Nutritious Foods.

Eggs are complete food. Meats
are direct flesh builders. Beef broth
Is nutritious, but chicken or mutton
broth is better. Veal, when young,
Is good and nutritious. Pork Is hard
to digest and should never be given to
Invalds. Chicken is the most deslr-
nble in the sick room as a fowl.
Chicken breast may be given even be-
fore beef or mutton. The white meat
of the chicken is the easiest digested
of all meats when either boiled or
fried well and the bird is young.
Young pigeons are next. Sweetbread
(the pancreas of calf is also of value
and easily digested. Fish Is easily d.
gested but of less value in strength
than meat or fowl.

Door Mats Grown In America.

Growing of door mats has been car
ried out for some time In certain
parts Of America, the only articles
required being some pieces of old
sacking, or any similar material, and
common grass seed, says Detroit News.
The sacking Is cut to the desired size
and shape and then moistened with
water and placed on level soil. Grass
seed is then sowed rather thickly over
the surface of the sacking, the whole
covered with paper so as to shade II
from the strong sun and keep it pro-
tected for about a week, at the end
of which time the seed will have germ
mated. The cover is then removed.
Every three or four days the mat is
moved to a fresh position to prevent
the roots fastening themselves to the
soil beneath. After a week or ten
days, when the mat has dried and the
grass turned nice shade Of green,
the mat is ready for use. The little
grass plants hold on to the canvas
most tenaclously, even when they are
dead, this being due to the fact that
the root hairs become entangled In
the rough hairs Of the sacking and are
extremely difficult to remove.

Natures Natural Processes.

We are living on a globe we call
solid, but in fact it is plastic ard
changeable with gaseous ocean
above us and liquid one below it.
From these three factors all organic
life is created, and upon them 1t de-
pends for its existence. Vegetable life
derives its life and body from certain
chemical combinations, induced by the
action of the suns radiatiOns. Ami
NAL life depends on vegetable
life, and also serves other ami
mails as food. All these return TO
mother earth and thus pay the debt
they borrowed. From this we learn
that what is death and destruction of
one is life of another. Wherefore
what we call waste and destruction is
only necessary and unavoidable
process OF the living functions of
mother earth.-EXchange.

FALL IN EUR0PE'S POPULATION
Estimated Loss Through Years of War
Will Reach Total Of Thirty.Five
Million People.

According to report made by the
Society for the Study of the Social
Consequences of the War, which has
its headquarters at Copenhagen, be-
tween the outbreak of that conflict and
the middle of 1919 Europe lost about
35OO0,0O0 people. OF this deficit in
what would have been the normal pop
ulation of the continent at the latter
date 20O00,000 are accounted for by
the decline in the birth rate and 49,
100000 by increased mortality includ-
ing nearly 100000 killed in battle.
The surplus of the female sex In
Europe has nearly tripled, rising from
slightly more than 100000 to 15,OOO,-
600. Russia and Poland suffered total
losses of 100000; Germany and Aus
tria together slightly less than that
number; France comes next with an
estimated loss of 100000; Italy roll
lows with 2,2S0,0OO; Great Britain and
Ireland lost about 1,1S5. 200, and little

Remarkable Transformation.

John had been with his father Oh
the occasion of his maiden effort with
a car Waiting for friends, in anoth-
er car, before starting on a pleasure
trip, an inadvertent turn too far to
the side of the road had resulted IN
being nicely caught in about foot of
fine sticky mud. The friends arriy-
ing had made merry over the task of
pushing out the car. John, later in
the day, excitedly describing the at.
fair. had this, among other things, to
say: "And then they turned all the
ladies' into men, and they all helped

Her Collection of BARGAINS.

