Souls.

Myksoul goes clad in gorgeous things, Scarlet and gold and blue; And at her shoulder sudden wings Like long flames flicker through. And she is swallow-heet. and free From mortal bonds and bars, She laughs, because Eternity
 Blossoms for her with starsI O folk who scorn my stiff gray gown, My dull and foolish face Can ye not see my soul flash down, A singing flame through space? And folk, whose earth stained looks I
 hate,
 Why may I not divine Your souls, that must be passionate, 2 Shining and swift, as mine. Fannie Stearns Davis, in the Ohio

HOM ME-MADE YEAST,

| Dear Social Corner Sisters: Al
 those who could not be present al
 Auntie No. 1's picnic missed rare
 occa : sion sion. The day was perfect and & large gathering. Its walls and | flowers were beautiful and she gave us all a big treat of nice peaches, with all the rest of the good things that the Sisters had donated and the excellent ice cream from The Bulletin. That was my first vacation day this season. I have attended only one pie nic besides the annual picnic at the lake. I regret I could not attend more of them, but living so far away I could not get there; but I know that all who have had the chance to attend them had nice time as we have a. sociable and jolly company that renews cur youth and also we learn many ways of doing and making things.
 How many of the Sisters make their own yeast? I find it quite saving to make my own. The recipe I have is most a century and I will pass it on TO you and hope it will help you, if you care to try it:
 Hop Yeast: One pint of hops put in and add three quarts cold water, set on stove and boil to get the strength and then squeeze bag and measure the water; If it has boiled away put in enough not water 10 make three quarts. Then set it back and let it boil again. While boiling take one good yeast cake and set a batter as you would for bread and let stand to rise.
 When the hop water gets to boil ing put in two tablespoons of salt; two of sugar and one tablespoon of ginger; then stir in flour to. thick cn.
 Have it not quite as thick as the batter for griddle cakes; then pour in a pan and beat it little to break lip Jumps; then let stand and cool. When luke warm stir in the yeast batter and let stand and rise for twenty minutes. Have a good, clean jug; put the yeast in and let stand over night uncorkeG in warm room. Ir .1e morning cork tight and tie cork. Then take it care fully down cellar where it is cool and you can keep it good for three months
 When you wish to wet up bread, have a care when you unite the cork. Don't shake up your yeast jug until you, have loosened the cork. as it is lively. Then shake up and use one cup of the liquid yeast for five or six loaves of bread. Set it to sponge as you do any other yeast.
 You can tell when your yeast is get ting old as there will be white specks on the top of it. If there are white specl1s on the top don't try to bake a new batch of yeast with it. Get a new yeast cake and start again: but if 1t is good use one large cup of yeast and set the sponge the same as you did the yeast cake.
 If any care to try it I hope they have as good luck as I do.
 J5=st wishes to all.

COOKING OIL

Dear Social Corner Sisters :-The spring was so late that I have said many times, wouldn't it be fine to have the warm weather prolonged un- til late in the fall.

HELP THE GOVERNMENT.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: You and I have been helping the United States government all summer. Many of us have given OUT sons. Many have cur gardens. All have canned and dried vegetables and fruits to feed our families. We have done all this patiently and often with much sac- rlfice of time and comfort.
 Now our government is asking all her people to help in one more di- recticn. namely to loan. her $s.0o0. .00o.- 900 for from ten to twenty five years. tc her as would bc done were we taxed. She is asking us to vo1untar- fly let her have the use ot this sum for time and she will pay us inter
 We have furnished between four srd five hundred million mon to de- fend the worlds liberty. These men must have camps in which to live and to give or receive instruction. In due time they must be transported across the water. In France they must have more camps. All of this the United States government must pay for. She must also pay for clothes. food, medicines, and muni- tions. She must keep an unceasing supply of these things ready. The lack for even one day means catastro- phe.
 Do you wonder at the tremendous sum called for when besides providing For our own men we are lending to tine Allies?
 We Sisters wish to have some part in carrying this great burden. Can not each one of us buy at least one $50 bond?
 Money is not plenty with us. but with our characteristic New England thrift can we not manage? You know one can pay s2.50 when subscribing for the bond and then $2.00 each week until the bond is paid for.
 If some one of our family is i'll we'd call the doctor and pay him $2.00 or more per visit. We'd find the money to do this. It wouldn't take long to pay him $50.0O eitheN
 Just imagine that the United States government is i'll. By paying $40 Fer week we are helping to pay her doctors bills.
 Let's go to the city, every one of us, within a week, go to one of the banks and subscribe for a Liberty bond.
 With best wishes.

GRAPE RECIPES.

