Yours is really a difficult case

night at Seventeenth street and

that he had never failed to cele-
brate Decoration day by getting
drunk In order to do this he jour

WheafIess Pastry.

Wheatless Pastry.
Corn Flour Pastry - One cup
-four, one-half teaspoon salt, one
teaspoon baking powder, one
quarter cup fat
Water sufficient for binding.
Cut the fat into the sifted dry in
gradients, and add the water slowly
in order not to use too much. This
crust is difficult to handle, since it
breaks easily. 1t should be rolled
thick, lifted into the pan and shaped
to the pan with the fingers. 1t
should be baked little more slowly
than wheat pastry.
Corn Flour and Rice Flour Pastry
-One-haIf cup corn flour, one-half
cup rice -four, one-half teaspoon
salt, one-half teaspoon baking pow
der, one-quarter cup fat.
Water, sufficient to make dough
slightly softer than for wheat
pastry.
Cut the fat into the sifted dry in
gradients and add the water slowly
in order not. to use too much. This
pastry has an excellent favor and
is particularly good for a lemon or
cream pie in which the crust is
baked before the filling is added.
Rice Flour Pastry-One cup rice
-four, one-third teaspoon salt, two
teaspoons baking powder. one-third
cup fat.
Water, sufficient to make a soft
dough.
Cut the fat into the sifted dry in
gradients, and add the water slowly
in order not to use too much. This
pastry has a good flavor. 1t is not
SO tender as wheat pastry, but it
has a crisp f1aky texture. 1t is ex-
cellent for a one crust fruit pie.
Cheese Straws from Rice Flour
Pastry-Make the rice -four pastry
according TO the recipe, using one
quarter cup of fat instead of one
third cup. Roll the dough in a thin
rectangular sheet, sprinkle half the
sheet with grated cheese and pap
rika. fold over the other half to
cover it, and press the two lightly
together with a rolling pin. Brush
over the top with milk, cut the
sheet in narrow strips and bake
them until they are delica te
brown.

yo ar. The last time | went to

ing why? JOHN.
II would be silly to live in mel
ancholy and misery when the rest
of the world might be so interest

gained by brooding about your loss
and so you might just as we'll try
to find pleasure with other girls
There are so many fine girls from
which to chose your friends that
before you know it. II you try, you
will be in love with someone else.

explanation that it would hardly be
dignified on your part to seek an

fact that the German offensive is on.
Liberty Bonds were steady.

COSTA RIGA AT WAR
NOW WITH GERMANY

San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua, May
24.-The government of Costa Rica
has declared war on the central
powers, according to advices receiv-
ed here. "'-' s'si"4'''.~'-' "'"'''''''
The declaration of war by Costa
Rica on the central powers brings
the total number of nations aligned
against Germany up to 21. All OF
the Central American States now
have clearly defined their attitude
toward the war. Panama, Nicara-
qua and Guatemala have become
belligerents. Honduras has several
diplomatic relations with Germany
while San Salvador has remained
neutral, explaining that this neutral
ity is friendly to the United States.
The government of Costa Rica,
headed by President Tainoco, has
never been recognized by the United
States. It came into power after the
deposition of President Gonzales, IN
January, 1917. In an effort to OBJ
tain recognition the Costa Rican
government sent an envoy to Wash
ington last July but was not receiv-
ed at the State Department.
