"The founders of America were sim

became the corner stone Of great
nation. They gave it simple name
Plymouth Rock Their dress was very
plain. You would know a Pilgrim
father and mother if you met them
anywhere today. And you would take
off your hat to them. :.
''Too many things. too many plans,

who are so busy taking care Of their

A large variety of soups may be
made by utilizing not only milk but
also leftover portions of vegetables
and other foods. In making them al
low from one-half to one level table
spoonful of -four to each cupful of
liquid (including milk and the juice
and pulp of yegetables) and one level
tablespoonful Of butter or other fat.
Some of the flavors which may be
used are onions, corn. asparagus, cab
bage, cauliflower, peas, beans, toma-
toes. salmon or other fish, celery, spin
ach or grated cheese. These soups
are nourishing and oftentimes a child
not fond of milk can be persuaded to
get down to the daily quart necessary
for his health by having part of it
made into milk soup.

PROOF OF SAGAcITY OF RATS
How Rodents Handle Eggs, for In
stance, Shows They Possess
Ability to Reason.

A careful student of the rodent tribe
writes: mo single point better Illus
trates the sagacity of the rat tlian the
way in which it eats an egg. 1t bites
through the shell and chips off small
fragments as neatly as a squirrel opens
a nut, consumes the entire contents
without splitting drop and then sits
up and ticks itself clean like a cat.
Rats win steal the eggs from under
setting hen. Their method Of handling
eggs Is also characteristic. An egg is
as large for rat as a barrel Is for
man. and much more fragile. Yet
there is evidence of the fact thar they
pass eggs along frons one to another,
although not probably, as has often
been reported, by forming long lines,
like a bucket brigade. The operation
is naturally a difficult one to observe,
but apparently 1t takes two rats to
each egg. One holds the egg in its
paws, passes 1t on to the other, and
then runs ahead to take it once more
In it's turn. The same device seems
TO be employed to carry an egg down
stairs, the one that has the egg pass
ing 1t to companion standing on the
Ttep below"
