SCHOOL FRIENDS

Dear Social Corner Sisters: I saw c.
E. SIS letter on Friendship. l thought
it a nice letter. It brought to my mind
another subject, that of schooldays.
wonder how many of us meet our girl
hood friends, classmates also schoolyard
playnlates, look them in the face and
pass on without thinking of those by
gone days. I waiting for them to speak
to me and they are wondering why I
don't recognize them and both waiting
for the others to speak first. My idea
is that when we leave school we go
different ways and not meeting often we
sometimes forget or neglect our school
mate until time and years go on and we
meet as strangers and feel as if we
must be introduced before we feel free
to speak again. Not many weeks before
my dear teachers passed away q had
two I loved, Mrs. Ida Sylvester Harris
and Mrs. R. P Hampstead OsgooO 1
met Mrs Harris oneH at a little time in
Broadway school when she and some
former teachers of the west che sea
district were present. had the pleas
IRE of presenting my son to her and she
remarked it s:alled my early days in
her room Later on we met and walked
! and talked over our school days. It is
and was a. pleasure to me, the memory
| Of those chats with her and if We could
meet and chat with our schoolmates ami
| learn from one and another where this
! boy went and who that girl married how
pleasant 1t would be. After leaving the
different grades why do the teachers
! forget? I attended both High street
| and Pearl street school. frequently
! meet a former teacher of mine and onf
| who is. still teaching. I think and am
! most sure she remembers me but she
| never speaks and I hear others OF her
| pupils so remark. Perhaps we are botf
! at fault in waiting for the other to SPEAK
| first

your letter in The Corner. The fancy
article is not in. frame as it is used
daily in letter writing.
It was with much sadness we learned
of the death of Tidy ABLY. Way back
in the early days of the Social Corner
we had the pleasure of meeting her on
our trip to the picnic at the home of
the departed sister, Aunt Abby. Tidy
ABLY was lady and one who gained
friends with all who met her. She will
be greatly missed in The Corner family
by one and all. Her family have our
sympathy in their great loss.

MATTERS FOR THE FAMILY DOC
TOR

Dear Readers of the Corner: In all
due respect to you. do not like to have
folks ask me things they should consult
their family doctor about.
I will say Ike Janette, Maybe 1
know what's good for myself, but. pre-
scribing for Tom, Dick and the other fell
low, to say nothing of their wives, sis
ters and daughters, isn't exercising the
sense God gave to geese"
The things called indigestion, poor cir
culatien, ETC., are almost as universal as
your grocery, or electric bill, and of all
the Ills that flesh is heir to, they are the
most neglected and least understood by
its victim.
If you look for the root of the mat
ter in the life stream we call ''the blood
may be you can do something towards
self-treatment.
First you must understand what We
eat becomes what we are in the process
of time. Janette also says, decomposi
ton is the rule when "catarrh'' sits bach
and su1ks, and I think the same about
indigestion, the mucous that is absorbed
"gin mill" of iptoxication that beat:
that made of hands.
Ovsr eating is the best little fairy II
the home circle of indigestion.
You wanted I should tell you wha
to eat. Eat vegetables. fruit between
| meals, you know the old saying, an ap
pie a day keeps the doctor away-ar
onion day keeps everybody away. Blu
! just the same have a lot of faith in th'
| homely onion It is a laxative fol
some Use bread made of bran and ca
sparingly,. but remember this is an ever!
day affair Walk 80 minutes every da,
| in the air and your indigestion will i'm
prove. Perseyere in sane living and i
will correct many evils if persisted in
and anything worth the game is wort
real study and consistent effort-isn'
it?

HOW TO COOK LIVER AND OTHER
DISHES!

Dear Corner Members: One sister ask
ed how to cook liver. I would say it
is Is very nice prepared and cooked in
the following manner:
First, if the liver is in a chunk, skin
1t (for the skin is what makes it curl
when frying. Then slice and put in
salt and water s.nd let stand go min
| utes-then take out of the water and
wipe dry. Cut in slices about two in
ches square. Fry about six slices of ba-
con. and use the facon fat to fry the liv-
er in. Dredge the liver in flour and fry
In the deep, hot bacon fat. Pepper the
| liver before putting in the hot fat, cover,
and don't let it fry too fast It isl bet
/ ter to cook slowly. Turn and brown on
| both sides and when liver is done, re-
| move and add two tablespoons of flour,
| stir until all the Jumps have disappear
ed and then pour in one cup of hot milk
| and one cup Of boiling water-add salt
| and pepper, rub gravy bowl with onion
and pour in the dish.
I always try to serve Irish potatoes
and green peppers with liver. With hash
Drowned potatoes q add the bacon that
| fried to have the grease for my liver)
| and some minced green pepers, you have
no idea how appetizing it is.
If I serve mashed potatoes I think
it seems almost unnecessary to givs
directions for preparing this simple dist
/ but many cooks spoil it by using cole
milk instead of hot.
Cook the same as if you were to boi
them, and when the potatoes are quit,
dry. add the boiling milk, and a little
butter. pepper, and salt to taste, beat .ant
whisk until light and very white NJ
one who has not tried this can realiz,
the difference the hot milk makes.
Baked sweet potato: Cut into verJ
small pieces about one and a half pint
cold. boiled, sweet potatoes, arrange
some of, them in loose layer in uhe
bottom of buttered baking dish
| Sprinkle with pepper, salt, two tables
poons brown sugar and two tablespoon

MIR. TRUSS WEARER,


DEAR SIR -
| am taking this opportunity TO
aequaint you with new truss Of
my own design, and which is warm
Iy endorsed by those who wear
them.
My truce originated in this way,
Some years ago ! suffered from Her
mia. tried several kinds of trusses
then on the market, but experienced
a great deal of discomfort and ir-
ritation, being on the whole very
dissatisfied with them. The old
saying that Necessity is the Moth
er of Invention" was borne out in
this instance, as spent a great deal
of thought one volvins truss that
would gently hold the Hernia with
every movement of the body.
The resulting truss was worn by
/ myself with most satisfactory re-
\ suits. For it proved so comfortable
and non-irritstine that nature
eventually healed the Hernia, ano
I today ] go without a truss.
Others have used my truss and
the unvSying opinion has been that
il was the right kind Of truss fer
the purpose.
am writing this in a general
! way to all Truss Wearers- shall
be only too glad TO consider the
needs of individuals If they will
write to me, and ! know that ] can
be of great benefit and relief &c
them.
Yours for comfort and satisfaction
