Oatmeal Gemsâ€"Take one cupful ‘of cooked oatmeal, one cupful of isweet milk. two teaspoonlfuis of isugar. one beaten egg, one-half tea- Espoonful of soda. and one teaspoon- tful of cream of tartar (or one heap- :ing teaspoonful of baking powder iinstead of the Soda and the cream of itartar), "and just enough flour to illold the mixture together. link? fthe dough in hot gem pans in a quick oven. Savory l‘am-akcs.â€"â€"Add a dust of \‘cayenne pepper and a pinch of salt to a cup of flour and sift. Beat two ‘eggs well. mix with them a cup of sweet milk. and add this mixture gradually to the flour, beating the batter until it is perfectly smooth. Cover the basin with a. cloth and let it stand for an hour ii possible. Just before using stir in one and a half teaspoont‘uls of grated cheese and a quarter of a teaspoon of bak‘ iug po'wder. Cook in the ordinary 'zway. shaking the pan when the unâ€" derside is lightly brown and turnâ€" ing. These are often served rolled- Filict of 'tl'hilcilsll.â€"Skin the fish and rinse in Cold water. Form it. in several long portions of fillet by ‘means of your hands. Cover them ‘ iWitll a little soft butter, salt, pep- per, onion juice. lemon juice or with creamed butter flavored to suit .your taste. Add a few slices of lolive, chives. some capers and a lit- tle parsley. Roll the fish into tight rolls and fasten with skewers, bake in a pan creased with ’butter. Baste with the stock made of the fish bone mixed with a. small amount of egg. and crum. Remove the skewers and serve on a hot platter. Before ,serving add a few oysters. that have [been simmering for a few minutes. to the sauce Ginger l’mlding.â€"â€"One-half pound of brown-bread crumbs, two ounces Iof preserved ginger chopped fine. loneâ€"half teaspoonful of powdered iginger, two large tablespoonfuls of golden syrup. one talblespoonful of brown sugar. some grated lemon ,ipeel, and two eggs, which must; be pvell beaten. Soak the bread crumbs lin boiling milk, to which you have added an ounce of lbutt-er; then mix he crumbs and milk with all the ‘other‘ingredients. Put. the mixture hate a small mould, and steam it V or one hour: it will then turn out ‘easily on a little dish, and should lbe served with the diluted syrup of ,the ginger made hot and poured over it. Spinach Soup.â€"Thoroughly wash ‘the spinach in plenty of water, and. if it has not come directly from the 'garden. put it on a cloth and lay it on ice. Thirty minutes before the lsoup is wanted. wash it again, let pile water drain off lfOI‘ two or three minutes, and put the spinach into la double boiler without any water, :exccpt the little that. clings to it. Leave the double boiler open, for 'sipinach loses its color it it is coverâ€" Ted. After twenty-five minutes of cooking, strain the water from the spinach. and press it hard to re» move all the liquid. Return the j~liquid to the double boiler. add wa- ter if the juice is too strong. salt it ,and reheat it. Add two teaspoon- .‘fuls of olive oil for each dish of soup: stir it in. and serve the soup at once. ['pon each service place a rheaped tablespoonful of whipped cream. The spinach itself. after rtlle soup is made. may be chopped "and reheated with butter, to be served as a vegetable. or, cold, may be served as a. salad with either French dressing and hardeoiled or with mayonnaise. Sour Milk FlapjackS.â€"To two cups of flOnr add one-half teaspoon of salt and one teaspoon of soda. Sift and mix thoroughly, then add two scant- cups of sour milkâ€"â€"if part sour cream they are finerâ€"and beat well. Some people allow this mix- ture. minus the soda. to stand over night. adding the soda. with the two eggs in the morning. Separate the two pggs. ibeat whites and yolks separately. If the batter is mixed just. before it is used, add the beatâ€" en yolks just after the beating which follows the addition of the milk. Lastly. in any case, fold in the whites beaten stiff. Slowly heat the frying pan until just short of a. heat. that will burn the cakes, grease well, turn on batter, and when the cake is full of bubbles and before they break shake it loose from the pan, toss and bake on the other side. This tossingr need not be a, lost-«art. It is easy. Keep your mind on getting the pan'under the cake as it. comes down. Half corn- meal or half pint of berries rolled in flour used to be cooked in this bat- ter and dates cut in small pieces and well floured may be used toâ€" day to make this cake more whohL some. The batter, with or without the addition of a. little melted but- ter. makes a good little muffin. When sour milk is used the eggs are sometimes omitted entirely from these cakes. Household Hints. A flannel dipped in turpentine will clean a porcelain tub excellentâ€" ly. ' Excellent bibs for babies are made of small Turkish towels cut in bWu. The newâ€"laid egg is one of na- ture's greatest gifts to the sick room. To wash colored silks, use cold water and a moderate amount of soap. The more fresh foods there are on a table the better for the fam- ily's healtlh. ,' At a pinch common w’hite blank- ets can be cut up and used for baby blankets. . Put a. thimlble on the curtain rod when slipping it through the hem of the curtain. The tops of pale-colored evening gloves make very dainty shoes for tiny babies. ’ Chamois mittens, worn while do- ing housework, are a great saving to the hands. Little bags filled with shot make good little sewing room weights for keeping a pattern in place. Cookies should be put into a cloth-lined stone jair when hot, if you would keep them melting and crumbly. Buttonhorles on heavy linen can be done very satisfactorily with a fine crochet hook and thread. Add the grated rind of an orange and two» talblespoonfuls of the juice to a sponge cake for a change. If you have to pack bottles in a trunk. tie in the corks and wrap them in soft. towels, garments, etc, and place in the middle of the trunk. It is a good plan to tell the cook to save every bit of leftâ€"over food. Have her put it in the refrigerator, and each morning devote a few minutes to the going over of all foods. and throw away only what you think cannot be used. There is might-y little that cannot the used in 501118 way. 1:! PRIZE, $50.00 in Cash 2nd PRIZE, $40.00 in Cal}: 1 warm. The above picture shows a Torpedo Boat Destrover and an Aeroplane.

