Something to Think About By F. A. IDALKER

TURNING CORNERS 'T'HE very ease and speed with which you rush ahead, so agreeable while the road Is smooth and clear, make it difficult sometimes to slow down and turn the corners In safety. A straight course is easy to follow, but a devious way Is hard and calls for all your strength and finer judgment in spite of your vaunted skill. A few trifling words, a slip of the foot, a shifting of the eye or a broken troth and you are destitute of courage, in a perilous position from which iv may take years to extricate yourself. Friendships are Irrevocably lost at the corners where you must turn to determine your future; where you find that you must curtail expenses and live a simpler life with less pleasure and more work. Turning corners dampens the spirits of high-strung men and women and often narrows their views to so great an extent that they become mere corner loungers, of no use to themselves or to the community in which they exist. The sunlight vistas of life have been darkened by the gathering clouds of adversity in which they un; expectedly plunged as they turned a sharp comer in an unfamiliar territory. Like you, these victims of misfortune were comfortable and happy in the heyday of prosperity. And like thousands’ of others, they miscalculated their strength and were hastily swept off their feet, bruised and maimed as they found themselves bereft of power and humbled in pride. In an atmosphere that stifles their ambition*’ and fills their souls with remorse, they are like frightened children lost In the dark, afraid of the shadows and unable to move. Yesterday they would have laughed at the plight of a friend who made an unfortunate turn at the comer; today, laughter and they are not on speaking terms.

Uncommon sr Sense .♦ ♦ I BLAKE-

“USED” THOUGHTS EMERSON, wisest of all American essayists, says somewhere that every man must sooner or later make up his mind that he and no one else must determine his future. We can learn from others knowledge, methods, even wisdom. Other men can teach us how to think, as they can teach us how to swim or play golf. We all employ a great deal of thought that is not our own. That must be, for we should be foolish not to profit by the accumulated wisdom of those who have gone before. But these “used' thoughts, while we must at times employ them, serve not at all to develop our minds. And while we might get along fairly well through life without original thought, we should die little wiser than when we began, and contribute nothing whatever to the progress of the world. All that is of value In education is learning how to think. From biography we derive a great deal, but most of it consists in knowing how other men thought, and how their thought made their careers. If we carry all our problems to others to solve for us, we shall some day be confronted with a great problem and ’ack the understanding of how to grapple with It. And In that time there will be no one to help us, and we shall meet with a failure that may change for the worse the course of our lives. Most of us will do anything rather than think, for thinking is labor of the hardest kind.

And if you jvlll look into the lives of such persons you will And that they were early taught at a good mother’s knee to put aside greed and selfishness, to call men brothers, to help the poor, to be charitable to the fallen, and to practice in their dealings with others the golden rule, that the corners might be turned without calamity, even In the purpling twilight.

But it is the sort of labor that means development, that enables us to use our minds for our own advancement, that makes us resourceful and independent and not afraid of tackling whatever comes along. There are small differences between the outsides of our heads. There are tremendous differences between the insides of them. And those of us who have learned to think have developed machines which steadily and industriously through the years will work for our prosperity and our happiness. But those whose thoughts are second hand wonder why they never arrive. (Copyright by John Blake.) O J I WAS A / Fool TO L fare THAT (ft Small nwJ?} ' x •

