12 E HOUSEHOLD TALKS Henrietta D. Grauel Every Woman Her Own Baker Chicago bakers have decided upon •ix-cent broad. While one does not notice a difference in the size or weight of the loaf of baker's bread ns yet, fakes, rolls, biscuit and other small articles that have not advanced in price, are much smaller in size than they were. Everyone knows the reason. Wheat Is up, flour is high and the ultimate consumers are the ones who must pay. It would seem that if we must send flour abroad that this would bo a good time to send some of our excellent cer eral flours. This would serve two pur poses; it would save our wheat flour for our own use, and it would also introduce corn meal, Graham meal, rye and buckwheat flours to other coun tries. Many readers of this column will remember that in 1893 a corn kitchen was opened in Paris, and there corn was prepared in every possible form with the idea of making this splendid cereal popular abroad. In some way the report was circu lated that the better class of Americans did not relish or use corn meal or corn products, but relegated it to servants' tables. Tliis erroneous report killed every possibility of introducing our cereal dishes into Europe by means of corn kitchens. Now we have an op portunity to send corn meal to Belgium in the place of wheat flour, and to use it and other cereal meals on our own tables. Wheat flour bread is well called the etaff of life, but it is not so strong a staff as flour that is less fine. All of the wheaten bread is at once absorbed by the system but rye, brown, Gra- I CJSCMfIS FOR COSIIVf BOWELS. SOUR STOMACH.

This gives pleasant variety i to our daily food and keeps the broad ! bill within bounds at times. If you are sending help to sufferers abroad I why not make your contribution a sack lof corn meal in place of wheat flour | and thus increase Europe's knowledge Jof our good food stuffs? QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS j "Is there any way to remove match ! marks from painted casingst—Thank ful." Reply.—These unsightly marks may | be removed by scrubbing with soap and | water and a soft brush. You can pro vent them by rubbing a little vaseline ion surface. You can "strike" match heads there all day, then, and never iget a "light." • • • | "I have eaten ray first chocolate nop loom hall and want some more. Will ! you please tell me how to make these | goodies!—Mayine." j Reply.—Pop corn as usual, and make ! a syrup of cane sugar and a little water; when it strings from spoon it is j boiled enough. Add grated chocolate |to this syrup, but first dissolve the chocolate with gentle heat or it will I not mix with syrup. Po not stir the syrup or it will granulate over the corn. It will anyhow, in all probabil ity, but this will not affect the taste. HABRlgmiftft KTA T?-T.N DEPENDENT, FRIDAY EVENING. FEBRUARY 26, 1915.

