"He's going to Alaska." "To ---Alaska! And, pray, what's he chasin' off to a heathen country like that for?" "'Tisn't heathen—kleska isn't," fleshed Helen, vaguely irritated with- out knowing why. "Heathen countries are—are always hot. Alaska's cold. Isn't Alaska up north—to the pole, 'most? It used to be., when I went to school." "Maybe ''tis; but that ain't sayin' why Ire's goin' there, instead of with you," retorted Mrs, Cobb, In spite of ebanteringto e in tvhr:ch this was ubteeed, disapproval was plainly evi- dent in airs.'Cobb's- voice. ""He's going with his father," answered Ilelen, with some dignity. "His father!

"Ten—thousand—dollars l" "Yes," bowed Helen, wdth a tri- umphant "I"told-you-eo" air, as Mrs. Cobb's eyes seemed almost to pop out of her head.. "They dent it this very afternoon," "For the land's sake!" breathed Mrs, Cobb. Then, as her dazed wits began to collect themselves, a new look carne to her eyes, "They sent it?" she cried. "By special messenger—yes," bow. ed Ilelen, again hnportently. "But how funny to send it instead of bringing it hirhself—your husband, I mean." Too late Helen saw her mistake. In a panic,, now, lest unpleasant truths be discovered; she assumed an espec- ially light, cheerful manner: "Oh, no, I don't think it was funny a bit. He—he wanted it a -surprise, I guess. And he wrote -a letter, you know.' A lovely letter, all about what a good time Baby and I could have with the money." The suspicion in Mrs. Cobb's eyes became swift conviction. An angry red stained her cheeks but it was not anger at Helen. That was dearly to be seen. > (To be continued.) AGE-OLD DOOR -KNOCKERS. The origin of door -knockers 1s a1 - most lost in obscurity, and their devel- opment from mere articles, of unity to objects of art has been a long, slow process of evolution covering centuries and antedating western civilization by many l ndrods of years. The first general use of,knockers that is positively known was among the ancient Greeks, who probably adopted them from the Egyptians. We are told that the Greeks considered it a broach of good manners to enter a hoose without warning the. inmates, and that the Spartans gave this notice be' shouting their arrival, while the Athenians, announced themselves .by using the knocker. Its introduction doubtless came at the time when doors superseded hang-121gs, for the purpose of Insuriiig greater safety or privacy, In the Greek houses of the better class a porter was in constant attend- ance at the d001; t0 admit visitors. Slaves were usually employed in this capacity, and were chairteii to the door posts to prevent their wandering and shirking the monotony of the task. They often went to, sleep while on duty and in 'order to a.wicen them a short bar of Iron was fastened to the door by a Chain to be used as a rapper by Mote desiring entrahee to the arouse. It is said that this strictly utilitarian rapper, as it was' first called, was of - ton wrenched from the door to be used as a weapon of offense by visitors who wese.not friendly.disposed toward the householder.' A later development was a direct consequence o£ this mis- use, the next type being in the form of a heavy ring tastonecl by a strong clamp or .plate- to the door, thus serv- ing the double purpose of knocker and hind] o. From Greece the custom was trans- ferred to the Romans, and with the western trend of early civilization to nearly every country of Europe., The introduction of knockers to, England, where together -with Italy and Ger- many they have. attained the greatest artistic development, was no doubt due to the Roman conquest of western Europe and Britain. • Perspiration 'stains should be re mpvecl by rubbing with soap and lay- irart'he garment in the het sun, ts n 4417� S�UPS COVER ENT CUARWNFEwD, FO . ilR TY i k s.a z. u Tv„ ,r9 �o NAP 611,1 f, ORME ELICHTRII, • C 1,41Iikatei rso.ereetaiii • �t;I7 fi"ifiat ',dla"a apt • .r t7 UNITY OF ENGLIISI NATIONS IS URGED E63T INSURANCE by Ti -IS PEACE oP Trim WQRCD, p - Great 13r11aln and United States Must Oo,Operato to Ensure Enforcement ,' of the.

