to how he can linger until April

alienable right to get an authen-

lips. So the second curtain
finds him, eyes alikht with the

humorous and unsentimental
good-by. There is no twaddle
about his "dear public" nor his
anguish incident to leaving the
LAND Of the free" He tells
several jokes, talks aimlessly
like Tom Lewis in haIf-co1n-
pleted sentences, says he is
anxious to get home and get 4
bit of gardening done and then
recites the valued criticism Of
the bell-bOy at his hotel, who
called him "the cats whiskers.'

Did you ever stop to consider how
many rubbers are lost by bad play'
One very famous player is authority
for the statement that four out OF every
five rubbers are "chucked," that is,
lost by bad play or bad bidding. This
observation is particularly true of a
long, close rubber where the cards are
breaking fairly even. In such rubber,

follows suit on the first round of hearts
but what can he discard on the second
round. If he discards a club, Y will play
two rounds of clubs and then put rs
hand in the lead with the ace of spades
and Z will make the jack of clubs. If B
discards a spade, all of Y's spades are
good. In either case, therefore, w must
make the balance of the tricks.

HE REPRESENTS TEN
MILLION VETERANS

Representing 100000 veterans Of
the World war is big job, but there
are many pleasant features about 1t.
and visit to this marvellous country
is one of them"
So said Lieut.. Col. George r. Cros-
field of London, who, as president of
Fidac, the interaIlied federation Of
veterans, visited this country in May
under the auspices of the American
Legion, American member of Fidac,
Colonel Crosield, who came to
America on the invitation of National
Commander John r. McQuigg Of the
Legion, visited New York city, Phil
adelphia, Washington, d. c., Pitts
burgh, Toledo, Ohio, Chicago, Paterson,
N. j., and indianapolis, where national
headquarters of the Legion is located.
Colonel Crosfeld is an outstanding
hero of the World war. In the fierce
fighting at Ypres in 1915, he lost
leg, yet undaunted, he applied to try
for a commission in the Royal British
Flying corps, won the commission and
was headed for the front ag2in when
the armistice was signed
Colonel Crosfelds soldering began
long before the World war. He saw
service in the South African war and
served In the volunteers and territori-
ais for 81 years. He went to Francs
as second in command OF the Fourth
South Lancashire regiment, and for Ii
months was engaged In the persistent
fighting in the Ypres sector.

Rice Cooked in MIL

One cup of rice will absorb three
or four cups of milk when cooked
in the double boiler, and is, of course,
much richer in food value than when
boiled in water. To keep the grains
separate and prevent them from be-
ing sticky, wash the rice thorough
ly until all the loose starch is re-
moved. Have the milk hot and drop
the grains slowly into it, add a tea
spoonful Of salt, and cook for about
one-half hour covered. Then remove
the lid from the double boiler and
cook slowly for little longer until
the rice has dried out somewhat. Turn
it into a pan, cover 1t with lid, and
put it in hot oven for a few min
utes to dry out more.

Distinguish Hard Wheat
From Soft by Practice

The housekeeper can distinguish
hard-wheat from soft-wheat flour with
a little practice. Flours from soft
wheats have a velvety texture. some
what like cornstarch. Those from
hard wheat are usually more gritty.
Experts detect this difference by rub
bling pinch Of flour lightly between
the thumb and the third finger.
Squeeze a handful of flour tightly,
then open the hand. If the flour re-
mains in a mold and shows the i'm
preston of the fingers it is probably
a flour from soft wheat. Hard-wheat
flour acts more like a powder and the
mold breaks up readily. A quart of
hard-wheat -four that has been sifted
once, dipped lightly into the measure,
and then leveled off weighs about Is
or IL ounces, or even more. A quart
of soft-wheat -four sifted and meas
ured in the same way weighs only
about IA or Is ounces.

American People Eating
More of Milk Chocolate

Consumption of milk chocolate has
Increased tremendously In the United
States during the past Eve years, ac-
cording to Department of Agriculture
figures.
More than 29O,OOOOOO pounds Of
whole milk were used in manufacture
ing this product last year compared
with 100000 pounds in 1921. The
quantity used in 1924 was $4,000
600 pounds.
Peak consumption of milk chocolate
was reached during the war when
hundreds of millions of pounds an
nually were shipped abroad to sol
diers of the allied forces. There was
a sharp decline following the war,
but consumption since then has in
increased to the figure shown for
1925.

In the latter part of June, when
less bedding is required, most house
keepers begin to think about washing
the blankets and putting the heavier
ones away for next winter. You will
want to store these blankets in fresh
spotless condition, not only because il
makes it so much easier and pleasant
er in the fall when they are again put
into use, but because experience has
shown that moths do not attack clean
wooden articles as readily as those
that are soiled So the chances of
complete protection from moths are
better if you wash the blankets now.
Choose a bright, moderately warm,
breezy day each time you plan to
wash blankets-for in a large house,
hold they will most likely be done
few at a time and you will then be
sure that they will dry quickly and
evenly. The warmth of the blanket
depends very largely upon the amount
of nap. When the blankets are thor
oughly dry you can raise the nap by
brushing them well with clean stiff
whisk broom. Hand cards, such as are
used for combing wool, are even bet
ter for the purpose. There is some
loss of wool in mapping a blanket, but
the result is a fiufier, consequently
warmer, blanket.

Many Disabled Veterans
Are Returned to Health

Hundreds of disabled veterans of
Minnesota are being "mended" and
returned to health each year through
the American Legion Hospital associ-
alton of Minnesota, 1t was disclosed
in the report of the association for the
year 1925.
The association is financed by thou
sands of 25-cent pieces collected from

of their regular dues, and the work

Grams who were crippled in body in

Only one death has occurred.
To perpetuate this care the Legion
has signed 60-year contract with

OF all the textile fibers, wool per
haps requires the greatest care in
washing, says the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. If moist
wool is rubbed, if it is exposed to in
tense heat or cold or rapid change of
temperature, or if strong alkalis are
put into the wash or rinse water, the
wool fbers are likely to become hard
and shrunken, and white ones will be
yeIlowed Blankets therefore which
are warmest when fluffy need careful
handling. Wash them in lukewarm
suds made of neutral soap and rinse
them in lukewarm water. Soft water
is, of course, best, but do not use
water that has been softened with
large quantities of strong washing
powders. If anything at all besides
the soap is put into the water, use
borax or ammonia. Also do not rub
soap right on the blankets, but dis
solve it in the water and put the
blankets into large quantity of this
lukewarm suds. Wooden materials alb
sorb a great deal of water so you viii
need more suds than for cotton, linen,
Sor ok1er fabrics.
n To Dry Blanket
q TO dry the blanket, hang it over
NE -wfkh from a fourth to- half on
one side. Squeeze the excess water
out ofgthe ends occasionally. AS blan-
kets Are generally washed in warm
weather, the precaution about never
allowing woolens to freeze is unneces-
sary, but if possible hang the blankets
where there is a current of warm air
to help them dry evenly and quickly.

then the cream of tartar is added and
