ARRYING bundles, in which all their worldly possessions are wrapped, these Japanese priests of the Koseiji temple at Uji, near Kioto, make a strange picture as they leave the temple on their first pilgrimage after having completed their first year of study.

DATES TOOTHSOME, NUTRITIOUS

THE perfect date, colorful, translucent, and altogether delicious, is now an American product, thanks to the untiring effort of our date growers. Arabian dates are still shipped into our country in large quantities, but nothing so far has reached the perfection of the home grown. It will probably be some time be fore we can supply the demand with the home product, for the date is so well liked and is used for confections so largely, as well as for ordinary food. With a handful of nuts and a half dozen dates, a glass of orange juice, one need not worry over calories or hunger. Dates are enjoyed in bread, cake, cookies, chopped with nuts and molded into bars, stuffed with nuts or preserved fruit or fondant; added to salads they give just the note of sweetness that any salad needs. They take the place of raisins or combine with them in desserts of various kinds. Date Pie.--Cook one pound of dates that have been pitted, with one cupful of water and one tablespoonful of lemon juice; cook until a thick paste is formed, then add two tablespoonfuls of orange juice and let stand until cold. Bake a pastry shell and fill with the mixture, top with lightly sweetened cream and serve. As filling for sandwiches to give the children for luncheon, they are perfectly desirable. In stuffed dates, try any or all of the following: Peanut butter moistened with orange juice and a little cream. Use fondant to which chopped cherries, ginger, candied peel has been added. Almonds finely chopped, mixed with a little grated maple sugar and cream to moisten. ©, 1933, Western Newspaper Union.

One Eye Concealed

In the new hats the crowns are flat and low and brims are definitely concealing one eye, while the entire side of the head is left exposed on the other side. Small twisted wreaths of velvet flowers encircle crowns and are multi-colored or in contrast. They adorn fabric and straw hats alike.

Japanese Priests on Their First Pilgrimage

MERRY LITTLE BREEZES LEARN THE JOY OF WORK There's nothing like some honest work To make the minutes swiftly fly; To fill the day with golden joy And set the hours skipping by. ALL summer long the Merry Little Breezes of Old Mother West Wind had played on the Green Meadows and in the Green Forest. To dance and play was what they were made for. At least that is what they seemed to think. Why anyone should work was something they couldn’t understand in spite of the fact that Old Mother West Wind herself worked every day. When early in the morning she would turn them out of the big bag to play they would watch her go away to turn the windmills that pumped the water for the cows, to blow white-sailed ships across the distant ocean, to sweep away the smoke from great cities, and they would won-

Happy Jack and Chatterer Were Still Quarreling.

der why she did these things when it was so much easier just to do nothing at all or to romp and play. But even playing becomes tiresome, especially when nobody will play with you. And now that the busy autumn had come there was no one to play with. Everybody was too busy to play. So it came about that the Merry Little Breezes because they could think of nothing else to do, offered to help Striped Chipmunk, of whom they were very fond. They offered to shake down nuts from the trees that he might more easily fill his secret storehouse. You know Striped Chipmunk is not much of a climber. He can climb if he has to, but he never feels at home in the trees and never likes to get far above the ground. So for his winter stores he depends on what he can find on the ground, and let me tell you there are no brighter eyes than those of Striped Chipmunk when it comes to finding nuts and seeds hidden under brown leaves. But there are others quite as eager as Striped Chipmunk to find nuts for secret storehouses, especially his cousins, Happy Jack Squirrel and Chatterer the Red Squirrel, and because they are bigger and stronger and very, very selfish, they often chase Striped Chipmunk away. So is it any wonder that when the Merry Little Breezes offered to shake down the brown nuts for him, Striped Chipmunk chased his tail for pure happiness? Happy Jack and Chatterer were still quarreling and their voices sounded harsh and angry as the Merry Little Breezes danced along ahead of Striped Chipmunk to a tree some distance from where Happy Jack and Chatterer were calling each other names and worse than wasting the golden minutes of that beautiful day. Striped Chipmunk looked up and his eyes sparkled. The night before Jack Frost had opened the prickly burrs and Striped Chipmunk could see the brown nuts ready to drop. The Merry Little Breezes shook a branch and down rattled the brown nuts. Striped Chipmunk squealed with joy and stuffed the pockets of his cheeks until the Merry Little Breezes shouted with laughter because he looked so funny. Then he scampered away to his secret storehouse. Back he came and did it all over again. As soon as he had picked up the last nut the Merry Little Breezes shook another branch and down showered more brown nuts, rolling under the brown leaves on the ground. It was great fun. It seemed

