TIIU illctloiinry of foods gives the

knowledge of foods nnd their uses; this
knowledge in not found in cookbooks
and it Klinuld be n help to the housewife
In the ("election and purchasing of food
supplies for her Inrder.
For many years the fanner 1ms
studied, experimented nnd tested out tlio
various rations of food for the cnttlc,
swlnc and poultry, with the express Idea
of not how ehenp he could feed them,
but how rould he supply them with the
food needed for their upkeep in a phys
ical state of perfection and thus lncren.se
their money value without expending
lnrgo sums of money, as would be the
case if he did not know the constituents
nnd cot of the various feed rations on
the market.
Hence It Is for the purpose of helping
the housewife to gain a concrete knowl
edge of the food supply that I have ar
ranged thin dictionary of foods.
Cheesecake This dish Is original
from the old Holland housewives, who
mixed the fresh curd of either butter
milk or sk'm-mllk cheese with sugar,
spice, eggs, etc., nnd turned it Into a
deep pon which hud been lined with
plain pastry; the mixture is baked in a
slow oven until set. This Is a delicious
tart.
Cherry History tells us that the
cherry tree is a member of tho peach,
.apricot and nectnrine fnmllv, nnd, like
,-,these fruits, It came from Persia. The
cherry is n popular fruit, served both
cooked und raw, when in season ; it Is
canned and dried for conservation for
future U"o; it is also prepared into cor
dials nnd packed into bottles nnd known
tinder the trnde name of maraschino
cherries nn.l do inlnthc cherries. This
fatter style is used for garnishing nnd
decorating.
Wild cherries, both fruit nnd bnrk.
arc used medicinally, while the fancy
cherries, cultivated in the famous Mis
sion Valley of California, ore famous
for their delicious nnd delicate flavor.
Jams, jellies and conserves arc made
fiom this f.-ult. In ltrlttnuy. Inlanders
and Switzerland, during the famous
cherry season, the schools close so that
the children may help harvest the crop
of perishable cherries. There is nKo
made a delicious cherry soup, which
many tourists linger for weeks iti the
season to enjoy.

A Nose Out of Joint
JIM HAKLOWI3 was not at all the
typo of man that could ever appeal
to Frances. He was Just the, ordinary
young business man with not any of
Jerry's keener perceptions. Frances
would have preferred to gtte more of
her time to George Graham, who sat at
her left; but for that evening1 she Intend

rissa to know how It felt.
Clarissa, In baby blue chiffon, sat
next to Jerry. She kept glancing to

tinually that she wa3 hardly conscious
of Jerry's proximity.
It wasn't only Frances' changed at

American chestnut Is just n little smaller
tbnn those grown on the Continent. The
nutritive value of the chestnut Is very
great; the protein, fat, sugar and
starch elements give this nut a promi
nent place in the list of foods. The
chestnut Is roasted, boiled, steamed, nnd
Is also conserved in sirup; the large
Spanish chistnut is used for this latter
purpose.
In various parts of Europe the chest
nut is prepared Into a Hour nnd Is also
ground into coarse men! and made Into
cakes. It is often used In southern
Kuropc for making puddings nnd in
place of the potato.
Chick pea Is the field pea of the

fact, he looked a little dowdy and her
frock wna obviously nn old one fur
bished up for the occasion. Clarissa
wouldn't have minded her so much It
she hadn't laughed at everything Fran
ces said. She seemed to adore Frances,
nnd afterward, when thev were having
coffee In the living room, Elsie, who was
apparently quite content to be badly
dre.st.ed and rather out of It, turned to
Clarissa nnd said admiringly:
"Isn't Frances wonderful? AVe were
at college together and she was nlways
one of the most popular girls then."
Clarissa looked at Klslo out ot round,
hluo eyes that were slightly cold and
said confidingly, as though she would
like to win Hlslo over to her side:
"Vcs, she's quite too clever. Isn't
she' She nlmost terrifies poor llttlo
me I think men like to talk with clever
women, but they re nlways a bit afraid
of too much brains. Don't you think
so?"
Klsle smiled. Was this poor little
girls nose out of Joint? To be sure,
Frances had rather monopolized Mrs.
Harlowc's husband during dinner, and
It whs quite possible that Clarlfsa was
jealous.
"Well." she said slowly, "If the men
are afraid of Frances's bralnB, one
would neer think It. to look nt them
now."
Clarissa's mouth closed with a snap
nnd she moved slightly away from Klsle.
She thought Kl?le merelp stupid. Why.
she didn't even hao enough sense to be
Jealous, she was content to sit back and
watch l-rances aumiringiy.
Several times Clarissa tried to get

