More Corn Meal in the Diet

Whether obtained at the retail
store, bought from a mill, or ground at
home, corn meal can be used In several
ways to give inexpensive variety to
the diet.
A dish of mush and milk has made
the greater part OF many a supper on
the farm and children thrive on il,
though they may rebel at cleaning
the kettle and the pudding spoon"
afterward, If the old time methods of
cooking it are followed. It is a simple
dish to make-just 81 cups of water
and teaspoonful of salt to every cup
OF meal. The water can be put in
cold and the vessel heated gradually.
A double boiler is very convenient in
cooking corn meal mush, as wen as
all other cereals, and easier to clean.
The great secret of good mush is long
slow cooking-the longer the better.
A fireless cooker, in which the cook
ing can go on all day or all night, is
very useful for this purpose. II
J For quick action" in getting break
fast in the city fiat, the corn meal and
salt may be put in the double boiler,
mixed with little cold water, and
then hot water may be added up to
the required amount. II clean hot wat
er Is to be had from the spigot, q good
corn meal mush can be made in three
quarters Of an hour. But corn meal
can hardly be cooked properly in less
time. ~. 60. e.. 81
4 Corn meal mush can be used in
many other ways besides as a break
fast or supper dish. Fried rnush,
mush with fruit. and rnush with
cheese, are in the list Of recipes:
Fish cakes with corn meal are good
and corn meal and meat Of different
kinds may be cooked together, scrap
pie" being favorite in some parts Of
the country.
Corn bread and corn griddle cakes
are made in many ways, all good.
Bread may be made of wheat -four and
corn meal, half-and-half. Puddings
and even doughnuts and cakes are
made with corn meal as the basis.
Recipes for using corn meal in all
these ways, and others, may be had
from the department of agriculture
upon request.

Washington, D. c., April 4.-One
way to reduce the cost of food for the
family. say the specialists of the u.
S. department of agriculture. is to use
corn meal. where this is low in price
as compared with other cereals. Corn
meal at present prices, when bought
at retail stores. costs about half as
much per pound as wheat -four. one
third as much as rolled oats. one
fourth as much as rolled wheat, and
about half as much as broken rice.
That is. 1t costs much less per pound
than any of the other popular cereal
foods, yet even the bolted corn. meal
usually sold, from which the germ Of
the grain has been removed to make
the meal keep longer, has a food
value which compares favorably with
that of wheat -four. 1t does not sup.
ply quite so much protein or mineral
matter for building the tissues Of the
body, but, on the other hand, 1t gives
more fat and starch, per pound, and
its value as a fuel for the body Is
fully as high.
The old fashioned unboIted corn
meal from the whole grain, which can
often be obtained by the farmer who
will take his grain to mill. and can
often be purchased in shops and mar
kets, contains more of the tissue
building material and has what many
consider even a better flavor than the
bolted meal. and is much liked for
making some forms of corn bread.
Any family, in town or country, can
have the best Of corn meal by grind
ing it at home in a hand grist mill.
The city man can buy corn by the
bushel at a grain store. He can grind
1t coarse or fine, to suit the taste Of
the family, and in quantities to last
a day or week, or longer. Most peo-
Pile will agree that this meal contain
ing the germ is very palatable and
compares well in this respect with that
ordinarily purchased ready ground.
Prices of hand mills of substantial
make run from $3.50 to $500. A small
mill can be had for as little as $3.50,
though this probably would prove too
tedious to use, except in small quanti-
ties.

STORY O. THE X-RAY REToLp.
st. Niche hs: A sheet Of paper, coat
ed with a certain chemical and lying
by chance on a laboratory table, dis
closed to German physicist the mar
vels of the X-ray.
In 1895 Wilhelm Konrad .Rontgen, a
professor of physics at the University
OF Wurzburg, was experimenting with
a glass globe from which most of the
air had been. pumped. The. professor
was repeating, and enlarging upon,
the experiments Of Sir William
Crookes by passing an electric spark
through metal rods imbedded in the
globe. While engaged in this, to him,
interesting pursuit, sheet of paper
coated with barium platinocyanide
happened to be lying on the table
near by. The professor noticed that
when he passed the electric current
through his apparatus, the coated
sheet Of paper emitted a peculiar,
phosphorescent glow, very much like
the light of a FREELY. Further expert
menting showed that when a metal
coin was placed between the glass
globe and the coated paper screen,
the coin cast a shadow on the screen.
But when a piece, Of hard rubber,
or wood was interposed in
place Of the coin, only q very light
shadow, or no shadow at all, could be
seen. Professor Rontgen was certain
ly surprised at this. Wood, rubber, and
are ordinarily quite opaque.
and allow no light rays to go through
them. The rays emanating from the
glass globe must be quite different,
then from light rays. The professor
took his apparatus into a darkened
room and found that although the rays
given out by his glass tube were quite
invisible to the eye, they were able to
affect a Photographic plate as readily
as light rays. Furthermore, he discov-
cred that even though the photo
graphic plate was fully protected from
light by wrapping 1t In black paper or
even putting it in wooden box, the
invisible rays from the glass globe
were able to penetrate the covering
over the plate and affect the plate in
the same manner as light rays.
Professor Rontgen, not having heard
or read about rays of this description
before, did not know what to call
them, SO he used the symbol 'Tx'' in
describing them, since in algebra x
denotes an unknown quantity. The
name stuck, and today we
still refer to Rontgen's wonderful dis
covery as the X-ray.
