She rose and held out her hand to Burt, upon whose face black gloom had descended. She gave a relieved sigh as she sank back against the cushions beside Clay, who, sensing her mood, gave silent attention to the "flivver." Finally she spoke, slowly, as musing aloud. "There's no sense in it—not a bit." His look was a question. Juliette Continued. "I was thinking about the water proposition." She straightened up. I'm in earnest.

She Starts A Ball To Rolling. the veranda; The sun had dropped behind the purple peaks, and in the softened light' the girl made a pleas- ing picture. The picture impressed Burt. A new, stirring, entrancing idea fasten- ed upon him as he strode up the steps -acid idea which, by the time he had taken the girlie hand in greeting, had ripened -into firm resolve. Nor was his thought difficult for Juliette to divine, even before he and demand his signature. Juliette turned astonished and de- lighted eyes upon him. She had been thinking of him as a big, strong, un- trained' boy, and she had found him a keen, forceful man of actidn. "I'll draw up the petition myself. We'll doit to -night," he..went en with growing fire. "And you can help me, Dare, By George, we'll run right up to my house and do it now(" The old petty rebellion against meekly submitting to another's will seized upon Juliette. She felt con- fused; carried away by the force of his will, and resented it, "But I don't care to go to your house, Clay," she flared indignantly. He only gave a great, eager, boyish laugh. "It's all right, Dare—my aunt Mary's there. And you're going. You've started this ball to rolling, and now ,you can finish it." "Oh," said Juliette, and leaned back, "oh, very well, Clay."

Taste the ease of the Irish potato, When you pare it ancl, being.IA cleanly person, slip it into a pan of water for a while before putting it -on the fire, do you know that you pare off 'and soak out of it a Mee round percentage of its food value? 'Likewise, when you pour awd'y the first boiling water from your root and green vegetables, do you know that you send down the kitchen' sink not a little of the Seed you have worked hard to grow? ,The body's need of mineral foods long have been known, and here they are in vegetables ready for the using. The beating of the heart, the building of the tissues, the forming of the red blood cells, all depend in part on the mineral matter taken into the' body from the food, Calcium, sodium, po- tassium, sulphur, phosphorus, all these and more, are needed or the work of the body will not go on satis- factorily. Whether or not vegetable substance is being wasted in cooking, is not merely a question of economy, reckon- ed from the standpoint of dollars and cents; it is also one of nutrition, of how much we are cheating our bodies. A series of analyses was made re- cently at one of our Agricultural Col- leges to determine -the exact losses in boiling such vegetables as potatoes, carrots and cabbage. The common Irish potato was pared and soaked in water for a short time before being put over the fire. Then other potatoes were washed in their jackets, plunged into boiling water and cooked rapidly. This results showed a gain of at least fifteen per cent. food value f or the potatoes cook- ed in their jackets. As another experispent, spinach and cabbage, selected because they were I of common use and were known to be of the family of vegetables which lose most through boiling, were prepared as if for table service except for the I omission of the seasoning. s. The 1cspinawas washed carefully and the h crushed or otherwise damaged parts I were tossed aside. Just the neces- sary cleaning was found to result in a loss of one-third of the; purchase weight of this vegetable, including the 'usual sand and soil which clings to spinach and makes it difficult to clean. That no drops of water night adhere to the leaves, they were carefully dried. Following this they were mixed thoroughly to insure uniform samples and the whole quantity was divided into three parts. The first part was put aside for analysis of the fresh substance. The second was steamed over the kettle of boiling water. The third portion was boiled in as small a quantity of water as was pos- sible without the need of replenishing. The time required for the boiling and the, steaming was the same. When the two cooked' portions were uncovered the bulk of the spinach left from the steaming was at least one- half greater than that left by the boil- ing. The three portions were then spread on trays of enamel ware and dried in the ovens of the gas ranges, Finally these portions were ground, separate- ly of course, in a common coffee mill and bottled to await analysis. . Next, cabbage took its turn. It was washed, the siert discarded and one-sixthof the purchase weight went to waste. Three heads were selected, each divided into three parts to make the three samples representative. The same process as for the spinach was need: one-third for the drying, un- cooked; one-third for the steaming and one-third for the boiling, The steaming of the cabbage required a third more time than the boiling and the difference in bulk was noticeabie. For a. root vegetables, carrots were chosen, for it had been said that the common practice of the housekeeper of cutting the carrots