THE WHOLESOME cUsTARD.

(USTARDS Of different flavors are
always good desserts for the chill
dren and are usually well liked
by them. One egg to cupful of
milk and two tablespoonfuls Of sugar
or less will make thin custard which
will be sufficient for two small cups.
If the custard is desired thicker. two
eggs to one cupful Of milk will make
Il custard which will mold. Of course,
when food value is considered, the more
egg the more nutriment.
Cup custards are more attractive in
appearance If decorated in some form.
A dot of jelly or jelly cut in cubes, a
candied cranberry or cherry, or any
bright preserved fruit is always fes-
tive, and spoonful of nuts adds to
it's food value.
Care should be taken in the prepara-
ton Of q custard. If baked, place the
custards in q dish of water and watch
carefully not to Overbake as they be-
come coarse and tough. A baked GUS
tard has finer flavor than boiled, and
is particularly good with tart berries.
Nutmeg. cinnamon. orange rind,
lemon, maple or caramel are all good
flavOrs, as well as chocolate and cocoa.
Chocolate grated over the top, or
cocoa sprinkled lightly over the Gus
lards adds TO its food value. A pinch
of salt is needed in all custards, other

AIMING FOR PUREBRED SIRES

An effort is being made by the CO.

in this movement is shown by the
fact that the report recently received

division, United States Department Of
Agriculture. shows that recently two
associations have been added to the
100 per cent list. These are the Sacra-

last thirty years is as great as that
in the preceding 28O years.
The present-day consumption Of
milk in the United States, they say,
Is equAl to about one pint per day. or
as much as two small glasses. Thar
is not great amount when It Is
known that it includes not only the
milk that is used for drinking, but
also that used in cooking. This is
small amount compared to the per
capita consumption in some European
countries. In Sweden and Switzer
land, for example, nearly 20 gallons
are used by each person annually.
A high value has always been
placed on cows in many European
countries, and history records a cain
paign conducted by julius Caesar In
central Europe where he found Ger
man tribes living almost exclusively
on milk. In order to provide pastures
for their cows they forcibly resisted
the settlement of any people near
them.
In relating the growth of the dairy
industry in this country, the depart
fhent specialists say that in pioneer
days each family kept its own COW.
The denser the population became the
more important it was to have we'll
regulated and ample commercial sup
ply Of milk. Gradually the number
of cows increased, and in time dairy
business grew up in various sections.
The development Of modern methods
in the distribution of milk, with eco
nOmic sanitary handling, has been
closely accompanied by the larger use
Of this food. they say.
Much of the milk now used in cities
comes many miles, and recently i'm
proved methods have made it pos
sible to ship it for long distances in
refrigerator cars. At the national
dairy show in Chicago in 1919, milk
shipped from the Pacific coast took
first prize in the market-mflk compe-
tition with the highest score ever CIV
en- to milk in recent years.
Cities have always used smaller
amount of milk in proportion to the
number of people than general FARM
ing communities, the statistics show.
For example, Philadelphia reached the
rate of 23 gallons per capita in 1905,
which was fifteen years later than the
country at large reached a consump-
ton of % gallons. There are. how
ever. many agricultural and nonagri-
cultural rural districts where cows
are not kept and where modern meth
DDS of milk distribution are not equal
to most Cities The people in such
places have to depend on canned mill,
of various kinds, and this. the dairy
men say. is an exceedingly valuable
means Of supplying need which 20
or 30 years ago could not have been
supplied at all.

Others miss their bearings, lose
courage and through fear, fail to gain
control of their ship, which drifts on

themselves and their crews sclinging to
broken spars.
These derelicts swarm the city

ROCKY MOUNTAIN TOM AND
THE BLOODY ESPINOZAS"

| Back in the sixties in the Colorado
-o!d camps around Pixies Peak the
warning "The Bloody Espinozas are

learts of the miners than the dread
,ry of Indians! Indians!' The
Bloody Espinozas were two Mexicans,

