Among the many feminine rulers
of England who went to extremes of
suffering and during in order to main
tain their regency, one figure remains
uniquely clothed in tradition and
mystery as having received - those
of the day believed-supernatu
aid. She was Emma, joint ruler with
her son, Edward the Confessor.
Emma shared the English throne
on three different occasions, and her
career seems to have been an unusu-
ally eventful one, even for those stir
ring times. She was the daughter Of
the Duke of Normandy, and was mar
ried to Ethelred, King Of England.
Their reign was short lived, however,
for on the invasion of the Danes they
fed the throne. Later, however,
Emma married Canute, and on his
demise she reigned conformity with
her son, Edward the Confessor. =,
AS a ruler Emma seems not to have
achieved much popularity, for we
find her opposed by a powerful fac
ton, headed by the Earl of Kent. All
sorts of clanderous rumors were grad
ually spread about her, but how much
truth there was in any of them his
tory seems not to have determined.
She was finally caught In a network
of intrigue and was accused of high
treason.
Without the formality of a logical
trial she was condemned to walk
barefoot over red hot ploughshares.
This was to be her test Of innoncence
or Of guilt, for her prosecutors main
tanned if she were innocent she could
walk over the scorching irons unhurt.
If this seems amazing reasoning
possible only in the middle ages, we
| need but turn to the history Of our
own colonies in the days of the witch
craft scares, for we will find that our
own Puritan fathers subjected the
suspected witches to such ordeals
Burnings and drownings were not
uncommon, the pious accusers affirm
ing that the guilty persisted, while
those who were innocent would sur
vive even when put to the fatal test
of flame or water.
Emma, however, seems to have
avoided the fate prepared in some
way-those Of the time declared mi
raculous. The night before her tor
tuous trial she spent in prayer before
the tomb of st. Swithin, gathering
strength for the ordeal.
Her fiery trial took place in the
Cathedral Church at Winchester, in
the presence of her son, the King, all
the nobility, the clergy and many OF
the common people" She appeared

CORN MEAL.

For some weeks corn meal has
been accommodating in the wholesale
houses, stores, and in many homes
until now there is large surplus Of
it in the state, which must be used
Immediately or spoil. To allow any
food TO spoil at this critical time is
criminal, and a violation of the
wasteful practical section. 1t follows
that the only thing to do is to use it.
By corn meal, we Go not mean corn
-four, hut the yellow or white meals.
If you have the idea that it should
not be eaten in hot weather, disburse
your mind of it. If that were true,
how do you accouat for the fact that
in the south, where it is warm all the
year around, they use corn meal daily
Z: is in every way as patriotic a privi-
lege for every housewife to use corn
~ meal daily for the next six weeks as
it is for her 70 knit, make surgical
dressings, or buy thrift stamps, and
your response to this appeal is ex-
pected to be equally hearty.

Mrs. Caldwell is a middle-aged wo-

cannot wear anything that's frilly or

good lines, and one that emphasizes

the soil about the plants, and see that
a small quantity lodges on the To-

For the heliotrope, tobacco is a fine
fertilizer, and will cause almost in

the small quantity lodging on the foli-
age will remove any insects, such as
the green aphis or white fly, which
frequently so sap the life out of this
plant as to cause it to be very slow

So unaffected was she, and appar-
emily so untouched that chroniclers,
say she appeared not to know she
had finished the test, for after having
walked over all of the hot plough
shares she turned to ask her inquisi-
tors when they were going to bring
her to her ordeal.
"a miracle! A miracle" cried the
King, awe-struck, while Emma's per-
secutors tremb1ed in fear. Quickly
the King threw himself on his knees
before his mother, imploring her for
giveness, which she freely granted.
Then as a sigh of remorse the King
did public penance.
He laid bare his shoulders before
the bishop and ordered him to tsrike
him with the scourge until he had
expiated the injury done to Emma.
