A RECIPE FOR TROUBLE.
h
p^HBSB troubles,” said the
Irishman,
“I give ye now me word.
Are all right if prevented
Before they .have oc-
curred.”
So, in the home economy,
When things go wrong,
the reason
Is usually the result
Of lack of care in sea-
son.
Vi
|l' Si hangs the harness
wrong-side-up;
Alas, that Justice’ rule,
Ordains that then the
harness goes
All wrong upon tha
mule!
The small boy puts his hand within
A hollow log, to find—
A snake, instead o£-i'abbit;
To thought and prudence blind.
Now, crossing ore we reach a bridge.
Is certainly an error;
But to prepare for trouble, robs
That trouble of its terror.
So, to the Irishman's advice,
Pray, friends, let us recur.
And let us all prevent mistakes
Before mistakes occur!
Domestic Training in India.
That the world moves and women
With it is demonstrated by the latest
reports on domestic science from far-
off India.
It appears that- among the Indian
princes there are those who realize
the need of sound, practical training
for girls as well as boys. In one
province, with its capital -at Baroda,
there are 350 girls’ schools, including
one high school which prepares for
the university at Bombay.
Examination and prize day for cook-
ing is an eagerly anticipated function
and is carried out on original and
practical lines. The shopkeepers near
by are invited to set up stalls in the
school compound and display their
wares. When the pupils present them-
selves they receive from the judges in-
structions as to the dish each is re-
quired to make. They also receive
money for ingredients and then go
around among the merchants and get
the best value for their price. A
record of expenditure must .be given,
and then begins the real work of pre-
paring the dishes thus purchased.
Each girl must do everything herself,
from buying the goods to presenting
the finished dish, and the best re-
ceives the prize.
THE WIFE'S ECONOMY.
U S T look-a-here now,
Marthy, I’m wore oui.,
My patience is exhausted,
just about.
When for potatoes, fruit
and things, I go down
cellar,
You always holler: ‘‘Get
the ones dead-ripe
and mellar.”
And once you added, too
(I've not forgotten),
“It doesn’t matter, Si, if
they are slightly rot-
ten!”
But we’ve good stuff; no
bins in town, I’ll bet
can beat it,
And so I can’t see why on
earth we never eat it!
Marthy cooks spoiled potatoes, tough as
wood,
And keeps on savin’ all the stuff that’s
good.
But worst of all, in jest a little whne,
The fruit that now is good, is bound to
spile!
But some day, sure as I’m a plain, long-
sufferin’ feller,
I’ll make a bonfire of the whole, blamed
stuff in that old cellar!
Filling Fruit Cans.
This is easily done without break-
age if the glass jar be placed on a
towel wrung out of hot water. Or
placing a silver spoon in the jar is also
a good plan.
APPLES AND THE DOCTOR.
N APPLE a day, keeps the
doctor away,”
This is true, and I will
not deny it,
But the fact is, I won’t
eat an apple a week,
And I can’t be persuad-
ed to try it.
Now apples are good for
the liver, they say,
And they aid and they
quicken digestion.
They improve the com-
plexion, and yet I de-
clare
That for me they are out
of the question!
I’ll gladly eat oranges,
peaches and pears,
But an apple, like Marah, is bitter.
The “Fruit of Hesperides?” Nay, rather
say
The “Apples of Sodom” were fitter.
The reason I harbor such prejudice? Nay,
I acknowledge the saying’s a true one,
But the day that the doctor comes
not to our house,
Ie for me, a decidedly blue one.
Bo Fortune can’t blame if my hy-
giene is bad,
And by dieting wrong I have shocked
her,
A CONFESSION.
[9M USUALLY considered
well-behaved,
I think my reputation’s
pretty good,
And so, ’ere I confess my
sins to you,
I’d like to have it clear.
ly understood
About that cook!
I really can’t help this in-
fatuation,
I fight and pray against
it all the time,
For I’ve a wife and son to
live for, work for,
And I’m a man in
health and richest
prime.
But ah, that cook!
