CURIOUS FEARS OF SOLDIERS
One Dreads That His Charcoal Burner
Will Be Destroyed Although In
different as to Himself.
It Is extraordinary what curious
fears some soldiers have. One fighter
always dreads that his charcoal lire
will be destroyed by a shell. Ho al
ways places the burner In the most
protectell part of the trench, but re
mains quite Indifferent in regard to
Ills own personnl safety.
Another extraordinary fear of a sol
dier at the front Is that of having his
bootlaces untied. Nothing else has
terrors for him, from bayonet fighting
to asphyxiating gases. But he Is quite
certnln that If his bootlaces are loose
ho will trip over them and break his
neck. He always examines his lnces
to see If they are properly fastened.
Another soldier who has been through
the thick of the fighting Is terribly
frightened of going through a wood,
and would rather walk miles round It
than half a mile through It. lie has
the fear that some day a tree will sud
denly fall and crush him.
Many soldiers have n horror of los
ing their Identity disks, or of being
unidentified If they are killed, and
burled in a nameless grave. One man
Is known to carry little scraps of paper
In every pocket, giving his name and
regiment, so that his body may be rec
ognized if he is killed.
The Hemstitched Handicap.
Oldfoge Doesn't Swlftpace's wife
object to his staying out till two or
three every nlght7
Newfangle She would If she knew
It. So far he has always managed to
get home first. Judge.
Many a woman who thinks herself a
beauty never succeeds In convincing
her mirror.
For Building
Up Quickly
probably the very
best food you can
select is
Grape-Nuts.
It contains the
mineral salts and
energy values all
the nutriment of
whole wheat and
barley digests
easily and quickly,
and the flavor is
delicious.
j "There's a Reason"
for
Grape-Nuts
I
A generous supply of vegetables nnd
fruits arc of tlio greatest Importance
for the normal development of the
body and of all Its functions. Slier-man.
LOW-COST DISHES.
A most satisfying dish to be used'
as a main dish for luncheon or dinner
Is macaroni. In
combination with a
cupful of left-over
roast, well minced,
or a half cupful of
grated cheese with
either white sauce
or a sauce mado by
using the broth
made from two or
three of the steak bones, with proper
seasoning, such as onion juice, a bit of
chopped celery or parsley, this dish
may bo varied In several ways and
still prove good. Tomato sauce Is
another woll-llked combination, also.
The macaroni should bo cooked until
tender, then place a layer of It In a
buttered baking dish, then sprinkle
over It a little chopped onion nnd bits
of meat, or two or three hard-cooked
eggs, then n generous covering of
white snpee, and If the eggs nro used,
a little cheese adds to the flavor, but
with moat this Is not needed.
Bean Fricassee. Boil n pound of
limn beans or simmer them until ten
der, as boiling Is not advisable for
dried beans. Drain them. Brown a
tablespoonful of butter In n pan and
ndd the beans, stirring until thorough
ly seasoned. Add a little minced
pnrsley, salt and popper. Stir In a
cupful of cream or milk and let It stew
for a few minutes; then sonson with
mushroom or tomato catchup and a
little vinegar.
Rice Espanol. Cook a cupful of rice
In a cupful of actively boiling wnter
for 15 minutes, then drain. Slice two
medium-sized onions, two green pep
pers nnd two cupfuls of stewed toma
toes. Put the mixture In a buttered
baking dish, ndd salt and pepper,
sprlnfcje with bread crumbs and bake
covered for 20 minutes.
Nut Loaf. Take n pint of bread
crumbs, nnd mix well with two table
spoonfuls of melted butter; add a tea
spoonful of salt, a half cupful of nut
meats, a dash of pepper nnd some
poultry dressing, with two eggs beaten
light. Form Into a loaf and bake In a
shallow pan a half hour. Serve with
tomato sauce.
Rico served hot with grntcd cheese
makes a good substitute for potatoes,
and buttered rice with minced parsley
will take the place of parsley potatoes.
Cucumbers are usually served fresh
and crisp, but are excellent when
stewed or baked. A well-seasoned
cream sauce or n Ilollandalso Is espe
cially good with the cooked cucum
ber. Cheese Is n most nutritive food
which wo nre slow to appreciate. As n
meat substitute It has no equal, being
concentrated food without wnste.
DUMPLINGS.
Men are only boys grown tall.
Hearts don't change much after all.