Similarity of 'Character. To my mind this success In Anglo- American co-operation has been due to the fact that, notwithstanding minor intellectual differences, the British and American characters alae fundamental- ly the same. Both nations are given to frankness and to talking things out, They lack the sensitiveness of the La- tins. They are essentially practical. When those qualities aro present the People b eo fle who have a common object ct ar'e bound to agree If they thinlc'hard enough. Tho outstanding event at the Peace Conference is not the acceptance of the league of nations and the treaty by more than a agora 'of nations speak- ing Almost as many different lan- guages. It is the demonstration which it has given that in peace as well as in war the statesmen of the United States and Groat Britain can success fully work together .in solving the most complex and difficult of Interna- tional problems. The reasons for an Anglo-American friendship: seen to me so manifest that I confess I iincl some difficulty in understanding the point of view of those in either country who are op- posed to such a friendship or deem it impracticable. There must be many such people or I would not so often hear Of them. The safest basis for the friendship of the English-speaking peoples of the world is not found in our common tra- ditIona n01' in the fact that we speak the same language and have the sauna mo'al and intellectual inheritance, That basis aloe has not been suf• ficient to insure an effective friendship in the past, We must look for a more practical basis—a basis founded not only on sentiment, but on enlightened national selfishness. Isere, it seems to me, is who's wo find the strongest basis tor our friendship. Our two nations'have a greater In- terest in the peace of the world than any other nations, and wo have tiro greatest power to enforce peace, Together we control a very large pro- portion of the exportable raw meter. ials and food of the world. No one questions the solvency of either nation. When the treaty of Paris was signed neither nation had any territorial as- pirations. The chief concern of each w!11 be to`maintain peace throughout the normal and to encourage world ( tfle movements of trade and commerce. There should be no rivalries, but the friendly rivalries of trade and corn - memo. \ There' will, of course, be disagree- ments, but they should all be of the category of differences that can he set- tled by frank and open negotiations between nations who leave the intelli- gence 'and strength of character to plaice sacrifices in small things for the sake of safeguarding the big things. Peace of World Ensured. If Great Britain and the United ,Suites can understand 011e another and work together, tate policies they advocate will bo acepted by the world. because they will. be policies that will make for peace and they will be back- ed by the newer to enforce thein. With such backing the new. league of na- tions Without it 1 n ))o effective. t L01 s la Y The H it will 1)e. as impotent ( is aygue tribunal. What we should work for is this, not a -treaty or alliance written on parchment or based en legislative era rtctriient, a but a sonnei and lasting friendship inspired by our cchlunon his- tory and sanctlf ed by our common eacl'ifioes in the groat war, based on conation aims and nioi'e than all, upon mutual willingness to, make sacrifices fol what must be the chief. desire of the people of both nations—the peace of the world, No nation will gain more frost an .Anglo-American Irieudsilip 'than Franca Both Great Brlteln and the United States must always steed for the protection of France against Gorman aggression.

"Much o3 the burden of preparing meals for threshers could be elimin- ated if the housekeepers tvon-Id choose foods with care and apply their skill to the preparation of simpler meals," writes an experienced housekeeper. "The 121e011 should include a tissue - building food, such as meat or n meat substitute; a starchy vegetable lace' potatoes; one or two green vegetables such as onions, cabbage, string beans, tomatoes or corn; bread and butter; a simple dessert of fruit, pudding, plain cake or pie, with tea or coffee. Te following dinners were serv- ed on three successive days by Y a young woman who has learned the secget of simplicity and careful plan- ning: - "Vint day: Roastt beef, gravy, browned potatoes, green beans, sliced tomatoes, ,bread and butter, honey, cream pie, coffee, iced tea. "Second day: Beef. loaf, mashed po- tatoes, rico • and tomatoes, cabbage salad, apple sauce, pumpkin pie, cheese, iced tea, eoli'ee. "Third clay: Deiced chicken, mashed. potatoes, baked beans, beet pickles, sliced tomatoes, Corn .bread!, apple butter, fresh blackberries and cream, iced tea, coffee, "The woman who plarmo1 these meals, writes: 'I begin my threshing 1gYperiod byiread as dgetting asmach fl,g Possible. of stseh foods as would not be wasted should rain or a breakdown occur.

By planning the meals and getting things I mentioned ready 'beforehand I can manage with the help of one person. I could have more. help, but I much Prefer having fewer people about.' " The following menu's may be help- ful ,in planning the meals for the harvest season: "Dinner; Baked ham, boiled pots, toes, creamed peas, stewed apples, radishes, bread, lemon pie, iced tea, milk. a Super: Cold sliced ham, mustard, , potato salad, buttered :beets, pieties, bread, preserves, baked 'custard, cocoa, iced tea and milk.

This will be the c'heape'st food in the long run: Oatmeal is claimed by all to be the cheapest breakfast food, but if any member of your fafnily can not digest 14; it is far from cheap for that individual, In my own family one child has never been able to di- gest oatmeal.

"Maybe ''tis; but that ain't sayin' why Ire's goin' there, instead of with you," retorted Mrs, Cobb, In spite of ebanteringto e in tvhr:ch this was ubteeed, disapproval was plainly evi- dent in airs.'Cobb's- voice.

"They dent it this very afternoon," "For the land's sake!" breathed Mrs, Cobb. Then, as her dazed wits began to collect themselves, a new look carne to her eyes, "They sent it?" she cried. "By special messenger—yes," bow. ed Ilelen, again hnportently. "But how funny to send it instead of bringing it hirhself—your husband, I mean." Too late Helen saw her mistake.

