Cianna picked up the head and threw it,
but when she turned to pick up the silver
sword again she found the heads of the
dove and the swan on the sand.
These she picked up and threw to the
dragon also, and when she turned again,
beside the first youth stood another youth,
who held in his arms a pretty girl.
'How shall we all escape. asked Cianna,
thinking of the small boat in which they
had come.
1--WE shall find the boat as changed as
we are" said the first youth; but first
let me tell you who we are. The Dragon
is asleep and will not harm us now.
81 am Prince Janno and brother is
Prince Cionne. and, as you must have
guessed, this lady is his sweetheart; she
is the Princess Niella'
As soon as Princess Cianna had become
acquainted with her friends in their new
forms they made their way out of the
cave of the Silver Dragon to the river,
where they found the boat plenty large
enough for all of them to be comfortable.
The swans had disappeared, but two
pairs of oars rested on the sides of the boat
ready for use.
The brothers took the oars a nd soon they
were gliding along the silver river and into
the blue, while Prince Janna and his
brother related the story of how the
three had become changed into different
forms.

FORMULA FOR WHITEWASH.

Following is the formula for whitewash,
as furnished by the u. S. Department of
Agriculture. Cut it out and keep it for
reference:
Slake half bushel of unslaked lime
with boiling water, keeping it covered
during the process. Strain it and add a
peck of salt, dissolved in warm water;
three pounds ground rice, put in boiling
water and boiled to a thin paste; half a
pound of powdered Spanish whiting and
pound of clear glue, dissolved in warm
water; mix these well together and let
the mixture stand for several days. Keep
the wash thus prepared in kettle or
portable furnace, and when used, put it
on as hot as possible, with painters
or whitewash brushes.

THE ENCHANTED BlRDs-PART w

Cianna guided her swans along the
river and they soon brought her with her
strange party to the side of a big white
rock with an opening at the waters edge.
eve must get out of the boat and go in,
said the Peacock who now did all the
talking. ''The Silver Dragon will not
come to us.
When they were inside the rock they
found path OF white sand which led
them through the rock to the back, where
by the light that came in through small
openings they saw on bed of white sand
Silver Dragon asleep.
Give him my head first, said the
Peacock, and then poor Cianna began to
tremble. II cannot do it" she cried.
''Then we are all lost if the Dragon
awakes," said the Peacock, 'but by strik-
ing off my head with that silver sword
you can save lis al"
For. the first time Cianna noticed n
sword on the sand beside the Dragon.
There was no other way to save her friends
or herself. She crept toward it and lifted
it with both little hands. "Strike quickly, !"
said the Peacock bending his head before
her. and closing her eyes, Cianna lifted
the silver sword and let il fall.
"Quick! Feed him the head" Cianna
heard someone say, and she opened her
eyes to find handsome youth standing
beside her. and at the same time she saw
that the Silver Dragon was awake.

DAILY ECONOMY CALENDAR
Copyright 1918. by the Mcclure News
paper Syndicate. New YORK City.
WHEN THERE is A DIET.

Diet is assuming an ever increasing
Importance.
There is hardly doctor in the land who
does not advocate change in diet for
some of the ills to which flesh is heir.
And many a doctor advocates a changed
diet for curing most of the ills to which
flesh is heir.
So it happens that many housewives
are called on to prepare or direct the
preparation of food according TO diet
menu for some member of the family.
This is not really difficult matter. once
it is mastered. The difficulty lies in the
fact that in order to be really effective,
the diet must be persisted in for three
meals day seven days a week, So If
you are cooking diet meals II won do for
you to be lax. You must remember every
day, every meal, to conform to the diet list.
Usually doctors prefer To be quite exact
In stating Just the diet they prescribe.
However, sometimes a doctor simply
gives general directions-such ms recon-
mending no starchy foods, or less protein.
or an increase of fats. In such case. buy
a good book on diet by some reputable
authority, and let this book serve as q
guide to you.
Perhaps the easiest thing To do in fol-
lowing out a diet Is 10 plan the meals
three or four days IN advance. Then you
will never be caught without the proper
sort of food. Moreover, you can keep
the meals from being monotonous if you
plan them ahead of time. Remember
that often the very ailment that makes
the diet necessary, affects the appetite
and the diet food must be attractively
served and must be as varied as the diet
list permits.
One more thing: Dom { sympathize
too much with the one on diet. Have
the diet food well cooked, we'll served and
varied. Let it go at that. Eating on a
diet is not a hardship, and unless the one
dieting is often reminded of what he is
missing. he usually thinks little about it.

GOOD HOUSEKEEPING.
BY Laura A. kirkman.
PorAToLEss DINNERS.

POTAIOLESS DINNERS.
Everyone becomes tired Of having po-
tatoes in the dinner menu, now and then,
and at such times the housekeeper may
substitute for this vegetable cakes or hot
breads containing potato, If desired. The
following dinner menus illustrate my
point;
Fried Onions
Scotch Potato Scones.
Romaine Salad.
Coffee. Walnut Cream.
Scotch Potato Scones Sift together "a
cups of -four, u teaspoon salt and 2 tea
spoons baking powder. Add ! cup fresh
mashed potato, then with fork rub IN
tablespoons of butter; last, add we'll
beaten egg and tablespoons Of milk. Mix
well and divide into two portions rolling
each inch, then cut through twice to
make four parts sand bake in good oven.
When done, split each scone, butter, and
serve at once.
Walnut Cream-Soak a box Of gcla-
tine in "a cup of cold water for 30 minutes.
Beat the yolks of 3 eggs; add little salt,
"a cup of sugar, and cup of hot milk.
Cook till it thickens Add gelatine and
strain. Then add u cup of walnut meats
pounded fine. When it begins to thicken,
add another half-cup Of walnut meats,
teaspoon of vanilla, and II pint whipped
cream. Turn into a mold to cool and serve
with whipped cream.
Lamb Chops
Carrot and Pea Ramekins.
Beet Salad.
Coffee. Potato Cake.
Beet Salad Boil 6 beets; when cold
chop fine. Boil eggs hard; when cold
chop the whites and add them to the beets
and mash yolks with spoon, also asdding
them. Then add - teaspoon mustard, a
little salt and pepper, tablespoons
vinegar and 4 tablespoons cream. Mix
thoroughly and chill. Serve on crisp let
tuce leaves in individual portions.
. Potato Cake-Separate the whites and
yolks of eggs. Beat the yolks and add
to them ] cup of sugar, stirring 1T IN
gradually. Beat the whites stiff and add
them to the yolxs, also adding u cup of
potato flour witk which has been mixed l
teaspoon of baking powder a pinch of
salt, and teaspoon of vanilla extract.
The housekeeper who kept her wartime
recipes will find them useful in cases of
this sort, when she wishes TO present the
potato in out-of-the-ordinary ways. In
deed, all of the wartime conservation
recipes deserve TO be put into practice
occasionally for economy's sake, and the
wise housewife will take pains not to for
get the valuable lessons she learned when
our country was in need and thrift was
patriotic duty.
