The Way You Do It.

One reads that Darwin never under
stood an equation, and the chances are
that Isaac Newton could not have pass
ed any examination in literary or aes-
thetic subjects with his idea that poet
ry was ingenious nonsense and statu-
ary only stone dolls. Faraday had no
gift for mathematics, and it is moot
ed question If Napoleon Bonaparte
could have passed college entrance
examination in French. But It was
their ability to do some one thing well
that has turned the world upside down
at various times in it's forward march,
not their inability to do badly what all
the world only does moderately well.
1t makes little difference what you do.
The difference lies in the way you do
it. The business world is overstocked
with poor people looking for good po-
sitions, while good positions are wait
ing for good people to fill them.

Cooking the Rooster
To Make Flesh Tender

Hang the dressed fowl up for sew
eral days before, cooking to soften the
fibers, but be careful it does not spoil
Long, slow cooking in moist heat Is
best for meat that is likely to be tough
The fireless cooker is the best for this
Add one or two tablespoonfuls of vine
gar to the water to help soften the
flbers. If more rooster meat is on hand
than can be used at once and if the
supply Of cans is not short can the
surplus meat by the cold pack method
for winter use
Do not always serve boiled rooster;
vary the dish. Mix the meat with
crumbs, seasoning and eggs and make
rooster loaf" similar to meat loaf
Make croquettes or chicken pie or jel-
lied chicken. Many good recipes can
be found, using either gelatin or the
chicken aspic to set the stock for this
latter. Make a scalloped dish, using
chopped meat, rice and gravy.
In case the roosters have not yet
been killed it is best to separate them
from the flock and feed them on a
mash Of ground oats, bran, shorts and
tankage moistened with sour milk
This will help soften the flesh.

A Competent WITNESS.
In This Case Action Was Much More
Eloquent Than Words.

Eloquent Than Words.
Judge Pollard of St. Louis, originator
Of widely known probation system,
is the subject Of a story illustrating his
novel method Of dealing with trouble
some cases. A driver had been brought
before Judge Pollard charged with cru
city to animals. He had been driving:
CALLED mule, but he had an expert
witness in veterinarian, who testified.
that the sore on the mules back did
not pain the animal in the least.
The Judge listened attentively to the
long technical opinion and then de-
manded to know the mules where
abouts. He was informed that it was
harnessed to a wagon that stood in the
street in front Of the courthouse
The judge then ordered that court be
adjourned for five minutes. He took.
his cane and proceeded to the street,
went up to the mule and with the end
Of his cane gently touched the sore
spot on the animals back. The mule
promptly tried to kick the dashboard
off the wagon. Once again the judge

and the mule responded as before.
Judge Pollard returned to the bench.

MADDENING PROFESSIONS.
Your Work and Your Chances of No,
Becoming a Lunatic.


Becoming a Lunatic.
In view of the great increase of in
sanity during recent years, it Is in.
teresting to note the various classes Of
employment which are, more or less,
productive of madness.
A French scientist has recently been
investigating this question, and his re-
searches go to show that, apart from
the terrible nerve strain of war, the,
military and naval professions are the.
very worst a man can enter If he.
wishes to go sane to the grave. Out of
every 100000 who enter the army and
navy 199 become confrmedlunatics.
The liberal professions come in as q,
good second to the army and navy, the
list being headed by artists, who are.
very close followed by lawyers and
somewhat more distantly by the cler-
gy, doctors Of medicine, men Of letters
and civil servants. The number Of
people in these professions who become
occupants Of lunatic asylums is 1T to
each 100000.
The professional men are run very
close by domestic servants and day Ia
borers, of whom 159 out Of each 10O,-.
600 are sent to the asylum There is.
a big falling off before we arrive at
the next group, which is that Of me-
chanics, only SO Of whom go mad In
each 100000.
And, curious to relate and contrary
to all general belief, the group which
is most highly favorable to sanity is
that of commercial men, which sends
only AZ per 100000 or one in every
$3.50, Of its ranks to confinement.

Stuffed Peppers.

Grind a pound of lean beef and one
half pound of pork or veal, mix with
three tablespoonfuls uncooked rice,
pepper, salt, chopped onion and
tablespoonful Of fat or butter. Clean
the peppers, take out the seeds and fill
them with this mixture, then strain a
can of tomatoes into stewpan, add
pinch of sugar and salt and simmer the
peppers for two hours in this. When
done thicken the sauce with q little
-four.

SparroWs.

The white throated and white crown-
ed sparrows may be told by their
names. The fox sparrow is the larger
bright, rufous streaks and big spots on
breast. The song sparrow is about the
size of an English sparrow, but with
longer tail, streaks and large spot on
breast. The chipping and field spar
rows are smaller, with no spots on
breast. The former has lines on head;
the latter is rufous and sings very
SWeetly.

Fine In the Annie Season.

Line the sides only of baking dish
with a rich biscuit crust. Pare and
core enough apples to fill to the top of
crust when sliced. Season with cinna-
mon and sugar. Add little water to
make some juicy sauce, but not enough
to make it soggy. Cover with more
crust, piercing to allow the steam to
escape. The crust when baked should
be about half inch thick. If the dough
is patted out instead Of rolled it is not
SO apt to be tough. -,

GETTING Juice From Lemons,

If lemons are dried and do not seem
to contain much juice just pour boiling
water over them and let them stand

BELGIANS PROTEST HEAVY
TAX ASKED BY GERMANY
The Echo Beige Says IS, SOC, 900 Ex-
ira Francs Are Demanded
Of People.

AMSTERDAM. December 1.-THE
Echo Beige" Belgian newspaper
printed here. today publishes the text
Of protest recently addressed to the
German governor general in Belgium.
in which a Belgian senator and depu-
ties OF Brussels point out that in addi-
ton to the 100000 francs monthly
war levy by Germany the Belgian
budget is charged with items totaling
5s.500,ooo francs for the general Ger
man administration and the admins
tration respectively of posts. railways
and public works. and 100000 francs
for the cost of administration and sep
aration which the country does not de-
sire.
The protest contends that these
items should fall on the German levy
already referred to- The signatories
assert that their protest Is justified in
view of the fact that the Germans not
only imposed new taxes in 1915
amounting to 27.500,0 900 francs, but
now have established a tax on securi-
ties, In contravention Of The Hague
convention. The protest demands the
removal of the budget items and also
the removal of the new taxes.

Expenses Investigated.

After announcing n valuation for the
telephone company last summer. the
commission Investigated the expenses
of the company for the preceding year
to determine II the revenues warranted
a reduction In rates, and reached the
conclusion that the revenues could be
reduced by 100000 annually. How
ever. II the extra claim for depreciation
Is allowed, this amount would be placed
at about 100000 annually, and rates
could not be reduced to the extent In
dictated by the commissions invest!ga-
ton last summer.
II the company can make its depreci-
alton claims stick and show that its
business has been adversely affected
by the war, the chance of any cheaper
telephone rates being ordered by the
commission practically is negligible.