Dear Social Cornerites: These methods of using and preserving grapes may be found useful:
 Grapes Preserved by Sealing Wax Select choice specimens of freshly gathered grapes. Do not separate from punches. Melt the end of a stick of sealing wax in a candle flame and completely cover the ends of the grape stems with hot wax. This excludes the air and retains the juice. Pack the grapes in a wooden box, separating the punches from each other by layers of cotton batting. Store in . cool place.
 Grape Jam: Remove grapes from the stems and wash. Separate the pulp from the skin and heat the pulp over a slow fire until it softens and changes color a little. Remove the seeds by pressing pulp through a sieve. Add the skins to the pulp, weigh and allow an equal quantity of su- gar to that of the skins and pulp. Mix together and cook 15 minutes. Turn into glasses and seal.
 Grape Sweetheart: Wash and re- move the skins from four pounds of grapes. Cook the pulp until soft and put through a sieve to remove seeds. Add the skins to the seedless pulp and cook Is minutes. Slice crosswise

THE PRESERVATION OF OUNCES

Dear Social Corner Friends: The following qufnce recipes may find fla vor with some of you:
 To can Quinces blanch them two minutes in boiling water. Then plunge quickly in cold water. Halye or quar- ter and remove skins and core. Be sure and remove all of the core which is very bitter if cooked. Pack into sterflized jars and add boiling sirup medium thin. Adjust caps and ster- flize twenty minutes in hot water bath or ten minutes in pressure cooker.
 Quinee Jelly can be made of some of. the skins and the inferior fruit. Also use the cores which contain a large quantity of natural gummy mucilaginoCs substance, often inci- Gentally used for making toilet lotions. Cover with cold water and cook slow ly three hours or until very soft. Place over night. Boil and skim juice in the morning for fifteen minutes. Then strain again, measuring and placing in a clean agate utensil. Heat sugar in oven and add in the proportion of three-fourths sugar to the weight of the juice. Cook quickly twenty mn utes. If desired flavor with lemon, mint or a tiny bit of cinnamon.
 Quince Marmalade may be made by slicing unpeeled qufnces, barely cov- ering with water and cooking until tender Press through a sieve and re- rlace on stove, allowing one and one fourth pounds of sugar to each pound of pulp. Cook slowly, stirring ire quently. If desired, ginger root or c4n- died ginger or lemon peel in the pro- portion of one lemon to each pint of pulp may be added.

WINTER MEETINGS.

Dear Social Sisters.-It is some time since I have written. but have taken time to read The Corner page. I thank those who so kindly remem- bered me with birthday cards: Selin- da, Practical Polly, Roxanna, Tidy Addly, Eliza Jane; Anna Nell and one out.
 was sorry I could not meet you all at Auntie No. 1's gathering; should liked to have met Great Grandma once more before cold weather. Hope to meet many at Rumble Bees the 17ih. I think Club No. 2 should get to- gether and plan for the winter gatn- erings. Several of the Sisters favor getting the hall spoken of last winter. It would be more central for tho se coming from a distance. Hoping to hear from some of the others soon, Yours for The Corner.

POOR ECONOMY.

Dear Social Corner Writers: It is a cold dreary morning, making us shiver in prospect of the approaching cold winter. It is not wise to put off being prepared to have a fire cool nights and mornings now.
 Many a severe cold has been con- tracted sitting in the unwarmed room while calling on a friend in the early fall before the stoves are set up in sitting room and parlor for the win ter.
 It is poor economy to try to save fuel by getting along without a fire when the evenings are cool enough to need one for comfort; better save some other way.
 What has become of Tidy Addly, Saturday Eve. Huldy, Etta Barber, Eliza Jane, Theoda, Married and Hap py and several others, who used to write often and their letters were very interesting.
 I have refraired from writing for two weeks for fear that I was crowd ing out some other one but none seemed to fill up the space so I will write a short letter to inquire why the Sisters mentioned have been so long silent. We would like to hear from them often. Hope they are not sick.
 With kind wishes to all Social Cor ner Friends.

 Parafine was formerly made from beechwood tar. but of late 1t is one of the by-products of petroleum. Par afine is used in candy making, why not one of the clements of crisco. By adding two teaspoons ,of cooking oil to one of melted parafine and stir ring a minute it becomes white and reminds one of crisco.

MISSING GIRL FOUND;
MAN LEAVES PLACE

TACOMA, Sept. 19.-Scouring the
woods about the mining town of Car
bonado, the posse in search of Mamie
Torkko, the 10-year-old child who dis
appeared last Wednesday evening,
found her at noon today, bruised, mu-
tilated and burned, 100 yards from
the road below the graveyard where
her father and brother are buried.
The child was conscious but very
weak. This discovery was made by
Crooked Joe Ginsky, and shortly be-
fore that bag of peanuts and a pack
age of unopened crackerjack, tossed
over a log at the side of the road,
found by John Johnson and Thomas
.Primm at 1880 O'Clock, led to the
discovery of the child.
Her body had been pushed under a
log in the deep brush and other logs
piled over her in an evident attempt
to set fire to them. Her face was
swollen and black, her yellow hair
dHu UdlC anu 1853 oioSh
ened.
A shout from Ginsky brought a
posse of fifty men, headed by Sheriff
Longmiere and City Marshal June to
the spot. Boys relayed the call for a
doctor and Doctors Shaw and Bren-
ton met the group on the way down
the road, the child being carried by
a sturdy miner.
When discovered the child weakly
opened her eyes and said "a man
pushed me over the log last night"
Later she described a man who had
been in the employ of the mining COM
pany. This man was closely question
ed the second day of Nantes dis
appearance by Town Marshal Charles
June, and when the sheriff was call
ed Friday the man dropped out of
sight completely.
After the finding of the girl to-
day the posse of 800 miners, with
the sheriff and several deputies and
a number of horses began systemat-
ic search for the girls assailant.
