PAGE GHOST OF MUNCHAUSEN Prince of Story Toller? Would Be In ^ terested in Thie Wonderful Tele of Adventure. One of (bo tiij? OOeati liners was srv ettfl days out frou? New York 6a a trifc^croHR the Atlantic. It was din* iief time, attd those ut the. table foil t?> to|Hng stories about their experiences at sea. Finally it wa>i the turn of a person who had previously hern boast ing of hi* lineage, Mo told thin "yarn" sayH iln> Youth's Companion. "It happened a number of years ago," said he, "on my fifteenth trip across the oceau, when we ran short of some provisions, particularly milk, fruit and freah meat. We wore verjf fortunate to have on hoard a resourceful fello\v numod Brand, who trailed uh out of fhe difficulty In good shape. First he went to the hatch way for eggs, but, as they were a lit tle too old to oat, tfcey were used for cooking, and he requited the captain to have the ship lay to. This opera- ! tlon was repeated until we had eggs enough to go round. "Then, at. Brand's, suggestion, ll?e captain flrod a ship's rocket Into the Milky Way, and all we had to do was to hold buckets and catch the milk as It poured out of the hole made by the rocket. For a fruit supply we let down buckets over the side of the ship and plrked up enough ocean currants to lost for a week, The next day we had foul' weather, which provld? v * with plenty of ducks and chlcl < rts, Some of these we ate and others we kepi to replenish our egg supply." "I was on that very trip." spoke up a wag at the end of the table. "It wan the steamer Baltic, In October, 1008, New JTork fo Liverpool. We also had on board a fair-sized goose, which was overlooked in some way. I'm suro they, never ate the bird, but I've wondered, all these years until today whatever became of it." VALUABLE ARTICLE OF FOOD Banana Really le Not Appreciated Anything Like ae Much as It /Ought to Be. The banunn Is one of the most use ful of all foods. When the population of the enrth becomes overcrowded, we shall have to eat more bananas and less bread. An acre In wheat will yield 000 pounds of food. An acre In bananas will yield 120,000 pounds. The banana resembles In composi tion the sweet potato. Both contain 1% per cent of protein and 20 per cent carbohydrates. The banana con tains more starch than fruits of the temperate clime. As it. ripens, the starch gradually turns to sugar. The late Edgar Wallace Oonable said that the banana Is the only food which may safely be eaten when It has been picked green. This, he ex plained, Is because the green bananas draw nouflshment out of the great cen tral stem, which gradually shrinks and withers. A banana should never be eaten until the skin Is beginning to turn black. Some claim that they should be entirely black. Ilowever. It Is not necessary to go so far as that. As they turn black the starch turns to sugar. Scrape the white material from beneath the skin before you eat the fruit. TKe Brute. "Where have you been tonight?" she asked bitterly, as he sauntered In about 11 o'clock. ".Was It business again this evening?" He made no reply, but sat down to the cold supper that was on the table. "Aha, the difference In a short time!" she went on. "I have been try ing to solace myself tonight by read ing some of your love letters. Hero H one," holding It up. "that you wrote one month before we were married ; In this you say that you feel as if you could eat me. Oh, the affection, the passionate love expressed in those words! It is one month after mar riage," Hhe continued, beginning to weep pearly tears, and sob like the throb of a steamboat engine, "only one month after marriage, and now ? " "I wish to goodness I had I" mum bled the unfeeling brute, with his mouth full of ham. Novel Bed for Paralytic*. One of the great problems in certain cases of spinal wounds with paralysis la how to move the patient sufficiently to make his bed and tend his wounds without increasing his sufferings by moving* him. The new bed solves the problem. Surrounding the bed just at the edge of the mattress is a rectan gular framework of hollow metal pip ing. Connecting the two parallel sides are broad bands of webbing stretched across the mattress, and on these th# patient lies. The two ahort sides of the framework, the oae a{ the head of the bed and the other at the foot, are connected by a geared wheel with a vertical steel post se that by simply turning a handle at tba bead or foot of the bed the framework, with the patient lying on the webbing, can be lifted off the mattress without his po sition being changed in the least. Cornmeal in Honduras. B?cause of the marked success of recent governments! arid private ef forts to promote the production of more cereals during the period uf Lhe war, writes Consul Walter F. Boyle, Puerto Cortes, an American company has imported and erected the first mill for the milling of cornmeal. This was purchased in the United States urn) has l?een orectcd at San Pedro, Suls. Honduras. It is a small equipment, but ranrkv the beginning of a new Ufr duv'rv. FARMERS MAY USE HOME-GROWN WHEAT Fcod Administration Order Permits the Grinding of Whsat on Liberal Basis, But Continued Use of Wheat Substitutes is Important Require ment. Columbia. ? The thirty duy rule which provided that farmer* could have (round into flour for their owu use no more home grown wheat thau would be required for their families for a period of thirty days, has been suspended by the Pood Administration and regulations governing the grind ing or