"PUNKIN" PIE IS BEST OF ALL
Man.s Mouth stlll Waters When He
Thinks 81 the Kind That Mother
Used TO Make.

To Q man still young enough to re-
member sufficiently far back into his
boyhood years to the time when ne
had never had enough dessert In his
life, there is no word in the English
language so suggestive Of toothsome,
llckerish Joy as pie, plain ple-par-
dcularly "punkin."
You can't spell punkin pie with an
I'm" and "p," declares a writer In the
Milwaukee Journal. Pumpkin pie is
the kind one gets In restaurants. fla
vored with cloves and allsplce. "Pun.
kin" pie has cinnamon and ginger in
It, and sometimes hint OF an unmen-
tionable heady fluid about which one
would not dare ask mother. And OF
all the smacking, ambroslal dellcacies
catalogued under the genus 'ple," the
best Is 'punkin."
There are other kinds, of course
apple, peach, cherry, squash, BURBERRY,
cnstard, lemon, mince-and every one
probably has Its value in the world.
Some people even may prefer them.
One never can account for different
persons tastes. But for boys, young
men and elderly men whose stomachs
have not yet grown old, there is none
that will approach "punkin," the
khaki.colored queen OF pastries.
One grows hungry at the thought of
'punkln" pie-the crisp, crinkly crust;
the thick. rich pungent filling, with the
dust Of cinnamon furnishing Its tawny
top; the creamy, dreamy, velvety, far
away taste as ones mouth closes on
its prize. Some appetizing Joys there
are. but none that exceeds capturing
piece Of punkin pie, getting II into
ones hands, contrary to ali social
usage, biting into 1t, until one almost
mires up to ones nose, until one can
scarce see over the top Of the up
standing crust, and beginning the I'M
equaled delight of devourlng the first
mouthful. To taste II is to love 1t,
love 1t and love forever.

Prisoners OF war have had many
thrilling adventures in their attempts
to escape across the German frontier,
but It would be hard to find a more re-
markable story than the following, told
In a Dutch paper: Four British es-
capped prisoners Of war, one French
man and seven Russians arrived at
oldenzaaI, besides two German desert
ers. An amusing incident took place
In the case OF one OF the Russians.
He was seized by the German sentry
when In the act OF crossing the from
tier, and in the course of the ensuing
struggle threw himself on the ground.
He fell half way on Dutch and half
way on German territory. The Dutch
sentry came TO his rescue and tried TO
pull him across by the shoulders. The
German pulled at the other end. When
the Russian found that the Dutchman
was helping him he started kicking
with all his might, with the happy re-
suit that he was safely pulled onto
Dutch territory.

RUSSIA, COUNTRY or FAMINE
Peasants, Next to orlentais, Are Re-
garded as the HungrIest People
on Face OF Globe.

Next to the proletariat OF India and
China, the Russian peasant feels the
pinch of poverty and hunger more
keenly and more frequently than any
other citizen on earth, the National
Geographic magazine asserts.
One of the earliest famlnes In Rus
STA of which there is any definite rec
ord was that Of 1900. which continued
for three years, with a death toll of
100000 peasants. Cats, dogs and rats
were eaten; the strong overcame the
weak and In the shambles of the pub
lie markets human flesh was sold.
Multitudes of the dead were found
with their mouths stuffed with straw.
Three Russian famines of compare
lively recent date were among the
most severe In the history Of the coun-
try. They occurred in 1891, 1905 and
1911. During the ten years following
the first Of these periods of deArth the
government allotted nearly S125l0O0,-
600 for relief work. but the sums were
not judiclously expended.
The famine of 1911 extended over
one-thlrd OF the area Of the empire in
Europe and affected more or less
100000 people, while 100000 were
reduced to starvation. Weeds, the
bark Of trees and bitter bread made
from acorns constituted the chief diet
for the destitute. This was the most
widespread and most severe famine
which has befallen European nation
In modern times.

First Woman Doctors.

