttes before she is married. II she
gets married without completing the
task 1t is expected that she will, by
her own labor, refund the money which
her parents have given her as dowry.
This usually consists Of hundred
sheep and certain amount Of money,
which the bridegroom pays to the par
ents OF the bride. He also treats his
friends to succession Of horse races
and other sports. An important part
Is to decorate camel with the hand
soonest trappings, which are sent to
the brides tent. On this she goes forth
to receive congratulations Of relatives
and friends. It Is on this she is car.

the bridegroom, She and her attend.

Broke Rubber Monopoly.

Tor many years the best rubber was
that which came from the banks of
The Amazon. The people Of that coun-
try enjoyed practical monopoly and
determined to keep 1t. Not a rubber
seed would they let get out Of the
country, under heavy penalties. But
in 1876, by means Of generous pres
ents here and there, venturesome
Englishman sailed out Of the Amazon
with 10000 rubber seeds, and that
was the start Of the great rubber
plantations Of Ceylon and the Malay
peninsula. 1t was % years after these
seeds left the Amazon before the drst
plantation rubber was ready for the
market, and then the total was only
145 tons, That was in 1905. Last
year it was close to a 100000 tons.

country's Weakness and Danger.

One hundred years ago the worlds
output Of copper was only about $500
tons per annum. Today the United
States alone produces over 100000
tons each year. One hundred years
ago the world produced between two
and three million tons of iron per an
mum. One hundred years ago the
world produced about S50,OOO,OO0 tons
of coal per annum. The United States
now produces about 55O,OOO,OOO tons
per annum.
Attention is called to these figures,
not as an evidence of strength, but Of
weakness and danger. writes William
L. Saunders. in the Engineering Maga-
zine. How long can the United States
continue to supply those raw mate
rails which may be called the sinews
of prosperity in peace and of strength
In war? For we must not forget that
in coal, iron, copper and other metals
America leads the world.
