IT'S very hard to keep romance out of
a sltur.tlon that's built on the most
adventurous and romantic thing In the

forth to a warrior. It Isn't necessary
that tho lady ever should have met tho
warrior bold. Sufiiclont It be that he
went forth to battle and that the postman
brings a regular letter from him to her.
What a bridge this wartime letter is!

We are very grateful for the fruit cake
recipe. It is -very timely now tint Thanks
fivlnp la to near. 1 am sure those who try
it will enjoy It.
Tou can buy a' child's blackboard that
hangs on tho wall for fifty cents. I do not
think you could mak one any cheaper than
this, when you take into consideration
money spent on slate, paint, wood, etc. A
blackboard on a stand tolls for $1, You
Wight buy one of the fifty-cent ones and put
It on a stand yourself. Use pine boards
and varnish or any color of paint the child
would like. The paint can bo bought in
mall cans at tho ten-cent store.
Wash I ho floor with a solution of
bichloride. This Is poisonous, ho Just pet
enough from the druggist to tiso at one
time. Do not let the children Ket near It.
After you have thoroughly scrubbed the
floor with this, particularly In the cracks,
prlnk!e well with black pepper tea or just
prlnkle black nepner into the cracks. He-
fore laying your carpet put a padding of
newspapers en the floor. This keeps moths
away.
Composition of Oleomargarine
To the Editor of 'H'oincm'a Vagr!
Dear Madam Is oleomargarine mad from
tn lata, etc., collected from tho meat ahopa of
tnla or any other city? If not, will jou kindly
PUQllah tho composition of oleomureartnp7
T. K. M.
Oleomargarine is composed of beef futs,
animal fats and vegetable fats. By vege
table fats are meant those made of olive oil,
peanut oil, cocoanut oil and refined cotton
need oil. You can see from this description
that oleomargarine docs not by any means
depend on collections from meat shopH. Dif
ferent manufacturers of oleomargarine
probably get their beet fats from different
ourcea. The making of this product, how
ever, Is now so standardized that I believe
the fats are gathered together from clean
and satisfactory sources. Possibly there are
orne unscrupulous persons who are not
careful about this, but they mutt be In tho
minority.

Hill Climbing
HII.L
nnc
cllniblnr; Is nn exercise of endur
ance which ullnu's creater exertion
without causing a corresponding degree of
rntigue. in climbing', exercise and rcBt 101
low each (.ther rhythmically. This exer
cise Is excellent In dex-eloplng the strength
of thn lungs and heart. Tho vltnl organs
nrc hImi stimulated to extra exertion. It
de clops the muscles of the thighs and
nixes It brings about rapid changes of
the bodily material, the fat especially being
consumed. Tho skin and kidneys throw off
mrre waste material an' the lungs work
hnrder and take more oxygen Tho heart
pumps faster and Its tnufcles are strength
ened The general circulation U quickened
and stimulated.
When one Is mntempl itlm? n mountain
trip It Is an excellent plan to prepare for
It by walking up and down small hills or
up and down stairs. One should always
begin gradually, and, ns the ascent grows
steeper, ono should take fewer and shorter
iteps At first a hill that Is not steep should
be tried Do not change suddenly from a
slow tn a rapid climb. It should all be
done gradually and overexertion should bo
carefully guarded aoalnt.
The best time for a climb Is early In the
nuTtilng The afternoon should then be
Fpent quletty In going up hilt the toes
should be directed slightly Inward. The
exercise In golrg down hill Is much less
than in the ascent and the exertion Is
buriie chiefly by the Knee muscles.
The clothing should be appropriate. The
dress ought to be Iccnc and of light weight,
mid, iibuw all. 11 skirt which ecapes the
floor by fullj four Inches should be xvorn
The shoes should be easy and comfortable,
with thick soles and broad, low heels.
When an lndlxldu.il dis-s not enjoy good
health or the heart and lungs are weak,
this exercise, although It may be inado of
the greatest benefit, must nuxer bo Indulged
In without the supervision of a physician.
Tho hcait may bo tvertaxed to the point
of exhaustion
Great care should b exercised about
food and drink taken on a climbing ex
pedition. Drink water only in moderate
quantities at a time and not too cold. Do
not drink too much while exercising. Lemon
Julco milled to the water makes it a very
refreshing dilnk. Tho food should be
nourishing and It often is more convenient
to take that which Is In a concentrated
form.

