The Home-Maker's Responsibility
The home-keeping woman is re
sponsible t'or the cleanliness and whole
soineness ot' her home, the health and
morals of her children, and their sense
of honesty and efficiency. This is u big
assignment and was given to a woman
who came before a down-state judge
last week in an attempt to gain control
of her children, who had been takeu
from her by her husband.
But this is not all of the duty that
mothers and housekeepers have in con
nection with their families. Women
are responsible for more than health
and morals. If a neighborhood is
filthy, her house, no matter how clean
she keeps it, will be full of bad air
and odors.
If dealers are permitted to sell im
pure food, unclean milk or keep food
in unsanitary stores, all her care goes
t'or naught. It' contagious diseases con
taminate a school or if school condi
tions are degrading, the mother is to
blame if she does not use her influence
to make the surroundings as good as
they can be made. Home life does not
begin nor end at the door, but goes
into every walk of life. "Where there
is no responsibility there is 110 effort."

Delicious and Healthful Dishes
We do not ha\e corn meal products
on our tables as frequently as we might
arid this is unfortunate, in view of the
fait thnt this is wholesome food aud
easily prepared.
Corn Meal Mush.—Stir the meal
into salted water that is boiling. Cook
slowly, stirring frequently. I'se three
times as much water as meal.
Fried Mush.—When making corn
meal mush prepare sufficient for two
meals. Mold one-half in a bread pan
or square mold. This will keep fresh
for several days and makes an excel
lent breakfast dish. Slice the molded
mush, roll each slice in flour and fry
brown and crisp in dripping or in hot
butter.
Fried Celery.—The outside stalks of
celery are coarse and strong and not
pleasing on the table, hut, cooked, th«y
become tender and delicate. Cut the
celery in inch or inch and a half pieces,
dip these in egg. then roll in flour that
is seasoned with salt aud pepper. Place
in a frying basket and immerse in
deep, hot fat. When brown place on
a cloth to drain and serve at once.
The celery should be dried on a cloth
before dipping in the egg, else the egg
and flour will not adhere. This dish
i> called celery sticks and the crisp,
brown morsels make n prettv garnish
for all meats.
Stuffed Baked Peppers.—Cut the
tops from tiie pepper, so they make a
cap that can be fastened on again. Re
move every seed and place the peppers
in fresh cold water for an hour or two.
This draws out the liotness and the
linger you keep the peppers in the
fresh water the milder they will be.

POISON OF NICOTINE

"Tobacco hoart" is a condition well

eJusion to be drawn from them is
"that tobacco has a ertain, yos-ibly

That nicotine is a powerful poison

i nen straight to tbo shepherd's cot
tage came the exalted one on the rich
ly caparisoned horse, accompanied by
a few chosen ones including one at
tired as court jester.
"Well met, good man," said the ex
alted one. addressing Rivarre. "And
thou seemest here in the forest to
thrive of goodly prosperity and plenty.
Might we intrude upon thy hospitality
to the extent of a draught of goat's
milk? The same, good man, would
soothe our red hot gullets. For certain
'tis that we are sorely athirst."
Rivarre bowed low to the exalted
presence on the horse, and then called
to those within the house the order for
the milk. Paulo, too, bowed low. "For
both shepherd and huntsman had heard
Thold, the court fool, address the ex
alted one as "Sire." And they knew
that they were looking upon his majes
ty, King Leofric of Urania.
Recalling the warning of Hagar, the
witch, Paulo felt a fear so vague ho
could scarcely define it. yet a fear so
compelling that Involuntarily he
stepped to the door of the cottage to
warn his Godlva to remain within. But
l'aulo was too late. Already tlia fair
Godiva had appeared in ilie doorway,
coming forth with earthen vessel of
milk and followed by her mother with
earthen cups.
And now the king looked upon Go
diva as one transfixed. So instant was
his admiration for the lovely daughter
of Rivarre and so instantly fierce his
passion and desire for maid so exquis
ite, that he dismounted that he might
the better view her incomparable love
liness. And Paulo trembled with rage
at sight of this kingly covotousness.
And Godiva herself was filled with
strange alarms.
" 'Tis an ugly wench," said Thold,
the jester, close to the ear of the king.
"So uglv, sire, that thou hadst better
quaff the milk she proffers and fly
hence, lest she take thee with her hor
rible eyelids."
"Silence—fool!" the king replied.
"Homage thou shalt pay to beauty so
rare. By my halidome, thou shalt
make obeisance to yonder maid as to
a queen. Grovel, I say. Grovel at her
feet, Thold, and k'ss not more than
the toe of her sandal, the which being
the total of her person thou art fitted
to look upon."
And in awful fear. Thold, the jester,
groveled dutifully ar the feet of Godiva
and kissed the toe of her sandal. And
the king quaffod the milk tne maiden
proffered. And the gentlemen of the
entourage drank deeply aiso ot the
goat's milk till much refreshed, they
waited fo. the fuittier commands ot
their august sovereign.
"Thy name: sold the king speaking
directly now for the iirsl ime to the
object of iiis newborn admiration.
"Godiva!" the maiden replied, cour
tesvlng.
"Ay! tis a name most befitting thy
form and face,' ih kin* said. Thou
art named after the lovely Lady Godiva
who, 400 years ago. redo through the
market-place of Coventry on a white
horse, vith naught but her black
tresses .o cover her perfection of per

