ARE ALL MEN "MATEABLE?"


These violent delights have violent ends.
And in their triumph die like fire and
| powder,
Which, as they kiss, consume. The sweet
est honey ~
Is loathsome in its own deliciousness,
And in the taste aconfounds the appetite.
Therefore, love moderately; long love
doth so;
Too swift arrives as tardy as too SLOW.
Because you see man is single,
don't jump at the conclusion that he Is
waiting to fall in love with some sweet
woman. He may not be a mate for
one reason or, another. ja0rrg sis
He may have heart like an omni-
bus, always room for one more in it.
Therefore he's not to be appropriated
by any particular one. Business may
absorb him to such an extent that he
finds more pleasure in looking over
his books and accounts from early
morning until the wee sma' hours than
he would in having a wife to claim
part of his attention. Then, again, he
may be man subject to attacks of
old love dreams; fOrswearing love OF
all womankind because he had loved
and lost in his early youth or had been
the victim of an unwise affection.
Few men have to run the gamut OF
youth to their middle thirties without
coming in contact with some one wom-
an whom they could love had they coa-
sidered it advisable after long and
earnest thought.
The single man who will not WOO or
wed, be he bachelor or widower,
knows what he is about, having his
own good reasons. Hence, let him
alone if you would not incur his secret
enmity by inviting him to call, ii you
are a manageable woman and taking
an interest in him..
No man is so busy that he hasn't
time to think of some fair-faced wom-
an. If his heart is touched, that d.
reefs his inclination to seek her So
ciety The most bashful country youth
that ever lived knows how to tell his
love to the girl who has struck his
fancy. No man is too diffident to ask
woman to marry him if he really
wants her. Most women think that
the wealthy single man should marry
when they see poor young men taking
wives unto themselves, though it costs
them an effort to stretch out their in
come to cover the expenses Of two.
The rich man, more often than not,
imagines that every woman who looks
at him has an eye to his fortune. His
belligerent nature is aroused, and he
filings to the winds all temptation to
love and wed.
Nine times out of ten the man who
is considered unmateable has loved
too well some tickle sweetheart, who
has welded another This is the Sc
cret of many mans keeping single
who the world believes was born
heartless.
If the unmateable men have their
heart trouble and secret romances, it
is better not to attempt to pry into
them. Gentleness, womanliness and
sympathy will be much more of a mag
net to draw him toward woman than
for her to attempt to make a target of
his heart, interesting Cupid to dart his
arrows his way in her behalf. Few
women are clever enough to discern
the men that are mateable and those
who are not. Those who seek wOm-
ems society can always be charmed
into matrimony.

Foods Rich In nroteids.

The reason why all forms of meat,
cheese and eggs form so satisfying q
diet is not because they are rich in
calories but because they are rich in
rroteid. In order to be properly nour.

proverb, Take care of the pence and

Bread Leavened With Snow.

The use of fresh, dry snow as leav-
ening agent is not new, but the way
in which is acts seems to be misunder-
stood to some extent. The popular ex-
PLANTATION is that the raising of the
dough is due to ammonia in the snow
AS a matter of fact, snow contains but
a very slight amount of free ammonia
probably not more than one part in a

million. This quantity is, of course,
by far too small to cause any expan-
sion of the dough. The leavening ac-
ton is due to the entangled air in the
snow. The air expands on heating to
several times its original volume, thus
expanding the dough. Steam is formed
at the same time and aids in the rising
process.-C. E. Vail, Colorado Agricul-
tural college.