Bake very slowly at first. Use a tube pan. The cake should, when properly made and baked, be the size of an eleven-egg angel food. Nut Loaf. Take one cupful of chopped nuts, two cupfuls of bread crumbs, one-half cupful of hot water, one-half cupful of melted butter, one egg well beaten, one teaspoonful of mushroom catsup, one teaspoonful of onion juice and one and one-half teaspoonfuls of salt, a few dashes of pepper. Mix the Ingredients in a loaf and bake In a moderate oven one-half hour. Baste occasionally with butter. Serve hot with brown sauce. Eggs in Peppers. Use large green peppers of regular shape, wash them und with a sharp knife cut in halves. Remove the white membrane and seeds and place in boiling water to cook ten minutes. Remove and invert to drain. Sprinkle each pepper with a layer of buttered crumbs and minced ham moistened with cream. Break an egg in each, season lightly and place In the oven to bake until the egg Is set. Serve on rounds of bread lightly browned In butter. Spanish Potatoes. Cook potatoes in boiling salted water until tender, drain and shake over the heat until dry. Into a hot vegetable dish place two to three tablespoonfuls of butter and two tablespoonfuls < f minced onion; this amount will be sufficient for six potatoes. Chop and stir the hot potatoes, covering with the butter and onion, then sprinkle thickly with paprika and serve very hot. This is a good dish to serve with cold meats.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS “WELSH RABBIT" THE name of the dish composed of melted cheese with the addition of sundry sauces and piquant flavorings is usually spelled “rarebit”—an error due to the fact that persons who could see no resemblance between their favorite midnight repast and a hare which came from Wales concluded that it must be a “rare bit.” Even Worcester and Webster were formerly guilty of this mistake, until an examination of Continental colloquialisms showed them where they erred. Welsh “rabbit” is a dyed-in-the-wool slang term, belonging to the same class as a considerable number of other, but less well-known names applied to the favorite dishes of various communities. In England, for example, they refer to a sheep’s head stewed with onions as a “German duck,” while a bagpudding is a “Leiscestershlre plover” and “Norfolk capon” is eatinghouse slang for a herring. Following the same school of rough wit, the French call a herring a “poulet de careme” or “Lenten chicken” and the Italians reverse this process, referring to a chicken as a “fish out of the coop.” Nor is the custom by any means confined to European countries. The New England habit of speaking of codfish as “Cape Cod turkeys” and the current slang of “Irish confetti” for bricks are two other examples from the same school. So Welsh “rabbit” it should remain—on account of the fondness of the Welsh for toasted cheese aiyl not because it is a rare bit, or delicacy. (© by th. Wheeler Syndicate. Inc.)

BP Daddy's d£vei\ii\g Fairy Tale tSXMARY GRAHAM BOWER rw.TJO r> VUTUN NW«U 1111*11 — PUZZLED BIRDS "There were many birds,” said Daddy, “flying over a great and tall monument

K • I Ili tu'rr-1 I uMvilv I lE* “They Would Look Up.”

and crowds of people who wanted to go up to the top. And so the people were all about the monument in a line. Sometimes they would look up the side of the monument to the top. And it would almost seem as though the monument were moving and were standing sideways. For the height was so great that to look straight up at it made one feel rather dizzy and uncertain. “The people would, before long, go inside the monument. There they would take a great elevator and go up to the very top, and at the top they would look from out little windows and see below and far out to each side. “Some people would perhaps walk up the many, many, many stairs and reach the top of the monument that way, but most of them would take the elevator. It was what I did,” Daddy chuckled. “From out these windows the people below looked very strange and small. They were like so many little ants walking about to their work and their play. The trolley cars looked like small bugs and everything had a quite different look. As I’ve said the people were all waiting to get into the monument so they could go up and see the view from the top and also so they could say that they had been to the top of the monument, for it was quite a thing to add that to one’s list of things seen. All day the people came and stood in line and finally got up to the top. All day, and every day, for the monument was always there and people from all over came to visit it. They were sure that they would find it at home. There was no danger of the monument being out shopping such as there would bfe if they went to call on some of their frlqpds. . “To be sure the monument was out —or rather the outside of it was out. but it didn’t go off wandering. And between the hours of the morning and late afternoon it was ‘at home’ to visitors. “But as I also told you, there Were many birds flying about over it. “ ‘Well, well, well.’ said one bird as he swooped up and down and soared high and then came down rather low, ‘it is so funny to think of the people taking that elevator inside. “ ‘Why don’t tiiey fly up to see the view.? It is very puzzling to think of them taking that strange thing inside