in half or dic- Ing them to form a more attractive dish for the table, sacrificed much of the nutritive value; that carrots boil- ed whole retained their food values much better. The carrots selected for the experiment were chosen care- fully as to their relative size and weight. •They also were'divided into three lots. Some previous experi- ments bad shown that scraped carrots lost heavily in comparison with -the carrot cooked in its outer covering, which, may very easily be removed after cooking. Of theses three lots one was scraped, Put Hu -otitis a meat grinder and dried; another was washed and plunged into boiling water; the third was scraped,' cut into small and attractive pieces' and. nearly covered with boiling wa- ter, Of course it required more time fob the cooking of the carrots left whole than it did for the cooking of the carrots cut into small portions, When all were cooked they were crushed, dried in gas ovens, ground,'' weighed and put into bottles, The analysis followed. To average housekee eis' th tabu- lated p o ab sated loss in ash, phosphorus, calci -1 um and magnesium is unintelligible,' However, eve carp readily under- stand the statement that the -losses from boiling sn !na l were Almost fifty per cent., with thirty per cent,: for cabbage in boiling and fifteen per cent, for carrots. Steamed carrots' showed a gain of only three per cent. but the waste involved in scraping the fresh s carrots was twenty net cont. and that in peeling after boiling butt ten per cent, of the weight as purr chased. Each group'showed a very much laer loss of ealte from boiling than from steaming. g •. This also was was trur � of the 'dissolved sugar, .stares es and the like In latter ter class 3t was peev- ed t•oved that steamed carrots showed a loss of some six per cent, of the.alltount found in the raw sulietance, while Owe whldh were boiled whole allowed a loss of seeenteon per cent, and those DEN FOODS, boiled after Butting up, a loss of twenty-six per eent, In boiling, Ispinaeh gave up more than fifty per cent, of its salts and cabbage more than forty per•eent, of all salts pre- I sent in the fresh substance, while the carrots which were diced before boil- ing lost eleven and one-half per cent, of the total salts and twenty-three , per cent, of phosphorus in addition to the twenty-six per cent, soluble car- ''bohydrates, In Wile -method of +seeking, the loss in steaming was as small, relatively, Ias the gain was large, over Boiling. , Steaming conserved+ both the mineral substances of the green 'vegetables and the sugar of the carrots. q French investigation showed similar losses in the comparative coolting of Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, celery, asparagus, corn, beans and lenitlts which had been boiled for thirty m]- nutee. The average loss was thirty- six per cent. for total• mineral matter and fifty per cent. for potassium. A loss of potassium as high as seventy- two per cent. was . found from the long cooking • of several cereals, dried beans and peas, Consider now, the water in which vegetables are boiled, If boiled they must be, do not pour off the first we' ter. The French investigation show- ed that the water over which carrots had been steamed contained but six- ty -hundredths per cent. of the teteI material as compared with three and 'seventy-five hundredths per cent. found in the water in which they had been boiled. DEEDS OF A BRITISH PRIVATE RIVAL THE FEATS OF -KNIGHTS OF OLD How Private Beesley of an English Rifle Brigade Won the Coveted Victoria Cross The feats at arms of knights of old are rivalled in modern warfare by the remarkable record of Private Beesley, of the Rifle Brigade, who has just been awarded the Victoria Cross. When all the officers and non-com- missioned officers had been killed in an attack, Private Beesley took com- mand of his company., Leading the assault, he captured an enemy post single handed, killed twe Germans at their machine guns and then shot dead an officer who attempted to man, the guns. Three more officers rushed from a dugout. Ono attempt- ed to destroy a map. Beesley shot him, seized the map and made pris- oner the other officer. Pour more officers came out. They were dis- armed by the indomitable Beesley and sent back as prisoners. Held For Four Hours As the enemy began to retreat, a comrade brought up a machine gun. Beesley used this with great effect on the fleeing Germans. For four hours under a heavy fire Beesley and his comrades held their position. The Germans counter attacked and Bee- sley''s companion was wounded. Bee- sley kept his tewis gun going and held the enemy in check until long after the post on his left had been wiped out. ' Not until darkness -came did Beesley move beak to the original line. When he did, he brought along his wounded companion and the Lewis gun. Beesley then mounted the gun on a parapet and kept it going against the enemy until things had quieted down.* The Official Gazette says of Bee- sley;— • "Elis indomitable pluck, skilful shooting and good judgement in economizing ammunition stamp this incident as one of•the most brilliant I in recent operations." Of the ten other men awarded the Victoria Cross nearly all are members , of English county regiments, al- though there is one Canadian among the number.

