To this add about one quart of water, l salt pepper and one onion cut fine. When it comes to boil add two cups 1 of rice and when rice is about half ] cooked take out almost all of it and put in dish. Dot it on top with but ! ter and put in the oven to brown. Then finish cooking your soup. The thick tomato which remains 1 put in d saucepan with two-thirds cup sugar, one half teaspoon salt, pinch red pepper, one third cup vine gar. Let simmer (not boiD for about 15 minutes and you will have almost q pint of chili sauce for your beans or any other use. get a large can of tomatoes, as find it goes farther.

 Sometimes add a teaspon of thick ening to the soup

There's no place like home

There's no place like home" But I enjoyed the real welcome of these Sisters who live close to earth s visible transformations of which city dwellers can onlyl fabrfcates sand dream. The sincere handshake and absence of artificiality abides with those who live among the typical homelands. The impersonators of the Little Old Wom- san Under the Hill" and Little Boy Blue," dressed in Halloween colors, held a primer. the age of which would easily have anticipated any. member of l5thS Sgruup lpresents affd to1d the story of those rustic days to the pleasure of their listeners.

eREEr,nes FROM BILLIE.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: No won der Joan answered me as she did when I asked her the day I called on her why she didn't write to The Corner. She said: T do not know what to write" I think it is true with many of us. Stock of sentiment has run out" Many times nay intentions are good but put off too long to have it appear in that weeks issue and will say Plenty of time for next week. :" How many have seen those little books that relate about your birth month :? Not very long age bought one
 When reading it I often think of Rural Delivery and Gala Lily. remembering those two of The Corner were born in November. There are others. but I cannot recall them. Among many things mentioned in that little book is sonnet hing Just referred to-procras- tfnation. Some wonderfully good things said about us, and some not so good, but if we surmouft these dis agreeable things with our remarkable VIII power. of which they also tell. we will become the salt of the earth"
 If I remember correctly. Rural De- Iivery's birthday is Nov. and Gala Lily's is Now 18th. Mine comes be- tween somewhere.
 Speaking of Joan. I made two calls at her home and she played some very fine selections for me that made me recall days of long ago.
 will right here thank the Editor for the prize money. Joan can tell you at one of the gatherings what bought with it, sgsz sa'
 Heard the pleasant voice of Janet over the phone. I caught a glimpse of Her as I passed her house when she was sitting by the window. Will call next time I am in the city.
 Hope the Editor has fully recovered himself again"

AN INTERESTING VISIT.

Dear Sisters Of The Social Corner: While in Norwich last week to attend q convention. I had the privilege of visiting The Bulletin building, where your letters and mine are printed weekly. I learned so much from my half hour of observation there that I want yo,l all to share the pleasure and if1forma ton with n1e.
 First of all. what I saw and heard has warned nle never to be careless again about sending The Social, Cor 1c~ Editor letters written on both sides Of the paper. or so faint that mo- hotiy can read thenay or with lines all crowded together. so that it is no wonder mistakes creep ia I saw there SO rflicl4 nice, clean "copy' they call it. written carefully either with pencil, ink or typewriter.
 Then. too. I found out that it is the advertisements which make the money fer q newspaper; so that it is only a silly ad uninformed person who will send the editors long, rambling let -e- and say. q know you want some thing to fill up your paper with!
 Why, a man there told me that every inc of The Bulletin is worth at least twenty five centst That's why I won't write any more teday..sto tell you what I saw; but may some other week.

KEEPING ONES FIGURE.

Dear Friends of The Social Corner: The other day in trolley car. a com parative1v young woman with a small son sat in the seat just in front of mine. The mother was so bulky she : strained her thin waist to an. alafming degree sf1ivered, thinking what rust happen in case that car lurch- ed. sending her over on that small boy. left the car before she did; and not having read of any fataIity,xI con cie,der that the child escaped crushing.
 That famous physician. Dr. bio Lewis used to say that in this enlight- ened age one should be as much ashamed of having indigestion as of being drunk: and say a young we- man like that should be asfiau1ed to he a wadd1y Teddy-bear shape. For she could correct her tendency to. over fat if she persistent1y devoted fifteen minutes morning and night to vigor- ousIy going through the simple gym nastic exercises taught in every modern school. Busy? We'll, then, let her get up a quarter of an hour earlier and go to bed the same time later, but reduces
 It isn't all appetite. or inheritance or sweets that produce such lady eie- phants-b,it just too great Iassitude- plain English, laziness!

UNCLE JOE EXPLAINS.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: guess some of ye do not understand Miriam think we were jawing CT that Miriam dy was "henpecked." Why. Mirandy likes to talk and like to hear her.
 Let me say right here. we are not spoken people; and when she calls me "a ternation fool" I know she's hit ting pretty close to the bulrs-eye
 But Mirandy did flare up when she read what ArabeI1a had to say about her being "henpecked," and she said: That woman had better know more about Joseph before she forms an opinion about our relations to one another!"
 I said: "Mirandy half the opinions and that's the reason no one should give an opinion until they are asked to-
 Joseph said he,'Don't you know an opinion they are not looking for? It, is the little surprises of life that make it tart!"
 Mirandy, you see is born critic, and she can't see why the Lord made some sort of folks, at alli But she took to me because the ends of my nerves turn in instead of out, and am always as calm as the dead seal She hits me up to make me laugh!
 Mi-rand-y wants me to tell ArabeIIa there air't a man on earth capabie of henpecking her. She considers her self capable of making the best of 'ern vince.
 : I think she can do it, too. You ought to have heard her talk the oth- CT day about the work girls making elegant leisure come hfEh." If them girls had heard her they would have given her three cheers, I know they would.
 Mirandy says she's glad am talk ing such an interest m The Social Corner, and she doesn't kriow but she shall write suthin herself one of these days.
 You see, Mirantly is more of a talk CT than a writer but think she could write something worth reading if she should try.

 Many a man and boy we believe be- comes more interested and successful in farming because of these annual exhfbiti6ns.
 Then, besides the knowledge they obtain, they enjoy after their energetic work, these holidays and find much to aTnuse them, for with their wives, boys and girls, they patronfze the side shows and don't mind a bit if some of them are fakiFs They find pleasure even in dropping a penny or dime in a slot machine and at sundown wend their way homeward, rested and benefited by the days outing.

4 VISIT TO NORWICH, N. v.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: Sometimes we feel interested in an other city or town which bears the same name as that of our own place of residence, located in another state: met with similar experience on my vacation trip during last August. Though not a resident of Norwich. COnn, but a friendly afHliation with The Bulletin, l was interested to be in NoTwich. N. Y- for a few days.
 About half way between Utica and Binghamton Is a. beautiful section of the large township of Norwich A very pretty residence place. with wide shad- ed streets and fine stores. The locality is quite level, a contrast to it's dupli- czte name in Gonn3cticl,x.
 The chief industry of Norwich, N. Y., is the Borden condensery. We are all so familiar with the Borden condensed milk that perhaps most Of us have not given a, thought as to how or where have 8 large condenseries scattered throughout the United States, of which eight are in New York state and the largest of these. is the one at Norwich.
 It was my privilege and pleasure to be shown around. with explana tfonB concerning this interesting plant. First of all my attention was drawn to the cleanliness and sanitary conditions, both oueefd6 and inside the large white are employed. men. women and chill dren. in the various departments. Some of the milk is brought there by neigh boring farmers. but largest quantities come on the nal trains. i..z. ..ss.
 Tie Borden company own the cans in which the milk is brought and when ths Af3k haD been re1n1v0d tAeyl .
