"AN APPLE A DAY—"
Apples are a food necessity—not a
luxury, and if we consume even more
than the proverbial one each day to
keep the doctor away, we are only
eating for better health.
The ever popular baked apples as a
dessert is always inviting, but there
are any number of ways to entice the
family to eat more apples. Here are
some which perhaps may be new to
you:
Delicious Apple Filling for Cake.
—
2 medium apples, 1 lemon, 2-3 cup
sugar, 1 egg. Pare and core apples,
and grate. Add juice of Iemon and
grated rind, the sugar and egg. Stir
over fire until jellied. Spread when
cool.
Apple Coffee Cake. -1 cup yeast,
1 egg, 2 tbsp. brown sugar, salt, flour
to make thin batter. Let raise until
light. Arrange apples on top sliced,
sprinkle with powdered sugar and
. cinnamon and bake half an hour.
Grated Apple Pudding. -7 apples,
4e cup sugar, 1 dozen lady fingers, 7
eggs, ? cup chopped almonds. Beat
yolks of eggs with sugar until very
light, adding the crumbled lady fin-
gers, grated apples and grated rind
of a lemon. Then fold in the beaten
whites and sprinkle top with the al-
monds. Bake three-quarters of an
hour. Always use as many eggs as
apples. Serve with whipped cream. •
Steamed Apple Suet Pudding.—%
cup ground suet, 1 cup sugar, 1 egg, 1
cup sour milk, 1 cup dried apples, 1
tsp. baking soda dissolved in 1 tbsp.

dried fruit you wish. 3 tsp. cinnamon
and cloves, graham flour to make stiff
batter. Steam three hours.
Apple Fritters. --Slice apples and
dip into batter made of two table-
spoonfuls of sour milk, two table-
spoonfuls of sugar and half egg yolk
and pinch of soda. Add flour to make
a batter a trifle stiffer than pancake
batter. Bake in hot deep fat.

flour, 4 tbsp. confectioners' sugar, 1
large tbsp. butter, 1 cup rich milk.

smooth paste, add milk, heat slowly
and then bring to a boil, stirring the
while. Pare and core and quarter one

and rub through the sieve. Beat into
cream filling and fill tart shells. Add
whipped cream.

How many times one needlessly
goes back and forth while pe ornrmg
the daily tasks. Not long ago—before
I realized I was using my legs instead
of my head while I worked—when I
tidied and cleaned each room I made a
separate trip to the hall with a boy's
cap left on the couch, to the bathroom
with a bottle of salve found on the
mantel, to the basement with the old
newspapers, -and to the seine rooms
again and again with other articles
out of their places.
Now I carry a large basket when I
go to the first room to be straightened
or cleaned. Into it go the small things
belonging elsewhere, and when the
room is in order I carry the basket to
the next room, leaving anything be-
longing there and placing it in the
articles to be taken elsewhere. By the
time I have returned to the first room
after making the one round of all the
rooms, the basket is empty and I have
been spared the twenty or thirty go-
ings and comings that the task would
otherwise have required.—Mrs. F. E.