Yesterday's Mystery Solution
T." TH13 case of "The Hed Sweater"
-L Harvey Hunt's scientific knowledge
cnnbled him to sec the flaw in the false
tectlmnny of the farmer, Jackson
Grimes.
(rimes had testified that there hnd
been just light enough for him to note
that the woman wore n light blue ki
mono. This she ndmittcd to be the
truth. Therefore, he argued, he couldn't
have been mistnken about the color of
the sweater, which lie was positive was
red.
It is n scientific fact, however, that
the color of red cannot be distinguished
in n light which is barely strong enough
to reveal the color blue.
Hunt knew from this that the man
could not have distinguished the color
of the sweater. The emphasis of his
strtemtnt that he could, under the clr
curai lances, could only indicate tlmt
Iw wa lying deliberately.
As a result of Hunt's explanation,
suspicion turned upon him, nnd he wns
arrested. A week Inter, concealed in
Gilmer' own house, the sheriff found
the red sweater with a bloody sleeve
that convicted him.

wns from Dr. Elizabeth. Frohish, one of

"Dear Mr. Hunt," it read, "I nm

received this morning. It is very nn
ncying. AVill you undertake to find out
for me who is the writer? Yours very
truly. Elizabeth Frohish. M. D."
The anonymous note inclosed with the
letter evidently hnd been written on
common wrapping paper, cut to size. It
rend :
"Your scandalous conduct with Mr.

Now there really wasn't any flro at

Judge Owl hnd irlven lilm classes that

made him gasp und choke.
Hut thn stnnkn wasn't from a forest

wns from a tlnv smudge Hilly had mado

blowing the smoke through n little liobi

"Hoo! Hoo! I'm burning up." screeched
Oreat Horned Owl. "The flro Is so hot

"Kiee ! Flee I" enrlcked the Dlrds.
"Oood-by, Great Horned Owl I Poor

The birds fled past the tree as If In

thought all Hlrdland was In frantloJ
"Savo me! Oh, don't let me burn up!
oh, my feet nro on fire!" screeched
Oreat Horned Owl, nnd he squeezed and

from Oreat Horned Owl, for fear he
might eat them. Hut Oreat Horned Owl

darted up behind nnd spurred him on

thought that peck wns n spark of fire,

Tho birds went with him, shrieking nt

You have heard about the Peggy

winds round nnd round one's arm until
there nre four or five loops. You re
member I told you of them one day in
the Adventures. Well, today I saw n
bracelet quite similar to these but with
an added touch that will delight you.
The nice salesperson who showed them
to me put one on her arm. and I wish
you could have seen how well it looked.
Four or five loops of a delicate silver
chain, nnd depending from them n soft
graceful tassel made of strands of
small linked chains. You would not
believe how effective it can be. "So
nice," the girl said, "for some ono who
is going to a dance or party." I know
you will like them, and will consider
them well worth their price of $11.
If you have some satin you would

