Is contentment a state of mind to
strive for? 1t has always been con
sidered so, but isn't it rather a dan
gerous quality? Doesn't it tend rather
toward sluggishness? A COW is a per-
feet picture of content, but who wants
to be a COW? Contentment may be a
desirable state of mind for age but
never for youth. In our smaller vii
lage we see too many who have become
contented with themselves and their
lot early in life. Don't do it! Never
be satisfied with yourself Never give
up the struggle to improve your mind
and your position! 1t is the most eff
fective weapon against old age. AS
soon as you sit back and begin to take
life easy, old age is going to overtake
you by leaps and bounds.
Contentment, in the commonly ac-
| cepted meaning of the term, is not a
good trait for anyone Develop poise
and calm judgment, but strive always
for higher and better things Content
ment Smacks too much of Self-satisfac-
| ton.

Good motherhood calls for a great
deal of sacrifice, but it never calls
for the sacrifice of a reasonable hus-
bands happiness The most apprec-
alive and fond fathers like to talk of
something sometimes beside "the
baby" They like to go places some
times without the hay. Yet many a
good woman fails to understand her
husbands feelings in this matter.
She humiliates him by accusing him
of Jealousy of his own children. She
forgets that she took the vows of
wifehood before she took the duties of
motherhood To be sure she must give
her children tender care and attention.
Any woman who did not would be a
monstrosity. But there are times when
her personal presence and advice would
mean heaven to her husband while to
the children it is no more than they
have always had.

They believe they will recognize it by
some psychic wave which will pass over

of such instances-Ch chances which most

bridge across the Tiber had been de
stroyed-when LeOnidaS at Thermopy-

gaged-When Sheridan arrived from
Winchester just in time to keep the
Union retreat from becoming a rout

1t is true that these men are above
the average in daring and clear think
ing but it is also true that the obsta-
Giles they overcame were above the
average. We Cannot all be Napoleons

A sculptor at one time made the

them. He has wings on his feet be-

DO YOUR DUTY

Do your duty, little man,
That's the way!
There's some duty in the plan
OF every day.
Every day has some new task
For your hand;
Do it ely-that's the way
Life grows grand.
DO your duty" sing the stars,
That so bright
Through the midnight's dusty bars
Shed their light.
"Do your duty" says the sun
High in heaven.
To the dutiful, when talks are done
Crowns are given.
Crowns of power and crowns of fame
Crowns of life;
In glory burns the vctor's name,
After strife.
Do your duty, never swerye--
Smooth or rough
Until God, whom we all serve,
Says Enough"

A PLEASANT AFFAIR

The Invincible held its annual picnic
Saturday at English Lake for the bene-
fit of its employees.
Up till now everybody has been too
busy to give an account of it but "bet-
ter late than never" as the old saying
is. 1t is almost needless to say that
both young and old had a most enjoy
able time; as who would not when
everything was gratis, from every
kind of beverage, sandwiches of differ
ent varieties to all the ice cream one
could master.
Various kinds of games were en-
joyed. The principal one being the
bali game by the single men against
the married men. The final score be
ing 10 to in favor of the single men.
Batteries for the single men were Lou
and Schmidt; for the married men,
Reimer and Schuette.
After every one had partaken of "A
bounteful supper in the dining hall,
both young and old repaired to the
dance hall where dancing was the
principal feature of the evening.
Several songs, well rendered by
Louie Borst, to piano and violin ac-
compartment, were highly appreciated
to the extent of repeated encOres.
All credit should be given the Irwin
chile in their endeayor to give their
employees such an enjoyable time.

The Possibilities
Of a Motor Picnic

EVEN with tinge Of frost in the
49, air, the lure Of the picnic is too
compelling to be resisted. LETS
pack the kit and motor out to the
shore this afternoonw is a popular
cry with young and old.
An auto kit is ideal, Of course, for
such an outing. Nothing is crushed
or spilled. One compartment holds
the dishes, another the thermos bot
tie, while there is still another COM
partment in which large tin box Is
placed, which is divided up for sand
wiches, cakes and fruit. A large
thermos bottle with a wide top for
salads is in the more luxurious kits.
However, IL you are not fortunate
enough to have one of these con-
trivances, try fitting up an old straw
suitcase. 1t adapts itself splendidly,
and at very little outlay Of money
it is possible to picnic in "orderly''
fashion.
Auto picnics are easily planned,
since all food and cooking equip
ment can be carried in the car. Even
a card table can be placed on the
floor Of the motor and conveniently
set up in the car and used, if one Is
averse to sitting on the ground.

