Delicious Small Cakes,

Life is too hard to make lady fingers
these busy days. The recipes are very
like sponge and angel cakes, only beat,
en- for one or two hours, then put
through forcer. Use sponge cake or
cream sponge cake. Sprinkle lightly
with powdered sugar, bake and put
together with strip, just ready to
harden, fondant or icings. Darky fin
gers are made from chocolate or dark
marble-cake batter Tiny cream-puff
shells, with berries or peaches, and
whipped-cream filling, peanuts, cocoa
nut, almond or plain cookies, cut in
long, narrow strips or fancy, are very
satisfactory. For rich cakes use pound
gold, sunshine or angel cake, bake In
individual fancy tins, ice and decorate
You can cut these cakes in squares,
rounds or diamonds. With skewers
dip each piece in frosting. Have mo-
cha, chocolate, pistachio, almond, rose
vanilla, and cherry or nut on top
Slice one or one and a half inches
thick, very evenly.

HIGH PLACE FOR OLD MAID
Surely Reward for Their SeIf-Sacrifice
and Disinterestedness Must Await
Them in Future State.

How many churches have been built
by the charity of old maids; how
many schools supported; how many
homes cheered by their presence; how
much good seed sown by their hand,
how many prayers for others heard
from their lips! Many flower that
shall bloom loveliest in the land where
we all hope to be, will have been
nursed and tended by those who had
no physical loneliness that could win
our admiration here, and whose ten
der, gentle heart may have been
wounded by some stray shaft of our
silly sarcasm. At certain great har-
vest home, where the reapers shall
be no longer men, and the sickles
shall flash in a brighter sunlight than
that of earth, many humble one from
the ranks of old maidendom shall have
more right to join in the jubilant har-
vest hymn than those whom, Diana
like, the whole world worshiped. 1t
is possibly a pity that any women
should have to pass through life with
out the most exquisite sensibilities OF
woman's nature being developed in
her. But it is good thing for many
church, and happy thing for many
a home, that there have been old
maids in their midst-heroines in a
high and noble sense, in whose heart
passion has been lost in principle, who
have been welded by a higher than
priestly hand to all that is good and
true.-Boston Transcript.

CAUSE AND EFFECT
Good Digestion Follows Right Food.

INDIGESTION and the attendant dis
comforts of mind and body are GER
tain to follow continued use Of I'M
proper food.
Those who are still young and ro-
bust are likely to overlook the fact
that, as dropping water will wear
stone away at last, so will the use OF
heavy, greasy, rich food, finally cause
loss of appetite and indigestion.
Fortunately many are thoughtful
enough to study themselves and note
the principle Of cause and effect IN
their daily food. A N. Y. young wom-
an writes her experience thus:
Sometime ago 1 had lot of trou-
BILE from indigestion, caused by too
rich food. I got SO l was unable to
digest scarcely anything, and medl-
cines seemed useless.
"a friend advised me to try Grape
Nuts food, praising 1t highly and as
a last resort, tried it, l am thankful
to say that Grape-Nuts not only re-
lieved me of my trouble, but built NE
up and strengthened my digestive or

RETURN TO CHOCOLATE
AGAIN FAvoRITE BEVERAGE FOR
AFTERNOON TEAS.
Better Than Coffee, and Women Have
Grown a Little Tired of Tea-May
Be Served With Wheat Bis
cult or Mullins.

Ten or a dozen years ago chocolate
served with a dash of whipped cream
was the great American beverage-as
far as afternoon teas, receptions and
bridge parties were concerned. EV-
erybody served chocolate and in
round of afternoon calls one might
partake of half dozen hospitable
cupfuls of the inevitable chocolate
and-whipped-cream. the chocolate
varying from a rich, thick brown mix
ture suggesting the Mexican chocolate
beaten with a wooden spoon to thin
connection made Of prepared cocoa
and hot water.
Women became a bit tired Of the
eternal chocolate after while-and
also found that 1t was fattening. Then
afternoon tea with lemon, or dash
of rum, became the fashionable after
noon drink For the lastefew years,
since every housekeeper has yearned
to possess one of the fascinating cop
per percolators that have such coy
hum--next best to the song of ket-
tie on the hearth-coffee has been
the beverage served in the late after
noon. But coffee, with sugar, cream
and sweet cakes, is quite as fattening
as chocolate, and not nearly so nour-
fishing. In fact, a good many women
have been realizing lately that their
nerves" and attendant depression
and irritableness with children and
servants may be blamed on the strong
coffee and sweet cakes taken almost
every day just before dinner time.
Chocolate, served with crisp, whole
wheat biscuit, or buttered mullins, Is
becoming more and more popular, and
attractive new chocolate sets are ap-
pearing In the china departments.

