CONDENSATIONS
The Society islands, far away in
the South sea, now have wireless com
munication with the outer world, a
radio station having been opened by
the French government on the Island
of Tahiti last winter. Communication
with the United States will be via
Samoa and New Zealand and thence
by cable to San Francisco. It is ex
pected that the edit of messages to
the United States will exceed one dol
lar a word. Later on it is hoped to
reduce this more than half by send
ing the messages over an all-wireless
route.
The tautara. or tuatera, is an almost
extinct lizardlike reptile (Sphenoden
punctatum), now found only on cer
tain rocky islets in the bay of Plenty,
northern New Zealand. It is of great
scientific Interest for the reason that
it is the only surviving representative
of the order of prosauria, or primitive
reptiles, and is therefore a sort of “liv
ing fossil.” It was formerly hnnted
for food, but is now protected by law
in New Zealand.

RECOGNIZE VALUE OF FIGS
Mothers of Young Children Make Them
Part of the Daily Menu—Some
Methods of Preparation.
Figs are becoming a national deli
cacy. Little need be said of their
medicinal value, save that as a laxa
tive they are particularly good for
children and are advisable to use as
part of the daily diet. Preserved
skinless figs are delicious and may be
bought in jars or cans. Many like
them for breakfast with hot buttered
rolls or with the natural sirup drained
off and cream substituted. Have you
ever tried fig pudding?
One-half pound figs, two pints milk,
three heaping tablespoonfuls corn
starch, two heaping tablespoonfuls
sugar, three eggs, one-half teaspoon
ful lemon extract.
Wash the figs, cut them In small
pieces, then put them into a buttered
casserole dish. Put the cornstarch
into a saucepan and moisten it with
half a cupful of the milk. Bring the
rest of the milk to the boiling point,
pour it over the cornstarch and stir
till it bolls ten minutes. Add the
sugar, lemon extract and the eggs, well
beaten.
Pour over the figs and hake In a
moderate oven for half an hour. Serve
with cream or milk.
KEEP CISTERN WATER PURE
Filter That May Be Easily and Cheaply
Constructed Will Answer for
the Purpose.
The water in the cistern may be
rendered clean and free from impuri
ties at a very small cost by putting in
a filter made as follows:
Sink a joint of common tiling Into
the ground near the wall of the house,
vsmrnmmm**'/ ' '
A Filter for $1.00. A, Spouting; B,
Tiling; C, Charcoal; D, Cement
Foundation; E, Pipe, Leading From
Filter to Cistern; F, Cistern.
Fill tbe tiling within a couple of
inches of the top with charcoal, place
a lid on it to prevent the mice, rats,
bugs and dirt, and all other foreign
substances from entering the cistern
by that route.
If a piece of heavy wire screen is
placed over the charcoal, so much the
! better.
Have the filter rest on a foundation
; of clean stones or cement from three
to four inches deep, into which a two
inch pipe should be arranged for car
I rying the water to the cistern.
A piece of heavy screening should
he placed over that end of the pipe
protruding into the filter, and another
piece of fine screen wire should be fas
tened across the opening into the cis
tern; both of which are for the pur
pose of ullowing nothing of any size
to get into the water supply.
Chocolate Cake.
Put one cupful sugar, one-quarter
cupful butter and three tablespoonfuls
cocoa in mixing howl. Set on back of
range until slightly warm, then mix
well and add one whole egg and yolk
of another well beaten, one-half cupful
milk and sift in with one cupful of
! flour (no more), three-quarter tea
spoonful cream turtar, oue-half tea
spoonful soda, one teaspoonful vanilla.
Bake in shallow pan. Batter may seem
too thin but will be all right.
Frosting—One cupful granulated su
gar, three tablespoonfuls boiling wa
ter. Boil until It spins a thread, then
turn Into stiffly beaten white of egg,
add one-half teaspoonful vanilla and
beat until thick enough to spread.
Mock Chicken Loaf.
Two pounds uncooked veal, put
through meat grinder, one-quarter
pound salt pork iu like manner, one
beateu egg, three-quarters cupful pow
dered crackers, one-half teaspoonful
salt, pepper and sage to taste. Put In
pan such as you use for loaf cake.