Holiday Events Include Sports C3trnl- vals Whore Even Generalg Become Hainan. 'The British soldier has some novel-' ties 'to athletic diversions, Wrestling on mules, for instenee, is a speetaeu- lar sport. It is a team event, Four stout Wren from the transport section, stripped to the waist and mounted on bareback 'mules, represent each bat - Wien, and the team which has the last survivor wine, Beginning, each man singles out an opponent from the other side and makes 'for him. Four desperate struggles ensue, and it is oasY to see that whichever side gains the first victory is pretty sure to win. Thus, if a Warwick unhorses—or more strictly ummules—a Bedford, there are four Warwielce left to three Bedfords, so that, of the three battles still in progress, one is a two -to -one affair. In the end it is likely to be four -to - one, and an unhappy business for the one. Perhaps the most surprising thipg a about it is the kindly way in which the mules take to it. Their opportunities for biting suitably placed bodies are unlimited, but they seem more or less indifferent as to which side they favor, Sport for the Spectators. Pillow fighting' in gas masks, seated astride a pole, affords plenty of sport for the spectators, The pole may not be touched with the hands, so that there Is nothing to keep the contes- tants on it but balance. As often as not the first blow fl ashes the contest. If Soldier No, 1 lands a blow on his opponent's head, over goes"the op- ponent, but 11 the head of Soldier No. 2 is not there to take the blow, the swing of the pillow le,,quite likely to dispose of Soldier No. 1. Alterna- tively, both contestants may hit, miss, and' both disappear together. Mop -fighting, 'env:Itch the contes- tant is mounted on the back of an- other man, also makes an amusing number. The tug-of-war is always popular, and there is a good deal of horse racing and jumping. A popular form of horso race is one in which the second horse under the tape wins. It is difficult enough, in an ordinary race on horseback, to be Iirst•past the post; but it is said to bo much more difficult to be deliberately second. When Holidays are Celebrated It is a race which demands from the winner a good deal of judgment, a cer- tain amount of luck, and probably a self-sacrificing comrade in the same battalion, -who is prepared to immolate himself on behalf of the regiment. The horses, brought up to the old-style rac- ing, neves get to understand the jockeying that goea on in a race of this kind. Sports carnivals behind the lines are great holiday events, and The crowds of spectatoih are as interesting as those at peace -time events of rho sane character. In those holiday crowds, even generals become human, and the clowns and Pierrots of the brigade crack their jokes at the expense of staff officers with impunity. There are always, a few French eivitans from neighboring villages and all the child- ren from miles around. The guns roll faintly beyond the hills, forgotten by the crowd tor a day at least. TO EXACT PRICE OF PIRACY. Comrades Will Avenge 15,000 British Seamen Done to Death. Fifteen's thousand British seamen have been murdered by the enemy pirates. Very few people in Britain realize to the full the awful sacrifices that have been and continue to be made by the sailors of tile, mercantile marine in the course of their invaluable sea- faring duties, Mr. John klavlock Wilson, the presi- dent of the Seamen and Firemen's ?inion, has just brought the facts Home to the hearts of the nation. He made the startling statement that since the beginning of the War no less than 15,000 men and boys of the mercantile marine have lost their lives through German submarine at- tacks. And the pace grows hotter so far as the loss of life is conerned. For, says Mr. Wilson, although there has been a decline in the number of ships at- tacked, the Germans are more than eve1 determind that the sailors on the ships they do manage to sink shall none of them live to tell the damning tale of murder of which, our comrades have been, the victims. , The seafaring life is more popular than ever. Contrary to the hope with whiell the Germans Initiated unre- stricted murder by submarine, there has not been the slightest disposition upon the part of num or boy to for- sake the sea, As a,matter of fact, said Mr. Wilson, there are more men at sea than ever, and as .for the boys, the increase in theirnumbers in British ships bas surprised evoryoye unacquainted with their traditions as a seafaring people.

THE BIBLE IN LONG HAND, Occupied the Odd Moments of Leisure During 23 Years, A remarkable achievement, is the writing of the entire Bible, the work of Mr. Hugh Russell. 0f 182 Grand Boulevard, Notre Dame de Greco, Montreal, Strange to say, the volume is scarcely larger than the old style family Bible, and every page has been written with the groaest mire, requir- ing an infinite amount of patience end reverence such as would recall the tvorit of a mediaeval monk. Mr. Rus- sel is not a minister, as one might ex- pect. He also is, like the New Yorker tvho has memorised he 131ble, a "knight of the road," a plain commer- cial traveller. Mr. Russell, who is a Presbyterian and n devout believer in the. Book of Books, began his work of transcribing the Bible into mantfserlpt in 1594 end finished it ori St. Andrew's Day, 1010. ' Thn work, we understand, was done in odd moments of leisure during these 23 years•° The boolc in menu- ! script form rims t0 1,087 peges, and is written in a peculiar handwriting, lalmest half - printing, It is perfectly legible, and, says Air. Russell, "wine out making any boast, 1 weeld be will• Ing to offer $100 for any error or pmts. sion any one could [lad inn It," The book, which is beautifully bound in heavy black morocn0, is without doubt the bust copy of tho 'Bible in mane• script in existence. 1 • Substitution In Flour, In England and France from 15 rn 20 per cent. of wheat subsliiutian, chiefly core, barley and rice, are required by the food scarcity in the milling of flour.
