The Captains Anger.

AT Priscilla's question John Alden
rushed from the house. He had be-
trayed his friend and his trust! Slow
ly. sadly, he went back to Miles
Standish.
The captain greeted him cheerfully.
You have been long time" he said.
Now tell me all that happened"
AS calmly as he could John Alden
told him everything. But when he
came to the words which Priscilla had
spoken the captain leaped up in rage
John Alden. you have betrayed me-"
he cried. "Me, Miles Standish, your
friend. And I have cherished you like
brother. But, now our friendship is
ended. Let there be nothing between
us In the future save war and i'm
placable hatred"

Croquettes.

In making your chicken and rice
croquettes allow one egg for every
two cups or less of chopped meat
and a half-cup of thick white sauce
This is a good general rule for Gro.
quettes. If YOU haven't much of the
chopped chicken add half rice and
half chicken-or an even greater pro
portion Of the rice-estimating the
amount of egg and white sauce to use
as if the rice were chicken.

HOW 1T STARTED
Epidemic"
BY JEAN NEWTON.

There seems TO be an epidemic OF
red hair" some one says jocularly, and
we assume the word epidemic" TO
have been misused, for we have come
to accept 1t as regarding exclusively
an a1fliction or disease that comes at
once upon a whole community or
large numbers of people. The fact is
however, that in accordance with its
origin the jocular use of the term was
quite correct. An epidemic may be
anything that is true of or common TO
people in general, and il is our reser-
walton of the term for affiiction or dis
seaso that is in fact the corruption
For in the original Greek from
which we have the word epidemic"
has the form of 'in" plus people"
meaning among or upon the people.
And there might no less correctly be
an epidemic OF fear or an epidemic OF
pity among a people than an epidemic
of sore throat!
Incidentally. the study of this word
brings to light common error OF re
ferring to disease which strikes at
once a large number Of cattle or
other animals as epidemic" The
term with regard to animals is "epi-
zootic."