IS said TO have tOtaled 80.
III 1863 he killed two well-known
1rHpectOrs Of California Gulch, near
Leadville Their comrades vowed
vengeance on the Espinozas, and after
long chase and a hard battle, they
killed the youngest brother. Juan es-

his nephew with him on these raids,

AT this time there was living at
Fort Garland little Irishman called
Rocky Mountain Tom. Tom Tobin
was his real name, and he was close
friend Of Kit Carson. He was one of
the best mountain trailers.
When the report of the Espinozas'
latest murder was brought to the fort
Tobin Immediately volunteered to go
after the bandits. Setting out alone,
he took their trail and stuck with it,
although it led into the wildes. parts
IF the Sangre de Cristos. Late one
evening he saw from a distance two
men encamped under the shelter Of
shelving rock above little stream.
Stalking the two bandits as he
would wild animals, the scout crept
loser and closer He knew they could

AXE the chance of missing his first
shot. The MeXicans were crouched
out in the dim light they offered poor

AT last Juan Espinoza rose. He
stretched both arms wide, forming with
his body prefect cross and present

against the background Of a sky aglow
With the sunset. Tobin fired instantly
md the Mexican murderer fell dead
lcross his camp fire. The nephew
scrambled to his feet. The scout fired

dropped dead.
A few days later Tobin walked into
Fort Garland, carrying q sack, and de-

capable. The word ''lovely" means.
according to the Standard dictionary,
possessing mental or physical quail
ties that inspire admiration or love;
winsome, charming, lovable, as "a
lovely face"
The word "lovely" has, therefore.
distinct and valuable place in English
diction, and should not be debased by
use in connection with common or Or
binary matters, or trifles. Instead Of

HOW CODY GOT NICKNAME OF
"BUFFALO BILL"

When the Kansas Pacific railroad
was being built through Kansas in
lS67-6S it was necessary to provide
e0Od for an army of more than 1,5OO
.rack-layers. A source of supply was
aear at hand-vast herds of buffalo
md men were hired to do nothing else
but kill these animals for food. One
Of the best-known of the hunters was
William Frederick Cody, young from
tiersman who mad been a pony express
rider and guide for General Custer.
The work was dangerous, for the In
dams did all they could to stop prog
ress on the railroad. They especially
hated these hunters who killed more
buffalo in one day than they destroyed
in week, and Cody took his life in
his hands every time he went out. He
soon became such an expert hunter
that the railroad men gave him the
nickname of Buffalo Bill"
During Cody's career as buffalo
hunter, a period of 1S months, he
killed a total of 4,,S0 bison. His
greatest exploit was his victory over
Billy COmstock, a scout and rival
hunter. The match was arranged by
officers of Fort Wallace to decide
which Of the two men was the great
est slayer Of bison. They were to
hunt one day Of eight hours, and the
man who killed the greatest number
of the animals was to be declared the
champion buffalo hunter.
A herd was found and separated
into two punches. Cody Immediately
began riding at the head of his bunch,
shooting the leaders and crowding the
followers in toward the center of an
ever-narrowing circle. In short time
he had killed 3S, all of whom lay dead
over a small area. Comstock had be-
gun shooting at the rear of his herd
and. although he killed %, they we're
scattered over distance of three
miles. Two more herds were found,
and when the final count was made,
Cody had 60 and Comstock 46.
Later Cody became famous scout
and guide. He served with General
Custer In Kansas and General Carr in
Colorado. Cody was known as "Pa-
haska-Long Hair" by the Sioux, who
had great respect for his prowess.
After the Indian wars ended Buffalo !
Bill organized his Wild West show,
which added to his fame not only in
America, bur in Europe as we'll. After
seventy-two years of life crowded with |
adventure. he died January 10, 1917.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"PIcNIc."

URING the early years of
the past century it was GUS
tomary for those who were
invited to an outdoor entertain
ment to bring their own re-
freshments with them. A list
Of what was considered nee
essary would be made out and
passed around among the
guests, and each person would
agree to furnish a certain por-
ton of the repast. the name of
each article being then crossed.
or nicked. off the list. For this
reason, this form of what the
French refer to as fete cham
petre became known as a ''pick-
and-nick," referring to the
selection or picking Of the
various articles and the cross
ing them off upon the card.
and, through the usual contrac-
tlOIl, lHc CCllid WUIu WAS
dropped and the term shortened
to 'picnic." ...
Though this word does not
appear to have been used prior
to 1902, outdoor entertainments
of this nature were common
during the two centuries which
preceded. E1ainwaring, in a
letter dated November %, 1913,
describes a birthday party for
the prince Of Wales, at which
"every man did bring his dish
