Now, instead OF living in the country alone
with nature, half their lives, knowing, feel

ago, by careful individual study, ! found that
60 per cent. Of the six-year-old children en-

Corn BreRd.


There have been efforts made in the
past by the agricultural department to
teach the Germans how to bake and
eat corn bread. The attempt to in
crease the consumption of maize by
this method has been failure and
never will be a success. In spite of en-
couraging reports sent to the depart
ment the fact remains that, although
a natural shortage Of other breadstuffs,
famine, or war may increase the con-
sumption of maize for bread, in all
cases it will be only temporarily. The
Germans do not eat hot bread, and the
other ingredients necessary to make
corn bread palatable are too expen-
sive and not within the reach OF the
poorer classes, for whom the bread is
ruainly intended. Maize bread does
not harmonic with the rest of the diet
generally preferred by the Germans
and to which they are accustomed.
Rye bread will always be the bread for
the majority of Germans, and bread

Mon and Women

Most women are inclined to be very lenient
to any offense on the part OF man which he
can make them believe springs from their at
tractiveness.
Every woman has an ideal husband before
marriage, and very real one after 1t.
Many a woman who has made n man un-
happy for a time by declining his otler OF
marriage has, afterwnrd, earned his eternal
gratitude for her discernment
To know some women Is TO know the whole
SEX They seem to combine in dazzling be-
wilderment the virtues and vices, the charms
and counter. charms, Of all womankind.
A married woman Is always wiser than an
unmarried woman; but 1t is often the wisdom
that comes from disappointment sorrow and
discontent.
Men, as a rule, long TO be loved only during
youth. In mature age they long for power,
and their longing 10 increased In proportion
to Its requirement. Their love OF women is
readily appessed; their love of power is in
satiable.
No woman Is capable of inspiring so intense
and lasting love as one who feels that she is
unlovable -Junius Henri Brorne, IN The Cen
tury for Nay.
