Economy In the Use of Canned Goods
By Biddy Bye.

Much overeating comes from the
careless serving of rich pies and
cakes after heavy dinner. Canned
fruit served with cake makes a sup
per or luncheon sweet which is I'M
necessarily expensive, Dishes made
with tapioca or gelatin and canned
fruit cost less than cake and furnish
as much sugar as the ordinary per-
son requires in his diet.
Pineapple Tapioca.
Soak one cupful pearl tapioca in
enough cold water to cover; drain,
add 2 1-2 cupfuls boiling water and
cook in a double boiler until clear
Add one can of shredded tapioca, IL
teaspoonful salt, IL cupful of sugar
and turn into a well buttered baking
dish. Bake half an hour, and serve
hot or cold, with or without cream or
milk and sugar. Canned peaches or
fresh sliced apples may be substi-
tuted for the pineapple.
Apricot Fluff.
Press one cupful canned apricots
through a sieve; add sugar if re-
quired; allow one tablespoonful gran
uated gelatin dissolved in one cupful
boiling water to each cupful of the
fruit pulp; beat until the mixture be-
gins to thicken, add the beaten whites
of two eggs, turn into a mold and
serve with cream and sugar.

THE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
CENTER.

How great a stimulus to American IN
dustrial enterprises the war has been, is a
fayorite theme with economists; it is one
that is strikingly illustrated by the pheno2m-
email development of cotton manufacturing
in this country.
A few years ago, seventy-fve per cent OF
the raw material was exported to foreign
mills; now they could expect at the utmost
only fifty per cent, and at the present rate
of increase, American mills within twenty
years will be taking the entire crop, which,
turned. into finished fabrics, will be worth
FIVE billion dollars instead of billion.
A development of Importance to the
south which is coming to be more a manu-
featuring center than producer of raw
material AS Colonel Harvie Jordan, presi-
dent of the Southern Cotton Growers As
ISOLATION, meeting in Norfolk, said the
other day: "The south now occupies the
leading position in cotton mill consumption
throughout the world 1t consumes an
nually more lint cotton than all the textile
mills of Great Britain, more than all those
Of New England and the balance of the
United States combined, and more than the
combined countries of all Europe And
but few years ago the south was merely
the farm of the north It is in the finished
product that the profit lies. Exports Of
cotton goods from the United States in 1919
were forty million dollars greater than the
previous high record and imports were
twenty million dollars less than in 1915-a
gain of S20000OOO which is one OF. the
reasons for the tremendous balance of gold
in this country.

THE SCRATCH PAD
BY THOMAS EWING DA5NEY.

That was an interesting sugges-
ton in The Journals editorial yester-
day" said the literary man, "about
the Maize Colbert tragedy. 1t is in
deed a complete novel in itself, artis-
tlcally perfect. You can hardly pick
up paper but that somebody has
been murdered for love or revenge
or money, but they are either COM
monplace people and are not uninter-
esting or they do it in common
place way and it is not dramatic.
"You can't name book that has
better opening chapter than the
first newspaper report of this trag-
edy. Mystery and horror and en-
thralling interest-an artists model

mystification, and not simply blow up

first clue was an unpaid taxi bill,
have their case complete, and the
guilty one commits suicide in a bath
tub as they are pounding at the door
poetic justice for the very revolt
ing crime.
above all, the characters must be
striking-and here we have a famous
beauty; millionaire squandering his
fortune on her; another man with
whom she is infatuated; finally there
must be rapidity OF incident and con-
trast-what novel better fulfills these
canons ?-and there must be nothing
to offend good taste-the horror
must not be nauseating, the risque
must be toned down-and in these
two respects the story is perfect"

PENSION STATISTICS.

Secretary Lanes report shows that there
are rs widows of soldiers who served in
the war of 1912 still on the pension rolls i;
girls, no doubt, who married very, very old
men. There are 513 living soldier PEN
sioners of the Mexican war, which occurred
seventy years ago. and 3,785 widows. On
June 80, last, there were 362,277 pensioned
soldiers of the civilwar, a decrease of 81, 900
from the previous year. There were 287, :
753 widows, a decrease of 1854, the second
year of decrease.
The pensions paid by the government of
the United States from July l, 1898 to July
l, 1916, amounted to $5,054, $50, 1877,
whereas the war bill from 1898 through
1915 was 81, 657, 1922, POS, and the naval bill

and future need for pensions, it is impossi-
bic to say. Our state of preparedness will
have a great deal to do with that

fact remains that the new board is

BELGIUM TO END WAR
Reply to Pope Gives Conditions Upon
Which Germany Will EVacuate-

London, Sept. 27.-Germany has
agreed to evacuate Belgium on certain
conditions, it is declared in a German
official statement, according to a dis
patch from Berne given out by the
Wireless press.
Germany, it is stipulated, must have
the right to develop her economic en-
terprises freely in Belgium, especially
at Antwerp.
The proposal was made in a supple
mentary note to the Vatican, replying
to the peace initiative of Pope Bene-
dict.
The verbal note to the papal nunciO
said Germany would contribute a share
of the compensation to be paid to Bel
GUM for war damages. Belgium
would be required, it said to give
guarantee that any such menace as
that which threatened Germany in 1914
would in future, be excluded.
Belgium must undertake to maintain
administrative separation of the Elan
ders and Walloon districts introduced
by Germany, the verbal note says, be-
cause this separation corresponds to
the wishes of a majority of the Bel
gian people and because Germany de-
sires such separation on account of
racial sympathy.