Dumplings may be either sweet or
seasoned to servo with meats. The
sweet dumplings are too
numerous to mention
Fig Dumplings. Sift
two cupfuls of flour with
n quarter of a teaspoon
ful of salt, one teaspoon
ful of baking powder,
four ounces of suet finely
chopped and rubbed Into the flour,
two tablespoonfuls of sugar and u
cupful of chopped figs. Mix all to
gether nnd add sufficient milk to make
a stiff dough. Shape Into dumplings
and drop into a pnn of boiling water;
l)o!l for an hournnd three-quarters.
Serve hot with maple sirup.
Lemon Dumplings. Mix two cup
fuls of bread crumbs with a quarter of
a pound of finely chopped suet, add
half a cupful of brown sugar, a little
salt and the grated rind of a lemon.
Moisten with two wcll-bonten eggs
nnd the Juice of a lemon ; mix well
and put Into squall buttered molds,
cover with buttered paper and steam
one hour. Turn them out on a hot
dish, sift over them n little sugar and
serve with a custard sauce.
Farina Dumplings. L'ut a cupful of
milk Into a double boiler, add two ta
blespoonfuls of butter and a pinch of
ult ; when it begins to boll stir In
enough fnrlnn to thicken and allow It
to cook for ten minutes, stirring nil
the time. Remove from the fire and
when cold add two well-beaten eggs,
a little nutmeg, half n cupful of
blanched and chopped almonds nnd n
little lemon Juice. Allow It to become
cold, then make Into balls and cook
In hot soup n quarter of an hour.
Delicious Dumplings. Sift a cupful
of Hour with two teaspoonfuls of bak
ing powder nnd a little salt, add n
cupful of milk and a beaten egg and
more flour to make a drop batter.
Drop Into tho boiling hot soup by tea
spoonfuls nnd cook Just eight minutes
without raising the cover.
Oatmeal Dumplings. Add a quarter
of a pound of chopped suet to one
cupful of fine ontmeal, one chopped
onion, a tablespoonful of chopped
parsley and salt and poppor; mix with
cold wnter to form n stiff dough, wrap

pluco the dumplings In It nnd tie, loi.f-
Ing room to swell. Plunge Into u dish

hours.

With prices as high ns tho moon,
And a purse so very small
And hungry folks all '

noon.
SICK ROOM DRINKS.
"Something to drink" Is the Impera
tive need of all who are 111 even more
Insistent than the call of
hunger. The wasted tis
sues In Ulucss cry out for
a drink and good, pure,
cool water not only
quenches thirst but re
duces temperature where
fever is present.-Liquids
of various kinds are so
easily taken and so welcome that sus
taining foods may be thus given to
those suffering from various causes.
In Illness tho attending physlclnn
should be consulted as to the kind of
drink to give, as serious results often
happen from unwise Judgment. Ono
young man lost his life by taking n
drink of grape Juice when ho was well
past the crisis In typhoid fever, ac
cording to tho testimony of his fam
ily. One cannot use too great care In
treatment of convalescence. Bever
ages ns well ns everything else pre
pared for the Invalid should bo pre
sented In the most acceptable form.
Even well trained housemaids fall to
give the right touch to foods. The
thin glass, the pretty plate, the dolly
which accompanies a well prepared
and cooling drink Is very Important.
Acid drinks made from fruit Juices
nro especially refreshing to fever pa
tients. Lemon nnd orangeade are the
most commonly used, as these fruits
are found everywhere. Other fruits
may be used separately or In com
bination with others, ns raspberry and
currants, form n most delightful shrub,
to bottle for winter use. Lemonade
made In the usual way and to which a
quarter of a cupful of grape Juice Is
added makes a most refreshing drink.
A half cupful of pineapple Juice or
grated plnenpple gives variety to a
glass of lemonade. A pinch of sodn
added to lemonade, stirring It thorough
ly, will be a good substitute for effer
vescing water.
Egg lemonndes are so well known
that It hardly seems worth while to
spenk of them, yet they are very valu
able. An egg may bo digested this
way and given often when other food
will be refused. There are other drinks
like cocon, chocolate and nllnimlnous
beverages which are all cooling and
nourishing as well.
In a family of growing children,
food that bulldB muscle and brain Is
necessary. Heat and energy makers
are also required.
THINGS WORTH THINKING
ABOUT.
The present high price of flour Is
bringing us back to tho coarser grains
and foods. We rend
every day that half
the Ills of humanity
nre caused from
Improper food and
eating, resulting In
liver nnd stomach
troubles. These are
the causes of In
digestion, constlpn
tlon, lack of assimilation of food and
a clogged condition of the alimentary
caual.