PART I.
When Jeff Riddle was twenty-one
and went off a distance of three coun-
ties from the old home to hire out, he
was not)a bit handsomer than he was
when he come back two years rater
and bought forty acres near his pap's
place and started in farmin' for him-
self and keepin' bach; and Mary Mac -
Morrow was not a bit purtier than
she was when he went 'away, though
she had grown a little taller and had
filled out considerably.
But somehow the two years made all
the difference in the world to them.
When Jeff went away, Mary Mac -
Morrow was just. out of shoe -top
dresses, and was so shy and bashful
that she would blush clean down into
the neck of her dress if a feller spoke
to her.
But that was back in niy own
sparkin' days, when a gal's face and
the neck of her dress was not so far
apart as they are now. Think of a gal
these days blushin' from her face to
her nearest clothes! The ;blush would
have to get its second wind to go that
distance,
As Jeff had last seen Mary, befo
leavin', she was just an ordinary
chunk of a gal with brown hair and
big brown eyes, and a few freckles
sprinkled about over her face, and she'
was not purty and she was not ugly;
but the first time he saw her after
he was back he had a feelin' that give
him a start, like somebody had called
him sharp and quick when he was
not expectin' it.
He met Mary in the road a little
way from her home.. It was early in
June. She was welkin' and he was
welkin'. He just stopped square in his
tracks right in front of her.
"Good mornin', Jeff," Mary said. "1
ain't seen you for a long time."
She held out her hand to shake. Her
fingers were slim and white, and she
had on black half -handers, which
made her fingers look all the slimmer
and whiter. Her hand squeezed 'up
soft and warm in his, and it come to
him like a flash that he was gazin'
on the purtiest thing, to him, in all
creatien.
Jeff was mystified at the way she
had changed. He saw that she had
not only got taller, but she was trim
and round, and her lips were red, and
her eyebrows was .high and bowed, and
her ears was small, and her neck was
full and round and white as milk, aed
her voice was as sweet as the songs
of a whole flock of medder larks in
spring.
Jeff told me all this, more than once;
I'm tryin' to tell it just as I heard it
from him.
"Where are you goin', Mary " Jeff
asked her, and something must have
happened to his voice all of a sudden,
too, for she .looked at him quick, and
then looked down
WHAT CLN I DO?
I believe we should all study our
children, watch closely and observe
the things they are particularly inter-
ested in or show a special talent for,
then amuse them along this line. F.ir
instance, if a boy likes to play with
tools let him have them and show him
how to use them. How much more
enjoyment my boy obtained from a'
couple of pounds of shingle nails than
he would from the same amount of
money expended in candy. A block
rf wood or board would fairly bristle
with ]tacit in a very short time. Teach
him to leave the head out a little' ways
so he can pull them out and use them
over again.
Another child I know of would
spend a whole half day hunting for
bugs of different kinds to show mam-
ma. Let him make a collection of
them and show,him their pictures in
the dictionary or a nature book if
possible. Find out what they live
upon and he will be very interested,
and incidentally learn a whole lot
about insects, good and bad. The same
idea may be carried out with plants
if they are interested in them, also
stones.
The old saying •that, "First impres-
1 sions last the longest," will be proven
when you sce how much of this he
will remember when. he grows. up, and
the little time spent by us is • well
worth the while. Of course, a child
should never be driven to do more of
this "play" than he wishes, as then it
becomes work and the interest in it
soon departs.—Mrs. L. M. D.
WAYS TO USE CABBAGE.
•
•
Red cabbage is very adaptable to
salad. To one small head, use one
onion, two small carrots, one green
pepper. Put the onion and carrots
through a food chopper together with
the green pepper. Shred the cabbage
and mix all with a salad dressing
made of half cup of cream, half cup
of vinegar, two tablespoonfuls of mus-
tard, two tablespoonfuls of hot water,
one teaspoonful of salt.
Stuffed Cabbage.—Select a medium-
sized head of cabbage and wash 'thor-
oughly. - Separate the leaves and re-
move the centre. Fasten into shape or
tie in a piece of cheesecloth and steam
or simmer until tender. Fill the centre
with cooked hamburg balls and sur-
round with tomato sauce.
"I'm going to pick dewberries," she
answered him.
"I want to go with you, Mary," Jeff
said.
"Come on," Mary said, "but Pll
make you do all the pickin'. "
TI -IE CENTRE OF

