The Great Amorlrnii InNtKudnn In
Peril.
Scientific Inquiry diligently pursued has
discovered a hitherto unsuspected source ol
peril to the pupils of the public schools. In
seeking the causes of recurrent Indigestion ,
colic , dyspepsia , drowsiness and nervous Ir
ritability among the children attending these
Institutions , relates the New York Mall , It
baa been ascertained that the burden of re
sponsibility Is chargeable to plo and the
devastating effects ot the plo habit.
The Board of Education has therefore beer
called upon to abolish pie from the school
curriculum and from the lunch baskets ol
school children. It is seriously represented
that plo Is an obstruction to the progress
of education , and that until It Is totally
eliminated the schools can never fully per
form the Important work for which they arc
designed. This revolutionary movement In
volves no reflection upon the moral Integrity
of tbo modern pie. It concerns itself entirely
with the baleful effects of the pie habit upon
the physical nnd mental condition of these
of Its Juvenile victims who go to school. It
la proposed to rescue these Innocents from
the withering embrace of the great' pis spec
ter , to banish Indigestion and doubt from
their fair joung lives , and to make sute
that all their vvaja may bo free from sorrow
row and biliousness all ot which , It Is pro
foundly believed , can be most directly ac
complished by a formal rule forbidding them
to Indulge In plo during school hours.
Fortunately , however , this radical reform
la aimed only at the ostentatious but decep
tive plo of commerca , the deep-chested ,
brown-skinnod pie ot the lunch counter and
the street peddler. It is the mysterious
roady-mado pie of unknown ancestry that
doea all the harm. Gloss 10 every school
in the city is some enterprising dealer who
day by day hands out alluring wedges of
cold , eoggy , Irresponsible plo in exchange
lor the pennies of the pupils. Day by day
thesa unsuspecting children consume chaotic
masses of half-baked pastry and fruit until
indulgence becomes a habit and habit makes
dyspepsia a household word in the homes
of their anxious parents. The revolt of the
school authioritlea against the anonjmous pic
Is all right. The undated pie , bearing neither
letters of credit nor a clean bill of health ,
must go. It Is a threat of stomach ache
mental laEeltudo and nervous deprsEslon to
the vvholo army of school children. It must
bo outlawed , smashed and permanently ex
terminated In the Interest of Juvenile health
ind educational progress.
Meinwhlle the home-made plo will retain
Its honored place in the economy of the
household , a thing of unfailing charm and
goodness. It is beautiful and wholesome
If It bo the old-fashioned apple plo In hunt
ing cases , not a single germ of Indigestion
lurks beneath Its russet crusts. If It be a
lalnty custard plo of the opcn-faco variety ,
Lhero Isn't a hint of stomach echo In all its
; olden contents. The home-made plo has a
reputation of Its own ta sustain. . It Is hon-
: st , frank and modest , never pretending to
; o what it Is not and too upright to deceive
; vcn a child as to Its character and conatl
.utlon. Against the old-fashioned homc-
nado plo , Including Us variations In the
'orm of tarts and oven "dlpsles , " neither
ichool reformers nor social agitators dare
o protest. It Is an Institution which is as
Irmly established as our laws It would
irobably have gene into the constitution It-
iclf if It had not already been so largely ab-
lorbcd by the makers of that Immortal In-
tiument.

"And wo had the boat apple sauce , " &ali !
a young girl , when telling ot a visit to c
dear old aunt.
"Wherein did It differ from all other apple
plo sauce ? " the mother queried quizzically ,
For the mother thought sha know all thrc
vvas to know about apple sauce.
"Well , I don't know1 said the young per
son , "but It was the best , and she put tlii-
sugar In It before she cooked It , and It wae
so different from any other. " '
It so happened , relates the Household ,
that the mother had occasion to make eomc
apple sauce for tea , nnd not to be outdone
by the auntie , however worthy she might be ,
the mother also put the sugar In before shs
cooked the apple , but the j-oung pel son said
It wasn't a bit like auntto's.
Now , I happened to know Just how thla
auntlo really did make her apple sauce , and
will tell you , besides giving you another
way , too.
Pool tart apples and qviwtcr them ; If veiy
hrgo cut the quarters once In two. Have
two quarts when peeled"and put them Into
a granlto' kettle ; pour over them two cupa
of sugar and set on the back part of the
range- , when there la n fire lu It. Let them
cook elowly until perfectly clear. Cover
them cloaely.
I didn't say anything about the water ?
No , and that Is Just where the difference
comes In ; the apples are cooked In their
o\vn Juice- , and this combined with the sugar ,
makes a rich and delicious syrup , which will
almost Jell when cold.
Don't ba afraid of tholr burning to the
kettle , though they will if put over a hot
fire at first ; It will not take long tor enough
Julco to exude to cook them , and they maybe
bo left whole. They must bo cooked until
they look clear and translucent.
For the other reclpo , use red apples , if
you can. Cut up a couple of quarts of ap
ples , or have a cotiplo of quarts when they
are cut. Do not pare them. Put them Into
a small atone Jar. Put over them two big
cufAS of augar and cover closely ; p'aco In
the oven and lot them remain four hours ,
at least. The even should not bo very hot.
The apples will como out looking as red as
rubbles clear through , nn < l tasting so de
licious they would tempt even a non-applo
sauoo lover to try them.