Why, when I see her out there in the
kitchen,
With dimpled elbows, skirts just ankle-
length,
I want to kiss and praise her every min-
ute.
To keep from spoiling her i3 past my
strength—
I love our cook!
The secret’s out—I cannot choose but tell
it; _
Though T am sure you’ll think me an
old fool.
I am inclined to praise and spoil our
daughter,
Our only girl—sixteen, and just from
school.
Our darling cook!
A New Invention.
A new cover for fruit jars is tbe in-
vention of a man in Minnesota. It is
of metal and is designed to form a
spring bearing for the cover proper.
Its object is to make the ordinary top
more secure, to avoid waste and spoil-
ing.
A Traveling Pointer.
Keep a spoon in your cup, served in
the diner, and the contents will not
spill over. This has been tried, at the
suggestion of an experienced waiter,
and succeeds admirably. Try it, even
at the risk of good manners.
“Try, Try Again.”
“ ‘If at first you don’t—’ you know
the rest,” and the minister’s wife
joined the group in the sitting room
oi; the president of the Ladies’ club.
“Well, I did ‘try, try again,’ and sure
enough, the raisins stayed ‘put’ and
the cake was delicious.”
“Stayed put?” repeated the bride.
“Um-hum, you know, all through the
cake, instead of sinking to the bottom
as we all have known them to do.”
Here the little daughter of the host-
ess piped up; “We kids all like it that
way, but brother always gets ahead
of me and hollers ‘dibs’ on' the bot-
tom piece.”
“But how did you avoid it?”
“Put the cake in a very hot oven at
first, to set it, before the fruit had
time to drop, and then, too, I had the
dough just the right thickness; not so
thin that it would run out, just so it
would drop in chunks from the spoon.
I’ve often tried both schemes separate-
ly, but, to-day I tried them together
and the result was fine.”
Somebody else added: “Yes, it’s
queer how poorly we follow the advice.
For instance, I told a friend of mine
that she should slip the finger of an
old glove over the rod before putting
on a curtain. Later she declared the
idea a failure—and how do you sup-
pose she had done it? Slipped over the
rod the thumb of an old fleece-lined
glove of her husband’s! And then won-
dered why it didn’t go through the thin
lace hem!”
“Yes,” added the oldest inhabitant,
“unless we can give brains with ad-
vice, better give none; I strongly ad-
vise giving none.”
For “an apple a day keeps the doctor
away”
And, you see—I’m in love with the doc-
tor!
Curry Sauce.
Meats with curry are better if the
raw meat be used, but curry sauce
may also be served with a left-over
preparation.
Peel and core two small apples, and
slice two onions. Fry together. Mix
a heaping teaspoonful of curry pow-
der, and twice the amount of flour into
a paste with a half pint of stock. Stir
it into the apples and onions, season
all with pepper and salt, and pour over
any meat sliced (or chopped). A bor-
der of boiled rice is the correct gar-
nish.
Blackberry Pudding.
Beat together a half cup brown
sugar, two tablespoons butter and one
egg. Add one-half cup blackberry jam
or the fresh berries, three tablespoons
sour milk and a spoon (tea), of soda.
Spices to taste then add, and bake in
a slow oven.
This may be used as a layer c&ke
with filling or with sauce for cottage
pudding.
NO NEED TO TAKE CHANCES
There Is a Sure Way cf Knowing Good
Paint Material.
There is really no need whatever for
any property owner to take chances in
the selection of his paint materials.
It doesn’t cost a cent to learn how to
be on the safe side. Certainly every
property owner has enough at stake to
find this out.
A complete painting guide, known as
Houseowner’s Painting Outfit No. 49,
-;an be had free by writing National
Lead Company, 1902 Trinity Building,
New York. This company is the largest
maker of pure white lead in the world.
Its Dutch Boy Painter trademark
is famous as a guarantee of purity and
luality. The outfit includes a book
>f color schemes, for either interior or
exterior painting, a book of specifica-
tions, and a simple little instrument,
with directions for testing the purity
if paint materials.
WISE TO NIAGARA.
Teacher—Johnny, can you tell me
the most remarkable thing about Ni-
agara Falls?
