Dr. Annin Otto Leuschner, director of the Btudents’ observatory at the University of California, has been awarded the highest honor which an astronomer may hope to gain, the Wataon medal. The award was made by the National Academy of Science, and the medal, it may be said, has ! been conferred on only seven scien tists. The award is in recognition of Doctor Leuschner’s years of brilliant and laborious investigations, and for his original methods, which have proved of great value to celestial me chanics. He attained international reputation through evolving a new method for the study of the move ments of heavenly bodies and in the determination of their orbits. Doctor Leuschner is a native of Detroit, a graduate of the Royal Wilhelms-Gym na3ium, Cassel, Germany, an A. B. of % the University of Michigan, and a graduate of Lick observatory, Uni versity of California. He later studied in Berlin. Since 1907 he has been pro fessor of astronomy at the university, where his work has attracted such world-wide attention. He is a mem ber of various scientific bodies in this country and abroad, and has written many papers on astronomical sub jects. A woman’s watch is usually more ornamental than useful. MAKING LIVER TASTY PROPERLY COOKED, MEAT IS DE LICIOUS, AND CHEAP. How to Prepare It With Its Tradition al Accompaniment, Bacon—Ex cellent When Baked—Two Kinds of Cravy. Liver is savory and it is not heavy two points most decidedly in its favor at this season. There are many ways of cooking liver and for that reason it might very well make its appearance on our tables more often than it does simply fried and served with bacon. Moreover, there are two good kinds of liver: Calf’s liver and lamb's liver. And the lamb’s liver, although much cheaper than the other kind, is de licious when properly cooked. So, when the price of calf's liver is pro hibitive or when it is not to be had even for a price, try lamb's liver for a change. To begin with, the best way to cook liver and bacon is to wipe off the slices of liver with a damp cloth and then to drop them, with two slices of lean bacon to every one of liver, into smoking hot fat in a deep kettle. Let them brown like crullers, remove them for a moment to a piece of brown paper, then put them on a hot platter (liver and bacon together), sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve. If a gravy is desired, spread a little melted butter sauce, well sea soned. with the liver. Another way of preparing liver Is to brown slices of it in a skillet and, as soon as they are browned on both sides, to remove them to a baking pan, dredging each slice with flour and sprinkling with salt and pepper. Cover the pan and bake for three-quarters of an hour. To prepare liver with cream gravy, slice the liver a third of an inch thick, drop for a second into boiling water and slash the edges of each slice a few times to keep them from curling. Then brown in hot fat in a skillet. Remove the slices of liver to a saucepan and cook till yellow r sliced onion in the fat and then add it to the liver with enough cream to cover. Simmer for ten minutes, cov ered, and then serve, seasoned with j pepper and salt. Another way to cook liver with bacon is to soak the slices for 20 min utes, then to dry them and roll them in flour, and then to brown them in the fat in which slices of bacon have been cooked crisp. Then pour ofT most of the fat, add hot water and flour to the rest and pour over the liver for gravy. Baked liver is good. To prepare it have a pound and a half of liver in one piece. Wipe it with a damp cloth and trim it neatly and then put in some strips of salt pork with a larding needle across the top. Bake in a hot oven for half an hour, basting often, and serve with a brown gravy made in the baking pan. Still another method is to add a lit tle lemon juice to the liver gravy. This gives it a piquant flavor that is ! decidedly tempting. The lemon is added to the fat, after most of it is poured away, and then flour and but ter rolled together are added, and then enough water to make gravy of the right consistency. Killarney Salt Cod. Soak one pound of salt cod in water to cover four or five hours, peel and slice about one-fourth inch thick eight or nine potatoes (according to size oi family). Try out four or five strips of 3alt pork, peel and slice a few onions and fry in pork fat, but do not brown Cook potatoes and salt cod separately, straining the water off the fish twice 3n your onions dredge about two table spoonfuls of flour, stirring briskly, a little salt and pepper and the watei directly off the fish, till of the right consistency; then add one teaspoon ful of table sauce and let