usual with the exception of wheat
flour; substitute corn flour, potato or
barley. Roll the biscuit rather thin
and place a spoonful of chopped sea
soned meat on one, cover with another,
bake until well done and serve with a
brown gravy poured over each. This
makes good main dish, which will
use up Leftover meats.
Add cupful of stoned chopped
dates to loaf of bread when ready for
the pan.
Date Tapicoa.-Cook in double
boiler, stirring frequently, three table
spoonfuls of tapioca, three pints OF
milk and three-fourths of a cupful of
maple syrup. When cool stir in a cup.
full Of chopped dates, a teaspoonful OF
lemon juice, then bake in a well but
tered baking dish.
East Indian Meat.-Put pound and
a half of round steak through meat
grinder, also one green pepper and
onion, a cupful of bread crumbs and
salt and pepper4o taste. Mix well and
make into loaf. Lay in the baking
pan with slices of bacon over the top,
pour over can of tomatoes and bake
one and one-quarter hours. Remove
the meat and thicken the sauce. Serve
either hot or cold.

TRAGEDY Of French Trees.

Broken homes, ruined factories.
shattered churches, violated graves, IT.
had seemed to me we had rung all the
changes on the destruction of war. But
there remained one--the tragedy Of
the trees-says a writer in McClure's
Magazine. You can rebuild houses,
churches, towns even-for that takes
only money. But you can't rebuild or
chards of fruit trees and avenues Of
great shade trees-for that takes time.
We were seeing them everywhere now
orchards with trees that were but
faded, shriveled branches of brown
leaves lying on their sides; orchards,
where these had been cleared away,
that showed nothing but white-topped
stumps. They say that when the
warm spring came, some of these orr
chard trees, lying on their sides but
not wholly severed, leafed gently and
then-just before they died--bloomed
once again for France.

FERRY ACROSS THE CHANNEL
Freight Cars Are Carried for the First
Time in History From
England to France.

For the first time in the history OF
railroading a train ferry has crossed
the English channel from Newhayen,
England, to Dieppe, France, carrying
about fifty cars, says Popular Mechan-
les Magazine. Since early in the war
thousands of British railway cars have
been employed in France in transport
ing troops and supplies, but they have
all been transferred to the continent
by freighters. The Inauguration of
ferry service indicates that the diff
culties created by very pronounced
tides have been overcome at last to
the mutual advantage Of these two all
lies. At Dieppe the water level varies
as much as 81 feet. To overcome this,
short bridges, attached at one end 40
the dock and resting on large fols1,
aresemploged. Dxrlag loo 80 VI. !.
loading the ferry is n
boat and dock pier as wq The two
smokestacks are located one at either
side of the craft, leaving space for
tracks down the center of the deck.

WOMEN SUFFERERS MAY
NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney and bladder trouble and
never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result Of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss Of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
Kilmers' Swamp-Root, physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
Get medium or large size bottle i'm
mediately from any drug store.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Ad7.

This was never more true than today.
Business men, professional men, the

NO CALENDAR FOR 500 YEARS
Christians Reckoned Time According
to Customs Of Nations to Which
They Belonged.

History tells us that for 500 years
the Christians had no calendar Of their
own, but reckoned the years according
to the customs of the nations to which
they belonged. The Roman Christians
used the "Anno Urbis Conditae," or
year Of the founding of Rome, to count
from; others counted from the reign
OF Diocletian, calling it "the Era of
the Martyrs" and still others used the
calendar of the Copts of Egypt. In the
sixth century Denis the Little, Greek
monk living in Rome, made calendar
counting from the Incarnation, the
date of which he fixed at 1853 A. u. @.
So we commonly say that Rome was
founded 753 B. G.
At the beginning of the eighth CEN
fury the venerable Bede pointed out
that this was an historical blunder.
But no general notice was taken Of
his criticism and the error has contin-
ued to this day. Historic facts have,
enabled modern scholars to determine
without much possibility of doubt, the
exact year of the birth of Jesus, and
to place it at what we call B. G.
ut should be noted" says the great
French astronomer, Camille Flamma-
rion, shat the birth of the Savior re-
manned totally unperceived at the
time. No register of BIRTH no contem-
porary historian has bequeathed us
any sacred parchment registering the
event"
Moreover, although we are actually
approaching the year 1928 A. D., there
is little probability that our calendar
will ever be reformed to show the fact.
The confusion Of dates that would re-
suit from substitution of the more ac-
curate designation would be too great
to make such righteousness worth
while.-Cleveland Plain-Dealer.
The Knoxville independent. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1894-current, 1918-07-13

