Eggs may be cooked in hot water or fried after the bacon in the frying pan, and if cold boiled potatoes are at hand they may be also fried. One can eat and digest fried food in the woods, exercising and tramping, when it would cause serious trouble at other ; times. Red hot coals should be ready for broiling meat. Apples, peanuts, potatoes and corn all take kindly to a roasting. After all Is over, the fire burning up all rubbish, is carefully buried so that no danger of fire will result from the days pleasure.

MMMSM You do not have to Invest In a barometer, or expend your personal moisture by hurrying to the nearest observatory, whether at a drug store or at a weather bureau, to ascertain the degree of humidity. From Power one gets this hint : The instrument in the weather bureau kiosk marked relative humidity is supposed to show the percentage by weight of water vapor in the air, 100 per cent being when the atmosphere can hold no more In the form of steam. The maximum weight of steam that the atmosphere is capable of holding is dependent on and Increases with an increase of the temperature. The ac- tion of this hydrometer depends on the expansion and contraction in length of a hair or fiber as it Increases or decreases In moisture content. Another device for measuring the relative humidity is a combination consisting of two ordinary thermometers, one having the bulb covered with a wet cloth or a wick extending into a vessel of water. In the use of this Inb strument the and the temperatures are taken. If they are the same, the humidity is 100 per cent, but when there Is a difference it is necessary to consult tables in order to obtain the relative humidity. wet-bul- b dry-bul- RED CROSS SAVES SOLDIERS Organization Acts on Theory That Is Better to Heal Wounded Fighter Than to Pension His Family. It Long ago some one remarked that an ounce of taffy is worth a ton of A bunch of violets to 'the living outweighs a $50 funeral wreath for .the dead. Thats the motto of the Bed Cross, says a writer in the Philadelphia Ledger. It is much cheaper to soothe and heal a wounded soldier than to pension his family. Erecting monuments at Gettysburg and Valley Forge is well enough fifty or a hundred years after the events, but a dollar for the stricken soldier equals a hundred dollars in marble over his body. Bed Cross money is an insurance policy. What does it insure against? Philadelphias $3,000,000 will surely preserve scores of lives; So it insures against death itself, which is something an ordinary insurance policy dos not do. Wipe out Philadelphias hospitals and how many more persons will die every year? Doctors tell me the number would be many hundred. Deprive the battle front of hospital facilities and the death rate will jump enormously. So your Bed Cross dollar is out upon a practical errand not a sentimental, sissy journey. It is certain to be invested in the life of a liberty soldier, which Is a good enough Investment for me. epl-taph- y. 10-ce- nt German Money In America. .

' Advices from India indicate that there are 33,040,000 acres under wheat cultivation in that country, compared with 30,143,000 acres last year, or an increase of about 10 per cent. The total yield is estimated at 10,160,000 tons for this year, as against 8,518,000 tons reported at this time for last year, a gain of practically 19 per cent. These figures are based on the final reports on the wheat crop received from local authorities and relate to 98.5 per cent of the total wheat area in India. The figures covering both area and Yield are the highest on record. ' |