There had been war wedding and
now Mr.. Juggins was busy earning
something to foot the bills with. SO
he handed all his savings over to his
wife with the remark:
Look here, Hlda, my dear, you go
shopping and get a home together.
New stuff is very dear, but you'll man.
age all right If you go to sales and
things. You're a good bargain hunt
err"
She was. But he had forgotten that
to the real huntress of bargains low
ness of price appeals rather than util-
ity. Otherwise he wouldn't have been
so surprised at the results.
In the kitchen they have a filing
cabinet, three chairs. more or less
whole, and an old desk. The dining
room isn't bad, only the chairs don't
match, and the dining table is one
leg short. In the bedroom there are
beds, Of course, and In addition col
lapsible boat, patent pillow, several
assorted German helmets and other
souvenirs, two stepladders, zinc bath
and only one hole in 1t, and folding
settee which won't unfold.

The Subconscious Mind.

The subconscious mind is at work
day and night on jobs you never sus-
pect. If, for instance, you have been
trying to remember how a certain
tune goes, and given it up in despair,
II is the subconscious mind that takes
up the task, and works on 1t for days
or weeks till suddenly you find your
self humming or whistling the correct
air. 1t is the heart-clock (the pulse
merely registers the heart-beats) thar
enables people to wake up in the
morning at time they have decided
on the night before. A little prac-
tice will make this heart-clock fair
ly useful alarm. That part of your
brain that is called the subconscious
mind, watches this clock all night and
wakens the working part of your mind
at the time required.

TREASURE OF PIRATE GOLD
Remarkable Collection That Is Dis
played in Museum Of the Univer-
sity Of Pennsylvania.

The largest collection of the gold
work Of the Aztecs, the Incas ana
other ancient Central American gold
workers, whose civilization was de-
strOyed by the buccaneers seeking the
metal, Is on permanent display at the
museum of the University of Pennsyl-
vania. The collection contains $1,000
900 worth Of pirate gold. some Of
which has never been melted down be-
cause of its exquisite workmanship.
Part of the ancient collection had
been buried in the mountains of Co.
lombia by the Indians to save the
treasure from invaders. This part was
purchased by the museum of the Unit
versity of Pennsylvania just after It
had been brought to New York by It's
discoveries. The other part is COM
posed Of heirloOms handed down TO a
French family descended from some
branch Of early Spanish royalty, who
got the pieces from shipments sent
home, perhaps by Cortez and his fol-
lowers. The latter part was picked
up In Paris recently by DR.. George
Byron Gorton, director Of the univer-
sity museum.
The Colombian part Of the collec-
ton contains nearly 100 pieces, from
breast-plates to bells, bracelets, CIR
dies, earrings and even golden sta
pies, and helmet of pure gold. The
Paris collection of 81 pieces contains
two pure gold idols nine inches high
and three inches wide at the Shout
ders. The Incas collection also con-
tains a death mask Of thin, beaten
gold.

Chinese Silk In America,

The American demand for silk In
China has greatly Increased in the
last few years until at the present
time about % per cent Of the Chinese
silk is sent to the United States. This
is the result Of American enterprise
more than that of the Chinese. The
japanese silks had been In favor for
a long time with the manufacturers
of this country but II was well un-
derstOod that the quality of the Chi
nese was superior, but it was not
adapted for use in this country be-
cause of the manner in which II was
woven. An American manufacturer
secured a moving picture reel show
ing the japanese methods Of manu-
facture, and as result the China
men were induced TO change theirs TO
a system to conform with the demands
of the occidental customers, and the
industry has accordingly taken a great
jump.

RASPBERRY COUSIN OF ROSE
Relationship Conceded, and Tomato,
Pepper and Tobacco Are All Men,
bers Of Same Family.