whole wheat flour used as wheat sub
stitute, which 1t is not. Whole wheat
flour used with barley -four to lessen
the use Of wheat is justified, but the
use of whole wheat flour as wheat
substitute is not conforming TO the
rules of conservation.
Honey Drop Cakes.-Mix half
cupful of any sweet fat with
cupful of honey; add a half cup
full of sour milk, teaspoonful OF
soda, teaspoonful of cinnamon, a
half teaspoonful Of cloves, half cup
full of raisins, and three-fourths Of a
cupful each Of barley and wheat flour,
one beaten egg, all well mixed and
baked in a moderate oven.
Corn Flour Chocolate Cake.--Take
two ounces of grated chocolate one
fourth of cupful of shortening, one
half a cupful of boiling water poured
over the chocolate, cupful of sugar,
one egg, well beaten. half cupful each
of corn flour and wheat -four, a half
teaspoonful of soda, mixed with one
fourth of cupful Of sour milk.
Rice Bread.-Cook cupful Of rice
in boiling water until tender, using five
to six cupfuls Of boiling water. The
age of the rice will make difference
in the time of cooking; rice that is
two or three years old taking a longer
time to cook Add two tablespoon
fuls of sweet fat, tablespoonful OF
strip and teaspoonful of salt to the
hot rice, stir and cool; add a half
cupful Of homemade yeast or a yeast
cake softened in three-fourths of cup
full Of the rice water; add four cupfuls
of -four, kneading it in gradually until
1t makes a very stiff dough, but the
moisture In the rice will soften 1t SO
that when 1t rises 1t will be quite soft.
Handle the dough quickly, shaping It
into loaves and when risen bake Tin
three ioaves1 for about three quarters
of an hour.

No Eats In Heaven.

Eugene, aged five, having been on a
strict diet for week, asked one night
after getting in bed: Mother, do they
have places where you can get things
to eat in heaven?"
She shook her head. "No, Eugene,
there are no restaurants in heaven /;
people do not have to eat there"
"Not even milk toast?'
mo-" she answered.
Drawing a long sigh, Eugene said !:
~ hope I don't have to die tonight
I'd hate to go to heaven as hungry
as I am"

CLAIMS by the Square Mile.

Any new source of food supply is
important in these days, and the gov
eminent fisheries bureau is greatly de-
lighted at the discovery Of the vast
and hitherto unknown beds of clans
off the coast of central Alaska, not
far from Cordova. One bed is 60
miles long and from three to five miles
wide.
The clans are quite different from
those common in our Eastern mar
kets. They are "razor clams"a kind
Of bivalve that derives Its name, APP
propriately descriptive, from its like
ness in shape to a razor.

There Is no economy in using old
or worn-out utensils; learn to keep
up-to-date equipment in the kitchen,
A workman is known by his tools.
Use small wooden spoons for stir
ring and avoid burns, as they never
get hot In the dish over the heat.
Have soap sha 7er, in which
gather all pieces of unscented soap

saving Of both soap and the hands
Save steps by using a tray or a wire
dish drainer in removing dishes from
the dining table. One trip saved is
worth the mental effort and many
times the trips may be divided by ten.
When standing for any purpose,
such as ironing, IL stool is not con-

will save the temper which is often
ruffied by poor tools.
A bottle of kerosene should be Kept
near the sink, which may be rubbed
after each washing with cloth damp
ened In the coal oil; this will take or
soil and clean the sink much quicker
than any powder or soap will do.
A roll of soft absorbent paper is
invaluable In the kitchen. 1t may be
used to wipe up spots on table or
door, or to remove waste from
dishes. thus saving in the dishwash-
ing.
When food burns on, in a dish, do
not scrape It, but put teaspoon of
soda and enough cold water to cover
the bottom and let It simmer for an
hour or two: then If there are any
obstinate spots, rub with a piece Of
pumice stone, which will not leave
bad scratches to rnughen the surface.

Did She Reslan?

When Bret Harte wrote "The Luck
of Roaring Camp" the young woman
who read proof for the Overland
Monthly, the paper for which 1t was
written, sent word to him that If any
thing so indecent was to appear in the
paper she would resign. The wife
of the owner of the magazine also felt
that It was somewhat risQue. Harte
was utterly unable to find anything
improper in the story and delivered his
ultimatum in opposition to that of the
proofreader. If the story was not
published he would resign. The story
appeared, but did not meet with IA
yor on the part of Californians, How
ever, It was great success in the
East and d Boston publishing house
offered to accept anything the author
might send at his own terms.
