Meat and meat -like foods are heat intensifiers. The adult requires very little meat to maintain health. Many learners in perfect health have never used it at all. Denmark, by a wise study of the nation's food resources and by instruction based on a knowl- edge of scientific facts, maintained the nation's health during the food stringency of the Great War, without destroying her great dairy herds, the may possible source of meat during that period. Combinations of. .foods, into which meats and fats enter largely, should not be used during warm weather, bee::arc digestion in such weather should not he delayed, and mixtures of the difreeent types of food are dige:-.ted less quickly than when the materials are served sing'Iy. A'1 cereals must be thoroughly cooked. Thir is important at all times but duras; the summer months it is r .,iive. 'fl a idea of Coolness is given by the color green.

The products of the garden should appear en the table for breakfast, din- ner and supper. Children should be required to use them freely. Adults who do net use them cern their pun- ishn:ent.

When the gracna are tender drain them, and use the liquor as a basis for any kind of sauce to be served as an accompani- ment. If the vegetable is to be served simply with butter, salt and pepper, ase the liquor in soup.

Good sight is perhaps the most ing- portant thing in life, yet more than one-fifth of the men rejected for army' sorviee wore rejected because of de- fective sight and one-half as many more were rejected because of poor teeth, Mothers are urged to give more attention to the care of the eyes and teeth of their children. The child's teeth should be cleaned as soon as it has any. Wrap a bit of eternized muslin around the finger, dip in boraeic acid solution, and swab the mouth and teeth each morning, As the child grows older, teach him to brush his own teeth at least Wee daily, At least once a year, if pos- sible, have a dentist look his teeth aver and fill any cavities. Many'par- ents cannot afford this, but free clinics have been established: in, 1iraXhy places, Do rlet let the baby lie in strong sunlight or stare at the lamp.

After taking the sweater through three suds -waters, rinse thoroughly, then spread out very carefully upon a dry sheet. Place on top several Turkish towels, on top of them place books or other weights. The sweater when dry will look as if it had been ironed and will not have stretched a particle. Two or three days will be sufficient to dry it thoroughly. Dumb Patience. Ally number of girls can play this game. Place in a circle as many chairs, less two, as there are players; then set another chair in the centre of the circle. Turn the hacks of the chars toward the centre and leave sufficient space between every tu'o chairs to allow a person to pass, Choose one gift to direct the game and one to represent dumb Patience. The director stands, the others sit; Pa- tience occupies the chair in the centre of the circle. She may not speak, but she may laugh, cry or make other sounds. The director's business is to watch Patience and to tell the other players, who of course have their backs turned, just what she is doing; they, on their part, must imitate Pa- tience in everything. For example, if Patience laughs, the director calls, "Patience laughs," and aII the others must laugh; if she goes through the motion of brushing her hair, the di- rector says, "Patience brushes her hair," and they must all do it. The director is the only player who may speak. When Patience gets tired she leaves her chair, passes out of the circle and runs round the others, who jump up. and follow her. When she sits down, all sit down, except the one who fails to get a seat; she must •be Patience for the next round of the game. Clock Coolcics. The older sister of a little girl invalid who had to take disagreeable medicine every day thought of the following scheme: Every day she made some round cookies and spread on each cooky a pink or a white frosting. Then, with a clean camel's-hair brush dipped in chocolate icing, she painted on the frosting a clock dial that show- ed the sugar hands at the hour at which her sister was to take her medi- cine. If the little girl refused to take it, she forfeited the cooky that pro- claimed the portentous hour, DYED CHILD'S COAT AND HER OLD SKIRT 'Diamond Dyes" Made Faded, Shabhy Apparel so Fresh and New.

