Sauerkraut Is in Season.

Attempts have been made to keep
popular the tasteful and popular dish
of sauerkraut by changing the name
to Liberty cabbage. But if the rose
will smell as sweet by any other name,
so will sauerkraut taste as good to
many people whether its name be
changed or not.
The essential points to make
good kraut are the use of mature
sound cabbage, scrupulous cleanliness
throughout the process, and proper
care of the surface of the brine after
fermentation is completed.
In making sauerkraut for home pur'
poses the outer green leaves of the
cabbage should be removed just as
in preparing the head for boiling. In
addition, all decayed or bruised leaves
should be discarded and the core re-
moved. If an instrument for this pur-
pose is not available, 1t is advisable
to quarter the heads and slice off the
part of the core remaining on each
quarter The cabbage should be
shredded by one of the hand-shredGing
machines sold upon the market for
such purposes, or, If one is not avail
able, the heads may be cut into thin
slices with a slaw cutter or a large
knife.
The shredded cabbage should be'
packed Immediately into n perfectly
clean, water-tight receptacle, such as
cider or wine barrel, keg, or tub. As
1t is packed into the receptacle add
salt in the proportion of one pound of
salt to forty pounds of cabbage, dis
tributing it evenly throughout the cab
bage. Experiments have shown that
approximately two and one-half
pounds of salt to each one hundred
pounds of shredded cabbage give the
best flavor to the resulting kraut
When the barrel or crock is nearly
full, the cabbage should be pressed
down as firmly rs possible and Gov
cred with a clean board cover. 1t is
advisable, but not essential, that clean
cloth be placed over the cabbage he
fore the cover is put into place. TIL
salt soon extracts considerable
amount of the cabbage juice from the
cabbage, and a sufficient weight Of
clean brick or stone should be added
to cause the brine to rise up to the
wooden cover. Set the container aside
until fermentation is complete and
skim Off any scum that forms.
To prevent your little girls stock
ings tearing with the suspenders,
make an eyelet hole at the top of the
stocking. worked strongly round. You
can then pass the suspender through
the hole.

White Buzzards.

A page from Captain Dampier's
"First Voyage to the Bay of Cam.
peachy" published in 1923, tells of
white buzzards. A native of any of the
southern states will vouch for the fact
that white buzzard in those parts
would be regarded as something of an
absurdity, but says the veracious old
sea captain: ''Some of the carrion
crows are all over white but their feath-
ers look as if they We're sullied. !.
'Tis seldom that we see great number
of black ones but that we see one white
one among them"

Flowers on Mountain Tops.

1t is known thateupon many of the
submits of the high mountain ridges
of the Hawaiian islands, in the re-
gions of heavy rainfall, are open bogs
which support peculiar and interest
ing flora. Many species form more or
less hemispherical tussocks which rise
above the general level of the bog. A
Snowy lobelia with numerous large
cream-colored flowers as much as
three and u half inckes long, peculiar
violets and n sundew are found there.

Housewives Are Urged to Prac-
tice Economy in Arranging
Meals for Family.
COOK ENTIRE MEAL IN OVEN
Compartment Vessel Which Enables
One to Cook Two or Three Vege-
tables Over One Burner Is
Worthy of Attention.

1t is just as much a patriotic serv-
Ice for you to save fuel as to save
food War activities call for great
quantities of fuel in addition to the
usual demand. To make this supply
available every American must save.
A little thought in the planning of
your meals, with the saving of fuel in
view, will make it possible to save an
appreciable amount each day.
Utilizing the Flame.
For the woman who cooks with gas
or liquid fuel, many economies are
practicable. The purchase of q COM
partment vessel which enables one to
cook two or three vegetables over one
burner Is worthwhile economy
since the gas from one burner cooks
the food ordinarily requiring three
burners. Or if you have colander
or wire basket that fts over an or
dinary kettle you can steam such vege-
tables as squash, peas or carrots over
the kettle in which the potatoes are
boiling.
Remember that when the flame
spreads up around the side of the
vessel you waste gas. Turn down the
flame after the boiling point is reached
for the potatoes will not cook any
more quickly in water that is boiling
fast than in water that is boiling
slowly.
The greatest amount of gas wasted,
however, is by the indiscriminate use
of the oven. Too often the oven is
lighted to bake a single dish when by
a little careful planning the whole
dinner can be baked by the heat ex-
pended upon one dish.
Three FueI-Savire Dinners.
Here are three dinners planned to
utilize the heat of the oven to the
best advantage, all the hot dishes of
which may be baked at the same time.
Peppers stuffed with Rice and Cheese.
Baked Potatoes. Baked Onions.
Corn Dodgers. Butter.
Sliced Tomatoes.
Baked Cocoanut Custard
u.
Roast Beef with Drowned Potatoes and
Gravy.
Baked Whole Tomatoes.
Fresh Celery.
Bran Biscuit. Butter.
Apple Betty.
Ill.
Smothered Veal
Glazed Sweet Potatoes.
Baked Corn. Pickles.
Bread Butter.
Sliced Fresh Peaches or Baked Drisd
Peaches.
Oatmeal Drop Cookies.
1t may not always be convenient to
have such baked dinner. but If you
do light the oven to bake cake or even
quick bread, Think ahead far enough
to have some sort of fruit or pudding
ready to put in the oven for use at
later meal. If such care is used 1t
may prove better economy to make
frequent use of the oven.
Save Time as Well as Fuel.
Another way to save fuel is the use
Of the fireless cooker for meat, cereals,
and some vegetables. The main point
I'm the conservation of fuel in cooking
is planning ahead how to make the
best use of the smallest amount of
fuel. A meal cooked with the aid of
hreless cooker must be planned ahead,
Tor time is required for this type of

