warm water until all traces of soap

The washed piece should look almost

PROPER CREDIT TO NOBODY
Simple Logic Easily Proves That He
Has Not Hitherto Been Treated
With Justice.

The time is now arrived when No
body should come to his own. Hitherto
Nobody has not been treated with JUS
tice. AS one of the most important
persons in America, Nobody should
have statues erected in all of our
principal cities. Let us, therefore.
consider the claims of Nobody. In the
first place, Nobody knows. Take, for
example, the currency bill, the tariff
schedules, the status of philosophy,
or the art of the futurist Nobody
knows about all of these things, when
all the rest are in entire ignorance.
Furthermore, if you want to know the
actual truth about these important
questions, and many more, Nobody is
the only one who can tell you. Every
body takes some interest in baseball.
movies, vaudeville. bridge and high
balls; but when it comes to all the
things which are known as vital, such
as government. slums. ETC., who cares
Why Nobody cares. Nobody is, there
fore, our best citizen. Hurrah for

FACTS ABOUT THE MORTGAGE
For One Thing, as TireIess Worker
II May Be Said to Hold the
Record.

A mortgage makes a man rustic
and it keeps him poor. 1t is strong
incentive to action, and a wholesale
reminder of the fleeting months and
years. 1t is fully as symbolical in its
meaning as the hour-glass and scythe.
that mean death.
A mortgage represents industry, be-
cause it is never idle, night or day
1t is like a bosom friend, because the
greater the adversely the closer 1t
sticks to fellow. 1t is like a brave
soldier. for it never hesitates at
charges. nor fears to close in on the
enemy, 1t is like the sandbag Of the
thug-silent in application. but dead
ly in effect. 1t is like the hand of
Providence-it spreads all over crea-
tion. and it's influence is everywhere
visible. 1t Is like the grasp of the
devil.fsh-the longer it holds the
greater its strength. II will exercise
feeble energies and lend activity to
a sluggish brain. but no matter how
= debtors work the mortgage works
harder still. A mortgage is a good
thing to have in a family-provided,
always. it is in somebody else's fam

MAKING BEST USE OF LAMB
Directions Here for Two ExesilGKS
Dinners to Be Evolved From .
Seven-Pouhd Shoulder.

A seven-pound shoulder of lamb. cut
of both long ends and take the CEN
ter, thick chunk of meat; place In
pans over a good range fire. Cover
closely and let it scar brown about
twenty minutes. Take fork, turn 1t
over, let it scar another twenty min-
utes on this side, then pour three or
four cupfuls hot water, salt, three
large onions. Cover closely again,
letting Il simmer. Loosen the meat
from the bottom of pan before adding
water. At the end of an hour more
add three large carrots in long strips.
Cover for half an hour more. then add
three large parsnips cut in strips and
cover again for half an hour longer,
when your roast of meat and vege-
tables will be done. Celery can go
into this with parsnips also. This
Is all done on top of the stove. Serve
with potatoes or simply the vegetables
In the pan.
Next day take the two long, swing
ing ends of the lamb shoulder that you
had put away from the roast part
put in soup kettle or deep stewpan,
with celery leaves If you have it. Boil
1t. Boil a full hour in salted wa
ter, add a head Of cabbage soaked In
cold water over night. to crisp it; pep
per it at this stage of the cooking. Boil
another full hour. Peel potatoes. boil
twenty minutes in separate kettle.
pour on water, shake gently until
mealy and serve with your lamb and
cabbage. Do not have too much water
on your lamb, for the cabbage throws
of much water. Cover all closely
while boiling.
This is the only good way to get
all that is possible out of shoulder
Of lamb and have tasty meals. Skim
of fat with cabbage dinner, as those
two long swinging ends have more rat
than one would wish to eat. Reserve
that for soapmaking.

WISDOM IN HIS JUDGMENT
Rabbits Decision Worthy Of Any of
Those That Have Been Cred
tied to Solomon.

Many of the best stories among the
Jews are told about rabbis who were
called in to render decision in diff
cult disputes. These decisions are at
times as crafty as those of the ancient
Solomon.
A rich Jew, lying on his deathbed,
sent for his brother.
Brother" he said, Il am dying. l
leave $4,000, and desire you TO dis
pose of my fortune as instruct you.
Give my wife as much as you want
and keep the remainder for yourself"
He died soon after, and after divid-
ing the fortune the brother kept $40,-
900 and gave the remaining $4,000
to the widow and her children. The
widow, not satisfied with this amount,
complained to the rabbi (who always
appears in the role of the widows
protector). The rabbi ordered the
brother to appear before him.
You have disobeyed your brothers
dying wish." said the rabbi.
Not at ALL" replied the brother
"He told me to give his widow as
much as | want and to keep the rest
for myself"
Precisely" responded the rabbi
"You took $4,000 and gave the widow
$4,000. Therefore, you wanted $40,.
900. Did not your brother say, Give
my wife as much as you want?
Therefore. l order that you give her
$4,000. Furthermore, did not your
brother say: Keep the remainder!
