Matter That Housewives Do Not Seem
to Understand as Well as They
Should.
It Is unquestionably truo that house
kcopora would make hotter tea if they
knew more about tho toa plant it
self. Tho brlof explanation below re
veals tho causo of sleeplessness, head
aclioH, etc. '
Tea. drinking is said to bo on tho-In
crenso, and when properly made, tea
forms a wholesomo and refreshing
boverngo, but when mudo In that hap
hazard fashion so often demonstrated
in tho nverago homo, it rcsultB In tho
discomfort of headaches, sleeplessness
and nervo troubles of various kinds.
Whore, then, is tho sclonco in tea
making, you, will ask. There nro as
many ns 20 different Ingredients
found in ten, but thoso that concern
us chiefly nro thelne, ulknlold, tannin
and an aromatic oil. Thclno is tho
brain stimulant which causes tho ac
tion of tea in our cyBtom.
Strong ten contains a largo percent
age of thclno and can bo taken by
few in consequence. Tannin Is tho In
gredient which gives the bitter, ns
trlngont quality, which, if taken in ex
cess, proves harmful. Tho aromatic
oil, of course, gives tho flavor and
pleasant aroma which to a largo ex
tent determines tho valuo of tho tea.
Tho ono fact that must bo borne In
mind is that tannin will not dissolve
in hot water as quickly, as thclno, bo
that after an infusion of from four to
bIx minutes most of tho aromatic oil
nnd thelno will have been drawn out,
but llttlo tannin. This is what Is
wanted to produce a drink that is
wholesomo nnd aoothing. If allowed
to brow longer than six minutes far
too much tannin 1b extracted, and tho
partaker will Buffer In eomo way,
either with indigestion or some such
indisposition.
SAUSAGES AT THEIR BEST
At This Season, When They Are Most
Popular, They Are Worth Much
Time and Attention.
Take a tablcspoonful of seasoned
mnshed potato and form into shells;
then press uncooked sausago In each;
brush with tho beaten yolk of egg
nnd set on a greased pan in a hot oven
to cook; by tho time the potato is
heated through and browned the sau
sage will bo cooked. Garnish tho dish
on which the shells aro served with
parsley or watercress.
Brown the snusago and drain freo
from tho fat; then let become cold.
Shred crisp cabbage and season with
celery salt and mayonnaise and ar
range tho sausages in a circle, placing
a tablcspoonful of tho mayonnaise in
tho center.
Brown the sausages and nrrango
on a hot dish. Drain off part of the
fat from the pan and .add gradually
enough boiling water to make a
rloh brown gravy, stirring all of the
tlmo to loosen tho browned sedi
ment from the bottom of tho pan. Bo
careful that only enough water is
added to have the gravy rich and not
diluted so as to bo watery. Peppor
and salt can be added to suit tho in
dividual tasto.
Canned Corn Chowder.
Cut in Bmnll bits and try out a
piece of pork one and a half inches
square; add ono sliced onion and cook

Is first to dry it thoroughly in tho air.
Then dip It into boiling water and put
it through tho wringer. Each nrtlclo

stains.

uniform of boy scouts or scoutmasters a scheme which hnB caused nil kinds
of trouble to Bnden.Powoll. Ills genius found a way to algnnl by hidden
wlrolesa from tho very heart of London, to conceal stores of petrol for Gor
man aoroplanos in tho Scottish Highlands, to bribe road builders to con

Ho stops at no obstacle, and tho mcanB placed nt Ills disposal are practically