Tho value of bran nnd whole-whent
brend Is not appreciated by ono In ten
thousand. The portion of the wheat
which contains the mineral matter,
the "growth determinant" about which
we arc hearing so much these days,
aro sifted out and fed to the farm
animals.
Those who have Indigestion should
not combine acid fruits or foods of uny
kind containing ncid with starch, as
this causes fermentation. To eat food
which needs long chewing Is very ad
vantageous ; sloppy, soft foods encour
age bad habits In mastication. The
starchy foods need to bo well mixed
with the snllva in order to have a per
fect digestion. Starch that has not
been well Insalivated sets up formentu
tlon In the stomach. Whole wheat
brend Is more solid than white bread,
hence It Is better masticated aud tho
saliva penetrates tho starch cells. Tho
use of vegetable oils for shortening In
stead of animal fats Is also an advan
tage, as the heat does not affect them
as It does such fats, as butter or lard.
Take a spoonful of bran in your
breakfast food, you will not know It
Is there, and you have presented your
stomach aud Intestines with a splendid
scrub brush which will clean and
heal any inflamed section of tho
alimentary canal. It Is never wiso to
change u diet entirely nnd suddenly
unless under n physician's orders, for
habit Is a hnrd master. Going with
out a meal or two each week is a
gof.a custom, and economical. This
will apply to well nourished and plump
people who have plenty of reserve.
Fasting and prnyir should not he a
forgotten privilege, as It so commonly
has been In the nenr past.
Careful Tillage, Good Manage
ment and a Beneficent Soil.
Rending tho reports of the managers
of the chartered banks In Cnnndn, one
Is struck by the wonderful showing
that they hnve mnde during the past
two or three years. They aro careful
In their statements, and while they
attribute the success that they have
met with, together with that which has
followed other lines of business, they
arc careful to emphasize tho fact that
the condition of big business may not
continue. On tho other hand, they
point out that tho material and funda
mental sourco of wealth Is tho farm.
While other lines of business may have
their setbacks, and while care nnd
scrupulous care, will have to be exer
cised to keep an even balance, there
Is but little risk to the farmer who on
economic nnd studied lines will carry
on his branch of Industry and endeavor 1
to produce what the world wants not
only todny, but for n long distance Into
the future, with n greater demand than
ever In tho past.
Speaking recently before n Canadian '
bank hoard at Its annual meeting, the
vice president, once n farmer himself,
said:
"Tho fnrm Is tho chief sourco of i
wealth. Wo have now three transcon
tinental railways with branches run- j
nlng through thousands of miles of i
the very best undeveloped agricultural'!
land In tho world. In tho natural i
course of things, these must attract
Immigration. The products of tho farm
are now commanding the highest I
prices ever known, nnd In my opinion '
even nftor tho end of tho wnr, high j
prices for foodstuffs must continue tg
prevnll. With the mechnnlcnl nppll
onces now available for farm work, tho !
farmer needs no considerable supply
of extra capital, but should be helped
to the extent needed upon good secur
ity. The food supply of tho world Is
short, the demnnd Is likely to Increase
rather than decrensc. Development
of mines, extension of fnctorles nnd
the reconstruction of devnstntcd Eu
rope must nil cnll for supplies for the
workers. On tho whole, tho fnrmer
hns been helped rnther than hurt by
tho wnr, nnd will continue to be, nt
least for n long time to come."
Many men of authority nnd Intelli
gence support what tho vice president
has said, and their statements arc
borne out by the facts that readily pre
sent themselves. The different grain
producing countries of Europe have
been robbed of tho mnn power that de
veloped their agriculture, the farms
Have been devastated and laid waste.
Full and complete rellnnco will have to
be placed on the United States and
Canada, and from what wo see todny,
It will tnke tho combined forces of
these two countries to come anywhere
nenr meeting tho cry thnt will go out
for food. Tho wnrnlngs nnd appeals
sent out by tho heads of these two
countries nre none tqo soon nor too
urgent. Therefore, It becomes nec
essary for those who qan produce to
exert themselves. Secure land, rent It,
buy It. Get It somewhere, somo way,
and hnve It operated. The Canadian
Government, sending out Its appeal, Is
not selfish In this mnttcr. Thousands
of acres In the United States nwnlt
the tiller's efforts, nnd none of It
should be Idle. Canada, too, offers
wonderful advantages, with Its free
lands and Its low-priced lands, to those
desirous of helping the nation, and Im
proving their own condition at tho
snme time. Many are taking advan
tage of this wonderful opportunity.