HDiseased Meat0

There is wide difference in the
terms diseased meat" and .'meat from
diseased animals" In fresh pork for
instance, the absence of live trichinae
cannot be guaranteed by the vendor
from any known practical method Of
inspection, but if the meat is properly
cooked any trichinae present are killed
and hence cannot produce disease.

Most of the snakes used by show

kinds of reptiles are bred. This farm
consists of eight acres for snakes

raising rabbits, chickens, frogs and
other "snake feed"

MARVELS OF SURGERY IN WAR
Surgeons With Allies Fighters Repair
Seemingly Hopeless Cases Of
Shattered Bone.

The marvels of surgery which have
resulted from the stimulus OF war
work have COMPOUNDED the prophets.
News of the bravery of our fighting
men Is not more inspiring than the
accounts which come In constantly Of
the achievements of the scientists of
the entente in the field of surgery
and medicine, says Portland Oregonian.
There landed In an eastern port the
other day Canadian soldier who Is
only one of the thousands who can
thank their stars that constructive sci
ence Is keeping pace with destructive
enterprise. He had been In the thick
of the fighting at YprTS in 1915, shrap-
mel had shattered the bones Of both
ankles and both wrists. For II long
time he lay in "A London hospital, be-
lievlng that his case was hopeless and
that he would be II cripple for life.
Then came surgeons who undertook
the delicate task of literally Setting
him on his feet" Eventually he
emerged two inches or so shorter
than when he enlisted, walking
straight, with agile step, and with full
command of his arms and hands.
In principle the repair Of this sol
der was not wholly new thing;
bone surgery had made material ad-
yances In the decade before the war
began. An interesting feature Of the
case, however Is that II was part of
the routine of n military hospital, that
the surgeons who performed the high
ly intricate operation and made com
plete restoration of II man who 20
years ago would have been doomed
TO life of hopeless helplessness makes
no claim to especial merit, and that
the whole accomplishment was treated
as matter of course. The soldier
is so far recovered that he expects
presently to return Joyfully to the fir
ing line; the surgeons turn without
more ado to the next case. which may
be seemingly quite as hopeless but
wholly different in matters of technic
and detail.

CHAPTER n.
The War Breaks.

After serving four years and three
months In the u. s. navy, i received
an honorable discharge on April IA,
1914. held the rank of chief petty
officer. first-class gunner. 1t is not
uncommon for garbies to lie around
while between enistments--they like
vacation as much as anyone-and 1T
was my intention to loaf for a few
months before joining the navy again.
After the war started, of course, L
had heard more or less about the Ger
man atrocities in Belgium, and while
/ was greatly interested, / was doubt
full at first as to the truth of the re-
ports, for l knew how news gets
changed in passing from mouth to
mouth and / never was much Of a
hand to believe things until l saw
them, anyway. Another thing that
caused me to be interested In the war
was the fact that my mother was born
in Alsace. Her maiden name, DER
vieuX, Is well known In Alsace. i had
often visited my grandmother In ST.
Nazare, France, and knew the cOun-
try. So with France at war, ii was
not strange that / should be even
more Interested than many other
garbies.
As have said, ! did not take much
stock In the first reports of the Huns
exhibition OF kultur, because Fritz Is
known as clean sailor, and figured
that no real sailor would ever get
mixed up In such dirty work as they
said there was in Belgium. l figured
the soldiers were like the sailors. But
j found out | was wrong about both.
One thing that opened my eyes a
| bit was the trouble my mother had In
getting out OF Hanover, where she
was when the war started, and back
to France. She always wore little
American flag and this both saved and