Miss Polly Payne, aged forty yc
young! sat In her living room, a log
burning brightly In t,1P",l?r0f,ln.ch8c
TVwitMiB the cat. wns ensconced on inc
JoCTooteirwasWall the company Miss
Polly had, and she was lonesome: from
her window she could see children skat
in nn the little pond beyond ner
me'adow. sho could Wr The r merry
voices is she opened the window to
throw o" crumbsP to a robin, who had
ovldently mado up his mind not to mi
grate: probably he did not want to
diange a certainty for an "f"'
and he was sure to get 1,n",,e,veI!Z
day from this source. M bb Polly re
suincd her neat, and soliloquised; the
chldren's voices had brought to her
mind memories of the wrf; $" "h,2
had taught school, and had many little
ones under her care and supervision,
and they all hnd loved her.
Was she through with love7 Oh, yea;
When she sent In her resignation to
the school committee It wan because In
reply to Plchard Pclrcc's letter contain
ing a proposnl of marriage, she had
sent by her chum. Lucy L,ee a note of
ncceptnnce. Richard was called away
out West on business (so1 sho heard).
Polly, not hearing directly, waited and
waited In nnxlous anticipation for his
return. Finally It was her surprise nnd
dismay to receive n western Paper with
a marked mnrrlago notice Itlchard
Felrce and Iucy Lee.
"No," Polly would reply when the
question was put to hor, "Aren t you
ever going to mnrry?"
"No, I shall never marry, I am n
confirmed old mnldl"
She was unusually lonely today, All
alone!" was her mental comment.
"I will pretend I will be bnppy. I will
try- to believe that my dear ones nre
hero with me."
Thus deciding, she proceeded to take
out photographs from a box and place
h.m nn tho buffet, and then went to
the nantry and prepared to 'cook up
for her pretended company.
"I thall have to resort to store mince
meat for my mince pies, for I cannot
firocurc sugar for love or money. For
unately the cranberries I put up three
years ago contnln sugar and nre aa
good as at first; pumpkin docs not
require much sugar and sirup will do
the sweetening this time, nnd I will
make a dnrk fruit cake such as Itlch
ard used to like, and here again store
mincemeat will come Into" use and I will
dispense with the frosting, pretended
company will not notice the omission,
and I must have a chicken to roast
sure, for I will want to wish on tho
lucky bone !"
A few oak leaves stilt remained In
the tree beside the kitchen window, m
stray branch of chrysanthemums blos
somed on the south side of the house.
Thla ropy gathered, put lnttf a vase
and with the words "I will forgive, then
forget," placed tho vase beside the pic
ture of Itlchard Pelrce, then she set the
tnble, putting on plates, etc., for father,
mother, brother, slBter all tn whom had
crossed tho dark river on each nlato
she put a photograph.
The vianos renuy, me mine set, sne
seats hecselt nt the table and asks a
blessing, when honk ! honk I a big limou
sine hns come Into the yard, the chauf
feur alights and rings the doorbell. As
Polly opens the door a voice says, "Does
Polly Payne live here?"
Miss Polly's heart thumps and for an
Instant seem? to choke her beyond
speech as she recognizes Itlchard Pelrco.
Although the Intervening yenrs have
somewhat changed his appearance, the
voice Is the same.
"Hlchard Pelrce!"
"Yes. Hlchard Pelrce; may I come
Inr
"Yes, yes," she stammers. As the man
enters nnd notices the tnble bountifully
Inden, he remarks: "I fear I nm Intrud
ing; you evidently have company!"
"No, I have not. I I waa lonesome
and only pretending!" Then overtaxca
nature gives way and poor Miss Polly
resorts to womanly weakness tears.
In nn Instant Hlchard Is by her side,
"Dear girl," he says, "why bo lonesome?
Ist me comfort you, but first hear my
explanation of years of silence regard
ing the past. Lucy In her Inst Illness
told me about the note you sent me. Hh
did not guess Its Importance and gave
It to one of your pupils to give to me.
Later Bne icarncu ne nan railed to de
liver It. Of course when I did not hear
from you I concluded thnt your sllenco
meant not consent, but rbfusal. I mar
ried Lucy.
"Our little daughter Allegro Is all that
Is left me. I have only now heard about
you and your loneliness, as you see I
instantly sought you nnd now. Polly, 1
nsk will you marry me?"
"Oh, Itlchard, It Is too late, Why, I
am no longer the girl whom you loved
long ngo. I am forty years old !"
"Well, I nm fifty nnd consider myself
In the prime of life. There may be a
lew yenrs or nappmess tor us yet. It
Is never too late to be hnppy and I am
sure Allegra will love your cooking, and
by the way, your dinner Is getting cold."
His Joking nnd mentioning of his
daughter appeals to Folly, ahe said
"Hut. oh, Hlchard, as they say In novels
this is so sudden!"
"Sudden nfter all theso years. Forget
ii, k mil 'Vilnius, iui juur i es. wont
jou say It?' ""in
So Miss Polly says "Yes."

You will bo better able to decide when

shy about asking If ho may cnll. you

The afternoon wns very dull
.And time was passing slow,
The sun was hid from earthly sight.
For clouds were hanging low
What should I do? No friend was near
To pass the tlmo of dny;
My heart was sad, my spirit low
And Bloom chased Joy nway.
Dut what wsji that 1 A knock I The door I
I ran In haste to see.
And there appeared upon, the stoop
a Trienu to visit me.
It was tho LBDOEn, bringing news,
And llfo was real once more,
I quickly brought my friend Insldo
To rend the pages o'er.
And soon I came to Cynthia
And her advice I read,
It was the best of nil, I found,
An others oft hnvo said.
And as I read, the sun shone forth
And filled my little room.
And life was real to tno once more,
The Ledoeh chased the gloom.

