HOUSEHOLD TALKS Henrietta D. Grauel Biscuit Making Secrets Flour, baking powder, salt, shorten ing and milk or water are the five sim ple ingredients needed to make that pride of the American table, light, ten der biscuits. How is it then that so often they come from the oven too dry, too short, too everything they should not be? We will not go into particulars about that but consider how to have our biscuits uniform every day. First assemble the ingredients in the exact proportions. Measure every- j thing. This becomes a habit after a while just as it is a habit to cook or -1 bake without measuring. Each cup of Hour should be allowed j one level teaspoon of baking powder j and one-half a teaspoon of salt. The h flour must be measured before it is sifted and the baking powder and salt must be sifted with the flour, To each two cups ol' flour allow one tablespoon of butter or lard or of a shortening compound and a half a cup or more of liquid. Water and lard \ makes a whiter biscuit than milk and butter but not so rich or so nutritious, if the shortening and liquid is added very cold the crust on the biscuit will be crisp but if the milk is heated until j just warm enough to melt the shorten ing the crust will be very tender and soft. Your own preference must de- , cide which method you will follow. Sift the dry ingredients into a bowl and add the shortening and the liquid. The mixture should be quite moist. Flour the pastry board and pat or i ill the dough to about one inch in thick ness. tut out the biscuit and place in 1 hot greased baking tins. Bake twelve i minutes. Some ovens will tiajie biscuit in seven minutes hut the size of the j biscuits has something to do with the ) time needed.

COUNTESS OF GRANARD Friends of Lord and Lady Granard are congratulating them upon the birth of their first son, whose courtesy title will be Viscount Forbes Henry Morton. The boy was born in Castle Forbes, county Longford, Ireland. TheConntess, who was Miss Beatrice Mills, daughter of Mr. Odgen Mills, of New York, is the mother of two other children, both girls. Mother and child are reported to he doing well. The Earl of is one of the most prominent noblemen iu Great Britain and is a close frfiyvj of King George, being Master of the Horse to the King. Soon after the oupreak of the war the Karl of Granard was ap pointed to the command of the I'ifth battalion of the Itoyal Irish Itegiuient which is regarded as a big honor. j DOEHNE BEER Unrivaled for Purity and Flavor / 1 % \ A builder of A Tonic strength for businessmen and and flesh overworked persons Produced by the Master Brewer DOEHNE BREWERY Bell Bii<i L Order It Independent 318 -O Nothing equals "California Syrup of Figs" for children's ills. Give a tea spoonful and in just a few hours all the foul waste, sour bile and fermenting food, clogged in the bowels, passes out of the system and you have a well and playful child again. All children love this harmless fruit laxative and it never tails to effect a good "inside" cleansing. Directions for babies, children of all ages and grown-ups are plainly on each bottle. Mother, keep it handy in your home. A little given to-day sick child to-morrow, but get the genuine. Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bottle of "California Svrup of Figs." Then look and see that it is made by the "Cali fornia Fig Svrup Company." We make no cheaper size. Don't be fooled. —Adv. The secrets of biscuit making lie in using the best baking powder and in get ting the mixture into a hot oven as soon as possible after the baking pow der has been moistened. Baking powder bread is made Aver the above proportions and baked in loaf tins. It is very good hot or colt but must always be sliced with a hot knife. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Question. —"Can you give directions for making egglenioiiiftle and is it harmful? Emma W." Reply.—Beat the eggs thoroughly and add the lemon juice slowly, stirring all the time. A chemical action then takes place that makes the egg as limpid as milk and easy to digest. Add milk or water and sweeteu or not, as you prefer. This is very wholesome. » * *' Question. —"Please tell me if an oven thermometer would help me in my en deavors to bake. Everything I put in my oven bakes too quickly on the top aud sides and remains raw in bottom. Perhaps it is the fault of the gas. Where are oven thermometers pur chased? Westerner." Reply.—Experiences with oven ther mometers seem to vary. If they are at tached to ovens when purchased they give excellent results, but will not some of the readers of this department give their experience with the separate, at tachable thermometers.' They should be easily secured through any hardware store. As to the oven baking unevenly, we think this is caused by worn oven lining. You had best consult your gas (company; they will make no charge for regulating the flow.

