Mudhen Claimed
To Be Very Best Food

Although most hunters during the
duck season look upon the mudhen as
a pest, George E. Mushbach, former
federal game warden in Montana and
now superintendent of the Bear River
migratory bird refuge nea Salt Lake,
maintains that the coot should not be
deSpised as food under any circum-
stances.
While in Great Falls just before the
opening Of the hunting season, Mr..
Mushbach told sportsmen how mud
hens could be prepared to equal duck
as food. His recipe has just been pub
lished by the department of agricul-
ture.
"Skin the birds and cut of legs and
breast" says the refuge superintendent.
Split the breast in two parts. Wash
all parts thoroughly in cold water and,
if desired, soak them a few hours in
salt or soda water, but this Is not
necessary as skinned coOt has no strong
or unpleasant flavor. Roll damp meat
in flour and place in frying pan over
a slow fire. Cover the pan and allow
to fry slowly in either bacon grease
or lard. Keep the pan covered and
after meat has cooked for about 80
minutes, add a generous lump of but
ter. Get the pan hot and then pour
in a half to one cup of cold water.
Replace tight cover and allow to steam
about a minute or two. Remove meat,
add sufficient flour to thicken gravy,
and serve"

vas very cold; gusty breaths of air
raj through it. Ghosts everywhere,
Lathom had said. The dank air
seemed to press against Sandra, heavy
with the hate. lust, and despair of
people who had lived in this house.
Without a word they began to mount
the stairs, past the stuffed swan whose
orange eye glared m%ournfully from the
shadows. Creaks and strange little
noises came from the w~ainscoting; the
signs Of a sad old house stirring in its
sleep.
Sandra thought Enthusiastically:
Its watching us! 1t knows!"
And again she had the queer fancy
that she was only another Of Bridalls
ghosts; a shadow gliding along beside
another shadow with the ruin Of a
life between them. A little puff Of air
passed her face. Lathom's candle
flickered and went out; everything was
darkness, and she called in sharp ris-
ing panic.
"Glen! Gleni"
Sobbing with relief, she felt his arms
round her and the harsh GOODNESS OF
his cheek against her own.

"Oh, Glen, the l~onelineSs!"
Never any more, my darling. Never

Downstairs the old lady was still
huddled in her chair, listening, doing
thinking. Round and round her tired
old thoughts revolved.
Glen Lathom. Yes, little Sandra's

Her Mothers
Lucky Find

WHEN we find that some slight
w adjustment makes a marvel
Gus Improvement in a child we
wonder why we hadn't thought be-
fore to give the child this help. 4
A good example is the experience
Of Mrs. X. Erickson, 1873 West
Blvd, Los Angeles, Cal. She says:
MY little girl was doing fairly well
but | noticed she didn't eat like she
should and didn't seem to have much
energy. 4
II wanted to do something for her,
and my mother recommended CALI
fornia Fig Syrup, so I gave her some.
Mary improved SO much / wonder
why l didn't do something for her
stomach and bowels before. 1t re-
lieved her sluggishness, gave her q
good appetite and plenty Of energy"
To point up a child's appetite, in
crease energy and strength, assist
digestion and assimilation, there's
nothing more effective than pure
vegetable California Fig Syrup. Doc
tors advise its use to open the bowels
during colds and children's diseases,
or whenever bad breath, coated
tongue, headaches, l~istlessness, ETC.,
warn Of constipation.
The genuine always bears the name
California. So look for that when
buying. AT all drugstores.

IN THREE PARTS-PART THREE

MACABRE dinner of three in this
n lonely old vault Of a room that had
rung so often with voices and
laughter. The old woman at the head
of the table, slumped down a little in
her chair, shrunken, eyes bright under
her thick brows-was it so grotesque
to imagine her a figure Of fate? To
her right, Sandra, arms and breast
very white above the soft, dense black
of her dress. To her left, Glen Lathom,
dark, watchful and smiling.
Sandra studied him covertly at inter-
walls of that strange dinner. He had
changed. He had not changed. Older
looking? She could not decide. Her
brain felt incapable Of making any
decisions. 1t was SO queer to be sit
ting opposite Glen like this, a. they
had sat hundreds Of times, to watch

smile that made it strangely tender,

whats that? Eh?"
The slow process back to the library
again. 1t was like a little oasis OF
warmth and frowsy comfort in the
middle of this bleak desert of a house;
the dogs stretching themselves out
yawned contentedly, and presently
their their old mistress was doing
too. Sandra and Lathom watched her
head nod forward. Sleeping, she was
pathetic, but not without a sort OF
dignity, in spite of cheeks caved in
and mouth fallen a little open: a frail
indomitable old wreck of humanity
drifting along with Bridall's wrecked
grandeur.
Latham said gently.
Rather touching, isn't she? No chill
dren, I suppose. Who's the heir tc
all this?"
Il don't know. I remember a cousin
but Mrs. Bride hated her"
Il see. Pausing with the cigaret
unlit between his nervous, clever fin
gers, he glanced around the room, from
the sleeping old woman to the lovely
little Romney just above her head; tc
the litter of china and bric-a-brac
some good, all covered thickly with
dust; to the immense windows hung
with crimson rep behind which the
storm still squalled and skirmished.

She said in a low voice:
Eyes. I feel it."

Irish in memo, we wouldn't be likely

The silence of the house was in
tensified by the wind outside; a silence
hollow yet gently booming, as though
it were a shell still vibrant with
echoes of the human tide which hao
surged through it. The shell, a dusty
relic, was remembering the sea-. San

 The North End Y Midgets under the leadership of Fred DeLeone had charge of the forum. John Frances president of the club well comed the boys from the other North End clubs and introduced the s peaker of the evening. After the talk he called for questions and then Fred DeLeone thanked the speaker and expressed the appre- ciation of tn boys.
 MT Smith told in an interesting way of the first group of II men in London, England, who met with George Williams in that third story room who started the first Young Mems Christian association to spread the more purposeful Chris tian way of living among the work CTS of the drapery trade. The Y came across the Atlantic to Mon- treal in 1851. Tn the same year the first American Y. M. c. A. started at Boston. The first out standing general secretary Tn America was Robert McBurney of the 23rd street branch in New York.
 The first Y movement was pure fly a religious effort. Libraries. reading rooms, social and educa- tional programs came as enlarge ments. The gymnasium and the physical program then branched from the original movement. Herb described the Y of to-day and the Y in Waterbury with it's multiple

 ECONOMIC PLAN

Philadelphia, Nov 24-(UP)-A fve-point program, including repeal of the volstead law as an aid to re-establishment of economic pros- perity was submitted by Thomas s. Gates, president of the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania. in today's is- sue of the university publication, The Pennsylvanian. The former partner of J. P. Morgan 6 compa- ny, who became college president, believes the Volstead act should be repealed to allow larger per- centage of alcohol in light wines and beer, both as a means of reve- nue for the government and as a means of promoting temperance.
 The other four points of his plan are revision or cancellation of war debts; immediate adher- ance to the league of nations; sus- pension of the Sherman antitrust act and revision of the tariff.

 The accident occurred at Green lodge crossing on the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad.
 The train was enroute from New London to Boston. Cornell was ern- plOyed by a Providence, R. I. con- struction company engaged in building an overpass for the new circumferential highway. The To- comotive was so badly damaged in the collision that 1t was unable to proceed. The accident occurred when Cornell failed to see the ap- preaching train after another train had passed the crossing in the op- posite direction.

 The pictures to be shown are really worth while productions. Those who have seen "Girls About Town" at the Warner Bros.
