what an infusion ix i BEER A hat a of Really Pure Fine Tea Tastes like Summer Foods. Meat and meat-like foods are heat intensifiers. The adult requires very little meat to maintain health. Many persons in perfect health have never used it at all. Denmark, by a wise study of the nation's food resources and by instruction based on a knowl- edge of scientific facts, maintained the nation's health during the food stringency of the Great War, without destroying her great dairy herds, the only possible source of meat during that period. Combinations of foods, into which meats and fats enter largely, should not be used during warm weather, because digestion in such weather should not be delayed, and mixtures of the different types of food are digested less guickly than when the materials are Merved singly. All cereals¥ must be thoroughly cooked. This important at all times but during t#¢ summer months it is imperative. The idea of coolness is given by the color green. Actual resistance to the effect of hot weather is possible when green vegetables enter into the early spring and summer dietary. Wild greens, such as dandelions, cowslips, dock or pigweed, and the cultivated spinach, Swiss chard, beet tops, let- tuce and asparagus, during the sum- mer months, are the friends of man, as indeed are all the summer vege- tables, radishes, onions, tomatoes, and the fruits, remarkable for their cool- ing acid properties. The products of the garden should appear on the table for breakfast, din- ner and supper, Children should be required to use them freely. Adults who do not use them earn their pun- ishment. The greens I have mentioned may be copked in the simplest way. Pick them' over carefully and discard all yellow or withered leaves. Wash in several waters to remove sand or grit. These vegetables give up. their juices when 'cooking, and therefore should not -be cooked in a large quantity of water. Put into the kettle just enough boiling water to prevent burning; add the greens, cover and let simmer for half -an hour, then lift the cover and let the liquor boil down. When the greens are tender drain them, and use the liquor as a basis for any kind of sauce to be served as an accompani- ment. If the vegetable is to be served simply with butter, salt and pepper, use the liquor in soup. It is too valu- able to throw away as it usually con- tains the dissolved minerals which make "vegetables such cooling foods. There are at least six ways in which. greens may be served: 1. With salt, pepper ard butter. 2..Garnish with hard boiled eggs; put: the yolks through the vegetable ricer and cut the whites into rings. Serve as in 1. 8. Serve with a white sauce, made with' one-half cupful milk, one table- spoanful butter, one tablespoonful flour. 4. Serve with vinegar or lemon juice, salt and pepper. b. Serve with any well-liked salad dressing. 6. Serve on toast garnished with strips of pimento. Clean the Baby's Teeth. Good sight is perhaps the most im- ortant thing in life; yet more than Sre-ifth of ths Bick ejects for atmy service were rejected because of de- fective sight and one-half as many mote were rejected because of poor teeth, Mothers. are urged to give more attention to the pre of the eyes and teeth of their. children. The child's teeth should be cleaned as soot as it has any, Wrap a bit of - sterilized muslin 'around the finger, dip in boracic acid solution, and b the 'mouth and teeth each morning. As the child grows older, teach him to brush his own teeth at least twice y.. At least once a year, if - a have a dentiat ook his oo over and fill any cavities.