Bake one hour. It’s nice, just before
placing In oven, to beat one egg until
j light. Pour over, then sprinkle cracker
i crumbs.
Orange Snow.
Slice the oranges and remove the
seeds and sprinkle with powdered
sugar. Then for six oranges stir in a
pint of whipped cream, or as much as
the cream will hold without becoming
soft. Keep the cream on ice before
using, that it may be nice and stiff.
| Make a meringue of the whites of four
eggs and half a capful of powdered
sugar, and top the mixture with this,
return to the ice and serve very cold.
Tomato Savory.
Take one-half pound of tomatoes,
skin them, cut them In slices, put ono
ounce of butter into a saucepan, add
the tomatoes, pepper and salt, and
cook them slowly about ten minutes,
then add the yolks of two fresh eggs.
Stir till the mixture is quite a thick
paste and serve it on little croutes of
fried bread.
To Keep 8uet.
Take out any skin there may be, and
then put the suet in a &ucepan and
place on a warm but not hot Are and
let it melt gradually. When quite melt
ed pour it into a pan of cold water.
When quite hard wipe it dry, wrap
it in white paper, and when wanted
for use it may be rubbed on a grater.
Oyster Cocktail.
For a first course at supper an oyster
cocktail served in grapefruit is an in
novation. The fruit is prepared as
usual, though not sweetened, and sev
eral small oysters with tabasco and
horse-radish dressing, are placed In
the hollow left by the removal ot
the seeds and central pulp.
DTOY'S EVENING
UFA1W TALE V
W MAT?f GRAHAM BONNER
PRINCESS JOY’S PARTY.
“The Fairies,” said Daddy, “had a
Party at Twilight the other even ig.
It was just a short time after Mr. Sun
had gone to bed, and it was given in
honor of the Princess Twilight Bell.
She loved that time of the day better
than any other, you see. and her name
was very well chosen for her by the
other Fairies, for her Voice was like a
lovely, Silvery Bell.
“ ‘It is so nice to have a Party given
for me,’ she laughed in her clear bell
like Voice, as she arrived at the Party
In a wonderful Rohe of flowing Lav
ender Silk trimmed with Silver.
“ ‘We love to give a Party for you,’
said the Princess Fairy Joy. Now,
Fairy Joy was really giving the Party
and I must tell you about her name,
too. She was one of the happiest,
merriest, jolliest Fairies, and they had
all decided long ago that they must
always call her Princess Joy—just as
Princess Began to Dance.
they thought the only name to fit the
little Fairy with the lovely Voice who
liked the shadows of the evening was
I'rincess Twilight Bell.
“And then from far and near came
the other Fairies. They all wore
wonderful robes of Lavender and Sil
ver and looked just like the Shadows
in the early evening.
“ ‘Now, Fairies,’ said Princess Joy.
‘we are going to open our Party by a
Dance. The Shadows are coming to
dance with Princess Twilight Bell—
and after we have watched her—for
she always will dance for us—we will
all Dance with the Shadows.’
“Princess Twilight Bell began to
dance and through the Trees came the
Shadows dancing all about her. Alt.
such a glorious Dance as they had—
and later on alt the Fairies danced
with the Shadows.
“ 'We must be off,’ said the Shad
ows. ‘Twilight is over—the Shadows
must go—and the night must come.’
“ ‘We can't bear to see you go.’ said
FTlncess Joy. ‘But you'll come again
soon, won’t you?’
"And the Shadows danced away sc
happily that the Princess Joy knew
they’d come again. Then what should
appear but the Fireflies.
“Along they came sparkling ant
Dancing. They jumped on the shoul
ders of the Fairies, and ran Baces ant'
jumped about on their Silver Wings.
“Such a merry time as they were
having when soon they heard a Whis
per behind the Pine Trees.
“ ‘Whut can that be?’ they all asked.
“ ‘Fla. ha, ha,’ came the Whisper.
‘Do you think you have enough Light
for this party? Do you think the Fire
flies will do?’
