SIMPLE TO

Plenty Of Good Milk to Take Away
Dryness Makes Dish Most

Mush and milk for breakfast or
lunch makes simple dish At for a
king-but like all other simple dishes
It must be made just right or the king
won't like it. The secret Of serving
cornmeal this way lies in plenty of
milk and not too much mush. In the
first place see that the mush is not
too thick-try out your recipes until
you find the knack Of cooking 1t just
long enough. No one enjoys dry, thick
mush. Then serve moderate portions
with generous amount Of milk or
cream on top-and have plenty more
in the pitcher to add later on. Raisins, i
dates. figs and other dried fruits give,
variety to the dish and please the chill
dren. They sweeten the mush and
save sugar.
The most common way Of prepar-
ing mush Is to allow the water to
come to the boiling point and to add
the meal slowly, stirring constantly.
The objection to this method Is that
there is considerable danger that the
mush will become lumpy and often
times it is inconvenient and unpleas-
ant to stand over a hot stove and stir
the mixture sufficiently to make It
smooth. A better method, therefore,
u the following:
Put the cornmeal, cold water and
salt together in the top Of a double
boiler. No stirring is necessary. Put
the top Of the double boiler into the
lower part and allow the mush to
heat slowly, cooking half an hour, or
longer, II convenient. Many people
cook It as long as four hours. Just
before serving remove the top Of the
double boiler from the lower part and
boil the mush for two or three min
utes. In boiling it at this time there
Is no danger that 1t will lump.

HOW VICTORY WILL BE WON
Ounce of Strength Into Righteous
Cause Will Bring Triumph.

Suppose we send 10000 bombing air
planes over Germany. They alone will
not win the war. Ten thousand or
fifty thousand tanks alone will not win
the war. A thousand land battleshipS
or thousand other fearful land cruiS-
erS alone will not win the war. Rain
ing death and destruction upon the
civil population as rule has only one
result: 1t inflames the people to
greater deeds, to greater sacrifices, to
greater hate, to greater determination
to win the war. France, England and
any one invention Is not likely to win
the war. Some day, perhaps, someone
will invent an atomic ray which Is
capable of pulverizing whole regiments
at stroke. Nothing of this sort is
impossible. But it is not very prob
able. Rather it is the whole-hearted
devotion of the noncOmbatants TO a
great and just cause that will win the
war. The nation that can throw into
the scales the greatest amount of war
implements, the heaviest weight of
metal, the greatest amount of fighters.
coupled with a prodigious use of all Of
the best war inventions, will win in
the end-providing that every man and
woman behind the lines constantly
thinks and dreams of war and victory
and is prepared to put every last ounce
of strength as we'll as all worldly be-
longings into the righteous cause with
out stint or restraint. The greatest
war invention is the fiery, undying will
to win.-Electrical EXperimenter.

stripe binding about the edge Of Its
brim. A closer inspection proved
again how very effective absurdly sim
pie things can be. Mercerized cotton
did it. Chinese blue, orange, purple,
green and black were used this way:
A simple over-and-over stitch made
the binding, solid two inches of the
circumference done in the blue, the
next in purple, then green, then black;
and so on all the way round the hat.
A pretty variation of this form of trim
ming would be to use blanket stitch
instead Of the simpler over-an-over.
Then straight strands of the cotton
might be wrapped round and round
the crown to simulate a band.

Old Enulish Furniture.

That fine old furniture Is yet found

Is said to be largely due to the stir.
ring up of the country that was given
by the great exhibition at London of
1851. This was soon after the devel-
opment of the railway system in Eng
land, and there flocked to London, a
large number of squires and their
wives. A new world had opened to
the country danes. The new things
had wonderful fascination for them.
On returning home they got rid of
much of their old furniture and
bought new. Much of the old furni-
ture found its way to secondhand
shops, and was sold to poor folk. who
could not afford to buy new. This ac-
counts for the finding today of much
good old furniture in small houses in
provincial towns and among country

depended upon. There Is no efficient
automatic system of ventilating sheep
buildings, though some of the wind
battles" which have been devised for
poultry houses might be adapted.
WeII-Drained Floors.
Level and well-drained clay-surfaced
floors are satisfactory and economical.
Sheep pack the surface very firmly,
and If there is proper drainage the
only objection to this floor is that it
does not exclude rats. Concrete floors
for alleys and feed rooms are neces-
sary, but will seldom be called for in
the pens.
Arrangement Of Building.
The main features to be provided in
the floor plan are minimum of waste
space, convenience and ease in feeding
and in cleaning the pens, and elimina-
tion of the need of moving or disturb
ing the sheep. Pen partitions should
be movable. By using feed racks to
make divisions in the pen space the
size of the pens can be varied as
needed, and in special cases the racks
can be removed to permit the use Of
the space for other stock.
Locating Sheep Buildings.
The site for permanent buildings for
sheep should first of all be dry and
well drained. Ample yard space that
is dry and sheltered should Ne avail
able adjacent to the main T. >,c shed.
A southern slope with sanuy soil is
especially satisfactory for this purpose.
On most farms it will be advantage
GUS to have the buildings and yards
easily reached from the regular pas
lures or from fields used to grow for
age crops for summer pasture. AS the
flock requires attention many times
daily during part of the year, con-
venience Of location in relation to the
farm dwelling and to other buildings
will effect an economy of time in the
performance of routine labor.

