Soak two cupfuls of fine bread crumbs in a cupful of milk for an hour, then add two beaten beaten eggs, two cupfuls of ground pecan nuts, half a • teaspoonful of summer savory, half a teaspoonful of salt and pepper and-celery salt to taste. Press the mixture into a greased pan and bake for half an hour, basting frequently frequently with butter.

Edmonton, Alberta, Can. -- "I think it is no more than right for me to thank you for what your kind advice and Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound have done for me. - "When I wrote to you some time ago I was a very sick woman suffering from female troubles. I had organic inflammation inflammation and could not stand or walk any distance. At last I was confined to my bed, and the doctor said I- would have to go through an operation, but this I refused to do. A friend advised Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and now, after using three bottles of it, I feel like a new woman.- I most heartily recommend your medicine to all women who suffer with female troubles. I have : also taken, Lydia -E. Pinkham's Liver Pills, and think they" are fine. I will never be without the medicine in the house."--Mrs. Frank Emsley, 903 Columbia Columbia Avenue, Edmonton, Alberta. The Other Case. : Beatrice, Neb.--"Just after my marriage marriage myleft side began to pain me and the pain got so severe at times that, I suffered terribly with it I visited three doctors and each one wanted to operate on me but ! would not consent to an operation. operation. I heard of the good Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was doing for others and I used several bottles bottles of it with the result that I haven't been bothered with my side since then. I am in good health and I have two little girls."--Mrs. R.B. Child, Beatrice, Neb. Steaming Is An Art. Steaming is an unappreciated art. In steaming both meat and vegetables vegetables all the juices and valuable food elements are retained and not wasted wasted in the water, as in boiling. Steaming Steaming does not seem to heat up the kitchen so much on the hot summer days as having the oven running for roasting. For steaming, prepare the chicken as for roasting," tying" the wings and legs close together, and rubbing with salt and pepper; do not stuff. Fill the boiling pan about half full of boiling water; place the chicken in a shallow pan three by.three and one- half inches in height, as m this way all the juice Ys saved for the gravy or sauce. Place this pan in the steamer. Be sure that the boiling pan and steamer fit very closely, so that every puff of steam may be doing its full duty. Another variation is to steam the chicken until it is tender, then dismember, dismember, and fry as if it were a spring chicken. Dip each piece in flour and fry in butter, and it is easy to fool the most fastidious judge of good fried chicken. . We are continually, reading warnings warnings about wasting the mineral salts of vegetables by our usual careless methods of boiling; we set the helpless helpless vegetable adrift in a sea of boiling boiling water, and then, when all the valuable elements (such as phosphorous, phosphorous, calcium, and iron) are boiled out, and the flavor of the food thereby reduced, reduced, the vegetable is reduced--a mere hollow shell of its former self, with all its life-blood extracted--and served to us, while the rich salts and flavors find an untimely end by being poured down the kitchen sink. In steaming, all this is avoided. Physicians always recommend baked potatoes for children and invalids, because they are most digestible. Steamed ones are just as good, if not better, for the steaming renders the starch absolutely soluble. Steamed carrots are a revelation to people - who say they never eat carrots carrots because they have no taste. Spinach, likewise unpopular* unless served with vinegar or lemon or something "to give it a taste," Will be found to possess a decided flavor. Asparagus is delicious when steamed. Indeed, everything which can be boiled can be . steamed, and it is much more economical as well as practical method. . pint of juice a pound of sugar and the juice of a lemon.

A year ago the detention of a dozen dozen Canadians in a peon camp in Mexico Mexico would have set Canada in a blaze of indignation. In spite of the many claims on the publics' purse it is to be hoped, however, that the thousands of Canadians now languishing in Ger- many, will not be forgotten.

Galium, "was that he ate it with a spoon and that he rejected the pits." This information contains the possibilities possibilities of much further discussion. It will be news to the eaters of factory made pies and even to - housekeepers who are making their own cherry pies during this cherry season, that the cherries should always be used with their pits. Also the writers of books of deportment must record the fact that in the case of the cherry pie the fork must give place to the spoon. But the most important fact is that no matter how a cherry pie is eaten it is the best pie that is made. * THE NEEDS OF THE RED CROSS. PIE CULTURE. CASTORIA For Infants and Children.

