Advice to Girls,

Little girl, the best thing for you to do is to get the idea out of your head that you can marry that wild boy and reform him. That boys mother is old CT than you and she has had more eX- perience, and if her older years of teaching, pleading and prayer have not brought results, you have no job that an amateur can do cut out for you. Forget all about him, and you will be happier in the long run. It often takes dynamite, stump puller and dry cleaning on top of that to weed out wild oats.-Emporia Gazette.

Tablet Erected to Alexander selkirks Memory on Juan Fernandez.

imagination and led to the writing Of
Robinson Crusoe.
Captain Rogers book, in which the
adventures of Selkirk were told, was
also the inspiration, or rather the text,
of Cowper's poem, which is generally
called Solitude" but which the poet,
in what was fashion in the eighteenth
century, called "Verses Supposed to Be
Written by Alexander Selkirk During
His Solitary Abode in the Island of
Juan Fernandez"
A literary man who took up the con-
nection between Selkirk's adventure
and Defoe's story of Robinson Crusoe
has written this:
"There was more than enough Of a
scores of others. But Defoe got
his hero, Robinson Crusoe, round the
Horn or into the Pacific at all he
started him from England, shipwreck-
ed him in Africa, sent him as a planter
to the Brazils'-as he always plura-
Lies the name-and finally blew him
north, shipwrecked again on an island
which Defoe carefully labeled on the
title page of the first edition as being
at the mouth of the mighty Orinoco,'
a continent and parts of two oceans
removed from Juan Fernandez"
The Island of Tabago in the Carib-
bean archipelago was mentioned by
one writer as the island of CruSoe. but
Tabago, north of the Trinidad, is too
far from the mouth of OrinOcO to
agree with what, Crusoe say Of the
location of his island. Louis Rhead.
in a preface to one edition of Robin
son Crusoe, wrote: "a map has been
prepared to show the real location,
which Is at the mouth of the Orinoco,
thirty miles northwest of Trinidad, an
island lying just in the Caribbean
archipelago. The island is now known
as TabagO."
A good many distinguished writer's
have mistaken the Island of Juan Fer
nandez for the island of Robinson Cru
soc, and among them was r. III. Dana,
IT., who, in his "Two Years Before the
Mast" wrote that he saw the Island
of Juan Fernandez "rlsing like a deep
blue cloud out of the sea" when his
brig, the Pilgrim, was seventy miles
away. After the briggs stop at the
island Mr.. Dana wrote: 81 gave 1t q
parting look and bid farewell to the
most romantic spot of earth my eyes
had ever seen because of the associ
ations which every Sne has connected
with 1t In their childhood from reading
Robinson Crusoe."

Heioht zeppeIins Can Reach.

Basing his statement on accurate
measurements of a Zeppelin that was
brought down in England last Octo-
Der, on known facts regarding the lift
ing power of hydrogen gas, on the
state of the barometer during the
flight, on the temperatures of the air
recorded in tn airship's log, Jhadoo
Jahoz writes in Aeronautics as fol-
lows:
SIT would appear from the foregoing
that the latest type of Zeppelin is de-
signed to be able to attain a height of
1900 to $4,000 feet when over it's OBJ
jective and after dropping it's bombs,
but is capable of going even higher
under stress of circumstances and at
the risk of suffering some slight DAM
age on returning to it's base. These
conclusions accord we'll with Mr.. War
ner Aliens statements that these air
ships are built with a view to flying
between 10000 and $4,000 feet OF
course, on a short flight they could go
higher, in view of the reduced quanti-
ty of petrol to be carried"

Soldiers CohhIer Kit.

Our soldier boys learn many things
besides actual soldering. When they
return to their prosaic tasks after the
war, there will be many a bank clerk,
for instance, who will be eligible to
join the cobblers' union. OF course
there are shoe-repair stations all along
the lines of battle, but so much de-
ponds upon the condition of his shoes
and his consequent foot-comfort, that
most of the boys carry a little cob
blers' kit and make small repairs them
selves. The kit consists primarily of
a hollow handle, the top of which I'M
screws to disclose the awl, screwdriver,
cobblers' tacks, and other essentials
for repair work. At the opposite end
of the device is a spool Of waxed Irvine,
which threads Immediately into the
awl when the awl is screwed into
place. When some other tool, such as
a screwdriver or knifeblade, is to be
used, it is screwed into place instead
of the awl. In addition to his shoes
the soldier may mend his torn leggingi
and his saddle straps.

Some Good Rice Recipes.

AS a staple article of diet, rice may
be boiled in sailed water and used like
potato or sweet potato as a vege-
table at a meal at which fish, meat,
eggs, beans or other foods rich in pro-
tein are served. Wholly or partially
cooked rice can be used with cheese,
minced meat or poultry, fish, eggs,
beans, gravy, etc., for q variety of
made dishes, the combinations consti-
needed food elements are present. 1t
also may be used as a major or minor
ingredient in stews and soups.
Instead of serving rice plain as a
vegetable, 1t may be stewed with to-
matoes, cooked in a double boiler with
tomato juice, soup stock or milk, or
it may be seasoned with curry pow
der, onions or other seasoning mate
rails. By using skim milk in this way
a partially economical dish Is pro-
duced.
AS a cereal for breakfast, rice may
be boiled in milk and sweetened, or
eaten with butter and salt. If It is
desired, dried fruits such as dates or
raisins may be cooked with the rice.
Cold boiled rice, mixed with pancake
or muffin batters of wheat, buckwheat
or cOrnmeal, for instance, makes a
pleasing addition to such food prod
ucts, reduces the quantity of wheat
needed, and furnishes a method for
using the leftover cereal.

rone layer, and germ, which contains
much protein and other important food
constituents, are removed, reducing
greatly the nutritive value of the
grain. The real difference between
these two mill products is largely in
the coating of the polished rice with
glucose and tale, and the absence OF
coating material On the unpublished.
The superiority of the brown rice
over either of these lies in the fact
that the entire seed as nature pro-
duced it is used, except the i~nclosing
husks or hulls, which have been re-
moved.

