(©, 1928, Western Newspaper Union.) To live in love is to live in everlasting youth. Whoever enters old age by this royal road will find the last of life to be the very best of life. Instead of finding himself descending the hills of life, he will find it up hill all the way, into clearer air. There the vision reaches further; there the sunsets are more golden, and the twilight lasts longer. NOVEL HOT BREADS Hot breads add much to the pleasure of breakfast, luncheon and that

coziest of all meals, the informal Sunday night supper. With a hot drink of tea, coffee or cocoa and a jam or marmalade, one can almost make a meal of hot

BO

bread, if there is enough of It. Muffins, waffles, biscuits and scones are all well known, but have you tried these: Sunday Hot Bread.—Cream together three-fourths cupful of sugar, two tablespoonfuls' of butter, one-fourth teaspoonful of salt, add one egg well beaten and mixed with two-thirds' of a cupful of milk, then add one and onehalf cupfuls of flour, sifted with three teaspoonfuls of baking powder, add two tablespoonfuls of orange juice and spread the mixture with granulated sugar and the grated rind of an orange. Bake twenty to twenty-five minutes In a hot oven. Serve hot. Orange Waffles.—Cream one-half cupful of butter with one cupful of sugar, add two beaten eggs. Sift tw’O and one-half cupfuls of flour with one teaspoonful of cinnamon, add alternately to the first mixture with onehalf cupful of sour milk to which a teaspoonful of soda has been added. Add the juice and rind of an orange and bake on a hot waffle iron. Serve with orange marmalade. Golden Corn Bread.—Sift together one cupful of flour, one cupful of corn meal, one-half cupful of sugar, two and one-half teaspoonfuls of baking powder, add one-hills cupful of milk and one-half cupful of orange juice. Mix well and add the beaten yolk of an egg and two tablespoonfuls of melted butter. Bake in a moderate oven forty to fifty minutes. j Rice Delight.—Add one-fourth of a । cupful of cooked rice, one cupful of i scalded milk, one beaten egg, cook : over water until smooth and the egg ■ is cooked, adding three tablespoonfuls | of sugar, salt to taste, one-half cup- . ful of orange juice and a little of the rind. Serve with whipped cream. Planked Meats. It is necessary for many cooks to get away from the idea that planked

meats are fussy and too much bother to prepare. The contrary Is true. With a good well seasoned plank kept for meats

alone. another for fish, one has a convenience which may be used frequently and Is always a welcome dish on the dinner table. Steaks and chops are expensive but there are any number of good things that one can prepare with leftovers or small pieces of meats as well as the cheaper cuts. The great advantage of the planked food is that the entire main part of the meal can be served on it thus eliminating several serving dishes. Another point not to be forgotten Is that the plank holds the heat much longer than the usual platter, so the food is kept hot. The more a plank is used the better and more valuable It is. An eighteen inch plank will serve four generously, and six If other dishes such as a substantial salad are served. Planked Chicken.—Cut up a fowl and stew as usual, adding plenty of seasoning. Remove the larger bones i and roll the meat in seasoned flour, place on a plank and surround with mashed potato piped around in nests, in which to place hot buttered peas, just before serving. Prepare the mashed potato as usual, adding to each quart two egg yolks and the I stiffly beaten whites, added at the last. ‘ Dot the chicken with fat and brown In the oven. Fill the nests ano serve. Planked Ham.—Take broken slices (these being less expensive), cut into two-inch pieces. Rub the ham with a mixture of mustard, brown sugar, a clove of cut garlic and a little vinegar. Place on a hot plank and surround with halved sweet potatoes which have been spread with sugar sirup and dotted with butter. Fill the spaces between with flowerets of cauliflower, sprinkled with grated cheese. Bake as usual. Planked Lamb.—Take two pounds of the neck of lamb, cut into pieces and cook in boiling water to which salt, peppercorns, celery, onion, mint or bayleaf have been added. When tender cool and drain; roll in seasoned flour after removing the bone, if desired. Place on a hot greased plank with molds of curried rice surrounding it. Dot each mold with butter and place hot buttered carrots and peas between the molds of rice. Bake as usual and serve garnished with parsley. An oak plank is considered the best and should be well seasoned before using. Beyond Recall Lost —Somewhere between sunrise and sunset, two golden hours, each J set with GO diamond minutes. No reward Is offered, for they are gone forever.—Horace Mann. I . Confederate Memorial ' After the evacuation of Richmond, the archives of the Confederacy were removed to Danville, Va. The building used by President Jefferson Davis as his last capltol became a Confedi erate memorial and museum.