Do not rub. Simply place in warm suds, lift up, dip in, and repeat the process a number of times. After taking the sweater through three suds-waters, rinse thoroughly, then spread out very carefully upon a dry sheet. Place on top several Turkish towels, on top of them place books or other weights. The sweater when dry will look as if it had been ironed and will not have stretched a particle. Two or three days will be sufficient to dry it thoroughly. Dumb Patience. Any number of girls can play this game. Place in a circle as many chairs, less two, as there are players; then set another chair in the centre of the circle. Turn the backs of the chairs toward the centre and leave sufficient space between every chairs to allow a person to pass. Choose one girl to direct the game and one to represent dumb Patience. The director stands, the others sit; Pa- tience occupies the chair in the centre of the circle. She may not speak, buf she may laugh, cry or make other sounds. The director's business is to watch Patience and to tell the other players, who of course have their backs turned, just what she is doing} they, on their part, must imitate Pa- tience in everything. For example, if Patience laughs, the director calls, "Patience laughs," and all the others must laugh; if she goes through the motion of brushing her hair, the di- rector says, "Patience brushes her hair," and they must all do it. The director is the only player who may speak. When Patience gets tired she leaves her chair, passes out of the circle and runs round the others, who jump up and follow her. When she sits down, all sit down, except the one who fails to get a seat; she must be Patience for the next round of the game. Clock Cookies. The older sister of a little girl invalid who had to take disagreeable medicine every day thought of the following scheme: Every day she made some round cookies 'and spread on each cooky a pink or a white frosting. Then, with a clean camel's-hair brush dipped in chocolate icing, she painted on the frosting a clock dial that show- ed the sugar hands at the hour at which her sister was to take her medi- cine. If the little girl refused to take it, she forfeited the cooky that pro- claimed the portentous hour, ep DYED CHILD'S COAT AND HER OLD SKIRT "Diamond Dyes" Made Faded, Shabby Apparel so Fresh and New.

Marjorie was taken to her room, where a physician attended her. Henry | MecKinl ed and testified lock was examin substantially as follows: : "I had dinner last evening with Judge Blackburn, and afterward we went to his study where we sat ing for perhaps an hour. In the course of our conversation wé disagreed of a certain matter, and I'm afraid that each of us became more heated than was necessary. In any event, Xe parted in anger. I returned 'a little ater and apologized for my display of temper. After that I went home. 1 knew nothing of his death until a detective came to my house about ten o'clock last night and placed me under arrest."

"Will you tell| bottom lease, what you disagreed about?" "It was oo of moment," said the lawyer, in his calm, precise way. "It was, in fact, a quite trivial matter, and my only reason for men- tioning it is to explain why I returned to jn 2h Blackburn's study." "How long did you rema the second time?" "A few minutes only. I went away again almost immediately." "Did you see any person as you went out?" "Yes; -1 saw Miss Blackburn and Mr. Quinn." "Where were they?" "In Miss Blackburn's sittin "Did either of them see you?" as! the coroner. "I think not. Both had their backs toward me." . "You didn't speak to them, or other- wise draw their attention?" ° "No; I merely glanced into the room as I passed, and walked on." "Did you notice anything there-- or anywhere else, before leaving the house--that might arouse suspicion?" "Yes. On the desk in the sitting- room, I saw a pearl-handled revolver." "Ig this the revolver you saw ?"-- fod the coroner passed the weapon to im. "Tt appears to be the same one." "While you were here last night, did Judge Blackburn say anything in your presence that would indicate he was expecting sudden death?" "He showed me an anonymous let- ter, threatening his life." "Ig this the letter he showed you?" asked the coroner, handing him the sheet of note-paper. McKinlock read the message, exam- ined the paper carefully on both sides and returned it. "Yes, that's the one." At thie juncture Quinn scribbled something on the back of an envelope. Unnoticed he slipped it to a fellow ; after reading it, quietly laid it on the table before the coroner, with him room." The coroner's eye fell upon the note, || as he was asking a question of Moi great importance. He asked two or three more and then, unexpectedly, said: "Mr. McKinlock, have you ever pro- posed marriage to Miss Blackburn?" The pointblank interrogation had a startling effect upon the attorney. His cool self-assurance, which had char- acterized him up till now, vanished instantly. Panic seized him. "W--why," he stammered, his face reddening--"why--since you ask me --yes. But I quite fail to see how your question hag any relation--" "When did you propose marriage to her?" . «I think--if I remember correctly-- yes, it was the day before yesterday. But what bearing has this--" The coroner again cut him short: «What answer did she give you?" "Why, my dear man!" sputtered the lawyer, beside himself with angry con- fusion. "You surely don't expect--" "Answer the question, please." "And if I don't?" "You refuse to answer it?" "1 do--emphatically!" "Very well." The coroner turned to his assistant: "Recall Miss Blackburn to the witness chair." CHAPTER XI. "[ Killed Judge Blackburn!"
