Great SUGAR Plantation.

About third OF the arabic area of
st. Croix is included in one large sugar
plantation owned by a Danish corpo-
ration, and it is one of the most beau
tiful plantations in the West Indies,
Its rolling fields of light, tender green,
catching the sunlight on a million quiv-
ering blades, lies between low range
Of darkly timbered hills and the blue,
palm-fringed ocean. There are royal
and coconut palms along the excellent
roads that intersect the great estate,
and along the stream courses in its
gentle valleys. Every hilltop is
crowned by some sort of a structure
and most of them are picturesque
ruins; for this island was one of the
first bits of the western hemisphere
that Columbus found, and it has been
occupied and cultivated almost ever
since.

She Understood.

Certain members of the house party
were describing the accidents that had
happened to them during their respec-
tive careers. Adventures by flood, fire
and field had all been well received,
and Mr.. Brown, eager for fame,
thought it was his turn.

very painful experience once. 1 ran a
confounded splinter uqite half an inch

uo,ze Still indispensable.

Owners and breeders of thorough
Ared horses for racing and other pur-
noses insist that the horse still is an
Indispensable national asset. Notwith-
standing the enormous number of
motor vehicles now used in warfare,
they claim that the British govern
ment has purchased considerably more
than one million horses and a quarter
of a million mules since the beginning
of the European conflict.

until you are hungry even if you skip
two or three meals. 2. Never eat when
you are hurried, worried, unhappy or
angry. 8. Consult the appetite before
eating and eat just what is demanded
at the time. A. Hold every mouthful
of food in the mouth as if it were the
last you ever expected to get. Give
the entire attention to it, taste it until
there is no taste left. Enjoy it for all
it is worth. The third rule is the one
on which trouble might easily hinge, as
those who have appetftes have not all
trained them to right living.
In discussing rule three with Mr..
Fletcher one man said, "Can the in
diligence of the animal appetites lead
to temperate habits when history
shows that they have always, from the
Why, if / followed my appetite, /
should never pass a saloon and should
always go to bed with my boots on ev-

pose you try it and see." The stipu-
lationS were that he should surrender
impulses to eat or drink, the one con-
dition being that he should make sure
that the impulse sprang from a phys
ical demand and not a mental -crav-
ing. He proved that it was a rest
less mind and not physical appetite
that was calling for alcohol. The

our natural appetites, but from &C.

BREAD AS ECONOMICAL FOOD
Would Be Used More Extensively If
Home-Baked Variety Was Always
Good, Say Government Experts.

If hOme-baked bread were uniformly
well made, it would be used more eX-
tensively than at present in place of
more expensive foods, say specialists
in the United States department OF
agriculture and this would be a dis
tinct economy. From the standpoint
of nutrition it makes very little differ
ence whether breadstuffs are served in
the form of bread or in the form of
breakfast cereals, side dishes with
meat, or desserts.
A man engaged in moderate muscu-
lar work can profitably consume about
three-fourths of pound day of
breadstuffs in any one of these forms.
This quantity is the equivalent of one
pound of baked bread. AS matter
of fact, however, it is not probable
that in the average family this guam
tity is consumed and the deficiency is
made up by the use of more expensive
substances. OF course bread alone is
not sufficient for the maintenance OF
health, but from both an economical
and a hygienic point of view should be
used more extensively than it usually
is declare the experts.

beans, but the advantage is far on
the side of the beans.
This year with potatoes so high, the
substitutes have been studied greatly
to the disadvantage of the ubiquitous
potato. Rice is cheap and is more cas-
lily digested than potatoes; it takes
rice one hour to digest, the potato
three. Rye, as well as whole wheat
and cornmeal, should take the place
of white bread on our tables.
In the cooking of vegetables in many
households the valuable mineral salts
are thrown down the kitchen sink and
the family are being starved for the
elements that keep a well-balanced or
ganism. The doctor is called on to
administer iron which should be taken
naturally from the vegetable foods.
1t should be the aim of every house
mother to study the needs of her fam
lily as to the physical, mental as well
as moral life. There is no doubt that
food has a great influence upon the
body and mind. Many a man is
drunkard because of insufficient food
or improperly balanced diet.
Children who are given highly sea.
soned foods, pickles and condiments,
are paving the way for future stomach
trouble or dissipation. Poor cooking,
bakers bread and such food, creates
dyspepsia and its cravings are often
mistaken demands for stimulants un-
til the habit is formed.
Food should be properly, but not
over, seasoned. To season food to such
an excess that its flavor is entirely dis
guised is neither good sense nor good
cooking. Salt should be used to make
food more palatable, an excess of salt
is not good for the system, and pep
per and all spices should be used most
sparingly.
After the pie is made and put into
the oven, unless you are a most ex-
act workman there will be small bits
left which may be used in several
ways.

Are you making georgette crepe
blouse? Then before you take anoth-

Of treating the shoulder seams and
Rrmholes. For the very thin blouse
you have probably got in the habit of
having the seams hemsdtched for a
finer finish. With this method, how
ever, you fagot the sleeve into the
armhole and the shoulder seams to-
,gether, slipping several beads over
each fagoting stitch. The effect
gained Is that Of solid bead beading,