whea thave been issued. I'nder the uew regulations, farm ers are permitted to draw their year's supply of flour from the mill or in ex* change for tjielr own wheat, but for the present they must draw only for a three months' psrlod, or from the time of grinding to October 1. They cannot draw this from mills in excess of twelve pounds of flour per person per month for use "of their households and tenants, and they should continue In respect to the use of substitutes on the present basis until such time us the general substltnts program for the whole country shall be changed. This mouns simply that farmers who have pown their own wheat are expected to uee wheat substitutes, with wheut flour, the same as. heretofore, on the flftv-flfty b.is is. The mills ot South Carolina are be ing notified by the Food Administra tion of the' new regulations. Mills must not grind for farmers more than enough wheat to supply the farmers and their families and ten ants from the date of grinding to Octo ber 1. The amount ground should be estimated upon the basis of twelve pounds per person per month. t'ntil the new rules in regard to wheat substitutes are enacted, mills must not deliver any flour to farmers unless they sign the pledge card, agreeing to use one pound of flour substitutes tpr every pound of flour used. Bakers, retailers and the general public are not released from the regu? tar program, already announced by this new regulation, which applies only to farmers who hsre grown their own wheat. CONSERVE SUGAR EVEN IN PRESERVING Rich Preserves and Jelliea Should Not Be Attempted ? Sugar for Canning and Pressrvlng la Limited. Columbia. ? Because of the acute ness of the ahortage In sugar, house keepers are urged by the Food Admin istration, as far 'as it ia practical, to preserve fruita this summer In other ways than preserves and Jellies, which require a great deal of sugar. A light syrup allows the flavor of the fruit to predominate and gives a sauce that is both wholesome and palatable. Honey is an excellent sweetening for certain fruits. Housekeepers should not at this time attempt to furnish canned goods for the government, but they can take <jare of the local supply (ft fruits and veget&blee, thus reliev ing the demand upon the commercial stock which may be used by the gov ernment next winter. Although the* situation as regards the supply of sugar Is serious, provision has been made by the Food Administration to supply ample sugar for canning and preserving, provided, of course, that it ia used in reason, for it is regarded as Important that as much as possible of the perishable products be conserv ed. Sugar for canning ahd preserving can be obtained in quantities of 26 pounds per month per person upon the signing of a pledge that the sugar so obtained will be used for that pur pose only. Dealers throughout the state have been furnished with cer tificates. PATRIOTIC PEOPLE EATINQ LITTLE BEEF Public Eating Placea Restricted and Householders are Expected to Reatrlct Themselves. m Columbia. ? Beefsteak has disap peared from the asanas aad bills of fare of hotel I, r/iiiataarnnte and. public eating places throughout Saalk Cam Una. Roast keef baa llkewinw been eliminated. These meato are serri ed onljr 4a*' a week, under order of tba rood Administration. and in man* p*btlc eating places beef la not nerv ed nt nil. Patriotic people tbrnngh ont the aiate are expected by tfte Food Administration to voluntarily restrict themselves In the consume tlpn of beef and to observe the re strictions as rigidly on their home tarj hies an the rule is being enforced la public eating places. The demand for beef for the army and the allied a An tes nnd their civil population for tfcta aPnMtter makes It neceeeary that the people d%o etay at home practically gfre up beef. By-products of beef, snob ae ear-tails, livers, tangoes, iteei br>?t>, hearts, kMneys, bealns and tripe any be served at ear time, an tfce regulations do not apply to these.

The passing of Senator Tillman re- I moVvs from the Senate .one. of its ablest members. Uoing there as a farmer he luji'lc mid was an honor jo his state and cotui U'. .lie gut his wish to die in harness. His health failed him several years ago and he could only do light work, of late years he left tlui men who put him in ollicC in 1SJH) and allied himself largely with those lie so bitterly fought. He-felt the loss of those tried Mends of 1 > is but he b fought it .on himself and had to suffer the separation. He made mistakes but Ids good tpjali tio.s largely overbalanced them, but we who differed from Hi in. have nothing but the kindliest feelings for him ami deep ly regret his going away. So we lay a Kiit'land of evergreens on his mound and say "good-bye." One thing politically the public should understand that the coining election is going to be an honest and fair one to all. The crowd that tries to cheat and take advantage where they could had butter leave the state. Ilascally doings will not be tolerated from no one. The humblest citizen should be as highly re spected in his franchise as the presi dent. That is the platform of our gov ernment. Destroy it and it falls, and it will be like Spnin. Mexico nnd other countries. If the state executive com mittee wishes to call a convention to frame new rules to defeat one of the senatorial candidates which ia their ap parent object they will simply make voten for him. The honest voter stands for fair and square doings or nothing. Jos. E. Ihil'rc.
