Sweet Curds Pie.

Sweet Curds Pie.
One of the delicacies that our
grandmothers served when COM
pany came was sweet curds pie. It
is just as good as 1t ever was,
though served less often than in
the olden days. The curd is obtained
by adding rennet to warm milk and
allowing the milk to stand until
It hardens. The curd Is then broken
up and strained. To the curd from
one quart OF milk add one level ia
blespoon OF butter, one-fourth OF a
cup OF sugar, the yolks of two
eggs, n few Zsnte currants or chop
ped raisins. and a little nutmeg.
Whey also was much used in
earlier times, and is still a favorite
beverage with many people. II is
employed especially in diets for in
valids.

SEWING MACHINE 1 SLATEST GHOST
Portugal Stirred By Peculiar Noise Heard All Over
 the Country
Rr Asso.i.tea p....

Lisbon, Portugal October 11.-Portu- gal, always a hotbed of superstition, now is agitated by what is described as a phantom sewing machine" Columns of the daily newspapers are filled with letters reporting cases in which a mys- terious sound resembling that produced by sewing machine has been heard. Other communications are from scien- lists, philosophers and spiritualists at tempting to explain it's origin.
 The Lisbon newspapers say the strange sound was first heard about three months ago in house in Oporto at midnight. and the newspapers add that hundreds of people have heard the same sound since but at different places. h
 It is reported that one family aban- doned their house at a fashionable bathing resort because they had heard the sound for six successive nights. At Sinfaes young girl is seriously i'll from fright and her parents declare they heard the sound for several hours each night, apparently coming from the bed railings.
 The popular explanation is that the soul of seamstress has been doomed to haunt the world to expate sin and all through the provinces the peasr ants are praying for her repose

ASSEMBLING BODIES
Italians Who Died In Mountains to Be
 Buried Properly
ny Assoeinted Pres.

Ny Associated Press
 Rome, October LA great national sub- scription is now being made to collect together all the bodies of Italian soldiers who died fighting on ths~mountain front and are insufficiently buried, all the bones which are whitening on the rocky mountain sides and to give them ntting sepulchre on one of the highest peaks, probably San Michele. It is proposed that a simple, noble monument should be erected under which will rest together of- ficers and soldiers, rich and poor.
 One of the sads phases of Italy's war on the mountain front was the difficulty of hurying those who fell fighting. The soil on the Carso range is such thin crust over the massive rock of which the mountains are formed that dynamite had often to be used in order to make sufficiently deep grave, especially on those historic peaks like Monte Santo. Monte Nero, the Grappa and the Her mada, where Italian blood flowed like water. The Austrians originally held air the passes there and dominated the Ital- ians at every point, but they were taken and re-taken over and over again until the final victory gave them to Itlaly for ever.

methods of travel, and of what strug- gles and efforts, and conquests thess methods are the result.
 The story of travel evolution from the earliest days when primitive man had only his two legs to carry him, through the ages to the coming of the "horse- less carriage" is to be shown in motion pictures.
 This picture is the result of a belief on the part of officials of the Cole Motor Car Company of Indianapolis that a product has greater appeal to the gen eral public if associated in the minds of that public with definite background either of history, or manufacturing process. The Harry Levey Service Cor poration of New York is directing the eaaking of the production, which, it is said, is to be an elaborate one, ana which will require many months for completion.
 Every phase in the story of travel evo- ution is being picturized, and camera

Do You Know a Baby Sick
 With Constipation
Ten the mother to give half teaspoon
 ful of Dr. CaldwelPs


 full of Dr. CaldwelPs
 Syrup Pepsin.
 MO thoughtful mother with children N in the house will risk being without a good, reliable laxative. It will save many serious illness, many a doctors visit.
 When the baby cries and is fretful, when the boy has no appetite and won't play, when the girl is listless and fever ish, when there are complaints of headaches and colds, the mother can suspect constipation. Give Dr. Cald- wells Syrup Pepsin in the small dose prescribed on the bottle, when you put the child to bed, and with morning the ailment will have disappeared,
 Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is popular compound of Egyptian Senna and other simple laxative herbs with pepsin and pleasant-tasting aromatics. It acts gently and mildly, and children take it without objection. A sixty-cent bottle is enough to last an average fam fly many months. The ingredients are endorsed in the U. s. Pharmacopoeia, and last year American mothers bought over eight million bottles of Dr. Cald- wells Syrup Pepsin from druggists. It is the largest selling liquid laxative in the world, and few cautious families are ever without it

 1 One important feature in the making of this production will be the making of 1 such models as are not in existence to- day either in museums Tor elsewhere, In the course of the evolution of travel, ve- hicles of queer kinds have been made scme or them so queer that they did not survive to be placed into actual general usage, and perhaps one or two vehicles was the total output Of some of these Although they xid not survive, or enter general use, however, the influence cf some of these modes of travel was felt later in vehicles of travel which embodl jed characteristics first appearing m these rare speciments. Such was tha case with the steam carriage, propelled by legs striking against the ground Very few of these were ever made and none of them are in existence today, yet their influence is felt in later-day travel.
 For this reason, in special historical department, such vehicles are being cafe-

 Animal travel beasts of burdenin all parts of the world-the ostrich, the dog, the llama the camel, the dogs of the frozen north--and all other animals that have played or do play a part in the travel of the world are being photo graphed, it is said.
 Another big feature of this picture will be the showing, for the first time through the medium of the screen, the of many Of the modes of travel, and especially of the modern motor car Through a series of question naires, the Cole Motor Car Company has discovered that the percentage of motor car owners who really kn ow what is go- ing on in their cars, why the machinery acts certain ways and why it refuses to act in other ways, is remarkably small.

Huge Cement Plant

State-oWned enterprises of one. kind or another are not uncommon. even in this land of private opportunity. but few of them can be classed as indus trial, at least in the manufacturing Z sense. Distinctly unusual. therefore, is the new undertaking of the state of south Dakota-the establishment and operation of Portland cement plant of huge capacity. based on natural 7e- sources of almost limitless extent, says an illustrated article in the Popular Mechanics Magazine. For this devel !. o2ment the sum of s1,000,000 already has been appropriated, together with an additional $25,00O for prospecting expenses. and another appropriation ,f s500,000 is now under consideratio,
 for the installation of machinery.
