MORE VEGETABLES IN
WINTER ARE FAVORED
Salts of Many Kinds Are Needed
for Good Health.
Plentiful Supply Will Keep Children
Well and Make Their Meals More
petizing-Canned Product
Needs Seasoning

Vegetables should be freely included
in the winter diet as well as in the
summer one. Doctors say that that
tired-out feeling which many people
have at the end Of Winter-"spring
fever''-often comes from lack Of
fruits and vegetables in the winter
diet. Plenty Of vegetables keep the
children well and make their meals
more appctizing. Vegetables mashed
and put through a sieve are more
easily digostcd by little children.
Salts Of many kinds are needed by
the body, or it will not work smoothly.
Vegetables and fruit are rich in them
and if you eat a variety you are sure
to get all the kinds Of salt you need.
When the water in which vegetables
are cooked is thrown away, valuable
salts are often wasted Sometimes
the flavor is not desirable, but if 1t is
good save this water for soup or
gravy. An even better process is to
cook the vegetables in as little water
as possible so there is none left to
drain off, or bake or steam them.
Canned and dried vegetables often
need only skllrul seasoning to make
them taste as good as the fresh
variety,
Canned corn is very good when
turned into a baking dish with the
addition Of milk and seasoning added
heated through in the oven, and al
lowed to brown on top. Outside stalks
of celery a green pepper or both,
chopped and added before baking, Will

Cornmeal and oatmeal are among
the cheapest of cereals, and when
well cooked make delicious breakfast
porridges. The dislike which many
people have for them is because they
are too often served half cooked and
insufiicientIy salted. In this condi-
tion they are among the most unat-

ed and served with cream or rich milk
they are delicious, and there are few
who find them unappetizing.

QUAINT oLD-woRLD CUSTOMS
WhItsuntide Superstition In Parts OF
Enuland-AnnusI "cheese Roll
Ing" In Small Village.

An old superstition still fingers in
some parts of England, notably Derby
shire, and induces people to rise un,
usually early on Whitsuntide morn
ing In order that they may see the
sun rise, for they frankly believe that
whatsoever request is proffered the
Almighty at that particular moment
is certain to be granted.
The county of Northampton cele-
brates an old custom. dating from the
time of Queen Elizabeth, once in 20
years. The scene of it is the village
of CARLY.
Very early on White Monday, bands
of men are stationed at the by-ways
of the parish, who demand toll of all
pedestrians. Should they refuse, they
are seized, hoisted on n stout pole, and
carried to the village amidst the
cheers and jeers of the spectators.
The origin of the "cheese rolling"
which takes place yearly in the quiet
little village of Birdlip, in the Chel
tenham district, is lost, like many
more, in the mists of antiquity, but
local sentiment forbids 1t dying out. A
substantial round cheese is set rolling
down a steep hill with all the young
and active members of the population
in hot pursuit. Before 1t can be cap
tured many of the men are rolling af-
ter. but the cheese evades the ma
jority of them, and usually falls to
the lot of one of the company who
has managed to keep his feet.

BEAR MOST POWERFUL BEAST
Easily King Of Them All, as Far as
His Physical Strength Can
Be Estimated.

A man rowing does one-third as
much work as an OK plowing.
An OK plowing does little more
than half the work of an average cart
horse hauling ton of coal.
A camel carrying 800 pounds on its
back is nearly equal to two average
horses, while an elephant, which will
bear load of half ton or lift log
of teak of the same weight, is worth
in muscular power rather more than
three good camels.
The lion, usually known as the king
of beasts, is by no means the strongest
Its strength is estimated as that of six
men only, while that of a full-grown
Indian tiger is third greater.
Neither of these ayimals is equal in
muscular power to the bear tribe, Of
which the polar and the grizzly are
the strongest. A grizzly weighing about
1000 pounds has been seen to carry
steer weighing 500 pounds up n
steep mOuntain-side for over half a
mile. Its strength is at least twice
that of lion.
A gorilla four feet six inches in
height has the strength of four strong
men. 1t can bend double pair Of
12-bOre gun barrels in its paw.
The African buffalo and the Indian
gaur-Or wild Ox-are the two largest
and most powerful of the buffalo
tribe. 1t is doubtful If - men could
hold gaur, which stands as much as
