Pop Com Confections
That Never Go Begging
Buttered and salted pop corn is de
licious in itself, but for a change
try one of the following recipes for
pop corn confections. The home
economics kitchen of the United
States department of agriculture
stands sponsor for them. Try them
for a winter evening.
Chocolate Pop Com
Two teacups white sugar, one-half
cup of corn syrup, two ounces of
chocolate, one cup of water, or one
and one-half cups corn syrup, one
tablespoon vinegar, one-half teaspoon
of salt, two ounces of chocolate.
Put the ingredients into a kettle
and cook them until the syrup hard
ens when dropped into cold water.
Pour over four quarts of crisp,
freshly popped corn and stir well
to insure the uniform coating of the
kernels.
Sugared Fop Corn
Make a syrup by boiling together
two teacups of granulated sugar and
one teacup of water or two cups of
corn syrup and one tablespoon of
vinegar. Boil until the syrup strings
from the spoon or hardens when
dropped into cold water. Pour over
six quarts of freshly popped corn
and stir well.
Fop Com Balls
One pint of molasses or maple
syrup, one cup of sugar or two cups
of corn syrup, two tablespoons but
ter, one teaspoon vinegar.
Cook till the syrup hardens when
dropped into cold water. Remove to
back of stove and add one-half tea
spoon of soda dissolved in one ta

Sorrows Have Literally
Caused to Cry Eyes Out
"The City of the Blind,” the Ar
menians and Syrians call Aleppo in
Syria, for nowhere else in the Orient
todays is the percentage of blindness
so high. Every sixth person on the
street is affected wit heye disease.
These Armenians and ‘ Syrians, the
oculists say, in the years of terror
and suffering just passed under
Turkish oppression, have literally
"cried their eyes out.”
Trachoma is found in all degrees
of severity among infants a few
months old, and advanced cases
among children from 3 to 6. Such a
condition exists nowhere else, except
in such lands as Egypt and India, and
nowhere there is it so severe as in
Aleppo at present.

OUR HOUSEHOLD
CONDUCTED BY LIZZIE O.THOMAS
Questions Answered
So many have asked about water
glass. This is the month to put up
eggs. May is also a good month to
put them up. The eggs are usually
smaller In hot weather and unless
they are gathered often you may
find blood spots in a very short
time.
Water glass is to be found at the
drug store. Sodium silicate is what
the doctors call it, but the druggist
will understand the term water
glass. It may be as much as 50
cents a gallon, and a gallon will
put up Hfty dozen eggs, so you
see that would be only a cent for
a dozen eggs.
Pure water that has been boiied
and cooled should be used. I think
a quart of water glass added to fif
teen quarts of water would be
enough for two or three families. I
known ten quarts of wafer
uSed to one of water glass, but the
United States bulletin on poultry
says it takes a quart for fifteen or
twenty quarts of water. It is well
to buy a quart of the water glass,
get a stone jar, be sure it has
been thoroughly scalded, do not use
one that has been used for lard,
mix a pint of the water glass and
seven gallons of the cooled water.
Put in the eggs that are clean and
have been laid that day. Do not put
in a cracked egg nor one you must
wash. .
Let them be at least two inches
under the liquid. A good plan is to
have two, three or four-gallon jars;
have just the solution in one and
every day as you add the eggs to
the other one pour in enough of the
mixed liquid out of the other jar
to make the top layer of eggs two
inches under the solution. When you
get one jar filled, set it in a cool
place, tie a paper over it, and watch
it, for you know water evaporates,
and when you see it Is not as full
as it needs to be, add more out of
the jar that you have the mixture
of water and water glass in.
These eggs will keep until Christ
mas and be nice unless you are care
less in handling them before they
are put in there.
When you need them they can
be used just the ways you would
use eggs right out of the nest, ex
cept that when you want to cook
one in its shell you must pierce the
shell with a pin or the heat will
make the shell burst.
As to nux vomica, the difference
In feeding frying- sized and baby
chicks with a pint of meal and the
teaspoonful of the powder is just the
difference in their crops. They must
make a meal off of it, and if they
can be fed just before time for the
hawk to nab one, it is a good plan
to cull one’s flock every year. To
do that, one must study the stand
ard of perfection for one’s special
breed, and do not keep the sort that
does not measure up to it.
Go to the poultry shows and look
over the specimens of the breed one
has and see if you cannot tell the
winners and why some fail. Take
a good poultry magazine. I take
three. Then every year or so get a
specially good setting of eggs. I
have some under two hens that came
from a Madison Square Garden
prize winner. I’ve heard people say
ed,” and I’ve known people too short
ed,” and I’ve know people too short
sighted to see that one must spend
money to have anything worth while.
Many chickens need special atten
tion to keep them free from lice. The
poor little things have their vitality
drained out. of them by lice and
mites. They need a cool shady place,
plenty of water, clean, fresh water to
drink and freedom from vermin. I
expect to raise my choicest in May.
Push them, by giving them butter
milk in clean vessels, chick feed or
cold bread and a nice place for bdgs
and grasshoppers and see them
grow.
Next month begin to put a little
Epsom salts in their drinking wa
ter once a day. Not more than a
heaping tablespoonful to a gallon of
water.
Questions
Dear Mrs. Thomas: It has been
several months since I wrote to Our