He was an Amer

of 1 casual visitor.
"It's a queer, mad sort ot xvorltl, Isn't
It?" I said
He locked at me protestlngly through tho
gcild-rlmmcd spectacles.
"No, no," ho said ; "don't say that
please don't say that! I hax-e thought a
great deal about It while I have been lilng
In bed. and It Is a 'ory good world, and t
nexer knew how gooil h world it was till I
went to fight in France!"
Ho told me, in an almost awe-struck
xxolce, of the wonderful kindness, comrade
ship, courage, dutlfulness and unending
patience and endurance of tho men with
whom ho had been thrown.
"I nexer knew that men could be as good
as that." ho kept lepeatlng.
The words of that American schoolmas
ter came back to mo when a day or txvo
later I happened to be In a big London rall
to.id terminus as a convoy of wounded
arrlxed in a ited Cross train. Thn scene
levculed splendid stoicism and self-dlscl-pllne.
It would bo Idle to say there xvas
nexer a groan and no tribute to human
weakness among this mass of suffering and
dying men. Yet there xvas such cheerful
ness, such bravery, so much thought for
others, such courtesy and gratitude tow at d
those who ministered to them, that I xvas
amazed.

The other day I was discussing courage
with a group of soldiers. One of them said,
"I wan afraid before I xvent In, and I was
afraid afterward, but I wasn't afraid while
I was In it."
And that's thn view of tho majority,
xvhero courage is concerned. There's tho
apprehensive fear beforehand, nnd the awful
fear In retrospect, but always strong
courage xvlthln the actual sphere of action
"What did you find particularly In tho
French trenches?" I asked, for ho was but
newly returned from that part of the lino.
"Two things only," came the quick
answer. "Mud and confident, high spirits!
I gossiped xvlth ofllcers and men of tho

long past their youth, but stalwart and
admirably soldierlike. I talked, too. with

Causes of Headache
What arc the usual causri of headache?
AMY n.
Among the most common types of head
ache are:
Neurasthenic headache.
This headache Is not a sharp pain, but
a pressuro at the back or top of the head,
often described ns a band about tho head.
"Sinus" headache, a form of headache
generally loented Just abovo the eyes and
due to n diseased condition of some of the
sinuses connected with the nose.
Itheumatlc headache, duo to the absorp
tion of pus from some focus of infection
which may be the tonsils, teeth, suppurutlng
ear or a diseased colon
Xervous or migraine headache, sometimes
called sick headache, due to toxins absorbed
from the colon and always associated with
intestinal disarrangement.
Hot and Cold Water Drinkhifr
Khould ono
breakfast?
drink hot or cold
water before
O. II. T.
That depends upon whether the gastric
Juice is too acid or not sulllclently acid. If
tho stomach makes too little gastric acid.
one should drink a little cold water, be
cause this will stimulate tho gastric glands.
If too much acid Is present, tako a glassful
of hot water half an hour before eating.
Peanut Oil
Do loll
recant oil made from
rieanuls :
ishnleaome?
rtOllUflT D.
Yes. Peanut oil Is a xvliolcsomo food,
proxldlng It Is good oil. If tho oil Is
rancid, then It Is. of course, unwholesome.
Peanut oil Is a little more digestible than
olive oil and Is perhaps better for people
who suffer from hypopepsla than ollx'o oil,
because ollvo oil. of all nubstanc.es known,
lessens tho activities of tho stomach In pro
ducing gastric Juice.
Onions
Do onions contain iron? K. I
Haw unions nre objectionable on account
of the acrid oil they contain. Cooked prop
erly, this oil Is largely driven off. Used
thus and as a flavor for soups, tho onion
is harmless. Yes they contain a relatively
largo amount of a very easily assimilable
form of Iron.

