To release the men, who heretofore furnished propulsion for wheel chairs, so that they might find esse'ntia! work in helping the government, the New York Zoological park has installed the first of a fleet of electric storage battery-driven chairs. Now, every visitor to the gardens may have the pleasure of driving one of these chairs. The chairs will be installed on all board walks at summer resorts and In hospitals for the use of invalids.

Mothers' Cook Book

What to Eat. Thare ain't nobuddy but a butterfly kan liv on buty and git phatt. Josh Billings. Bananas, like everything else in the - food line, have soared in price, but when they can be bought by weight they are not very expensive in the average market Variety is the spice of food as well as life, and we need to vary our menus as much as possible. Baked Bananas, Belgian Style. 0 Remove the peeling from eight small bananas and scrape each to remove the coarse threads. Lay them side by side in a baking dish suitable to serve from. Grate over them the rind of an orange ' and half of a lemon ; mix the juice of half a lemon, an orange and a half cupful of honey; pour over the bananas; bake in a quick oven until soft. Serve from the dish. One banana will make a serving. Baked Bananas, Sultana Sauce. Itemove the banana from the skins, scrape and return to its original place in the skin. Set bananas in an agate saucepan to cook until the skin is well blackened and the pulp is soft. About 20 minutes will cook them in a moderate oven. An hour before preparing the bananas put three-fourths of a cupful of sultana raisins with a cup of boiling water on to cook, adding j tore water as needed. Mix a half cup of sugar and two teaspoonfuls of cornstarch, a teaspoonful of butter and a grating of lemon peel with the juice; cook until smooth and pour boiling hot over the peeled bananas. Bananas added to a custard pie or riced bananas put on top of a fresh custard pie and served at once make a very tasty pie. Mashed bananas in whipped cream for cake filling is delicious, adding sugar to sweeten. Bananas Fried in Crumbs, Remove the skin from six bananas, scrape and remove the coarse threads ; cut in halves lengthwise, then crosswise. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, lemon juice, dip in flour, egg and crumbs and fry in deep fat. Drain on brown paper and serve garnished with lemon and parsley. Serve with lemon sauce. Bananas as a salad are so weli known that it needs but a reminder that rolled in nuts and served with a good dressing they are well liked. The peeling itself may be used for a nest when serving.

G. A. R. Organized in 1866. The Grand Army of the Republic "var organized in Illinois in 1SGG by Dr. B. F. Stephenson of Springfield. He was surgeon of a Union regiment during the Civil war and afterward librarian of congress for several years. The object of the society was to promote the interests of veteran soldiers and maintain the principles, memories and associations of the Union army. The first national convention of the order was held at Indianapolis November 20, 1SG6, the second at Philadelphia in 3S6S, and later ones annually in many other cities.

Uncle Sam Is to Conserve Gold Only by Distributing It For the Essential Uses

Need a new gold tooth? Going to wed during the war? Better order that ring right away. Expecting to invest in gold luxuries? Better forget that it can't be done during this man's war. For our Uncle Sam has decided to keep a little red book on the gold supply. The gold administrator may not come to rival the fuel administrator, the food conservator and the gasoline checker. But gold the commodity will hereafter be distributed in bullion as the wholesale manufacturing jeweler and the dentist and other finer craftsmen set forth their absolute requirements. Use of gold, the commodity, will be restricted to the essentials. An officer of the assay office explains as follows: "As far as we know, first instructions to stop exchanging gold bullion for gold coin or cash has been rescinded. We have resumed the exchange in a modified or restricted way. The future course will be governed by the drain that is made on the supply. It will work out as simply as the campaigns to conserve sugar, wheat, fuel and gasoline. And in a close way the plan follows the same general purpose. The government will keep track of its gold supply, see who needs it and who gets it, and will stop any attempts to hoard it." Food for Thought A woman would be mighty unhappy tied up for life to a man she couldn't find fault with now and then. A woman is always wanting something her husband can't afford and a man always seems to enjoy telling her that he can't afford it. $ The best way to win this war J is to send our soldiers so many r guns and shells that it won't be S necessary for them to have to g rise to superhuman deeds of bravery. The fourth Liberty bonds & should so as fast as the Yanks S" are going frontier. along the German How the German Laborer Is Chained to His Job Control of labor power in Germany is absolute, according to information obtained from that country. Just how each workman is chained to his job may be realized when it is known thai he cannot change positions without the written consent either of his employer or of a board of seven members appointed by the military authorities. The boards of seven include an army officer as chairman, two government officials, two employers, and two workingmen. The workingmen, therefore, not only have small representation on the board, but are denied the opportunity of choosing their own representatives, for that is undertaken by the war office.

Some Extraordinary Names Are Occasionally Fastened Upon the Innocent Babes What extraordinary names some people are compelled to bear or choose to assume 1 I hestitate to call them "Christian names," because they aren't Christian, very often. "Given names" is perhaps the better way of describing them. Perhaps you have heard of the Irishman assisting at a baptism, who, when he heard the godmother answer "Hazel" to the question as to the child's name, broke forth: "For the love av hiven; the whole calendar is full of the names of blessed female saints, and they do be callin' the baby after a nut!" I thought of that when I looked through the catalogue of a girl's college the other day and noted these labels: Golde Mae, Eura, Arvilla, Kathrjm, Elva, Melba, Izer, Neva, Ramona, Mabelle, Vida, Esta, Mülis, Mayme, Mable, Arthetta, Lilyan, Bulah, Arbita, Nannie, Ara, Jonnie, Hoxa, Zurelle, Zuliene, Vanja, Mote, Corenna. It was a comfort to get back to Bridget and Margaret! Names are not arbitrary combinations of vowels and consonants; they have, or should have, significance, a historic setting, a personal and family relationship, that dignifies them. To invent fantastic labels for pet dogs may be allowed; but human beings ought not to be put on that level. So, misspellings of familiar names,

Christian or family, seem either undignified or ignorant, now when fixed spellings have been accepted. Can some one explain Ga Nun and ü'Rell, both of which variants intrigue me? Living Church. tust criTiiDc j i iiu i u I UltU j4, What may we take into the vast forever?

