WAR BREAD RECIPE

The following recipes for war bread
and pie crust have been tested by
Miss Mary Rausch, special lecturer in
the department OF home economics,
University OF Washington, and found
dependable:
Two cups Of milk and 21z cups of
water scalded and cooled. Two-thirds
cup of molasses or brown sugar, 4 tea
spoons OF salt. IN teaspoons soda. Q
or 8 tablespoons of shortening, l yeast
cake dissolved in enough water to
moisten, Q cups OF corn meal, scalded.
A little rolled oats scalded with the
corn meal is an improvement. Two
cups -four. Whole wheat or rye in
equal parts until OF the right thickness
for sr-sad. 1t is not stiff enough to
kneSF. After turning few minutes
in the mixer take out with a spoon in
the pans. This will make three loaves
and dozen biscuits.
Pie Crust one cup white -four, ! cup
graham flour, h to n cup shortening,
depending on richness required; ! tea
spoon salt, enough water to roll out.

ment Was Enabled to Join

/ want TO tell you about a fellow
here, writes Sergt. Lester s. Lowell Of
the headquarters company Of the One
Hundred and Third field artillery, in q
letter to his brother, from a hospital
In southern France, He is an Ameri-
can, but when the war got going he
went TO England and enlisted In
Scottish regiment. They probably knew
he was an American but they winkeo
and signed him up for three years. So
he put on kits and went to war. he
served three years and two months.
He was in the first gas attack (Ypres,
1879 and has also fought in Egypt and
Turkey. His regiment was in London
after his three years and two months
We're up. In the meantime America had
entered the war and there we're recruit
ing offices in London. This man ap-
piled to his regimental commander for
a discharge, but 1t was refused. One
day he was given a 24hour leave Of
absence. He went to the American re-
cruiting Office and said he wished to
Join the army. Mind you he was In full
uniform, kits and all. at the time. He
was shown In to a recruiting officer.
he showed the officer papers to prove
that he was born In Alabama.
"All right" said the officer. You're
an American citizen, and you want TO
enlistf"
Yes, SIR"
Ever had any previous military eI
periencef' said the oficer smiling. (No
wonder he smiled. The fellow was
wearing three wound stripes at the
time.)

The officer sent him to a major with
a note. saying please hear this mans
story and take whatever action you
think best"
The major read II. and then read the
answer to the questions as they were
written out on the paper. "'What's
this-'no previous servicef'"
mo, sir"
The major looked at the plaid Of the
kilt and laughed. He probably knew
the fellows regiment was right In town
at the time.
Sure you're not e~nllsted?"
Yes, sir" says the fellow. Il never
was a soldier in my life"
The major laughed again and said
"All right, just stick TO that and it will
get you by. Sign here"
The fellow signed. Now" said the
major, II suppose you want TO leave

"Yes, sir"
So they gave him a Yankee uniform

A FEW years ago, in spite of thesut- Almost vigilance in scrubbing and cleaning, almost every household in city, village and farm had a sick record which would make a. modern family gasp. In those days everybody was sick.

 Household Disinfectants.
 Until the discovery and general availability of formaldehyde, sanitary cleaning was a laborious process and not one family in hundred disinfect- ed their premises regularly, and very few knew how to do it properly.
 The use of formaldehyde for treat ing smut diseases in grain and pota- toes has, in the past few years, become almost universal, but it should be used in cleaning house to a far greater ex- tent.
 Disagreeable odors may be removed in cupboards, refrigerators, sinks, etc., with two pints of formaldehyde di- luted in five gallons of water. Follow ing attacks of contagious diseases, sheets, pillow slips, quilts, blankets, floors or other surfaces soiled by the sputum of tuberculosis patients, or supposed to be contaminated with the germs of other contagious diseases, should be thoroughly treated by scrub ping and soaking in a solution of one pint of formaldehyde in about two gall Ions of water. Larger amounts, of course, in proportion.,

CHARLES WARREN FAIRBANKS,

Charles Warren Fairbanks, former vice-president of the United States, was born on a farm near Unionville Center, Ohio, sixty-six years ago to- day. He is a descendant eight gen. erations removed, of Jonathan Fair banks, who founded the town of Ded- ham, Mass, about three centuries ago. His English ancestors were sturdy yeomanry, and some of them had been follower of Cromwell The father of MT. Fairbanks was a native of Vermont, but as a young man he plunged into the western wilderness and settled on a farm in Ohio. The future vice-president was reared on this farm and educated in the coun- try scools and at Ohio Wesleyan Uni versity, from which he graduated at the age of twenty. He was the editor of the college paper, and his associ- ate editor was Miss CoreIia Cole, a. student of the woman's college. A romance developed from this jour nalistic association, and in 1874, shortly after MT. Fairbanks was ad- mftted to the Ohio Bar, Miss Cole be- came Mrs. Fairbanks. While studying law MT. Fairbanks had worked as a reporter for the Associated Press-in P1ttsburg and Cleveland, but he abandoned journalism upon taking up the legal profession. He opened law office in Indianapolis, and he was successful from the start. He did not become active in politics un- til 1888, when he managed Judge Gresham's campaign for the Repub- lican presidential nomination. He was one of the pioneer Mckinley men. In 1897 he entered the United States Senate and held his seat until elect ed vice-president in 1904.

liquid will not spatter or boil over on the floor. l
 Generate Gas With Permangnate.
 The gas is generated by pouring the liquid formaldehyde upon the per- manganate of potash, the amount de- pending upon the size of the room. Any druggist can tell you how to use it. The temperature of the room should not be below 50 degrees; 30 de- grees is better. Moisten the air in the room by sprinkling the floor or place a kettle of boiling water in the room to create a moist atmosphere. It is good idea to wiring out sheet in hot water and hang it across the room so that the evaporation may moisten the air. Spread the permanganate evenly over the dish and quickly pour in the for maldehyde GAO per cent strength) and hurry out of the room, tightly closing the door after you. Allow the room to remain closed rpm four to six hours, then air thoroughly.
 For typhoid fever, diphtheria, scar let fever, smallpox measles, grippe, dysenteEy or cholera, use 71z ounces Of permanganate and one pint of for maldehyde to each 1000 cubic feet of space.
 For tuberculosis use il ounces pez- manganate and 11s pints of formalde- hyde to each 1000 cubic feet
 Formaldehyde may also be used for killing flies by putting milk or sweet ened water on a plate in which about 10 per cent of formaldehyde has been mixed. Place a sponge in the middle of the solution. This mixture attracts flies which die almost immediately upon drinking it.
 Formaldehyde is also very useful in disinfecting stables, chicken houses, pigeon lofts, kennels, etc, with an or dinary spray gun,
 Formaldehyde solutions are not in- furious to clothing, household utensils or furniture coming in contact with 1t. For cleaning milk cans it has no equal.
 We have saved millions of dollars by treating smut diseases in oats and pO- tatoes with formaldehyde. So, in addi- ton to being power for health it is also a great factor in increased pro duction.
