MY HUSBANDS LOVE
 Garrison'- New REVELATIONS OF A WIFE

youngest q baby of but a few months held in the arms of a little girl of eight. All were seated in a row on wooden bench, with their feet dang- ling and their little faces were streaked with tears.
 "Oh," said Katherine pitifully, go- ing over to the group. How cramped this child must be holding this baby"
 The young officer looked uncom- fortable, That he was naturally a kindhearted hoy was patent, but he was so impressed indeed obsessed, with the importance and dignity of his assignment that he had lost all sense of proportion.
 If you'll be responsible for them Ma'am,' he said uneasily. "Ill be glad to let them down and move around the house. There's nothing they can do here. We searched every room before my buddy took the man and woman to the village.
 Funny thing about this :" he ex- claimed. We never expected to find a still here. We were hunting for something else in here which we didn't find and stumbled upon this"
 Katherine and I exchanged signih- cant glances. Was there somthing after all in Juniors prattle about man getting out of a window?

 At Municipal Abattoi1

Butchers interested in nsthe proposal to install a chill room and refriger- ating plant at the city slaughter house will be given a hearing to- night by a special committee of the common council.

The fees for slaughtering will be tn- creased to an amount which, figured on the slaughtering done last year, vii provide an income of $5.O65. This will maintain the establishment, pay the interest on the new invest
 r'ent and s1,OoO on the principal. 1t is claimed. The committee proposes an ordinance to require that all beef be allowed to remain in coolers six hours before the stamp Is affixed, and

USES FOR SOUR CREAM

During dog days every house. keeper is sure to wake up some morn- ing to find the cream sour, In and Of itself this is at best inopportune and at worst a tragedy. but after the immediate need for sweet cream is supplied this sour cream will make some sort of q special delicacy. 1 Of all frostings sour cream is one | of the best. It never gets dry and sugary and has taste" all it's own.
 Sour Cream Frosting One cup sour cream, 1 cup granu- lated sugar, cup nuts, f-S teaspoon salt. 1-2 teaspoon vanilla. Cook cream sugar, nuts and salt in double boiler till soft ball is formed when a drop is tried in cold water. It will take a long time to cook. Beat till cool, add vanilla and spread tn cake.
 Salad Dressing
 One cup sour cream, tablespoon lemon juice, 3 tablespoons sugar, 1-2 teaspoon salt. .....
 Have cream very cold and whip until stiff. Add lemon juice. sugar and salt and beat slightly. This dressing is very nice with fruit salads.
 This is an old-tme cookie rule used by my grandmother, who be- lieved in a full cookie crock.
 Cookies
 Three -fourths cup butter, 2 cups sugar, eggs, 1 cup sour cream. cups flour, 1 teaspoon soda few grat- ings nutmeg.
 Cream butter and slowly add sugar. Beat whites and yolks of eggs sepa- rately. Add well-beaten yolks to but ter and sugar. Mix thoroughly and add sour cream. Sft soda with four and add to mixture, Fold in whites of eggs beaten stiff and dry.
 Roll this dough as soft as possible. Certain kinds of flour will use more than four cups, but add the last amount after adding whites. Roll dough on a wcll-foured board, about one-fourth inch thick. Bake in quick oven.
 Johnny Cake One cup sour cream, teaspoon soda, teaspoon salt 1-3 cup sugar, I egg, 3-4 cup flour, S4 cup corn meal.
 Beat egg we'll. Add salt, sugar and flour and mix till perfectly smooth. Add cream and corn meal, Dissolve soda In little boiling water and stir in the last thing before baking. Bake in moderate oven for twenty minutes.
 Thi. Johnny cake is delicious with a cold luncheon of salad and cold meat, tea and Johnny cake being the only hot dishes.
 Scotch Scenes Four cups flour, F teaspoons soda.

 She has never said a word to me about our baby. In fact, I do not think she has mentioned it to any body. But every one of us can see that because she knows now this never be hers, she herself does not want to live

Letter From John Alden Prescott to
 Sydney Carton.

Sydney Carton. Dear syd:
 You can imagine, old chap, how your letter messed up my emotions as well as my nerves.
 I don't wonder you felt like moral izing a little. It's queer thing that is happening to me just at pres ent, isn't it? And yet I expect, if we only knew it and could look into the hearts and minds of our friends and acquaintances, we would find there are just as many secret places where they have hidden away things they hardly confess to themselves, as we have in ours.
 No wonder you felt like moralizing. Syd, but to tell you the truth I cont feel like moralizing. l feel like kicking myself all over the lot
 Poor darling, Leslie! Poor little Perrier!.
 Actually. syd, you are right The woman pays" And yet I think would probably rather have the con science that belongs to either one of those girls than my own at this mo- ment I tell you the torments of 
 the damned have nothing on me.
 Some people might think it very terrible for mo to speak of Paula in the same breath in which I speak of Leslie. but poor little Paula was more sinned against than shining, and am sure that Leslie. bless her heart, would understand
 am the one that should not be mentioned to Leslie, and unfortunate ly l am right under her nose most of the time.
 She is not all like herself. Syd. She hasn't mentioned in the slightest way that she would care 10 leave her bed.
 She accepts, with that gracious smile of hers. all that the nurses do for her. But she does not seem 10 will to live. She hardly speaks a word during the whole time she is awake. and even when I come in 10 talk 10 her at night. or in the morn f~ she scarcely pays any attention