Naked from out that far abyss behind us We entered here; No word came with our coming, to remind us What wondrous world was near, No hope, no fear.

Outdid Soldier Son in WASHINGTON. The Union station the day and night, going to camp or back from them; the raw recruit, and the man who never has felt a bul let's sting .ill of them are there. It is the raw recruit that interests me most. Catch hira either when he is entraining for camp for the first time or just getting back on his first leave. Then the women are in the picture in large numbers. When he goes awTay to camp with tearful eyes and apprehension. But when he returns ah, then, there is a change. The woman folks come with faces

beaming pride and hearts thumping martial music. After he has been in the service long his coming to town or going across ceases to be as interesting as it was at first, and he-is not surrounded by a crowd of proud or" apprehensive women, and he is not half as interesting as. he was when he first forsook the civilian life. I saw a striking illustration of this on a recent day. A senator who is well along in years came to the train with his son, a husky youth of twentyone, perhaps, who reared his shoulders back in grand style and carried a general air of confidence that he could whip all of the Heinies in the world. It was evident from his new suit that he had not been in the service long, but tliis fact was evident by the manner in which his father carried himself. If there ever was any doubt in the father's mind as to the final result of the war it evidently had been wiped out by the admission of his son to the army. As they swung down the huge train shed the father assumed a far more military air than his son, and when I last saw them the senator was clicking his heels along in a fashion which fairly shouted: "Here we are, Huns; what are you going to do about it?" They had no woman folk with them, for the senator is from way out West, but through the actions of the father I could visualize the proud bearing of the entire family.

quiesced. "The high cost of living," he smiled, good naturedly. But when he received notice that Jle would have to pay J2.50 next week he got a little riled. 'TU just go around and see auntie about this," he said to his good wife. "Auntie," began the man, "how is it that you keep on raising my laundry bill every week?" "It's the wah, boss," returned auntie. "The war, of course," said he, "but don't you think you have been raising it a little more than the war demands? Here I haven't raised the rent on you " "You cain't," grinned the woman, sweetly. "I'll admit it," smiled the man in return. "But don't you think the law works hardship on us poor real estate owners, sometimes? Here I am letting you have this little home for the same modest price that you have always paid, while you are raising the price of our washing week by week." Auntie grinned peacefully. "I don't know about dat, boss," &he said. "I guess Ts protected an' you ain't, dat's all."

Bee Really Deserved Feast That He Finally Got HAVING written stories of a mouse that sings, a sparrow that takes ä shower bath, a kitten that attacked a pigeon and a bird that waits on a tree for the muster of the house to come home every evening, and not having been branded "nature-faker," I feel at

liberty to tell the following tale also true: "Bees must have marvelous noses," he said. Ignoring the noses, I aisked him why he attributed marvelous powers of smell to bees. "Well, you see," he said, "it's this way. I went down to the corner grocery- store the other day to buy a bottle of grape juice. It was one of those warm days, and on my way home I had to pass a yard surrounded

by a he'dge. There were quantities of bees buzzing through the hedge. One of them must have seen me coming across the street, for he immediately left the society of his mates and began flying around my head. "That bee followed me up the street as faithfully as any dog. After a few steps I saw that what he was after was the bottle of grape juice. As far as I could tell there was no way on earth that bee could know there was

sweet grape juice inside that bottle,

never been . removed. "But that fellow knew sugar was near. He never left me. Across streets he accompanied me. He was a faithful as well as busy bee. Into my home he came, and the door closed behind him, but he never faltered. That evening my family drank the grape juice." "And gave your bee a special cup," I said. "Well, not exactly that," he replied. "But we set the 4 empty bottle out in the yard, and the next morning we found the bee asleep in the bottom of the bottle."

He said he was on his way to the state, war and navy building and would be glad to carry any one going that way. Among his passengers was a small woman in black who came home that evening from a long day's work to jubilate over her ride like this : "You know I am not of the pushing kind, so I thought I would stand back and let some one else get in, but the officer beckoned me, and it was the finest big. shiny car I ever was in, and it flew as smooth a glass. I've been thinking about it all day; how kind it was of the soldier man. I tell

Living in the man's property, there was a sort of understanding betwreen them about the washing, and the man little dreamed tliat the war would affect the state of his shirts, etc. But the war does a lot of things.

GENERALLY PAYS TO "STICK" Man Who Is Constantly Changing Job Is, Not Usually an Employee of Special Value. A Kansas editor complains that "nobody sticks" in these times of plenty o jobs f or.all. The statement is too sweeping, says the Portland Oregonian, but there is truth in it. A good many do not "stick" who ought to do so. They ought, in the first place, to cultivate the habit of sticking. Some day jobs may not be so common, and it will surprise some of the wandering ones to find that they have not learned enougk about any one trade to make them valuable to any employer. The young mam who is doing one thing today and another the day after tomorrow is overlooking the chance to establish himself in a career, and he is breeding in himself the spirit of dissatisfaction which will make it hard for him to be happy in all the years to come. Nothing ca be said against quitting one job for a better one ; ambition ought to be encouraged ; but the worker ought to be sure himself that thechanjre is for the better and not merely for the sake of change.
