KEEPING ONES TEMPER.

If you get mad because things don't
go your way it is a pretty good sign
your way is not the true way. 1t very
often happens that mans good inten-
tions are tainted and ruined because he
becomes incensed when others do not
agree with him. A true service keeps
one kind and friendly. Whenever we
see among our correspondents one who
is greatly irritated at another and at
tempts to burn tar on him We feel quite
sure the doctrine he espouses Is all
wrong. When we read contribution
in a controversy we throw it aside i'm
mediately upon seeing an angry thrust,
for we say to ourself truth does not act
that way. When a man asks us to do
something we don't feel inclined to do
and gets mad at our refusal, then we
are quite certain we did just right.
They are weak persons who act GER
tain way simply because they are asked
to. One should always have a faith in
what he does.-Ohio State Journal.

Cottage Cheese a Cheap
Substitute For Meat

Cottage cheese is richer in proteiE
than most meats and is very much
cheaper. Every pound contains more
than three ounces of protein, the chief
material for body building. 1t is also a
valuable source of energy, though not
so high as foods with more fat. 1t fol-
lows that its value in this respect can
be greatly increased by serving it with
cream. as is so commonly done.
The following recipes illustrate a
number OF ways in which cottage
cheese may be served:
Cottage Cheese Rolls.-A large vari-
ety OF rolls suitable for serving as the
main dish at dinner may be made by
combining legumes (beans of various
kinds. cowpeas. lentils or peas) with
cottage cheese and adding bread
crumbs to make the mixture thick
enough to form into "A roll. Beans are
usually mashed. but peas or small lima
beans may be combined whole with
breadcrumbs and cottage cheese and
enough of the liquor in which the veg
etables have been cooked may be add
ed to get the right consistency, or in
stead of beans or peas chopped spinach,
beet tops or head lettuce may be add
ed. Bake in a moderate oven. basting
frequently.
Boston Roast-A pound can of kid
ney beans or equivalent quantity Of
cooked beans. one-half pound of cot
tage cheese. breadcrumbs, salt. Mash
the beans or put them through meat
grinder. Add the cheese and bread
crumbs enough to make the mixture
sufficiently stiff TO be formed into a
roll. Bake in a moderate oven, basting
occasionally with butter or other fat
and water. Serve with tomato sauce
This dish may be favored with chop
ped onions cooked in butter or other
fat and very little water until tender.

Love That Counts.

The greatest modern sin is the alb
stract love of humanity, impersonal
love for those who are-somewhere
out of sight. To love those we do not
know, those whom we shall never
meet is so easy a thing. There is no
need to sacrifice anything. and at the
same time we are so pleased with our
selves. The conscience is fooled. No.
We must love our neighbors-thosew we
live with and who are in our way and
embarrasss us.-Leo Tolstoy.
Bridgeton pioneer., 1917-07-12
Decorating the Table.

Here are some rules which always
hold good in decorating table:
Never overload; it is better to have
TOO little decoration than too much.
Never have the centerpiece so high
as to obscure the view of those on the
opposite side.
The shape of the centerpiece should
be In effect that of the table, round on
round table and long on long table.
In a flower arrangement be sure to
have enough green.
Do not mix two kinds of flowers.
When candles are used for lighting
have at least one for every two guests.
One for every guest is better, and nev-
er place them in the center of the table.

Scatter Your Smiles

We are living now In troubled time.
War is with us-war that brings the
fear and pain of parting and giving
and renOuncing. And it isn't as easy
to smile as it has been. And for Just
that reason every smile that we give
means a hundred times as much as it
formerly did.
And so I'm going to ask you, friends
OF mine, to try to bring one smile
day to some soul who maybe hasn't the
courage to smile. You needn't limit
yourself to one smile. If you can make
ten, twenty, fifty people smile, so much
the better. But be sure, at least, of
that one smile.
a little old lady didn't know that she
was making the way possible for q
genius-that she was bringing a gift
of God out of obscurity into the light
But that's what she did when she
made the writer girls work worth
while
We don't know, any more than the
little old lady did, when we give our
smiles, just how much good we may be
doing. Sometimes a smile given at the
right time is worth almost as much as
word of understanding or a loving
hand or bit Of helpful advice. And
sometimes the smile that isn't given
may be the weight of lead to help crush
some one.
A little girl in the subway disap-
peared into the crowd before 1 could
show her that l wanted to be friendly.
Don't let your opportunities to bring
cheer disappear. as she did, into obliv-

Christian Herald.

Hopefulness.

The men whom have seen succeed
best in life have always been cheerful
and hopeful men, who went about their
business with a smile on their faces
and took the changes and chances Of
their normal life like men, facing rough
and smooth alike as it came, and so
found the truth Of the old proverb that
good times and bad times and all
times pass over."-Kingsley.
Bridgeton pioneer., 1917-07-12
Riches and STRENGTH,

Men seem neither to understand
their riches nor their strength. OF the
former they believe greater things than
they should, of the latter much less.
Self reliance and self denial will teach
a man to drink out Of his own cistern
and to eat his own sweet bread and to
learn and labor truly to get his living
and carefully to expend the good things
committed to his trust.-Bacon.
