ITO understand the working value

ton from personal or business

ent respects. With sigh OF relief,
the driven employer accepts without
question the recommendation of his
friend, gives the girl the desired op-
portunity and dismisses the lords of
applicants.
"A strong letter of recommended
ion to the city man will command
attention. Fairly or unfairly you will
be given the preference over appli.
cants who have had more experience.
This is the give-and.take policy CT

But make no mistake! Once he
has given you the position, his re.

MEAT SUBSTITUTES FOR LENT

Some vegetables are perfect meat
foods, such as wheat, rice. barley,
oats. corn, also nuts, split peas.
cheese, dried beans. lentils. macar-
oni. eggs and milk, raisins, dates.
figs and bananas. these however,
must be served in the proper amount
as too much meat or too much nitro
genous foods of any kind. peas.
beans, etc. require the liver to ov-
erwork, creating the necessary bile
in order to work the waste out of
the system.
Most people consume as much en-
ergy in getting rid of worthless food
as they do in hard days labor. Re-
member as we grow older, no USE
less working of the machinery should
be allowed.
1t is most important to have all
foods properly combined, SO | am ad-
ding some menus using vegetables
to take the place OF meat and the
salads and desserts, which combine
well with them. These have .aken
from my booklet on Right Living

The successful and progressive cit

always anxious to assist the new

want to develop and improve the

to be operated under the direction Of
the extension division Of the Agri.
cultural college, in order that the de-
velopment In that section might be
done scientifically, and that the hun.
dreds OF new settlers may not be
obliged to do all the experimental
work which Is so costly. A promi-
nent citizen of Brigham City said:
We are convinced that a govern
ment demonstration farm in our
county would do more good to more
people than II established any other
place in the state. We have hun
dreds OF thousands of acres Of fine
sagebrush land. that should be wheat
fields, and although hundreds are
farming successfully, yet We know
they are not obtaining the maximum
results. We believe the object Of
these demonstration farms is to as
sist the farmer. That being the
case, there is no doubt but that a
station in our county would accom-
plish the object Of its creation.
We need 1t, and intend to do our
level best to get 1t.
Such improvements are worth
while, but the Box Elder people are
indeed, awake to the opportunities of
their county and although their
peaches are the best in the world,
they want to establish another rec.

ABAD MISTAKE MADE
BY A GIRL LOOK
ING FOR A JOB

In very interesting and practical
talk to business girls, in the March
Woman's Home Companion, the auth
or tells the following story:
"A girl brought to a busy woman
of considerable influence the sort of
letter none Of us can ignore This
partner and practical worker in a
successful business had at the mo-
ment no opening nor did she happen
to know of one in other offices. But
she realized that openings appear on
the business horizon without much
warning. She made out list Of per.
sonal and business acquaintances
who might make use of such services
as the newcomer offered and told the
girl to call on each Of these persons.
Tell them Mrs. Robbins sent you"
was her final order.
she did not consider it necessary
to inform the girl that In each case
she would telephone parties named
and advise them of the girls coming.
Il hope you will be fortunate, she
said In Diminishing her caller. Let me
hear from you and II hear of any
opening not On this list will notify
you at once
She is the type of woman who
does not talk nor sympathize nor
make unthinking promises. She gets
results.
The girl did not under stand this
She went back to her boarding place
railing against the ineffectiveness Of
introductions and the callousness of
city women who merely pass you on
from one to another to get rid of you.
So in a half hearted way she follow
ed up just about half the names on
the list.
Finally one evening the busy wo.
man to whom she had carried her
original letter of introduction called
her on the phone.
Did you get a chance at that open
ing in the accounting department of
the Morgan Hardware Company
What opening?' answered the girl
blankly. The Morgan Hardware Com
pany was among the names on the
list which she had not followed up
She tried to think up an effective ex'
cuse but only succeeded in faltering
Why, l didn't go there. thought il
you heard of anything you would let
me know at once
And thought explained the busy
woman to friends later, that If a girl
really wanted position she would
follow up every suggestion; but II
seems that the girl armed with a let
ter Of introduction thinks that it com
mands position handed to her on q
silver platter"