Remove acid Camps and hospitals for prisoners of war are prominent features of Germany Germany to-day. They number 247, some of which contain between 10,000 and 20,000 prisoners. The latest information information gives the number of prisoners prisoners interned as 900,000. The lot of the prisoner is something like that of a Mexican peon or a Virginia. Virginia. slave in the old slavery days. He has a sort of communal life. He is not confined to a cell, but his freedom freedom of movement is restricted to a camp compound. If he chooses labor, he is sometimes sometimes contracted out to an employer for a pittance of 12 or 25 cents a day. He is fed and clothed and housed by people who grudge him the scraps they fling him, and his lot is an unenviable unenviable one. A neutral correspondent in Germany* Germany* has written an interesting account account of these prisoners' camps. It is usually surrounded by a high wooden fence, surrounded in turn by an outer bristling web of double barbed wire. Between the two fences there is a passage for the guard. Along one side run the guard houses and offices.' the kitchens, canteens, bath houses for the prisoners, and then the prison barracks proper. There are no windows, windows, only skylights in a sloping roof. On a layer of tarred paper wooden berths are built along tl,.e walls, leaving room for a passage in the middle. This is in the newest calups; in other camps prisoners sleep on sacks filled with wood shavings, which are raised up along the waits during the day. Food regulations are much the same in all camps. The basis for the dis tribution of food is 2,700 calories (heat units) declared by German science science to be necessary for the maintenance maintenance of a tolerable existence. This is administered in a form of black bread and soup, a diet which gives the Canadian prisoner an acute sense, of starvation. If he has money he is allowed to buy extra food and tobacco in a canteen. The prisoners themselves do the work in the kitchens, kitchens, serve the food and perform all the other menial tasks in the camps. They are allowed to amuse themselves themselves as best they can by pj-imativq, theatricals and some game's, "When I asked • * how they were treated," says this correspondent, "I received conflicting answers. One general conclusion) I drew, however, namely, that many tiré without friends to send them gifts of food, (By Peter McArthur.) An .article published some days ago in which I mentioned the fact that the cherry pie was at one time considered the supreme test of a housewife, or rather, the test by which it might be discovered whether a girl was competent competent to be a housewife, has brought me a good story from Dr. Hugh Mac- Callum, of London. According to him the cherry pie plays a much wider part than I suggested in the life of the New England States. He says: "At a medical banquet which I once attended our great Dr. Osier, of Oxford, stated that Dr. Weir Mitchell, °f Philadelphia, had once put his culture culture to the final test. Dr. Mitchell, who was present, nodded gravely. " 'He gave me a piece of cherry-pie to eat and watched me while I ate it.' "Once more .Dr. Mitchell nodded. " 'And,' continued Dr. Osler, 'I ate it to his entire satisfaction.' "Dr. Mitchell applauded enthusiastically." enthusiastically." Naturally the ; assembled medical men wanted to find out how a cherry pie should be eaten for the test was one that any of them might be obliged to face at any time. "All we could learn," said Dr. Mac- the The Red Cross need is like widow's cruse of oil--it is inex haustible. Fully to meet that need would require a purse like the widow's widow's cruse. Such- a purse is a fin ancial miracle,.but the Red Cross must ask the Canadian people to perform perform that miracle. Every time you read a report of a battle do you realize that it means a fresh addition to the task of the Red Cross ? Do you know that every bullet fired fired is only one more drip in the Red Cross cruse of inexhaustible obligation obligation ? If the Government, when its General General Staff demanded fresh supplies of munitions, replied: "Why do you want more shells?" would you think the Government insane ? When the Red Cross asks for more supplies do you not realize how much it needs them? The need of the army is for shells, and still more shells. .

The listing of the boat to port was noticed, some said, 16 minutes before before she turned over. Capt. Pederson Pederson said five minutes. Some women clutched their children, but decided the slope of the deck must be something something necessary in warping, from the dock. When the full realization caine the slow list had become an overturn. Known to vesselmen as a "crank" or "hoodoo" .steamer, the Eastland was about-twelve years old, but was rebuilt, at Cleveland - several years ago by order of the authorities there in order to render her more seaworthy. She was required to carry water ballast, ballast, but it is said that sometimes the water was pumped out temporarily to lighten her draft in traversing shallows. shallows. Various theories as to what caused the Eastland to turn over are being discussed: The most discussed Greater by hundreds would have been the number of dead, but for prodigies of heroism. The heroes ranged from slips of. girls to ragged dock rats and hoboes, to professionals. A frail mite of a girl crawled over the slimy side of the ship at the imminent imminent risk of her own life, and with her thin little arms dragged a num her of children to safety. A gloomy man who was out of work, and contemplating. contemplating. suicide in the river, found plenty of work when the ship capsiz-|. ed. He plunged in and rescued nine persons before he was dragged out most dead by other rescuers. A police man made a motorman stop between stations, ran back along the tracks, plunged into the river and saved eight from drowning. There were numerous numerous cases of boy heroes; in two cases the little fellows themselves perished after helping many women and children children to safety. One boy, whose "identity is yet a mystery, jumped from the dock into the river to help two women hanging to some object in the middle of the stream.. He was swimming to the dock with one of the women, when the other flung her arms around his neck, and all three were drowned.
