looked out. Miss Jones was
ical in the common utilities et her
lonely life. She had not looked tol
the esthetic in clothing her pets, but
to their comfort. Some of the chick-
ens were robed in red flannel, others
in part of an old quilt. Some of the
overcoats had ruffles at the neck, oth-
ers had bands, giving a sort of "knick-
erbocker" ef"teet. Altogether the re -
suit was incongruous and comical.
John Moore fancied he saw something
spec#:acular` in it all.
"I've got an Idea, Beulah," he said.
"I'in looking for a novelty, and that's
what brought me here. I want to
buy those chickens." .
Miss Beulah regarded her cousin
sharply and then suspiciously.
"They're not for sale," she declared
at once.
"Then I want to borrow them -rent
them, we'll call it. For one day, Beu-
lah, overcoats and, all. I'll agree to
return them safe and sound How
many are there?"
"Twenty-two."
"Very well; I'll give you fifty cents
apiece to help make a show with them
for one day. There's your money, and
Pil call for them, in the morning. If,
that wise head of yours can think up
sante comical frills and other additions
to 'those Overcoats, as -you call them,
the better it will be for my purpose."
"See here, Johns' challenged Miss
Beulah, "whatever wild speculation
have you got in that busy head of
yours now?'
"Just this, 'Beulah,'.' explained John.
"I'm country committeeman. There's
an election day after to -morrow, as II
suppose you.know.",
"No, I didn't know," replied the lady
very distantly. 'I never look at the
papers—now."
Her eyes dropped rather sadly as
she said this. Her cousin shot a quick
glance at her and shook his head and
sighed. Miss Beulah had been almost
a recluse: for nearly two years: The
reason for it no one ever ventured to
discuss in her presence, It was a ta-
booed .subject

"Well, ell, we, eose working up a proses-

Digestion of Starches.
The rsroeess of digestion with
starches ,starts in the mouth. It is
most important that all food contain-
ing starch be thoroughly masticated.
Failure to chew food thoroughly will
prevent the saliva from acting upon
the starch and prevent the continua-
tion of this,important process in the
stomach. When starch foods are thor-
aughly masticated the action of the
saliva continues upon the food in the
stomach for at least half an, hour, un-
til checked by the acidity of the gastric
juices. It is for this reason many
persons are unable to eat starchy
foods with other food containing fruit
or vegetable acids. e
The stomach ferments do not act
upon starch as it passes into the small
intestine. The pancreatic juice and
iitestinaI ferments complete the final
changes which occur and are absolute-
ly necessary to convert the starches
into soluble Sugars.
It is necessary to combine starchy
foods with protein foods, as all excess
starch is stored in the body in the
form of fat.
Cooking Starches.
Starchy foods ,must be thoroughly
cooked, owing to the fact that few, if

marry hinds of sugars.
The most familial of them is the cane
sugar, Sugar is also & trained from
beet roots, maple trees and certain
kinds of palms.
Sugar is also found in vegetaales,
fruits and milk. The greatest amount
comes from sugar cane, which is a
plant somewhat resembling corn. It
is crushed between rollers, extract-
ing the sweet juice, which is clarified
and evaporated until,upon eooling, its
crystals appear in ar thick liquid. This
liquid is molasses, The crystals aro
brown -sugar.
The brown sugar, bya processof re-
g
fining, is made into many kinds of su-
gar known to housewives.
Grape and fruit sugars are found
inr. n
g a„e., peaches and cattier fruits.
It is two and one-half times less sweet
than cane. Glucose is manufactured
on a large scale from corn. Lactose,
or milk sugar, is found in milk. The
commerical sugar of milk comes from
Switzerland, and is made by evaporat-
ing the whey of the cow's milk. It
is used for sweetening drinks for in-
fants and the sick, •It is less liable to
produce, acid fermentation than cane
sugar and is more easily digested.
The Food Value of Sugar.
Sugar is valuable as a nutriment,
easy to digest and quickly absorbed
by the body. Cane sugar, in the pro-
cess of digestion, owing to the action
of the pancreatic juices, is converted
into glucose, and after -its absorption
it is' completely utilized in furnishing
heat and energy.
Sugar may he used freely during
cold weather without 'injurious effects,
but only a small amount should be
used during hot weather.
lN':in-the-War Recipes.
Every time cornmeal is used where
wheat products were once used, we
help to win the war. Have cornmeal
mush for breakfast, with figs, dates
or fruit for variety; use cornmeal in
quiet breads, yeast breads, desserts.
Omit all wheat breakfast cereals. Use
rolled oats for muffins, rolls and yeast
raised bread.
Cornmeal Muffins.—One cupful sour
milk, one and one-third cupfuls flour,
two-thirds cupful , cornmeal, one to
two tablespoonfuls fat, one to two
tablespoonfuls sugar, one egg, one-
half teaspoonful soda, two teaspoon-
fuls baking powder, one-half teaspoon-
ful salt. Mix' milk, egg and melted
fat and add dry ingredients well mix-