"Don't worry ; "I Want You to Tell Me Some Stories." about me, Mr. Warrington. I have gone my way alone since I was six-1 teen. I have traveled all over this wicked world with nobody but the woman who was once my nurse. Now, tell me something of your adventures. Ten years in this land must mean something. I am always hunting for Harun-al-Raschid, or Sindbad, or some one who has done something out of the ordinary." He Inclined against the rail and stared down at the muddy water. "Ad-! venture?" He frowned a little "I'm afraid mine wouldn't read like adven-! tures. There's no glory in being a I stevedore on the docks at Hongkong, a ! j stoker on a tramp steamer between Singapore and the Andaman islands. : What haven't I been in these ten j years?" with a shrug. "Can you fancy | j me a deck-steward on a P. & O. boat j j tucking old ladies In their chairs, stag- i | gering about with a tray of broth- j i bowls, helping the unsteady to their staterooms, ai touching my cap at ! the end of the voyage for a few shill-j ings In tips?" "Tell me more." He looked into her beautiful face, animated by genuine Interest, and j wondered If all men wore willing to obey her. "It always interests me to hear from the man's own lips how he overcame i obstacles." "Sometimes I didn't overcome them. \ I ran away. After all, the strike In oil was a fluke." "I don't think so. But go on," she ! prompted. "Well, I have been manager of a cocoanut plantation in Penang; I've | helped lay tracks in Upper India; had ; a hand In some bridges; sold patent medicines; worked In a ruby mine; been a haberdasher in the Whlteaway, , Laidlaw shop in Bombay; cut wood in j the teak forests; helped exterminate ! the plague at Chltor and Udaipur; and ' never saved a penny. I never had an ! adventure in all my life." "Why. your wanderings were ad- i ventures," she Insisted. "Think of tne i things you could tell!" "And never will," a smile breaking over his face. > How like Arthur's that smile was! ! thought the girl. "Romantic persons never have any adventures. It is to the prosaic these things fall. Because of their nearness you lose their values." "There is some difference between romance and adventure. Romance is what you look forward to; adventure Is something you look back upon. But I always supposed adventure was tha finding of treasures, on land and on sea; of filibustering; of fighting with sabers and pistols, and all that rigma role. I can't quite lift my Imagination 1 up to the height of calling my six months' shovel-engineering on the Galle an adventure. It was brutal hard work; and many times I wanted to Jump over. The Lascars often got out of trouble that way." "It all depends upon how we look at things." She touched the parrot cage with her foot, and Rajah hissed. "What i would you say if I told you that I was ! unconventional enough to ask the pur- i ser to introduce you?" The amazement in his face was an swer enough. "Don't you suppose," she went on. "the picture you presented, standing on that ledge, the red light of the torch on your face, the bird cage in your hand —don't you suppose you roused my sense of the romantic to the highest pitch? Parrot ft Co.!" with a wave of her hands. She was laughing at him. It could not be otherwise. It made him at once sad and angry. "Romance! I hate the word. I again affirm that young women should not travel alone. They think every bit of tinsel is gold, every bit of colored glass, ruby. Ro mance, adventure! Bah! So much twaddle has been written about the East that cads and scoundrels are mis taken for Galahads and D'Artagnans. Few men remain in this country who can with honor leave it Who knows what manner of man I am?" He picked up the parrot cage and Strode away. "Jah, Jah!" began the bird. Not all the diplomacy which worldly* I wise men nave at tneir aisposai couia 5 have drawn thla girl's Interest more r surely than the abrupt, rude mannei ; of his departure. CHAPTER IV. Two Days of Paradise. At first Elsa did not know whethet she was annoyed or amused. The man's action was absurd, or would have been In any other man. His ad vice to her to go home was downright Impudence; and yet the eight of the parrot cage dangling at his side made | it impossible for her to take lasting offense. Once upon a time there had been a little boy who played In hei garden. When he was cross he woulo i take his playthings and go home. The boy might easily have been this mar Warrington, grown up. Of course he would come and apolo gi*e to her for his rudeness. Perhapf he had resented her curiosity; perhaps her questions had been pressed toe 1 hard; and perhaps he had suddenly , doubted her genuine Interest. At an} j rate it >vas a novel experience. Anc that bewildering likeness! ; She returned to her chair and opened the book again. And as she read hei wonder grew. The diction was ex qulsite; there was style; but now at , she read there was lacking the one i thing that stood for life-blood. It die not pulsate In the veins of these people. Until now she had not recog ( nized this fact, and she was nalf-waj : through the book. What had happened to her since yesterday? To what cause j might be assigned this opposite angle I of vision, so clearly defined? The book fell upon her knees and I dreamily she watched the perspective I open and divaricate The low bankt with their golden haze of dust, the cloudless sky, the sad and lonely white pagodas, charmed her; and the lan , guor of the East crept stealthily intc her northern blood. She was not con j scions of the subtle change; she only I knew that the world of yesterday waf j unlike that of today. Warrington, after depositing Rajal: | in tne stateroom, sought the bench or the stern deck. He filled his cuttj | with purser-loaned tobacco and roundl} damned himself as a blockhead. He I had forgotten all the niceties of clvi llzation; he no longer knew how to be 1 have. The first young woman in al' ! these years who had treated him as ar equal, and he had straightway proceed J ed to lecture her upon the evils o) | traveling alone in the Orient! And yet he had told her the truth ; It was not right that a young and at tractive woman should wander about I in the East, unattended save by a middle-aged companion. It would pro j voke the devil in men who were nol j wholly bad. Women had the fallible j idea that they could read human na ! ture, and never found out their mis , take until after they were married | He knew her kind. If she wanted tc | walk through the bazaars in the eve | ning she would do so. If a man fol ! lowed her she would ignore the fact If he caught up with her and spoke she would continue on as if she had nol heard. If a man touched her she would rely upon the fire of her eyes. She | would never call out for help. Some | women were just that silly, j He bit hard upon the stem of his • pipe. What was all this to him? Why i should be bother his uead about 8 ' woman he had known but a few hours" | Ah, why lie to himself? He knew what !

And be was something like the pariah dog; spoken kindly to. It attached itself Im mediately and endurlngly. He struck the cutty against his boot heel. Why not? It would be only for two days. At Rangoon their paths would separate; he would never see her again. He got up. He would go to her at once and apologize. And thus he surrendered to the very devil he had but a moment gone so vlgoi* ously discountenanced. He found her asleep in her chair. The devil which had brought him to her side was thrust back. Why, she was nothing more than a beautiful child! A great yearning to brother her came Into his heart He did not l disturb her, but waited until five, that grave and sober hour, when kings and clerks stop work for no logical reason whatever—tea. She opened her eyes and saw him watching her. He rose j quickly. "I was very rude a little while ago. j Will you accept my apologies?" "On condition that you will never take your playthings and go home." He laughed engagingly. "You've hit it squarely. It was the act of a petu lant child."

BANE, SAYS TAFT Bees Dangers From Extravagance of Politicians Cincinnati, Keb. 26.—Ejt-Presidenf Taft in an address to the Business Men's Cluib said tfhat the great bane of American political methods, one of the dangers to the country, is the over whelming mass of ill digested laws. He said that Legislatures seemed to be more interested in the passage of legis lation than in its results, its vote get ting, molasses and fly catching qualities than in its usefulness. Prof. Taft asserted that the watch ful extravagance t the alarming ami constantly increasing expense of the government was a real danger. Poli ticians, he said, assumed that there would always be government funds at hand, "even if they havo to leavv a war tax.''

The eale of distilled liquor stamps for the dlay reached a total of $16,588, and for fermented liquors, $17,458.

Copenhagen, it might be mentioned, was the grandson at the mighty Eclipse, and Wellington paid 400 pounds for him. His powers of endurance were marvelous.
