 Children under eight years of ase should not be allowed to Grink tea or coffee in any form. Babies should not be given toast dipped in mothers or fathers coffee. Coffee has no more actual food value than so much hot water and if the toast is softened, it's end is defeated since if is the crispness and effort of chewing wherein it's value lies,

Apple Snou or Float Is
PREPARED in Short Time

Here's a dessert that can be pre-
pared In five minutes If you have
some canned or leftover applesauce.
If you have none it will only take as
much longer to make as it takes to
make the sauce.
Allow two egg whites to each cup
full Of strained apple sauce. To serve
a family of FIVE you will probably need
at least two cupfuls Of apple sauce
and four egg whites. The sauce may
be made from fresh, canned or dried
apples, but in any case 1t must be
thick, not watery, when it is strained
and ready to combine with the egg
whites. Sweeten the sauce to taste
after 1t is strained and while 1t Is still
hot. Then while it Is cooling beat the
egg whites until they are stiff and
fluffy and fold the apple sauce gradu-
ally into the beaten whites. Add a
pinch Of salt and two or three tea
spoonfuls of lemon juice, pile lightly
into a pudding dish, sprinkle grated
nutmeg or cinnamon over the top, and
set the apple snow, or float, away In
a cool place until time to serve. II
you like, make soft custard with the
yolks Of the eggs to serve with the
apple snow, or float.

UPSIDE DOWN"
CAKE is NOVEL
Nelo Confection Is Well
Worth Trying.

Is there nothing new under the
sun? Perhaps upside down" cake
has no new material In it-just
flour, eggs, butter, sugar, milk, bak-
ing powder, and fiavoring, such as
you would put into other kinds Of
cake-and apples, which you use In
many desserts-but the way you put
this cake into the pan, and the way
you take 1t out for serving, makes
1t an entirely novel dessert for most
people. The United States Depart
ment of Agriculture gives us the fol-
lowing directions for making it:

Cream the butter, add the sugar,
the well-beaten egg, and the vanilla.
Sift the dry ingredients together
twice and add alternately with the
milk to the first mixture. Use glass
square or oblong baking dish or a
very heavy pan. Put thick coating
OF butter on the bottom and sides of
the dish or pan. Wash, pare, and
quarter firm-feshed apples, slice them
rather thin, and place them so that
the slices overlap and form even
layers, covering the bottom of the
dish. Sprinkle well with sugar and
cinnamon which have been well
mixed. Add another layer Of apples
placed with equal care and flavor
with cinnamon and sugar. Pour the
cake mixture over the apples. The
batter Is rather thick and may need
to be smoothed off on top with a
knife. Bake slowly In a very mod
crate oven 600 to 325 degrees Fab
renheit) for three-quarters of an hour.
Loosen the sides of the cake, turning
it out carefully, upside down, and the
top will be covered with neat layers
Of transparent apples. Serve hot with
hard sauce or whipped cream.

nor tears availed; the two arguments
that had always subdued her dead
husband had no weight In the River
quarter.
Baffled and disheartened, she re-
turned with her son to poster McAlpin
and, having cornered him, told of the
fresh indignities she had suffered in
her efforts to reclaim her own.
To her surprise, the barn boss was
angry at her. He told her fatty she
had disobeyed his orders, ruined
everything; and on this the two
joined issue.
1t was in the very midst Of their
animated discussion that well-set,
leisurely man walked unobtrusively
into the office. This was John Lefe-
yer, head wagon boss for Russell AMI
Wentworth, just in with long string
of wagons, west-bound. With feet of
small size and Notwithstanding the
largeness of his frame, Lefever
walked gingerly and with hardly any
noise. He carried in his hand a long
whip; this he placed in the rack
quietly in order that he might