“Still no one could see from where
came the Whisper—hut the Fireflies
were so afraid the Fairies would not
think they were giving IJght enough
that they sparkled and danced for all
they were worth. Oh, it,was so bright
in Fairyland that night!
“Now. peeping through the Pine
Trees, came old Mr. Moon. ‘You
thought I was angry, eh?’ he laughed.
‘You didn’t think F liked to see the
Fireflies. You thought, perhaps. I was
jealous and hard to please?’ Still he
grinned, though he was waiting anx
iously for the Fairies to talk to him.
“ ‘Dear, dear me,’ said Princess Joy.
‘We are delighted to have you and
think it’s a great honor. Won’t you
sit down and watch the fun?’
“‘Well, well, well, that’s a pretty
good joke! To ask an old fellow like
me if he won’t sit down! But as to
watching the fun. Yes, Pll do that
with pleasure. But I couldn’t sit down.
It’s not the Moon’s place to sit Now,
is it?’
“And all the Fairies shook their
heads. ‘We love our little Guests, the
Fireflies,’ said I’rincess Joy, and the
Fireflies sparkled their thanks. ‘But
we’re ever so glad you came, Mr.
Moon,’ she added.
“ ‘You don’t think I was angry, do
you?’ asked Mr. Moon. *For I was
only joking. I do love to have a joke,
you know. And as far as that’s con
cerned, you’re pretty fond of a joke
yourself when you ask me to “sit
down.” ’
“Everyone was feeling very Jolly
and happy, and soon what should ap
pear all over the sky but hundreds of
little Stars.
“ ‘We were going to sleep.’ the Stars
said, ‘but when the Fairies have a
Party like this we have to come, too.’
“And then the Princess Twilight
Bell sang a song of Joy over her Party,
and the Princess Joy sang with her in
the chorus.”
Master It.
There are some girls who look sweet,
and are pleasant and attractive and all
that, but if they hear another girl
praised their faces fall in a minute.
That unlovely envy which makes you
uncomfortable over the praise which
goes to another, is a weakness to be
mastered.
Followed Mother's Orders.
Mamma—But didn’t your conscience
tell you that you were doing wrong?
Little Betty—Yes, mamma. But you
told me I shouldn't believe all I heard.
Paradoxical.
“That fellow has a screw loose.”
“He doesn't mend matters by get
ting tight.”
Edwin Woodring, hermit of Allen
town, Pa., predicts speedy downfall of
Turkey.
There's nothing a manly man ad
mires more than a girlish girl or a
womanly woman.
Instead of running away from your
work try to find a more efficient way ot
doing it. That is the secret of suc
cess.

INFANT MORTALITY is something frightful. We can hardly realize that
of all the children born in civilized countries, twenty-two per cent.,
or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year; thirty-seven
per cent., or more than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before
they are fifteen!
We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a
majority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many
of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations.
Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children’s complaints contain
more or less opium or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities,
deadly poisons. In any quantity, they stupefy, retard circulation and lead
to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria operates exactly the reverse, but
you must see that it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher. Castoria
causes the blood to circulate properly, opens tJ
pores of the skin and allays fever.
Genuine Castoria always bears tke signature
“Bribery."
In his early days at the bar Sir Ed
ward Carson was so hard up that he
had to accept briefs marked as low as
half a guinea.
On one occasion he was briefed to
defend a certain Mick O'Dwyer in the
Dublin courts at this meager figure. On
the morning of the case, as Sir Edward
was entering the court, a man stopped
him.
“Look here, counsel, “ye’re a bit of a
case for Mr. Mick O’Dwyer, haven't
ye?” he said.
“I have—what about it?” demanded
“counsel.”
“Well,” replied the man, with the air
of a financier, “it’s mesilf that’s
O’Dwyer, an’ I’ll tell ye what—if ye
win the case TO give ye five shillings
! for yourself:”

Cheap Cooking Range.
An electrical toy range has lately
been invented which can be made of
real utility in a small apartment. At
a demonstration recently given a
hearty meal for Ave persons was
cooked at the expense of 12 cents’
worth of current. The little stove in
cludes an oven and six small hot plates.
