takes about six pounds of grain and
six pounds of hay to produce one
pound of beef. About five and a half

It isn’t so much people’s Igno-
rance that does the harm as it is
their knowing so many things that
ain’t so.—Artemus Ward.
AMOUNT OF FOOD WE NEED
It is necessary to remind ourselves
quite frequently that the average adult
eats at least one-third
more food than he Is able
to use, digest or assimi-
late. This excess of food
overtaxes the digestive
system and Is thrown off
as waste and stored up
In the liver as excess
fat.
Fletcher, who has
given us so much good
advice about diet, says
that if we masticate our food at least
three times as long as it seems neces-
sary we would eat less, feel more com-
fortable, eliminate a large amount of
illness and look and thii^k better.
Such sane advice costs nothing to
try, but a hundred per cent stick-to-lt-
iveness. Results will begin to be ap-
parent in a few weeks.
Science has worked out for us the
hundred calorie portions of common
foods. For example, one small baked
apple without sugar yields 100 cal-
ories. One-half of a medium-sized
grapefruit, a large banana, three
prunes with a tablespoonful of juice,
two thin slices of bread or one cut
one-half inch thick, all equal 100 cal-
ories.
A calorie is a measure of heat or
energy which, a certain amount of food
produces when burned in the body.
Just as so much gas per cubic foot
produces so much heat or light, so a
definite amount of food gives off so
much heat and energy measured in
calories when it is used or burned in
the body.
An active adult needs at least 3,700
calories per day to cover all the bodily
needs.
It is not necessary that one be a
scientist, a college graduate or a high-
brow to provide the family with a
well-balanced diet and of sufficient
quantity to keep them well.
Magazines are full of helpful ar-
ticles which any thinking housewife
may read, enjoy, use and profit by.
But it is Important that enough stress
be laid upon the proper amount of
food needed for each individual and
that , can be worked out only by care-
ful thought and observation by ehe
person himself or by the mother for
the small child.
He is happy whose circumstances
suit his temper; but he is more ex-
cellent who can suit his temper to
any circumstances.—Hume.
WHAT THE FAMILY WILL LIKE
Meat bills may be reduced by using
the cheaper cuts and cooking them in
such a manner that all
the flavor and juices are
retained.
Pepper Pot.—Take a
knuckle of veal and one
and one-half pound.? of
honeycomb tripe. Cook
the veal with a table-
spoonful of salt, two
large sliced onions, six
allspice, ten peppercorns,
two bay leaves, one table-
spoonful of marjoram, one tablespoon-
ful each of sweet basil and thyme, one
hot red pepper, all tied In a small bag,
the red pepper cut into small pieces.
Simmer for two hours or until the veal
is tender. Remove the veal from the
stock. Cut the tripe which has been
washed in salt water and then in soda
water and cut in julienne strips. Sim-
mer in the stock for one hour. Add
two large potatoes cut into dice and
add egg balls the size of marbles made
by beating an egg and adding flour to
make a dough stiff enough to roll in
the hands. Cook for half an- hour
longer, then thicken with two table-
spoonfuls of fat blended with three
tablespoonfuls of flour. Cook until
well blended and serve hot. The veal
may be chopped, or part of it, and
added to the dish. This will serve ten
portions.
Chocolate Cream Pie.—Line a deep
pie plate with plain paste, wet the
edge and put on a half-inch rim. Prick
with a fork and bake in a hot oven.
Prepare a tilling by mixing five table-
spoonfuls of cornstarch with one-half
cupful of sugar and one-fourth tea-
spoonful of salt. Dilute with one-
fourth cupful of cold milk, add two
cupfuls of scalded milk and cook over
hot water for half an hour, stirring
often. Melt two squares of chocolate,
add four tablespoonftuls of hot water,
stir until smooth and add to the mix-
ture. Remove from the stove, fold in
the whites of two eggs beaten stiff,
flavor with a teaspoonful of vanilla.
While still hot pour into the pie just
as the crust comes from the oven.
Serve cold covered with whipped un-
sweetened cream.
Chiffon Salad.—Take one-half cup-
ful each of dates, figs and pineapple,
three oranges and three-fourths of a
cupful of sugar. Cut the oranges into
halves, remove the pulp and put the
shells on ice. Cut all the fruit into
small pieces, mjr with mayonnaise
dressing and fill each cup with a mSa-
ture of fruit, sugar and dressing. On
top of each place a tablespoonful of
whipped cream. Serve on green
leaves.
Welsh Enthusiasm
Three gentlemen from the heart of
Wales walked into a Manchester place
and asked for three glasses of cider.
After smacking their lips the first one
said: “Look you! That’s the finest
glass of cider I’ve neffer tasted!” The
second remarked: “So did I also!’’ and
the third capped with: “Neither did
I, too ’’’—London Morning Post.
