steady diminution. dropping from
$4,000 pounds in 1914-1915, to $780,

thing, as many cooks throw away the
water in which vegetables are cooked
losing the very elements that make
vegetable food valuable. A little care
and thought should be given to the
cooking Of young, tender, succulent
vegetables, allowing them to cook in
just water enough to keep them from
burning and that water should then
be added to the seasonlngs In the form
of a sauce. II that method Is not de-
sired, the liquid may be saved and
put into the soup pot, thus saving all
the mineral elements.
The cooking of vegetables in large
amount of water and throwing it way
Is a most reprehensible waste, and
one that should be most soundly con-
deinned. One of the most important
beginnings In teaching children to eat
and like all kinds of vegetables is
thnt the parents should always par
take of them. Children as a rule cam
not be forced into eating things that
are Objectionable, and they have a
right to object If the head of the fam
lily does not eat them, for he is the
pattern and example which all chill
dren love to follow. If daddy eats
carrots and spinach 1t Is comparative
ly easy to overcome any prejudice on
the part Of the children If they are
taught early enough.
The early green's that come flrst in
the spring are rich In iron and should
be eaten frequently. Spinach should
be cooked In as little water as posi-
BILE, not to waste any Of the precious
minerals.

Peace 30 Mer,
Of Good VIII
BY Gao IS r. TIMING

The angels H- "oa Erru
Good Will Toward Men can s.-
translated pence t. men IF
will" This version is timely. as /.
as correct for the Greek. For paa..
can and shall come to men Of eset
will, and it cannot come to men a..
bad Will.
Who is the man of good viii? L
is he who has ii choice Of happiness.
of Righteousness, of goodness for all
men. 1t is he who desires that me-
may be blessed, and who tries t.
make the desire effective. The man
of good will does not hate. Neither
does he incarnate hate in any weapon
offensive or defensive. He is free from
revenge, and is full Of forgiveness
for the pcnitent. He may not forget
injuries but, what is more important,
he is eager to make injury the occa-
sion for helping the offender to over
come the evil within the heart or
will out of which the injury sprung.
He is capable of mighty indignatiOns.
but he does not suffer himself to be
conquered by them. Without being
impassive, he is calm in the face Of
wrong, and he is very patient, be-
ing more willing to be the victim than
the agent of evil. His hatred of all
sin and his love for the man who,
despite his manhood. is guilty Of sin,
are alike strong and lasting. He is
free from suspicion, he thinketh no
evil. He loves his neighbOr, not only
as himself, but even more, being more
eager to do justice than to receive
justice.
The qualities and elements which |
constitute the man Of good will also
constitute the commonwealth Of good |
will.
Such a commonwealth Is common
wealth peace. Willing good to 9TH
ers, others will good, also to 1t. Arm
aments in such condition have no long
er any function to play, and they melt
away. The battleflags are furled.
Wars cease and rumors Of wars are
not heard. Men become brothers in
mutual service and happiness, as they
are brothers In origin and destiny.

Christmas
and Old Loves
BY LAURA JEAN ELBBE.-

When l think on the happy days
! | spent with ;ou, my little Gcar.e,
Now what lands between US lie,
How can but be cerie?
A yuletide draws near, mans
~ mind is very apt to revert to
! ~ happy Christmas times that
have gone before. There is
| most always woman connected with
a mans happy times and pleasant day
! dreams. The man who left the farm
to make his fortune in the great city
and who has become rich, bachelor
boarding at q fashionable hotel or club,
can usually recall some particularly
happy Christmas in the long ago-a
Christmas dinner in the old home,
taking his first sweetheart Christmas
eve to ball in the town hall; the de-
light Of taking her homea mile
through snow drifts on winter night.
He had written to her few times aft
er leaving home, then the excitement
Of city life had crowded her out Of his
memory and his life. AS Christmas
draws nigh again, thoughts carry him
back to the girl he loved when time
was young with him. On the impulse
OF the moment he dashes off q letter
to her. He does not know whether
she will receive it. She may be mar
ried or she may have moved away.
The old folks at home had been care
full never to mention her even in an
swer to his inquiries.
How strange it is that the same
thought can fill two different minds at !,
the same time. The girl Of long. ago,
still single, knowing he has not wed, .
picks up courage to send a Christmas :
card to the boy grown old now who /
took her to her first ball on Christmas |
eve. The letter and card cross each !
other as each flies to its goal. The
bachelor finds 1t in his Christmas mail.
The lonely woman standing by q win. ),
dow In far-Off farmhouse has q let. 1
ter handed to- her, by a neighboring i
farmer who kindly fetched it to her
from the post Office Christmas morn
ing. simultaneously there is warm
glow In two hearts widely severed.
And yet there are people who WON
der that there are romances which are
revived at yuletide when men and
women no longer young sigh for love
md home cheer. If they sit alone and
lonely listening to the chimes Of the
Christmas bells. II
Christmas day Is the time to light
The sacred fire upon the altar of old
hopes and loves and make the longing
and dreams realities. Sending little
Christmas card with a well-chosen
Kindly verse is sure to find an echo in
l lonely mans heart at this time Of
Ill others. One should not check the
Kindly resolve to send one. It can do
10 harm and 1t may bring much happi-
less. To whom are you going to send
'our "Merry Christmas" card In this
ear Of our Lord 1917? Perhaps I'll
ind one in my stocking. I'll hang 1t
lp and see. I take this occasion to
END each and every one Of my readers
Merry Christmas, together with the
Wish that the coming year may be the /
most successful one Of their lives. :

By Frederic 7: Carda.s

Most gracious Lord. forbid the sword
| And dull each cleaning blade:
Be it thy will, tonight, to still
| Each deadly cannonade.
| The straying sheep seek out and keep.
The blacklist ones retrieve.
That he may kneel, for peace appeal,
Upon this Christmas Eve.
The winter frost, December's ghost,
Its spangled robe has spread
Across the mead, each shrub and weed
| Now lies suppressed and dead.
From out the gloom a hollow boom
The seasons message tells,
From metal Threats. where hatred gloats
Instead Of Christmas bells.
The sentry's boon. the full white moon,
Which clouds anon conceal,
Rebukes the blight. with silver light
or each stern gun Of steel.
It clothes the plain where lie the slain,
Contorted yet serene.
In garments rare that spirits wear,
Translucent sheets Of sheen.
For deaf the ears Of kings and peers
To sorrow and despair,
And men still pray in pits Of clay,
Entrapped. like beasts in lairs.
While over earth the Saviour's birth
Is heralded once more,
From placid lea to stormy sea,
From scared to sheltered shore.
Though peace on earth reigned at his birth
In David's city then.
And vale and hill sang of good will
From Him toward all men.
Tonight the breath Of hate and death
Is breathed from many soul:
Each watchful group and soldier troop
Has slaughter for it's goal.
With appraised arm. still each alarm
Which shall ascend above
Bid thou the age Of wars fell rage
Give way to brothers love:
And in thy might forbid the fight
That wages day by dow
And lead each rnce VII, radiant face
And firm clasped hands. away.