I am coming now to ask for some
advice on chickens I have tried to
save every word you have written

to kep the letter about giving small
chickens nux vomica for hawks, ex
cept the one in which you said give
a teaspoonful of powdered nux vomi
ca in a pint of meal made into a
crumbly dough.
Will you please explain through
our column how much and how often

I have Barred Plymouth Rocks
this year. I have a few pure ones
and saved eggs from those to set.
I would like for Mrs. Thomas,
also the sisters, to write some let
ters telling how to keep up one’s
breed of chickens, after you have
gotten a pure breed, to keep them
true to color, form. etc. I’, have be
come dissatisfied with mixed chic -
ens and am trying to breed up a

We have had lots of rain, some

spring that our garden is very late.
Thanking all who may advise me
along the lines of chicken-raising, I
am, very sincerely,
I HANNAH.
Dear Mrs. Thomas: Please write
and tell me through The Tri-Weekly
Journal how to raise chickens hatch
ed the latter part of April and in
May. I want to raise as many chick
ens as I can this year. My friends
advised me not to try to raise May
chickens and I want to know why
they can not be raised as easy as
those raised early. They always
seem to be sleepy and have no appe
tite. Thanking you in advance for
any information, am, yours truly,
MRS. J. S. S.
Prentiss, Miss.
Dear Mrs. Thomas: I enjoy read
ing your letters in Tri-Weekly Jour
nal, the chicken letters especially, as
I’m trying to raise chickens this
year for market. I also want to ask
this in regard to keeping eggs in
water glass. What is the full de
tails of this method? Will fertile
eggs keep? Should the water be
boiled before mixing the formula?
All information on this subject will
be appreciated. Please answer
through Journal. A reader.

A Busy Farmer’s Wife
Dear Household: I have been a si
lent reader for a long time. But as
spring has come I thought I would
drop in for a chat. I am busy all
the time, and happy? Yes, I try to
be happy for my dear John’s sake,
though how often I think of the
ones that have gone from mother
dear. I try to make sunshine for
all I meet. I had the pleasure of
meeting the lady who wrote an arti
cle on putting up vegetables some
time ago. I wish every reader of
The Journal could meet this lady
and get her views in different things.
She is a noble woman. I know you
all remember Mrs. Bessie Russell’s
letter. But now I want to tell you
about my flowers, garden and chick
ens. I have my garden started. I
am now fixing to plant beans, to
matoes and squash. I always select
a garden spot facing the south, so
as to get the warm sunshine. I have
my land thoroughly broke and har
rowed before the seeds are planted,
then I cultivate often and shallow.
My flowers are all starting to bloom
and I will soon have a mass of roses
and other pretty flowers.
And I know I have the prettiest lit
tle chicks, just 100. I had fine luck
hatching and have only lost two,
which the old cat took. I have fine
luck with my little chickens and I
will give you my plans: I always
select good eggs from healthy stock,
this I think is the first step In hav
ing healthy chickens, and keep young
chickens from the older ones, or they
will be trampled to death; feed care
fully, keep everything clean, work
and work hard, and the reward is
yours.
Hoping my letter will escape the
basket. Love to Mrs. Thomas.