FINE FEATURErOoFl COUNT
A boy or girl may have ever so per-
fect a face, neck and poise, but if even
one little pimple, blotch, bump or red
spot shows, it ruins their -whole ap-
pearance. You know how true this
is, because you just naturally avoid
people whose appearance is not pleas-
ing.
These things are no longer to be en-
dured, however, because thousands of
people are getting rid of the worst and
most stubborn cases of such skin dis-
eases easily and quickly since the in-
troduction in this country of the won-
derful Black and White Ointment. It
seems like magic to eczema, ring-
worm, itch, “breaking out,” etc.
Dealers everywhere are recommend-
ing Black and White Ointment now.
It is economically priced in liberal size
packages. The 50c size contains three
times as much as the liberal 25c size.

“I must get on the telephone—at

tended a dinner and, although she had
a poor appetite on this occasion, she
was pressed to have some food.
“Oh, do!” they said for the tenth
time.
“I couldn’t, she replied. “I couldn’t
possibly eat any more.”
They continued to press her to eat
this dish and that, and at last she
said: “Oh, very well; if I bust, I
bust.”

THE PIRATES
A. D. 1750
There are very few pirates left. The
Riff Moors of Gibraltar , straits with-
in recent years have been known to
grab a wind-bound ship when they
got the chance; the Arabs of the Red
sea have taken stranded steamers;
Chinese practitioners shipped as pas-
sengers, will rise in the night, cut
throats, and steal the vessel; more-
over, some little retail business is done
by the Malays round Singapore, but
trade as a whole is slack.
It was very different in the Seven-
teenth and Eighteenth centuries when
the Sallee rovers, the Algerian cor-
sairs, buccaneers of the West Indies,
the Malays and the'Chinese put pirate
fleets to sea to prey on great com-
merce, when Blackbeard, Captain Kidd,
Bartholomew, Roberts, Lafitte, Avery
and a hundred other corsairs under
the Jolly Roger could seize tall ships
and make their unwilling seamen
walk the plank. They and their merry
men went mostly to the gallows, rich-
ly deserved the same, and yet—well,
nobody need complain that times were
dull.
There were so many pirates one
hardly knows which to deal with, but
Avery was such a mean rogue, and
there Is such a nice confused story
—well, here goes! He was mate of the
ship Duke, forty-four guns, a merchant
cruiser chartered from Bristol, Eng-
land, for the Spanish service. His
skipper was mightily addicted to
punch, and too drunk to object when
Avery, conspiring vv ith the men, made
bold to seize the ship. Then he went
down stairs to wake the captain, who,
in a sudden fright, asked, “What’s the
matter?” “Oh, nothing,” said Avery.
The skipper gobbled at him. “But
something’s the matter,” he cried.
“Does she drive? What weather is it?”
“No, no,” answered Avery, “we’re at
sea.” ’ “At sea! How can that be?”
“Come,” says Avery, “don’t ~be in
a fright, but put on your clothes, and
I’ll let you into the secret—and if
you’ll turn sober and mind your busi-
ness perhaps, in time, I may make
you one of my lieutenants, if not,
here’s a boat alongside, and you shall
be set ashore.” The skipper, still in
a fright, was set ashore, together with
such of the men as were honest. Then
Avery sailed away to seek his fortune.
On the coast of Madagascar^ lying
in a bay, two sloops were found, whose
seamen supposed the Duke to be a
ship of war and being rogues, having
stolen these vessels to go pirating,
they fled with rueful faces into the
woods. Of course they were fright-
fully pleased when they found out
that they were not going to be hanged
Just yet, and delighted when Captain
Avery asked them to sail in his com-
pany. They could fly at big game now,
with this big ship for a consort.
Now, as it happened, the Great Mo-
gul, emperor of Hindustan, was send-
ing his daughter with a splendid ret-
inue to make pilgrimage to Mecca and
worship at the holy places of Mahomet.
The lady sailed in a sliip with chests
of gold to pay the expenses of the
journey, golden vessels for the table,
gifts for the shrines, an escort of
princes covered with jewels, troops,
servants, slaves and a band to play
xtunes with no music, after the eastern
manner. And It was their serious mis-
fortune to meet with Captain Avery
outside the mouth of the Indus. Av-
ery’s sloop, being very swift, got the
prize, and stripped her of everything
worth taking, before they let her go.
It shocked Avery to think of all
that treasure in the slbops where it
might get lost; so presently, as they
‘sailed Ln consort, he invited the cap-
tains of the sloops to use the big ship
as their strong room. They put their
treasure on board the Duke, and
■watched close, for fear of accidents.
Then came a dark night when Captain
Avery mislaid both sloops, and bolted
with all the plunder, leaving two crews
of simple mariners to wonder where
he had gone.