potent was that in Paulo's breast; for !
what could one huntsman do to check
the encroachment of a king who had
at his beck and call full fifty archers
and sundry varlets. No. Paulo was
obliged to vkw in passive rage the
going of Godiva and his majesty into ]
the forest, the going of his dear love j
with the klnc against whose evil heart
they had been warned by - agar, the
witch. I
Nevertheless, Paulo slipped away
from the cottage unobserved by the
king's men who loitered there awaiting
their sire's return. And through the
forest Paulo slyly and silently crept in
the wake of Godiva and the king. i
Presently Paulo saw the king stop
by a great oak, with Godiva by hi«
side. And more than this Paulo be
held. He saw the king suddenly take
the form ot Godiva In his arms and,
though the maiden struggled valiantly
against the king's advances, his majes
ty again and again pressed burning
kisses upon the blood-red llpß of
Godiva.
The lover lives not. then nor now,
who inactively can behold such dese
cration of his lady-love. Paulo dashed
forward and seized the king by the j
throat and felled him to the ground. It 1
was but the natural resource of the
outraged lover who had witnessed the
outraging of his dear love. But Paulo
had struck the sacred person of the
king. And fie knew full well that his
act would be deemed a riae and that
now was the moment of the beginning
of his life's tragedy.
"Fly, my Paulo!" cried Godiva in '■
great alarm. "Run away!" she urged.
j "See, even now the archers come run-
J ning to take thee. Oh, what hast thou
1 done! I would have suffered a thou
! sand struggles with his majesty rather
I than that thou shouldst have broughL
this calamity upon us. See. the
is too weak to rise. Flv, my Paulo—
fly!"
"Nay, Godiva!" protested Paulo. "1 j
did but what chivalry would have de- 1
manded of any man, most of all of one t
to whom thou hast plighted thy troth.
I will remain and suffer what punish
ment is in store."
"For my sake, dear Paulo!" ex
claimed Godiva. "For my sake, fly. j
Look! The archers are coming In
full force. Fly—for my sake."
"For your dear sake, then, Godiva— '
so shall it be."
And Paulo, the huntsman, darted
away, leaping through the forest with
the swiftness of a deer. And the ,
archers came pellmelllng to the spot
where Godiva stood transfixed with
fear for the safety of he.* lover and
where the king was getting upon his
feet.
"After him. varlets," shouted the
"Seize him—or die."
CHAPTER 111.
The Death Dungeon.
As the archers sped in pursuit of the
luckless Paulo, the king turned to
' Godiva. doffed his plumed hat gallant- j
ly and said:
" 'Tis no fault of thine. Godiva. Fear i
not for thyself. Thou shalt learn that j
the king of Urania loves tli e too well
to cause harm to befpll thine own self, j
As for yonder huntsman—"
His majesty shrugged his shoulders
as if to fay: "Yonder huntsman j
must needs pay the forfeit for his
temerity in striking one so august as
I."
And the king gallantly accompanied
Godiva back to the cottage of Rivarre.
her father, and there waited in gloomy
silence, while Godiva told her parents j
what Had befallen Pniilo Rivarre and !
his family, aside, wept for Paulo, and
prayed that the brave huntsman would
escape his pursuers.
Paulo, meantime, in flight through
the forest, saw that, despite his fieet
ness of foot, hia pursuers were gain
ing on him. He nailed and took shel
tpr behind a tree. And n moment later
an arrow from his crossbow sped
forth and found its victim —piercing
the heart of the foremost archer. Agein
Paulo shot a bolt from his bow, and
again, the haft brought an archer to
the ground writhing in the death
asony. Paulo then turned to flee. But
In an upcropping root of the tree, his
foot caught. He stumbled and fell.
And, before he could rise, the archers
were upon him.
What a fight then took place! Paulo
fought like one suddenly denionized,
fighting for his ,ife. fighting for his
happiness, lighting for iove of Godiva.
But what could one lone huntsman do
with fully twenty archeis surrounding
him? That he was overpowered and
Ills hand' 3 tied behind hire was uo fault
of Paulo's. Overwhelming numbers
alone had made a captive of Godiva's
lover.
Then back they led hint to the cot
tage of Rivarre, where the king await
ed their coming. At sight of Paulo,
helpless and bound, in the hands of
the- archers. Godiva cried out in dis
tress so pitiable that any heart save
a kingly one of stone would have been
moved.
Uut the king wanted Godiva for his
own. And lie was sufficiently gifted
• ith perspicacity to know that Pnu'o,
liiH captiv<\ wa. nothing less to Godiva
than her heart's love. The king wished
himself to win the heart of this
tneiden And to do so lie must rid his
kingdom of the handsome huntsman
whom Godiva had already learned to
love. So with his heart of stone
prompting his words, lie now an
nounced to the assembled company:
"The law is even greater than the
king. The law says that whoso strikes
the king must die. Paulo, the hunts
man lias struck the king. He must
die."
With the cry of a stricken animal
Godiva flung herself on Paulo and
found a chance to whisper to him: j
"Be brave, my Paulo. Surely a
chance thou ehalt find to escape. And
when thou art free, fly to the cave oi
Hagar, the witch. I will meet thee
there and we will fly together into the
mountains."
Godiva then turned to the king and
beseeched him to bestow mercy upon
her Paulo. But the king only replied
in mockery of pity:
"A maiden in distress is ever a
sight for the gods Chivalry lack 1
not. but the law is greater even than .
chivalry. The man Paulo must die."
And, at the king's orders, tne arch
ers now dragged Paulo away. The
king with a bow in which he swept his
plumed hat to the very earth, bade Go- |
diva au revoir, saying:
"We shall meet again, fair Godiva, 1
under happier circumstances. There
are other hearts than thy Paulo's
pining for thee. It is meet that one so ■
young should find consolation thus in
the outpouring of some heart other
than that of the first comer who :
chances to meet thy gaze. Be thou ;
therefore comforted—till we meet j
•non."

