three hours. They must be soft sc
they a be run through fruit press
Now add butter and seasoning to
strained pulp and serve as soon as
all has boiled up once. Standing thick

Two cupfuls of water (for soaking).
One small onion.
One medium-sized potato.
Two tablespoonfuls of butter.

Pepper to taste.
Water as needed.
Soak beans over night in two cupfuls
of water; In morning pour off If there

TRUE SYMPATHY

The field of sympathy is broader
than hat Of suffering only. Broad
| sympathy includes rejoicing with the
joyful as well as mourning with the
sorrowful.
The latter comes more easily to most
Of us, for there is In us an instan-
taneous impulse to pity people in dis
tress. Richter once said: I'm order to
feel with another's pain, 1t is enough
to be a man; to feel with another's
pleasure, it is needful TO be an angell"
Perhaps this Is due partly to the
fact that success. unfortunately, often
provokes envy which is sometimes
difficult to hide. Then, too. In suffer-
ing we can think Of means of assist
ance; In Joy there is no need of any
Sympathy must not be limited to
those we love. We need not be urged
to feel for them. Their troubles are
truly our troubles. A friendly pressure
of the hand and the words, II under
stand,' followed by an earnest en-
deavor to help-that is Easy when we
love.
But true sympathy is broader; 1t
includes feeling for all suffering. ire
spective of the fact that we do or do
Lot care personally for the suffering.
That is a difficult condition to attain.
but it should be striven for.

HOUSEHOLD
TALKS
Henrietta
{. Cfana

There is a conflict of opinion as to
the best way to cook parsnips. Ono
excellent housewife says: "Serape
them before putting them TO boil in
cold sailed water. and when half done
change the water, putting them on
again in cold water"
That makes them soggy," SAYS Mrs.
D.. I put them to cook without pairing
Or scraping, cook them straight ahead
without changing the water, but we
only like them when they are young
and tender"
The results of my experiments are
that parsnips need to be parboiIed I'M
less very young. They have a better
flavor if scraped after they are cooked.
Much Of their starch or meal lies next
to the skin. and this is lost in evapo-
ration if they are skinned and then
cooked. The first water should be cold
and sailed; the second should be boil
ing and sailed. The water should be
drained off the moment the vegetable
Is tender. My housewifely friends can
decide for themselves which method is
preferable.
After they are boiled or steamed
tender they may be finished in any
Of the following ways and will be bet

Treatment for Indigestion.
Dear Miss Doom:

Dear Miss Doom:
Kindly print in your valuable paper
a good remedy for indigestion. You
had Il In the paper some time
ago but failed to notice 1t, so I ask
you to please do me this great favor,
as l an a bad sufferer with said trouble.
Hoping you will oblige me and thank
Ing you In advance. yours very truly,
MRS. ]. B.
First of all you must chew your food
thoroughly. A small quantity we'll
masticated has more nutritive value
thai a large quantity swallowed hasti-
ly. Take plenty of time for your meals,
making them occasions for social in
tercourse n not duties to be finished
as hastily as possible. Avoid rich
gravies, pastries, all foods that disagree
with you and tea and coffee. Try to
avoid drinking with our meals. If the
food is chewed properly the saliva will
moisten 1t without the aid of other
liquids. Eat plenty of fruits and vege-
tables, especially apples and lettuce.
Immediately upon arising in the
morning take at least two cups of
water as hot as you can possibly drink
1t. If it is merely luAxewarm it will
tend to produce ausea. Drink at least
three pints of cold water between
breakfast time and retiring. II you are
troubled with Indigestion after eating
slowly sip a cup of hot water.
Do not lie down Immediately after
meals or do anything that necessitates
bending over. for the latter position
contracts the stomach and prevents di-
gestion.
Proper breathing will do much
toward keeping the digestive apparatus
in good working order. Immediately
upon arising put on a loose bathrobe.
assume an upright position, with head
we'll up and with lips close inhale and
exhale the fresh air that comes from
an open window. Repeat this breath
ing exercise a number of times, and
during the day, especially when you
are out in the air try to take deer
breaths through the nose. Following
the mornings breathing exercises, sit
astride a chair, facing the back and
holding the chair to give f1rmness, twist
the top part of the body first one way
and then the other, not moving the
lower part of the body on the chair.
This should be done for from three to
five minutes. 1t is highly recommended
as an exercise for Indigestion, as 1t
stimulates the lower organs However,
it must never be done when the body
is restricted by tight clothing.
A very small quantity of bicarbonate
of soda, say a quarter OF a teaspoon
full, to a half a w~ineglass of cold water
will often relieve indigestion. Charcoal
tablets T also highly recommended
for this trouble.
I sincerely hope that some of this
advice will help you.

A Deplorable Case.
Dear Miss Doom:

Dear Miss Doom:
1 would like to ask you for a little
advice. I am a married woman and
have two children, a girl of 10 years
and a boy 5, but my husband doesn't
treat me right. He doesn't work much,
and we nave a hard time to get along
In the winter, but in the summer he
works a little. He has a terrible tenn
per and calls me some terrible names,
breaks the dishes and tears up my
clothes. He says he is tired of me. 1
want to leave him, as l can't stand
him. He tells me to go, as he is
sick of me. I would like to take the
children, but / cannot support them
both. Would you leave them with him
or what would you do. 1 love them
dearly. Remember, I have put up with
this a long time. When he works l
have to give an account of every cent
L spend. Hoping to hear from you as
soon as possible, I remain,
MRS. K. L. C.
It II unfortunate that men such as
you describe your husband to be are
allowed outside of a jail. From what
you say Of him it would be unjust to
your children to leave them with him
should you decide to separate from him
and It would be equally unjust to you
to continue to live with him under the
conditions. AS long as you remain un-
der the same roof you have no remedy
other than an appeal to the overseer
Of the poor. which will mean that your
husband will be summoned to court,
and, If O insist, will be placed under
bond to support you and you children.
Failing to give bond he will be sent
to jail. That will leave you in a worse
-predicament than you are in now. for
you will be called upon to support your
two children without any help at all
from your husband. On the other hand,
IL you leave him you have no grounds
upon which to compel him to contribute
to your support. Why not go to the
pastor of your church, put the whole
sad circumstances before him and ask
him to speak TO your husband? There
are few men, however hardened, who
will refuse to listen to an appeal coming
from such a source.
Il II his i'll treatment of you continues,
my advice is to obtain a position, put
the little boy in a day nursery and ar
range for one of the neighbors to give
the girl her lunch when she comes
home from school. OF course, it will
be hard for you and the children to
live on your earnings at first, but as
long as the money supplied by your
husband is insufficient for your ex-
penses it will be but a continuation of
the struggle, devoid Of the abuse. An
other advantage of this plan is that
when the children are old enough to be
of help to you financially they will not
be forced to come home at night to a
house where disoord reigns.

women still affect the straight in line and simple in decoration when out or a

sides. Back and front the rim dips toward the face and nape of the neck re-

An English walking hat that is a smart model is of fine Dunstabe straw
