A New Kind OF Potato Salad.

Wash and scrub, but do not pare,
six medium-sized potatoes and cook
them in salted boiling water until not
quite done; not raw and hard, but
just so they will not be mealy. Let
them cool in their skins, When cold,
peel them, divide lengthwise in
quarters and slice as thin as pos
sible into a bowl. Have ready one
medium=sized onion (Bermuda), peel
ed and shredded fine, also one cup
ful of thinly-sliced celery, II in sea-
son, and one sweet green pepper,
freed from seeds and white pith and
scalded two minutes and minced.
To each layer of potato add a
sprinkling Of the mixed vegetable,
shake on salt and pepper or cayenne,
as II you were seasoning 1t at table;
add one tablespoonful Tor more If the
potato will absorb iD of olive-oil
and a scant tablespoonful of vinegar.
In this way materials are mixed
without making the potato mushy.
When all the potatoes are sliced, toss
up lightly with two forks and set
away in a cold place to ripen till
serving time.
Then taste and add more salt, oil
or vinegar as needed. Potatoes, IL
allowed to stand in the dressing, will
absorb large amount of oil and al
so of vinegar, and the salad is much
richer and more palatable than one
quickly prepared with half of the
oil left on the plate. Remember in
this, as in all salads, to add oil first,
that the vegetable may absorb it, for
If wet first with the vinegar the oil
simply rolls off. Arrange on a salad
dish, garnish with border of crisp
lettuce, the stem ends stuck in un-
der the potato; II you wish to make
a more substantial dish of it, cover
the salad with sifted yolk. of hard
boiled egg and rirgs or slivers of the
white; or serve little mayonnaise

Waldron calculates IN his Handbook
OF Currency and Wealth that in the
United States more than four mil
lion families, comprising nearly a
third OF the nation, must get along on
annual incomes of less than four
hundred dollars per family; more than
one-half of all the families OF the
United States get less than six hun
dred dollars; two-thirds OF the fam
lilies get less than nine hundred dol
lars, while only one in twenty of the
nations families is able to obtain
an income OF over three thousand dol

The Joy Of Life

The Joy Of Life.
I do not wish Tor riches vast
Nor fame or high estate;
I do not care when | walk past,
To have men call me great
The Joy OF life Is all I ask.
In perfect peace to dwell; "
Beneath tho summer sun TO bask
To live and dream a spell.
Good health ls but my one desire,
with Just a friend or two;
A wife TO love me and inspire,
In what I have to do,
The JOY OF living IL enough.
No grrateT boon can be-
Then, though my roads be e'er so rough.
Content shall dwell with me.
For one need not be rich or great
or even known TO fame
Round humble cot or vast estate
Earth's glOries are the same.
The same sun shines upon us all,
The same stars CLEAN at night
The flowers that deck the garden wall
The poorest man may sight.
Then grant 10 me the JOY OF life,
And I'll not ask for more
For in the heat OF bitter strife,
i know when n is DER,
Beneath Gods sky III take my rest
And glory In its blue;
With peace and love within my breast
As God meant we should do.