which brings them up to the top sb that they poke forth their heads out of windows to see the sights up here. “ ‘They should get a pair of wings apiece, for I’ve noticed they haven’t wings with them. “‘Yes, the idea of coming up here so foolishly in that thing they call the elevator !’ said another

bird. “There Were “•They have to Many Birds." wait so long,’ said another bird, ‘when they do this way. If they’d get wings they’d just fly up here and see everything they wanted to, and I should think that in all places where there are monuments of height and of Importance they’d sell wings. £•> ‘i t ’ s very puzzling that they do it k) this slow fashion.’ said yet another Ijlrd who was flying about. ‘You’d think tiiat they’d be smarter.’ “‘Well,’ the first bird said, ‘I suppose they can’t help it, though it Is puzzling that they wouldn’t think of getting up here more quickly than by that silly, silly old elevator. I’m glad I don’t have to use it!’” Other Things Spread. The inspector was visiting the village school, and was testing the children’s knowledge of English words. They were doing quite well, until he asked if anyone would tell him what an epidemic was. There was a long silence. “Can no boy tell me?” asked the inspector. Again silence. “Well, I w’ill tell you. An epidemic is anything that spreads. Now, give me an example of an epidemic.” They had it this time. “Jam, sir!” shouted the class, in chorus. —Answers. Plumber's Harvest Season. “Now, Jimmy,” said the teacher in her most persuasive tones, “tell us when is the harvest season.” “From November to March,” said Jimmy with great promptness. “Why, Jimmy, I am surprised. Who told you that was the harvest seaeon?” “Pa. He’s a plumber.” Why Leaves Turn Rsd. Why do the leaves turn red in the fall? They are Just blushing because they have been so green all summer.

PRIDE IN SCHOOLS Dominant Feeling Among Settlers in Western Canada. Despite "Newness” of the Country, There Are No Better Institutions of Learning Anywhere. There is frequently hesitation expressed by those whose minds are almost made up to move to the agricultural lands of Western Canada, that the children will not enjoy the school privileges afforded them in their present surroundings. This is a reasonable doubt. The country is new. It is within the memory of many who w’ill read this that the bison roamed these prairies at will, that there were no railroads, no settlements beyond that of some of the Hudson Bay posts, a few courageous ranchmen and Indians. It was a country of unknown quantity. It is different today, and it has been made different in that short time because of the latent stores of wealth hidden in the land, which has been made to yield bountifully through the daring enterprise of the pioneer and the railways that had the courage to extend their enterprising lines of steel throughout its length and a great portion of its breadth. Villages and hamlets have developed into towns and towns into cities, supported and maintained by those who, coming practically from all parts of the world, and many, yes. thousands, from the neighboring states to the south, have taken up land that cost them but a trifle as compared with ’ what they were aide to dispose of the holdings upon which they had been living for years. These people brought with them a method in life that electrified and changed the entire Canadian West. Today things are different, and a trip to Western Canada ■ ill show a country new but old. New because chanj.es have been wrought that give to the newcomer the opportunity to become part or a growing and developing country—it gives the chance to say what shall be made of it; old because there has been brought into its life those things that have proven useful in older countries. while there has been eliminated everything that would tend to a backward stage. A writer, dealing with social matters, treats of the schools, and says: “Everywhere the school follows the plow. Cities which a few years ago were represented by scattered shacks are proud today of their school buildings. The web of education is being spread over the prairie. Lately, however, a new policy has been adopted. Instead of many rural schools, big central schools are being established, each serving an area of fifty square miles or so, and children who live a mile and a half away are conveyed thither in well-warmed motor cars. In the summer, of course, they come on “bikes” or ponies. “And the young idea is taught to shoot in many directions. The instruction is not limited to the three R’s, but nature study and manual crafts are taught, in order that the future agriculturist may have his educational foundation laid. Many rural Schools have pleasant gardens attached, with flower and vegetable beds, and the visitor to one such school deep in the country says she will never forget the pride with which a little lad showed her the patch of onions in his plot. Thrift is also taught in the 'Schools by mea T s of the dime hank. “Following the primary schools there are secondary schools, where training Is free. This includes classics, modern languages, science, mathematics, advanced English, and often agricultural, commercial, and technical subjects, and—but this concerns the girls—household economics. For three years this lasts, and then comes matriculation into the university, a matriculation which admits direct to the arts >r science degree, or the education nay be completed by a course in some special subject at a technical instiute.” —Advertisement. A Rural Contemporary Sings— The gentle bee is humming and the summer girl’s coming, while the sprinkling cart the street is going through, and the host of city people that in summer we shall keep’ll soon be coming up to spend a month or two. The hammock will be swaying in the breezes ’neath the treezes and the farmer will go haying in the meadow if he pleazes, and this rhyme would be completer if less rocky were the meter. —Boston Transcript.

