and SHE WONDERED
Mrs. BiIItops Really Doubtee
Scales Accuracy.
Seemed a Singular Thing Until Ex.
PLANTATION Dawned on the Pair
Who Were Going through the
Regular Program.

1--WE keep" said Mr.. Billtops, 20
record Of Mrs. Billtop's weight. There
is drug store In our neighborhood
which we pass in our daily walks
where they have a nice beam scale,
and about once in ten days or two
weeks We stop IN there and weigh Mrs.
Billtops; and then, when we get
home, set the weight down In the
record.
The greatest difference between any
two weights taken so far this year is
two pounds; while the difference be-
tween the first weight and the one Just
taken Is only three-eighths of a pound.
So you can see her weight is running
very true.
ut might seem that all this was
rather a humdrum commonplace per-
formance TO go through, but really
there's a good deal of variety to II.
For instance, in winter, when she
is wearing heavy cloak, we weigh
Mrs. BilltOps with that cloak on. Thus
the first weight we get is the gross
weight, and then from that we have
to deduct the tare, this being the
weight of the cloak as previously as
certained at home, to arrive at the net,
which is what we set down in the rec
ord.
80 you see 1t is not all quite so
simple as 1t seems; and this spring,
when Mrs. Billtops put on for the first
time her lighter-weight spring coat,
we ran into regular incident.
after weighing her, as usual with
her coat on, we remembered that we
had forgotten to weigh this coat be-
fore starting out, but this was light
coat that could be easily removed and
handled, and so now Mrs. Billtops
removed her coat and we weighed her
with the coat off, But do you know,
she weighed precisely the same with
her coat off as she did with 1t on!
Mrs. Billtops and / looked at each
other in mild amazement; but then at
the same moment we both made the
same discovery. Still standing on the
scale Mrs. Billtops was holding the
coat she had just removed!
81 am not sure that Mrs. Billtops is
quite as much interested In all this
weighing business as 1 am, but we
both laughed at that; and really I
should say that taking everything to-
gether we get let of fun out of weigh
ing Mrs. Billtops. York Times.

Worlds Aluminium Supply.

Though Switzerland led the world In
the early electrolytic production of
aluminium, France has been the chief
producing nation since 1896, and sup
piled as much as 39.2 per cent OF the
worlds annual total at the time Of the
outbreak OF the war. The 10 plants
for electrolytic aluminium had ID 1914
an aggregate of 100000 horsepower
with a capacity Of 10000 tons a year.
The three plants Of the United States
supplied 25.s per cent of the worlds
product; the two plants Of Switzer-
land, 1874; the two English plants, 7.s
the one Canadian plant, 50, and the
two plants Of Norway, 4.3. French
supremacy has been due to the supe-
rior quality Of the bauxite mined.

Hot, heavy foods and iced drinks
often play havoc with bad stomachs
In hot weather. The weak ones haven't
got a chance. A quickly chilled or
overworked stomach is a starter of
untold misery for its owner.
When you have that dull, depressed
feeling after eating-stomaCh pains,
bowel disorders, heartburn or nausea,
belching, food repeating-it is the dam
ger point. You want to look out-and
be quick about 1t in this hot weather.
A way has been discovered to make
sick stomachs well and to keep them
cool and sweet. 1t is q commonsense
way. No starvation plan Of diet is
needed. Make this test and see how
quickly you get good appetite In
hot weather and enjoy the things you
like without misery to follow.

City Boys Keener of Ear
Than Are Country Fellows

English army doctors, finding city
boys keener of ear than country boys,
adopt the theory that the quietude of
rural districts explains the difference,
says the New York World. Urban
noises, they argue, keep the aural
nerves in a state constantly respon-
sive. Looking across seas, these sa-
wants may discover that the keenest
human ear ever known, those of the
Indians and the frontiersmen, have
been developed in the silences of
American forests and prairies. 1t
seems probable that hearing, like
many another faculty, depends for its
active strength upon the exercise due
to necessity. 1t is need, rather than
noise, which keeps a listeners nerves
on the alert.