OWE THEIR LIVES TO WOMAN
How Mrs. John Hays Hammond Won
Pardons From Grim Old "oom
Paul" Kruger.

John Hays Hammond, an American
citizen, was in prison, under sentence
of death. He had been tried and o n
victed of high treason to the South
African Republic. One of four leaders
of the reform movement in the Trans
vaal, he was charged with completely
In the famous Jameson raid, found
guilty, and sentenced to die.
Only one person lived In the Trans
vaal with sufficient power to set aside
the death sentence passed upon the
man who is known today as the great
est mining engineer in the United
States. This was Dom Paul Kruger,
then president of the South African
Republic. He was an old man-nar-
row, bigoted and possessed of an in
tense hatred for the eager, grasping
strangers who he believed had sought
his country only to despoil it.
John Hays Hammond was among the
most enterprising and, consequently,
one of the most disliked, of the foreign
residents of the Transvaal. For years
he had been employed as an engineer;
first by Barney Barnato, the English
mining operator. and later by Cecil
Rhodes, to locate diamonds In Dom
Paul's country. Dom Paul disliked
him. He disliked all men who brought
swarms of eager reckless adventures
into his country. And he made life as
difficult for them as he could.
In 1895 the world was startled by the
-o--. that n Drifsch olxnnftIrDr nnnfnr
Jameson, had led a raiding party of
armed men into the Transvaal. The
raid failed. John Hays Hammond
was among those arrested on the ac-
%cusation Of having instigated jane
sons attack on the South African Re
public. He was found guilty and SEN
fenced to die.
But the brave, c~ool-headed wife of
the eminent American mining engineer
did not intend that anything disagree
able should happen to her husband.
Ever since their marriage, in 1880,
Mrs. John Hays Hammond had fol-
lowed the fortunes Of her young en-
gireer, no matter where they took him.
But when they threw him into jail
under q death sentence, she decided
that it was time for her to interfere.
She made up her mind to see Dom
Paul Kruger and tell him that she had
come to save him from the crime of
putting an innocent man to death. 1t
was not easy to, see President Kru-
ger, but Mrs. Hammond proved equal
to the task. 1t was not easy to con-
vince a man who harbored a deep, ST.
lent contempt for women, that a wom-
an was worth listening to; but Mrs.
Hammond was successful. Before she
left his office, Mr.. Kruger had prom
ised to spare her husbands life. The
president of the Transvaal republic
kept his word to Natalie Hammond.
Her husbands sentence was commut-
ed to Imprisonment for 10 years and
later on, he was freed on payment of
q fine of S125,000, and Mrs. Hammond
had the extreme happiness of knowing
that through her intercession, not only
her husbands life but the lives of the
men arrested with him had been saved

BROWN RICE BETTER THAN
THE PoLISHED-ASk FOR 1T

Rice as sold by our grocers is
a pretty grain with a smooth
and shiny surface, attractive to
the eye, but lacks the palatable-
ness that makes foods popular.
This rice has been so highly
milled that it has been robbed
of much of its food value and
of most of it's oily flavoring mat
ter, leaving a product known
to the trade as polished rice,
which to many persons is taste
less. If the American housewife
could be induced to demand
brown rice instead of taking the
polished product, there would be
a marked increased sconsump-
ton of this cereal in a very
short time, due in part If not
entirely to the pleasing flavor
of the kernel.

If Consumption Could Be In

duction Would Release Grain

Here in the United States 1t is diff

pendent for food. than rice. We might
advantageously much greater
quantities of this nutritious food and
grow the increase in u own rice
fields, according to the 1918 crOp-pro-
duction program recently announced
by the United States department of
agriculture. An increased production
and consumption not only would ex-
pand a profitable industry, the federal
specialists declare, but the eating Of
more rice in the place of wheat would
release a greater quantity of the bread

Per Capita Consumption.

The average per capita consumption
of rice for food in this country is
scarcely six pounds a year, and most
of this is consumed in the Southern
states. The high esteem in which rice
is held in other countries is indicated
by their per capita consumption. Nor
way and Sweden over 8
pounds per capita; Russia over IL
pounds; England, 81 pounds; France,
"a pounds; Italy. owe 101 pounds, and
Germany more than SO pounds. But
ever these European countries do not
begin to eat as much rice as Japan
and China. There rice is the most i'm
portant article of diet. Each man,
woman and child in Japan, on the av-
erage, consumes 147 pounds of rice
each year, and those in China, 158
pounds. The placing of such depend
ence upon rice as a staple food GER
tainly proves beyond a doubt that it is
highly nutritious analysis of rice sup
ports this proof. Pound for pound rice
is about as nutritious as wheat. Every
100 pounds of cleaned rice contains
ST. pounds of nutrlment, of which S
pounds are protein, 0.3 pounds fat, 79
pounds carbohydrates, and 0.4 pound
ash. The analysis of wheat flour shows
that it contains ST. pounds of nutri'
ment in each 100 pounds, of which los
pounds are protein, IL pounds fat, 74.e
pounds carbohydrates, and 0.4 pound
ash. Thus the total nutriment in rice
is a trife greater than in wheat
Wheat has the advantage in protein
and rice in carbohydrates.
Foodstuf for Orient.
Although rice is the great foodstuf
of the Orient, it is not used there il
