prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
A good use for green tomatoes, left
at the cad of the canning season, is
mock mincemeat, which will be rel
ished in winter PIES, suggests the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture.
Slice up a quantity of green toma-
toes and sprinkle well with salt. Put
into bag and hang up to drip all
night. The salt left on the tomatoes
need not be washed off. In the morn-
ing take equal weights of sugar and
tomatoes and cook until the tomatoes
are thoroughly done. To Z pounds of
the mixture of tomatoes and sugar
add pounds Of seedless raisins, with
mace and cinnamon to suit the taste.
Cook a short time after adding the
seasoning and put into jars. This will
keep without being sealed and will
make delicious pies, which many con-
slider as good as those from ordinary
mincemeat.
Another use for green tomatoes is
in pickle making, in combination with
cabbage, onions and green peppers,
which are usually plentiful at the same
time in the fall. The recipe below has
been found very satisfactory. 1t may
be made without the sugar if pre-
ferred

The Nervous Wreck" an eccen-
trio young easterner, drives Sally
Morgan. daugter of Montana
ranch ownenr, over rough, uncer-
tain trail from the ranch to the rail-
road station. They run out of gaso-
line and the occupants of a passing
car refuse to lend them any. The
Wreck takes five gallons at the
point of gun and drives on.
Later they are held captive at a
ranch along the way because the
foreman, Charlie McSween, needs a
cook, and Sally fills that need. They
discover that the owner of the rarcI,
is the owner of the car which they
held up. McSween announces that
the owner is Mr.. Underwood of New
York, and that he and his boy aad
girl expect to stay at the ranch for
several weeks.

The physical man from birth to
death is built, repaired and main
tanned by the activities Of the
stomach, and the quality of the
man largely depends upon the
quality of his digestion. A well built
and well repaired machine will last
longer than a poorly built one, and
just as surely will the body that
Is well-built and repaired by
sound and well cared for stomach
last longer than one which is less
well built and cared for. Long
life and vigorous old age per-
haps are more dependent upon q
good digestion than upon any
other single factor.
These statements are quite
obvious and indisputable, but there
are widely different ideas as to
what constitutes a good digestion
and how 1t should be cared for.
'Gravest of the popular errors con-
corning the stomach is that Its
efficiency is to be judged by the
abuse that it will stand. The
stomach that will dispose of a
large quantity of food. or digest
foods that are difficult to digest,
may be called strong" stomach;
but such a stomach may be the
very cause Of its owners filing
an untimely grave. This sort Of
digestive strength invites abuse, If
not checked by intelligent restraint
and such continued abuse will re-
suit either in n premature break
down of the digestive apparatus
itself, or in a continued oyerdiges-
ton that will break down the kid
neys or liver, or cause obesity.
rheumatism, dropsy, or govt.
The stomach that will contri-
butte to long life is the one that
will send forth the call OF appel
tie for only the kind and quantity
of food needed to maintain and
prolong life. The happy medium
of stomach power is perhaps the
safest one a man can have. A.
strong stomach, the kind that viii
stand abuse, would seem, II never
abused, the more desirable, for
there would always be g reserve
power of digestion. But in prac-
tice we are all creatures of appel
ite, and few of us can fully con-
troll our food intake by purely in-
tellectual guidance. 1t is for this
reason that the man who is dys-
peptically inclined so often out
lives his neighbor with the lusty
appetite. The weak digestion may
be troublesome. but 1t must be
carefully handled. and so many

Milton Fairchild Declares Dis
loyal Activities Cannot Get
>, Started in Schools

WASHINGTON, August 10
There is no necessity for the general
public to become excited about I'M
patriotic propaganda seeping into
the schools of the United States,
Milton Fairchild, chairman of the
Character Education Institution said
recently in a reply to letter sent
out by Mrs. Anthony Wayne Cook,
president-general of the Daughters
of the American Revolution.
Mrs. Cook warned state regents
of her organization against the "ac-
Invites of those who are knowingly
and deliberately disloyal to our gov
eminent and our political institu-
tions," but Mr.. Fairchild asserted
that the school authorities were
competent to handle the situation,
and that it was impossible for dis
loyal activities or propaganda to get
a start in the schools.
''The boards of education" re
said, "are made up of trustworthy
citizens, superintendent and super
visors over the body of teachers"
In her letter Mrs. Cook said the
youth Movement" aimed at the
heart of "our most sacred and moral
foundations and will, if promulgat-
ed in our secondary schools and co.,
leges, aim to destroy the moral fibre
of our girls and boys" Pacifist
groups, she declared, "have even in
vaded our schools with their doc
trines. Indeed, one group has a
widely advertised set of illustrated
school literature especially devised
for its purpose, and comments in its
circular upon its success and popu-
larity. The Daughters of the Amer
can Revolution 'mean to oppose
with all the vigor and strength of
their beings any individual or
groups of individuals who would
substitute for our great institutions
of government untried theories and
dangerous communist doctrines"
Mr. Fairchild, in his answer. sets
forth that he personally interviewed
Mrs. Cook and other, asking for the
sources of their information. These
had been given, but upon investiga.
ton they were found to ''have no
reliable. detailed information" He
said ne proposed to Mrs. Cooks or
ganization and others that if they
would furnish positive information
it would be put in the hands of
school authorities.

dining room when the Wreck

clearness as he drew nearer to

there was a surly set to his features.
He was drawing things on the table,
cloth with the tine of fork.
In the living room there was a
table, close to the dining room door,
and on the table was telephone.
Somebody with heavy voice was
using it; the Wreck identified the
large man who would not share mis-
gasoline. The girl and The youth
were listening, and the Wreck, put
ting down his tray, listened also,
pretending to be busy by wiping the
soup plates with a napkin.
"Well, you've got to get him, y

blandly. "Then we'd have a com

He grumbled his way through the
chores, but she could not complain
that he was inefficient. Although he
seemed constantly at the point Of
disobedience. the Wreck followed
his orders. He even kept a faith
full eye on the stove, whi!u she went
into the dining-room to set the table.
She took a swift peep into the living
room while engaged in this task, but
the Underwood family was evidently
upstairs.
"Underwood?" she unused. Cant

There were footsteps on the stair

rooms, and Sally, with a final look
at the table, fled back into the
kitchen.
"They're coming down." she in

1t was very large omtlette that
she made, fluffy and thick, a rhap-

The Wreck eyed it with jealous dis
approval, but she did not give him
time to express an opinion. She
had him opening can of soup and
pouring it into saucepan for heat

anyhow.
