THE TALISMAN, Coldwater, Kans. WILSON ON HIS WESTERN TRIP IMPORTANT PINCH OF SALT Seemingly There Are Few Dishes to Which It Will Not Impart an Ex- cellent Flavor. i Few housewives, especialy the little Mrs. Newlyweds, fully appreciate the- value of the pinch of salt Of course, everyone uses salt on meats, and in soups, entrees, sauces, but although the cook books do not always include it in recipes for cakes, pies and desserts gen-erally, there is almost nothing from the most dainty gelatine and whipped cream dessert to bread and butter pud-, ding that is not greatly improved by It. You probably would not dream of putting it in a pot of tea, but if you try it you will find that it brings out the aroma of the tea, making it actually fragrant by neutralizing the flatness of the water.

This will be found especially so in localities where the water is hard or has a mineral taste. It should always be used in coffee and cocoa. It imparts a mellow taste to coffee and makes the cocoa seem very much richer. The delicate flavoring of all custard desserts is enhanced by the magic pinch of salt. Put it in pies of all kinds.

Use plenty of salt in the pie crust where only lard is used for shortening. Meringues are improved by it. At preserving time remember the pinch of salt, whether you are making preserves, jelly or marmalade. It simply puts the water where it belongsin the background, and the fruit flavor stands out preeminent. These are a few of the out of ordinary, yet everyday, uses of a pinch of salt.

Harvard University Physicians With New Instrument Get "Long Distance" Heart Beats.

Fire Fighters Face Great Dangers in Forest. How Pulaski, by Coolness and Bravery, Prevented the Loss of Thirty. Five of His Crew In Cour d'AIene. Cambridge, Mass. That it la possible for a physician to note the heart beats of a patient who may be on the other" side of the world is the assertion of Dr.

Percy E. Brown of the Harvard Medical school. An instrument devised for that purpose has been installed in the Harvard Medical school. Doctor Brown says: "With the p'roper attachments the heart beats could be registered around the world. All the patient has to do is to place the hands In warm salt water and the electric current, with the hands the positive and negative poles, is carried by wires to the instrument, which shows the heart beats." Put ripe plums in a colander and pour boiling water over them; then put the fruit in a preserving kettle with barely enough water to cover, and boil' until the plums are softened and the juice is plentiful.

Strain off the juice and put it on to boil. Measure out a pound of sugar to every pint of the juice, and place it In shallow pans in the oven to heat until the Juice has boiled for twenty minutes. Add the sugar then, stirring it in until dissolved and removing all scum as it rises, and pour into glasses boiled In hot water to prevent their breaking when the scalding fluid is poured in. A delicious jelly from wild grapes may be made in the same way, but, remember, if the jelly bag is squeezed the result will be jam and not clear jelly. When the natural dripping seems about over, squeeze out all the pulp that will come through the mesh of the bag and use it for 'jam.

when the supply of blankets ran low he held the burning fragments across the mouth of the shaft with his bare hands. "The suffering of the men from the heat and smoke was pitiful. They were fairly maddened by it, and some of them made a wild attempt to push their way out of the shaft. For a while Pulaski held back by sheer physical strength, for he was an unusually strong man. But he knew that he must soon be overpowered and that the men, in their frenzy, would rush out to certain death.

He drew his revolver and told them that he would kill the first man who attempted to break away. The men knew that he meant it, too, and that knowledge brought them back to reason. "It wasn't more than twenty minutes before the worst of the fire had passed the shaft. When it was safe to crawl out they found that five of the men were dead from suffocation, but the other thirty-five were all right. Pulaski himself was blinded and burned, but Ills sight was partly restored.

He lost five men, to be sure, but with less courage and presence of mind he would have lost them all. I take off my hat to such a man. He is a real hero." New York. Prof. Welling, tanned and toughened by his summer's work in the Coeur d'AIene national forest reservation, held his eastern visitors spellbound with stories of the fight he had helped to make against the fearful forest fires, says the Youth's Companion.

He had gone out, with two others, under government commission, to study the forest and, coming back in August, they had met the fires and spent almost a month in fighting their way out of them. "There are real men among those forest rangers," he went on. "In fact, there is no place for anything that is not genuine up there. The most thrilling story of heroism that I have heard in a long time is he story of Ranger Pulaski.

London. King George has offered to King Manuel a suite in Kensington palace. Thus another foreign royalty becomes more or less a burden on the taxpayers of Groat Britain. At present Manuel occupies a house at Richmond. If he accepts the rooms in Kensington palace he will have as fellow residents the duke of Argyll and Princess Louise, Princess Henry of Battenburg, mother-in-law of King Al-phonso, and the countess Granville.

Preserved Half Peaches. Clingstone peaches are the best. Pare and cut them in halves. Remove the stones and cook the stones in water for twenty minutes. Use the water for making syrup in which the peaches are to be cooked.

For preserving, use as many pounds of sugar as there are pounds of fruit and one cupful of water to each pound of sugar. Boil the sugar and water until the syrup is clear, then drop in a few peaches at a time, until they are cooked. Put into jars which have been rterilized and seal them while they are hoL PIANO IN WRECK SAVES LIFE of the reservation where I was, but I can vouch for its truth, for I have talked with some of the men who were with him. "Pulaski had forty men under him, and they had been fighting a big fire for hours. Suddenly the wind rose until it blew a gale.

The fire got beyond them, and it became a question of saving the lives of the men. They were many miles from a railroad or a clearing. "Pulaski remembered that about a mile from where they were working was an abandoned mine shaft that ran back about forty feet into the hillside. He ordered the men to snatch their blankets from the camp and run for this shaft. Once there, they packed themselves like sardines into the hole.

Pulaski placed himself at the opening and stretched a blanket across it. "In a few minutes the fire overtook them. The blanket at the opening caught and Pulaski- jerked it away. Again and again this was done, and Forms a Barrier That Fences Man In It at Time of Crash of Trains. Sheridan, Wyo.
