Peppers and Celery In Brine.

Green peppers and celery can be
preserved for future use by brining.
II properly done peppers SO prepared
can be used as substitute for fresh
peppers In pickles or salads. or after
freshening in water can be used for
stuffed pepper. Properly prepared
they can hardly be told from fresh
peppers. The method Of brining Is as
follows:
Remove the stems and seed and
pack nose down into a water-tight,
non-metallic receptacle, such as keg,
barrel, crock or glass fruit Jar. Cover
with brine made by adding two
pounds of salt to each gallon Of water.
If key, barrel or crock is used, sus.
pend wooden cover In the brine so
that 1t will keep the peppers well below
the surface. If the cover Is placed on
the peppers and weighted without sus-
pension, 1t will crush the peppers and
make them lose their shape. Add
more salt to the cover until no more
will dissolve. If put in fruit Jars or
other containers that can be sealed. no
more salt need be added. In this case,
allow to stand for three or four days
to allow gas to escape, then I'LL per.
fectly full with brine and seal tight.
Kegs or barrels that have good head
can be filled full with peppers and
brine and headed up. Fresh peppers
can be added from time to time as
they mature. Before use, freshen In
water to remove salt and then use like
fresh peppers.
Celery can be preserved In the same
manner, and after freshening is ex.
cellent for soups, creamed celery and
for flaYoring PURPOSES.

Increase hal Corn EIour.

It is estimated that during the last
Is months the output Of corn flour has
Increased 500 per cent. There is now
enough cornmeal being turned out to
care for all demands in the United
States. The remarkable increase in
output, which is certain to become
greater each succeeding month, is due
in considerable part to the conversion
of much wheat-milling machinery into
corn-milling machinery.

Two Simple Methods Of Making
and Classifying Records Of
Expenditures.
Use ORDINARY BLANK BOOK
Details Encourage Economy and Show
Relation OF Home EXPENSE to
Farm Business Ten Divi-
sions Satisfactory.

The modern farmers wife Is no
longer satisfied with the old accepted
idea that "the farm gives us a liy-
ing,"; but she gets out her pencil and
paper and asks "How much Of a lIv-
ing does 1t give us"
Generations ago neither the farm
nor the farm household had any but
minor dealings with the outside world.
Under such conditions the need for
accounts was slight. But. those con-
ditions no longer exist. The farm
household, though still in many cases
receiving its major support in farm
products consumed ut home, purchases
FAR more extensively than ever be-
fore from outside sources. Farm house
h0ld accounts have become essential
to economy.
!. Household expenses on the farm are
very Intimately associated with the
business Of the farm itself. The farm
normally supplies much material
which otherwise would become a
household expense, The household, In
turn. very often furnishes board for
farm labor, which would otherwise be
. farm expense. Merely from the
standpoint Of keeping track Of house
hold expenses as related to the farm
business, household accounts are de
sirable and should serve to supplement
and round out farm accounts.
Ways Of Keeping Records.
There are two methods Of keeping
q record Of household expenditures.
One is to record the purchases or
money paid out without classifying
the expenditures. The other is to clas-
Aify when the record is made.
The first method is very simple, re
quires no special form, and gives all
necessary information regarding ex-
penditures. At the end Of the, month
or at the end Of the year the total
expenditures readily may be deter
mined. In order, however, to know
the totals for each kind or class 1t will
be necessary to make up monthly
summary, in which the items will be
distributed in different columns, by
eansses. This extra work at the end of
each month Cor at the end of the year)
may cause encouragement and neglect
OF classification, with the result that
the greatest good that could be derived
from the records is not realized.
Under the second method, in addi-
tion to being entered all together in
one column, the items are classified in
separate columns. This method has
the same advantages as the first meth
Cd and the additional advantage Of al
lowing for the distribution Of the items
Of expenditure to the proper classes
without the inconvenience Of turning
to some other page. The distribution
may be left to moments of leisure if
the farmer is busy at the time the
entry is made. When the page is
filed the next page is begun, the top
line next to the heading being reserved
for the total carried forward from
preceding page. The items may be
t0taled at the end of the month and
these totals carried to the summary
page at the end of the book.