DLAIDS and checks, for which there * is such unbounded enthusiasm, are rigid in their element in the junior realm. To lie sure, there Is nothing startling in the thought of plaids until one sees them In their array of new colorings. According to foreseeing colorists this is to be a “blue” season and many of the smartest plaids and checks confirm this prophecy. Miss Junior in choosing a spring coat for school wear will be proving that she knows a thing or two about “style" if she requests to be shown a plaid carried out in shades of blue. If it be belted in navy suede after the manner of the model In the picture. It will have achieved the utmost degree of chic. Among featured materials for youthful coats, basket weaves are given special prominence. Light tan shades predominate in these loosely woven woolens. Many coats, especially those of navy twill or kasha cloth, are accompanied with print silk or crepe dresses which

TO BE sure, no normal beauty-lov-ing woman is going to jyithstand the lure of lace and ribbons and all sorts of delightfully frivolous fol de rols, when it comes to assembling a collection of dainty underthings. Indeed, no up-to-date lingerie wardrobe would be complete without its generous quota of filmy, fragile lace-laden garments. However, when it comes to the genuinely practical, there is no type which insures the service and ever-prettiness as does the garment which is tailored with utmost simplicity. As an exponent of the practical type the bodice-chemise set in the picture captures one’s fancy, because while it is tailored, its artfully scalloped hemline gives it a daintily trimmed aspect. For the making of this garment the woman who does her own sewing could successfully use either washable crepe satin or crepe de Many Printed Dresses The many printed dresses offered for spring are in flat and the usual crepe types and with georgette used Instead of chiffon in the majority of cases.

chine. While it would be in perfect accord with fashion’s idea to choose a delicate tint, say flesh, blue, maize or nile green for this garment, the latest message from headquarters tells of a revived interest in white. If one is inclined toward the thoroughly practical, there is one material above all others which answers this call, namely, pongee. No argument is necessary to convince the woman who has once put pongee to the test, of its winsome qualities as a medium for utilitarian underwear. Not only does it launder both easily and perfectly, but besides being always spick-and-span looking, it is exquisitelj cool and refreshing to wear. Specialty shops are showing most intriguing pajama ensembles, costume slips and gowns of pongee. These in elude garments for children as well as grown-ups. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.

Drought Is Not Always Harmful Insufficient Moisture for One Crop May Be Ample for Another. (Prepared by the United Statea Department of Agriculture.) The term “drought,” as applied co a lack of moisture in the soil for proper plant growth, embraces many conditions which differ with each type of agriculture. What may constitute Insufficient moisture for one sort oi crop, or one part of the country, may be ample for another crop grown in different soil or in a different climate, says the weather bureau of the United States Department of Agriculture. In the East, where precipitation Is usually well distributed, a period of 30 days without beneficial precipita tion constitutes a drought, which would be especially bad if the subsoil were not well supplied with moisture ut the beginning of the drought period. Over the Pacific coast states possible drought Is chiefly In the colder half of the year. Hurts Nonirrigated Crops. A generally dry winter season may be disastrous to nonirrigated crops. In the central valleys and Great plains, drought during the early spring months will greatly diminish the wheat yield, and drought in midsummer brings disaster to the corn cron. A short period of drought in the eastern part of the country during the early spring months will frequently greatly curtail the hay crop, but may not seriously injure wtraf; In fact. It may prevent excissive straw growth. A period of drought may be beneficial to corn in Its early growth, forcing the root? to greater depths. Drought of short duration mny be quite disastrous to corn when it follows a wet period Immediately preceding the formation of tlu ear, when abundant moisture Is required. If previous wet weather Ims caused the root system to develop near the surface. the supply of moisture available in the subsoil mny not be reached in time to prevent lose. May Benefit Cotton. Moderate drought is not always nssedated with scanty production, it may prove beneficial to cotton by hindering the activity of Inject pests that do not multiply in dry weather. If the cotton plant remains somewhat dormant during drought and resume” growth promptly when moisture is supplied, the cr< p may develop after tin- period of worst Imvct Infestation is over. Early droughts are particularly detrimental to m<>st truck and smallfruit crops, as grow tli and develop men! of these are usually rapid and any material interruption is decidedly harmful. Development of a Plan Needed for flood Garden The first step toward making a sue ce<sful garden is the development of a plan showing the general arrangement, direction of rows and area devoted to the different crops. More economical use may be made of the urea avail able by planning f«r succession, com panion and Intercropping. For exam ph . a crop of late N ets may be plat te l lifter a crop of early pea-' have been harvested or a crop of lettuce may be taised between the tomato plants ami gathered before the tomato plants need nil the space. Fresh peas, beans and corn may be had over a longer period by making several plantings at intervals of two weeks or by planting early, midseason and late varieties. Tfie likes and dislikes of the members of the family should be considered and selections made accordingly. o ^o»-o-*o»-o»-o<c>-»"C > o-»-c-»-c-*o-< o-*o ♦ Agricultural Hints ?

Fanning Mill to Clean Seed Most Satisfactory A few hours spent indoors cleaning seed with a fanning mill may save many days in the hot sun next summer and will pay handsome dividends in the form of bigger and better crops. A farm fanning mill operated at the correct speed and equipped with the proper sieves and screens is capable of doing an excellent job of cleaning clover, alfalfa and other seeds. Since experiments have shown that the main object of cultivation after the preparation of the seed bed is the eradication of weeds, and since most weeds are introduced by means of impure seed, the use of cleaned seed will save a great deal of future work. The value of a good fanning mill In cleaning farm seeds has been demonstrated by hundreds of farmers.