The first woman admitted to the
Ecole Medicine, the famous Paris med
ical college, who also the first to be-
come member of the New York Acad-
envy OF Medicine, was DIR. Mary Put
nam jacob, who was born In London
seventy-Hve years ago. She was the
daughter of George p. Putnam, the
New York publisher, and studied in
several American schools before TAX
ing her degree In Paris In 1871. Two
years later she became the bride Of
DIR. Abraham jacob, native of Ger
many, who fled that country when
charged with high treason" for par
ticipation In a German revolutionary
movement, and, settling In New York,
became one of the most distinguished
Of American physicians. DIR. Mary
Putnam jacob was prominent in the
profession as professor and hospital
physician until her death In 1906 The
first woman physician In America was
DIR. Elizabeth Blackwell, a native of
England, who received her degree Of
NJ. ID. In 1849. and later returned to
England to practice her profession.

Invariably the radiantly happy mar
ried woman Of fifty has adopted the
mans point of view regarding her life.
The average man Is a better lover
than the average woman, because he
loves practically. showing affection In
acts rather than In words. From the
beginning his home is his inventive to

demands increase, he becomes so en-
crossed In his purpose that he forgets
to talk of love.
Then II is that the wife, who has
small understanding Of love in action,
pines because she is sure he has grown
cold. No, he is at fever heat. lest he
fail in providing physical proof Of his
affection.
The woman who finds happiness in
married life has sufficiently mascu-

instead Of brooding over imaginary

by work. Her domestic duties are dig.

In the famous Thirty Years war, 1t
is estimated, the population Of central
and western Europe was reduced from
thirty millions to less than fifteen mil
lions, and yet during the whole Of that
time there were only forty important
battles fought, and their total death
casualties did not reach half a million.
All the rest Of the frightful sweep

played equal havoc In the ranks Of the
armies themselves.
Even as recently as the days Of Gus
tavus Adolphus that great captain is
said to have broken up his winter quar-
tiers and begun his summer campaign
nearly two months earlier than he had
intended. because at the rate at
which his soldiers were dying from dis
ease In their huts and barracks he
would soon have had no army left to
campaign with.

heard, by telephone. of their predica-
ment, he had set out TO rescue them
with the farm wagon.
Now the carryall stood on the wrong

to get the belated band to its place

His shouted warning did no good, and
there came a clutch and wrenching Of

q little to one side, as II bored by the

Benny, taking the blame got down
from his wagon. resigning the reins to
someone else. After apologizlng to the
girl, he went to his mother, watching
the crowd from the steps. The neigh

Cement From SUGAR RAata

process for making cement from sugar
beets as a by-prOduct In the process

clay, and hlgh-grade Of cement re-
suits. The case Of cement is q strik-

process the potash by-product is some
times valuable enough to pay the en-.

"where In the world" 1t was the
hat that called forth Mrs. Benton's ex-
clamation. She and her family had
been coming for years to this mountain
resort of South Carolina for the sum-
mer holidays. And In the course of
that time she had seen much of the
mountaineers. But never had she seen
anybody like the girl who stood in the
shade Of the carryall that had Just
come to rest In the street before the
Benton house.
The hat was ten years out Of fash
ion, and must have been fright to
begin with. And the hat was sufficient
ly startling without the rest of the
girl-the rest was largely red hair,
fine, lustrous, wavy, very thick and

In heavy rolls about the girls head,
and entwined with faded blue ribbon.

were stuck here and there In the glow

The girl stood there searching in the
carryall for sundry belongings--a fam
ing purple parasol, a palm-leaf fan
with long red tassel, bright-colored
handkerchief. The small lad. her
brother. on the front seat, holding the
meek pair Of pillow horses, turned to
help her. And that is why he did not
see the Benton wagon coming down
the street at a smart trot, driven by
Benny Benton, and laden with the be-
lated band from town, come to this
town Of Locust Grove to do honor to
the Fourth Of July. The band had
started out vaingloriously In a motor
bus, only to find itself stranded seven
miles from its destination. As the town
was crowded with merrymakers from

SAUSAGE Makers Repartee.

An old story which is being revived
nowadays concerns two rival sausage
makers. They lived on opposite sides
OF n certain street IN London, and one
day one OF them placed over his shop
the legend, I'VE sell sausages to the
gentry and nobility OF the country"
The next day, over the way, appeared
the sign, 1--WE sell sausnges to the gem
try and nobility Of the whole coun-
try" Not to be outdone, the rival put
up what he evidently regarded as a
final statement. namely: 1--WE sell sau-
sages to the king" Next day there
appeared over the door Of the first
sausage maker the simple expression
OF loyalty, "God save the king"
