Soups of Various Kinds.

Soup is food that is equally good
for old and young, and Il nourishing
soup is especially good for growing
children and should be often found in
the ration prepared for them.
Cream soups and purees are more
nourishing than the clear broths. The
latter serve n valuable purpose when
followed by hearty meat dish, but
the heavier soups are Il meal of them
selves if served with plenty of good
bread and butter. Children should
have much simpler meals than the
parents and, when possible, have their
meal earlier, so that they may have
plenty of sleep.
Soup meat should never he put into
water to be washed, but carefully wiped
with a damp cloth, as washing deprives
it of its juices.

This Prevents Seasickness.


Encouraging tests have recently
been made by an eastern inventor with
a self-adjusting berth for steamships.
In it's present form the device has
somewhat the appearance of a lawn
or porch swing set in a reclining posi-
ton, but although it might be en-
ployed in such capacities it is primar-
lily intended to provide a level, vibra-
tionless bed for steamer passengers.
The bunk is suspended at the head
and foot from an angular beam,
which In turn, is hung from the cross
bar of the supporting frame. The
arrangement permits the bed to re-
main level at all times, regardless OF
either the longitudinal or lateral mo-
lions of vessel. Furthermore, the
vibrations of the engines and pro-
pellers are not transmitted to the oc-
cupant of suspended berth. The ap-
paratus was tried out and commended
by passengers and officers aboard a
steamer plying between New York and
Norfolk. The device is protected by
patents.-Popular Mechanics Maya

Blowing Up a Gun Position.

There had been moderate firing all
through the day, but, as often hap
pens, there was now a complete calm.
An officer, staring through his peri
scope binoculars, called my attention
to group of Germans. They We're
some, distance back of their own front
lines and We're working under a screen
Of green branches. They We're evil
IDENTITY laying steel plates for ma
chinegun protection. The artificial
bushes We're almost sufficient blind
but not quite. At that second there
was the burst of gun back of our
lines. The next instant I saw tree
crash down at the exact spot where
the Germans We're working. A wave
of black dirt rose, mixing its color
into the white puff of the exploded
shell. There was no more machine
gun parapet repairing that afternoon.

Cooks Revenge.

In the peaceful quietude of a sum-
mer evening, red-faced cook put
her head out of the window of a SUBJ
urban house and shouted: "Thieves
Police y at the top of her lungs.
Instantly all was confusion. The
neighbors left their houses, and a per-
spring policeman came reluctantly I'D
the steps of an area opposite and COM
menced a search for the marauders.
But not soul could he find. Every.
thing in the house was in apple-pie or
der, and, after looking about for some
time, he left in disgust.
Martha, why in the world did YOU
give that false Alarm" her mistress
asked her afterwards.
ITO have my revenge on the police
man, ma'am," Martha candidly con-
fessed. "The brute's thrown me over
for the cook across the way, and he
was just sitting down to supper there
when l called out 'Policep and made
him run. Now the grub will be cold,
and l know from experience, ma'am,
that If there's anything on earth that

Had a Good Voice.

Zenatello, the tenor, like all noted
opera singers, is besieged by all sorts
of people with requests to hear voices.
But he has an extraordinary sense of
humor. One day Il lady asked him to
hear her daughter. He and his wife,
Maria Gay, heard her sing Butterfly"
and it was difficult for them to refrain
from laughing at the earnestness of the
girl The mother asked Zenatello for
his opinion and he asked, do you real
ly want the truth?' The mother said
she did. ''Then | advise your daugh-
ter never to sing again" The mother
was indignant, but the daughter said
Il am sorry you think that, but l am
really obliged for the truth. because it
will save me years of wasted time"
Zenatello smiled and said: Il told you
that to see whether you would become
angry. You have talent and very
promising voice. Work and never
waste your time on anger and you will
succeed"

.GYPSlES WHO LIVE ON WATER
Fifty Thousand Nomads, II Has Been
Estimated, "Run the Banks"
of the Mississippi.

The lower Mississippi river is one of
the greatest houseboat play regions of
the United States. Beginning in the
early autumn, people who dread the
cold and who seek a long winter rest
leave Ohio and upper Mississippi river
towns and seek the thousand miles of
flowing road from Cape Girardeau to
the Gulf of Mexico. This fall migra-
ton of humanity-this wandering of
river gypsies Is one of the strangest in
the country.
1t is said there are more than fifty
thousand people living on the hundred
thousand miles of navigable streams
in the Mississippi basin. These are
the shanty boaters, who dwell in vari-
Gus ways on the rivers and rubbing
the banks" Besides these river people
there are large numbers of sportsmen
and temporary residents afloat in mo-
tor boats and Households, making u
population of perhaps one hundred
thousand, not including the steam
boaters," who scorn the shanty boat
ers.
Between the two classes of river
people is a feud that dates from the
old keelboat days, when steam power
deprived the huge rowboats of their
passenger and freight traffic.
The shanty boaters are strange float
ing nomads. They have many kinds
of boats, which they call cabin boats"
and which range all the way from a
"hogpen on a raft" to luxurious gaso-
line-driven households of large size
and beautifully equipped. An iceman
whose factory Is In lower Ohio town,
slips away at the end of his season
and cruises in the low Mississippi DUR
ing the winter months, accompanied
by hunting dogs, a deckhand, and a
| motor engineer. He Is a real shanty
boater, because he knows all the old
timers and dwells in amity with them
| though he drives a $4,000 household
and some of his good friends live in

Take three and half pounds of
veal, a chicken or a rabbit, two stalks
of celery, any poultry bones, two
blades of mace, one onion, two quarts

pieces, put them into the pot with the

strain, and when cold remove the fat.
The bones may again be covered with

AeropIanes to Guide Ships.