An angry red stained her cheeks but it was not anger at Helen. That was dearly to be seen. > (To be continued.) AGE-OLD DOOR -KNOCKERS. The origin of door -knockers 1s a1 - most lost in obscurity, and their devel- opment from mere articles, of unity to objects of art has been a long, slow process of evolution covering centuries and antedating western civilization by many l ndrods of years. The first general use of,knockers that is positively known was among the ancient Greeks, who probably adopted them from the Egyptians. We are told that the Greeks considered it a broach of good manners to enter a hoose without warning the. inmates, and that the Spartans gave this notice be' shouting their arrival, while the Athenians, announced themselves .by using the knocker. Its introduction doubtless came at the time when doors superseded hang-121gs, for the purpose of Insuriiig greater safety or privacy, In the Greek houses of the better class a porter was in constant attend- ance at the d001; t0 admit visitors. Slaves were usually employed in this capacity, and were chairteii to the door posts to prevent their wandering and shirking the monotony of the task. They often went to, sleep while on duty and in 'order to a.wicen them a short bar of Iron was fastened to the door by a Chain to be used as a rapper by Mote desiring entrahee to the arouse. It is said that this strictly utilitarian rapper, as it was' first called, was of - ton wrenched from the door to be used as a weapon of offense by visitors who wese.not friendly.disposed toward the householder.' A later development was a direct consequence o£ this mis- use, the next type being in the form of a heavy ring tastonecl by a strong clamp or .plate- to the door, thus serv- ing the double purpose of knocker and hind] o. From Greece the custom was trans- ferred to the Romans, and with the western trend of early civilization to nearly every country of Europe., The introduction of knockers to, England, where together -with Italy and Ger- many they have. attained the greatest artistic development, was no doubt due to the Roman conquest of western Europe and Britain. • Perspiration 'stains should be re mpvecl by rubbing with soap and lay- irart'he garment in the het sun, ts n 4417� S�UPS COVER ENT CUARWNFEwD, FO . ilR TY i k s.a z. u Tv„ ,r9 �o NAP 611,1 f, ORME ELICHTRII, • C 1,41Iikatei rso.ereetaiii • �t;I7 fi"ifiat ',dla"a apt • .r t7 UNITY OF ENGLIISI NATIONS IS URGED E63T INSURANCE by Ti -IS PEACE oP Trim WQRCD, p - Great 13r11aln and United States Must Oo,Operato to Ensure Enforcement ,' of the.

Similarity of 'Character. To my mind this success In Anglo- American co-operation has been due to the fact that, notwithstanding minor intellectual differences, the British and American characters alae fundamental- ly the same. Both nations are given to frankness and to talking things out, They lack the sensitiveness of the La- tins. They are essentially practical. When those qualities aro present the People b eo fle who have a common object ct ar'e bound to agree If they thinlc'hard enough. Tho outstanding event at the Peace Conference is not the acceptance of the league of nations and the treaty by more than a agora 'of nations speak- ing Almost as many different lan- guages. It is the demonstration which it has given that in peace as well as in war the statesmen of the United States and Groat Britain can success fully work together .in solving the most complex and difficult of Interna- tional problems. The reasons for an Anglo-American friendship: seen to me so manifest that I confess I iincl some difficulty in understanding the point of view of those in either country who are op- posed to such a friendship or deem it impracticable. There must be many such people or I would not so often hear Of them. The safest basis for the friendship of the English-speaking peoples of the world is not found in our common tra- ditIona n01' in the fact that we speak the same language and have the sauna mo'al and intellectual inheritance, That basis aloe has not been suf• ficient to insure an effective friendship in the past, We must look for a more practical basis—a basis founded not only on sentiment, but on enlightened national selfishness. Isere, it seems to me, is who's wo find the strongest basis tor our friendship. Our two nations'have a greater In- terest in the peace of the world than any other nations, and wo have tiro greatest power to enforce peace, Together we control a very large pro- portion of the exportable raw meter. ials and food of the world. No one questions the solvency of either nation. When the treaty of Paris was signed neither nation had any territorial as- pirations. The chief concern of each w!11 be to`maintain peace throughout the normal and to encourage world ( tfle movements of trade and commerce. There should be no rivalries, but the friendly rivalries of trade and corn - memo. \ There' will, of course, be disagree- ments, but they should all be of the category of differences that can he set- tled by frank and open negotiations between nations who leave the intelli- gence 'and strength of character to plaice sacrifices in small things for the sake of safeguarding the big things. Peace of World Ensured. If Great Britain and the United ,Suites can understand 011e another and work together, tate policies they advocate will bo acepted by the world. because they will. be policies that will make for peace and they will be back- ed by the newer to enforce thein.

"Much o3 the burden of preparing meals for threshers could be elimin- ated if the housekeepers tvon-Id choose foods with care and apply their skill to the preparation of simpler meals," writes an experienced housekeeper. "The 121e011 should include a tissue - building food, such as meat or n meat substitute; a starchy vegetable lace' potatoes; one or two green vegetables such as onions, cabbage, string beans, tomatoes or corn; bread and butter; a simple dessert of fruit, pudding, plain cake or pie, with tea or coffee. Te following dinners were serv- ed on three successive days by Y a young woman who has learned the secget of simplicity and careful plan- ning: - "Vint day: Roastt beef, gravy, browned potatoes, green beans, sliced tomatoes, ,bread and butter, honey, cream pie, coffee, iced tea.

This will be the c'heape'st food in the long run: Oatmeal is claimed by all to be the cheapest breakfast food, but if any member of your fafnily can not digest 14; it is far from cheap for that individual, In my own family one child has never been able to di- gest oatmeal.