Feed Cows Leoume Hay.

IN cooperation with the extension
department of Purdue university the
United States department of agricul-
ture last year made an investigation
Of the cost Of producing milk in 16
dairy herds in Porter county, Ind. In
that study it was found that when
other conditions were the same the
dairymen who fed the largest quantity
of clover, alfalfa, and other legume
hays used 38 per cent less grain with
out lessening the production of their
cows. That is, the dairymen who fed
legume hay obtained as much milk
from 60 pounds of grain as the others
obtained from 100 pounds Of grain.
Such a saving is certainly worth
while. Patriotism demands increased
production; the high cost of living de-
mands economical production; both
those demands are met when all our
good cows are kept, and when their
milk flow is maintained at low cost.

yearly letters had always assumed too
much for granted. Mark had practi-
cally relinQuiShed Eleanor to the Ma
ior, and he had never learned anything
about her that he had really wanted to
know. He had not imagined the pre-
cocious, high-strung, idealistic girl
whom he now saw. He knew that the
disclosure of her fathers diShOnOr, ii
ever it came about, would shock her
into a revulsion of feeling that would
be fatal to the true development of
her character.
He had often wished that he had not
pressed that idea of the regimental
mascot upon the major. 1t had been
born in mind attuned to the victory
of tat bloody day; in normal mo-
ments he would never have enter
tanned it. Yet Major Howard had
been more impressed than he had ad-
mitted to Mark. The idea had
spread through the minds of the other
officers. There was never Guard din
ner but Eleanor was solemnly toasted
though she was not permitted to be
present, and somehow the child had
become q symbol in the minds of these
plain men in business and professional
life who spent two weeks In camp
each year.
After the war Mark had gone to the
regulars; but he was still in touch
with the officers of the Seventieth, and
he knew that, if ever war came, he
could obtain an appointment to it.
81 am sure that my father will prove
to have been brave soldier said
Eleanor, clasping her hands eagerly.
"And sometimes" she continued, Il
think that there must have been
great mystery about him."
''Why?" demanded Mark, startled.
Because of the man who watches
for me-"
Watches for you? 1t is imagina-
ton, Eleanor"
She shook her head. "Tve seen him
three or four times" answered the
girl. HE waits at places that we pass
when we 60 out together. And he
watches me then, though he never at
tempts to speak to me-"
"And you've told Miss Harper?'

shrewdly.
Mark could see that, but he was
certain that it was hysteria, that the
idea had come to the child as the re-
suit of brooding over the mystery Of
her parentage. The entrance of the
lady principal put an end to their con-
versation. Mark rose reluctantly. His
visit had been all too brief, and it
might be years before he saw the girl
again.
'Wel, Eleanor, this is au revoir,"
he said. Perhaps for years."
She looked at him in sudden alarm.
You are not coming back before you
leave for the West, Uncle Mark?" she
asked.
'They won't allow me the time. I
have to go to Washington tomorrow,
and then back to Texas"
She returned no answer, but went
with him to the house door, and turned
and faced him there, pulling at the
lapels of his coat.
"Send me new photograph, Cap
tain Mark she said. I'm not going
to call you Uncle Mark any more"

ing, though he had a strange sinking

CHAPTER w,

And the years passed, and Mark
Wallace grew grayer and older, and
more set and dispirited, with long al.
ternating intervals Of resignation,
when he took life as he found it and
was satisfied. But he always came
out of these into brief periods of un-
rest, with the sense that he had awak-
ened from some lethargy that was
damning his soul as the alkali and the
winds of the plains had scanned his
face and taken the last particle of his
youth away.
Now in Texas, now in Arizona, now
in some lonely border post in the
freezing Northwest. he remained a cap
tain. He had no friends in Washing
ton. In time-in long time he would
reach his majority, no doubt, to be re-
lieved soon after, and waddle, with
stout old majors of his own age, into
ornate clubs in army centers not quite
so far removed from civilization. He
looked upon this prospect with ironical
patience, and now and then asked
himself the unanswerable question
why he had remained in the army.
Eleanor was grown up and domiciled
permanently in Colonel Howard's town
house, and her letters had grown more
infrequent and perfunctory, until their
arrival became quarterly affair in
stead of a monthly event, and not al
ways that, either.
And by and by the feeling came
over Mark that if ever he We're to see
her again there would remain no COM
mon link between them. From doubt
ing his future he had come to doubt
himself. He doubted whether the des-
ert life had not blunted him. blunted
his finer instincts, and made him unfit
for social life-certainly rendered him
unfit for the guardianship of young
girl.
But that he had relinquished to Col
onel Howard -grudgingly but uncom-
promisingly. Never in any of his let
ters did he put forward the shadow
of his former claim.
Then, swiftly, and Unexpectedly,
chance turned and beckoned him.