Avery made off to the New England
colonies, where be made a division
of the plunder, handing the gold to
the men, but privily keeping all the
diamonds for himself. The sailors
scattered out through the American
settlements and the British Isles, mod-
estly changing their names. Mr. Avery
went home to Bristol, where he found
sojne honest merchants to sell his dia-
monds, and lend him a small sum on
account. When, however, he called on
them for the rest of the money, he met
with a most shocking repulse, because
the merchants had never heard, they
said, of him or his diamonds, but would
give him to the justices as a pirate
unless he shut his mouth. He went
away and died of grief at Bideford
In Devon, leaving no money even to
pay for his coffin.
Meanwhile the Great Mogul at Del-
hi was making such dismal lamenta-
tions about the robbery of his daugh-
ter’s diamonds that the news of
Avery’s riches spread to England.
Rumor made him husband to the
princess, a reigning sovereign, with a
piraie fleet of his own—at the very
time he was dying of want at Bide-
ford.
We left two sloops full of pirates
mourning over the total depravity of
Captain Avery. Sorely repenting his
sins, they resolved to amend their
lives, and see what they could steal
in Madagascar. Landing on that great
Island they dismantled their sloops,
taking their plentiful supply of guns
and powder ashore, where tiiey
camped, making their sails into tents.
Here they met with another party of
English pirates who were also peni-
tent, having just plundered a large
and richly-laden ship at the mouth of
the Red sea. Their dividend was three
thousand pounds a man, and they were
resolved to settle in Madagascar, in-
stead of going home to be hanged.
The two parties, both hi search of a
peaceful and simple life, made friends
with the various native princes, who
were glad of white men to assist in
the butchering of adjacent tribes. Two
or three pirates at the head of an at-_
tacking force would put the boldest
tribes to flight. Each pirate acquired
his own harem of wives, his own horde
of black slaves, his own plantations,
fishery and hunting grounds, his king-
dom wherein he reigned an absolute
monarch. If a native said Impudent
words he was promptly shot, and any
attack of the tribes on a white man
was resented by the whole community
of pirate kings. Once the negroes
conspired for a general rising to wipe
out their oppressors at one fell swoop,
but the wife of a white man getting
wind of the plot, ran twenty miles
in three hours to alarm her lord. When
the native forces arrived they were
warmly received.- After that each of
their lordships built fortress for his
resting place with rampart and ditch
set round with a labyrinth of thorny
entanglements, so that the barefoot
native coming as a stranger by night,
trod on spikes, and sounded a loud
alarm which roused the garrison.
Long years went by. Their majes-
ties grew stout from high feeding and
lack of exercise, hairy, dressed in
skins of wild beasts, reigning each
in his kingdom with a deal of dirty
state and royalty.
So Captain Woods found them when
he went in the ship Delicia, to buy
slaves. At the sight of his forty-gun
ship they hid themselves in the woods,
very suspicious, but presently learned
his business, and came out of the
woods, offering to sell their loyal ne-
gro subjects by hundreds in exchange
for tobacco and suits of sailor clothes,
tools, powder, and ball. They had
now been twenty-five years in Mada-
gascar, and, what with wars, acci-
dents, sickness, there remained eleven
sailor kings, all heartily bored with
their royalty. Despite the attach-
ments of their harems, children and
swaj-ms of grandchildren and depend-
ents, they were sick for blue water,
hungry for a cruise. Captain Woods
observed that they got very friendly
with his seamen, and learned that
they were plotting to seize the ship,
hoist the black flag, and betake them-
selves once more to piracy on tne
high seas. >
After that he kept their majesties
at a distance, sending officers ashore
to trade with them until he had com-
pleted his cargo of slaves. So he
sailed, leaving eleven disconsolate pi-
rate kings in a mournful row on the
tropic beach, and no more has ever
transpired as to them or the fate of
their kingdoms. Still, they had fared
much better than Captain Avery with
his treasure of royal diamonds.
SCOTTISH ORDER OF THISTLE
One of the Oldest on Earth—Humor-
ous Story is Told Concern-
ing Its Origin.
The Scottish Order of the Thistle,
though ranking in the British empire
second only after the Order of the
Garter, is nevertheless very much
older in date of creation. According
to the Scottish historian, John Lesley,
when Hungus, king of the Picts, was
attacked by Athelstan, king of the
West Saxons, he called to his assist-
ance Achaius, king of the Scots, who
joined him with ten thousand of his
subjects. On the eve of the battle,
the enemy endeavored to surprise
King Achaius and King Hungus by
creeping barefooted across the ap-
proaches to their camp. Thistles
abounded there as elsewhere in Scot-
land, and the enemy, treading on
these thistles with their bare feet, and-
with their naked, legs torn by the
thorns, could not refrain from utter-
ing howls of pain and of dismay, with
the result that the Picts and the Scots
were awaxened in time from their
slumbers, and not only beat back the
enemy, but inflicted upon them a most
signal defeat.
The Order of the Thistle is believed
by all good Scbts to have been found-
ed to commemorate that battle and
that victory over the invader. It is
restricted exclusively to Scottish
peers, and to princes of the reigning
house by virtue of their Stuart an-
cestry.
