UnpIeasantnesss in Home Creates In

Driving Children Away.

A few sarcastic words from the ia
Their, a sharp retort from the mother,
that was all. But was it all? What
about the effect upon Johnnie and Su-
sic, sitting there quietly at their eve
ming lessons? And did neither parent
notice that Thomas slipped out of the
house at the first intimation that there
was to be quarrel between father
and mother? For quarrel it really was,
although brief and clothed in the Ian
guage of educated, respectable per-
sons; and long after these harsh and
unkind words had been spoken the at
mosphere of the family living room
remained charged with an emotional
disturbance in which no one could con-
centrate his mind upon his reading or
study.
Family friction is always fatal to
happiness, says Mary A. Lasalle in
Mothers Magazine, and when there
are children in the home 1t is almost
sure to work irreparable harm upon
their minds and souls.

FRICTION INFAMILY is FATAL

is friction in the family. Young people
are by nature loyal to their parents
and it is almost never that young
person will give as reason for his
leaving home the fact that his father
and mother quarreled or nag at each
other or do not agree upon certain
points.

1t is the belief of the post office de-
partment that the operation of these

will materially aid in the distribution
and in lowering the cost of food prod

The existing law does not provide
for the employment of government
owned motortrucks or rural delivery
routes, nor does it require the rural
carriers to use motorvehicles.
In the star route service, however,
where the mail is carried under con-
tract, recent law permits the post
office department to designate the sort
of vehicles to be employed, and in
awarding new contracts the depart
ment will specify that motortrucks
shall be employed on all routes where
the roads are such as to admit of their
use. These contracts are advertised
for bidders, and where payment asked
for the service is deemed to be excess

provide goyernment-ow1ad motor

Fish are excellent, and In many local
tiles are very reasonable in price. A
stuffed fish roasted and served with
the following sauce will be n welcome
dish. This sauce is also good served
with either fried or broiled fish.
Spanish Sauce.-Chop fine three
small onions and cook until soft in a
tablespoonful of fat Stir in a pint
of tomatoes, chopped pepper, or n
few chopped olives. Season to taste
with red peppers and salt, and when
the fish is ready turn the sauce over
1t just as 1t goes to the table.
Buttermilk Biscuit.-Sift together
four cupfuls of flour with tablespoon
full of soda and the same of salt. Melt
three tablespoonfuls of lard and stir
into two cupfuls of buttermilk, then
add to the flour. Mix soft enough to
handle and roll out just as soft as
possible. Cut into small biscuits and
cake in a hot oven.
Prune Crumb Pudding.-Steam a
pound of prunes until soft, remove the
stones and cut in small pieces. Put a
layer of bread crumbs into the pud-
ding dish, then the prunes, then more
bread crumbs, sprinkling each layer
with brown sugar, cinnamon and dots
of butter. Over the last layer of
prunes sprinkle few chopped wal
nuts, cover with crumbs and turn in
a cupful of the prune juice. Bake I'M
til the crumbs are brown. Serve with
a sauce made of the prune juice
fa1
of butter substitute, and sugar. all
cooked until thick.
Sweet Potato Custard Pie.-To one
and a half cupfuls of boiled and mash
ed sweet potato allow one egg, two ia
blespoonfuls of butter substitute,
half a cupful of sugar, three-quarters
of a cupful of milk and nutmeg to
taste. Beat the eggs, cream the sugar
and fat and add milk and potato, beat
ing well to mix thoroughly. Turn into
a pastry-lined plate and bake as usual.
Souffle of Meat.-Make white
sauce of a pint of milk, two table
spoonfuls each of butter and flour.
Melt the fat, any sweet fat Will take
the place of butter, and when hot stir
in the flour, then add the milk, COOK
until smooth, add two cupfuls of cook
ed meat finely chopped, teaspoonful
of salt, half cupful of crumbs, and
the yolks of two eggs well beaten.
Then fold in the stiffiy beaten whites
and pour into a well buttered baking
dish and bake over hot water a half
hour.
Just granulated sugar creamed with
a butter substitute and nutmeg makes
a most tasty pudding sauce.

authority. In all countries the highest
comparative rates are in populations

The Iron Age.

The best informed sources give the
period from 1000 to $500 B. c. as mark
ing the transition from bronze to iron,
declares the Christian Herald. Prof.
J. B. Wilson, in recent article in the
Princeton Theological Review, pre-
sents pretty nearly all of the available
evidence on the subject. The iron
age" seems to have begun earliest in
Asia Minor, where iron was used for
various purposes as early as $500 B. Q.
The people of Nippur used iron knives
and arrowheads as early as 1000 B. c..

GOLD MINING HIT BY WAR
Many Properties That Were Profitable
Have Been Forced to Close Down
Temporarily,

Gold is one of the war victims. The
was has forced down, in market value,
measured by human labor, many kinds
of property and most of the staple
commodities, until some gold mines
which yielded a fair profit before the
war have become temporarily useless
to their owners. 1t costs so much to
operate them that they cannot be
worked without a loss.
There has been change in the value
of gold itself, in the money of great ma
tions which have maintained their
monetary systems on the specie basis,
while almost everything else has gone
up. The result is that any given num-
Der of ounces of gold mined will buy
much less material used in mining,
such as explosives, drills, pumps and
other machinery. and will pay for few
err days work. This change is still
going on and the position of the gold
mining companies grows less and less
secure and sound.

Cure for tuberculosis Claimed.

An Italian physician, Prof. Domenico

evolved remedy for consumption.
The base of his discovery lies in his
finding that sugar applied to the bron-

tubercle bacilli as well. The impor-

secretion is held to be a necessary ver