at his heart This child epitomized
home to him, and he had been home
less since boyhood.
You must forgive me-" she said, a
little wistfully. Captain Mark,
there's something l want awfully to
say to you, but it takes lot of cour-
age" she added.
Tell me just the same" answered
Mark. You know, my dear, I want
you to have everything you wish for.
And if Major Howard won't give it to
you, you just let me know. He has as
sumed the responsibility for your up
bringing, and I'm going to have the
fun of giving you pleasure"
Its something that Major Howard
can't give me, Captain Mark"
Can II"
Yes" she said in low voice, pull
ing at his coat, and suddenly raising
her eyes to his. Mark Wallace saw the
soul of mature woman look out of
the eyes of the child. "When I'm old
er and have put my hair up, and wear
long dresSeS-When I'm eighteen, say,
II want you to marry me, Captain
Mark"
She was gone in flash, running
along the corridor, while Mark Wal
lace stood dumfounded at the door,
hearing her footsteps grow fainter as
she hurried into the receSses Of the
Misses Harpers' School for Select
Young Ladies.
Mark went down the walk like q
man dreaming. 1t was absurd it was,
perhaps, characteristic of the girls age
and temperament; and yet, in spite of
the absurdity, Captain Mark Wallace
felt as if he mad suddenly regained
the grimy little child whom he had
found upon the hillside in front of
Santiago, and lost again.

Borind Pole Holes

The tiresome and time consuming
work of digging holes for telegraph
and electric service poles is now at an
end, says Scientific American. At least,
there has been evolved Il gasoline
driven earth-boring machine which
makes an average boring time per hole
Of one and One-half to two minutes
The equipment is mounted on a horse
drawn truck and is operated by two
men. In ordinary soil it maintains an
average of 100 holes per day, each
measuring five feet deep by "a inches
in diameter. The equipment consists
of truck, which carries a gasoline en-
Gine. driving mechanism and huge
auger which is slowly rotated and fed
downward. The augerS are furnished
in sizes from to a inches.

In the matter of wearing mourning
for relatives who have given their lives
for their country there are two opin-
ions. One is that it is inadvisable to
wear black because it depresses other
people. We must not ask others to
mourn with US, or even remind them
of mourning. The other is that a
proper respect for the dead almost
compels a period Of mourning apparel.
1t is a matter which each one must
think out for herself. The Red Cross
has adopted substitute for the usual
mourning and the last bulletin of the
central division has this to say:
"The American Red Cross will pro
vide the mourning brassards to be
worn by relatives of men who have
given their lives to their country, ac-
cording to an announcement made by
the war council. These brassards,
which are to be used in lieu Of gen.
eral mourning, were suggested and de-
signed by the woman's committee of
the council of national defense, the
idea being heartily indorsed by Presi-
dent Wilson in letter he sent to the
woman's committee. They will be fur
nished free TO the parents or widows of
men who have died in the service and
at cost to other members Of the fam
lily.
'The brassard, which is to be worn
on the left sleeve, mioway between ell
bow and shoulder, is band of black
broadcloth or other material three
inches wide on the surface Of which
the regulation military star is en-
broidered in gold thread. The num-
ber Of stars on q brassard will denote
the extent of the sacrifice made by
each family.
'The brassards will be made and
distributed by the chapters of the Red
Cross working in conjunction with To-
cal units of the woman's committee of
the council of national defense. An
initial supply of materials for the
manufacture of the mourning emblems
has been purchased by the Red Cross
and will be forwarded to the IA divi-
sions of the organization for distribu-
ton through their chapters. 1t is ex-
pected that the first Of the brassards
will be ready for distribution about
the middle Of September. A brief
statement accompanying the announce
ment says:

chemise Dress.

The chemise dress, If present indt
cations count for anything, has come
to stay. These new ones for winter
hang in severely straight lines from
shoulder to hem, and they do not show
the additional underskirt with which
they were provided last season. Some
of them are plated in fine accordion
plaits and others are provided with
extra applied and floating panels at
the sides of the skirts. AS for the
belts, they are mostly made of very
thin strips of the material from which
the gown is constructed, and they ara
tied loosely to confine the gown in
some semblance of waistline.

TricoIette Embroidered.

Tricolette is especially good when it
is heavily embroidered, and some of
the frocks of this fabric show no
ornamentation save embroidery. One,
with a draped skirt, long tight sleeves
that fit snugly about the wrists, and
bodice with scant fullness, has very
wide girdle heavily embroidered with
woolen threads in a slightly darker
shade of gray than that Of the tricol-
ette. Others show embroidered panels
and bits Of embroidery on waist and
sleeveS.