It is the surest sign that your blood is weak, 'watery and impure. and that for this reason your nerves are literally starving. Bad blood is the Sole cause of the piercing pains of neuralgiaâ€"good rich blood is the only cure. In this you have the reason why Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure neuralgia.

This rich blood reaches the root of the trouble. soothes the jangled nerves, drives away the nagging. stabbing pain and braces. up your health in other ways as well. Here is proofâ€"Mr. ('. J. Lee.

British Navy. The great naval victory of Sun- day, January 24, when one of Ger- many’s finest battleships, the Blu- chcr, was sunk, and two other bat:- tle-cruisors damaged, was due not only to the superior guns. but also to the superior marksmanship of the British gunners. ' When the war broke out, and for some considerable time before, heavy gun shooting was the sport par excellence of the navy, both “Gundayers' Test" and Practice" creating an astounding amount of enthusiasm and emulaâ€" tionâ€"and also bettinglâ€"and Sir Percy Scott is the man, above all others, who was responsible for it. Twelve years ago, gunnery was a dead letter. and target practice a nuisance. On February 2nd. 1902, Captain Percy Seott. (LR. deliver~ ed a. lecture at. the linith Service Institution of Hongkong, on “The Fighting Ff‘ficiency of .1 Fleet. which Dependent on the Straight Shoot- ‘ing of the Guns." Out of that lec- ture arose a host of questions from the officers present. and (me was in connection with creating interest and the need of Competition. Cap- tain Scott replied: "You relied onâ€" i Admiral Sir Percy Scott. tirely on competition in the past; in Malta. harbor you never did the weekly sail drill without one or two men being killed in their anxiety to be first ship in the fleetâ€"that same spirit still lives. I only want. to in- troduce it into gunnery; we ought to make use of the national vice, namely “sport,” and to create the same ambit-ion among our officers and men in shooting as existed in sail drill.” Well, he certainly saw his ideal come to fruition before he retired, but it was not without. a considerâ€" able amount of unpl-ea-santness. “Battle .
