The Kind You Have Always Bought LOSING APPENDIX NEW LENTEN IDEA OF OHIO’S WOMEN Cleveland, Ohio, March 7.—Enter Lent, retire milady of fashion to her home, there to throw out the devil with prayer—that was the formula before the advent of those days of efficiency and science. Now It Is revised to enter Lent retire milady of fashion with a few social ac quaintances, mayhap, to a prlvats hos pital ward, there te have cut out that Impish appendix, and convalesce during the Lenten lull In the eoclal whirl. There are 78 appendixless patients In local hospitals, received since Ash Wednesday. Three Went Together. Now there are Mrs. Mlnnjs Setsor, Mrs. Thomas Reaaer, and Mrs. Dwight Sheets, young matrons and social lead ers of Ashland, who denied themselves their appendices and are doing Lenten penance on three white cote, side by side In the Huron Road hospital. Mrs. Reaser and Mrs. Sstser both had experlencsd attacks of appendicitis. Dr. D. L. Moon urrsd tham to undsrgo an operation In the Interval before a possible another attack, but they ware Just too busy filling their social duties. Then came Lent, and the three met at the last functlen before Ash Wed nesday. They said: "Why not? It wouldn't be at all un pleasant, we three together." And now they are convalescing rap idly and will be back In Ashland before Easter, fully recuperated and ready to begin all over again. Not An Isolated Case. This Isn’t an Isolated case—It’s Just an example. Even the eminent ethics bound surgeon would admit there are "seasons” for operating—that Is, there Is a noticeable Increase In the number of operations. "It’s the wisest course to operate during the Interval, when the system Is more able to stand It and no worries complicate the case," said Dr. Qsorge Upson. "Casas of persons taking tha oppor tunity for an operation when home, so cial, or business duties are lax are not Infrequent,” said Dr. H. P. Blggar. “There Is the fear that they might have an attack when the right surgeon may not be at hand or other conditions would not be so favorable.” FRESH MILK AND CREAM FROM ALMONDS. If Your Milkman la Lata Or Raitaa the Prioe Too High, Just Grind Up a Few More Almonds and Get Supply. From the New York World. Why worry about the price of milk? Here Is a very simple and Interesting way* In which to make good fresh milk and cream at home from crushed almonds and a little water. The method la not a chemical one, but consists merely In the mechanical admixture of distilled water with crushed and finely ground sweet al monds. Practically the only difference be tween cow’s milk and that made of al monds Is that the cow*» milk contains ani mal casein, while the artificial milk con tains vegetable casein. The latter will produce a good cream, and If allowed to stand some time will become sour. It may also be coagulated by the addition of vinegar or acetic acid. When com bined with grape sugar, It Is capable of generating some extraordinary organic substances. The artificial milk may be used with tea and coffee in the same way that cow's milk is used. To make the milk, first buy half a pound of sweet almonds—the Valencia, which Is cheaper than the Jordan almond, will give just as good results. The skin of the almonds may be removed by scalding the nuts in boiling water, and slipping the skin off. The almonds should then be placed in a wooden chopping bowl and chopped as finely as possible. Take about two ounces of the chopped almonds, and place them In a mortar with a small quantity of distilled water. Then grind the chopped almonds, adding water occasionally, until aoout 13 ounces of wa ter has been used. The longer the grind ing Is continued, the thicker and richer the milk will be. Now take a piece of cheese cloth about 12 inches wide by 24 Inches long and rinse It in clean water, and after wring ing It as dry as possible, fold It doublet over the top of a pitcher, and pour the contents of the mortar through the cloth into the pitcher. The milk may be squeezed through the cloth by wringing It gently, but care should be taken to pre vent any of the larger almond particles from being forced through the meshes of the cloth. If some of the milk thus produced 1s set aside for three or four hours, a thick layer of cream will be found on the surface. If too much water has been used in forming the milk, it may be necessary to add a lit tle sugar to sweeten it. The artificial milk has a slight almond flavor when taken clear, but this is practically lost when used with tea, coffee, or cocoa. The color of the cream produced is quite pale. Half a pound of almonds will make three pints of milk. “Why Is History Rewritten?" From the North American Review. History must be rewritten because his torians are learning to distinguish be tween different forms of the imagination and to appreciate the value of some of its phases in all historical production. The term imagination has often connoted lit erary imagination—that form that has given rise to the highest types of litera ture found in poetry and romance. It Is self-evident that this variety of Imagina tion must bring discredit on every work of history where It is used—poetry soars aloft while history penetrates below the j surface. The occasional attempt to use literary Imagination in historical litera- ' turo has led to the hasty condemnation of j every form of the Imagination. At times even the use of the historical imagination has been condemned. The great narra tive histories, like those of Macaulay and Motley, have succeeded, through the use of the historical imagination, in reani mating men and making them again act ors In the theater of life. It is in large ! part due to this form of imagination that the historical novel owes its success. But 1 histories written with the aid of the his- | torical imagination have been, after all, ! but histories written ‘‘in the flat." They must be rewritten "in the round" through the use of the critical Imagination. It Is this imagination that makes alive not sim ply men, but abstractions; it is the Im agination that enables the historian to understand allusions and suggestions; to look below the surface and to see the rec ords of history in everything about him; to see in the marriage ceremony, in fu neral customs, in the oath of office, In I viva voce voting, In all institutions and ! customs, the records of what men have done since the world began. The attempt to write history with the aid of the lit erary imagination has produced a hybrid that has been neither literature nor his tory, as is illustrated In Gayarre’s "Flow ers of History;" the use of the historical imagination has given up a panorama of i the past; but, while the pictures drawn have been vivid and even truthful, they | have been but pictures and have lacked j the reality of life Itself, History must be rewritten through the aid of the construc I tive Imagination if the past la to live ! again.
