APPLE A DAY MEANS HEALTH.
"An apple a day keeps the doctor
away," has become quite an establish-
ed health maxim. Thi fi fruit, with its
mineral salts, acids and auger compo-
sition of both nutritive and medical
value, helps to tone the system to a
keener digestion.
But just how to serve the apple so
that it will be most tempting to the
family appetite and induce them to
consume their health quota of this
•fruit is often a preblern to mother.
When they become tired of just apale
sauce or baked apples, try some of
•these tested apple recipes to add
variety.

done with ease and speed in one hour
on an electric ironing machine.
In like manner, at least two hours
of the home -maker's time are saved
when washing is done electrically—a
cash saving of $81.20 a year in addi-
tion to the saving in soap and fuel.
When it comes to sweeping and
cleaning, the electric vacuum cleaner
is recognized as standard equipment.
It saves at least six ham a week,
which is a cash saving of $93 a pear
and puts an end to the semi-aneinal
upheaval known as house-cleaning.
Yet, after all, the cash value of the
housewife's tirne is not nearly so im-
portant as her moral and ethical influ-
ence, and the electrification of house-
hold tasks would maim, her a -Vetter

It has been stated that the crudest

lowed the old wornan's fumbling ef-
forts to lift 'the lid of the box she had
brought in. She waved away all offers
a assistante with the strange words
that it was her last duty to the dead.
At last her efforts were rewarded
and the lid flew back. Lun peered
into the box a looof-a-eve and rever-
ence intermik ngled with fear on her
wrinkled yellow- face. Slowly she drew
forth two large bluish -tinted envel-
opes, which she examined closely,
"Yes—this yours, Missee Tu Hee, and
this yours—madam. Read here—two
moons now."
Irma Culver, wondering and mysti-
fied, took the big legal -looking docu-
ment from the woman's hand.
Curiosity and amazeme,nt were rife
now among the spectators of this cur-
ious tableau. The little scene they
were witnessing " suddenly vibrated
with human interest, but even they
had no idea of the stupendous role
they were about to witness.
As Tu Hee looked at the envelope
her face went deadly pale. She recog-
nized the writing of her guardian.
Tearing away the blue flap, her
trembling 'fingers drew forth a folded
oblong parchment. The people sure
rounding her were forgotten, as eager-
ly and lovingly her eyes sought the
last message of her beloved relative.
It was in Englieh, all of it.
"My datling Tu Hee, my Autuma
Gladness, for indeed you have been
that every moment yot have breathed
t
eve, you are a foreigner by birth, a
American--"
But Tu Hee 'a blinded eyes saw no
more. They saw not even the wonder-.
ing faces surroundmg her. Dazedly
her hand went to her head, as if to
tartlet away the laideeqs aightmere
that clutched her; then with a little
moan she staggered and would have
fallen had not David caught hex.
Tenderly he carried her 'to a couch,
but so startling' white was the feee he
looked into that his heart stood still
with sudden fear, Before he could
voice it, however, Neil Culver pushed
hint aside arid bent •over the slight

"She'll be all- right presently,. Open

Culverai voice was cool, authorita-
tive—the voice of the capable physi-
elan.
"No please don't crowd, around --
she need e all the air—why, Irma,
dear!" The last words were address-,
ed to his wife,- who had thrown herself
beside the couch, laughing .and crying.

A dim light of understanding broke
into the room, but dire as it was it

sweeping lawns of the Weng Toy gar-

Nor was the generous bounty can -

as the sinooth, clear, aun-flecked wat-

in no kindliness of spirit yeas evinced
in the proud, indignant amazement
they exhibited as they wtached from
an exclusive distance the little green
boat that glided about without their
rnistrest.
"Thee. look actually ' vengeful,"
laughed Helen Claymore as sheetcssed

made the saucy. retort.
"Helen!" Rey/Colds reached forward,
covering her hand with his own.
"Helen, why do you tease me so un-
mercifully? Sometimes I have reach-
ed the pinnacle of hope and then—"
Helen's head was drooping, perhaps
to hide something in her eyes, which
she was not ready for her companion
to see.
Reynolds tried in vain to peer be-
yond the small, round chin, but the
• big, wide -brimmed hat was obdurate.
"Well, hang it all—the uncertainty
is killing—I'll take a chance." This
reckless speech, by the way, was mere-
ly mental.
"Helen," the voice was desperate,
:pleading. • 'f-Ilelerry deareSt -Helen, am

The mornent had arrived. Helen's
eyes came into view, such soft, dame -
hag, happy eyes.
"No, Chess, dear, you're—"
But she got no farther.

effect of lessening the risk of a 'vessel
running aground in Shallow water or

In the bottom of the ship is a small

which a searchlight throws a strong

can be moved froth the inside. This,
tube is directed, on to the point of light

'Wise Words from Japan.
The Japanese, who are already set-
ting to work to reconstruct the cities
'devastated by the recent terrible
earthquake, have many qua,Mt nation-
al proverbs.
One of their greatest characteristics
—Preseverance—finds expression in
their saying: "Fall seven times, stand
up the eighth time." Another In the
same, vein declares: "A road to a thou-
sand miles begins with one step."
The Japanesa equivalent of "casting
pearls before swine," is "giving gold
coins to a cat," and instead of "a wolf
• in,slaeep's clothing," they saye"a wolf
dressed in a priest's robes."
When a Japanese vvishes to explain
that a thing is mate impossible, he
tells you that one might as well "learn
to swim in a. field," or "lap up the
ocean with a shell."
