Fixing the sheriff.

Ephraim got into trouble in Waco county and beat the sheriff over the line by about three jumps. He migrat- ed to a distant part of the state and, seeking livelihood, turned to preach ing. He prospered in the new con- munity, which knew nothing of his past in Waco. Then, one night at camp meeting, Ephraim looked from the platform into the eyes of a man in a front row. The new arrival was not a stranger. He was from Waco county Ephraim led through the singing and then the time for the preaching came. He mopped his brow and began i: "Bredren, An was goin' to preach dis evenin' on tex out CT de OF Testa- ment. But it's done put in nah min to change. An dis Is de tex now from Romans"-he pointed at the stranger with meaning finger: "'Ef yo' know me, doan' say nuthin'. an Ah'll see yo' afterward !'"-Cleveland Leader.

Had to Have "Atmosphere."

That actors cannot labor without at- mosphere was demonstrated the other day, when a man went amidst of a hundred or more idle thespians who were holding down the curbstone on the RialtO, and said aloud: "I want to hire about 20 men on contract. If any of you men want work, follow me- Eighty-seven disengaged thespians followed the mysterious stranger to his sumptuous suite of offices on For ty-second street, according to the New York correspondent of the Pittsburgh Dispatch. There the mysterious stranger faced the multitude and said: "Three and a half day for you. Will you take it?" "What kind of a show is this?" several actors de- handed. "All you've got to do is to push wheelbarrow across a plank eight hours day and get three-fifty." And then they all walked away, nut taring grievously and wondering where, as artists, they were at. The mysterious stranger was building contractor. And because he could not get wheelbarrow men and sand shov- elers he was compelled to stop work on skyscraper.

if the compressed yeast Is employed, let it rise until it is quite light. Next pour the batter into a nest of entire wheat flour containing one cup of luke warm water. Fold mixture carefully at first so as to fill the bubbles of gas with the flour as it is being added. Continue to work in the entire wheat flour until sufficient has been added to make a dough. Next knead the bread. (White four, corn starch, rice flour. etc, are better to use on the bread board than the whole wheat flour to prevent the dough from stick ing). Let the dough rise until it has doubled in size, then knead and let rise again in the bread pans. Bake in a moderate oven for seventy to eighty minutes.
 Variations in Whole Wheat Bread.
 Corn meal makes an excellent ad- dition to the entire wheat loaf. The corn meal may be added in a dry state or scalded and allowed to cool until it is lukewarm before adding to the mixture. The proportion of one and one-half to two cups of corn meal may be added to above recipe when the batter is made into dough.
 Another combination which is palat- able consists of adding cottonseed meal, one and one-half cups to this general recipe. Soy bean flour may he added in the same proportion as the cottonseed meal. Rice flour may also be substituted for some of the wheat flour, one and one-half cups of rice flour to the proportions given in the foregoing recipe. The boiled rice may also be added, one cup to the recipe.
 These substitutes may be added with the wheat four to the batter which is to be made into dough.

ABANDON FOOD PREJuplcEs

Don't Be Finieky. Be willing to try new foods. Certain plentiful and nourshing foods widely used and en- joyed in one section are practically unknown in other sections of the country. Learn to know all the good things; not a few only.
 People too easily get into food ruts insist on eating only the food they are used to and refuse to give a fair trial to others This causes undue demand for certain staples, with re- sulting scarcity or high prices when crops are short. At the same time other valuable foods may be relative Iy cheap and available.
 Cook Food Properly: Learn how to cook all kinds of staple foods and to serve them in variety of ways. Simple dishes we'll prepared are bet ter than expensive foods badly cook ed. Many persons are prejudiced against certain good foods because, when first tried, the foods were im- properly cooked or prepared Remove from your vocabulary don't like" or "can't eat" Most individual preju. dices against widely popular foods are either imaginary or baseIess. Try to like every simple food; give it fair trial.

abating the rabbit pest, and, having no enemies, the birds also had no use for wings, which ceased to develop, and as years rolled by left many species with only little nubbins for wings and ab- solutely without power of flight.
 Centuries ago there were in exist eace at least three varieties of gigan- tic birds, two of which were as large in body as the fabled roc, the rescuer of Sinbad the sailor. These included the Hapagornis, the Dinornis or Moa and the Cnemiornis, which was a gf gantic goose. The Moa became ex- tinct some 500 years ago. It was a fiightless bird, said by tradition to have been hunter of humans, a man eater, was of varying size and ex- tremely plentiful.

USE WHOLE WHEAT
 FLOUR---|T' BETTER
Seventy Million Bushels of Wheat Can Be Saved Each Year By Using
 the Whole Wheat Grain.
By Ruth A. Peck, Head of Department of Home Economies, Univer- 1f H.lx

 sity of Arkansas.
 Our soldiers must have bread The entire world is hungry and has been depending upon Americas wheat crop which now proves to be far below the average. Something must be done. Patriotic mothers can relieve the slt- uation by asking for and using only flour made from the entire wheat grain. It has been estimated that the utilization of the entire wheat gran instead of three-fourths of the grain commonly used in the manufacture or white -four will save 70 million bush els of wheat annually in the United States. Do your bit. If you can not buy the whole wheat flour, make it. The grain can easily be prepared.
 Directions For Making Entire Wheat
 Flour At Home.
 Look over the wheat and remove any chaff or foreign material which may be present. Grind the wheat in a nome" mill If this mill cannot be obtained from one of your home mer- chants if can be secured from any large mail order house. Any type Of mill from the small one turned by hand to the large one run by motor will do. Put the wheat through the mill several times until it is of the desired fneness. The product should be of a somewhat coarser grade or -four than the sifted, pulverized, bleached product to which we have been accustomed However, the coarse meallike flour produces very pala- table and wholesome bread Directions For Making Entire Wheat
 Bread.
 One cake of yeast.
 (Dry yeast for overnight process). Compressed for quick process).
 One pint of water.
 Three tablespoons of brown sugar. (Two tablespoons molasses if de- sired).
 One tablespoon salt.
 One tablespoon shortening.
 Sufficient flour to make batter. Dissolve the yeast cake and sugar (and molasses if used) in one cup of warm water. Let stand for fifteen minutes. Melt the shortening in one cup of hot water Add the salt and iet stand M siRtil til the liquid is lukeKarm. Next add sufficient entire wheat flour to make a batter.
