There you behold a contrast of Ia
Dor and result.
In one case, to meet the fancies OF
CONNECTION eaters, all that immense Ia
Dor is employed to put individual
pieces Of candy in box. In the other
instance, machines, backed by a few
millions of capital invested in other
machines, can generate electric power
sufficient to turn 10000 wheels over a
distance of scores Of miles.

WHISTLE IS BIRDS DEFENSE
Homing Pigeons Protected by THE
Means From the Attacks Of
Their Natural Enemies.

"The reliability Of the homing pigeon
over radio, telephone, telegraph or any
other known means of message trans
pOrtation, for short distance has beer
demonstrated" said Roy DeIhauer
United States pigeon expert, in a lee
ture to members of the second bat
talon, Fourth field artillery, regarding
the handling of hOming pigeons at Fort
Sam Houston, Texas, recently.
That organization, while on hike OF
SOC miles, was supplied with birds, and
part Of the days program was to send
messages from the battalion head
quarters at San Antonio.
Mr.. Delhauer has recently adopted
q bamboo whistle that may be attached
to the pigeons tail as a protection
against the attack Of hawks while in
the air. The whistle is very light and
makes a shrill noise, thus frightening
off any bird of prey that wanders too
near the message bird.
In Panama it Is said that such a
whistle is necessity ON account OF
the prevalence of pigeon hawks. 1t Is
an invention Of the Chinese. Mr.. Del
hauer said that in China it Is not an
uncommon thing for the natives to re
lease whole flocks of pigeons and other
BIRDS each with a whistle tied to its
tail. AS the birds fly about the great
number Of whistles produce aerial
music.
Five hundred dollars Is not consid-
cred an exorbitant price to pay for a
pair of well-trained homing pigeons.

WINTER DISHES

THE forehanded housewife who has
\ laid In her needed supply for the
winter when she has Il good fruit or
vegetable cellar Will always have a
variety for her table. Carrots covered
with sand and lightly molstened, kept
cool and dark, will be fresh and crisp
down to the last layer Hubbard
squash, cabbage, turnips onions, eel
cry, endive may all be kept IL care
fully cared for. The cabbage II
! wrapped in newspaper and laid on
the stone or cement floor near the
cold air shaft or in vegetable cellar
kept at 40 or 80 degrees will be found
firm and crisp to the last.
Finely-shrcdded cabbage allowed to
stand in very cold water until 1t curls
and is very crisp makes most delicious
cold Slaw and salads. To serve with
oysters there is no better way than
the simple dressing of good vinegar,
salt and dash of cayenne and white
pepper with a slight sprinkling Of
sugar.
Another simple salad is shredded
cabbage dressed with sugar, vinegar
and then covered with whipped cream.
A little salt improves it as it does any
salad. The charm of any cabbage is
in its fluffy fineness. 1t should be
shredded as fine as tissue paper If
possible. There are so many small
shredders on the market now that no
one need be without one.
The little hard-shelled fiuted squash
which are just the right size for a
good individual serving are delicious
cut open, seeds removed and the cav
ity filed with butter, salt and pepper,
turning carefully to have both halves
well baked and not lose the season
ings. Serve half of the squash as a
portion.
A very nice winter company dish is
broiled fish with
oyster Sauce.
Take one dozen oysters, two cup
fuls of oyster liquor, two tablespoon
fuls of butter, two tablespoonful Of
-four one egg, one teaspoonful of sea-
sonings, parsley finely minced, thyme,
garlic, onion and dash Of cinnamon
and cayenne. Simmer for five min
utes, add the oyster liquor and one
dozen oysters. Simmer for II minutes
stirring constantly. Remove from the
fire, strain, add one well-beaten egg,
beat we'll and season to taste. The
oysters may be used for stuffing fowl,
after finely ch0pping.
Baked Ham.
Take a slice of ham two inches thick
from the center of the ham. Cover
with milk, using quart; add a bay
leaf, one-half teaspoonful Of dry mus
tard, six slices of carrot and half a
Glove Of garlic Bake In a slow oven
