Eat Plenty of Apples. The need for well-varied meals ever confronts the housekeeper. Many women try to solve the problem by ordering a wide range of foods, some highly expensive. While this in a measure accomplishes the purpose, the dishes thus obtained are not always to the liking of those for whom she provides. A more effective and economical way is to take a staple food and vary the forms of serving it. This is not possible with some foods but for use in such a manner the apple is an ideal fruit. Used raw, cooked, dried, evaporated, canned, preserved, or in any other way, it is an easily digested, wholesome food, appetizing to every member of the family. Its advantages as a staple diet are many. It is easily prepared. Its keeping qualities are wonderful. It is food, tonic, condiment and cosmetic all in one. It is an excellent substitute for higher-priced foods. No part of it is wasted. _ It plants roses in the cheeks. Its food properties are as great as meat. The phosphorus contained in it renews the nerve forces.

Activities of Women Yucatan now has a woman’s club. Kansas has 453,143 women es voting age. Over 4,000,000 women In tho United States are eligible to vote at the coming November election if they choose to qualify. Delia Burke, an Immigrant, will have the choice of more than 600 situation.! if she is permitted to remain in this country. One hundred and fifty thousand girls are at the present time required in London offices alone to take the places of male workers who have joined the army. In some of the larger establishments scores of seats are waiting for girls to arrive to sit upon them, drawing good salaries in berths where they will be cordially welcomed. Social women in England have established a school where they are taught to do their own housework. Women are admitted to the universities of Russia and Sweden on an equal footing with the men. Smokers Will Suffer A few weeks ago, when the prices of tobacco in England wore increased, many smokers reluctantly relinquished their favorite brands and bought cheaper mixtures. After a week or two some of them gave up the search for a suitable substitute and returned to their old loves. Now the smoker is to have a further trouble, for it is said that there will boa radical alteration in' the nature of a large number of tobaccos. The reason for this is that soon the stocks of latakia in England will have been exhausted, and as this tobacco comes from Turkey, there will be no further supplies until the war is ended. Latakia is an integral part of a large number of mixtures, and tho flavor of all will be affected by the change. Most of the latakia. is grown in the hinterland around the ancient town of Latakia, in Asia Minor, and none, it is said, is grown outside Turkish territory. So smokers will be called on to make another sacrifice.— Boston Transcriot. LOW KATE EXCURSIONS via CLOVER LEAF ROUTE -EVERY SUNDAYto Toledo, 0., Bluffton, Frankfort, Kokomo and Marion, Ind. See H.

HAVE YOU READ THIS BOUK7 As Described by High School Boy It Should Be Worth Spending Some Time On. % —— Submitted by a second-year highschool boy: “Robinson Curusoe. —This book whs chosen by Depoe, a man of many qualities and professor at Fordham university. It was edited by Gitin & Co., containing 149 pages, costing 65 cents. i "Professor Depoe's selections are very Interesting. He knows where Curusoe left his wife and went up to the summit of a high mountain witii bis gun in hand, accompanied by a dog. While he was there for a short time darkness came upon him and he felt drowsy, so he put his gun at his side and I*ll asleep. Here he slept for a number of years and when he awoke he found that he had grown old and Ills gun was rusty. Moreover, there were men playing tenpins and dining on the mountain. This he, too, soon partook of. Finally he thought of home, nnd he began to descend the mountain. He now found himself in a city. After searching for his home he was made known to his wife, and they lived happily ever after. “All of Depoe’s books are on this style and should be in every home.”-— New York Tribune. ILL WIND AND A GOOD ONE »» Young Man Offered "Proof" That Strong Gale Could Build as Well as Destroy. “Gentlemen,” said the innocent-look-ing young man, “many people would be disposed to doubt some of the stories that you have been telling about the freaks of the wind, I at 1 don't. The man who told how the wind took off the roof of his anil his neighbor’s houses, exchanged them and nuiled them down, has my unlimited confidence. My lather had an experience which will not permit me to be skeptical.”

f “Did he have a house blown down?" “No; he hadn't any house to be blown down. He had been living in a ■hotel waiting for his new residence in the country to be completed. All the material was lying out in the fields and the plans were in a toolshed near by. When he went to look at the place one morning lie found that the wind had broken open the tool house, secured the plans, built the whole house up, cleaned the windows and started a fire in the kitchen .range.” Each man picked up his hat and went home.—Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegraph. Nervous?—Need Paddling. It is considered beneficial to be whipped or “spanked,” provided it is done mechanically. In the meebano therapy departments of up-to-date institutions, the “whipping post,” a mechanical device for therapeutic paddling, is an accredited healing machine. You are whipped by straps of heavy cloth or leather attached to two rapidly revolving posts. When you take the treatment you step backward Into the flying whips and receive theii .blows upon your legs, back, abdomen or chest, depending upon the malady from which you are suffering. The impact of the straps is just sufficient to set the blood in free circulation. There is no smarting, stinging sensation because the straps are broad enough to eliminate any possibility of a cutting blow. You are paddled rather than lashed. The “whipping post" Is valuable In many types of nervousness. —Popular Science. i Trees and Faces. You can tell a good many interesting things about a tree just by looking at It. Sometimes it leans far over in one direction because a careless foot trod upon it long ago. Sometimes all the branches point one way, am! this tells us what sort of winds it had to fAce when it was a sapl'rtg. People who know about trees can tell almost the whole history of one by looking it over.

But trees nre not the only things whose life story is written upon them where everyone can road it. E’ery day your thoughts and your acts are writing n record on your faces. The boy who Is overbearing. and the girl who Is peevish and fretful, may try I" hide those faults from those out ide their homes, but it ennnot bo done. Little lines are coming about the eyes and lips which toll the whole story as plainly as words could do it. Be ns refill that tho record they write upon your face is of thoughts and acts that are loving ami kind. Family Traits. You hear a great deal of scientific talk about “family traits” appearing in young people after the ancestors who had these traits have boon dead ttiany years. There was once a great shipbuilder named Stoors, who built the yacht America, which won tho cup from England many years ago. He had a shipyard in Manhattan, ills son became a judge, and never made ships, but his son's son, however, though he studied law, could design and whittle out the best toy bouts going. Yet the lawyer never lift'd any practice in carpentering. nor lice Ids daughter, who could handle a knife like a master. She made a specialty of music, and could play the violin and the piano, but she and her father had both of them inherited the knnek of -designing and modeling from their ancestors.
