‘Gimme’ Spirit Is the Cause = Of Jitters

By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON Times Special Writer

WHY DO OUR nerves hound us? Why can't we relax? According to Josephine L. Rathbone of Columbia "university, it's because we are . driven by selfishness. I think the ~ lady has put her finger on a sore a spot. For with all the palliatives now offered us to ease worry and woe, none is so important as a remedy as a release from self-obses-sion. Of course we like to kid ourselves by calling the trait am- > bition, but in “nine out of 10 cases it's greed. So we can tollow all the rules ** for proper diet, recreation and rest .° —and remain jittery, nail-gnawing, i; driven beings, because we put more ‘effort in “getting” than in “giving.” It seems to me the fault for this : lies partly in a bad educational :- process. Instead of setting up goals of our own, we're forever trying to make one set up by the other fellow. : All our little boys are told they +. ean grow up to be president. We - make believe that every cute blondling is headed for stardom in Holly- - wood—a favorite feminine ambition which proves our sterility-of imagination. ” ” ” WE COULD CREATE unlimited * happiness if tots were persuaded to ~ cut their pattern of life to fit the cloth which nature gives them, Tremendous waste results because - people are not taught to realize - their limitations as well as their . possibilities. ° i 2 A life pattern can be small and still be exquisite. Neither the great

' © nor the rich leave any more lovely

". patterns behind than certain ob- « scure men and women who live +. richly without wealth and are com- . panioned by their own greatness. As has been proved by the few noble ones of earth, real happiness lies in being true to one’s better self, in seeking for sincerity, and in giving rather than receiving. -. Neither nerves nor hearts will ~ find peace until we are purged of the “gimme” spirit which still pre- . ~vails in spite of war sacrifices.

program. A lot of those housewives yesterday served their families something different in the meat line, On a thrift and nutrition basis, variety meats are some of the best buys in the butcher shop. They offer good food value and flavor and most of them are relatively low in cost. Only one or two variety kinds are being shipped abroad, so we have not been asked to spare— or share—them.

What They Are—

ABOUT 10 of the more unusual meats now go under the “variety” name. They range from liver, heart and kidney, with their deep color and distinctive flavor, to sweetbreads and brains, almost white in color and very delicate to the taste. In tenderness, they range from young kidney and young liver that need only brief cooking, to tongue, tripe and heart that take longer cooking to make them into tasty dishes. Most are available in spite of wartime shortages. Kidneys may be a little harder to buy—a good many are shipped under lend-lease to Europe, where kidney has long been popular. Heart also is available only in limited supply for a good deal goes in combination into sausage meats. In food value, these meats supply good protein as other meats do, and extra minerals and vitamins in the bargain. The different kinds vary in their contributions to good diet. There are rich storehouses of iron in liver, heart, kidney and tongue. There are good amounts of one or more B vitamins in kidney, heart, liver and brains. Liver again is an excellent source of vitamin A and has some vitamin D, not widely distributed in ordinary foods.

How to Prepare Them—

It is important to know how to prepare variety meats before cooking, If it’s kidneys you are having, be sure to remove the outer covering before you cook them. Brains should ‘be soaked in cold water before the outer covering is removed. The outer covering of tongue, however, is removed after the meat is cooked. It helps to know, too, that lamb and hog liver have better flavor if scalded before cooking. This treatment is not needed with calf and beef liver. The very tender meats, like young liver and kidney and brains, need only the briefest cooking — just enough to heat them all the way through. If you plan to use tongue, beef kidney, spleen or tripe, count on long, slow cooking with moisture to make the meat tender. Try these in shepherd’s pie with layers of mashed potato and gravy, or in a steaming hot stew, And season well. If the meat is very lean, it needs well-seasoned fat or a rather rich sauce or gravy.

‘Irecipes for using variety meats,

DEAR JANE JORDAN—I am a young fellow deeply in love with a girl of 16. I am 18 years old and I am going into the service any day now. I love her very much and I am sure she loves me, but I've never said anything about marriage to her. I would love to marry her beiore I go and I think she would like the same. She is a junior in high school and I have graduated. Please advise me right away as I am going very soon, ME.

Answer—Why don’t you fight first and marry afterward? This would give the girl a chance to finish her education, which she certainly ought to do. It would give you a chance to grow up a bit before making the most important decision of your life. The war acts as a sort of forcing agent which makes young people reach out for experiences which they are in no way prepared to meet. They feel that they must hurry to grasp each opportunity before it is snatched away. It is characteristic of youth that it doesn’t like to wait under the best of circumstances and certainly not under the threat of war. What you must face is the fact that many of the hasty marriages made by immature couples aren’t going to bring the undivided blessings which they expect. At 18 you aren't equipped to assume the responsibility for a wife. You haven't subjected your attachment to a single test. You don’t know whether it will last under stress and changing circumstances or not. ~ If you marry now you may come back to a girl who seems like a stranger to you. At 16 is she prepared to give up the life normal to her age and wait months, perhaps years, for a young man whom she has had little opportunity to know? The wisest thing you can do is to go on into service and see how you feel in six months or a year from Now. » EJ ” DEAR JANE JORDAN-—I am 19 years old. I met a boy nine months ago whom I knew when I was a kid. We both fell for each other, just like that, mainly because we like everything in common. He left five months ago for the army. What I want to know is this, should I wait until the war is over before marrying him? MARY.

Answer—If the boy was in civilian life the chances are you would not be thinking of marriage for a year or two. You'd give the young man

.la chance to get established finan-

cially. Why don’t you make your decision as you would if there was no war and marry only when ybu're prepared to do so? JANE JORDAN,
