The atatue Is a valuable relic, the history of which begins early In the fourteenth century. Tradition says It was at that time discovered by some Turks floatlug about alone in a little boat. i li- .v landed their trophy on the ahore at Trapanl. But when they wished to remove their prize, they uiet with conaiderable opposition on the part of the eitizena of the port. Neither aide producing a golden-tongued ora tor who could .convince his opponeuts, the matter was turned over to fate In the form of two bulloeks, which, by walking away, from the shore when turned loose, designated that the image vaa t# be. the property of Tra pani. In the seven centuries of its stay in the convent of the town It has re ceived a valuable collection of watches^ rlnga, bracelets, and other ornaments which are hung about It, and rest in heaps upon its pedestal. These are the glfta of those whom the Mattouna has aided, High above the adoring crowd she stands, smiling as gently upon the bringer 6f a silver ring as upon the giver of a priceless Jewel. Western Sicily abounds In myths and traditions of the old gods and heroes. It waa here that Virgil's Aeneas If flfiMto IfrtVe stopped towor ahip in honor of his father's memory, and the city he founded became Tra pani. FOOD VALUE OF COCOANUTS . T % __ Both the Meat and the Milk Are Used In Countrlea Where They Are Grown. Among the foods' which are lately beginning to be appreciated la the cocoanut; as It has a remarkably high food value combined with a delicious flavor, it lends itself admirably to a variety of uses for the home table. ? The fresh cocoanut la valued not only for the meat, but also for the milk which Alls the center of the nut. This milk is used ? more particularly In the countries where the cocoanut 'a grown ? to great advantage In soups and sauces. The "cream" of the fresh cocoanut* which may be extracted by grating the cocoanut meat and wash ing In water, can be used as a aubatl* tute for butter, or even olive oil ; In tropical countries this' oil aervea many household purposes. The refined fat has recently heen receiving attention and promlaes to become a generally used cooking fat. Unfortunately, however, the cocoa nut has, in common with other nuts, been looked upon as* being more or less Indigestible. A good authority says that this Is not due to the cocoa nut Itself, but to the unwise use of It. In other words. It should not he looked upon as an adjunct to a meal, but as a part of the menl Itself. It Is the ex cess of food which may cause diges tive disturbances, and. If it Is eaten raw, cocoanut should be thoroughly masticated. ? Rochester Herald. When Is a Man Tired? In mi article about tired business I men in American Magazine, a writer ? says : "When a man says he is tired h? means that he is the victim of fatigue , and that the requirements of the day'i work have exhausted his mental and I physical resources. Is this true? If it 'f were, the victim of this terrific day would go home and fall Into bed. to re I'Ufierale from what he has suffered. But he does not. He does one of two ! things : Either he spends the evening at home romping with the kfds or ; reading or amusing himself with some fad or game ; or he goes out and put* , in anywhere from four to ei^ht hours seeing a show, going to a roof garden, taking an automobile ride, dancing a good many mile* or playing cards. "It turns out that he is not as tired h 8 he thought he was. In fact, to all Intents and purposes, he is not tired at all. If he were he could not show up laughing and with the gleam ol I hearty enjoyment In his eye at the end . of a dance or an automobile ride, or ? whatever it Is that. he has selected at , a means of 'killing time' before he chooses to go to bed. The man who is reslly fatigued has no deelre to dance, does not want N> be bounced around in an automobile, does not care to alt through a play, feels an aver 1 aion to a game of cards. If he is really I fatigued there is only one thing he does want, and that Is rest ? rest and sleep." i ? ? ? .

Last Few Week* of j ??nnlng Should be Busy Wseks. Columbia. ? The canning season will soon be over and, for Hint reason. Uieae last few weeks should be taken advantage of where there is fruit that may be put up for next winter'a use. ('an without sugar wherever poa* slble. the Food Administration ad* ylses, but can by ail means. Sugar used in preserving goes further than In any other form for bodily require ments and the Food Administration has made it possible for home cannera to secuto an extra allotment of sugar for that purpose. Skillful house wives will And little difficulty in tak ing care of their fruit now without it will be more plentiful. Cora syrup may be used sqcceeeful ly in preserves, jams and Jellies by ?sing one-half corn syrup and one-half sugar. In place t*f one cup of sugar, one cup of clear honey or one and two-thirds to two cups may be used. These suggestions are made by tha Food Administration: Prepare fruit and add the sugar. Allow to stand several hours until sufficient Juice to prevent burning is extracted. Then add the syrup and cook as usual, but dp not use any water at all.. It makes a very heavy syrup, which Is usually desired, and does not make any difference in tha flavoTT In making preserves and inarmfe lades, equal weight of corn syrup may be used, making a three fourths syrup, instead of all sugar. One method is to make a blended syrup of the corn nyrup and sugar anfl cook the fruit In it. Another is to add the sugar to the gently slmmerln gfruit, cook gently until It is dissolved, then add corn syrup (equal weight, pound for pound with the sugar) and boil fast.
