Little cubes of sugar, Little grains of wheatSave them with the bacon And other kinds of meat. . Every dinner table Wherever people eat, "Will help decide the verdict Victory or defeat. Cherry Time. Cherries, like other small fruits, may he canned without cooking. Crush the fruit well and mix with equal parts of sugar; stir until the sugar is well dissolved before canning. Care should he taken that the jars are sterilized, and that they are perfectly sealed; then keep in a cold place.

A few preserved cherries to use as a garnish for various dishes are quite an addition to the fruit closet. When canning cherries, if a kernel or two

of the pits are added to each jar, the

flavor of almond, which is most deli cate, is given to the fruit.

The Royal Ann, which is a sweet,

juicy cherry, makes a most delicious salad. Sprinkle the cherries, after

pitting them, with a little lemon juice and sugar. Served in a fruit bowl,

garnished with cherry leaves, one has

a most refreshing breakfast dish.

A pretty garnish for cherry jelly or other desserts is the fresh cherry left

in bunches with the stems on, dipped

in powdered sugar. Arrange around

the jelly or molded dessert.

Cherry Fritters.

Make a batter of a cupful and a half

of flour, barley or corn flour, mixet:

with equal parts of wheat flour; sift

with two teaspoonfuls of baking pow

der, a half teaspoonful of salt and one half cupful of milk, one- beaten egg. At the last add a cupful of pitted cherries that have been covered with sugar and allowed to stand for an hour. Drop by spoonfuls into hot fat, and fry to a golden brown. Serve with a sauce made from the cherry juice and sugar.

Cherry Conserve. Chop one pound of raisins, two pounds of cherries, three oranges, (juice and rind), and cook with four pounds of sugar for 20 minutes. Seal in small jars. This is delicious.

Boy, Look Up Present Address of Joe Mulhatton HAVANA, CUBA. Natives of a small island off the west coast of Cuba were recent thrown into the highest pitch of excitement and terror when a gigantic animal of the dinosaurus or diplodocus species suddenly crawled forth from the sea and con

tinued to make its slow and destructive way toward the principal village on the island. The island is not more than 20 miles in circumference and is mostly given over to the cultivation of grapefruit. The monstrous creature, described as being more than 60 feet in length, according to its imprints in the soil over which it passed, and weighing manv tons, has been pronounced by

scientists of this city to be a genuine

and probably the only living remnant of the gigantic reptilians that prevailed in the western part of the United States in prehistoric times, the bones of which are still being unearthed from time to time by scientists and archeological explorers. The monstrous specimen that has almost depopulated the island alluded to through hasty flight of scores of natives by small boats to a neighboring isle, broke down fences over which it crawled, knocked over small outbuildings, unrooted nalm trees and cut big swaths through fields of crops.

While it has been pronounced to be the only known living specimen of the thought-to-be-extinct giganticus amphibi diplodocidae, so far as is known, and while it disappeared after crossing the narrowest point of the island,

those who saw it and so far recovered from their fright as to be able to ens

cuss it, declare that it was the most terrifying thing they have ever seen or

wish to see again, and all agree that it haü eyes mat snone ime seuremigma,

hujre teeth and mustaches exactly like the kaiser's.

Its whinings and other noises as it passed over the island were not as

unnerving to the natives as was its mammoth size, which was awe-inspiring.

Some of the natives declare they will never return to the island.

Invention of French Oculist Invaluable to Soldiers Who Have Suffered Disfigurement. The high velocities and high explosiveness of the present-day projectiles often result in facial wounds of most horrible appearance, in the repair of which the surgeons meet with extreme difficulties. In particular, soldiers return from the line of fire not merely with an eye shot out, but with the entire lid aud eye socket destroyed, and the absence of these foundations has often made the insertion of an artificial eye impossible. . Until the present moment there has never existed any means for concealing this disfigurement and restoring to the unfortunate victim the appearance of a normal man possessing two eyes. But quite recently a French oculist, Henri Einius, has made it possible to do this even when the eyelid is entirely missing. In its essential features the apparatus consists of an artificial eye, equipped with a lid of any convenient plastic material paraffin or molding paste, colored to match the subject's complexion. This eye is furnished also with lashes, to give to it to the fullest extent the appearance of a natural eye. It derives its support from fine metal wires attached to eyeglass or spectacles, so adjusted that when the latter is placed upon the nose, the artificial eye falls accurately into its cavity. The eye may easily be separated from these attachments for cleaning.

Hans Wagner.

pert .golfers, horrified, hurried over

and grabbed the club of the Dutchman.

" 'Oh, my dear fellow,' he exclaimed,

'you never can accomplish anything with such a high mound for your ball.'

