OWNS A PRICELESS MADONNA !
'
Trapanl, a Seaport of Sicily, Possesses
an Old Statue Which Has an
- Interesting History.
Trapanl Ih oqo of S|cltjr*8 chief ?ea*
porta ? a thriving lit Uo town whoKO
wbarrea and Halt works are
rlvaln an scenes of liUHtllnjf ln<}UHtry<
Trapant's fame Ih founded largely
upon 1 1 h ownership of a wonderful
statue of the Madonna. 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."

Vineyards for JapanT

CORN SYRUP MAY BE
USED IN PRESERVING
Corn 8yrup Successfully Used In
I Equal Proportion With Sugar to
[ Save Sugar? 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.

HOW TO MEASURE THE
DAILY SUGAR RATION
Columbia.? Two pound* per month
per person is the sugar ration. Th?
American people are on this honor ra- j
tlon&. Hundreds of thousands are !
conscientiously and patriotically en- |
d^av?orlng to limit their consumption
of sugar to conform with this I'egu- I
lation. It may be difficult for aonio,
however, to apportion the sugar sup
ply so that the ration may not be ex
ceeded. For this reason, and in or
der to provide a sugar schedule for
the househloder. the Food Adminis
tration gives the following guide:
Monthly ration 2 pounds
30 3? days 2 pounds j
Approximate Daily Ration
1 day 1 ounce, or
1 day . . . k . . 2V4 level tablespoons, or
1 day 1 round tablespoon, or
1 day 6 level teaspoons, or j
1 day .6 half lumps
In this measure the average house
hold teaspoon should be used.
Teaspoons per pound.
?6 level teaspoons equal 1 pound
48 rounded teaspoon.* equal one pound |
32 to 40 heaping teaspoon* equal one !