DOMINION FROM SEA TO STA.
The idea of Our Country's Name
Came From the /2nd Petilsn.
The British North America Act
which made Canada a Dominion came
into force on Silly 1, 18(37, and that
original essay in Dominion self-gov-
ernment
elf ov-ernment has richly justified the faith
and foresight of those who undertook
it, says the Glasgow Herald.
The Convention sat in`;a room in the
Westminster e tester paTace'Hotel, in London,
which is now the smoking -room of the
National Liberal Club. A tablet ;fix-
ed in the wall records the fact that in
this chamber the delegates conferred.
Those who took part in the proceed-
ings are all dead. - Sir Charles Tup-
per was the last survivor, and he died
at a ripe old age a very few years ago.
The word "Dominion" was suggested
by the Bible.
Sir Leonard Tilley had been read-
ing in the 72nd Psalm "He' shall have
dominion from sea to, sea," and
thought the passage applicable to
Canada.
An English farmer was recently
fined seventy-five pounds' for refusing
to deliver his Swohl to a dealer named
by the British war authorities.

British Shrapnel` Explodes More
Quietly than 'Does German.
Writing rs..
ting frond British field head-
quarters, Edward P. Bell, says:---
Listening
ays.—Listening to the explosion--con-
tinuous
xplosion--con-tinuous as I write—of British and
German shrapnel shells, one notes a
striking difference in the sounds -pro-
duced. The British shells matte a
comparatively* soft report, while the
German projectiles make a piercing,
shattering sound like that of a ter-
rible thunderclap. Moreover, ,,the
subsequent sounds are different, those
from the German shells being more
sibilant in quality and greater in
volume than those from the British
shells.
Whichshellis the more destructive
I cannot say. The German has a
sharper, louder report, due to the fact
that is is charged not % only' with
shrapnel bullets, but with lligh explo-
sive materials, This material bursts
the, steel shell case so that the whistl-
ing noises following are caused by a
mixture of bullets and fragments of
steel.
The British shell case, on the doth-
er hand, does not burst. It remains
intact and pours its bullets from the
shell mouth as a shotgun pours its
shot; thus perhaps the bullets are
N
:LAI'
brought to bear more effectively in a.
definite direction, . Certainly the
British must have some good reason
for using the type employed.
Brother Fritz's penchant for
"frightfulness" shows itself in all he
does. There is probably no doubt, as
regards his high explosive shranel
shell, that he reasons that, whether
it is really more destructive than the
other or not, it is calculated to pro-
duce greater fright—a thing which
commanders', always must fight
against among their troops.' happily
for the British army, Tommy Atkins
is about the hardest man to scare that
ever wore a uniform.
Not To Be Cheated..
Little John had been extra specially
good that afternoon, and father felt
amiably inclined.
"papa," piped John, "can I have a
banana?
"Yes, certainly, seenny."
"Papa,; if I was twins would you',
give the other boy a banana too?"
"Yes, of eourse.a,
"Well, papa, yon aren't going to
cheat me out of another banana just
because I'm all in one piece, are you?'r
