V prepared from the food at hand:

through a sieve and mix with four ta
blespoonfuls of ' finely minced bam,
two tablespoonfuls of butter, two eggs,
well-beaten, one-quarter of a capful of
cream, cayenne, mustard and salt to
■... taste. Form into balls, egg and crumb
them and fry in deep fat until a light
brown. These may be served with or
wlthouf a cream sauce.

Savory Eggs. ^ '

■, :• hard. Shell, cut In halves, pass the
K ' yolks through a sieve and mix with
two tablespoonfuls of ham, a little
onion, two tablespoonfuls of cream,
. two minced sprigs of parsley, salt, cay
enne, chopped taragon to tasta and
nix well. Fill the egg whites with
the mixture and lay on a platter, Pour
round the eggs one cupful of mayon

chopped fine.
Potted . Creams.
Fry rounds of bread for six or eight

Taka one-quarter of a pound of cheese,
four tnblespoonfuls of butter, salt, cay

tablespoonful of any fruit Juice, mix
well.and spread a spoonful of each on
the brend. This mixture may be used
for sandwiches and will keep n week
or more if covered, tn a small Jar
with melted bntter.
To Can Corn Fresh Without Cooking.
Take nine cupfuls of corn fresh
from the field, one cupful of sugar, onei-'
half cupful of salt and one cupful of
cold, water, ills and stand until the"
sugar and salt are well dissolved, then
can and seal in sterilized Jons, v ;
Parmesan Puffs.

vegetation of any kind except the sim
ple. untutored red man and his feet.
It was an uninviting spot. Good table
board, was scarce and the steam laun
dry had not shown up,.
Despite these drawbacks, which
would dismay the stoutest heart In
these days, the cofBhlsts who came
over on the Mayflower did not falter.
After sitting around on Plymouth
Rock for a few days, In order to re
move the seasickness from their legs,
they went briskly to work and built a
meeting house, where they* could as
semble on Sunday and listen to 12,000
feet of sermon. Earnest efforts were
made to convert the red man and In
duce him to wear something besides a
scalp lock, but not much progress was
made In this direction, owing to the
tendency Of the red man to fill his
visitor full of arrow heads before the
subject was properly Introduced.
The Mayflower Was a small boat, es
timated at about 54 per cent water
tight, and when caught in the trough
of the sea refused to sit upright. It
took several weeks for the Puritans
to reach Plymouth, and at times they
were out of sight of land., We would
like to ask how many people todify
think enough of their conscience ’ to
undertake a trip like that. If they
were able to locate ft In the first

X

D
URING ,|l»e period which Ira-'
mediately 1 followed; the
Mexican war, a number of words
which .were contractions or
slight'Changes of terms in com
mon use south of the Rio
Grande entered the United
States vocabulary because of. the
increased use pf colloquial Span
ish in the southern part of this
country. Among these words
was “jitney"—a combination of
two Mexican words meaning the
lowest possible value, and first
used by American gamblers In
scornfully referring to the
“small change” or “chicken
feed" which the Mexicans Insist
ed on introducing into the games
of chance. The copper cent be
ing rare In those days, the term
was gradually applied to the
United States flve-cent piece,
and worked its way ; North,
where, among the street arabs
of New York a nickel has long
been known as a “jit," Just as a
cent is a “meg,” a “dimmo” Is
a dime and a “cutie” is a quar
ter. • ,• ” y •
The advent of the private mo
torbus which charged five cents
for a ride helped materially to
revive the term; the automobiles
first being known as “jitney
busses” . and then the name was
shortened to “Jitneys.”

toot yawl la reminiscent of ancient
deep sea voyaging of Yankee sailor
men in slnall craft; Some of these-ex
ploits are recounted In a study of
“America’s Merchant Marine'*- by the
Bankers’ Trust company of New York.
Big profits realized on cargoes
brought from remote ends of the earth
stirred th.e eighteenth century of "sea
faring enterprise. Such, for example,
was the case of a. ship sailing from
Calcutta to Boston with a youth of
nineteen years In command. This
juvenile captain, according to the
Bankers’ Trust company's study, had
nothing in the way of a chart aboard
except a small map of the world in an
old-time geography. He made the trip
successfully and later, became a Bos
ton banker.
On the first trip of the George of
Salem to India in 1815 hardly a man of
Ire crew was twenty-one years old, yet
each was qualified as an experienced
seaman and nearly every oue was a
navigator. ' ,
In early days the perils of the sea
were legularly braved in what would
now be considered dangerously sinali
vessels. The famous Mayflower, which
carried the pilgrims to the new world,
was only a 180-ton ship. .When Gover
nor Winthrop built a vessel at Med
ford, Mass, in 1631, it was a 30-tori
bark, the Blessing of the Bay.
•Joshua Haynes built a sloop at. Bath
■« * ‘u- uuu rnier wnen ins yaru lumen
out a schooner of 100 tons, costing
$3,000, It was considered a great un
dertaking for that period. The schoo
ner type had first been built at Glou
cester in 1718 and gradually displaced
the old sloops. ■ :
Some Idea of the kind of craft that
(?red the hardy race of American ma
rines Is afforded by the shipbuilding
record for 1709. in that year 389 ves
sels of a total tonnage of 20,000 tons
were constructed. This averaged lit
tle over 50 tons a ship.
Ravages of Influenza.
A decided relation between epidemic
Influenza and tuberculosis has tee:i
traced at the Ohio State sanitarium.
Of 615 tuberculosis patients admitted
since 1919, as many as 249, oi 40 per
cent, attributed their tuberculosis
symptoms to influenza, and 67 per cent
of these had not been known to have
such symptoms prior to the influenza
epidemic of the last three months of
1918. In 33 per cent of the cases, ear
lier tuberculous tendencies were re
vived. A curious feature of 40 per
cent of these so-called reactivated
cases was that tnbefculosls was not at
first recognized or suspected, but for
an average period of five months. In
which many patients returned to work,
the symptoms were mild and apparent
ly temporary. Other reports show a
similar proportion of tuberculous pa
tients among recent sufferers from in
fluenza.

Rushing to the sleeping man, they
