1919 EClinSeS

Touching on the eclipses and com
cts for 1919, a writer in English
Mechanic and World Science" says:
There will be two eclipses Of the
sun in this year, and one of the
moon The first of the solar eclipses
Con May 29) is interesting, for it
will be total, and the totally will
be unusually long, and visible from
accessible places in Brazil and At
RIGA. The second solar eclipse will
happen on November %, and will be
annular. The path OF central eclipse
in this case also crosses the Allan
tic, and the ring phenomenon may
be seen from the West Indies to
West Africa.
A partial eclipse will be visible
from the British Isles, but in not
very favorable circumstances as it
happens near sunset. The Luna
eclipse on November is visible from
Greenwich, but less than a fifth of
the disk will be obscured. The re-
turn of three periodic comets is ex-
pected during the year-Kopff's
Holmes, and Finlay's, all in the au-
tumn.

TO STOP CHICKS DYING
Put this in the drinking water.

Most people lose half of every
hatch, and seem to expect it. Chick
cholera or white diarrhoea is the
trouble The U. S. Government states
that over half the chicks Matched die
from this cause.
An Avicol tablet, placed in the
drinking water, will positively, save
your little chicks from all such dis
eases. Inside of 4S hours the sick
ones will be as lively as crickets. Ayi
col will keep them healthy and make
them grow and develop more rapidly.
Mrs. Vannie Thackery, r. F. D. 8.
st. Paris, O., writes: Il had so chicks
and they all died but 80. Then l
commenced on Avicol and haven't
lost any since. They have grown
wonderfully"
1t costs nothing to try Avicol. II
you don't find that it prevents and
promptly cures white diarrhoea and
all other bowel diseases of poultry,
tell us and your money will be re-
funded by return mail. Send csc

Keeping the Flavor in Meats

1t is extremely difficult 70 retain
the flavor-giving qualities in piece
of meat so tough as to require pro-
longed cooking. 1t is sometimes par
TALLY accomplished by first soaring
the exterior of the meat and thus
preventing the escape of the Juices.
Another way is to let them escape
into the gravy which is served with
the meat itself, illustrated in the
following recipe for round steak on
biscuits:
Cut round steak into pieces about
one-half inch square. cover with
water and cook at a temperature
just below the boiling point until it
is tender, or boil for five minutes,
and while still hot pour into a fire
less cooker and leave it for five
hours. Thicker the gravy with flour
mixed with water. allowing two level
tablespoons to a cup of water. Pour
the meat and gravy over split bak
ing-poWder biscuits, so baked that
they have large amount OF crust.

To Make Recipes
Come Out Right
BY BTDDY BYE

All good domestic science teach

time impressing on their pupils the
iltr A recipe is like druggists

amounts Of ingredients will produce
different results. To get the same
result each time use exactly the
same measurements-and make theln

but it doesn't fit the facts.
Two cupfuls of graduated sugar

more than a pint.
Here is a simple and accurate
table of the common measurements
used every day in household cookery.
Learn them as a substitute for the
INACCURATE ''pint's pound" rule.
Three teaspoonfuls equal one
tablespoonful.
Five tablespoonfuls equal one
WineglaSSful.
Sixteen tablespoonfuls equal one
cupful.
pints equal one quart.
-Four quarts equal one gallon; two
gallons are one peck.
A pound is the exact weight OF
four cupfuls of sifted flour; two
cupfuls of graduated sugar; two and
two-thirds cupfu1s of powdered sug-
ar; two cupfuls o chopped meat,
or two cupfuls of lard, packed solid;

cording to size), or two cupfuls of

CAROLINA JEWETTS ADVICE
70 LONELY GIRLS 81 HOME

as [ have very beautiful golden hair?
How should 1 dress my hair? What
must L say to boy when he proposes
to me when L do not love him? One
of my boy friends and I have broken
up. Would it be all right for me to
keep his letters pictures and presents
he has given me when he has not ask
ed me to return them? G. D.
Answer-You can wear almost any
color, but soft blue colors are most
becoming to blondes. 1t is not par
ticularly wise to correspond with
boys you do not know at any age.
Say anything pleasant to your Sis
ter's intended husband that occurs to
you at the time. You are not too
young to go with boys as friends.
When boy asks you to kiss him
tell him you do not want to kiss him
or any other boys, and that he must
not ask you again If he wants to con-
tinue coming to see you. L would
they were already good friends of
the family. Boys call you pet names
in all probability because you are at
tractive and not quite dignified
enough in your manner. 1t is not
nice to throw kisses at the boys.
When anyone pays you a compliment
say thank you" Dress your hair
simply in the way most becoming
to your face. You are too young
to receive proposals of marriage, and
you might just tell the boy so. What
do you want to keep letters for?
Burn them up. I would not make
ents from boys, and then you will
not have to decide whether or not
they shall be returned later on. 1t
is foolish to return simple gifts.

MOTORS IN FREEZING WEATHER.
apply Heat Before Attempting to
Crank Enqine.

In temperature below freezing do
lot start motors without applying
ome heat to start vaporization OF the
Gasoline before beginning to crank the
angine. The approved method of ap-
plying the heat is to wrap the carbu-
rotor float chamber and the mixing
chamber or intake manifold with sew
eral winds of cloth and saturate the
cloth with very hot water The amount
OF water necessary depending on the
temperature of the air al the time
In very cold weather large Kettle
illl or even two may have TO be
soaked through the cloth.
In temperatures below 10 degrees
above zero the condition of the lubri-
eating oil must be known. Some oils
will become nearly concealed at this
temperature while others will flow
gt much lower. If the oil level is TO
be tested by try cocks the condition OF
the oil is very easily learned. IL 4
floating gauge tells the oil level, rock
ing a car will cause the guage to move
up and down il the oil is in a safe
condition A cold motor should never
lie rased in warming il up. Run 1t but
little faster than is necessary TO keep
II from stalling. The cold oil will not
follow rapidly to the pump intake and
running the engine, consequently the
Gil pump too fast will cause air
pockets in the oil line with danger OF
burning out bearings Always fully
cover the radiator for the first few
minutes that use of the choke TO keep
he motor running may not be neces-
slry for long time, While using the
hoke you are wasting gasoline and
he waste gasoline does not burn but
goes down by the pistons, diluting the
iabricating oil and causing the motor

u the oil in the engine base is con-
gealed or partly so, heat must be ap-
lied to II before starting the motor.
fhe passages leading to the oil pump
and the pump must be warmed by hot
water The oil must be warmed by
pouring two quarts or more of well
heated new oil into the engine or ap.
plying blow torch to the oil reser.
yoir
Small quantities of water remain
ing in the water pump OF cars from
which the water has been drained will
freeze to the pump rotor and hold 1t
when the engine is cranked, causing
damage TO the water pump which is
expensive to repair. Always pour