A Little Lesson In Living
I enjoyed a great privilege this
Summer. I was allowed to sojourn
for, a part of my vacation with the
artists' colony which every sumnner
gathers on the Ox Bow of the Kalama-
zoo, river, ner Saugatuck, Michigan.-"

son in living which I learned- while

ions folks. The said he was sacci-but-
legious. One spring there was a flood
that washed away all the fences' on a
low part of his farm, and Doc said he
would get even with the Lord for doin'
him thataway, so he built all the
fences back on Sunday. Another time
there was a heavy hail in July, and
when Doc saw it was beatin' his corn'
P Y ed as he spread his oily pigment,
tering his canvas as I might butter
toast, and evolving from this seeming-
ly primitive process a wonder of har-
mony in line and color suer. as no
mere toast butterer ever dreamed of
achieving.
Between him and his subject stood
another artist at another easel, and
my friend had put him in his picture,
at the edge of his canvas, looking out
toward the edge and away from the
group of studio buildings.
Presently came by a third member
of the colony—one whose ability and
attainment had given him the right to
comment upon the work of others, and
whose criticism was valued as that of
the seeing eye and the understanding
heart.
He stood for a moment watching the
palette knife as it spread the color,
strengthening a high light, deepening
or subduing a shadow; and then he
spoke:
"So you are trying to do what can't
be done!" he said. It was said halt -
humorously, but with a kindly posi-
tiveness.
"But I think it can!" answered my
friend.
"Yes," continued the critic. "We
had a student at the Art Institute last
year who thought it could. He took
three months to learn ho. was mis-
taken."
My uninitiated mind became curious
to know what was the impossible
which my friend had undertaken to
prove possible. I wafted eagerly for
the argument to disclose the cause of
the controversy, unnamed as yet, but
evidently understood by both.
"You cannot put a figure in your pic-
ture, on the edge of your canvas and
looking out of it, and preserve its
centre of interest. You are dissipating
interest," said the critic.
"But this and this and this," replied
my friend, indicating with his thumb
the sweep of line, the massing of light
and shadow in the composition of the
picture, "all contribute to the interest
centre, and I will tone down the figure
a bit." •
His defense .was in reality an admis-
sion, and being 'a very wise man the
critic knew it, so he spent no words
in further argument.
"Very well," he concluded, "go on
with your experiment; but it can't be
done," and wandered off to speak
words of wisdom to some other adven-
turer in the enchanted realm of Art.
Now being no artist myself, all of
this might have meant little or nothing
to me were it not for my habit of look-
ing for the Iife lesson in such things.
But the making of a life is in many
ways like the making of a picture; and
in this way as much as in any other—
if life is to be effective it must have a
centre of interest, ,and everything
must contribute to it. No life oa.n be
really beautiful without such a centre,
and its beauty can never appeal and
satisfy`:as it should if there he in it

"Peck away, now; just peck away!

hail stones spatted hint in the face
and bounced off of his forehead.
Of course, Doc was a mighty misery
to Mary and her mother; and on ac-
count of his doin's'they t.et'er went to
meetin' and did not belong to any
church, But Jeff soon found out that
Mary stuck up for her pap.
"He's good to me and Ma, anyhow,"
she broke out to him one day, when
she was worked up about something
some girl had told her when she had
been to town to get the newspaper and
the letters. "You never aee us workin'
round the place, feedin'the stock and
choppin' wood and brealcin' our backs
hoein', like some wimmen I could men-
tion who have mighty pious hus-

But Doc's reputation was not

Mary was plenty good enough for him.
And then right in the midst of his
good luck, just when him and Mary
was thinkin' of breakin' the news to
her folks, what do you reckon hap-
pened? Doc jined the church! That
ought not have caused Jeff any
trouble, but it did.

Then Jeff's troubles begun right
away. Doc was no different from
what I have noticed lots of people are

so hard he could make no allowance
at all for pore, weak,sinful mortals,
and was a stickler for makin' every-

Mary, as usual, Doc took him out to
the barn and told hint he was an un-

father, his duty to his Maker would

So as the artist must choose what he
will have in his, picture and what he
will leave out, you, who would make
a life, must choose. First, what is
your centre of interest; then, what will

so the life, is made.

himself into his painting; expressing
and interpreting himself'in terms bf
the world of beauty about him, in
terms of the interest to be found in
other forms and other faces.
And that is also a little lesson in liv-

had also been making personalities of
