Gelatin Is a Real Food 
A LMOST everybody has always liked 
- dishes containing gelatin, particu¬ 
larly in summer when coolness and 
pleasant flavor are so desirable, but few 
of us have ever given much thought to 
gelatin as a real food. . 
A long investigation of the food value 
of gelatin has recently established some 
interesting facts. Chemists have found 
that babies and adults alike are better 
fo'r its use, and that it is actually a \ alu- 
able addition to the diet. 
Gelatin is one of the easiest proteins to 
digest, according to the report. It. is 
most beneficial when combined with 
other foods, such as cereals, bread, .milk, 
eggs and ice cream. A small quantity of 
gelatin added to ice cream not only makes 
it more palatable but increases its food 
value and digestibility. 
Experiments carried on in cooperation 
with baby clinics, says the report, have 
shown remarkable results from the use 
of gelatin in infant feeding. Babies who 
lost weight on the usual milk formulas 
recovered when 1 per cent, of gelatin 
was added. Its value in the diet of in¬ 
valids and convalescents is also said to 
be great, particularly in cases of fever, 
tuberculosis and diabetes. 
So serve jelly dishes and add granu¬ 
lated gelatin to ice cream, breads and 
even oatmeal! It is not just something 
that makes other dishes more palatable 
but it is actually nutritious in itself. The 
American-made gelatin is the best that 
comes, according to the chemical tests, 
and as it has the great virtue of costing 
very little, it should be kept handy by 
every housewife. Use more gelatin this 
summer, for all members of the family. 
Hints on Rag Rugs 
I READ recently that “Jane” wanted 
to know if she could make braided 
rugs from carpet rags. Yes, you can, but 
you will do better to double the rags. 
You can have two long strands, but you 
will have to have one short or you will get 
the rags tangled. You can use any kind 
of rags, but cotton washes better if you 
want to wash it. I have just made a rug of 
old coats and a red tarn ’o shanter that 
is very pretty. When you sew the braid 
you will find that if you use a lap board 
or put it on the table, it will be flatter 
when done. I wish I might show you!*

“Not tonight. ’Phone’s busted.” . ^ 
“But she could have caught a tram. 
“Yes. She could have—but she 
wouldn’t. She left a message to be sent 
through from the station. Didn t seem 
to care much when it went out. But she 
sure did hustle us.” / (J

fire and then journeying onward. A fare¬ 
well wave of the paddle and she had gone. 
He understood at last why the woods 
were lonesome. 
Well, he would stay, awake until the 
men came, anyhow. He smoked steadily, 
watching the coal in his pipe glow and 
fade. There was no fire tonight. Finally 
he became drowsy. At last he slept. 
A LIGHT flashed in his eyes roused 
him with a start. 
“It’s Jack Burns,” called a familiar 
voice. “Are y’all right?

Now we are going to print several 
short, exciting stories of modern 
American life. Some will run only 
two installments, others will be 
slightly longer. They are by well- 
known writers and up to American 
Agriculturist standards of excellence. 
Older folks and young people will like 
them equally well. The Changing

lowing it will come Swift Currents

They heard the grating of a canoe 
against the shore, and the guide went 
down with the lantern to meet it. A 
moment later Lloyd saw the tattered 
skirt flash past the light and she was 
kneeling at his side. 
“All right?” she whispered. 
“Yes; but why did you come?” he said 
protestingly, as he groped for her hand 
and found it.

“God bless her! She got there!” 
exclaimed Lloyd. ^Ihen he fell back with 
a groan, for he had forgotten the leg. 
“Got there before sundown. It’s only 
about ten now,” said the guide, setting 
down his lantern. How s the leg? 
“Fine! You’re not alone?” 
“Jim’ll be along in a minute or so. 
They’re in another canoe.” 
“They?” 
“Sure! She’s with him.” 
Lloyd uttered an exclamation of

She leaned closer to him and stroked
