NO EXCUSE FOR ANY WASTE
Uneaten Cereal and Stale Bread May
Be Used to Advantage by House,
wife, Say Experts.

Do you know
That every bit of uneaten cereal can
be used to thicken soups, stews or
gravies?
That stale bread can be used as the
basis for many attractive meat dishes,
hot breads and desserts?
That every ounce of skim milk or
whole milk contains valuable nourish-
ment?
Government food experts are asking
these questions Of all housewives.
Use every drop of milk to drink or
to add nourishment to cereals, soups,
sauces and other foods, they urge. If
you do not want milk to sour, keep It.
cool, clean and covered continually.
Remember, too, that sour milk, butter
milk and sour cream are valuable in
cookery, so do not waste any. Sour
milk and buttermilk can be used with
soda in making hot breads, or sour
milk can be turned easily into cottage,
cheese, cream cheese, or clabber. Sour
cream is good shortening in making
cakes and cookies and useful for salad
dressing and gravles for meat.

The ceoiouists' Clock.

The fossil shells Of the early inver-
tebrates are always of great impor-
lance to biologists. for they indicate
the period in which the rock beds that
contain them were formed-in other
words, the age of the rock. Every
fossilliferous rock bed contains char
acteristic forms, or groups of FORMS.
that determine the period in which it
was mud or sand. The economic i'm
portance of geology has been repeated
ly shown. In the earlier exploitation
of anthracite coal, thousands Of dol
lars were wasted searching for coal
beds in New York until. the geologist
Of the state showed that the beds in
that state could not contain coal,
since the fossils shaved that they be-
longed to the Devcnian age, whereas
the Pennsylvania anthracite coal
beds are of the Carboniferous age, a
much later period. That discovery
stopped the useless expenditure. The
study Of the animal and plant remains
that are embedded in the rocks has
thus become an important part of ge-
ology, and although the SPECIALISTS en-
gagged in the study are few, their work
Is Of the highest Importance.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1919-01-16
MORAL INERTIA is TO BLAME
Often Responsible for Failure to Live
the Kind Of Life That One Really
Wants to Live.

How difficult it is to live up to our
good resolutions we all know from
experience, but fact that we do not,
as rule, take into consideration Is
that moral inertia is as much respOn-r
sible for this condition as is tempta--
ton in its varied forms. Granted that
we have the desire to lead good lives
and that we prefer that our thoughts
should run in clean, clear channels
rather than in muddy, murky ones we
do not always have the moral strength
necessary to put these desires into eff
feet, observes the Charleston News
and Courier. We believe, perhaps, that
we are stronger than we really are and.
that although we may already be
launched upon dangerous sea we can
make safe haven at will. That we
often misjudge our power of accom-
plishment in this direction, however,
is not to be denied as circumstances
demonstrate when we make the at
tempt to seek refuge from the dangers
that threaten us. On the other hand,
we can gather strength from our trials
and unhappy experience if we will,
Notwithstanding the blows they deal
and the Encouragement they prompt
Others have accomplished the feat IN
the past and still others will accom-
plish it in the future, and these
thoughts alone should encourage those
of us at the present who are stagger-
ing under heavy burdens and fighting
unhappy handicaps to make winning
race

Trial by Ordeal in Early Days.

Trial by ordeal goes back to ear
Hest days, and in the Book Of Mum.
bers there is cnse recorded of q
Hebrew woman having been required
to submit to test Among the Hin
dus the ordeal has been practiced by
fire, by water, by poison or drinking
water in which deities had been
washed, by chewing rice, by hot Oil,
by red-hot iron, and by drawing two
images out Of jar. Livingstone de-
scribed the practice as being common
among all negro races north Of the
Zambesi, the natives having the great
est faith in its efficacy. And 1t has not
always failed, or the trepidation of
the criminal before the dreaded ordeal
has frequently betrayed him.

Poisoning Started
 Trouble. She Says
MRS. DABNEY WAS ALMOST IN DESPAIR OVER HER LONG SUFFERING-DECLARES TAN LAC SAVED HER LIFE.

My health was so miserable that l was almost in despair until some of my friendsgot me to take Tanlac and honesty believe it has saved my life," said Mrs. Blanche Dabney. 2901 Bookout St., Fort Worth, Tex as, some time ago.
 About four years ago." she con- tinued, 1" I had ptomaine poisoning, and that was the beginning of my trouble. Everything I ate would form gas that pressed up against my heart and would almost smother me at times. I had severe crampinp spells at times that got so bad I could hardly stand them. was so nervous and restless that I couldn't sleep at night and would be so flag ged out and restless that when morning came I could hardly get up. l became so weak I had to give up my housework.
 tried all kinds of preparations, but nothing did me any good until l started taking Tanlac. I began to feel better from the start and my appetite improved so that I can now eat anything that I want. My suf- ferings are all over now, I can sleep like baby, and get up in the morn ing feeling full of life and energy and able to do all my housework. Tanlac has done so much for me that l am glad to recommend it to others"
 Tanlac is sold by leading drug gists everywhere.
