MONKS MADE FIRST PANCAKES
Delicious Comestibles Once Formed
Supper of Holy Men on Eve of
Ash Wednesday.

Perhaps You admit ignorance as to
knowing how pancakes first came to
be produced? Well, the story is very
interesting and worth telling, London
Answers says.
Monks were the Originators of pam
cakes, and we are told that on Shrove
Tuesday their supper consisted of thin
cakes, made in Il pan with flour, milk,
eggs, fat, lard, etc.-hence pancakes.
The idea was to use up all the food
stuhs remaining, which were pro-
hibited on the following day-Ash
Wednesday, the commencement of
Lent. In the olden days the poor peo-
pie would gather round various mon
astery gates. ii being the custom for
the monks to distribute what pancakes
they had left after supper among the
hungry and Stun dwellers.
Shrovetide, and Shrove Tuesday by
the way, were. in the first place, called
shrive days. They were so called from
the fact that in the Roman Catholic
church confessions are then made and
received preparatory TO the fast of
Lent. Shrive, which meant confession.
later came to be called Shrove-thus
we now get Shrove Sunday and Shrove
Tuesday.

PLAN IS ENDORSED BY LABOR
Editor in Favor of Americanism
Program.

The Charles Henry Post No. 90
New Brunswick, N. J) secured the
active cooperation of the local unions
Of the American Federation of Labor
in the Americanism program which
has been worked out by that post.
Members Of the post Americanism
committee first explained in detail 70
the editor of the labor paper what
their aims and plans were. They
asked his help in advancing the cause
of good citizenship and he not only
publicly gave his editorial support,
but offered space in his paper. for
publicity they wished for their work.
Members of the committee also went
to the heads of various unions, and
explained their aims and plans of
campaign. The labor leaders, who
were all patriotic Americans, were en-
thusiastic in their support of tie
legion's plans and at one of the early
meetings of all the labor unions the
committee presented an outline of the
Americanism work, for which they
wish to obtain the assistance of the
unions.

POPPY AS MEMORIAL FLOWER
Tacoma (Wash.l Post Adopts ResoIu-
ton Urging Flanders Fields Bios
som Be Made Official.

A request has been received by
Franklin D'Olier, national commander
of the American Legion, to have the
Shirley poppy adopted as the memo
rial flower of the Legion. The request
originated with the Edward b. Rhodes
Post No. 2 of Tacoma, Wash. which
has adopted a resolution favoring the
adoption of the poppy.
The resolution adopted by the Wash
ingtOn post was as follows:
Lest we in the days work, sur
rounded by home and happiness. forget
our comrades who sleep in France,
and here in the arms of the mother
land;
Lest we forget that greater love-
Of these American boys who gave
sheir lives for their fellow men,
LEST We forget that in Flanders
fields the poppies grow, among the
crosses, cow on row. and that nature
seems to have raised in these simple
flowers the most eloquent monument
waving scarlet blessing over their
graves:
BE ii resolved, That the Edward B.
Rhodes post, American Legion, inaugu-
rate movement to have the Shirley
poppy adopted as the Memorial flower
of the American Legion.
THAT the American Legion take
steps to assist and urge that every
public park, cemetery, and every pri-
vate garden, in gratitude to the men
who made the supreme sacrifice, do,
during the coming spring and sum-
mer, and every spring and summer
thereafter, revere the memory of our
soldier dead by setting aside plot for
continued display of waving red pop
pies.
THAT a red poppy be worn by every
of the American Legion on
Memorial day"
II is probable that a similar resolu-
lion will he introduced by the post at
the next convention of the American
Legion. which is to be held in Cleve-
land, o.

There is now an obligation as well
as an opportunity upon the citizens of

preciate the significance of the fact
that the headquarters of the great or
ganizatiOn are to be permanently To-
Gated i'm indianapolis. 1t is not enough
simply to have obtained them. / think
you will agree with me that the least
the city of Indianapolis can do is to
supply the Legion ample grounds free
of charge upon which they will erect
one of the handsOmest buildings that
Indianapolis has ever had.
bringing the headquarters of this
organization TO indianapolis is not like
bringing a factory or industrial plant
TO the city. With this organization
comes a power from which will go in
f1uences for law and order and civiliza-

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tons are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test thi.
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
hilmer d Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

VARIETY ORCHARD DESIRED
orchardist Fine Opportunity
for Studying.

A variety orchard not only affords
fruits in season, thus extending the
time for fresh fruits, but it gives the
orchardist fine opportunity to stuGy
varieties and thus fortifies him with
information suitable for determining
the best varieties Of such fruits as
apples, peaches, plums, pears, grapes,
strawberries, blackberries, dewberries,
etc. In this way we need not depend
upon our neighbours advice as to the
best varieties. though their advice may
be helpful, but we can test the varie.
ties on our own farms.

KEEP UP ORCHARD FERTILITY
Too Many Owners Yield to Temptation
to Take Off Crop of Hay-AII
Grass Is Needed.

Too many farmers and orchard
owners yield to the temptation of TAX
ing off crop of hay from the orchard.
This should never be done. All the
grass that grows there should be left
to feed the soil and promote fruit pro
duction. To remove the hay depletes
the soil of fertility and moisture, hence
less fruit. Pasturing an orchard heavi-
ly is no better than removing the hay.
Do we not rob our orchards of their
vitality and their ability to produce
fruit?

Watch for the rabbits and nice in
your young orchard.
Orchard trees, like other crops, Of
ten are greatly helped by the judicious
use of fertilizer.
When pruning young apple trees let
the tree take its natural form, except
to cut out branches that crowd or
cross. Do not cut out the central
leader.
Carelessness in grading, packing
and loading fruits and vegetables is
largely responsible for the hirh per-
centagc of reflections of shipments at
large markets.
American varieties of apples are
much in demand in certain English
markets. They are said to be better
quality than English-grown sorts.
Proper management will give
series of fruits all through the season
anu plenty TO put into cans for the
use of the family during tie winter.
Don't leave rubbish heaps about the
