Cinnamon Rolls

'Ths is how I make cinnamon rolls:
Break bread dough when it is ready TO be
made into loaves, as large a piece as you
wish, and draw 1t out gently but firmly
with the hands until You have a square
sheet about one-quarter of an inch thick.
Butter the surface well; then take a tea
spoonful of cinnamon in one-half cup OF
sugar (well mixed and sprinkle over the
buttered dough. Cut into strips about an
inch wide and fold around so that the
cinnamon, etc. will be on the top of the
roll instead of through it. Then place in
a we'll creased tin not too crowded. Let
a few drops of cold water. run under them
into the pan and bake in a moderate oven
after the bread is out. 1t is best, when
done, to add a little more water under
them, and they will turn out easily.

TALKS ON THRIFT
HOW THE BANK HELPS

1t is one of the principal functions of
the bank to safeguard the money of the
depositor, and many times 1t thus pro-
tects money even from the owner him
self.
Another way the bank helps is In edu-
eating its depositors as to the earning
power of money. 1t Is not the desire of
any banker to have public money lie dor
msnt Those who deal with banks and
study their methods soon learn that the
success of the banker in setting money
to work is no more than the individual
may attain proportionally in handling his
own finances through the bank
When you deposit IN the bank, you will
find many factors of security for your
savings. For one thoing, bank officers
and directors are men of demonstrated
business success. Their combined or

are a depositor in the bank.

Chicks Need Heat

referring to the inelosed clipping
taken from the Corner. | should like to
offer the following suggestion:
my husband was raised on a farm and
has had a great deal of experience with
chicken raising. He thinks the trouble
with the chickens is that they are not
kept warm enough. Little chicks require
a great deal of heat and if they get chilled
1t will cause bowel trouble, such as Mrs
j. p. B. mentions. The chicken coop
must be kept at temperature of not less
than 10 degrees. and not allowed to fan
below that mark. OF course, there are va
rious ways of heating coop, but husband
thinks the most practical way would be to
have same wired and heated by electricity
which could probably be done at a nomi-
nal cost. In fact, IL there are many chick
ems 1t would pay her to do this. Or, ar
range to have a small heater or stove
placed in the coop so high that the chicks
would not be in danger of coming into
contact with 1t. Whatever system of heat
ing is adopted. let the temperature be kept
at 20 degrees.

Prune Cake

Men who make money fast often lose
it as quickly. They run risks and take
chances. They are under a nervous strain

Vittorla Colonna, Marchioness Pescara,
enjoyed an ideal friendship with Michelan-
gelo, the great Florentine painter. Wit
torla was born to the Duke and Duchess
of Urbino in 1890. When she was years
old her parents betrothed her to Ferrante
francesca d'Avalos, a Toy of the same
age and only son of the Marchese di
Pescara. In their nineteenth year they
were married. On the young brides side
at least 1t was love match. She was ten
derly attached to her handsome husband,
ignorant of his infidelities and blind to
his fatal faults of character.
The happiness of Vittoria was of short
duration, her husband was wounded and
made prisoner in the battle of Rayenna,
and though he returned to his wife for a
short interval, duty called him again to
the field of war in Lombardy in 1915, and
after this date the wife saw him but sell
dom. He died on November 20, 1925,
branded as a traitor
Michelangelo met vittoria very late in
life; In fact they were both beyond the
sentimental age, yet they loved most fer
venty, although always with dignity.
Some writer's give as the date OF their
meeting, 1888, but others give an earlier
date as the time their famous intimacy
began. In 1888 the artist would have been
63 and Vittoria 4S. The only letters ex-
tant which Michelangelo sent to Vittoria
belong to the year 1915, when he was 70
years of age.
The first letter dated Rome is as fol-

four lines of which are as follows;

Quickenest my heart, SO old and near to

Who mid thy joys on me dost bend an

you that 1 am mighty pleased that the

you have drawn SO well and exquisitely,
and praying you to hold me yours to COM
mand as yours in all and for ALL"
1t seems the artists exchange of letters
and poems became at last too urgent.

gentle hint that he Is taking up too
much of her time
Magnificent Messer Michelangelo:

cause it was, as one might say, an answer
to my last; for thought that If you and
were to go on writing without intermis-
sion l should have to neglect the Chapel
of st. Catherine here. Inasmuch as I am
well assured of your steadfast friendship
and firm affection. I do not think it IS
necessary to obtain the proof of your
good will in letters by writing on my side
but rather to await with well prepared
mind some substantial occasion for serv-
ing you.'

had ever placed there.

your situation is similar to those outlined
in the succeeding paragraphs.
Possibly you have certain fixed pay
ments to make. Most persons have life
insurance premiums to pay at stated
times. Many, right after mating one
payment begin to prepare for the next.
Every week or every month little money
is deposited In the bank and when the
premium again becomes due, the money
is there to meet it-and along with II a
little interest.
Some persons have loans on which in
terest is due or payments must be made
every year or every six months, and in
order to be sure of meeting these pay
ments they deposit a little money when
the pay envelopes comes in and as the
payments become due the money is on
deposit to meet them.
Perhaps you have cildren and are plan
ming to educate them; perhaps you wish