as if those bright eyes of Striped Chipmunk saw where every nut rolled to. Of course they didn’t, but those they didn’t see his keen little nose found, so it amounted to the same thing. Never had the Merry Little Breezes had such a good time. Some times they would tease Striped Chipmunk by shaking down only a few at a time. Then they would shake a branch so hard that the brown nuts would fly in all directions. But Striped Chipmunk didn’t mind. All he wanted was to have the nuts on the ground where he could get them. Back and forth, back and forth, back and forth he scampered between his secret storehouse and the place where the brown nuts were being shaken down and in his heart was a song of joy. And there was a like joy in the hearts of the Merry Little Breezes, for they had discovered the joy of something to do, of work. Never had a day passed so quickly. They had helped another and in so doing had won for themselves a great happiness. “We’ll come again, tomorrow!" they cried, as they saw Old Mother West Wind coming across the Green Mead ows with her big bag in which to take them to their home behind the Purple Hills. “Thank you!” cried Striped Chipmunk, as he sat down to rest his weary legs. ©, 1933, by T.

AT LAST a monument to Martin Van Buren, the “forgotten President,” has been provided in Kinderhook, N. Y., the little village in which he was born 150 years ago. This monument, of Vermont marble, was unveiled recently in front of the Martin Van Buren high school. Van Buren’s body lies in an inconspicuous grave in the Kinderhook cemetery.

Worry and Trouble

By DOUGLAS MALLOCH

I’VE seen a lot whose luck was bad, And heard about the loss they had, And others in the neighborhood Who hadn’t yet, but thought they would. The losers didn’t seem so sad--That’s what I never understood; The ones who hadn’t lost a thing Did mostly all the worrying. The losers used to laugh and say, “Well, that is over anyway, Boyond a question or a doubt, And nothing more to fret about.” The ones who worried all the day, The ones who looked all petered out, Were those who ran ahead and met Bad luck that hadn’t happened yet. It seems that way with all our woe: The ones who trouble really know Don’t worry much; but those who fear That things might maybe happen here (Although they may not happen so) The worried seem, the sad appear--Though trouble is a thing you see, And worry only what may be. ©, 1933, Douglas Malloch.--WNU Service.

Make Brooms Last

To make your brooms last longer, dip them for a minute or two in a kettle of boiling suds once a week. This makes them tough and pliable.

Invents New Type Soda Fountain Druggists, Ice Cream Companies and the General Public will be greatly interested in a new type of electrically refrigerated Soda Fountain which has just been placed on the market, known as “Walrus 100% Dry Refrigerated Soda Fountains.” There is no brine in the ice cream cabinet, no water bath around cooling coils, thus there can be no leaks. Brick ice cream, ices and bulk ice cream should each have its own degree of coldness, and this new type Fountain provides for that, which has never heretofore been done successfully. The carbonated and city water are instantaneously chilled in large volume by an entirely new method of heat absorption, and the fruits and syrups are kept at a lower temperature than ever before. This new type Soda Fountain is also a safeguard to public health, because it is 100% Dry Refrigerated; no moisture to foul conditions. Further, the Fountain is a great money saver and business getter for the merchant, who now well realizes what the advantages of 100% Dry Soda Fountain Refrigeration would mean to his business. These new type Walrus 100% Dry Refrigerated Soda Fountains, (invented and manufactured only by the Walrus Mfg. Co., Decatur, Ill.) are destined to lead the field for time to come. They are backed by 32 years’ successful Soda Fountain manufacturing experience.--Adv.

No Difficulty at All for Man of Medicine

The doctor’s patient looked terribly worn out. “Oh, doctor,” he said, “I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I’m never well. I can’t tell you why.” “Where’s the pain?” asked the medical man brusquely. “I don’t know, doctor,” continued the patient. “I can’t quite locate it, but it’s something that leaves me quite done up, as if something in-

Mother of 7--Still Young

THE woman who gives her organs the right stimulant need not worry about growing old. Her system doesn’t stagnate; her face doesn’t age. She has the health and “pep” that come from a lively liver and strong, active bowels. When you’re sluggish and the system needs help, don’t take a lot of “patent medicines.” There’s a famous doctor’s prescription for just such cases, and every druggist keeps this standard preparation. It is made from fresh laxative herbs, active senna, and pure pepsin. Just ask for Dr. Caldwell’s syrup pepsin. Take a little every day or so, until every organ in your body feels the big improvement. The next time you have a bilious headache, or feel all bound-up, take this delicious syrup instead of the

Grease soaks loose from the dishes without any help from me. All I need to do is to rinse them in hot water--and let them drain dry. The dirtiest dishes--the greasiest pots and pans--soak spotless this easy way.” Cup for cup, Rinso gives twice as much suds as lightweight, puffed-aip soaps--even in hardest water.

Take it from time to time for as long as it suits you. I can’t tell you just now how often or how long or what doses to take, but when you are cured you can come back to me for some more.”
