Tho question has often been naked: Was thero any earlier raco In occupa tion of tho area In Africa at present held by tho Hantus? In Man W. II. Beech reports that In tho Klkuyu coun try somo ancient pottery has been said to bo tho work of a peoplo called Gum- ba, who displaced tho Miathoachlana, cannibal dwarfs. Theso Miathoachlana are now be lieved to bo earth-gnomes, skilled in tho art of Iron working. Mr. Beech, with somo amount of plausibility, sug gestB that they were possibly bush men, pygmies, or both, and that thoy wero a local Indigenous raco of tho stono ago who used flint implements often found In tho Klkuyu country. Tho Gumba are said to havo mado pottery and to have taught tho Klkuyu tho art of smelting. They may havo been pro-Bantau Hamite invaders; but of this thero is no evldenco and tho legend may tend to show that tho first discovery of Iron was mado In Africa. A Lone Vulgarian.

Except for thoso who are working at hard labor a simple breakfast of fruit, corcal, an egg and toast or a bit of bacon and a cup of cof feo Is a sufficient and satisfying meal. A nice wny to treat a cercnl that Is cooked and will bo served cold Is to put It, while cold, through tho potato rlcer. When wanted, It is then in an attractive form to servo. Corn Toast. Cut Btalo bread in slices and toast. Cook three table spoonfuls of butter with one table Bpoonful of llnoly chopped onion three minutes, stirring constantly. Add two tablesiwonfuls of flour and stir until well blended, then pour on gradually, while stirring, two cupfuls of thin cream.

Again heat to the boiling point, nnd simmer two minutes. Arrange on tho toast which has been buttered and placed on a hot platter. Pour over the corn mixture and servo hot. Creamed Salt Codfish. Thero is no more wholesome dish for any meal thnn creamed fish. Pick the fish In small pieces; there should be three fourths of a cupful. Cover with luke warm water and soak. Drain, put Into a saucepan, add 2 tablespoonfuls of butter, stirring until the butter Is melted and mixed with the llsli. Sprinkle with two tablespoonfuls of flour and stir until mixed; then pour on gradually, while stirring, ono cup ful of scalded milk. Brlug to tho boiling point and let boil for two min utes.

Slip a raw egg in each, season with salt, popper, butter, grated cheese and a little chopped boiled ham. Pour in hot water to surround the dishes, cover and bako until tho eggs are set. Sauted Tripe. Wlpo fresh honey comb tripe, cut In pieces for serving, and parboil ten minutes, using equal parts of milk and water to cover tripe. Drain, season and roll in flour. Snutc In butter. NEW WAYS WITH OLD FOODS. A most delicious ice cream may be made with a cup of grape Juice, two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice, a pint of thin cream and sugar to s w o o t e n , depending upon tho sweetness of tho grapo juice. Freeze as usual. Tho beautiful watermelon pink is not tho least of the attrac tinns of this frozen dish. Sponge Pudding. This is not new, but so good that it bears repeating yery often. Stir a third of a dupful of flour Into a cupful of -milk; when smooth set into boiling water and cook. When cool add a half-tablespoon ful of melted butter aud tho yolks of three eggs, well beaten, with a fourth of a cupful of sugar.

Cover closely and bako four hours, basting jvery half-hour and turning tho meat jnco during tho cooking. Servo with a sauce mado from tho gravy In the pan trained and thickened with butter ind flour. A pretty way to servo any gelatin jalad Is to mold it In a ring mold and turn out on u bed of lettuce, filling tho center with tho creamy, thick dressing which will be served with the salud an a lettuce leaf.

It la far better to serve a small holplng and glvo n second ono than that good food should be wusted. It is usually In tho minor economies which nro often beneath tho notice where the wise Iiouro- wlfo keeps within her expenses. Ono housekeeper who has tried tho mothod of co-operation with hor cook In hold ing to a cortnln yearly tnblo expense has paid her $10 extru yearly, and finds they havo oven better food, for tho cook takes a personal Interest In both having attractive food and keep ing within her limit. ThlB Is a method worthy of trial by other progressive women, nnd, by the wny, It koeps the cook at least a year to try out tho mothod. Ox-Jolnts With Vegetables. Two ox-jolnts havo enough meat on them to furnish flavor to qulto a dlHh of vegetables. Cut two ox-tnlls In pieces at the joints, put into a saucepan, cover with water and boll llvo mln utes, drain nnd sauto In butter, to which a sliced onion has been added.