HEALTH AND WEDLOCK
Conditions That Should Be Studied Be
fore It Is Too Late
Marriage, from any joint of view,
is, of course, a serious proposition, as
it may bless or wreck two human lives,
if not more. Not the lea>r important
of these points of view is that of the
health of both parties to the contract.
The Health Commissioner of Pennsyl
vania in mi official bulletin gives the
following advice to those about to
marry:
"First, a man should not marry un
less into a family with a history of
reasonable longevity, free from hereji
tnr ydisease. Ho should not marrv a
woman advanced in life, delicate, fee
ble or afflicted with any inherited de
formity. The age most proper for
women in this climate is 19 or 2(1 years
and for men 24 or 2j years. Women
of a nervous temperatment. those who
are extremely irritable, hysterical, sub
ject to convulsions or to epilepsy from
organic disease ought to avoid matri
mony.
"in this country marriages before
the ages of -•"« and 19. respectively, are
cont ra-iudicated, becahse. as a rule,
previous to these periods of life the
body is not fuly developed, the differ
ent functions are not perfect, and anv
offspring developed by them in their
immature condition must be deficient in
vital power."
TROIiEY SAFETY
A Car Tliat Cannot Start, Wliile Its
Doors Are Open
Now that almost every person be
yo'iid infancy in America has learned
that one bell means to stop and two
bells to go ahead an ingenious device
ijs coming into use which threatens to
throw the t.vo bells knowledge into
the scrapheap.
In the latest type of center door
trollev cars, which are rapidly coming
into wide service, no signal to go ahead
is needed. A passenger sitting in a
front seat is mystified as to how the
niotornian knows when to start the car
after a street corner stop. It is all due
to coupling up the doors with the cur
rent that moves the ear.
When a passenger wishes to leave
the ear the conductor caiunot open the
doors so lonij' as the motor of the car
is running. When the ear stops and
the coud'uetor opens the doors the mo
term a n turns the handle of his con
troller on one no'tch, but the fii't that
the doors are ojien prevents any cur
rent from reaching the motor. As soon
as the conductor closes the doors the
current becomes available for the mo
tors hii I the ra:' slowly starts.
The motorman cin never start the
ear while the doors are open; conse
quently it is always s ife for him to
try to start at any time without wait
ing for a signal from the conductor. —-

Recognized
A Pennsylvania lawyer known
throughout the Htate for his sharpness
once met his match in a very unex
pected quarter.
An old woman was being cross ex
amined by him as to how the testator
had looked when iie made a remark to
her about some relatives.
"I don't remember. He's been dead
three years," she answered testily.
"Do you mean to tell me that your
memory is so bad that you cannot go
bank tiiree years!" demanded the at
torney.
The witness was silent.
"Did lie look anything like me?"
the lawyer finally ventured.
"Seems to me he did have the same
sort of vacant look," responded the old
ladv.—New Orleans Picayune.
Naturally
"Yes," said the Roman candle, "I
was very distressing. There was my
friend, the Fountain of Fire, making
a very beautiful display when all of a
sudden the rain came down in perfect
torrents.''
"Mercy, how sad!" said the little
Pin wheel. "And was she very amgryf"
"Not angry, exactly," said the Ro
man Candle, "but I could see from the
way she sputtered that she was very
much put out."—Exchange.
