HOUSEHOLD HINTS
Recipes for n Day.

Creamed Peas-Remove the peas
from the pods and wash. Cook until
soft in just enough boiling water to
keep them from burning. Do not add
salt until the peas are nearly done and
avoid overlooking them, especially
when the young peas are used. Time
will vary according to the age of the
peas There should be little IL any
water left to drain from the peas.
If any is left save Il carefully and
let it replace a part of the milk in the
sauce. 1t is inadvisable to add soda
to soften the water or to decrease the
time for cooking. Soda Injuries the
flavor and probably destroys some of
the most valuable properties of the
peas, and other green vegetables.

II the production capacity of indus
try should be greatly increased, lower
prices would not necessarily follow. If
there be a strong enough demand for
commodities. prices need not fall, no
matter in how large volume commodi-
ties are produced. There is every rea-
son for expecting such demand. The
world is now suffering from a great
shortage OF durable goods-buildings
transportation facilities, and industrial
equipment. Furthermore people, both
in the United States and Europe. have
a stronger desire for consumers goods
than ever before. This is true partly
because of the scarcity of certain
goods during the war period, and part
ly because OF the new experiences thru
which tens of millions have passed.
which have awakened in them desires
for goods and services they never had
before. Along with greater pFoduc-
ton of goods there is likely to go fur

the world has reached the limits of its
power of expansion.

BY DOROTHY DIX
Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.
The Road to Success.


Another man said, THE greatest
fault have to find with the girls
who come to our office direct from
school is that they think they know
exactly how things should be done.
They believe that the way they are
taught in school is the only way to
do things. and resent being asked 60
conform to the customs of the office
when these customs differ from their
school course. They don't realize that
while the school may be more up-to-
date in some respects it is not always
possible to change the methods of a
big corporation"
Another man said, Tell the girls to
learn adaptab ility and to cultivate
initiative. That's where most girls
fail. They are timid about making
any change. or making suggestions
that would simplify the work"
Another man said. Tell the girls
TO come to the office with a clean face.
without makeup, for much depends
upon their appearance. Then tell
them to cultivate an agreeable per-
sonality. n friendly smile without CO.
quetry, and to show that they are in
terested in their work. There Is moth
ing that 4 business man likes to see
about him so much as cheerful. happy
workers. who are enthusiastic over
their jobs, and who make him feel
that they are pulling with him, and
trying to make the business a success
Then tell the girls to give full measure
of service the first consideration. and
not TO think of the remuneration first
and the amount OF work necessary TO
get II afterwards. Nobody. either man
or woman. ever arrives who doesn't do
little more than they are paid for.
especially at the beginning of the
game"
Another man said, Impress on the
girls the value OF time. Most women
are time MASTERS because domestic life
is not run on a schedule. and five or
ten minutes doesn't seem to count
much. In an office that is different.
/ estimate that l lose the service of
two women every day through the
time that the employees IN my office
spend in primping In the morning
after they get to the office before they
settle down to their work. Also inn
press on the girls that they make a
terrible mistake in sighting their
work and refusing to learn to do it
thoro because they regard II as
temporary. for il often lasts much
longer than they expect and sometimes
the man never comes along at all.
Besides which interest in their work
makes the day pass more pleasantly
and draws down the good pay en-
velope."
Another man said. Tell them that
they won't get their salaries increased
by making goo-goo eyes at the boss"
And there you are, girls. This Is the
real opinion of real business men on
| how to succeed. Think it over.

Your Mind is world within

For within that strange and much

The great phases of invention and

chords of art and music and every
touch of day-drama-every caress Of

From the faintest spiritual blend

the bold and dominating standards of
a man led on by his own instincts for

REAL FISH.
Time the fish taste best is when
You've got up at o'clock.
Pushed the old boat from the dock
An rowed out mile or so
To secret place you know
Up the river to n bay
Where the entails bob an sway
An the lily pads an grass
Suit the habits of the bass;
Then you drop your anchor out
Glad there's no one else about.
First you fill your pipe. an then
Freshen up your minnow pail;
Maybe Ike the time to bail
Out the water that has sneaked
In your boat becOz it leaked
Then yOu get your leaders wet
An adjust your landing net;
Stow your oars, SOS they'll be clear
When you're castin'. far or near,
Then you rig your tackle true
An all the world looks good to you
In the distant east the sun
Seems 10 signal howdy do
Sorter glad to welcome you.
An the gulis begin to swoop
Round you like n hungry troop
Just as tho they knew you'd got
Special breakfast for the lot.
Something vicious greets your cast
An your reel starts runnin' fast,
An your pulse begins to leap
Like the bahs that's driTin' deep.
Fish, there's none of them that taste
like the kind you've caught yourself
Market stall an pantry shelf
Can't compare with reeds an grass
AS STORM place for basn-
Take em from the lake to pan,
Fried In butter. man. oh, man!
There's n meal TO comfort you,
Sweet as honey thru an thru
There's a breakfast ! defy
ANY millionaire to buy.

Gen. Leonard Wood is the choice of
Republican governors, editors and
state chairmen, according to returns
of a presidential poll conducted by a
Los Angeles paper. The returns show
more votes for General Wood than for
Taft Hughes, Lowden and Harding

that it shows he is the preference of

why do not the public schools give
the children a course in etiquet?" is
the question credited to an Atchison
woman by the Globe. Mainly perhaps
because the teachers are underpaid

teaching a lot of less important things.

nothing in the way of initiative. They
are forced to teach according to pre-
scribed rules.

said TO be more than s2o,226, 900. 900
without the additional burden that
will be imposed upon her by the terms
of the peace treaty. Beside the ma
tional debt. German states have their
private debts, Just the same as the
various states Of our Union have their
own obligations.
Italy in 1917 was raising about
$1,000. 900. 900 annually IN taxes. while
the annual expenditure was more
than three times that much.
England is estimated to have obi
