Bread Without Wheat Flour.

The New York Herald announces
that New York chef has wonder
recipe for making bread without
wheat four Jean Ricroch, chef of
the Biltmore hotel, is responsible for
the recipe, aad he now gives it to the
country, without money and without
price. Mr.. Ricroch told Herald re-
porter the ingredients Of the new bread
are as follows, twenty-five pounds
Of rye -four, 25 pounds Of graham flour,
% pounds of corn flour, 25 pounds Of
crushed oatmeal, / pound of lard and
2 pounds of yeast" This, it is ex-
planned, is enough to make $50 pounds
Of bread. The yeast and rye -four
should be mixed first and the others
added alternately. Smaller quantities
Of bread can be made by using smaller
proportions. The receipt doubtless is
q good one. but it does not provide for
bread without wheat flour. Graham
flour is unbolted wheat -four. So,
while the bread is a wheat saver, it
does not do away entirely with the use
Of that grain.

The SAP of Spring.

When the sap Of spring Is bursting
the fetters of winter the general hui
man heart beats high. A few Of us
philosophers receive amid the rich but
sober tints Of autumn a happiness that
we would not exchange for any other
season, but we are a minority, and
small. The head Of one Of the most
important departments at Washington,
who thinks about the processes Of man
kind, has theory that makes regu
lar curve Of the relation Of the seasons
to the appetite for war. AS the buds
open, every nation thinks it is on the
edge Of victory. This curve rises for q
while, begins to decline in the summer
and gets well down in the autumn.
The period therefore, when statesmen,
if they had decided to make peace,
could do it most easily, is from the
days of goldenrod and autumn browns
to just before the greening Of the
buds. The story Of coal, a tragic
story to the poor, helps this curve, but
there is in it much Of sheer poetry, in
dependent Of more solid things.-Nor-
man Hapgood in Leslie's.

Of the First innovations When
Peace Is Declared.

Airplane postal service will be one OF
the first innovations Of peace in Eng
land. The problem is already being
worked ont in detail, even to the cost
Of postage and hours Of collection and
delivery. It is also said that within
the first few months after peace q
transatlantic airplane service will be-.
established. Airplane engineers say
that the problem Of constructing a
machine for transatlantic fight has:
been solved in theory, and machines
which would cross the Atlantic could
be built to-day if it were not that the
long distance busses of war time must
also be heavy weight carriers. The
most interesting result Of thete peace
plans is that it has been found pos
sible to arrange the collection and de-
livery Of letters between London and
Glasgow with such dispatch that core
respondent in London will be able to
receive a written answer within the
working day. Applied to the middle

MoLLUsKs MAKE GOOD SOUP
Thrown Up on Florida Beaches by the
Waves They Are Collected and
Sold to Hotels.

Along the Florida beaches very
common and familiar kind Of rock is
wholly composed of the shells of a
small species of mollqsk, oval in shape
and half an inch long. 1t is called
"coquina," and is hard on the feet if
one walks over it without shoes.
In beds below the line of low tide
are mollusks Of the same kind, alive.
Their bivalve shells are pink, blue and
Of other colors, quite brilliant, so that
in places the beaches are beautiful to
the eye, great numbers of them being
thrown up by the waves along the
shore.
Under such circumstances they soon
die, of course, leaving their pretty
shells to adorn the strand. But there
are always plenty of live ones at the
waters edge, and these are gathered
in quantity at some Of the winter re-
sorts by boys who collect them with
rakes and carry them in baskets to the
hotels for sale.
They are used for soup, being
pressed to a pulp in order to extract
their juice. The latter, strained and
heated, affords a very delicious table
beverage known as "coquina BROTH -
1t is particularly recommended for In
valids and persons with weak diges-
ton.

SIMPLY PLACE OF DEsoLATlON
Little for the Traveller to Enthuse Over
When He Visits the Old City
of Jerusalem.

The allies advance in Palestine has
taken them through Jerusalem and the
little village of Jericho. The plain of
Jericho, the scene of so may historic
incidents in the past, is once again
caught in the old glare of the spot
light. Such a light reveals too plainly
the hopeless poverty Of the people, the
cracks and holes in the rough walls of
the novels, the fields and gardens, fall
len by neglect into a riot Of weeds and
wild flowers growing rank.
1t is better to look at Jericho at sun
set, and not too critically even then. In
a soft light the wretchedness of the
thatched huts is less insistent, the jas
mine and oleanders seem sweeter and
the ragged Bedouins acquire pictur-
esqueness in spite Of dirt and squalor.
1t is only a short walk through the
plain from this Jericho of the present
to the two other sites which have
borne the same name. One, the Jericho
Of Old Testament, DESTROYED by Joshua,
is only memory, it's reality proved by
bits of unearthed walls and pottery.
The third Jericho of the triangle is the
Jericho of the New Testament, the city
of palm trees which Antony bestowed
upon Cleopatra and which she later
sold to Herod the Great. Made gor-
geous in the reign of Herod as city
Of palaces, it is now only wreck of
stones and battered towers. The palms
for which it was famous are gone, with
the palaces and circus which they
shaded. The plain Of Jericho is will
derness, bound to civilization by its
many highways and its tiny village. A
few miles to the southwest lies Jeru-
salem, connected with the village by
the robber-infestA road along which
the good Samaritan Travelled. All about
the plain rise the cliffs, mounted by
steep and winding trails. 1t is not an
attractive region, but even if 1t were
more wild and desolate than it is it
would still be much visited, for at
every step are landmarks of history.

ton "a' has been changed to the long
English "a" as Of "safe," and from
two syllables 1t is reduced to one, so
that it may rhyme with "chafe."
Nor does the process Of eliminating
Germany in this verbal instance stop
on the mere point of pronunciation.
To the compilers Of the Oxford led-

ity. To quote the London Times, as

DIFFER OVER ORIGIN OF DOG
Whether All Kinds Had Common
Ancestor Has Long Been Mat
ter of Dispute.

