y y SOLITUDE u By LILBURN HARWOOD TOWNSEND , Just a dull gray sea and a fading sky, And a soaring gull and his lonely cry; Just a sunset glow and the ocean's roar, As the foaming waves fall upon its floor. Just a whiff of wind from the golden west, And a gleam of pearls on the billow's crest; Just a low, weird song from a siren's throat, And a speck of sail on a distant boat. Just a wild wide shore and a dying day, And the ebbing tide and drifting spray; Just the rising moon and the ev'ning star, O'er the wreck of Hope on a bidden bar. in to For The I Homemaker's Eye j; Economical Gingerbread. One cup molasses in mixing bowl; put two level teaspoons shortening in to a cup, and fill cup with boiling water; add to molasses. Sift into the above the mixture one and one-half cups flour, thrlte-quarters teaspoon salt, one level teaspoon clove or cin namon and nutmeg mixed together. Grease the pan well. Bake in a mod erate oven. Will take about thirty five minutes. Breakfast Gems. Mix together two cupfuls of bran meal, one and one-half cupfuls of white flour, four tablespoonfuls of sugar (scant), one teaspoonful of salt, four teaspoonfuls of baking powder, two eggs, two cupfuls of milk and two tablespoonfuls of melted butter. Mix together all dry ingredients, beat the eggs and gradually add the milk to the eggs. Stir slowly into the dry mixture. Lastly add the melted but ter. Creamy Cold Slaw. Chop the cabbage in a wooden bowl, sprinkle it with salt and cover it until the moisture is drawn from the cab bage. Drain it'. Marinate with three tablespoons of white or pure cider vin egar, tossing the cabbage with a silver or wooden fork. The dressing is made with four tablespoons of powdered sugar dissolved in one cup of cream. Have everything very "cold and add the dre cabbage, which may be used as a salad or as an accompaniment to meat or fish course. a ;g just before serving the To Keep Lettuce Crisp. A sure way to keep lettuce crisp when not taking ice is to wash lettuce under running water to remove dust, then put in a colander, then rinse out a piece of cheese cloth in cold water and lay right over lettuce, put in a cool place and it Xill keep crisp for two to four days. Dried Beef and Gravy With Variations A half cup of tomato and a table spoonful of chopped sweet pepper friz zled with 1-4 pound of dried beef, and the gravy made in the usual way. Makes a pleasing variation of the dried beef and gravy dish Helpful Hints. Never smooth mashed potato in the serving dish. It makes it heavy and compact. Heap it lightly into the dish Let puddings and pies eoolslightly before putting on the meringue; if not, the meringue will be dotted with drops of liquid. Overcooking will curdle milk as well as cooking milk that has been salted. It is best to add salt after the milk has been removed from the heat. If a custard has overcooked, pour it into a cold bowl and beat with an egg beater; if this will not make it smooth, strain and use it as a custard sauce. To decorate cakes for children, frost them, then dip a small brush into melted chocolate or beaten egg yolk, and put on the design or name de sired. Any coloring may be used by adding a bit of color to confectioner's sugar and water or milk. Use stale bread for French toast. Beat one egg, add a half cup of milk or more, one teaspoonful of salt and a pinch of sugar. Cut the bread in narrow strips and dip in the egg on both sides. Fry in a little hot fat. When washing spinach, put salt in the first water; it will save several washings. When creaming butter for a cake, if in a hurry, add a tablespoon or two of hot water to it; the cake will mix much quicker and it is fully as fine | grained. : When your cakes stick to the pan, try moistening a cloth in hot water ; and patting the bottom of the pan with it. A handful of salt with enough vine gar to cover it will be very effective in shining the faucets of a lavatory. Creamed bacon is nice to serve with baked potatoes. Fry the bacon and pour over it a white sauce made with the fat. Print the various uses of the house hold brushes in large letters on their hacks. A 1-4 peck of quinces costs consid erable this year, but careful and eco nomical handling will make them go further than an equal amount of any other kind of fruit, weigh pints of canned quinces, 4 glasses of marmalade and one glass of jelly. Following is the way to prepare and dry the quinces, remove the stem and blossom, then quarter and pare them. The quarters are cut into slices and put in the pre serve kettle and covered with cold water. Cover the kettle and bring to boil very quickly (then the fruit does not get tough); add four cups of sugar and simmer or boil slowly 1 hour, removing scum as it rises. Fill into well-sterilized jars while at boil ing point. Two quarts or 4 pints of delicious fruit to serve with plain whipped cream. This quantity 1-2 pounds and will make 2 them:—Wash or Quince Jelly. To the liquid which is left over add 1-2 cup of sugar, which is put on a plate in ehe oven to heat (being care ful not to melt), add the sugar to the juice and boil 5 minutes. This makes a large glass of clear good jelly. Quince Jam. The jam is made from the skins as the quinces are pared; the skins and cores are put into a saucepan of water, the y must be liberally covered. Put on fire and boil slowly 1 hour with the cover on; if the water boils away add enough to keep to top of skins; when they are very soft, mash thru wire strainer, and to each cup of the pulp add 3-4 cup of sugar and a few ! on Besides making up Talking grains of salt; boil 10 minutes, skim ming if necessary. Put into glasses; when cold and firm, cover with paro wax. The cost is very little for these delicious sweets and takes very little time to prepare. Quince Honey. Wash, pare and grate the quinees; to each quart of grated quinces acid 11-2 cups granulated-sugar; put into preserving kettle and boil slowly 45 minutes; remove the scum, stirring frequently. It must be stiff and not separate. Fill into well-sterilized, wide-mouthed bottles, cover with par owax and paste paper over top. Keep on Climbing You can never let down the bars i when you want to become great. The price is eternal vigilance. Even when success is assured you must keep going spurts usually sink into insignificance the same way. your mind that you are going to suc ceed, you must see to it that you real ize what's in your mind, about what you expect to do will never bring it to pass. The uphill is always before you. The only way to reach the top is to climb. If you mand the means that takes you there it will save you energy for other things. Usually the energy you de vejop through the climb will be useful in day to come. The climb may tire you, but it will also make you appre ciate the view.—Grit.

A Better Berth For Bossie The American darry cow, beauty that she is and has always been, has never made very much of a reputa tion in Europe until the war destroyed so many of the native milk producers Now, the American dairy cow is cross ing the ocean pretty freely, and the j United States Department of Agri culture, largely for her benefit, has revised its regulations governing the inspection, humane handling, and safe j transport of export animals. The ; regulations in the first place, were i fixed mainly for beef cartTe. A dairy ! COW that is to live her life out and bear a responsible parf in the up bringing of a human family requires more careful handling than an animal t that is to be slaughtered. Conse quently, better arrangements have been made for stalls, number of attendants is stipulated, and more careful handling in general is required. j --- j j ; Home Paper The importance and value to the ' on state of the local newspapers emphasized in one exhibit at the ' state fair at Syracuse, N.

Every other agricultural interest is repre- i sented at the capital by organisa- i tions ready to serve the growers. The tomato men of Delaware, Maryland and other States, have however, not so far apparently seen the necessity for organization right under the nose of Congress. It is pointed out that growers of farm products in many states have re ceived prompt payment from the War j Dep:V.ment for the provisions sup plied the government, but the Delà- i ware canners are still waiting for ; their money, or a large part of it. Of : j course, the government does not deal directly with the farmers, but it is | pointed out that failure promptly to j meet its obligations to the canners and | packers had depressed prices, 'and in | consequence the farmers have suffer- | ed. !
