A Practical Way
to Make
COCONUT CUSTARD PIE
* Cn of BaUr'i Fresh Grated
Coconut; * cupful of sugar;
pinch of salt; % cupful of
milk; 2 egg*.
Beat eflfi * j gar ftlld salt to
gether: ndct can of coconut; pour into
pie tin lined with pie crust. Bake in
moderate oven on bottom rack thirty
to thirty-five minutes, or until set.
Try with silver knife; if knife comes
out dry the pie is done; if the custard
and coconut separate it has baked
too long. This fills a seven-inch pie
of regular depth. The crust is made
as follows:
Sift one cupful of flour, pinch of
alt into bowl; add two level table
spoonfuls of pure lard 'or double any
other shortening ; rub in lightly until
well mixed; add enough cold water
to hold together. The less water and
handling the better the crust will be.
Roll out on floured board. This will
make a high edge on the pie.
P. S. Pastry flour is beat.

"Barbara Fritchie" Has
Old-Time War Spirit

HUH|
MRS. JULIA KUHX AND GREAT i
i GRANDCHILD
Carlisle, Pa., May 15.—As filled
with patriotism as in the days half
a century ago when she defied the
' Confederate army, Mrs. Julia Kuhn,
of Boiling Springs. Cumberland
i county's "Barbara Fritchie," de
, clares that she would "do the same
j thing to Kaiser Bill and his men,"
: ) should the occasion warrant.
• Mrs. Kuhn tells the story of the
way in which herself and a neighbor,
I before whose house the Stars and
! Stripes ■ were flying when Fitzliugh
1 Lee's column marched into this sec
tion, were ordered to take down the
flag, but how she refused and lacon
ically remarked "the flag stayed up."
j Vibrant with patriotic fervor, al
though in her ninetieth year, Mrs.
' Kuhn deplores the horrors and suf-
I fering of war, as having felt them
:in her younger days she does not
wish herself or her descendants to
undergo the same experience. She
! lived adjacent to Daniel Kauffman
!of "Underground Railway" fame
1 during the Civil war, when the lat-
I ter received almost daily consign
ments of escaped negroes from
1 Stephen Weakley, living farther up
I the valley, and transported them by
j night to the next station in a large
1 Conestoga wagon.
j She has three children, nine grand-
I children and four great grandchil
i dren living. She still prides herself
I on being able to "quilt" as well as
j she used to and boastd of her skill
jin this direction. I

j suffering from a fall over the stair
| way at the home of her son. She
I was descending the stairway when
| she became dizzy and fell over the
I railing to the floor below. She is

1 No bids were received by the
county commissioners to furnish one
thousand tons of crushed stone to

Destructive Fire Burns ;
Over Cove Mountain
Duucannon, Pa., May 15. One]
of the most destructive flres that has 1
eVor burned in this dtstrlct is still
raging on the upper half of the Cove
mountain horseshoe. The fire started i
yesterday about ten o'clock and has:
since spread rapidly over the entire
mountain, both on the Cove anj |
Duncannon sides. At midnight the
flames were close to the reservoir I
that supplies Duncannon with water. !
Reports that the Neal estate was;
threatened were without foundation, l
as the dam separates the farm from !
the mountain on the one side and I
on the other the mountain is several
miles away.
The timber burned was owned by
Duncan and Wills and the Duncan- |
non Iron Company and was of little i
value. When the timber was taken J
from the mountain several years ago '
every tree that would make tooth-!
picks was cut and hundreds of cords I
of wood piled up that have Yiever j
been removed. Since the cutting. \
low underbrush has grown up and i
made the mountain side tinder for a!
forest fire, A small party of men |
are fightlflg the fire, but little head
way has been made towards con
quering it.