Boston BrolDn Bread Is
Enjoyed for a Change

The family enjoys change In the
kind Of bread served from day to day.
There are many good reasons for hav-
ing variety In respect to the "staff
of life," not the least Of which Is in
PRODUCTION Of new fiavors occasionally
and bread that looks different from
yesterdays bread. Boston brown
bread, which Is steamed and made
from corn meal, rye meal and graham
flour, not only looks and tastes differ
ent but Is made of flours that are less
often used than white -four.
To make it you will need the fol-
lowing ingredients:
1 cupful corn meal cupful rye meal
1 cupful graham IA teaspoonfuls
-four soda
4 teaspoonfuls bak- ! teaspoonful OF
Ing powder salt
Y cupful molasses cupfuls Of sour
TX cupfuls sweet milk
milk
Mix and sift the dry ingredients
and add the molasses and milk. Beat
thoroughly and steam 31a hours in
well-buttered covered molds. One
pound baking powder tins make very
satisfactory molds. Remove the COW
ers and bake the bread long enough to
dry the top. This may be made also
with ~ cupfuls each Of corn meal
and rye meal and no graham -four.
A cupful of seeded and shredded
ralsins or prunes or cupful Of Eante
currants may be added. :

c Consumption of Alcohol
Reduced by Using Oils

Alcohol has, heretofore, always
been used In making favoring ex-
tracts. In an effort to reduce con-
sumption Of alcohol, manufacturers of
favors have been using highly refined,
deodorized mineral oils and pure vege-
table oils, such as cottonseed oil, corn
oil and peanut oil which readily dis
solve essential oils such as orange,
lemon, lime, aniss. peppermint, In
place Of alcohol. Besides these oil
flavors, gum arabic and gum traga-
canth are used to emulsify essential
oils with water or dilute glycerol as
basis. All Of the above material are
suitable for use in food If free from
harmful impurities. The bureau of
chemistry of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, has taken the po-
sition that no substitute for alcohol
should be employed in f1avors and 9TH
er food until adequate research has
shown that 1t Is absolutely harmless.

shouted. The mired wagon creaked
violently, groaned, and with the
wheels ploughing through the grip
ping sand moved uncertainty. A fresh
roar from Selwood signalized the sue
cess and spurred the horses to re-
newed efforts; and the partly re-
leased wagon, plunging ahead, was
jerked and ratified ungraciously
through the sullen quicksand and up
the ford approach to dry land.
The emigrant turned to his rescuer
with a joyful breath of relief. "Stran-
GER" he exclaimed, athat's a big lift
My names Fyler-what's yours?" he
asked, holding out his hand.
His benefactor was taciturn. He
took the extended hand, but without
enthusiasm. That's not the first time
I've helped pull wagon out of that
hole" he said good-naturedly; sit
probably won't be the last. 1 had to
be pulled out of there once, myself:
nobody uses this ford that knows 1t.

States is heading for Sleepy Cat. Give

and I'll be moving" The three men
pulled the blackboard across the creek
without difficulty, helped Selwood to
hitch his team and put back his
chain. Selwood explained in answer
to pointed questions that he was In

you'd have saved time by going
half mile higher up" commented
Selwood after he had heard the story.
All the freighting outfits go there
for the rock bottom. This is all right
when It's dry enough. It's a mean
place after shower. And If you don't
get that lead team out of that sand
pretty quick. you're liable not to get
them our at ALL"
What should you do, stranger"
asked the settler, apparently realizing
that the blackboard man knew more
than he knew about the situation.
For answer, Selwood spoke sharply
to the teamster, an overgrown boy,
who was geeing and having the pole
team with the sole effect of setting
the fore wheels Of the wagon deeper
into the sand. Drop your lines where
you are" cried Selwood, land get
that lead team ashore. Don't you see
the near horse is going DOWN."
Perceiving the awkwardness and
stupidity of the young fellow, Sell
wood, not waiting to see his order
executed, walked into the creek and,
followed by the settler, splashed
across to where, struggling to free
their feet, the head horses were
floundering. fastening to their heels,
Selwood unlocked the singletrees,
threw them over the backs Of the
frightened horses, and, slapping them
by turns smartly on the launches,
got them, splashing and struggling,
ashore. Then bidding the teamster
follow, he recrOssed the creek, turned
up the seat of his blackboard, took
out, hand over hand, a length Of
heavy chain, passed it to the team
ster to carry over, and, unlocking his
own team, walked behind them, dou-
bletree in one hand and reins in the
other, across the creek. 1t was the
work of but few minutes to fasten
one end of the chain to the tongue
of the stalled wagon and give direc-
lions to the two men as to where to
stand and what to do. The settler
was put with the team still hitched
to the wagon. From the end of the
wagon tongue the chain drawn taut
reached ashore, where, on the sandy
approach to the ford, Selwood had
hooked his own team into the chain
aid, passing 1t between them, had
hooked the rescued team to the
chains end.
With everything ready, Selwood
gave final instructions. "Now If your
k1ng-bolt holds" he said, well yank
that wagon out; If it gives, you'll
have to wait till you can rig another
there's a freighting outfit coming
along about two hours behind-now
everybody-all together"
Selwood loosed a stentorian yell;
the six horses, galvanized by the
shock, bent to the Job. The boy
dashed with his lines and the settler

