The most perilous hour in a per-
sons life is when he is tempted to
despond. The man who loses his
courage loses all. There is no more
hope for him than for a dead man;
but it matters not how poor he may
be, how much pushed by Circumstance
es, how much deserted by friends,
how much lost to the world; if he
only keeps his courage, holds up his
head, works on with his hands and
with unconquerable will determines
to be and to do what becomes q man,
all will be we'll.

We heard on the street the other
day Of q man who claimed he was too
poor to take his home paper but all

worth of information came it said:

Don't judge a man by his clothes.
God made one and the tailor made
the other. Don't judge man by his
family, for Cain belonged to a good
family. Don't Judge man by the
house he lives in, for the lizard and
the rat often inhabit the grander
structure. When a man dies they who
survive him ask what property there
is left behind; the angel who bends
over the dying man asks what good
deeds he has sent before him.

True economy consists not 80
much in denying yourself the food
that you want as knowing how to
use it to the best advantage. One
can be saving in the kitchen and still
have good food and plenty of it.
At present, when over in Europe
many thousands are starving to
death, i seems especially sinful to
waste food. One can make really
good dishes of scraps. Let US
assume that you have few spoon
fuls of differene kinds of vegetables
left over and some gravy in a bowl
that you have placed in a refriger-
ator, not Knowing quite what to do
with 1t. Put in your vegetables, some
of the gravy and little piece Of
bread, pepper and salt, with water
on the stove and let simmer for an
hour. a.
Rub through sieve, return to the
fire, add teaspoonful of butter, boil
up and you have a good soup. You
can put cooked rice with chopped
meat, seasoning to taste, covered
with bread crumbs with little
gravy to inoisten in a baking dish
and bake until brown on top and
have an appetizing dish from left
overs.
With dressing added you can
make a good salad of your cold
peas and string beans By expert
menting you will be surprised at the
ease in which humble left-overs may
be made the pride of your menu.

When the bread comes out Of the
oven with a hard crust which your
family may dislike, do not waste
bread by cutting it off. Simply run
it over the crater until the hard por-
ton has been removed.
If you desire to serve the cooked
fruit in a whole condition place it in
a receptacle, a jam jar will do
nicely. Add the sugar and water,
put on the cover and let the fruit
cook in the oven until done.
Stew fruit in the oven while
roasting meat or baking. This will
save fuel. Fruit cooked in the oven
is more delicious than when cooked
on top of the stove. \
When peeling large quantities Of
apples, as in preserving, drop them
in cold, slightly salted water. after
coring, peeling and slicing them.
This will prevent discoloration.

Did you ever press fresh peas
through the colander after they are
cooked? When heaped in mound
on the dish and surrounded by car
rots they present an appetizing
appearance and are most palatable

Place several thicknesses of news

Sometimes the children's shoes
fit loosely at the heel and cause bis

If the travelling bag looks shabby
dust it thoroughly and remove spots

dressing, either black or tan, as the
bag may require. Allow this to
thoroughly dry then polish with a
flannel cloth. If the bag is extreme
ly worn several applications may
be necessary, but be sure to dry and
polish one coat before applying
another.
Cut off the fat from the pork be-
fore cooking it/and when baking or
roasting meat or poultry cut the fat

there will be less danger of the meat
burning. Cooks claim that it gives
the meat better flavor.

Garden peas intended for drying

boiling water for FIVE minutes. then
spread on z wire screen having
mesh large enough to permit the
shelled peas to pass through, with
box or basket placed beneath. Rub
the pods vigorously over the screen

empty out practically al the peas
much more quickly than they could
be shelled by hand. Dip the shelled
peas one to two minutes in boiling
water. Drain, spread to depth of
three-fourths to one inch on the
trays of an evaporator and dry at
lis degrees to l25 degrees F. as

Peas and beans can not be dried

Dandruff Surely
Destroys The Hair

Girls-if you want plenty of
thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair,
do by all means get rid of dandruff,
for it will starve your hair and ruin
it if you don't.
It doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid Of dandruff is to dis
solve it, then you destroy it entirely.
To do this, get about four ounces
Of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it
at night when retiring; use enough
to moisten the scalp and rub it in
gently with the finger tips.
By morning, most if not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely de-
stroy every single sign and trace
Of it.
You will find, too, that all itch
ing and digging of the scalp will
stop, and your hair will look and
feel hundred times better. You
can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. It is inexpensive and four
ounces is all you will need, no mat
ter how much dandruff you have.
This simple remedy never fails.
