SOUPS FROM A BOTTLE

Many "cood cooks" never master the high art of soup making and many an otherwise good dinner is spoiled or at least marred by weak or tasteless soup Perhaps now that We have War conditions to blame for any situa- tion in the kitchen our soups are on a lower par than ever. Many housekeep' ers refuse to buy soup meat as often as they used to and they seem to, think that their cooks can perform wonderful feats in the way of making soups from leftovers.
 If you have meat extract of some. sort in bottle, cube or pellet. you can really give excellent flavor to the most meager leftover soups A few leftover vegetables may be boiled in
 water enough to make the desired
 quantity of soup. which when the veg
 etablek are tender and their flavor has been quite boiled out of them. should
 be strained. After it is favored with
 salt, paprilxa and any other desirei
 seasonings, it can be toned up with
 the extract Add enough of the extract
 to give the soup the right taste. Tine
 only way to determine this is to taste if.
 or course the meat extract dissolved in boiling hot water and salted 10 taste forms very acceptable bouillon If you wish something 2 little more elaborate you might have on hand ' hottie of mixed canned vegetables7- shredded carrots. neas, green beans and other vegetables, cooked before canning until tender. These added to 1 the beef extract soun form a good ex- ! cuse for consomme iulienne.
 l Another way to enrich the extract soup is to add to it vermicelli or egg noodles of some sort These should be cooked until tender in boiling water l and the extract dissolved in this ! water The water in which any paste , is cooked contains a certain amount Of nourishment and in this case it cal ! all be utilized.

HOW TO MANICURE CANARY
1t Is a Job That Must Be Done, But
Extreme Care Should Always
Be Used. ~

AS a canary grows old, it will be no
ticed that it's claws get long and catch
on the perches and wires as 1t hops
about the cage. In a state Of nature
the activity Of the bird as it moves
about on the ground or among twigs
and limbs keeps the claws properly
worn down. Confined in cage, the
birds claws become entirely too long.
1t is necessary, therefore, to trim
them with a pair of sharp scissors ev-
cry few months. 1t Is important to
watch the condition Of the claws care
fully, as by catching they may cause
broken leg. In each claw slender
blood vessel extends well down toward
the tip. This may be seen on close
examination through the transparent
sheath Of the claw. In trimming cut
well beyond this canal and take spe-
cial care not to break the leg while
handling the bird.
In cage birds the horny covering Of
the bill, as well as the claws, some
times becomes distorted through
growth without sufficient wear. The
tips of the mandibles may be pared
down with a sharp knife, but care
must be taken not to cut deep enough
to reach the quick.

CULTIVATE HABIT OF THRIFT
impossible to Learn Too Early the
Importance of Spending Ones
Money in Wise Manner.

ANY fool is a good spender, but 1t
takes a wise man to save money.
That there are more fools than wise
men is proved by the fact that one
tenth of all the people who die in the
United States are buried in pauper's
graves.
With a population of 1OO,0OO,OO0
here are 100000 people in the Unit
I'd States who would be hungry in ten
lays after losing their jobs.
There are 100000 men with steady
Jobs and little children dependent on
them who have not saved enough to
feed their own babies for two weeks.
There are 100000 "well-to-do'
nen who could not pay their debts and
ave enough left to buy gallon OF
GASOLINE for the automobile they ride
n every day.
What is thrift? Industry earns,
economy manages, providence plans
and frugality saves. Thrift embraces
all these.
Training in thrift should be a part
of the curriculum of every school and
part of the training Of every boy and
girl, every man and woman. Thrift
of mind, of time, and most of all OF
money, needs greater emphasis

FARMER BEHIND THE TIMES
His Wife Tells How She Has Lived
for Many Years Without Modern
Conveniences.

In the American Magazine farm
ers wife tells of some of her expert
ences. She says:
"My husband does not, or will not,
realize that the world has moved, and
that what were luxuries generation
ago are necessities now. One of my
children died of typhoid fever, the
germs of which were, no doubt, brought
by flies from the house down the road
where they had the disease; for we
haven't screen door in the house, and
only few cheap adjustable screens.
ave sleep on feather beds, because
mattresses cost money, and the feather
beds were in the house-a part of the
furnishings that married, when took
my husband for better or for worse. We
have chairs with rounds missing, worn
carpets, nicked dishes and cooking
utensils that have long since outlived
their usefulness.
"The house is inconvenient, and for
that reason alone homework is much
harder than it ought to be, and house
work is hard enough in all conscience
on q farm. We have no water in the
house. For 25 years I have fetched
and carried water. There are two
steps between the kitchen and the din
ing room, which, by the way, was for
merly bedroom and has no place for
a stove. The 'parlor' is across a hall
from the main part of the house and is
only opened on special occasions"

WELL EQUIPPED WITH BRAINS
Nature Was by No Means Niggardi>
When She Handed Feathered
Creatures Their Portion.