T. N. T. as an Industrial
Explosive Used on Farm
Wtih the cessation of hostilities
the government found itself in pos
session of a large supply of the high
explosive known as “TNT,” which
has been deemed unsafe for storage
against a possible future emergency.
With the object of making possible
the use of this surplus explosive for
industrial purposes the United States
department of agriculture reports re
sults of investigations made by the
bureau of mines and the College of
Agriculture of Wisconsin.
Brifly stated, these investigations
show:
That TNT can be safely cartridges
and handled for land clearing, and
that its desirability will depend on
the cost to the user.
Complete detonation was best se
cured by use of the No. 8 exploder,
No. 6 being the size usually recom
mended for dynamite applied to like
conditions.
Moisture encountered in ordinary
land-leaning operations does not af
fect this explosive: neither do ordi
nary variations of temperature.
That the health of the workers is
not affected by the explosive gases
when the work is not confined to a
limited space.
That the amount of TNT required
is about 75 per cent of the amount
of “20 per cent ammonia dynamite."
On account of the smaller quanti
ties used definite regulation of
charges should be made. There may
be considerable danger if the proper
charges are much incretased.
It seems likely that the surplus
of high explosive manufactured to
fill bombs and she Ils for the army
in Francs may be put to a valuable
peace-time use. It is not contem
plated that TNT will be manufac
tured expressly for industrial use
and the recommendations cover only
the unused explosive left from the
military supplies during the recent
war.
During the first sixteen days in
January, 1920, mor than $14,000,000
worth of domestic spiritous liquors
were exported from the United
States.
SABBATH SCHOOL
LESSON
For April 25—Ruth
BY DB. MARION M’H. HULL
Golden Text: "Thy people shall be my
people, and thy God my God.”
It is most refreshing to read Ruth after
the conflicts of Joshua and Judges, for it
takes us away from tlie battlefields to the
home, and turns our thoughts from hate to
love. All the world always did and always
will love a lover, and Boaz and Ruth are
no exceptions.
The Book of Ruth is an idyl, a homely bit
of literature that takes us out-of-doors and
into the home. It is about the friendship
of two women, about the simple things of
hard times, and marriage and death, aud
transfer of property, and harvesting, and
feasting; the little tilings of every day peo
ple and every day life, and yet the things
that make life what it is. And the climax
of the whole story is the birth of a baby,
"Grandfather Obed,” as someone has called
him. If you haven't done so already stop
right here and read it through a time or
two. It won’t take many minutes—charm
ing, isn’t it?
The Journeys
Away up in the mountains of Judah, and
just south of Jerusalem, was the little town
of Bethlehem. It had formerly been called
Ephrath; but the men of Judah had changed
its name to Bethlehem —the house of bread.
Here resided a family in whose veins ran
royal blood, for they were descendents of
Pharez, the oldest surviving son of Judah,
and hence his heir. (Read the story of Pha
re and his twin brother). The family con
sisted of Elimeleck and his wife Naomi, and
their two sons, Mahlon and Chilion. There
had been a famine in the land, and they had
stood it as long as they could; then they
had left their home for a temporary resi
dence in Moab, across the Dead sea; for it
was a well watered country, and there they
could find pasturage for their flocks and
sustenance for themselves.
It was no doubt a sore trial for them to
leave home and friends and all that was
dear to them. They realized in some meas
ure the risk they were taking in going
amongst an alin people; but they’ thought
it the best step to take under the circum
stances, particularly as it was to be only’
for a time. But they didn’t realize that
boys will fall iu love with the girls with
whom they are thrown, and they began to
appreciate the risk when Mahlon fell in love
with that beautiful curly-headed, auburn
haired daughter of Moab. Ruth was an
heathen girl, but that made no difference
to Mahlon. And when Chilion followed suit,
they took it greatly to heart.
But going to Moab didn’t bring the peace
this couple wanted. Life seemed to be a
succession of sorrow’s. They were just get
ting over the discomfort of being aliens
and having their sons marry heathen girls,
when Elimeleck fell sick and died; and ete
long Mahlon and Chilion died also. It must
have been some epidemic. Naomi’s eup was
full. Her trials had aged her greatly. She
was an old wrinkled, w’idowed woman; deso
late, discouraged, destitute. The pull of
home on her heart grew’ very strong: she
longed for her old associations; so when she
heard that there was corn again in the land,
she decided to go back.
The Parting of the Ways
Ruth and Orpah accompanied her to the
border of Moab. They had grown very
fond of their mother-in-law; for while
Naomi and Elimeleck had left their home,
they had not left their religion there. To
see the vile practices of the worshippers
of Chemosh must have disgusted them so
that they could not but compare it with
the worship of Jehovah. Ruth and Orpah
had heard of their God, and had seen Him
in their lives. There was something about
them that w’as different —an indefinable
something that comes only from a heart
that know's God. These heathen girls saw
the difference and learned to love the wom
an w'ho possessed them. Their hearts beat
with her’s, too, now because of theirzcom
tnon sorrow’.
What their intentions were when they
set out is not known. When they’ came
to the border of the country they were at
the parting of the ways. Naomi urged them
to go back to their homes. Was Naomi
right? Well, let us see. She realized that
they were young and attractive young wid
ows, penniless, and alone. There W’as no
place in the economy of that day for a
widow; they would be subjected to all
kinds Os indignities. Naomi lovtfd them too