PATSY KILDARE
By Judd Mortimer Lewis
New Year's Eve
Tonight It seemed as If I had hardl
got to sleep after ltnxvdy and I had prayed
when Itowdy barked and tho world ex
ploded and caught tiro all at 7 cc and I
fell out of bed.
I xvaq certainly surprised when we went to
the window and tho sky was nil red and
whistles xvere blowing, which I thought were
the trumpets of the angels. So I decided
that God had concluded not to fool around
xvlth tho world any more, but was going to
take us nil to heaven nnd end things. I dm
not think that was such a bad scheme,
either, but I xvlshed my father was here,
though I thought we would probably get
together on the road somewhere, I hur.
rlid and put on my clean pink nightie xvlth
the bow on the corner, and thou I felt sorry
for Itowdy because he had nothing to xvear
when he was going Into a strange neigh
borhood. So I got one of my Christmas
nighties nnd put it on him and then I gath
ered up tho threo orphan kittens and took
them in my nrms.
Howdy and I went and stood on our fron
porch and waited. Pretty toon the vorld
caught on fire across the street and I irned
all red and lit up like ex-crythlng, A crowd
of people xvas going by. laughing and hol
lering. Ono woman looked at mn and said
"See the child with tho beautiful hair;
Doesn't she look like an angel?" I said to
her, "Whet did you ex-er seo an angel? I
am glad I liOk like one, for I nm going to
be one pretty soon. Why not stick around,
so that all of us can go In a bunch? It Is
kind of lonesome being mado into an angel
nil by yourself, except for a dog and three
kittens." The woman slopped and said, "What do
you mean, child?" 1 said, "Why don't you
stick around xvlth me whllo the world comes
o an end that tho two of us can go to
heaven together?" She said, "Do you think
the world is coming to nn end?" I Bad, "l
know It." Then she laughed and I saw she
xx'as pretty and her laugh was about tho
sweetest sound I had ever heard. Sho sala,
"You dear child, this Is only New Year's
and people aro making all this noise Just to
welcome the new year." Then sno ran to
catch up with tho others and I sat down
suddenly, for I felt kind of funny in my
Inside, as If I waH Just getting over being
scared. I tildt "Rowdy, stand still xvhile I
take off your nightie. You cannot expect
to bo allowed to wear a nightie like that
outside of heaven." I guess he was glad of
It, too.
Then Mr. Green came out Into his front
yard with a gun and began shooting It
straight up Into tho air. I went over there
and said, "Is thero anything; In that gun?"
Ho said, "If you will tak) the cotton out
of your ears you will hear something: that
sounds line a loua noise. Tliere is powder
and enough buckshot In this gun to kill a
horse." Then I said, "Stop shooting It up
In the air, or I will make Rowdy eat you
up." Mrs. Green said, "The Idea! Patsy,
what Is the matter with you?" I said, "My
mother Is nn angel and who knows what
might happen to her while sho Is flying
around In heaven and ho Is shooting that
gun straight up?"
Mrs. Green put her handkerchief to her
face and looked ns If she wss going to bust
out laughing, and then she turr.rd her back
to me all ot a sudden. Mr. Green said,
"Well, for the love of Mlkel Wouldn't that
get your goat?" Then Mrs. Green turned
around again and said to him, "Please shoot
the gun into the ground If you snoot It any
more. I would not have anything happen
to Patsy's mother for anything." I said.

lecture, "Trench Warfare."
Kmpey Is In this country because lie Is
Invalided. Two bayonet xx-ounds and a ter

cheek tho mark of his grim athenture, and
the scar Is a tribute to a suigery that per

as substitute for the shattered facial bone.
