The world and you

make search for the information?
| could spend thousand dollars a
day making worldwide researches on
personal subjects. Have you some
thing you neither want nor need which
you will sell ard devote the proceeds
to systematic hunt for Immediately
useful information on some subject
which is now perplexing you?
While making some investigations
in an Ohio city a man told me how
he had spent eight years securing a
method to help him know more about
his business. Two blocks away |
found another man who had been hunt
ing two years for the same informa.
ton without securing it. AS 1t was
something the first man was willing
| should pass along l did so. These
men were strangers to each other and
so far as know have never met.
At that time was on technical sub
jects in the commercial field. I am
now devoting all of my time to per-
sonal subjects and this space is to
have the best I can secure. If news
paper or magazine, an organization
or an individual orders a special re-
port it is understood that after it has
been delivered a copy of 1t is to APP

Every day try to see, hear, think
or read something you wish or need
to know and in time this department
gets everything of general interest the
space will permit. If were to send
a dozen columns to hundred people
to have articles marked which inter
ested them some would be marked by
many and it may be all by some.
am having this done now as a test
and it should improve me. What have
you enjoyed the most and what the
least? To encourage me you might tell
me two you liked and only one you
did not care for.

reports on greater individual accuracy,

How to Cook Liver.

Here is an appetiZing way TO have
liver for a dinner, that may be new to
come. Cook or fry about three slices
of fresh pork to pound of liver, have
fried onions with it, and also a gravy

quite small pieces, put # altogether in
a deep dish with the onions and gravy
poured over. Don't buy the red liver,
1t Is not near as good as the yellow.
try it, and you will see; and don't
cook the liver the least bit too much,
as frequently happens; it will be so
different when just cooked through.

Painted Pins in Fashion AGAIN.

Miniature painted pins are again in
fashion, but this time they are of
copper instead of china.
They are mounted in gunmetal. all
shapes and sizes, and are prettier
than any miniature pin shown in

brooches, hat pins and coin cases.
The coin cases have the appear

rhinestones. On opening the case by

Frozen Meat.-When using frozen
meat the great point is to slowly and
thoroughly thaw it before cooking.
Mint Sauce.-When chopping mint
for mint sauce, add little sugar, and
you will be able to chop it far more
easily.
Brushes.-The backs of brushes of
silver or nickel can be kept bright by
rubbing with a flannel dipped in am
monia.
Fruit Tarts-Put the sugar used
for sweetening fruit tarts in the mid
die of the fruit not on The top, or it
will sodden the pastry.
Stale Loaves.-Wrap stale loaves in
a cloth. Dip into hot water for half a
minute, take off the cloth and bake
for a quarter of an hour in a steady
oven.
In the Wash.-The linen turns yell
low after washing because it is not
rinsed enough. The soap left in at the
laundry turns the garments yellow in
wear.

What the Carpenters
Son is doing for the
wagon makers boy.

No one seems able to tell me wheth.
er the light streak in the heavens
known as the Milky Way is like a
two tined fork or like ring split on
one side. 1t may be two rivers OF
stars uniting to form a main body
which runs to an ocean.
Where the two arms join the larger
part it Is known as the bifurcation of
the Milky Way. At this point is a
fixed star known as the sun. Around
the sun many big balls revolve and
one of these is called the earth. The
surface of the earth consists of land
and water, and for convenience in
studying it there are imaginary lines
drawn around it in two directions.
The land is divided into continents,
one of them being named North Amer
lea, near the center of which are FIVE
bodies of water known as lakes. One
of these lakes is called Erie, and some
Of those imaginary lines are named
parallels. At the junction of the south
shore of Lake Erie and the forty-sec-
ond parallel is a peculiar piece of land
known as the Triangle.
In this Triangle two churches united
one winter for the teaching of the
words of a man known as the Car
penter's Son, who had lived centuries
before and given his time and his life
to the creation and extension of better
methods. Near the churches lived a
wagon maker, who had an only child,
a boy dozen years of age. This boy
became interested in the words of the
Carpenters Son and year by year he
was helped by those words to over
come evil with good; to believe In
more than he knew; to seek and find
better methods; to study the whole
world and to believe in other worlds;
to be ever ready to try again; and to-
day he is helping others and being
helped by others on account Of the