much for this, and urged them to go back
and marry, finding protection each in the
house of her new husband. It was also
considered a disgrace to be childless. Naomi
further realized that in her own country
they would be looked at askance, because
they w’ere not Israelites; and she wanted
to spare them the suffering that she had
endured as a stranger in a strange land.
Orpah saw the advantages, pointed out
by Naomi, of going back to her people. So
she kissed Naomi and wept and went back.
We never hear of Orpah again, but I cannot
but think she was a different woman al
ways as a result of her life witli Naomi.
True she went back to her people and to
Chemosh, but she could not have entered
again in to the practices of such a religion.
Ruth clave to Naomi though. She had
learned to love very dearly this old wrin
kled, widowed woman; she saw in her that
light that never shone on land or sea. She
had learned to knoyv Naomi’s God, and she
would make any sacrifice rather than lose
Him. Her plea to remain with her was a
protest against the idolatrous worship of
her otvn people, a confession of her faith
in tlie God of Elimeleck and Naomi and
Mahlon, and a desire to follow Him even
at the cost of everything that had been
dear to her formerly. Her plea to Naomi
is a classic. Read it again. There are
seven steps in it; it is complete. Ruth had
counted the costs, and decided it would
cost her more to go back than to stay. Her
choice yvas complete, her decision irrevo
cable, her surrender absolute. It was Na
omi’s God that drew her witli an irreslst
able attraction. She loved Him more than
all else combined. To be with Naomi in
Naomi’s land, and among Naomi’s people
was to Ruth to be with Naomi’s God, and
her choice of Him was final. Naomi saw
tills and said no more. Not that Naomi
was a type of the devil, but in passing
let us say that when tlie devil sees that
we are “steadfastly minded” he will leave
off speaking too. "Resist the devil and he
will flee from you.”
A Living and a Life
Their entrance into Bethlehem created
quite a stir. Naomi had changed so, the
people of the city scarcely recognized her.
It is probable they were greatly pleased
at the change; for human nature secretly
rejoices in another’s misfortune, particu
larly if that one has apparently done the
thing you can condemn. It was but an
other sorrow added to the already bitter
cup Naomi was drinking. It was no easy
thing for Naomi to endure, and particularly
as the heathen girl with her was—to them
—the badge of her shame, the evidence to
them of how her boy had gone away from
his religion! But Naomi and Ruth took up
their residence in their old family home,
now badly in need of repair after the
years of unoccupancy.
It was harvest time, and as they had noth
ing to sustain them, Ruth went out to make
a living for the two. All she could do was
to pick up the scraps of grain that fell
after the reapers. The possibilities were
very small, but it might keep soul and body
together. It happened—does anything just
happen?—that she started in a field belong
ing to Boaz, a rich kinsman of Elimelech’s,
probably his nephew. Tlie cordial relation
ship existing between Boaz and his men, the
business ability, the honor and purity of
life he displayed, and his deep religious life
make Boaz one of the finest characters in
the Bible. He was not without an eye for
tlie beautiful, either, for he noticed Ruth at
once. It is charming how the writer tells
of the little attentions he showed her that
reveal his kindness of heart—and beginning
devotion. It is also interesting to see how
Ruth was constantly thoughtful of the older
woman at home; for did she not slip some
of the best things from the table into her
napkin to carry home to Naomi, beside tlie
splendid day’s wages? So generous was
Boaz that Naomi asked Ruth in surprise,
"Where has thou gleaned today? And
where did you work?”
Day by day this continued, Boaz becoming
more interested in this young widow, and
Ruth more and more satisfied with the
choice she had made making a living for
them both and a life for herself in doing
the will'of her God. And now the harvest
ing is over: the threshing is nearly over;
the grain is to be measured and stored,
and Ruth is still without the protection of
a husband. She seems to be satisfied, but
Naomi isn’t. She knows that by law tlie
nearest of kin—Boaz as she thinks—should
redeem the Inheritance of Elimelech, lest
the family name become extinct. She
makes a bold move, one that is fraught with
danger, but she is wise enough to believe
that she can trust Boez and also Ruth.
She sends her to the threshing floor to
remind Boaz of his duty.
To our Occidental minds this Oriental
method is shocking; and yet the whole story
indicates the propriety of it. Boaz would
never have married Ruth if he had thought
her bold, for he didn't have to—there was
one nearer than himself. Naomi's purpose
would "have defeated itself. Ruth showed
that her first thought was of her husband’s
inheritance. Her very words (v. 9) show
this: “Spread thy skirt over me,” was the
expression for "protect me.”
Boaz was a mnn of deen piety and of a
high sense of honor. He protected this
unprotected girl whom he had learned to
love, and sent her back to Naomi with
more than she could well carry, as an as
surance that he desired to do as she re
quested.
The fcinsman Redeemer
The next day he assembled court at the
proper place and offered the nearest of
kin an opportunity to redeem the piece nf
land that was Elimelech's. He was willing
to do this to acquire, but not willing to go
the whole way, for should he marry Ruth,
the eldest son of that marriage would bo
the heir of Mohlon. and inherit what would
have been Mahlon’s land—thus his own
inheritance would be marred to that extent.
Then Bonz. In a proper way. bought the
Innd. and with it the beantiful Moabitish
maiden, and Ruth found rest in the house
of her husband, who was also the redeemer
of her former hvshrnd's inheritance.
Naomi's tears of bitterness arc dried up
now, for in course of time she coddles in

