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

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."

water; when it strings from spoon it is
j boiled enough. Add grated chocolate

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.

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.

; It was not right that a young and at

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."
TO B£ CONTINUED
He Fought With Mosby
General von Massow, commanding
the Ninth German army corps, in his
younger years was a member of Mos
by's guerrilla band, fle came to this
country in 1863, a young Prussian lieu
tenant of cavalry seeking adventure
and enlisted under Mosby. He was
shot through the lungs in 1864 and
eventually returned home to resume his
army career.

BAD LAWS U. S. 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.''
DRINKING MORE BEER
Philadelphia, Feb. 26.—Beer stamps
for approximately 2,000 barrels more
than the normal output were sold yes
terday at the office of Ephraini Lederer,
collector of internal revenue. The eale
of distilled liquor stamps for the dlay
reached a total of $16,588, and for
fermented liquors, $17,458.
Clerks in the collector's office said
that while the demand for the stamps
was unusually heavy yesterday, their
sale has beon increasing consistently of
late.
A Famous Warhorse
The following inscription marks the

Should pliare the glories of tihat glori

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. "I rode him," said Welling
