Teach. School Children
Traffic Safety les
Ra
Fourteen oommun sense rules have
been laid down in a traffic safety slues-
tionaire to be used as the basis of
teaching school children traffic safety
methods in Akron, Obio. The plan is
built around a course in a campaign
arranged by the Akron Automobile
club, the director of public safety and
the Akron executive ot the Boy Scouts.
The Boy Scouts are asked to study
the rules and are given an examinee
tion,before their scout master. A scout
credential card signed by the scout
master and countersigned by 0. W.
Baum, director of public safety; Sec-
retary Grover Reese,' of the Akron
Automobile club, and Joseph W. Tay-
lor, scout executive, is presented to
the boys who pass. After their train-
ing, It becomes the duty of the Boy
Scouts to watch for violation of these
rules by other scuool children, and
warn them of the necessity of public
safety. After a scout half• called the
attention of eight children to viola-
tions oe the rules he is entitled to a
medallion for public service.
Tills is a plan that could be adopted
everywhere with the best of results.
It could be used by schools, motorists
and pedestrians with excellent re-
sults as throughout the • questionairo

Hominy Will
Save Wheat
� 144444*Hd4-f �pO+eN4OP40
Hominy can play a brave and im-
portant part in these days of wheat
substitution. Its food value is almost
the same as that of the whole corn,
and in the pioneer days it was made
at home by pounding the corn and it
was eaten then, as we eat potatoes
to -day. This is still true in the South
to some extent and pale -tette house-
wives should make a study of just
how it may be prepared and served
to the best advantage.
Hominy to be at its best requires a
longer period of cooking than is ne-
cessary for corn meal, because it is
much coarser and the fireless cooker
or the upper part of the double boiler
are the ideal utensils for cooking it.
When properly cooked, the grains
should each be distinct ct in far
m --a
gummy mass is often the result of to
much water and a hard grain le the
result of too small an amout of water.
IIOW TO DO IT,
"Property cooked," in the case of
hominy means care and "know how."
Put one euptui of cereal in the upper
part ,of the double boiler wtth one tea-
spoonful of salt and add three cupfuls
of (boiling water. -Cook rapidly, dir-
ectly over the fire eight or ten min-
utes, stirring frequently with a fork,
so that it will not luthp; then place
over hot water and cook for 50 min-
utes. If -the hominy becomes too dry,
add a little hot skim milk. The addi-
tion of a little milk and a small piece
of oleo gives a very rich flavor to the
cereal, which it does not have when
cooked with water only.
WITIH TOMATO SAUCE,.
There are many ways of serving
hominy and some of them are very at-
tractive. Served an a vegetable with
the addition of a little thick tomato
sauce and a sprinkling of grated
cheese it is excellent. MToldea with
chopped figs or dates, then sliced and
fried, it gives a simple dessert, that
is as good as it is inexpensive.
In the following tested formulas
will be found recipes which will give
variety to the summer menus and at
the same time help to conserve the
wheat supply. Remember that just
now our slogan must be: "Every lit-
tle bit helps."

one quart of milk for several iroure,
then cook slowly in the upper part of
a double boiler for otte hour, stirring
frequently. When cooked, season with
half a teaspoonful of salt, add the
lightly beaten yolks of two eggs and
one cupful of chopped nut meats. Mix

furnishes a splendid .meat substitute

CIJRi*NG SKIN TROUBLES
Sam any people, both men and wo-
men, suffer from skin troubles, such
as eczema, blotches, pimples and irri-
tation that a word of advice is nieces.-
sary, It is a great mistake for such
sufferers and those with bacl complex-
ions to smear themselves with greasy
ointments. Often they could not do
anything worse, for the, grease clogs -
the pores of the troubled skin and
their condition actually becomes
worse.
When there are pimples or erup'•
tions, or anirrttating or itching raeh,
a soothing boracic solution may help
to allay the irritation, but of course
that does not cure the trouble. Skin
complaints come from an impure con-
dition of the blood and will persist
until the blood is thoroughly purified,
It is well known that Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills have effected the best re -
cults in many forms of skin disorders
and blemishes. This is due to the fact
that these pilin make new, rich blood,
and that this new blood attacks the
impurities that give rise to skin
troubles and diaperces them; so that
Dr Williams' Pink Pills cure skin
disorders from within the, system -
the only stare way
It should ho added that Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills have a beneficial
effect upon the general health. They
increase the appetite and energy and
cure diseases that arise from impure
blood.
You can get these pills through any
medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents

HAY -FEVER,
The symptoms are very definite;
sneezing fits accompanied by watering
at the eyes and nose, and acute die-
com:tort end const;ltuticnal disturb-
ance, are those most usually com-
plained of. It hds been found by
repeated experiment that it is not the
mere mechanical irritation produced
by the pollen graina which gives
rico to all these, phenomena, but that
there is a true poisonous property in
the pollen itself which is an essential
factor in. the causation of the disease.
And, it is not pollen of grasser alone
that has this quality. The pollen of
many other plants -notably of roses
-has the same effect oa certain peo-
ple, whilst there is an irritation qual-
ity in the smell et horses. which
makes some particularly susceptible
Persons unable to drive behind them.
In a typical hay -fever patient it
easy to prove that the irritation of
the pollen grains is the cause of the
attack, as the direct experimental ap-
plication of a speck or two of the,
Pollen to the mucous membrane Of
the nose or to' the eye -surface will
bring on a typical attack of the dis-
ease. Cocaine, which can be appliedr
locally to de,:reaso the surface sensi-
tiveness, will, too, often give tempor-
ary relief. So clear is the direct cause
of the conditions that one of the au-
thorized means of reducing its vfo-
lenco is the slight cauterization of the
most sensitive spots on the mucous
membrane. This cauterization does
not, however, give immunity for more
than a single season, and should, if
permanent good is to result, be re-
peated as a precautionary measure
every year. Though the, discomfort
of tilde proceeding may be very dis-
agreeable. there are few real sufferers
from hay -fever who would not gladly.

PSORIASIS --A SKIN DISEASE.
Thid unpleasant skin disease, which
is of fairly common occurrence, begins
with an eruption of very small scaly
epots appearing on a slightly reddened
are,., generally affecting the knees
and elbows. These paints of spots
increase until they form scaly patches,
which may spread widely over the
body. The disease is a chronic sue,
and persons once attacked by it are
always liable to a relapse. It may
occur at any age, but it is ram after
fifty. Children of two or three have
been known to be attacked, and sus-
ceptibility does not seem to be con-
fined to any particular class, or to
persons engaged in any epecial Indus-
tvy.
The actual cause of the disease is
atilt unknown, Research, observation
and experience have only resulted in
various theories. all of which are
open to doubt. Some doctors believe
th .t it is associated with gouty ten -
deities; -others that it is due to the
action of a parasite taken in food; and
still others that it is of nervous
origin, the last being the theory most
popularly supported, the assumption
neing that there ie some, lack of vital-
ity in the nerve Centres regulating the
nourishment of the skin.
This theory:'is strengthened by the
fact that the disease may be, brought
on by shock or worry, and -that it
often occurs an neurotic patients. It
is not contagious, but there is some
evidence that it is hereditary. The
general health is hardly at all
affected by its pretsence, although it
may acoompany a condition which
itself is unhealthy. In some cases,
particularly those occurring in alert-
toile -
le m
-
toile- or meat -eating subjects, there
is a, good deal of itching, especially
during the spread of the eruption.
There, is nothing to account for the
extent er the intensity of the disease,
or its recurrence, and treatment is
therefore most difficult. Sometimes

Other eases remain obstinate, and

affected must be prepared to persevere
energetically with such measures as

well to try to observe or remember
any special conditions ,which are pres-

signs of an outbreak.
If thole conditions are repeated
when the attach recurs there may be
some connection, and a correction of

put her nn the horse's back while he

turned his back than he heard the

How He Did It..
• An old southern judge lost a mute,

An Eater's Convenience.
South America can boast no more re-
markable zoological piodtiet than the
"great ant eater." This interesting mam-
mal has powerful front claws for tear-
, fug often anthills and decayed logs a
tongue that is a foot in length. and a
long, bushy tall wh1cl'i; according to na.
tive observers, is Used "to sweep up the
ants," In reality the tail is not em-
ployed for any such purpose. It serves
for something quite different. as ono
may see when the animals lie down,
Then the hairs of the tall fall both ways
over its body in such a manner as to
form a sort of roof thatch, shedding rein
and keeping the owner dry dry in stormy
weather.
Russ Collapse Hits Japan.
A question asked throughout Japau
is: "How will this country be affected
if Russia repudiates her foreign
loans?" The amount of Russian na-
tional bonds held by Japanese inves-
tore is about $114,000,000. In addition,
outstanding accounts with the Rusefan
Government for munitions will ap-
proximate $15,000,000, making a total
of $129,000,000. As newt of the Rus-
sian debt,is held by the Japanese gov-
ernment, individual loss will not be
great. -East and Week News. •

The guestroom need not be the best
and sunniest room in the house, 9iut It
should be light and airy, and be so dec-
orated and furnished as to be infarmal
and homey. The idea is to have a
guestroom a little detached from the
rooms which are occupied by the family.
The bed should be the most comfortable