THE COUNTRY HOME
CONDUCTED BY MRS.W.H.FELTON
Dear Madam: lam coming to you
for advice.
I am 5 feet 2 inches tall, have
brown hair, gray eyes and fair com
plexion. Am seventeen years old.
Am in love with a boy nineteen and
he loved me dearly. He has been
going with me about two years until
two months ago, then he started go
ing with another girl. How should
I try to get him back?
How often should a boy call, and
how long should he stay?
Should boys and girls go car rid
ing on Sunday afternoons?
When a boy asks me to kiss him
what must I say?
If the boy and girl are engaged
should the girl go with another boy.
When there is another girl after
my sweetheart and tries to turn him
away from me how must I act?
Should a girl tell a boy she loves
him? Should a girl put a chicken
foot on the table when her fellow
takes dinner with her?
GRAY EYES.
If the young man has stopped
calling on you the best thing to
do is to let him stay away. Even
if you do like him so much. Try
to interest yourself in some one
else. After a while you will
cease to worry about him.
It is all right for boys and
girls to go car. riding on Sundays.
Just because a boy asks you to
kiss him is not any reason for
you to do so. They will not fail
to ask. It seems to be the na
ture of the species. But you
mustn’t kiss them even if you do
run the risk of making them an
gry, it is better to do that than
have them talk about you and
they will surely do that, as that
is part of their nature also.
When another girl )is mean
enough to try to set a boy
against you then the thing you
must do is to ignore it; be above
such actions. In the end you will
win out.
I have never seen anyone put
a chicken foot on the table, they
always left that part of the
chicken’s anatomy in the kitchen
or threw it away. But anyhow,
I do not think it looks very well.
Do you?
Dear Miss Meredith: lam a lone
ly girl coming to you for advice, as
I have no mother to go to. Am

