Shall We Also Serve?

1t seems that one particular
thought stands out in Mr.. Har-
ding's mind above all the others
that he uttered in his inaugural
address. 1t was in true sense
the heart Of the discourse. In
deed, nearly every thought in the
entire address seemed to lead to-
ward this one. Hence, it may be
taken as sign by which we may
read the mind and character
Of our new president. 1t is worthy
OF careful note since it demands of
all of US something which very
many American citizens are un-
willing to render; namely, that we
cease to put our selfish purposes
above the common good. How
many there are who repudiate their
rightful obligations to their fellow
men and look upon every matter
in the sole light Of their own selfish
interests. We know that every
democracy Of the past has fallen
by reason OF this very thing; and
worse yet, it seems to be on the in
crease in our own land. We cam
not read Mr.. Harding's inaugural
address without believing that he
sees this, too. Clearly, his mind
is on this when he says:
Service is the supreme commit
ment Of life. ! would rejoice to
acclaim the era Of the Golden Rule
and to crown it with the autocracy
OF service"
Can we imagine how quickly
the Whole brook of ills which beset
our nation would vanish away if
service were really the supreme
commitment" OF life as he would
have it to be? Our boys who
fought and died for us, of course,
exhibited the spirit OF service; but
what of those who fattened by the
war, turning the whole activity Of
their lives, without thought of
their fellows, to private gain? For
their name is legion.

The Problems Of
HOME AND FAMILY
A Talk with our Wives, Mothers,
and Sisters
Late Guests

Perhaps there is nothing in a
woman's life as the mistress of a
home which is so trying as having
people drop in just before meal
time
Whether the guests stay TO share
in the meal with the family or not
is equally trying, especially if there
is no help in the kitchen as is usu-
ally the case with farmers wives.
Preparing and serving the meals in
any home is strenuous work, and
takes all the attention Of the per-
son who performs the service. 1t
is not only thoughtless and unkind
but rude and ill-mannered to add
the burden Of entertaining guests
to her already strenuous duties.
1t has been the cause OF many a
broken friendship.
1t is doubly embarrassing for the
housewife when the unexpected
guests stay to the meal which had
been planned for only the home
folks, as there is not sufficient for
all, and it is too late to prepare
more.
And it is almost as difficult for
the housewife if the guests do not
stay to partake OF the food as she
cannot be absent from the kitchen
to act as hostess without injury
to the repast which is being pre-
pared.
1t is these seemingly trivial
things that vex the housewife and
make life for her so troublous.
There are always people who are
thoughtless Of others convenience.
What is the remedy? If there
is a remedy it has not been dis
covered and the housewife will
probably be the recipient of these
nerve-racking experiences to the
end of time.
Thoughtful consideration for the
convenience and comfort of others
is necessary part Of a child's
education, and in the moral train
ing Of our youth lies our hope OF
the cessation Of this vexing habit

Corn Fritters


Corn fritters partially thickened
with bread-crumbs have flavor
which is far superior to fritters
made entirely with -four. To one
pint can of corn add two rounded
tablespoonful -four and two eggs.
Beat thoroughly; then add suffi-
Gent breadcrumbs to make bat
ter which can be dropped by
spoonsful; and salt to taste. Fry
in a shallow pan in sufficient fat to
keep the fritters from sticking. AS
the amount of liquid in a can of
corn varies, the exact amount of
crumbs needed to thicken can not
be given.

squeeze some orange juice in cup,
then pour it into the oil, add a !
little more orange juice, and finally
a pinch of soda. The acid of the
orange juice causes the mixture to
foam, and if drunk while foaming,
the oil can scarcely be tasted.
To Mend Leaks
Mend leaks in overshoes or rub
Der boots, galvanized or zinc tubs
and buckets by melting used can
rubbers and filling the leaks.
When you melt the rubber take
small stick and place the melted
gum where needed. Give rusted
utensils one coat of thick white
paint and heat over Gre until dry.
Ironing Board Cover
| Stretch the padding over board
very tightly and tack securely
along the edge Of board. Then
make slips Of new, heavy muslin,
like pillow case, to fit without a
wrinkle; in this way both sides of
!, the board are available for ironing,
+ one side for white clothes, the other
for pressing or for material likely
to color. There is no trouble or
time lost in slipping a clean cover
on the board.
To renovate rancid butter, melt
it in hot milk, removing the scum
which rises to the top. The reno
waited butter can then be used as a
: shortening for cakes and cookies.
When butter goes rancid, try
the following plan: Take as much
butter as you are likely to require,
and put it to soak for couple OF
hours in cold water to which a
good pinch of bicarbonate of soda
has been added. Then take it out
and work up into pat. You will
find that the rancid taste has quite
disappeared, and the butter is as
good as ever.
French toast makes delicious
luncheon or supper dish. To make,
cut stale bread into slices about
. fve-eighths Of an inch thick and
make a batter by beating together
one egg, one cupful milk, sufficient
flour to thicken and salt to taste
Dip each slice Of bread in milk,
then in the batter, and fry on
both sides until brown. Use suffi.
cient fat to keep the slices from
. sticking to the pan. Serve will
! cinnamon and sugar or stewec
fruit.

Raisia Bread

Raisin bread is q welcome SUBJ
stitute for cake. To make, use
one cake of yeast, one cupful ,of
milk which has been scalded and
cooled, six cupfuls of sifted -four,
two tablespoonful sugar, four
tablespoonful of lard or butter,
three-fourths cupful of seeded or
seedless raisins, one teaspoonful
salt. Dissolve the yeast and half
the sugar in the milk and water
which should be lulewarm; add
two cupsful -four; cream the lard
or butter and remainder of sugar
together, and add to the mixture;
beat until smooth. Cover and set
aside to rise in warm place, free
from draft. Leave it until light
about one and one-half hours.
When well-risen, add the raisins
which have been well-aoured, the
rest Of the -four to make soft
dough, and lastly the salt. Knead
lightly. Place in q well creased
bowl, cover and let rise again until
double in bulk--about one and one
half hours. Mold into loaves; fill
well-greased pans half-full; cover
and let rise until light--about one
hour. Bake forty-tive minutes.
Another way is to set the dough
with half a CAKE Of yeast and allow
it to stand over night.