Johnny—Yessum; the price they
soak you for everything without going
•o jail.
Her Answer.
An Atchison girl had a proposal of
marriage Sunday night and asked a
week to think it over. She went to all
of her married sisters. One, who used
to be a belle, had three children, did all
her own work and hadn’t been to the
theater or out riding since she was
married. Another, whose husband was
a promising young man.at the time
«he was married, was supporting
him. A third didn’t dare say
her life was her own when her hus-
band was around, and a fourth was di-
vorced. After visiting them and hear-
ing their woes, the heroine of this lit-
tle tale went home, got pen, ink and
paper and wrote an answer to the
young man. You may think it was re-
fusing him, but it wasn’t. She said
she could be ready in a month.—Atch-
ison Globe.
Artificial Wants.
Many a one, for the sake of finery
on the back, has gone with a hungry
belly and half-starved their families.
“Silk and satin, scarlet and velvets,”
as Poor Richard says, “put out the
kitchen fire.” These are not the nec-
essaries of life; they can scarcely be
called the conveniences; and yet only
because they look pretty, how many
want to have them! The artificial
wants of mankind thus become more
numerous than the natural; and as
Poor Dick says: “For one poor person,
there are a hundred indigent.”—Ben-
jamin Franklin.
Couldn’t Convince the Judge.
"I have heard of the soul kiss and
kisses of other kinds, but I never heard
of a man biting his wife as an evidence
of his affection for flfer,” remarked Jus-
tice O’Neill of Baltimore, Md., when
George Phoebus, aged 27, of East Bal-
timore street, endeavored to explain
the biting of his wife, for which of-
fense she had him arrested. Mrs.
Phoebus said her husband deliberate-
ly bit her on the cheek, and, though
the pain was excruciating, he said that
it was a “love bite.” The justice fined
him five dollars and gave him ten days
in jail.
SICK DOCTOR
Proper Food Put Him Right.
The food experience of a physician
In his own case when worn and weak
from sickness and when needing nour-
ishment the worst way is valuable:
“An attack of grip, so severe it came
near making an end of me, left my
stomach in such condition I could not
retain any ordinary food. I knew of
course that I must have food nourish-
ment or I could never recover.
“I began to take four tablespoonfuls
of Grape-Nuts and cream three times a
day and for 2 weeks this was almost
my only food; it tasted so delicious
that I enjoyed it immensely and my
stomach handled it perfectly from the
first mouthful. It was so nourishing I
was quickly built back to normal
health and strength.
“Grape-Nuts is of great value as
food to sustain life during serious at-
tacks in which the stomach is so de-
ranged it cannot digest and assimilate
other foods.
“I am convinced that were Grape-
Nuts more widely used by physicians,
it would save many lives that are oth-
erwise lost from lack of nourishment.”
Absolutely the most perfect food in
the world. Trial of Grape-Nuts 10 days
proves. “There’s a Reason.”
Look in pkg. for the little book, “The
Road to Wellville.”
Ever read the above letter? A new
one appears from time to time. They
are genuine, true, and full of human
Interest.
ASKING SMALL FAVOR.
“Papa, mamma says that if you’re
too lazy to do anything else, will you
please sit near the clothes closet and
blow the smoke in, so as to kill the
moths!”
Harris’ Great Good Humor.
“No man ever maintained his life at
a higher level of perpetual good
humor,” writes James W. Lee of Joei
Chandler Harris in the Century. “The
day before he died, when he was al-
ready beginning to pass into the dark
valley of death, one of his sons came
into the room and inquired: ‘How are
you this morning, father?’
“ ‘Well,’ responded Mr. Harris, ‘I am
about the extent of a tenth of a gnat’s
eyebrow better.’ ”
Just What She Wanted.
Mrs. Nurich was in the jewelry
■store. “Here are some new souvenir
spoons we have just got in,” said the
clerk, placing a tray for her inspec-
tion. “Oh, ain’t those lovely!” she ex-
claimed. “I must have some of those!
Our cook makes such lovely sou-
venir!”
