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.

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.

'Fremont turnea ana aasnea away a
tear.
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.
"Old fellow, do you feel ut> to see
ing Miss Redmond for a few mo
ments?"

SHE WAS A TRUE WIFE
The Story of a Crisis and the Way It
Was Happily Handled
A woman has just told us of what!
j she did the night her young husband |
found himself bankrupt. His factory I
I was closed, he hail lost all he owned [
| —plus a good deal more—and, as lie
looked at it, life was about at an end.
[ He reflected that he had taken his
wife from a happy and charming home
! and that he had brought disgrace and
I poverty on her. It occurred to him
j that a well-placed bullet might be the
' best /all round solution of his ditli-
I t ulties.
His wife, at home, made a poignant
surmise as to what lie was thinking.
: Suddenly it occurred to her that here
■ was a chance for team work—an oppor
j tunitv to show what being a wife really
meant. She prepared a delicious little
] dinner, she made her home as inviting
■ as sin' could, and she arrayed herselt ;
, in her most becoming dress.
i 'Her husband returned, not to a j
disheveled and sobbing woman, to a j
neglected house and a drama of disas-1
ter, but to a home where everything j
spoke of resolution, of continuity, of;
expectation. The fire 011 his hearth, j
his simple, well-cooked dinner, the 1
courageous eyes of his attractive wife, j
i restored him to a true sense of values, j
| He was able, amid all his confusion of
i purpose and torment of realizatii 1, to |
1 sec his failure as only a retrievable j
episode in his
i lie is now a successful manufactur- j
! cr, his debts are paid and he has a .
1 happy home with a son and a daughter j
!in it. He was saved from being a!
j suicide by the fact that a woman was
sportsmanlike at the right moment. —

Golf in the Old Days
Centuries back golf was a pastime
| uf the royal family, though thou usu
j ally played in Scotland. The Stuart
! family was very fond of the game, and
j the first Knglish clu'j was established
j at Hlackheath in 1608 by James I. His
j elilest son, 'Henry, frequently played
| and on one occasion nearly struck by
accident his tutor wrth a club, where- |
upon he coolly remarked. ''Had 1 done
so I had but paid my debts." Charles
I. was playing golf when he received
tlie news of the Irish rebellion, .lames,
i duke of York, afterward James 11, was
| iwiother ardent ; layer. Golf is frequent
j ly mentioned in ancient Scottish rec
ords and in the fifteenth century' was
prohibited because it interfered with
the practice of archery. Strutt consid
ered it the most ancient game at ball

A Lesson in Politeness
Armed with a subpoena a deputy

1 and extremely snobbish manufacturer,
j whom he met at the gate of the manu
facturer's country home. The great man
j was in an automobile, accompanied by
| two ladies, and as the process server
handed over the papers lie politely
raised his hat. The other assumed a
democratic manner. "You don't need
to take off your hat to me, young man,"

I sir," was the answer, "but to the ladies

Just Like Eve's Apple
A fruit supposed to bear the mark
of Eve's teetli is one of the many
botanical curiosities of Ceylon. The
tree on which it grows is known by
the significant name of "the forbidden
fruit," or "Eve's apple tree." The
blossom has a very pleasant scent, but
the really remarkable feature of the
| tree, the one to which it owes its name,
1 i« the fruit. It is beautiful and hangs
from the tree in a peculiar manner,
(jrange on the outside and deep crimson
within, each fruit has the appearance
of having had a piece bitton out of
it. This fact, together with is poison
ous quality, led the Mohammedans to
represent it as the forbidden fruit of
the gnrden of Eden anil to warn men
against its noxious properties. The
mark upon the fruit is attributed to
Eve.