The ancestry of the dog has been
the occasion of much controversy, ac-
cording to Leo S: Crandall's book,
"Pets." Many naturalists have con-
sidered that it is descended from a
single ancestor, such as the common
wolf Of Europe. Darwin, however,
leans toward the theory Of multiple
origin, and advances much convincing
proof in support Of his belief. 1t is
widely known that many savage tribes
have dogs. which appear to be simply
half-tamed representatives Of the par
ticular wild doglike animals inhabiting
the same regions.
The dogs of the American plains In
dams closely resemble the small prai-
rie wolf, or coyote: the husky of the
north country is plainly not far re-
moved from the gray wolf; the Ger
man sheep dog and the Samoyede are
Whether our present degs are the re-
suit of crossing these many simple
derivatives Of wolves and jackals
among themselves, or whether there
was an original ancestral dog, now ex-
tinct, with which the blood Of other
species has become mingled, we have
not yet been able to determine, though
so many primordial animal remains
have come to light.
According to st. George Mivart, the
dingo is the only wild dog still exist
ing which meets the requirements OF
an ancestor of our modern breeds.
This species is found throughout Aus
tralia and fossil bones which have been
found show it's presence there from
very early times.

ONLY CHANGE IN MACHINERY
Hand Knitting Now Done in Exactly
the Same Manner as It Was Many
Centuries Ago.

There are q few touches Of humor
In the countryside revival Of knitting,
such SIS the oyer-large and the envious
feminine group about the lady who,
with practiced skill, deftly turns the
heel Of a sock, but behind it all is
fine display of service, says writer in
the Detroit Free Press. When you
see sweater or muff1er in process of
evolution it may interest you to know
that the work is being done just about
as it was when the art was in it's In
fancy. There have been great improve
ments in knitting machinery, however,
and the first of them was directly due
to somewhat common malady-un-
reciprocated love.
The Rev. William Lee Of Cambridge
university, as the story goes, was deep
ly smitten with maiden of his native
town, Woodborough, Nottinghamshire,
but in spite of his ardent wooing could
make no impression. The fair one
calmly kept on with her knitting. then
the common occupation of English
women.
In revenge Reverend William swore
he'd invent machine which would de-
stroy the market for hand work. He
kept his word, but Queen Elizabeth re-
fused to grant patent and to give her
financial support because too many Of
her subjects would be deprived of their
means of livelihood. So the inventor
took his machine to france. This
story may be entirely fanciful. but in
1889 William Lee did revolutionize
hosiery making by producing the knit
ting frame or stocking frame. Ameri-
can names in the list Of those who
have labored to perfect knitting ma
chinery are W. G. Gist, Almet Reid Iand

WHAT SCOTLAND IS DOING
This Little Country Has Already
chcerfuIIy Done Very Much More
Than Her Share.

We are pretty well acquainted in this
country with the part Canada is TAX
ing in the war. Wehave been advised
from time to time Of the individual
sacrifices being made by the people
to the north of us. We know only in
a general way what other people are
doing. So it comes as refreshing news
to hear from the lips Of such man
as Harry Lauder the heroic work and
sacrifices of the Scots.
More than 100000 Scotchmen are
under arms, or have given up their
lives in the struggle. And Scotland
is small country. In the cities and
towns there are no more eligible men
no more men fit to bear arms. They
have all departed. Scotland is a land
of old men and women and little chill
dren-~ad crippled soldiers. 1t is not
the Scotland of three years ago, with
husky set of strapping young fellows
tilling the fields and working in the
mines and mills.
Not only that, but the people do not
complain. There are no riots because
of the conditions-no murmurings
against their fate. The war is on; the
Scots will fight it out. That is the
spirit one finds in Scotland, among
those old men and women and among
the little children. 1t is the spirit one
finds out in the trenches, where the
Scottish soldiers stand on guard and
meet the enemy face to face.
The history of Scotland is too well
understood to call attention to it here.
The record Of the Scots, made in the
long ago, still is fresh in the mind OF
every one who knows history. So 1t
isn't necessary to state that the Scots
are born fighters, that they are not
going to give up. They have done in
this war exactly what those familiar
with Scottish history expected them to
do. And they will not fail at any time
In the future,-ColumbuS Dispatch.

HOW TO AVOID INFLUENZA
Doctor Says to Cut Out Fruits Sweets
and All Fried Foods.

To be immune from influenza cut
ost fruits, greasy foods, sirups, confec-
tionery, honey and fried foods. This is
the advice of DR.. Frederick de LHe Of
Boston, an expert.
Here are some Of Doctor de Lue's
influenza pointers:
Influenza bacillus locates most
readily in rheumatic people. Acids, in
the system are the cause Of colds.
Chocolate that we give cur soldier
sors makes acid, and acid serves as
feed for the influenza bacilh. Boiled
riee is a better ration than chocolate.
