Dates Rank at Top in Food Value BV SISTER MARY SKA Scrvire Mrilrr Do you know that “six mediumfixed dates furnish as much working force as a large baked potato or three half-inch slices from a baker's loaf of bread?" That is according to reports by food chemists. Dates also arc rich in iron and other minerals and are a worth-while addition to the diet of growing children. Aside from these virtues, dates lend themselves to many delicious concoctions and have an important place in winter cookery. There are several salads that use dates effectively. Chopped apple, nut and date salad with Prencu dressing is excellent for dinner on a bed oi shredded cabbage. Fine, large dates stuffed with a mixture of cream cheese and nuts and served with a tart whipped cream dressing make a delicious, hearty salad for bridge refreshments. Serve this salad with crisp salted crackers or tiny hot buttered rolls. Another salad combines orange sections with dates and nuts in a French dressing. Try dates rather than raisins in the next rice pudding you make. Flavor it delicately with vanilla and cinnamon. Sandwiches are good made with dates and nuts chopped together. Date cake always is popular and easy to make. Date pie is a rich dessert suitable to serve lor Sunday night supper or any light rather festive meal.

n a m a DATE CAKE One cup hot water, 1 cup stoned and chopped dates, 'u cup chopped nut meats, 1 egg, 11-3 cups flour, 1 i cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon soda, teaspoon salt, teaspoon vanilla, 2 tablespoons butter.

WRITE your emotional problems to Jane Jordan who will answer your letters in this column. Write fully and freely, just as if you were talking to a friend. If you have any secrets to tell, they will be kept in strictest confidence. a a a '“y OUNGEST DAUGHTER” who X has written me twice, is a brave little# soul who lives with a/ cantankerous father whom she supports. five sisters married the first men who asked them to escape from their father, and none of them are happy. Her father has had one stroke and lives in fear of another. At first her father expected her to go to bed every night at 8 o’clock, and threw tantrums when she disobeyed. even threatening to strike her. Through careful management he now doesn’t say so much if she goes out some over the weekend, but if she takes an evening during .the wee! he gets mad and stays mad for several days. The ... , , .. daughter has a hot do boy friend who c f) IV c doesn’t under- „ . 0 stand why he * a * ants. can’t come on Tuesday night, too, and fears she is saving that night for some other boy. This case brings up the question of how much children owe their parents. Not so much as parents owe their children, in my opinion. The burden of duty flows from the parents to the child, for the parents arc responsible for the child’s presence in a struggling universe. Few of us have found existence a priceless boon for which we owe undying gratitude tc the persons who bestowed it upon us. On the contrary, wa have come to wonder what it is all about and .to ponder the meaning of on ■ presence in a world which seems bent upon making us suffer. However, when parents have felt their obligations keenly and sacrificed .he best years of their lives for tlieir children; when they have been kind, generous, and unselfish, only the worst sort of an ingrate would refuse that comfort which the old age of the parents undoubtedly merits. Often the preparation of the child for life takes what the parent otherwise would have laid aside for his own support. The right kind of parents burn with ar. undying zeal to equip the child for life belter than they themselves were equipped. When old age descends, those parents should be cherished by t.he child whom they labored so hard to launch.

Once upon a time wr w’ere taught it was our duty to love our parents merely because they gave us life. Now w r e realize Don’t Yield that P arents are Don i lin a. pcople and not Too Much gods; that we love to TANARUS) 7/ /?/ them because ' ° 1 l lt they are lovable and if they are not. we react against them exactly as if there was no blood tie. In the case of a father as unpleasant as yours is, I would not feel my duty too keenly. I would expect my married sisters to help me by taking him into their homes for occasional visits, thereby giving me a rest from his continual surveillance and bossing. I would be kind to him. but firm. "If you want, me to stay here and earn your living, I must have my evenings in which to do as I please.” If you are calm, but determined, what can he do but concede your point. You have all the winning cards in your hands, if you only knew it. because he is dependent on you for survival. He is a bully, and all bullies are cowards at heart. He is old and sick and will not risk living alone without your aid. No one ever flings tantrum alone. As soon as the Fudience is removed, the tantrum stops. Never watch him in a temper, but leave the house for a few* hours. Refuse to live where you are not well treated. You don't realize that losing his temper is probably the only pleasure that the old man has. I think you should take the boy friend into your confidence. If you got your way about dates for the week-end you can have Tuesday, too, if only you can overcome your habit of star toward your father. How would it be to have the boy friend call on Tuesday and pay no attention to your father's tantrums? If he gets violent, walk out on him. i Please write me again whenever ! you feel like it. as you are one of the girls I am most interested in.
