THERE is a group of vegetables

THERE is a group OF vegetables
that are very valuable in the
L diet because they are body
builders They are known as
legumes, peas. beans, ana lehtils'
and belong to this class.
1t is satisfying, indeed, to see
generous sized bowl of steaming
hot bean soup on ones table on
chilly day. But to produce any good
dish. one must have the proper
utensils with which to work. A
standard half-pint measuring cup
is essential A tablespoon and
teaspoon of standard size must be
on hand. Remember that dessert
spoon is not a tablespoon. Ana all
measurements must be taken abso-
lutely level. These are little points,
but often they mean the difference
between success and failure. Dip
your spoon into -four or any other
similar material and with case
knife level it until when passing the
knife over the spoon, another grain
does not come off That is what all
recipes intend as level measuring.
And now here is good recipe

WANTS HER TO DO WASHING.

-Four months ago, i resigned a

married a man who earned theh
$500 a month and now is recelV-
ing $500 monthly. For the first
two months everything went hap
pily and my husband, calling me

insistently refused to provide me
a maid, and still refuses to do so.

things before when l was working
and earning a good salary, and L
don't intend to do them now.
The house is dusty for want OF

bride-as he seems to about meal

stingy in providing for me and has
given me a nice apartment feel
that my marriage hasn't been a
success, as l thought it was.
1t seems to me that he might
yield a point, and out of his really
good salary be willing to spend $40
a week to have a maid come in,
just to make me happy. l am not
cxtravagant and do not ask for
too many hats or dresses or other
things. We could spare the cost
of keeping a maid; and II only he

He confessed to them that for
long time he had been blind to the
truth, had taken the inherited, un-
Christian view that the disease
which caused vice and poverty
might not be cured, through its
ulcers might be alleviated. He had
not, indeed. clearly perceived and
recognized the Gisease.
He had regarded Dalton street in
a very special sense as a reproach
to St. Johns, but now he saw that
all such neighborhoods were in
reality reproach to the city, to
the State, to the nation.
True Christianity and democracy
were identical, and the congrega-
tion of st. Johns, as professed
Christians and citizens. were
doubly responsible, inasmuch as
they not only made no protest or
attempt to change government
which permitted the Dalton streets
to exist. but inasmuch also as,
directly or indirectly. they derived
profit from conditions which
were an abomination to God. It
would be but an idle mockery for
them to go and build a settlement

their lives.
Here there had been a decided
stir among the pews. Holder had

Most of the girls who marry these

to have children; they are even
taught how to keep out of mother

in danger of losing its exclusive
right to the third finger of the
left hand?
Sentimentalists argue that tho
wedding finger was chosen because
IL is more directly connected with

spect for this ring lore.
Lady Diana Dun Cooper is one
who wears her wedding ring just

QUESTION CANNOT
BE ANSWERED.

The question, is marriage a sue
cess, strikes me as one that can
not be answered. Who knows
whether marriage will be sue
cess or not? You may have been
married one hundred years, but the
one hundred first year may be
failure. SO all we have to do is
to live happy while we can, and
when we can't, just do otherwise.
There is no use complaining, as it
doesn't do any good whatever. SO
II married folks would get together
and stop complaining and get used
to the bad side as well as the good
side married life would be a little
better, if not complete success.
