Dear NJ. B. FRIENDS:

DSVF III d. Eftcfths-
The poem seems to say: sin time of
need
Now the spring days are coming, al
though the snow visited US in April, and
may visit us again this month. We feel
the touch of spring in the air and see it in
the blue of the sky and hear it in the
song OF the birds; so nature wakes to new
life, and the miracle of swelling bud, and
opening leaf and freshening verdure re-
peats itself as it has done for centuries.
Watch the brown OF the hillside change
to green; the reddish tint of the tree-tops
change their shade, and the foliage ex-
pand as the suns rays warm the air and
coax the tiny shoots to look up and de-
veiop their powers. Study the lesson Of
the spring time, and make your individual
application Of it.
Susan's letters follow on in some such
line OF thought:
Dear aunt Madqe;
1t is raining and has rained for week
past; but we sure that it will clear off
sometime. for dark, wet clouds will not
spread over and above us forever. There will
be sunshine TOMORROW, and Nntu II snail
appear. how bright and beautiful it win be;
how pure and sweet the air because the storm
that had filed it has passed away, taking all
impurities with it, and left us the blessed
privilege OF bathing in the sunlight OF hope
and good cheer.
Days. after a good storm Of rain, are heart
lifters; our spirit is springed anew, and we
60 to our employment feeling that We had
been made over, somehow; and SO it becomes
easy for us to pour out our souls gratitude to
God for blessings received.
We must needs pass through dark valleys
in life's journey; but we know that there are
always two ridges where there is valley,
one on each side OF it. And so when we have
passed through the swamp land and gained
dry footing beyond, we are all right and have
a new le4se on opportunity. Hope arises,
and strength lost in wallowing in the bog.

Dear Aunf Aadoe:

Dear Aun Aadoe:
Having had some hard experiences recently
in the miserableness Of i'll health, and being
obliged to handle my stomach in the most
tender and careful way. it set me about to
see what could find to eat that could digest
and assimiiate; for what ate did me no good;
still my appetite was all 80. k"
was advised by my physician to go to our
grist mill and get some "break-stock". That
was a new one for me. ! went and found that
what | was told to get was simply wheat
ground into meal-there were three grades,
first, second and third. l selected the last
named; i thought the other two too course.
Now, then, this is whole wheat, but not
such you buy in the stores for whole
wheat, I'm thinking This is whole wheat in
fact. have had it made into gems, enough
at one time so l could have them warmed over
for two or three meals thereafter. have
found the warmed over ones the better. but
all are the finest feed know of, and easily
digested, and am getting better right along.
induced some of my near, and some OF my
more distant neighbors to try this break
stock. and every one of them is delighted
with it. One lady, native of Sullivan, told
me over the phone last night that had caused
her a peck of trouble. for she found it hard
work cooking enough to supply her John.
Now do not wish to cause my sisters trou BILE,
but it might be well for them to try some OF
this wheat meal in gem, biscuit and bread.
believe it is better than much medicine, and
will do away with lot of scolding that comes
from the stomach after awhile, if used right
along for bread.
Sisters. don't sift it. but mix it and make it
up the same way as gems, biscuit and bread
are made otherwise. SUSAN
