Do You Need a
Change of Diet ?

The doctor used to look at your
tongue. Now he may ask a row Of
questions. But his advise is about the
same as of long ago. He advises
change Of diet. He wants you to eat
something which is more agreeable to
your stomach and will make you feel
better. You follow his advice and are
rewarded.
The doctor of the soul, the priest,
after hearing your story, which, when
told, unburdens your mind and con-
science, also gives you wholesome ad-
vice and you feel like new man.
Did you ever stop and think Of what
is the cause of the unrest in your
mind after reading the morning paper
on the way to work or after reading
the evening paper? Examine your.
self or another member of the family

The vagrant breeze is murmuring
The same dear, happy tune,
With fragrant whispers promising
The coming joys Of June.
The happy bees and butterflies,
Forgetting winters cold,
Mid blossoms stray
The livelong day

The lads and lasses pass me by
They have not changed at all;
Soft glances fly from eye to eye,
Love still hath power to thrall;
Ay, hearts are won and VOWS are
made
That shall forever hold,
But listening L.

Unless your fine taste has been
dulled by the slush you have clogged
YOUR mind with while reading the

and shuddering at the looseness OF
the world and it's manikins. Time and
again you find that which looks like
leading story is but the coddling OF
criminal or the details of the make
up, habits, hobbies, etc., of a scarlet
woman.
Almost the reverse of that which
has been taught you as respectable
and proper is popularized in the aver
age cheap daily. It's everybody's
business, and therefore nobody con-
siders himself called to make pro-
test or to lead in reform efforts. AT
best every effort looks hopeless, and
so the daily keeps right on unhamper,

jectionable parts of the news ane
views seem less glaring. Your flint
taste has given place to indifference
, and condonance.
You may not know it, but you nee

The Ladder of Life

Life is ladder all the way; it does
not become plain, easy, fower-lined
path after a time. A really earnest
and faithful Christian life is never
easy. Here is the key to all growth
of character. We must rise by daily
self-conquests. We must make STEP
ping stones Of our dead selves. Every
fault we overcome lifts us a little
higher. Every bad habit that we
trample down becomes a ladder round
on which we climb upward out of
groveling and sinfulness into noble
being.
Newark post. (Newark, Del.) 1910-1969, 1921-05-18

The realm of Natures just the same,
The same the skies above,
The faithful stars are constant flame
And brightness give to love;
They, just as kind, are looking down,
Their radiance is not doled,
Unfaded still
On vale and hill
only have grown old.
Alack-a-day, to human hearts
What can their spring restore?
All, when it's loneliness departs
IT'S gone forevermore,
Each year the curving rose renews
Unfolds it's petals sweet,
But man alone,
Howe'er he moan,
| His spring but once shall greet.

The Same Young Spring

The same young spring is back again,

For The
Homemaker's Eye
Bread Pudding

Few people will admit that they
like bread pudding, and the reason Is
not far to seek, for the watery COM
mounds, dotted with a few currants,
served under that name are not very
inviting or appetizing. The founda-
ding usually consists Of a generous
quantity of rich milk and eggs,
with bread used as an incidental. Do
not be deluded into using SKINNED
milk, or half milk and half water, or
emitting the given quantity OF eggs.
Tt is the better plan to heat the milk,
and after the bread is added mash 1t
thoroughly with wire potato masher.
Then remove from the fire, add the
beaten eggs and other ingredients, put
into a buttered baking dish and cook
in a nan of hot water. The pudding
will be cooked when thin-bladded
knife can be inserted in the center
and drawn out clean. So long as the
knife looks milky it is under-cooked
Fresh fruit combined with bread in
the form of an appetizing betty" al
ways furnishes a popular desert, ano
if sweetened whipped cream or gooo
hard sauce is served with it there are
few more delicious dishes.

Keck Is as good. II not a better,
tackle this year. but injuries pre-
vented him from being at his best
in the Yale game. A number OF
critics for that reason may weaken

Il is impossible TO overlook his great
ability.
In the west. Mcclure n rated as
great tackle. In the first two pc
riods OF the Chicago Princeton

Keck. Coach Roper easily explained
this by saying that Princeton had

his line to play high and keep their

a running game on tackle and round
the ends. The Chicago forwards,