Onions are, Of course. known as
"kitchen lilies" but how many cooks
or even gardeners are aware of the
fact that asparagus belongs to the
same family and is also a member Of
the genus lily? Or that the mulberry
is nettle, and that hops, figs, hemp
and the rubber tree are all near re-
lations?
Take, for instance, the common po-
tato. Its nearest ally among our wild
plants is the deadly nightshade. The
tomato, the red pepper and the to-
baccO plant are all members of the
same genus, which is known to botan-
lists as the "solanaceae."
The sweet potato is nothing but a
convolvulus, while the rhubarb and the
buckwheat, though totally dissimilar In
appearance, are from botanical
point of view nearly allied.
Raspberries, blackberries and all
their varieties are "rosaceae," and
closely related to the common wild
brier.
There is not much apparent resem-
blance between parsley and the par
snip. Yet bOtanist can tell you that
they are both members of one family,
and that this self-same family includes
the carrot as well as various aromatic
plants such as anise and coriander.
Celery, too, comes in the same cate
CORY.
Beet, however, has no kin with the
carrot. Its nearest connection in the
kitchen garden is spinach.
That the Jerusalem artichoke and
the sunflower are related is fairly OBJ
vious. What is little startling is the
fact that the succulent lettuce is one
of the same family, which includes
also the daisy, dahlia, chrysanthemum,
dandelion and thistle.
All the wheats, oats, barley, rice,
and most other edible grains are de-
rived from wild grasses. Even the
sugarcane is of the same order as the
little velvet-like grasses which carpet
your tennis-lawn.

Make Livinc Hunting Bats.

An odd class of Mexican prospector
makes good living hunting bat caves.
In the hill countries of Sinaloa AMI
Sonora the Mexican bat breeds by the
thousands and makes its home ID
caves along rocky cliffs. Here depos-
its Of guanO accumulate, small for
tunes being sometimes realized from
the sale of one caves deposits. The
bat is small, with fiat head and broad
ears, and gives off musky odor To
locate bat cave these guano-hunters
work much as do the backwOods bee
tree hunters In Missouri. They seek
out a likely cliff, wait till dusk and
watch for bats. soon, by close OBJ
servation, they can locate the cave
entrance from which the bats emerge,

ROBBING THE FARMERS.

Sac City, Iowa, Oct. 28.-County
Agent Earl Maharg took trip to
Sioux City in hopes of finding will
ing corn huskers, who could help
with the crop in Sac county. He
found plenty of unemployed men in
Sioux City, but learned that they
were affiliated with the Industrial
Workmen of the World. They
laughed at an offer of six or seven
cents a bushel for husking, and held
out for ten to- twelve cents.
Mr.. Maharg did not bring back
any men, but had lots of samples OF
l. w. w. inflammatory literature,
which he secured from several of
the men. They also had several
copies of the Iowa Homestead in 4.
w. w. headquarters, and were quot
ing from it to prove that the farm
ers should be more liberal" with
the "label organization" members.

The School of Citizenship which
has been advertised for November

one of the best things that could

ing advertised as being for women,
I understand that men may attend
IL they wish. The information and
instruction which will be given at
this school, I think, is of especial in
terest and value to those who have
applied and those who expect to APP
ply for naturalization or citizenship.
Many who apply are unable to read
the American language, and there
fore do not get the information nee
essary to obtain citizenship. BY at
tending a school in regard to the re-
quirements Of person who wishes
to become a citizen, as we'll as the

FRUITS EASILY BE PRESERVED
 BY FREEZING

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4 (by Associ- ated Press) Fresh berries and cher ries in midwinter are possible, the ex- perts of the department of agricul- ture announce after extensive expert ments. Successful methods of storing fruits and berries in frozen condition have been demonstrated and, the gov ernment experts say, these should be more fully utilized in relieveing the market of surplus receipts of highly perishable fruits while in sound, edi- ble condition They declare that pre- servation by freezing is cheaper than canning, especially, when tin contain CTS are costly, as at present, and an important industry of steady develop ment is looked for in this line.
 Fruit held at proper temperatures, the experts say, has a more natural flavor than when canned or dried and is fully as satisfactory as fresh fruit, is superior to canned and dried fruit in making icecreams and sherbets, and for cooking in the form of pies, preserves, jellies, and other desserts and confections.
 Strawberries, red and black rasp- berries, blackberries, lOganberries, blueberries, gooseberries, entrants, and sour cherries have been found to keep successfully after being frozen. Berries can be frozen in the crate in which marketed in temperature from 10 degress Fahrenheit to zero and be- low and withdrawn from cold storage when wanted. The fruits become waterlogged when taken out and col lapse and therefore must be used inn mediately. Government experts say, however, that they retain their nat ural flavor and in every way are con- parable to the best fresh products.