I weigh enough for my height? Haye
blue eyes, brown curly hair and fair
complexion. What colors will be
most becoming for me? Will taf

account of “flu” I have a lot of short
hair. What will make it long and

past favors. Yours truly,

Obed is tlie baby.
Ruth gave up all that was dear to her;
did she lose? Was her choice wise? She
became the owner of the very fields on
which she gleaned ns a destitute widow;
she became the wife of one of tlie noblest,
wealthiest, purest and most honorable of
men; she was the great-grandmother of
Israel's greatest king; and her blood ran in
the veins of tlie Babe of Bethlehem. But
had she had gained none of these things,
her choice would still have been a wise
one, for she chose God, and having Him,
she had all.
Psalm 19:14 throws a wonderful glow
over the incident: "My rock and my re
deemer” —my rock and ray kinsman (in the
Hebrew). Jesus Christ stands ready to play
the kinsman part to pread out His skirt
over you, to redeem your inheritance, to
jeopardize all that He has for you. My
Kinsman, my Redeemer! Is He yours?

any color would suit you, but the
French women are considered to
have taste in dressing and they
generally wear the colors which
match their eyes. So if you want
to always be becomingly dress
ed. wear blue in all shades, and
stick to it. Brush your hair each
day a hundred times, that is a
hundred strokes and once or
twice a week rub into the scalp
a little pure castor oil.
I am a lonely girl about seventeen;
have black hair, gray eyes, fair com
plexion. I have been going with a
boy about seven months and I have
learned to care for him. He seems at
to care a great deal about, me, then
again he acts indifferently. Do you
think he really loves me? Can you
tell me how to win his love? I love
him very dearly. What colors
should I wear? DAISY.
Perhaps you let him see that
you care a great deal for him.
To make yourself more desir
able in his eyes, you must keep
him guessing. A woman can’t let
a man know how deeply she
loves him. He is much more eas
ily managed when he is ignor
ant of it. So you just treat him
kindly, but try to have some oth
er boy like you, too. And I’ve
no doubt your boy friend will
think more of you.

GAN
It Isn’t Sleep You Need, But
a Good Tonic-More
Red Blood
Everyone gets run down occasion
ally. Sometimes it’s weeks before
you get your energy, enthusiasm and
happiness back again.
Any doctor will tell you to be
careful in a time like this. Your
body has little power of resistance,
and the danger of catching some
serious disease is great. Temporar
ily, your blood has too few “fight
ing” corpuscles.
It’s the work of these same red
corpuscles to keep you free from fa
tigue. Being constantly tired out —
depressed in body and mind,—is al
most a sure sign that your blood
needs help for a time.
Gude’s Pepto-Mangan is a standard
remedy in cases of anemia (or
bloodlessness). It supplies the iron
and other properties your blood
needs to catch up with its task of
keeping you fresh and alert in every
fibre.
Pepto-Mangan has the hearty en
dorsement of physicians, is an agree
able tonic to take, and may be had
at any drug store in either liquid or
tablet form. Both have same medi
cinal value.
Be sure to ask for Gude's. There
is only one genuine Pepto-Mangan,
and the name “Gude’s” should be on
the package.—(Advt.)
