Cooking Lima Beansâ€"Ii the lima beans are the least bit wilted, when they are likely to be inter, first cook them for five minutes in boiling salted water, then drain and put into freshly boiling water, and add a small piece of butter when they are half done. Some people consider their flavor im- proved by cooking them with a sprig of mint, which should be reâ€" moved when they are served. They should not be boiled violently. but just. simmered and may be beauti- fully cooked in a chafing dish. III order to be savory they should have about a cup of liquid to a box of beans around them when they are done. Pour this on to a table- spoon each of butter and flour cook- ed together, then cook the beansin this gravy for a few minutes. add- ing some fresh butter at the last minute. There is no vegetable that is more improved by a generous use of butter than the lima bean. Left Over Lima B ions. Mash «the beans, put them through a sieve. and use them for thickening any cream soup.

This is no xception; that captain’s wife has a thousand peers in Ant- werp. It is almost certain that the man or woman you are sitting next to can tell you a story of personal tra- gedy. One morning I addressed four people in the Cafe Metropole. Three of them were direct and dire sufferers. One, a. nobleman. told me. without a. word of Complaint. how his chateau near Liege had been razed by the Belgians to make way for the fire of the heavy guns; how all the horses in his racing stud had been commandeered; how, through his ruined t-enants' inabil- ity to pay any rent for two or three years. his income was gone. He asked me anxiously whether if he put the wreck of his fortunes. namely, the family plate, in a big chest, he would be allowed to take it to England. A second man described with glib tering eyes how his dearest friend. a youth of twenty, had been tied lto a tree by German officers and told he would be shot, First, howâ€" ever. they wanted dinner, and dined around the tree, taunting their victim with offers of cham- pagne. till they had finished their reth Then they shot him. The third man was a refugee from Malâ€" ines who had been separated a week before by the Germans from his wife and two children. “Ah, mon- sieur." he cried, “I would rather be dead with them than not know whether thev are dead or alive or ‘Iwh-ere they are.” jTHE TERRORS ' 0r INDIGESIION Disappear When the Blood is Made, Rich, Red and Pure The mistaken idea that laxatives or drastic purgatives provide a short cut to the cure. of indigestion is largely responsiblefor the pre- valence of dyspepsia and other stomach disorders. Indigestion calls for more than a makeshift. your stomach needs tone; it canâ€" not absorb nourishment from the food you eat. To give new strength to your stomach so that it may per- form the Work of digestion without the blood. This is the tonic method for s:rengtlien-ing weak stomachs. In cases of this kind Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People are the best medicine known. Every dose makes new. rich blood, which not only strengthens the stomach but builds up every part of the body as well. Here is an illustration of what this medicine can do: Mrs. "For three years I was a sufferer from Chronic indigestion. I was hungry all the time. yet could take very little food. and what I d‘idi take was followed by great distress and nausea. My sleep at night. was broken. and I often had profuse night sweats. The suffocating feel- ing which often followed eating would cause my heart to palpitatc \ioleutly. At times my hands and face would become the color of clay; and I would be completely pros- tratigl. I was under the care of a1 go..:l ductor, who finally t-zlrl me the trouble “as incurable and that tlic nth I could hope for was temâ€" porary relief.

William and German Princes ReIIOIIIIce 'l'lIcm. It is rather amusing to note the alncrity with which German prim-t» hugs and German professors have followed the Kaiser's example in renouncing the honors which the people of Great Britain in their goo-d nature and good fellowship have so lavishly bestowed on them. aiser William led the way and S-old his British demrations for the bene- fit of the lierlin Relief Fund. We hope that he got a, good deal of money for “them. because the Berâ€" lin people seem likely to need all the relief they can get. After Louâ€" vain and a few other incidents in Belgium we feel very glad that the Kaiser has divested himself of these honors, for otherwise we might have been under the painful necessity of requesting him not to disgrace Brie tish decorations by retaining them. Now the Duke of Saxe (.‘obnrg and Gotha has intimated his resig- nation of the (.‘olonelcy in Chief of the Scaforth Highlanders on the ground that “it is“ unsuitable for a. German Duke to be chief of a regi~ ment that has shamelessly fallen on Germany." Doubtless the Sea- forths will bear with the loss of the Duke’s patronage as best they can and continue 'to fall shamelessly on the Germans. But it may be re- membered that only some four years ago the Duke visited the Seaforths at Fort George, where be inspected the regiment and conferred a num- ber of German decorations and or- ders on the oflicers and men. The recipients are no doubt too hnsv hammering their foes to bother about these trinkets, but if there are any lying about it might be well to send them on to Berlin also for the benefit of their relief fund.

When Wat Tyler's men of Kent marched over London Bridge and scared the City and Court almost to death. their arms were sickles and billâ€" hooks and scythes, and a few black- smith’s tools. The same remark applies to the arming of the men of Devon and Somerset at the Bat- tle of Sedgemoor. the last real bat- tle fought on English ground. But even in these days of arms of pren cision there have been many cases where these scientific tools have been discarded in favor of some- thing much more primitive. For instance, at the Battle of In- kerman, which was a soldiers’ batâ€" tle, fought in a mist almost. without leadership, many of the English soldiers. finding their fire useless and their bayonets untrustWOrthy and bent, went in with their fists in true British style. Blucjackets have more than once followed this example when a punitive force has been andcd to punish the natives. The tars have gone for them with lists and belaying pills. possibly feeling that anything more deadly would be more than the occasion required. The band has on many 1.!L'Ca>l<IliS joined in the fray. It is reported to have oceurred in the late war in the Balkans. during.r the later fight» ing which took place between the late allies. Bulgarians and Serv- ians.

Nearly All Europe’s Armies Wear Khaki. The war put everybody into‘ khaki. with a, few exceptions. 0n the battle line or in the field the English soldier and the English ofii: car get out of their richly colored. and historic uniforms and into khaki of a neutral hue. The Ger- mans arc in grey. The Austrians have moot of their soldiers in khakip and the Russians all wear khaki-i colored cloth. The French stilt cling to their blue coats and bril- liant red trousers. and the Bel-‘ gians have a uniform that is very similar to the French. The French and Belgian Officers are dangerously ornamented with gilt trimmings during warfare, and present. such brilliant t-argets that some of the Belgian regiments dur- ing the hard fighting with the Gerâ€" mans have lost nearly all of their leaders. The new twentieth century mode of warfare put the ban on anything that glitters. even the rifle barrels, bayonets and sabres. .2. THINK HARD. It Pays to Think About Food.