Season well with salt, pepper and add a little parsley. Servo with a brown gravy poured over the ox talis and vegetables. Hamburg Steak With Cabbage. Take Arm outside leaves of cabbago, wash nnd drain. Proparo tho steak by seasoning with salt, pepper, a pinch ol ground cloves, nutmeg and a little onion juice. Uso half pork sausago In tho meat combination. Form balls and cook In a llttlo hot fat until well browned over, then wrap each cake In a cabbage leaf, skowor with tooth picks nnd place in tho frying pan, add lng a lltilo boiling water, cover closely and simmer for a half hour, or until tho cabbago la tender. Serve with a gravy poured around tho cakes. To- mato sauco Is very good as an accom panlraent to this dish. SOME WAYS WITH DATES. Dates are considered in most home? as an occasional dainty, as wo con sider confectionery, yet ten cents a pound dates aro a cheap energy-producing food, ono which gives six times the re turns per pound as good beofstcak. In many coun tries dates, ilgs and black bread arp tho only foods eaten, yet the people aro strong, sturdy and able to endure much hardship. Another advantage of tho dates over meat Is thai thoy keep Bplcndldly, If kept from Insects. Thero nro ninny tempting ways of serving dates, tho manner most common of stuffing thorn with various things like nuts, fondant, cheese, Is commendable, but thero uro moro and better wnys of serving thoni to our families. Delicious Sandwich Filling. Tuko two cupfuls of date paste, which Is dates put through a moat chopper, and a cup of peanut butter, rubbed BtnooUi. Mnkes a most appetizing filling for sandwiches. Dates with various cooked cereals nro always liked, and aro especially good for growing children. Glvo them such fruits as flgB, dates and prunes and thoy will not caro to make caudy orgies which will leave them 111 for days. Another good combination for dato filling for sandwiches Is this: Two oupfulB of dntes, a half cupful of lemon juice, n half cupful of peanut butter and a dash of Bait. Grind through tho meat chopper and mix well. Keep In Jelly glasseB, cover with paraffin pnper. Dates In buked custard, dateB In tapioca and dntes as filling for cook ies, dates as plo and cako filling are somo of tho delicious dishes which may bo prepared at home. Dates, upplcs, celery and nuts make good salads. Dates cooked with rlco as a pud ding: Add to a quart of milk a cupful of stoned dates and a quarter of a cup ful of rice. Sweeten nnd buko In a slow oven. mill by which the butter is churned. And tnko notice, boys ho docs all these tilings without pay, and nover asks for a holiday.

FOX-HUNTERS IN THE WAR Thousands of Men Who Enjoyed That Sport In Britain Are Now at tho Front. Waterloo, according to tho duko of Wellington, was won on tho playing fields of Eton. Should Britain omcrgo triumphant from tho prcsont conflict wo may And somcono rising to claim that tho campaign in Flanders was won in tho English shires. Tho shires nro tho headquarters of fox-hunting, which most humanitarians denounce Qeorgo nernnrd Shaw, for example has no words strong enough to con demn it with. Mr. Jorrocks, tho hero of a sporting novel, describing fox hunting as "war without Its guilt and only 25 per cent of Its danger." It has to bo admitted, however, that they who follow tho hounds havo answered magnificently to their, country's call. Thoro nro, It proves, ICO mastors of hounds with tho British colors, 3,000 members of hunts and 1,500 hunt serv ants. To them must bo ndded tho of ficers of tho regular army who nro ac customed to rldo to hounds,' llkowlso numboring somo thousands. Tho total Is an impressive one. It suggests that tho real attraction of this sport may bo that It is, as Jorrocks said, "a sort of war." Reminded Him. Mr. Highbrow, who posed as an nrbl ter of taste, looked round tho tiers of boxes ut tho opera houso tho other evening and said: "I suppose, if a woman's shoulders nro very bcnutltul, sho has a right, a moral right, to wear a very decollate gown. At tho samo tlmo " Mr. Highbrow chucklod and shook his head. "At tho samo tlmo," ho resumed, "tho fashlonnblo woman of today re minds mo of tho prophet." "How so?" Bnld his interlocutor. "How so?" "Sho hasn't much on 'or In her own country," wa3 tho smiling reply. AT THE FIRST SIGNS Of Falling Hair Get Cutlcura. It Works Wonders. Trial Free.
