Listen, Nora. Is it because OF

desperate? You need not be. If he
loves you'll will stand aside. [ will,
Nora, indeed [ will"
Even in her sombre apathy, Nora
glimpsed the gallant generosity of
her friend. She reused herself for
moment to quick expostulations.
But that's all wrong, Resale.

Her part in Nora's condition, now

First her egotism in insisting on

Remedy for Reaches

One of the most effective and sim
pie means of Kidding premises Of
reaches is busting with commercial
sodium fluorid, either pure or di-
luted one-half with some inert sub
stance such as powdered gypsum or
flour. This remedy is one recon-
mended by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Numerous practical tests conduct
ed in lunch rooms, bakeries, milk
bottle exchanges, etc, have shown
that with the use of this substance
reaches can be completely extermi-
mated with very little trouble and
cost and with none of the possible
dangers attending the use of hydro
cyanic-acid gas, another efficient
means of control. With the use of
some dust gun or blower the sodium
fluorid can be thoroughly busted
over the shelves, tables, floors. and
the runways and hiding places OF
the reaches.
The immediate effect of the pow
der is to cause these insects to come
out of their retreats and rush about
more or less blindly, showing evil
dence of discom fort, to be followed
in the course of a few hours by their
death. These de;,1 or paralyzed
reaches can be swept uD and burn
ed. and completes determination is
effected within "a hours.

Do You Bake Bread?
Here's How to Tell If
It's Up to Standard

GOOD homemade bread is about
the most appetizing of foods when
one IS hungry, but there are many
Kinds of homemade bread. Some
IS good, some is bad, and some in
different. Which kind do you make?
II you don't know, judge it by the
following description of a good loaf
given by the home economic kitchen
OF the United States department of
agriculture:
Good bread is porous and contains
a large number Of holes or cells, all
of which are Of about the same size
and shape. 1t is better for some
reasons to think of it as a mass of
tiny bubbles made of flour and wa
Ter and hardened or fixed in shape
ton not only to the size of holes
or cells, but also to the character
OF walls Of the cells, which in good
bread are always very thin.
A loaf of bread should be light in
weight, considering it's size, and
an unbroken, golden-brown crust The
crust should be smooth on top and
should have certain 1uster, to which
the term Gloom" has been given.
Inc loat as a whole, the crust and
the crumb, should be elastic The
loaf, if pressed out of shape, as it
often is when slices are cut from it,
should regain it's form when the pres
sure is removed. Bits of the crust.
If bent little between the fingers
should show the same power to re-
bound, as should also the cut sur
face of the loaf if pressed
The crumb should be creamy white
in color and should have "sheen,"
which may be compared with the
bloom of the crust This sheen can
best be seen by looking across a
slice rather than directly down into
it. The distribution of the holes, on
the other hand and the thickness of
the walls can best be examined by
cutting very thin slice and holding
it up to the light.

" OSALIE. determined to do
X everything in her power to
IN bring Nora back to physical
and mental health did not stop
with her plan, to consult with DR.:
Findlay. Another possible source Of
aid presented itself to Rosalie, con-
nected in a way with the special
work which had recently kept her
so occupied.
Not long before she had met a
lecture before Higher Life circles
throughout the country on the phil
osophy of life preservation and heal
ing as developed by age-old research
of Yogi and Hindu recluse.
He was said to have been an Eng
lishman. His speech was undoubt-
eddy that of an Aaglo-SaXon, al
though his skin was Drowned and his
ways suggested the soft stepping,
soft-voiced manner of the Far East.
What had attracted public attention
was the service of this man, Dr.
among soldiers suffering from war
neuroses and she'll shock.
He had, it was said, a method of
mental treatment which had restored
reason to SO great percentage of
cases that certain base hospital au-
thorities had taken him from his
voluntary service as orderly-he had
first been a r-bearer-and
made him special assistant in a
psychopathic ward. Army doctors,
at first skeptical, had heartily in
dorsed his work.
to the United States for special re-
search work in one of the largest
government hospitals, where nerve
wrecked soldiers were under treat
ment. It was said also that he
wished to observe several extraor-
binary cases left entirely on his
hands.
He was quite an ordinary appear
ing man, unassuming, avoiding the
Iimelight Wherever possible. But in
the few talks that Rosalie had heard
him give, and in the limited CONVEX
satioH she had held with him, this
man of western birth and eastern
derstanding and a power of
thought projection unequaled in her
experience. He was very chary of
demonstrating his own psychic
power. On the other hand, his ex-
PLANTATION of supernormal phenom-
ena of many kinds was so definite
and authoritative that he seemed, in
deed, a very fountain of knowledge
and of mental healing.
Perhaps if Nora should retain the
idea which obsessed her of rejoining
her husband in the spirit world, and
if Newton Findlay could not help,
this man whose strange white magic
seemed to outdistance science, this
DR.. Hathama, might.
By the time she had thought
through all this the sky was streaked
with dawn and il the surcease which
daylight sometimes gives to the anX-
ious heart, Rosalie finally fell
asleep.