Dear Cynthia. Aa I have been reading
your column nearly every day, I feel as
though I were privileged to osk you a
question. .
I am fifteen years old and go to high
school. Naturally, you wilt think thnt
nt high school you have a chance to
make friends, but I don't find It ro. Of
course, I know numbers upon numbers
of girls. Just to speak to, and I don't
find It enough.
Do you suppose that I nm too self
conscious? I get very lonely becnuso I
don't go out at nil, and thero arc no
girls near my home.
Can you suggest any club, eta, where
I could find diversion? LONKLY.
There are clubs In the high schools
for glrlH of your nge. Consult your
teacher nbout Joining one. Have you
ever thought of Joining a troop of Olrl

THE WOMAN WHO CONSIDERS
THAT HER LIFE IS A FAILURE
Is Afflicted With Either Bad Health or Too Much Spare Timc
If Sho Were Busy She Wouldn't Be Able to Worry
A MAN recently wrote to tho news
paper about the discontent of hi
wife.
He told of various good deeds that sho
tins done nnd H doing alt the tlmo,
church work of vnrloun kinds, lied
Cross work, sending n cripple to the
seashore every summer, nursing her
mother, her husband nnd her daughter
through IllncRses, and III thn meantime
attending to her homo and bringing up
two daughters.
And recently she read one of those
books which urges introspection nnd
other high-sounding things.
"My life is a complete failure' she
sighed when sho finished it. "becnuso
I have done nothlntr worth while."
Another womnn, hnvfng read the
husband's letter, wrote one herself, in
which sho sympathized with this wife.
"All her work has been on the onto
tionnl side of her life," slm declit-cd.
"Sho wants something on the creative
side. Women should have more chance
to develop this crcntivo side, to create
in business, writing-, art and music."
Still another woman remarked:
"Either she hns too much spare timc
to spend in reading silly books and
brooding over them, or else sho Is not
well."
And thnt is a very sensible way of
looking at it.
I
F YOU follow tho advice of some per
sons you won't do anything but
brood about yourself.
"I must find myself," you will cry
despairingly. "I must decide what my
life work is to be, I must do something
worthwhile."
And white you arc indulging in this
Intmsnectlnn something worth while

inconspicuous garb nnu you nro so

Knut Hamsun's Ship Has Come Home
4C7IX, sure I knew lilm. Ho wob such nn out-at-thc-clbows lad. He wu
W terribly poor. That was many years ngo, when he came to Chicago after
working ns a plowboy on the North Dakota Prnirlei.
"He got a job ns conductor on one if tho old horsccar lines. My. it wi
cold on tho bnck platform! I still remember his chapped red wrists where his
coat sleeves forgot to meet his mittens.
"And ho carried books in his tattered pockets. Always books. Such r
drcumcr ! The passengers used to get mad. Ho would forget to pull the rope,
nnd they missed their corners."
Such nro some of the recollections by n prominent rsorwegian of Knut Ham
sun, who wns recently awarded the Nobel prize for literature $50,000.
It took the world almost a third of a century to "discover" Knut Hamsun,
nnd it took him almost as long to "discover" himself.
When fate desires n great success, she sends her chosen one repeated failure
Khe deems it dangerous to let him ripen too fast, and sho has good reason. She
has seen so many who got their reword loo quickly get entangled In ease's silken
mesh, llenllzatlon must not come swiftly, elso we cannot endure It, fall vic
tims to fatty degeneration nf ambition, nnd die of an acute attack of self-complacency
aggravated by egotism and inertia.
Early in his teens, Hamsun wns apprenticed to a shoemaker, in whnie jhop,
from morning till night, ho hnmmered out his thoughts rather than his leather.
The boss' customers couldn't wear thoughts, so Hamsun "got the gate."
Then began Knut Hamsun's rigorous training in tho University of Hard
Knocks, lie worked on heavy schedule, and he also took many post-graduate
courses. Hut not because ho loved his almn mater.
lly the time he reached the ago when most college students are sending home
for remittances for n cap and gown, Hnmsun hnd been a coal heaver, school
teacher, road mender, farm hand, bailor, fisherman, lecturer and free-lance
journalist.
All of which excellently qualified him to write his masterpiece, "Hunser,"
an autobiographical record of struggle, starvation, passion, compassion, the pawn
broker, occasional fleeting comparative success, laughter, tears und love a fairly
full sum total of an average human life, and depicted with the art of genius and a
soul aflame.
AVe are going to hear a good deal more of Kuut Hamsun we should hate
heard of him twenty ycarB ago, nt which tlmo he seemed to have been securelj
ditched by Dame Destiny a trick the old jndo is notoriously fond of playing,
especially with her future favorites. 8ho wields a wicked stuffed club.
But Knut Hamsun has what has been called "the unconquerable soul." He
had made his decision to follow the gleam, nnd ho could but "sail on, sail on and
on." No sens of disappointment could mnko him founder. No waves of dik
couragement or disillusionment could keep him under. No storms of defeat and
deprivation would warp his timber.
And so, Knut Hamsun's ship has como home.