He drew the curtains of the litter and now walked beside it, his lega feeling like cotton and his heart beat ing. As they came up toward the en campment, two people rode out to meet them, two women in white riding habits, on stallions, and as the evening breeze fluttered the veils from their helmets, they seemed, to be flags of welcome. Under his helmet Tremont was red and burned. He nad a snort, rougn growth of beard. Therese de la Maine and Julia Red mond rode up. Tremont recognized them, and came forward, half stagger ing. He looked at Julia and smiled, and pointed with his left hand toward I the litter; but he went directly up to Madame de la Maine, who sat immoy- ! able on her little stallion. Tremont , seemed to gather her In his arms. He . lifted her down to him. Julia Redmond's eyes were on the litter, whose curtains were stirring in | the breeze. Hammet Abou, with a profound salaam, came forward to her. , "Mademoiselle," he said, respect fully, "he lives. 1 have kept my word." | Pitchoune sprang from the litter and ran over the sands to Julia Redmond. She dismounted from her horse alone : and called him: "Pitchoune! Pit choune!" Kneeling down on the des ert, she stooped to caress him, and * he crouched at her feet, licking her hands. CHAPTER XXV. Aa Handsome Does. When Sabron next opened his eyea he fancied that he was at home In hla o'd room in Rouen, in the house where he was born, in the little room in which, as a child, dressed in his dimity night gown, he had sat up in his bed by candle light to learn his letters from the cookery book. The room was snowy white. Out side the window he heard a bird sing, and near by, he heard a dog's smoth ered bark. Then he knew that he was not at home or a child, for with the languor and weakness came hla memory. A quiet nurse in a hospital dress was sitting by his bed, and Pitchoune rose from the foot of the bed and looked at him adoringly. He was in a hospital in Algiers. "Pitchoune," he murmured, not! knowing the name of his other com panion, "where are we, old fellow?" The nurse replied in an agreeable Anglo-Saxon French: "You are in a French hospital in Al giers, sir, and doing well." Tremont came up to him. "I remember you," Sabron said. "You have been near me a dozen times lately." "You must not talk, mon vieux." "But I feel as though 1 must talk a great deal. Didn't you come for me Into the desert?" Tremont, healthy, vigorous, tanned, gay and cheerful, seemed good look ing to poor Sabron, who gazed up at him with touching gratitude. "I think I remember everything, 1 think 1 shall never forget it," he said, and lifted his hand feebly. Robert de Tremont took it. "Haven't we trav eled far together, Tremont?" "Yes," nodded the other, affected, "but you must sleep now. We will talk about it over our cigars and liquors soon." Sabron smiled faintly. His clear mind was regaining its balance, and thoughts began to sweep over it cru elly fast. He looked at his rescuer, and to him the other's radiance meant simply that he was engaged to Miss Redmond. Of course that was natural. Sabron tried to accept it and to be glad for the happiness of the man who had rescued him. But as he thought this, he wondered why he had been rescued and shut his eyes so that Tremont might not see his weakness. He said hesitatingly: "1 am haunted by a melody, a tune Could you help me? It won't come." "It's not the "Marseillaise?"'asked the other, sitting down by his side and pulling Pitchoune's ears. "Oh, no!" "There will be singing in the ward shortly. A Red Cross nurse comes to sing to the patients. She may help you to remember." Sabron renounced in despair. Haunt ing, tantalizing in his brain and illu sive, the notes began and stopped, be gan and stopped. He wanted to ask his friend a thousand questions. How he had come to him, why he had come to him, how he knew. ... He gave it all up and dozed, and while he slept the sweet sleep of those who are to recover, he heard the sound of a worn an'a voice in the distance, singing, one after another, familiar melodies, and finally he heard the "Kyrie Eleison," : and to its music Sabron again fell asleep. The next day he received a visitor. ! It was not an easy matter to Intro duce visitors to his bedside, for Pit choune objected. Pitchoune received the Marquise d'Esclignac with great displeasure. "Ia he a thoroughbred?" asked the Marquise d'Esclignac. "He has behaved like one," replied i the officer. There was a silence. The Marquise d'Esclignac was wondering what her niece saw in the pale man so near still to the borders of the other world. "You will be leaving the army, ot course," she murmured, looking at him interestedly.. "Mhdame!" said the Capitaine de Sabron, with hia blood—all that was in him —rising to his cheeks. "1 mean that France has done noth ing for you. France did not rescue you and you may feel like seeking a more—another career." Sabron could not reply. Her rib bons and flowers and jewels shook in his eyes like a kaleidoscope. His flush had made him more natural. In his invalid state, with his hair brushed back from his fine brow, there was something spiritual and beautiful about him. The Marquise d'Esclignac looked on a man who had been far and who had determined of his own ac cord to come back. She said more gently, putting her hand affectionately iver hia. "Get strong, monsieur—get well. Eat all the good things we are making for you. I dare say that the army cannot' spare you. It needs brave hearts." Sabron was so agitated after her departure that the nurse said he must receive no more visits for several days, and'he meditated and longed and thought and wondered, and near ly cursed the life that had brought him back to a world which must be lonely for him henceforth. When he sat up In bed he was a shadow. He had a book to read and read a few lines of it, but he put it down as the letters blurred. He was sitting so, dreaming and wondering how true or how false it was that he had seen Julia Redmond come several times to his bedside during the early days of his illness here in the hos pital. Then across his troubled mind suddenly came the words that he had heard her sing, and he tried to recall them. The Red Cross nurse who so charitably sang in the hospital came to the wards and began her mission. One after another she sang familiar songs. "How the poor devils must love it!" Sabron thought, and he blessed her for charity. How familiar was her voice! But that was only because he was so ill. But he began to wonder and to doubt, ' T ' —I MM . ill ! When He Sat Up in Bed He Wat a Shadow. and across the distance came the notes of the the melody of the song that had haunted him for many months: God keep you safe, my love, All through the night; Rest close In his encircling arms Until the light. My heart is with you as I kneel to pray. Good night! God keep you In his care al way. Thick shadows creep like silent ghosts About my head; I lose myself in tender dreams While overhead The moon comes stealing through the window-bars. A silver sickle gleaming 'mid the stars. For I. though I am far away. Feel safe and strong. To trust you thus, dear love—and yet. The night is long. I say with sobbing breath the old fond prayer. Good night! Sweet dreams! God keep you everywhere!" When she had finished singing there were tears on the soldier's cheeks and he was not ashamed. Pltchoune, who remembered the tune as well, \ crept up to him and laid his head on his master's hand. Sabron had just time to wipe away the tears when the Due de Tremont came In.