Many images of wrong must of neces-
sity come to the young; let them not
be multiplied in our feverish and NOR
bid fashion of today. Above all, let
them be crowded out by constant sug-
gestion Of noble images and noble
thought, which will work consciously
and subconsciously, shaping the dream
when the dreamer is least aware. To
hold up before the ardent and i'm
questionable young that which they
may become in strength, in purity,
would surely be better than placing
before them this perpetual moving
picture show of our civic and national
transgressions. 1 can only believe, as
l read article after article of exposure.
that this continued presentation to
youth of the unhoiy side of life, with
our increasing tendency to make edu-
cation a mere matter of the intellect
and of the eye, is bound to lessen the
moral energy of the race. Would it
not be better if we were more diligent
in searching history, philosophy, liter
allure, for whatsoever things are
pure, whatsoever things are lovely,
whatsoever things are of good report.

NEED CARE IN YOUTH
CHiLDREN'S EYES SHOULD BE
CAREFULLY LOOKED AFTER.
Lifelong Annoyances and Serious In
jury to Physical Health May Fro
quentIy Be Avoided II the Mat
ter Is Taken in Time.

Childhood is the period of develop.
ment from which man is evolved. AT
this time of life all the organs are
fmpressionable and they may be
easily injured by overwork or abuse.
Many parents are culpably negli
gent of their children's eyes, early at
tention to which would very often OBJ
viate lifelong annoyances and posi-
bly, injury to physical health.
Former President Roosevelt writes
the following in a recent issue of Out
look magazine:
Quite unknown to myself, I was,
while a boy, under a hopeless disad-
vantage in studying nature. l was
very nearsighted, so that the only
things l could study were those l ran
against or stumbled over.
When 1 was about twelve was al
lowed to take lessons in taxidermy. 1t
was this summer that 1 got my first
gun and it puzzled me to find that my
companions seemed to see things to
shoot at which I could not see at all.
One day they read an advertise
ment in large letters on distant
billboard, and then l realized that
something was the matter, for not
only was l unable to read the sign,
but could not even see the letters.
Il spoke of this to my father and
spectacles, which literally opened an
entirely new world to me. l had no
idea how beautiful the world was un.
til l got those spectacles.
"The recollection of this experience
gives me keen sympathy with those
who are trying in our public schools
and elsewhere to remove the physical
causes of deficiency in children who
are often unjustly blamed for being
obstinate or unambitious or mentally
stupid
Optometry has slowly and surely
progressed along similar lines to those
of medicine, law and dentistry, and
today its recognition as profession
is assured by the spirit of it's many
progressive practitioners, who are con-
tinually perfecting methods and de-
vices for the accurate application of
its theoretical principles.
Much of the suffering due to eye
strain would be relieved if the one
so afflicted would consult the opto-
metrist, who is now being rapidly rec
ognized by the world as the exclusive
eye strain specialist.

HINTS FOR BUSY HOUSEWIFE
How to Give CauIifIower a Better Fla
vor-Softening Shoe Polish
Smoking Oil Stoves.

To give cauliflower a better flavor
cook it in milk and water-it will also
look whittier than when just cooked In
water.
To insure the bluing being evenly
distributed in making blue rinse water
for clothes, add little salt to 1t.
To soften shoe polish that has be-
come quite dry in keeping, moisten Il
with little turpentine. This softens
the polish, making it disable at once,
and also gives good gloss to the
leather
To prevent oil stoves from smoking,
dissolve one tablespoonful of common
salt in every pint Of paraffin oil that
you use. This gives a much cleaner
light, and prevents the stove from
rusting when stored away.