"And then the golfer lifted up the

ball, kicked Wagner's four-inch mound

to dust and built another about a half inch tall, placed the ball on it and then, turning to Wagner, ejaculated: " 'There ; that's about the proper height.' "Wagner surveyed the new mound and then said: " 'I think I like the higher one better,' and at once rebuilt the mound to its original four-inch size. "And then, while the veteran golfers sadly shook their heads because of the fool idea' of Wagner, the Dutchman swung, caught the ball fairly, and made the longest drive ever recorded on Hot Springs' golf course."

Bread From Cotton Seed; Provides Salad Dressing and a Butter Substitute.

The heat of our bodies is the direct

result of the chemical changes which take place in all the tissues and or

gans of the body. Brubacker's Physi

ology says that "each contraction of a

muscle, each act of secretion, each ex

hibition of nerve force is accompanied

hy the evolution of heat.

"The chemical changes," it contin

ues, "are for the most part of the nature of oxidations, the union of oxygen

with the elements, carbon and hydrogen, of the food principles either before or after they have become constituents of the tissues.

"The ultimate source of the body heat is the latent or potential energy

in the food principles, which was ab

sorbed from the sun's energy and - stored up during the growth of the vegetable world." When the food whether this be directly vegetable or vegetable that has been transformed into meat by being eaten by an animal is digested in our bodies it is "reduced by oxidation to relatively simple bodies, such as urea, carbon dioxide and water, with a liberation of a large portion of their contained energy, which manifests itself as heat and mechanical motion."

Fgw Senators Present to Hear the Opening Prayer Some time ago, when the archbishop of York, primate of England, was in Washington he prayed at the opening of a session of the senate. Most of the senators were present. They all listened devoutly and attentively and when tlin- archbishop wound up with the Lord's pnvyer they joined in with him. There is nothing very extraordinary or striking about this incident until it is considered in connection with the attendance of the senators on ordinary occasions when prayer is offered in the senate chamber. Often there are only a handful of senators

and a few youthful pages present. On

one occasion only one senator aud a

few pages were on hand when the

opening invocation was delivered.-Pathfinder.

Cherry Salad. Remove the pits from large, dark cherries like the "Bing," and fill the cavities with blanched filberts. Arrange a few on head lettuce and serve with French dressing.

City Boys Keener of Ear Than Are Country Fellows

English array doctors, finding city

boys keener of ear than country boys,

adopt the theory that the quietude of rural districts explains the difference,

says the New York World. Urban noises, they arue, keep the aural nerves in a state constantly responsive. Looking across seas, these savants may discover that the keenest human ear ever known, those of the Indians and the frontiersmen, have been developed in the silences of American forests and prairies. It seems probable that hearing, like many another faculty, depends for its active strength upon the exercise due to necessity. It is need, rather than noise, which keeps a listener's nerves on the alert.

The cotton plant, upon which the world depends so largely for clothing, is rapidly increasing in importance as a food producer. Oil from the cotton seed, formerly almost monopolized by makers of high grade soap, now appears upon the table in the form of palatable salad dressing and also as lard and butter substitutes. More recently the seed has been made to yield a flour from which bread pleasing to the taste and as nourishing as lean beefsteak is baked. A bakery in a Southern city is selling 400 loaves of it a week. The annual value of cotton seed products is placed at $250,000,000, onehalf the output being used for food. Farmers are now receiving $40 to .$50 a ton for the seed, as compared to 6 or $7 a quarter of a century ago. The yearly crop is about 5,000,000 tons, a great asset to the consumer at this time of extreme high prices for pure lard and dairy products.

Minister Saved Money by "Dicker" With Footpad BIRMINGHAM, ALA. A very interesting story came to light Sunday, when it was related that a very distinguished minister of the Methodist church,

Dr. Plato Durham, had been held up by a young white man as he alighted

from a car and started toward the

place where he was stopping, he having just returned from a session of the state Sunday school convention at the First Methodist church. The minister got off the car, and as he walked half a block away and the car vanished he was confronted by a man who thrust a cocked pistol against his stomach and demanded that his hands go up. "No, I won't raise my hands. But

what do you want? There is no need to shoot; just tell me what you want and I will give you anything that I have," said Doctor Durham. "I want money, and I need it badly, and I am going to have it." "Well, I have $9, a five and four ones, here," replied Doctor Durham, "and I will give you the four and I will keep the five, for I am a Methodist minister, and you know that we preachers don't have much money, so I think you ought to leave me the big end of it." "Well, I'll be d ," replied the amateur road agent ; "ain't this a of a business for a wMte man to be engaged in? Why,' this is a nigger's job; but I tell you I need money, and I need it bad, so give me the five and keep the four ones." "No ; I think you ought to leave me the biggest pile, for I am hard up, too," replied the preacher; "so here are the four ones, and I will keep the five-spot," and he handed the nightman the four one-dollar notes. "All right," said the unknown masked man; "but you won't shoot as I walk away, or you won't report this to the police, will you?" "No," replied Dr. Plato Durham, and he has up to this hour kept his

