Jerrold hesitated. Mr.. Starr, l have

Prudence heard him running down
the stairs boyishly, and when he came
in, before she could speak, he whis-
pered, shut your eyes tight, Prudence.
And do not scold me, for can't help

He could hear Connie making weird

whistle, and the effect was ghastly in
the extreme. Comics mouth had not
been designed for whistling.
Ssh. She's the band of dark-browed

Carol, complacently.

Connie came around the corner OF
the parsonage, out the back walk be,

gleeful scream. Right before her lay a
beautiful heavy rope. Connie had been
yearning for good rope to make a
swing. Here 1t lay, at her very feet,
plainly gift of the gods. She did not
wait to see where the othe. end of the
rope was. She just grabbed what she
saw before her, and started violently
back around the house with 1t, yelling

Prudence rushed around the parson'

there was terrific tug and heave OF
the limb beside them, and them
crashing of branches and leaves. Jerry

Anew" Spinach Is Favorite.

This is just an item about spinach
and how you can help prevent rath-
er important loss in it. All that is
asked of you is that you do not dis
eliminate unfairly, when you go to
market, in the matter of two kinds of
spinach which are practically alike
except in looks. Prickly seeded spin
ach is an old type that is coming back
on the market this year because seed
of the common spinach-SavOy-lea
Is scarce. 1t resembles the dandelion
somewhat in appearance. 1t has just
as much food value and as good a
flavor as the smoother-leafed Savoy
which you are more accustomed to
buying, and can be cooked in the same
way. Only a few years ago, before
the Savoy became almost the only
type grown commercially, the prickly
seeded spinach was the most popular
kind produced for winter use.
So don't snub this old favorite.
Specialists of the United States de-
partment of agriculture are eager to
have this explanation spread broad
cast because they fear loss may re-
suit from the belief of many consum-
ers and dealers that the prickly-
seeded type Is new one differing in
food value.

Why Use Cornmeal2

A 35-bushel yield of corn, which
crop produces more human food than
any ether commonly grown on Ameri-
can farms, will supply nearly $50
pounds of protein needed for flesh
building and more than 100000 units
(calories) of energy Wherever condi-
tons are favorable for extending corn
acreage it is evident that considerable
addition can be made to the supply of
human food.
Let it be urged once again, use more
cornmeal. Millers should give special
attention to the preparation of corn
meal of good quality and housewives
should use increased quantities of this
nutritious and palatable product as a
substitute for wheat for bread making
and other purposes. 1t is more practic-
able to increase the use of cornmeal in
this country than abroad, for our peo-
pie are familiar with corn as a food,
while most European peoples are not,
though now they try to do what they
can.

CHAPTER xI.
She Orders Her Life,


That was the beginning of Pru-
dence's golden summer. She was not
given to self-analysis. She hadn't the
time. She took things as they came.
She could not bear the thought Of shar-
ing with the parsonage family even the
least ardent and most prosaic Of Jer-
rold's letters. But she never asked
herself the reason. The days when
Jerry came were TREMENDOUSLY happy
ones for her-she was all aquiver when
she heard him swinging briskly up the
ramshackle parsonage walk, and her
breath was suffocatingly hot. But she
took it as a matter of course. She
knew that Jerry's voice was the sweet
est voice in the world. She knew that
his eyes were the softest and brightest
and the most tender. She knew that
his hands had a thrilling touch quite
different from the touch Of ordinary.
less dear hands. She knew that his
smile lifted her into a delirium of de-
light. Prudence never thought Of that.
She just lived in the sweet ecstatic
dream Of the summer, and was well
and richly content.
So the vacation passed and Indian
summer came.
1T was Saturday evening. The early
supper at the parsonage was over, the
twins had washed the dishes, and still

Savory Meat Savers,

Beans, peas and other legumes are
especially important articles Of food
at the time because of the large
amount of protein they contain, which
makes them valuable as meat savers.
The legumes protein, however, is not a
complete substitute for that supplied
by meat. fish, poultry, eggs, milk,
cheese, etc. The legumes will not.
therefore, entirely take the place Of
meat and similar sources Of protein
In the diet. They should perhaps be
looked upon as meat savers rather
than meat substitutes. They will per-
form their function as food better If
used in connection with some of the
other sources of protein named rather
than alone. For this reason such
dishes as the following. for example.
are preferable to beans or other
legumes alone: Pork and beans, Bos-
ton roast (cold baked beans and
cheese), bean soup with boiled egg,
stews Of meat and legumes, bean Gro