cook one minute. In the meantime place your j potatoes and fish on a platter and ; pour onions and gravy over all. This | iB very tasty. Fish au Vinaigre. Boil shad, mackerel or white fish in salted water. When cooked, put on dish, pour over it two cupfuls of vine gar while the fish is hot. When it is cold, pour the vinegar into a bowl, add to it two teaspoonfuls of tomato catchup, two tablespoonfuls Worces tershire sauce, and salt and pepper to taste. Pour all of this upon the fish. When ready to serve, chop fine two hard-cooked eggs, one small onion, two tablespoonfuls each of parsley and celery, one boiled beet, and spread this mixture over the fish. Huevos en Espanol. Empty a can of tomatoes in a frying pan. Thicken with bread and add two or three small green peppers and an onion sliced fine. The peppers may be chopped. Add a little buttei and salt to taste. Let this simmer gently until the flavors are well mixed Then break on top the number of eggs desired. Dip the simmering tomato mixture over the eggs until they are cooked. The eggs may be served, re jecting the sauce. Mexicans strain the sauce a bit and serve with the egg on thick toast. Potted Minced Lamb. Grind enough cold roast lamb to fill three cups; cook well six or seven sticks of macaroni; put one cupful cold stewed tomatoes in buttered bak ing dish, add minced lamb and maca roni, pepper, salt and three table spoonfuls of gravy. Cover with crumba and bits of butter and bake. Lamb Soup. Cook two pounds lamb in cold water until tender. Remove meat and re serve one-half cupful of the broth to be used in making bechamel Bauce. Then add an onion, carrots, barley, thickening and seasoning to taste. New Use for Parsley. If when making soups or stews yon find the flavor of some one vegetable too strong, you can neutralize it by adding a sprig or two of parsley.

Jobless Turn to Gold Mining. How to provide for the army of the unemployed, thrown out of work be cause of the business depression re j suiting from the European war, is naturally a much more serious prob lem in the British colonies than any where else outside of the continent of Europe. The city of Edmonton, Can ada, has found at least a partial solu tion. and one that puts no added bur den on either the taxpayer or the char itable. The bars of the Saskatchewan river, which runs through the city, contain much gold dust of the very fine flour variety. With the outbreak of the European war and the neces sity to provide as much available work for men whom war conditions 1 might throw out of employment, the city council turred to the gold-mining industry, which offered returns right | within a hundred yards of the city's main streets. A number of experi enced mining rcen who had settled in the city aftei* the Klondike rush of '98 offered to ret for a while as in structors to the uninitiated, and some j 200 men soon Went to work.

McCarn, to get the facts about this famous cereal food—what it is made of, how it is made, and whether or not too much had been claimed for it. The makers have always held that Grape-Nuts is a body and brain building food; that it contains the vital mineral elements lacking in white flour, and foods made from white flour; that it digests more readily than any other prepared cereal food, etc McCann came to Battle Creek at the Globe’s expense. He investigated—had the run of the factory—up-stairs, down-stairs and all over the place. In the N. Y. Globe of April I, 1915, he said: “Any man who can go to Battle Creek and come away with the statement that he is not amazed is given to the habit of bearing false witness against his neighbor. “I watched the delivery of the wheat to the Grape-Nuts bakery. It was selected wheat too. I watched the mills grind this wheat, and there was no patent flour stunt pulled off in grinding it, either. The wheat went right through the rolls and came out as honest and as unrefined as when it went in. I saw this wheat mixed with barley malt in a mixing room that is a model of cleanliness. “Grape-Nuts is an honest, genuine, wholesome, good, fool proof breakfast food. “Grape-Nuts is all Post ever claimed for it. Instead of over-estimating the truth he didn’t tell ten percent of it” There you have it! If you want to know more, write Alfred W. McCann, care N. Y. Globe, N. Y., or come to Battle Creek and see for yourself. There’s no mystery about Grape-Nuts. This wonderful food DOES build body, brain and nerve tissue. It DOES furnish the vital mineral phosphates usually lacking in the daily dietary. It is easily digestible, economical, and comes ready to eat, fresh and delicious. “There’s a Reason” for Gr ape-N uts Sold by Grocers everywhere, V-__