An oblong kitchen can usually be
arranged more conveniently than a
square one.
Several layers Of lightweight cloth
ing are usually warmer than one or
two layers of heavy material.
A good way to get more milk In the
diet of the family Is to put powdered
milk In the bread. cupful of the
powder equals quart of liquid. and
one-half to three-fourths of cupful
to loaf gives satisfactory results.

Vitamine Content of Milk

The vitamine content of milk de-
ponds largely on the vitamine con-
tent of the ration Of the cow. Milk
richest in vitamines Is obtained from
cows that have plenty of green feed
and sunlight. Cows kept In their
stalls and fed largely on dry feeds
and cured hay produce milk that Is
relatively low In vitamines.

lose nothing Of the talk going on be-
hind him; and, to emphasize his o.
tensible Indifference to the subject
matter, he whistled softly to himself
as he fingered the other whips in
the rack and, having selected one to
try out, turned slowly around, the
prey to curiosity, to see what man
ner Of person was matching Jim Nc
Alpin for once In fast talking. Hav-
ing satisfied himself on this point by
a brief glance, Lefever started for the
door leading into the stable.
McAlpin, pressed for help and still
indignant at Mrs. McCracken's new
story, was not minded to let him es-
cape. He darted between the big
fellow and the door. "No-stop, John,
look here a minute 1 want you to
hear this! I"
Lefever saw there was no escape,
and he was forced to hear the whole
story. SWELL" he asked, at the con-
clusion, what are you going to do
about it?'
what can I do? It's Bunty Bar
toes place. John. Can afford to get
dumped into the river?"
Lefever, as If disclaiming personal
responsibility, moved out into the
barn. But McAlpin hung on to him.
Then Lefever said something, what
ever 1t was, In low tone that caused
McAlpin to lower his tone. A whis-
pered conference followed. "Do you
think it would be all right to ask
him, John?" urged McAlpin, as Lee
fever turned to get away.
eff he doesn't want to do 1t, he
won't do it, will be?' snapped Le-
fever.
Would he get angry with me ask
ing him, d'y' think?' called McAlpin
after his retreating friend.
IF he does I'll get your job, won't
I? No! He won't get angry"
Lefever was half way down to the
stalls. McAlpin stopped long enough
at the Office door to tell the Mrs"
and Moses to bide-speaking sternly
to Moses. Then grabbing his cap he

near it; where no one was asked to

PROTESTS RAID BY LONDON POLICE
Soviet Charge in England Re
 SentS Action

1 London, May 13 LF-The Russian charge d'affaire. A. P. Rosengolz, went to Downing street this morn- ing and lodged a protest with the berlain, against the raid on Arcos House, headquarters of the Soviet trade delegation in London. The Associated Press is authorita- lively informed that the foreign office was not connected with the raid in any manner, but it is ad- mitted that Anglo Russian diplo- matic relations may be affected in consequence of the police action. Whether this effect will be serious depends first upon what the Scot land Yard search disclosed and. second. how seriously the Soviet government views the raid.
 The foreign office maintains that the incident is not connected in any manner with the raid on the Soviet embassy compound in Picking and was not based upon documents or information found in the Peking raid.
 It is insisted that the police ac- ton was carried out in the ordinary manner. Scotland Yard, having cer- tain information in it's possession asked for search warrant and ob- tained it.
 The declaration Is made at the foreign office that Arcos Ltd, has no diplomatic immunity or special privileges in England. The head of the Soviet trade delegation, how ever, enjoys personal diplomatic im- munity.