NEW xUKlv. governor wmtman, at uie meeuug ujl uie iuuuum uuiuu the Garden theater, didn't know his own hat and sought to grab another

man's. And the two lids didn't resemble each other in the least, for the

governor's was of the stovepipe va

riety tall and very shiny and the

other one was a derby.

The governor, wTho was announced

as the speaker of the evening, came in

while Isidore Hershfield was opening

the meeting, and was ushered to the stage box, where his military secretary, who followed him, received his tall hat and his overcoat and carefully deposited them in a corner of the box. As soon as Mr. Hershfield finished,

the governor was escorted to the plat

form, where he spoke at length on the issues of the war and the Liberty loan. Pausing at length, he cast his eyes behind him. Though still under the spell of his own eloquence, he realized that he needed a hat in order to go forth. The man who sat at the right of the speakers' rostrum held a likely appearing one in his hand. Calmly, abstractedly, the governor possessed himself of it. The bereft man was a good sport and made no protest. But Mr. Hershfield was not going to see a fellow member of the National Union who, by the way, happened not to possess much hair getting a cold in the head through losing his hat, even if it was to the man who had been introduced as "our great war governor." So he tactfully thrust his hand forward, and Mr. Whitman, remembering that he ought to shake hands with the chairman, dropped the hat to do it. By this time the useful military secretary was on hand with the right lid and all was well. When Will Folks Recognize Boys Crave Excitement? JOHNSTOWN, PA. The two very young disciples of Diogenes who are looking not for an honest man, but for the worst boy in America paused in their search to meditate on conditions here. The poor boys in Johnstown are held at a disadvantage. The Y. M. C. A. will

not take them in as members because thev are afraid the bad boys would

make their boys bad. The young men of the church have been good enough to organize a Big Brothers' club. But the Big Brothers try to make good boys out of them by teaching them a lot of the Bible at one time, so they have let the opportunity of a swim and other enjoyments go.

A group of 12 organized a regular cSj

bovs' club and called it the "Gut GaV" Thev found a cave in one of the many near-by hills, stole a few chairs and arable, and then decided to take a few meals there, reports a correspondent of the Baltimore American. There would be no excitement in just asking their mothers for the meal, so they decided to get their own meals. They raided a few ice boxes, taking bread and butter and other things. At one of these raids they trod on war gardens. It all ended when one of their bonfires caused a forest fire, and they were arrested. Their parents paid the fine.

English Hereditary Offices. Conventional epithets have once more been used in the English newspapers about the late Lord Londesborough's hereditary office as vice admiral of the Yorkshire coast. In reality there are many similar appointments in force elsewhere. The lord mayor of Bristol is vice admiral of the channel as far down as Holmes and possesses an ancient silver oar, which he is entitled to have borne before him in virtue of his office. By a fiction of medieval law all lead persons washed up by the tide were considered to belong to the parish in which the Merchant Venturers stand, and births at sea were registered there. Before the organization of the rojral navy had been fully developed it was convenient to intrust the interests of t-e crown in regard to the duties of he admiralty io local gentlemen, like the Denisons of Scarborough, from which the earls of Lonsdale derive, of sufficient standing to be immune from sympathy with smuggling, which was the chief difficulty in early times. For handling maritime questions special qualifications were necessary, which the lord lieutenant, if he were seated inland, might not possess.

Art. Here are quotations from some of the examination papers submitted by Indianapolis school children for credit in the art courses at the John Herron Art institute: "His way of working was very 'technique.' " "There was a picture of St. Catherine receiving the crown . from an 'angle.' " "Michael Angelo has many paintings in the Renaissance, which is a building in France." "The sargent' did the 'freeze in room in the Boston Library." "Hoffman painted most of the Prima Donna. The most famous is the Sistine Madonna." "One of the greatest painters of all times painted beautiful pictures on the ceiling of a church somewhere in the United States, arid this great artist's name was Michael Angelo."

Heavy Demand for Rubber. The world discarded 1S3,000 tons of automobile tires during 191G. Adding to this the large number of bicycle tires thrown away every year by their owners, it appears that the world spends every year at least $G00,0O0,000 for pneumatic tires alone. Nearly 5,000,000 automobiles are now in use in the United States. To supply these