1t would take great strength OF
character to resist any Of these deli

A Young Folks Picnic
With Chocolate Flavor

youngsters. 1t really doesn't mat
ter where they go or how.
Chicken and Graham Bread Sandwiches
Strawberry jam Sandwiches
Sweet Sixteen" Sandwiches
DEVILS Food Cake. Fudge Frosaing

Three kinds Of sandwiches have
been planned, hoping that what one
does not like the other will. Childish
appetites are freakish at times. One
plain sandwich is absolutely essen
tial, SO we have chosen the boned
chicken with thin sliced sweet pickle.
Strawberry sandwiches are pleas
ing and relished by most youthful
appetites. The "Sweet Sixteen"
sandwiches, to be sure, will require
no urging. They are square or
round rusks bought from the baker.
Be sure that they are fresh and not
too hard. Frost one side with choco-
late frosting (grated, sweet, eating
chocolate answers) and scatter
chopped nut meats over the top.

Coffee With Sugar
And Also the Milk

THIS can is labeled with admirable
frankness as a mixture of coffee,
milk, sugar and chicory. OF the
latter there is very little, too little
fer the chemist to determine it def
nltely, and there is no objection to
it when honestly declared and duly
flowed for in pricing the article, as
it is much cheaper than the other in
gradients, especially coffee. Many
think that chicory gives body to the
beverage without bitterness; it is
perfectly wholesome and unobjec-
tionable, just as mixing cottonseed
and olive oil is when the proper Ia
beling and pricing are practiced. We
agree with the French that chicory
gives quality to some coffees, like a
cafe au lait, which this is, and it
might we'll be mentioned in large
type!
All agreed that they were very
agreeably surprised at the charac-
teristic favor and color and odor of
the beverage. The taste Of con-
densed milk is very slight and would
rot be detected at all by many. The
coffee is very sweet, so that we were
not surprised when the chemist re.

licious, in the estimation of the real
addicts of the beverage, while others
found it far too strong and wanted
one tablespoonful to the cup. Two
teaspoonsful to the cup, as recon-
mended, makes a weak beverage
more suitable for children and in
valids. Always the thorough cook
ing adds much to the smoothness
and flavor, and beating with an egg
beaten is another refinement that
improves the drink greatly.

"Drinking, baking, cooking" en-

ported A per cent of sugar, nearly
one-half of the whole product, and
almost two-thirds of the solid mat
ter in the can. There is about 8 ger
cent of butter fat, indicating one
twelfth of milk solids, and Oh per
cent of caffein, so that about one
twelfth Of coffee solids are present.
The milk used is the usual condensed
product apparently, but milk that lie
evaporated about one-half as much
as is customary according to the
standards.
In other words, roughly speaking,

the same of sugar and one twelfth
coffee solids and one-tenth milk
solids, with only traces of chicory
and other ingredients. The sugar 10
equal to about three level teaspoons
to the cup.
When made with only one tea
spoonful to the cup, the general con-
sensus of opinion was that it was
too weak, but one and one-half tea
spoons to the cup of boiling water
gave a very agreeable beverage,
with characteristic odor and flavor,
although very sweet. BY a num-
Der Of people, many of them men,
whom we have seen slipping three
teaspoons of sugar into cup of
coffee (even during war time) this
will not be held against the product,
especially in view of sugar prices.
With the larger amount of coffee
a very attractive golden brown color
developed, and an improvement in
every way was noted. Even at this
rate one gets thirty-six cups of cof-
fee from one can, complete with
milk and sugar, for little eyer q
cent cup. 1t is especially recon-
mended for iced coffee, using about
two teaspoons to a tall glass,
when the sweetness assumes even
pleasanter proportions for the aver
age person, and a coffee syrup is af-
forded that is properly diluted with
ice and water.
Because Of its richness and sweet
ness the Bordep's mixture forms an
excellent favoring for sauces on ice
cream and buildings, as we'll as for
frostings and filings for either pies
or cakes. In combination with choc-
late it likewise makes q delicious
drink when served with crushed ice.
When making chocolate fudge or
frcsting try the addition Of small
amount of this canned coffee and you
will be delighted with the different"
flavor that will result. A can of this
coffee can be opened and kept for
several weeks in the refrigerator and
used as desired.
