Today's Poem

T0DAY'S POEM
The Everlasting Crouch
The meetin' Of the grouchy
AS you may pass along
u make you think o. sonethin'
Besides a bit o. song.
You said good NORM" to him,
But you are "busted" now,
His crouch wen down your column,
His wireless" scorched your brow.
And as you lost your bearings"
All summed, you grope a while,
You grouched inside and muttered
As friends spoke with smile.
But you were not a groucher
And that is why it stung.
You soon, of course, recovered
Your cheerful smile and tongue.
And so you came agin' 'em
Old grouchers to the bone,
And others, just thinkin'
OF troubles all their own
The higher cost o. livin'
And things you couldn't guess,
And so we mustn't mind it
And get in such a mess.
For a higher law commands us
To love our fellow man,
And so, of course, it Stands" us
To do the best we can.
But how about the "image"
That common manhood scouts
And starts this mental scrimmage-
The everlasting crouch?

pared as follows: Boil two pairs Of
sweetbreads in sailed water until ten
der. Remove and drop in ice water
take off all the skins and gristle AMI
dice them; add a can of diced mush-
rooms or an equal quantity of fresh
ones; melt two tablespoonful of but

into it one tablespoonful of flour. To
this add one cupful of stock or cup
full of scalded cream. Allow to boil
and then put in the meat and mush-
rooms. Cook a minute or two then
add two well beaten egg yolks. Set
away to cool, then form into rolls, dip
in egg and crumbs and fry delicate
brown. Serve in nests of watercress.
A thin slice of cheese placed on
thin sliced buttered bread in the form

For the Epicure

One tires of vanilla and lemon for
davoring, and anything new or vari-
ETY. is always welcomed. For those
who do not enjoy almond fiayoring
alone the combination of one tea
Ipoonful of almond extract to six of
lemon is a good combination. When
Using the mixture, shake well and use
the teaspoonful, or a few drops, de-
pending upon the dish.
Maplene is flavor well liked; so is
,aramel and coffee flavor. The mocha
,aramel fiavoring is a combination OF
the two. 1t is prepared as follows
Put a cupful of granulated or light
brown sugar into an iron frying pan,
stir until it begins to melt, then lower
the heat and continue cooking until it
is a rich brown in color, but be care
full not to burn it; then add half cup
ful Of hot, very strong coffee, stir for
a moment until dissolved; when cool,
put it in a bottle. 1t will keep for
weeks.
This may be used for any number OF
dishes. For frosting for cake mix
powdered sugar with cream until
quite stiff, then add enough of the
mocha caramel TO color well, and a
pinch Of salt.
Mocha Caramel Butter.-Wash the
salt from half cupful of butter.
cream it and add one and a quarter
cupfuls- of confectioner's sugar, then
cream again. Beat in one beaten egg,
two tablespoonfuls of mocha-caramel
and one or two tablespoonfuls Of
strong coffee. To make this, use cold
coffee instead of water. Put this but
ter in glass jar and set on ice.
Small sponge cakes may be hollow
ed out and filled with this butter, gar
nishing the top of each with candied
cherry; put on the lid and frost, if
so desired, or serve with fresh fruit,
plain. Hot waffles with mocha but
ter is delicious combination. There
will be any number of ways Of using
this good flavor.
Any white cooky mixture may be
made most tasty by adding a little
cooked fruit of dates, prunes or figs
on the center of a cooly; place an
other on top and bake. These are
especially well liked by the young
folks.
Fried chicken or pressed chicken.
boiled tongue, roast beef, are all
meats that are well liked for out

TACT AND JUDGEMENT
IN VISITING SICK
Either Early Morning or Late Even

Hours to Make a Call.

Visiting the sick Is undoubtedly an
art. To know just when to go. how
long to stay and Just what to say
while there requires tact and judg.
'ment, as well as common sense.
The first thing to consider in visit
ing a sick friend is the selection Of a
'seasonable hour. There Is, Of neces.
Isity, more or less routine about the
life within a sick room, and the visit
should be timed with reference to that
and not merely at the callers con.

invalids are at their best, and better
able to enjoy seeing their friends
than at other times. As a rule. Meth.
