DYING POOR

epiiaph:
What ] spent had;
What ! saved lost;
What gave have.
Therein is summed up the whole philosophy Of the
uses OF wealth. The had spent some OF his fortune
and had some IT, but at death nc considered him
self well on because there si remained to his credit that
part OF his estate that he had given away. what gave

Only the other day another New York philanhropist
announced his intention Of dying by spending all his
wealth for good works. Yet though he strip himself
Of his last penny, such man does not die poor.
BY putting It good use he Increases the worth Of his
fortune lie converts dollars into social values. And
though in the end he be poor Lazarus, he is richer
The genuine treasures OF spiritual satisfaction and con-
enment FAR beyond the dreams Of those who pile up dol
lars without end and never find riches

There is another epaph In point II is carved the
tombstone Of a schoomaster who died without fortune
but rich in the treasures OF work well done.'

STRETCHING AN EGG.

Eggs are still expensive, although IL is
about time We began TO notice a fall in
their price. Moreover, the water glass
that one hopes YOU put down last summer
aTe probably nearing their end and so eggs
To YOU are scarcer than they will be again
until this years supply of wator-glass eggs
shall have been exhausted next spring.
There are ways Of stretching eggs, as
you probably know. Here are some Of
them that may prove useful.
You can make "a delicious mayonnaise
dressing by using half as much white sauce
as YOU have mayonnaise, mixing the two
together after both are made, and adding
extra seasoning. This saves oil rs well as
egg.
Always use little cream tartar in
meringues and thus help them to stand up
we'll
y little baking powder-just little
may be added to your omelet or scuffie 20
make it puff without quite so many eggs,
Remember, however, that such an omelet
has less nutriment than one made with
more eggs. You can overcome this diff
hculty by serving some other hearty dish
at the same meal or by adding some sub
stantial filling 10 the omeI {. This sub
stantial filling in itself helps TO stretch the
eggs Boiled and drained macaroni. sea-
soned, and with little butter added. is
delicious added TO an omelet when IL is
about half cooked II increases both the
bulk and the nourishment of the omelet.
OF course there are all sorts of eggless
recipes that We got used to during the war.
But eggiess cake IS not so good as cake
with egg That is an incontrovertable
fact. IL Is all right If 1t is necessary, but il

Billy lowered ms head and shook his
horns and then he looked up, but there
stood the man. He did not seem TO be
the least bit afraid of Billy; in fact he
shook one leg at him, and this made Billy
very angry indeed.
Down went Billy's head and this time
he ran al the man. Bump went his head
and over tumbled the scarccrow, and again
Billy Goat butted
When he saw the straw sticking out Of
the coat sleeves and the legs OF the trousers
he stood still and STARED.
He lifted his head and looked around TO
see if anyone was In sight on whom he
could take revenge, for ne was very an-rv
now, and there on top OF the stone wall
sat Mr.. Dog and Miss Tabby laughing
at him
Billy Goat started for them, but the
stone wall was all he coCld use his horns
on. so he stopped and looked up at them,
shaking his head IN q very threatening
manner.
Thought il was live man, didn't
you, Billy" said Miss Tahby, who felt
much safer than Mr.. Dog because there
was a tree by the stone wall.
II you will promise never to bother rs
again We won't tell anyone how you were
fooled. viii We, Mr.. Dog?"
Mr. Dog said he wouldn't and as he was
not in a position 20 make any other bar

BILLY GOAT IS FOOLED.

Billy Goat lived at the farm where Mr..
Dog and Miss Tabby lived and while they
never really guarrelcd somehow Billy Goat
seemed to be able to scare away Mr. Dog
or Rabby by shaking his head at them.
II Mr.. Dog was eating q very nice dinner
and Billy Cont happe.ed to peek through
the board fence and think he would like IL,
he just ran around the barn and trotted
right up TO the dish where MIR. Dog stood
and down went his head in a threatening
manner and off would run Mr.. Dog.
Even Miss Tabby, who had sharp
claws and could look very fierce when
she bumped her back, could not sclre
Billy Goat. He tumbled over once with
his horns and since then Miss Tabby did
not stop TO show her claws when Billy
came trotting into the barn yards she
Just ran in.
Mr.. Dog and Miss Tabby had long
talks about Billy Goat, but they never
were able to think of plan to subdue him.
One day it happened that Mr.. Dog
and Miss Tabby. took walk down by the
corn field and whom should they see
trotting along the road but Billy Goat.
They hid in the tall bushes and grass
by the stone wall, thinking he would 90
along, bat TO their surprise, he jumped
over the wall aud ran into the lid
The farmer had put very life-like
looking scarecrow 10 brighten away the
birds and when Billy Goat came up to

in one hand, he stood still, waiting for

CANDY.

Candy can be either sucked, chewed
or allowed to melt and run down, de-
pending Oh wat kind it Is. The most
Exciting is the kind that melts and runs
down, sutch as chocklit Green's, but the
best wearing kind Is the kind you can
suck, sutch as sour balls. Some fellows
can make 6 sour ball last a hour Jest
by not working it too hard, and they also
get crate plezzure IN taking it out every
once Id vile to see how mulch smaller
it Is and Il its color has changed eny.
The saddest moment OF sour ball
Is wen it gets 80 little II cant do enything
elts but disappear.
The most Exciting candy to bite in
hall Is assorted chocklits, on account
Of you never wat they're stuffed with
fill you bite and look, and then if you re
disappointed you can ixchange the other
hall with sumbody that's got other
half that you like and they don't Wen
people eat assorted chocklits hole without
caring wat they're stuffed with, its a
sine they're getting old and careless.
The 2 most Hciting things to find inside
OF assorted chocklits is loose iooce and
cherries.
The stingiest kind Of candy TO eat
Is all day suckers, because you can
suck one rite in frunt OF sumbodys
lace oD account OF knowing they have
100 mulch pride to ask You for eny
OF II. The poiitest thing TO say wen
you're eating q all day sukcr Is, I'm
sorry | started TO suck this or ] would
offer you some.
Il you arc eating q peppermint stick
and enybody asks you for a bite, the
safest way lis TO hold your thumb so

An Old Subscriber aquatic plants
suitable to grow IN an aquarium are:
Myriophyllums, charas, ell-grass, duck
meats, or lemDas. cabomba or fish grass,
arrow -leafs, or sagittaria, also the parrots
feather (which is species of myriophyl-
lum). Get these from florist. Besides

snalls and water insects You are wise 20
try to balance plant life and animal life
in your aquarium, for when this is done
IL is not necessary to change the water so
frequently. The temperature should be

ordinary animals and plants. DO not
