WEATHER. AND APPETITE.
People Eat More on Stormy Days Than
They DO on Fine DAYS.

hey DO on Fine Days.
Watch what you eat the next time it
rains or SHOWS. Perhaps you think
the weather takes away your appetite
1t doesn't. 1t makes you eat more
The American Magazine explains what
weather does to the restaurant bust
ness. The writer says:
"a study Of weather and business
has its surprises. For instance, res
taurant men know that appetites are
not the same on dark, gloomy day as
on day that Is bright and cheerful.
Natural enough! The surprising fact
is that people eat most on the day that
Is dark and dismal.
"'On a cloudy day. an old restau-
rant man tells me, people just sit and
eat. There is nothing else to do. On
nice day they eat less and hasten
out into the open. But the less they
eat the more particular they are about
the quality
mot so long ago young woman
opened good little restaurant near
the department Of agriculture in
Washington. Most Of her customers
are employees Of that department. She
does a big business every day, but the
rush is greatest when the day is the
stormiest. On fine day the men from
nearby buildings walk to restaurants
farther away, just for the exercise.
Those who do not go to other restau.
rants cut down their eating in order to
spend all the time possible in the open
air."

Naeded a Sea Turn.

Captain Lane had retired from active
pursuit of his beloved calling and had
turned his attention to town affairs.
Having succeeded in rousing the citi-
zens to the need of a drinking fountain
and also to the need of two coats of
paint on the town hall, Captain Lane
felt himself valued and important
person.
One day he was asked by sojourn-.
er in the town to give his opinion Of
the present administration.
"It's pretty fair" said the captain
slowly. "Of course there's things that
could be different and would be better
so, but on the whole it's pretty fair
But now III tell ye-I'm speaking
from experience, you understand
things at the seat O. government won't
be run as they could be run till the
people O. this country make up their
minds to stop combining their votes to

says Miss Marion p. Brough-
ton, specialist in home economics in
the Kansas State Agricultural college,
"These defects are mostly physical,
and the most frequent cause is poor
-four. II the flour is poor the gluten
Is poor, and the color of bread de-
ponds upon the gluten. Gluten forms
the framework of the bread, and if it
Is poorly developed in the -four it will
make the bread coarse.
"Bread should not be oiled when put
In the pans. Fat when baked brings
out the defects in the bread. A hard
crust is caused by the unequal distri-
button of the fat when oiled.
SECURING of bread is caused by too
much carbon dioxide and too little
oxygen. This can be remedied by
thorough kneading. Large holes that
are often found can be worked out by
heading. When rolling the bread to
put into the pans be sure to leave no
creases underneath the loaf. for these

bread should be good and sweet. If
an acid flavor is noticed, there has
been too long fermentation.
"The musty flavor often noticed in
bread is caused by old -four, and il

"A starter is commonly used among
the farmers wives. The jar in which

the starter will be ruined"

CARE OF COMPLEXION.
Why Our Skins Are Made Brown by
the Sun,

the Sun.
That freckles are caused by the heat
from the sun seems to be an exploded
theory now. The light is given as the
cause, and in order to protect the skin
from the too strong rays the coloring
matter, or brown paint, as it were, alb
serbs the suns rays to protect the thin
walled blood vessels so close to the
surface.
While sunlight is very necessary,
only certain degree of it is good for
Us. Beyond that 1t does US harm.
Some people can stand 30 much more
Of the SUMS rays than others without
browning, such as those who live In
the tropics. Their brown pigment pro-
tects their bodies. Many would rather
endure our northern winters than to
be brown as berries.
Chiffon wells and other close fllmy
materials should be worn during pro-
longed exposure to the suns rays and
wind to preserve the complexion and
also save the trouble Of trying to get
rid of the freckles or tan.

A special study of the influence of
sea-coast Notifications has been made
by the army war college, the deduc-
lions and conclusions being based on
an analysis Of the attack Of the allied
fleet on the Dardanelles.
The operations there emphasized
the fact thoroughly demonstrated by
history, it is declared, that a purely
naval attack cannot succeed against
seacoast Notifications adequately
armed and manned. In the war col

Tho Great PriviIsa. Of illness.

Illness is the great privilege Of life.
Love only Is comparable to 1t. They
are twin privileges. Both deny the
common value Of things; both assert
that mans destiny is bound up with
transcendental powers. OF this theirs
is the only testimony we have, for the
body's evidence is denial-a mega
tive assertion that the sparkle Of con-
sciousness is random striking of sub
stance on substance, like steel on flint.
Illness pares and lops off the outer
parts Of life and leaves us with the
essence of it.-Henry Dwight Sedg-
wick in Atlantic.

placed and concealed guns equal in

with the accessory means of defense,
such as fixed and floating mines,
shore torpedoes and submarines, need
not fear capture By bombardment or
a run past the forts.
A fort on the seacoast proper, ex-
posed to the fire from ships at sea,
must have guns of greater range than
the ships guns, otherwise the ships
guns could silence the guns on shore

far from his native land, to find the
largest crystal of beryl (aquamarine)
ever discovered, q long distance inland
in Brazil. 1t was dug out at a shallow
depth, transported by canoe to the
coast and finally sold at Bahia, bring

furnish fully 100000 carats Of aqua