A Mortifying Question. Marjorie was taken to her room, where a physician attended her. Henry li eifinloelc was examined and testified substantially as follows: "I had dinner lust evening with Judge Blackburn, and afterward we went to his study where we sat talk- ing for perhaps an hour. In the course of our conversation we disagreed on a certain matter, and I'nr afraid that each of us became more heated than was necessary. In any event, we parted in anger. I returned a little Dater and apologized for my display of temper. After that I went home. I knew nothing of his death until a detective came to my house about ten o'clock last night and placed me under arrest." "You say you had a dis grement," the coroner remarked, "Willcement you tell us, please, what you disagreed about'?" "It was really nothing of moment," said the lawyer in his calm, precise way. "It was, in fact, a quite trivial matter, and my only reason for men- tioning it is to explain why I returned to Judge Blackburn's study." "How long, did you remain with him the second time?" "A few minutes only. I went away again almost immediately." "Did you see any person as you went out?" "Yes;I saw Miss Blackburn and Mr. Quinn." "Where were they?" "In Miss Blackburn's sitting room." "Did either of them see you?" asked the coroner. "I think not. Both had their backs toward me." "You didn't speak to them, or other- wise draw their attention?" "No; I merely glanced into the room as I passed, and walked on." "Did you notice anything there— or anywhere else before leaving the house that might arouse suspicion?" "Yes. On the desk in the sitting - room, I saw a pearl -handled revolver." "Is this the revolver you saw?"— and the coroner passed the weapon to hint. "It appears to be the same one." "While you were here last night, did Judge Blackburn say anything in your presence that would indicate he was expecting sudden death?" "He showed are an anonymous let- ter, threatening his life." "Is this the letter he showed you?" asked the coroner, handing him the sheet of note -paper. Mcrinlock read the message, exam - hied the paper carefully on both sides and returned it, "Yes, that's the one." At this juncture Quinn scribbled something on the back of an envelope. Unnoticed he slipped it -to a fellow reporter, who, after reading it, quietly laid it on the table before the coroner. The coroner's eye fell upon the note, as he was asking a question of no great importance. He asked two or three more and then, unexpectedly, said: "Mr. Mcrinlock, have you ever pro- posed marriage to Miss Blackburn?" The pointblank interrogation had a startling effect upon the attorney. His cool self-assurance, which had char- acterized him up till now, vanished instantly. Pante seized him. "W—why," he stammered, his face reddening"why since you ask are —yes. But I quite fail to see how your question has any relation—" "When did you propose marriage to her?" "S think—if I remember correctly— yes, it was the day before yesterday. But what bearing has this—" The coroner again cut him short: "What answer did she give you?" Why, my dear man!" sputtered the lawyer, beside himself with angry con- fusion. "You surely don't expect—" "Answer the question, please." "And if I don't?" "You refuse to answer it?" "I do—emphatically!" "Very well." The coroner turned to his assistant: "Recall Miss Blackburn to the witness chair." CHAPTER XL "I Hilted Judge Blackburn!" Marjorie's physician sent word that the girl was unable to leave her roam at this moment. Zuttermeister was questioned instead. "Did you see Mr. Henry McKinloek go to Judge Blackburn's study last night at a little past nine o'clock?" the coroner asked. "Yes, sir." "Aid you see him depart?" "No, sir." • "Tell us all you know concerning the death of Judge Blackburn." "I opened the door for Mr. Merin - lock when he called here the second time last evening, and announced his arrival to my employer. I then came downstairs and told Mr. 14Iddinloek the judge would see him. After that, I went outdoors—" "•One moment! Why did you go out- dorii?" "I often stroll outside of an even- ing," he said calmly, "just to get a breath of fresh air before turning in for the night," "While you were outdoors last night," pursued the coroner, "did. you speak to anybody?" "Yes, sir. I generally walk back to the garage for a good night that with the chauffeur, Frederick Rieke, and. I was with him last night when I hoard Inc two revolver shots. I rushed back to the house and ran upp. stairs to the judge's study. I hound Mr, Quinn there. Judge Blackburn was dead." "What ivas Mr, 'Quinn doing?" "Ile was standing near the desk, and I saw him put the revolver—the same one that you've exhibited here, air—in his overcoat pocket. Ile then hurriedly searched the judge's desk until he found the slice of blue note- paper, which he also pocketed." "Was Mr. Quinn in Judge Mack - burn's study when you announced the arrival of Mr. McKinlock?" "Yes, sir," "Did you overhear anything they said to each ether?" "1 overheard enough to warrant the belief that they were not on friendly terms. I gathered that they had dis- agreed about Miss Blackburn, also about the heritage which she was to receive from her uncle," With this damning bit of testimony, the serv- ant's examination ended. Frederick Hicks, the chauffeur, was called, He corroborated Zuttermeis- ter's statement that they frequently met in the chauffeur's room above the garage, and that Zuttermeister had been there on the previous evening when the 'shots were fired. The two policemen, Flynn and Belly, were examined next, and deelared they had searched the house from top to bottom, soon after the murder and had found nothing. The called:"M policemen hrDovfgaps Quinnl!" coroner Throughout the .inquest, Quinn in- termittently had been "sizing up" the coroner's jury—chiefly composed of men gathered hastily together in the neighborhood—and he perceived in them, or believed he did a determina- tion to have Marjorie held for (inurder. This, and the testimony of Zutter- meister, persuaded him to do a des- perate thing. As he crossed the room and took the chair, facing the coroner across the table, he was fully resolved there was but one way left to save the girl he had hoped to marry—and he un- hesitatingly took this way, heedless of its peril. "Mr. Quinn," said the coroner, "can you supply any clue to the identity of the person who killed .Tudge Black- burn in this house last night?" "I can do even better than that," said Quinn, looking the coroner etead'- ily in the eye. "I am the person who killed Judge Blackburn!" (Concluded next week.) Horses Thrive on Seaweed.

The lua.ple tree In early springtime becomes a syrup jug. It le mighty good syrup, too, when one can get the real stuff. The puzzle used to be ltow and why this happens. Now the secret,is under- stood. Beneath the Mark of the inapie's trunk and branches is a cellular struc- ture, 1r1 which starch is stored. The starch Is food, and when spring comes it is wanted to make new growth. But the tree cannot digest starch, and tbereforo the latter is converted bat -enemies (inorganic .ferments) iuto sugar. The sugar, dissolved in the tree sap, is carried JD the form of.a thin syrup to all parts of the tree, disc tributing nourishment, The syrup flows upward and out- ward toward tate twigs and budding leaves, and the warmth of the sun causes ft to expand. There 1s gas, too, in the cellular structure of the sap wood, and it expands under the same genial Influence. The result is a pressure downward, and so, when a hole is bored Iso the tree trunk the syrup trickles out. A goodsized sugar maple tree will yield fifty quarts, or enough to make three pounds of sugar wben boiled down. Crumbs. A guilty mind punishes itself. 4VII1Cul waste makes woeful want.

Oar wild. fowl under modern con- ditions onditions either tend to disappear or forsake their former haunts in favor of more unsettled regions. Dile rea- son for this is the scarcity of -suitable feeding grounds in settled distriets. Wild rice attracts the wild fowl and furnishes food for them.