Naturalists have arrived at the con-
clusion that the brain in birds Is large
in proportion to the body. If 1t is adj
mitted that intelligence depends upon
the weight of brain, then the goldtlnch
must be placed at the top of the list OF
birds; the brain weighs one-fourteenth
of it's whole body. 1t must be remarked,
however, that attempts to draw con-
illusions as to the intelligence of GER
tain birds from comparison of the
weight Of the brain with that Of the
body have been considered futile. In
man the brain forms from one-twenty-
second to -thirty-third of the whole
body; in the canary, one-fourteenth
the sparrow, one-twenty-ffth; the
chafinch, acknowledgements; the
redbreast, one-thirty-second; the black
bird, one-sixty-eighth; the duck,
one-two-hundred-an d-ffty-seventh; the
eagle, Observation-Disclosures
the goose, Observation-Disclosures
eth; the domestic hen, one-four-hun-
dred-and-twelfth. BY some the prefer
naturally cunning raven is supposed to
be the most highly developed of birds.
His courage is so great that the eagle
respects it, and his intelligence pre-
vents him from getting into unseen
though suspected dangers.

LEAVE WELL PERSONS ALONE
Physicians of Opinion That 1t Does
More Harm Than Good to Set Up
Cause for Worry.

The question whether doctors should
treat sick men or well men rent the
serenity of the New York Academy OF
Medicine, says the New York Times.
The debate started over a discussion
as to how to doctor up Americans so
as to make this the most ef1cientS Of
nations. The doctors were no nearer a
solution of the problem when they adj
iourned than when the discussion be-
gan.
After q prolonged discussion of the
proper remedies for the presence Of
inefficient persons in the community,
In which it was prophesied that the
day was coming when it would be
fashionable to be examined, physically
and mentally, every now and then,
Doctor Meltzer said: "That will only
make people sicker-to examine them.
Do you know why dog doesn't die?
I'll tell you-a dog never knows why
he is living and that he is going to
die; after he's dead, he doesn't know
it; therefore a dog never dies. Peo-
pie go on for years living orderly lives
until somebody, maybe an insurance
doctor, tells them they have something
the matter with them, and, thence
forth, until they reach their grave,
they are sick. Let the physician treat
the sick and let the well alone. 1t IS
time more was done for the sick man.
The doctors job is with the sick man."

WHITE HOUSE DINNER IN 1902
President Jefferson's Fare Is De-
scribed In an Interesting Manner
by Guest at His Table.

Manesseh Cutler, the founder Of the
Ohio colony, and father Of the ordi-
nance Of 1887, kept diary all through
his public life and it is now in the
possession of Charles G. Dawes. 1t
contains an account of dinner at the
White House, given by President JEFF
>ferson February 6, 1902, to which Mr..
Cutler and six members of the house
were invited.
Mr.. Cutler, according to the Column
bus Dispatch, wrote that there was
"rice soup, round of beef, turkey, NUT
ton, ham, loin of veal, outlets of NUT
ton or veal, fried eggs, fried beef, a
pie called macaroni, which appears to
be rich crust filed with strilliOns of
onions or shallots, which I took it to
be; tasted very strong and not agree
able.
Mr.. Lewis told me there was none
In it; it was an Italian dish and what
appeared like onions was made Of flour
and butter with particularly strong
liquor mixed with them; ice cream,
very good; crust wholly dried, crum-
bled into thin flakes, dish somewhat
like pudding, inside white as milk or
curd, very porous and light, covered
with cream sauce, very fine.
MANY other jim-cracks, a great va
riety of fruit; plenty Of wines and
good. President social. We drank
tea"

Be Prepared to Meet Trouble

There is serious side to life as well
as a carefree one. The average mother
should remember this and should i'm
press upon her family the wisdom OF
being prepared to meet whatever trou-
BILE comes into the home.
Everyone has his or her burdens to
bear, and the old-fashioned habit Of
coming forward and making collections
for persons in trouble isn't in vogue
these days. 1t Is good thing, too, thai
times have changed, for no one need b,
dependent upon public or private char
ity if he or she looks ahead, acknowl
edges his or her responsibilities anG
uses the proper means to meet them
AS a rule it is always the extravagan!
and unsystematic person who has t.
call for aid; but the woman who looks
at life from business standpoint
who assumes her responsibilities
always independent and never finds II
necessary to seek assistance from
others.

Make Home Happy.

Happy, well-ordered homes are the
foundations of society, a solid basis
on which to build state. Home-mak-
ing is something beyond and superior
to mere housekeeping. 1t is a high
calling. 1t requires noble traits OF
character and fine executive ability
and real wisdom. The responsibility
of the home-making does not devolVe
on one alone. Every member OF the
family has his or her share. Friends
are dear, strangers have a certain
claim on US, but the members of our
family are nearer and dearer. Give
of your love, your help, your sympathy
and comfort to your own family first
and most. Those with happy homes
are more able to give from the heart
to. others in need. No one can tell
how far the influence of a happy home
will go.