Aeroplanes for sighting icebergs and
icefields, to enable ship to steer clear
of them, are being seriously consid-
cred by Norwegian steamship COM
pany that has many difficulties from
ice. The steamers of the line ply to
Siberian ports by an Arctic ocean
route, which is badly blocked by ice
foes in some seasons.
Under the present method, when
fioes are sighted by the lookout, the
steamer has to cruise back and forth
until 1t finds way through or around
the foes, and much time is thus lost.
The proposal is to have an aero
plane on each steamer and to have one
of the crew trained to fly. When ice
is sighted the aeroplane would go up
and the airman could in many in
stances see that in a certain direction
the water was clear, or perhaps even
determine the entire extent of the
foes. His report would then enable
the captain to fix the shortest route
round the obstruction.
Methods of launching an aeroplape
from the deck of a vessel are still i'm
perfect, and other obvious difficulties
appear; but the company has the idea
in mind and hopes it may find it feas-
ible.

N.a NAt~ e4a
Spending Money Relative
Matter Whether It's Buying
Peanuts or a Private Car

The spending of thousands without
thought is probably not so different
from spending dimes and coppers
when you get used to it. The man
who makes half million over night
in war babies probably feels much the
same when he blows $4,000 at lick
as you do after you get your envelope
and take home a bag of peanuts to the
kids. There is a kind of glow of sat
isfaction in being able to spend
dime. AS for the loss of the money
neither you nor the millionaire will
know the difference by Monday morn
ing. 1t is all relative matter, says
a writer.
Just the same, it must be a sensa-
ton the first time you do as the man
did who breezed into the Pennsylvania
railroad office in New York one day
last summer and ordered private
car to take him to San Francisco. OF
course, the Pennsy gets similar orders
every once and so often and they are
not in the habit of becoming excited
about them.
But this was little out of the
ordinary, because no private cars were
to be had, and when the prospective
traveller was so advised he seemed to
feel somewhat as commuters do when
the incoming fall time table drops the
fast summer train. In other words, he
appeared to be annoyed and he showed
it by ordering the railroad folk to buy
him car.
They did that little thing to oblige
and it cost him some $20000-but it
was worth it. He didn't have to
worry once between New York and
the coast about getting up and giving
a perfectly good, comfortable seat to
a lady.

Almost any kind of meat and bone
may be put into the stock pot and the
careful housewife will not waste one
clean scrap of meat or bone. Take
three and half pounds of beef, some
poultry or game bones, four cloves, two
bay leaves, one teaspoonful of whole
peppers, two quarts of cold water, two
carrots, two Drowned onions two
stalks of celery, some sweet herbs, like
marjoram or thyme, and simmer slowly
for four hours; strain and when cold
remove the fat. The bones may be
again covered with water and SIM
mered to extract all flavor, and this
thinner soup used to add flavor to
other soups.

SUFFERERS FROM BACKACHE.
RHEUMATISM AND KID
NEY TROUBLE.

Before an Insurance Company will
take risk on your life the examining
physician will test the urine and report
whether you are good risk. When
your kidneys get sluggish and clog,
you suffer from backache, sick-head-
ache, dizzy spells, or the twinges and
pains of lumbago, rheumatism and
govt. The urine is often cloudy, full
of sediment; channels often get sore
and sleep is disturbed two or three
times a night. This is the time you
should consult some physician of wide
experience-such as DIR. Pierce, of the
lnvalids' Hotter and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, N. Y. Send him 10 cents for
sample package of his new discovery
"An-uric." Write him your symptoms
and send sample of urine for test.
Experience has taught DR.. Pierce that
"An-uric" is the most powerful agent
IN dlssolving uric acid, as hot water
melts sugar, besides being absolutely
harmless and is endowed with other
properties, for it preserves the kidneys
In healthy condition by thoroughly
cleansing them. Being so many times
more active than lthia, it clears the
heart valves of any sandy substances
which may clog them and checks the
degeneration of the blood vessels, as
well as regulating blood pressure.
oAn-uric" is regular insurance and
life = saver for all big meat eaters and
those who deposit lime salts in their
joints. 1t can now be obtained of the
best druggists in 50-cent packages.

homes has become so manifest that it
Is not worth while to dwell further up-
on it.
During the recent battle against in
fantile paralysis we took two small
towns which were badly infected with
the disease and had the homes
cleansed, insect life destroyed, food
Kept clean and no garbage, ash piles
or manure allowed to collect. The
streets and alleys were made clean in
each town and infantile paralysis rap
idly disappeared. The cleaning up of
the municipalities seemed to run paral-
lei with the subsiding of the disease.
The fact that the disease spreads at
times beyond the boundary lines Of
these dirty breeding places is no argu-
ment against the theory of cleanliness
as preventative of infantile paraly-
sis. AT present it is well to look upon
filth and insect life as factors taking
large part in permitting the so-called
plague to invade our homes.
Cleanliness regarding our children,
homes, stables, yards and towns, as
well as guarding our houses from all
kinds of insect life, must be insisted
upon by each individual citizen and by
those in charge of the health and
cleanliness of our towns, country, vii
lagos and homes.