AMAZING TALE OF The AIR
Bristol Machine Disposes of Enemy,
Then Continues Flight With Both
Occupants Dead, Until Pc
troll Gives Out.

London.-An amazing flight of a
two occupants dead was briefly re-
ferred to in a dispatch from the fight
ing front the other day. Now fuller
details are supplied by a well-known
flying officer who has returned to Lon
don from Arras.
1.-THE incident referred to-" he said,
sis quite authentic and was a COM
mon topic of conversation a few days
ago. Of course, there is absolutely no
reason why a machine should not, un-
der average conditions, fly itself so
long as its petrol holds out. This is
not an exceptional incident of the
kind, and certainly there have been
cases where German machines have
been captured with their pilots dead.
The Known Facts.
$50 far as l know the facts are that
this Bristol fighter, which, of course,
is a two-seater with guns fore and
aft, took off about 80 p. m. The
wind conditions were almost negli-
gible, making it very good flying wealth
er. There was a great deal of mis-
cellaneous craft widely scattered over
"No Mans Land"
"The British airmen, at an estimated
altitude of $500 feet, when they would
be running at eighty miles or there
abouts, encountered a German alba
tross. They at once attacked. A lot
of maneuvering followed and three
other machines, two of them German,
came into action.
1.-THE Bristol machine hung on its
quarry and eventually got it well I'M
der the nose, the German crashing
down.
Immediately our machine gave a
sweep south. 1t had lost height in ma
neuvering and was rocking badly
as if out of control, but it kept stead
lily on until it was lost to view.
"At a little before four o'clock the
machine, which was, of course, cas-
lily identified, fell crashing to earth
nearly twenty miles to the west of
Arras. On examination both its occu-
pants were found to be dead, obvi-
ously from bullet wounds, which had
struck them from the back and which
must at once have proved fatal.
Petrol Tank Empty.
Their injuries on coming down GER
tainly did not cause their death. The
petrol tank of their machine was
found to be empty.
"9There is no doubt the two men were
shot Immediately the German alba
tross fell. The Bristol machine, which
is the best and most perfectly con-
trolled fighting machine known, of its
own volition swept On a fairly even
keel TO a distance of possibly ten
miles below the point where the bat
tie took place.
"Then, for some reason which never
will be known, the controls were shift
ed and a circle was made. In view of
the fact that the total distance covered
must have been much under 100 miles,
it appears certain the machine lost
speed and height gradually, possibly
due to some minor but not vital in
jury to the engine.
"For upward of two hours the two
dead men were in the air before the
final crash to EARTH"

Cherry Fritters.

Make a batter of a cupful and a half
of flour, barley or corn flour, mixed
with equal parts of wheat flour; sift
with two ~teaspoonfuls of baking pow
der, a half te%aspoonful of salt and one
half cupful of milk, one beaten egg.
At the last add a cupful of pitted cher
ries that have been covered with SUI
gar and allowed to stand for an hour.
Drop by %spoonfuls into hot fat, and
fry to a golden brown. Serve with a
sauce made from the cherry juice and
sugar.

Cherry Time.


Cherries, like other small fruits, may
be canned without cooking. Crush
the fruit well and mix with equal parts
Of sugar; stir until the sugar is
well dissolved before canning. Care
should be taken that the jars are
sterilized, and that they are perfectly
sealed; then keep in a cold place.
A few preserved cherries to use as a
garnish for various dishes are quite
an addition to the fruit closet. When
canning cherries, if a kernel or two
Of the pits are added to each jar, the
flavor of almond, which is most deli
cate, is given to the fruit.
The Royal Ann, which is a sweet,
juicy cherry, makes a most delicious
salad. Sprinkle the cherries, after
pitting them, with a little lemon juice
and sugar. Served in a fruit bowl,
garnished with cherry leaves, one has
a most refreshing breakfast dish.
A pretty garnish for cherry jelly or
other desserts is the fresh cherry left
in punches with the stems on, dipped
in powdered sugar. Arrange around
the Jelly or nodded dessert.