The meal cooked included a five-pound
roast, boiled potatoes, biscuits, maca
roni, two small apple pies and apple
sauce. Of course such results are only
obtained at that cost by a skilled dem
onstrator, but the tiny electric range
lias great possibilities, for the adult
housekeeper as well as for the small
girl it was designed to amuse.
OLD PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS
A medicinal preparation like Dr, Kil
mer’* Swamp-Root, that has real curative
value almost sells itself. Like an endless
chain system the remedy is recommended
by those who have been benefited to those
who are in need of it.
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is a physi
cian’s prescriptien. It has been tested
for years and has brought results to count
less numbers who have suffered.
The success of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root
is due to the fact that it fufills almost ev
ery wish in overcoming kidney, liver and
bladder diseases, corrects urinary troubles
and neutralizes the uric acid which causes
rheumatism.
Do not suffer. Get a bottle of Swamp
Root from any druggist now. Start treat
ment today.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., for a
sample bottle. W hen writing be sure and
mention this paper.—Adv.

Iron ts Greatest of Au Strength
Builders; Says Doctor
A Secret of the Great Endurance and Power of Athletee
Ordinary Nuxated Iron Will Make Del
icate, Nervous, Rundown People
200 Per Cent. Stronger in Two
Weeks’ Time in Many Cases.
NEW YORK, N. Y.—Most people
foolishly seem to think they are going
to get renewed health and strength
from some stimulating medicine, se
cret nostrum or narcotic drug, said
Dr. Sauer, a well-known Specialist jvho
has studied widely both in this coun
try and Europe, when, as a matter
of fact, real and true strength can only
come from the food you eat. But peo
ple often fall to get the strength out
of their food because they haven’t
enough iron in their blood to enable
it to change food into living matter.
From their weakened, nervous condi
tion they know something is wrong
but they can't tell what, so they gener
ally commence doctoring for stomach,
liver or kidney trouble or symptoms
of some other ailment caused by the
lack of iron in the blood. This thing
may go on for years, while the patient
suffers untold agony. If you are not
strong or well, you owe it to yourself
to make the following test: See how
long you can work or how far you can
walk without becoming tired. Next
take two five-grain tablets of ordinary
nuxated iron three times per day after
meals for two weeks. Then test your
strength again and see for yourself
how much you have gained. I have
see}} dozens of nervous, run-down peo
ple who were ailing all the while,
double their strength and endurance
and entirely get rid of all symptoms
of dyspepsia, liver and other troubles
In from tea to fourteen days’ time
simply by taking Iron in the proper
form. And this after they had in
some cases been doctoring for months
without obtaining any benefit. But
don’t take the old forms of reduced
iron, iron acetate or tincture of iron
simply to save a few cents. You must
take iron in a form that can be easi
ly absorbed and assimilated like nux
ated iron if you want it to do you any
good, otherwise it may prove worse
than useless. Many an athlete or
prize-fighter has won the day simply
because he knew the secret of great
strength and endurance and filled his
blood with iron before he went Into
the affray, while many another has
gone down to inglorious defeat simply
for the lack of Iron.
NOTE—Nuxated Iron recommended
above by Dr. Sauer is not a patent medi
cine nor secret remedy, but one which is
well known to druggists and whose Iron
constituents is widely prescribed by emi
nent physicians everywhere. Unlike the
older inorganic iron products, it is easily
assimilated, does not injure the teeth,
make them black, nor upset the stomach:
on the contrary, it is a most potent reme
dy. in nearly all forms of indigestion, as
well as for nervous, run-down conditions.
The manufacturers have such great con
fidence in Nuxated Iron that they oft*r
to forfeit 1100.00 to any charitable insti
tution If they cannot take any man or
woman under 60 who lacks iron and in
crease their strength 200 per cent, or
over In four weeks’ time provided they
have no serious organic trouble. They
also offer to refund your money if it does
not at least double your strength and
endurance in ten days’ timeO It is dis
pensed by most druggists. If your drug
gist or general store is without a supply,
ask them to get tt for you.-Adv.