YOUNG GIRLS NEED CARE

Mothers, watch your Daughters’Health

Health Is From the time a girl reaches the age of twelve until womanhood is established, she needs all the care a thoughtful mother can give. The condition that the girl is then passing through is so critical, and may nave such far-reaching effects upon her future happiness and health, that it is almost criminal for a mother or guardian to withhold counsel or advice. Many a woman has suffered years of prolonged pain and misery through having been the victim of thoughtlessness or ignorance on the part of those who should have guided her through the dangers and difficulties that beset this period. Mothers should teach their girls what danger comes from standing around with cold or wet feet, from lifting heavy articles, and from overworking. Do not let them over-study. If they complain of headache, pains in the back and lower limbs, they need a mother’s thoughtful care and sympathy. A Household Word in Mother’s House writes Mrs. Lynd, about Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. “My mother gave me Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound when I was 14 years old for troubles girls often have and for loss of weight Then after I married I took the Vegetable Compound before each child was bom and always when I felt the least run-down.

Parachute. Would you begin saying up to buy a flying machine if you were sure you wouldn’t fall? Probably. The airplane never will become generally used until it is made fool-proof, with most of its danger eliminated. Steps are being made in that direction. London experiments with this device: When a plane starts falling, the pilot jOrks out a pocket parachute. As the rush of wind opens it. the safety device lifts the pilot out of the falling machine and drops him gently to earth. The rest of us will wait until we have reasonable proof that the parachute will not fail to function at the crucial moment. - f FREEDOM FROM LAXATIVES Discovery by Scientists Has Replaced Them. Pills and salts give temporary relief from constipation only at the expense of permanent injury, says an eminent medical authority. Science has found a newer, better way—a means as simple .as Nature itself. In perfect health a natural lubricant keeps the food waste soft and moving. But when constipation exists this natural lubricant is not sufficient. Medical authorities have found that the gentle lubricating action of Nujol most closely resembles that of Nature’s own lubricant. As Nujol is not a laxative it cannot gripe. It is in no sense a medicine. And like pure water it is \-<E»less and pleasant. Ttljol is prescribed by physicians; used in leading hospitals. Get a bottle from your druggist today-. —Advertisement. REALIZED HIS BAD REPUTE Untrustworthy Man Had Good Reason for Wanting His Wife to Give Alarm for Fire. William Skaggs was "known as the most untrustworthy man in Klinkerville. He had never been caught in a malicious lie or in circulating even an unkind fact, only it seemed an impossibility for him to distinguish between fact and fiction, once his tongue was loosed. He was humbly aware of this shortcoming. Once a small outbuilding caught fire. He hurried for the water bucket, and called to his wife, “Run but to the road and holler fire ?’’ “Holler yourself!” she shouted back, while she ran with another pail. “Me!” he returned. “Who’d come if I hollered fire, I’d like to know?