for such futile vanities.
1t is estimated that a million men
and women throughout the country are
giving to the Turkish, baths an aver
age of dollar day. Thus we have
a total Of $685., 100000 year. To this
we can add perhaps half as much for
massage. attendant fees, special treat
ment and incidentals.
Bathing is commended, but most of
US, at least those who have the Turk
lsh bath habit, can take our ablutions
at home. The soldiers in Europe don't
have Turkish baths. We imagine we
need them here. We eat big dinners
and fill ourselves with rheumatic de-
posits, poison ourselves by gormandiz-
ing. We contract colds because our
systems are too badly clogged to throw
off the germs. It Is when we are stuff
fed with rich viands and all sorts Of
luxuries that we turn to the Turkish
bath for relief. Why not discipline
ourselves during the war and transfer
all these millions Of dollars into the
fund that is going to beat autocracy
and the German peril?
I have touched on merely few Of
the items Of unnecessary outgo. The
list might be extended indefinitely. But
there ought to be enough here to set US
thinking, and we can make the ex.
tensions ourselves. There is no use
denying the fact that the people have
not yet put themselves on war basis
financially. We are still wasting mil
lions on trifles. The war would be
over now If we had taken ourselves In
hand at the beginning.

And Black Humbert bided his time.
On the day Of the excursion to the
fortress old Adelbert decided to appeal
to his fellow ledger. Herman Spier.
Now and then, when he was affluept,
he had paid small tribute to Herman
by mean Of the camp cookery on
which he prided himself.
"a soldiers mess !" he would say,
md bring In a bowl of soup, or a slice
Of deer meat, broiled over hot Goals
In his tiny store. Eat it, man. These
restaurants know nothing of food"
Herman could not help him. But
he eyed the old soldier appraisingly.
He guessed shrewdly the growing I'M
easiness behind Adelbe-t's brave front.
If now one could enlist such q man
for the cause, that would be worth
doing. Among the veterans the old
a was influential, and by this new
policy of substituting fresh blood for
stale, the government had made many
enemies among them.
The old man bitterness had been
increased by two things. First, al
though he had Teen dismissed without
notice, in the middle Of the week, he
had been paid o1ly up to the hour Of
leaving. That uas a grievance. Sec
Ond, being slow on his feet, one Of
the royal motor cars had almost run
him down, and the police had cursed
him roundly for being in the way.
At last he determined to find
.Haeckel, the student. He did not
know his Christian name, nor where
he lodged. But he knew the corps he
belonged to, by his small gray cap
Hith a red band.
He was very nervous when he made
this final effort. Corps houses were
curious places he had heard, and full
of secrets. Even the great professors
from the university might not enter
without invitation. And his experience
had been that stud ants paid.small re-
spect to uniforms o: to age. In truth,
he passed the but ding twice before
he could summon courage to touch the
great brass knOckec. And the arro-
gance Of its clamor, when at last he
raped, startled him again. But here
at least he need not have feared.

1t was well for the countess that the
colonel was talking to Hedwig. Well
for her, too, that the other officers
we're standing behind with their eyes
worshipfully on the princess. The
countess turned gray white.
"Don't worry, %highness," she said,
with stiff lips. "The watch falls back
sometimes. / must have 1t repaired"
But long after the tour Of the RAM
parts was over, after ammunition
rooms had been visited, with their long
lines Of waiting shells, after the
switchboard which controlled the river
mines had been inspected and ex.

Prince Ferdinand William Otto,

Haeckel, of this corps" said old Adel-
bert stoutly.
"Haeckel?" repeated the doorkeeper.
II tlink-come In, comrade. I will
inquire"
For the name Of Haeckel was, just
then, one %curiously significant.
He disappeared, and old Adelbert
waited. When the doOrkeeper re-
turned, it was to tell him to follow
him, and to lead the way downstairs.
Two or three students came toward
him at once. "You are seeking
Haeckel?"' one Of them asked.

Lately, however, 1 have thoughts he

here to find him."
They had hoped to learn something
from him, and he knew nothing. "He
has disappeared" they told him. "He
is not at his lodging, and he has left
his classes. He went away suddenly,
leaving everything. That is all we
know"
It sounded sinister. Old Adelbert,
heavy hearted, turned away and
climbed again to the street. That gate
way was closed, too. And he felt a
pang Of uneasiness. What could have
