To Cook Celery.
How many boueewives know that

three different wars without a re-
sort to white sauce?
The French cook the hearts deli-
ciously as "celery eau jus," and
spoonfuls of sugar. Let it stand in make :several variations of the dish
by additions to the meat stock in
which the celery, atter' being
bleached, is cooked. The hearts
cooked in this way, the coarse
branches used'' forcelery soup, the
leaves cooked for greens, -one may
feel that they have utilized a bunch
of celery toogood' advantage.
Celery cooked in meat juice, eat-

A simple dessert is boiled rice

One gallon of ice-cream, if served

Often discoloration on enamel-
ware may be removed by rubbing

Salt in the oven placed over the

try from ,scorching at the 'bottom.
Eat much fish. It is cheap, a.nd.
many authorities assert it is more
healthful in summer than meat.
Eat many fresh vegetables and
fruits. They are plentiful and
ems- and it is best to eat them
-while you can.
Don't eat canned vegetables.
Conserve the supply for winter. In-
stead, put up all the vegetables
and fruits you can.

are beyond compute. But all the
loot possible" would not compensate
for the hundreds of thousands of
ounces of gold whichmust be paid
each day for army sustenance and
equipment. In olden times war's
paid for thexrrselves, reckoning from
the viewpoint of the victors. Wars
were then for loot. The ships.of the
conquerors returned from across
the seas with treasure—they even
went to .war loaded with treasure
for emergencies; as witness the
Spanish Armada, whose gold is .still
the dream of fortune -seekers.
The war chests of Europe are sup-
posed to contain about $2,000,000,-
000 • in gold eoin and bullion. What
possibilities of lootthis indicates is
in soave measure understandable
when one -considers that this means
about 50,00n tons of yellow metal.

Are Supposed to Contain $2,000,-
000,000 in Gold Coin and
Bullion.
European •authorities fignred that
when the Balkan was began and
there was dread among the common
people that a; general war mightre-
sult, nearly $350,000,000 in gold was
hoarded in three countries in sums
ranging from a. gold piece or two
up totens of thousands of dollars.
Austria-Hungary was 'credited with
hiding .away $150,000,000, Germany
$55,000,000, and. France $130,000,-
000.
This was money which had been
traced into those ccaintries just be-
fore the Balkan hostilities: began
and after `war started.` In "addition
to this vast .sum there was an an-
guessable quantity of gold already
buried in. the ground.
Russia is believed to have tents of
thousands of hoarders of money.
The sign of wealth would mean the
coming of the tax .colleotor; and
among the men who look poor are
owners of countless weight in gold.
The great Imperial war chest has
behind, it, if the signs meas 'any-
thing, other stuns in little war
chests—gold which the Government
might 'draw out if it offered lands
for sale, or bonds the people would
trust, or opportunities in oom.merce

The buried treasure of Carcassonne

Rubber Plants.
The riikber plant is perhaps the
most used home plant and it justly
deserves its popularity as itstands
confinement in rooms (better than
any other. They do best in sandy
Ioarn with a little leaf soil, and
should have small pots in compari-
son with the size of the plants. The.
only oars which they need is plenty
of sprinkling with clear water to
keep the pores of the leaves open.
They do not need a great amount'
of water at the roots, as too much
will turn the leaves yellow. When
this happens, it is well to stop wa-
tering for a while. Be sure, how-
ever, to keep the Teavee clean,. If
not watched they will grow into
a''lcward shapes; this 'can easily be
,avoided by pinching out the termin-
