Making More Money

Frankly speaking Miss Blanche Min

could enter in order to earn her Own Nv

raphy presented a good future. but one
had to take a course at business col:
lege and this neCcSsitated both time and
money. Domestic service was not to be
considered and clcrking in n store
brought insufficient rewards at hrst'

THOSE THANK YOU NOTES
JUST AFTER CHRISTMAS
axe Away AH the Pleasure of That New Gift Notepaper-Ue
Worry about Planning and Composing Instead of
Just Plain Writing Them

A Nd now it is all over for another
year.
with your new lace collar around
your neck, your new wrist watch upon
your arm. your new umbrella in your
hand, you stand proudly beside your
new lamp shade and gaze gladly upon
your new writing paper.
And then you remember, with q pang.
that right this minute you ought to be
sitting down to send some of that new
writing paper away in the form Of
thank you notes.
Oh, how you hate the thought!
1t is not that you nre ungrateful no.
indeed; you appreciate that check of
Aunt Sophie's more than you can tell,
and Cousin Jennie's book Is one that
you have been wanting: Marys picture
is so good of her, and little Jimmy s
blotter that he made all himself is the
cutest thing you ever saw.
No, you're filed with thankfulness,
but it is so hard to put it> on paper
and make It sound like anything.
The majority of us waste time like
this after every Christmas, birthday or
any other day that requires n letter.
We worry about "Nhat shall | say
'How shall l say t." ''If only l could
get first sentence" until, as the days
go by and the note remains unwritten, il
seems an utter impossibility ever to
write 1t.
And when we do finally get down ia
it, we use such formal phrases. such
unnatural sentiments that the person
who reads it knows just how much labor
we have put into the writing.
WE MAKE this same mistake. very
w often. with note Of sympathy to
bereaved friend. OF course. we want
to say the most comforting words we
can think Of and in trying to find them
we forget that the ones which come
straight from our hearts are more sym
pathetic than any that could be thought
up.
The only way to get them straight

Fight Years of Trouble Gone and Feels Fine Every Day Since Taking
 Tanlac,

Since I commenced taking Tanlac all my troubles of eight years standing have left me and I can do as big days work as any man. said J. Curry, a well-known flagman on the Key Route System who lives at 577 West Eleventh St., Oakland, Gal.
 q had the worst sort of chronic in- digestion" continued MT. Curry. "I could hardly retain a thing on my stomach and had spells of belching and nausea almost every meal and a bad taste in my mouth nearly all the time. I was so badly constipated that I had to take a laxative nearly every day, was troubled lot with lumbago and was so nervous that at night l would roll and tumble from one side of the bed to the other without getting near enough sleep and when morning come I would be so tired simply had to drag myself to work,
 ''I began taking Tanlac and will say right here it measures up to every thing people say of it, for it has put me back in as fine health as I ever was. I eat anything set before me without the slightest bad after effects. I sleep like a log every night and all my other troubles are gone. I have more life and energy about me than I have had in years and can't praise Tanlac enough for it is the most de- pendable medicine I ever heard of
 Tanlac is sold everywhere.

Sorghum Makes Coed Sub.
 stiiute fes Sugar.

Sorghum may be used in many re- ceips that caly for sugar, mOlasses or corn syrup. This brief statement ans wers scores of the inquiries that are coming to Gertrude E. Conant, Univer- sity specialist of the Agricultural Ex- tension Service, University of Ark ansas.
 When substituting sorgrum or mo- lasses for sugar, use the same amount | of the substitutes as of sugar called flor. In general one cup of sugar may be replaced by any one of the follow ing; one cup of honey, one cup of cane sugar, one cup of sorghum, one cup of molasses, or one and two thirds corn syrup.
 CERAL FRUIT PUDDING. One cup rolled oats. i One cup of flour, One-half teaspoon soda. One-half teaspoon salt. , One teaspoon cinnamon. One cup dried apples. 1 One cup raisins. One-half cup sorgrum or other syrup
 One-fourth cup sour milk.
 One egg, well beaten. Soak dried apples several hours in cold water an drain. Sift together the flour, soda, salt and cinnamon, add the fruit, cut in small pieces, and the roll ed oats. Mix liquids together and combine with dry ingredients. This is sufficient to fill three one pound baking powder cans, two-thirds full Perforate covers of cans before covering. Steam three hours in a steamer, or one hour in steam pressure cooker. If latter is used let it steam 35 minutes without pressure, to set the dough, and 25 minutes under 15 pound pressure, Serve with foamy sauce. Note. Dried peaches or apricats may be used in place of apples.
 FOAMY SAUCE , One-half cup sugar. { One-half cup corn syrup or sorghum
 Four tablespoons butter. One egg.
 l One-fourth teaspoon nutmeg
 Cream butter, add sugar gradually, then syrup and egg Beat all together until foamy with a dover egg beater 1 Add flavoring last
