There is only one road TO the town of
Success
The name of the road is Work"
1t has room for only honest guests,
Traffics blocked to those that shirk.
The road is open all hours of today,
1t heeds neither time nor date,
And now is the time to start on your
way,
Por tomorrow will be too late.
Nearly all of the way is an uphill road;
1t will seem like a tough old fight
But once on your way just bear up
your load
And keep going with all your might
You will pass through many towns
each day
Such as Failure Gloom and Despair;
At each of these stations just keep on
For Work" does not tarry there.
After you have entered the town of
Success"
Tho your load may have been hard
to bear,
Once inside you will find both comfort
and rest,
Just be thankful you started for
there.

Kitchen Hints
Tempting Menus

Lard kept for deep fat frying
sometimes absorbs fiavors. Unless
II has been badly scorched all traces
Of faint may be removed by the
means of raw potato slices.
Put the lard in a kettle and add
a raw potato cut in slices an eighth
of an inch thick. Heat slowly and
when hot enough to use for frying
remove the potato.
Menu For Tomorrow
Observation-Disclosures, fried
bread, strip, coffee.
LUNCHEON-Open sardine sand
witches, shredded pineapple, cocoa
nut macaroons, tea.
DINNERJ4Ham and eggs, cream
ed new potatoes, dandelion green's
fruit salad, crackers and cheese,
coffee.
My Own Recipes
One canned pear, half a grape
fruit, dozen canned cherries. drained
from juice, a banana, an apple, per-
haps some pineapple left from
lunch. and maybe some raisins
carefully stoned and pumped
these bits in themselves seem
scarcely worth while, but combined
they make a perfectly good salad.
Instead of using maSonuaise or
boiled salad dressing let Lne IFulL
stand in French dressing for an
hour and put a spoonful of whipped
cream on each plate to serve.
Open Sardinc sandwich
Sardines, leaf lettuce, lemon juice
tomato ketchup. hard-boiled eggs,
bread and butter.
Put leaf of lettuce on each slice
of bread and butter. Add sardincs
opened fiat. Allow half an egg for
each person to be served and chop
eggs finely. Sprinkle lemon juice
over sardines, add chopped egg and
pour ketchup over to moisten.
Serve a thin slice Of dill pickle on
each plate.

One freshly grated cocoanut, one

just where the thing started no
body knows-probably cons ago
but you will do it.
Otherwise you're a model-an alb
solutely conventional man, without
a single glaring fault--but you just
will tell Nancy about her clothes.
Invariably when Nancy buys a
purple pansy to adorn her Sunday
bonnet you assure her that she
would have been twice as fetching
had she selected a yellow pansy..
If she buys a bit of lace for her
pettibockers you are certain that
ribbon would have been much
smarter.

Why, you ask her, didn't she seek
your aid in selection when she ar
rives home with several days work
worth of something you don't like?
All, yes, you are quite a model.
Most of the time you will let her
have her own taste in soups and
salads. You will grant her her W

to her own mail, but when 1t comes

Ah-they are quite a dlItefent

of trees and drying her tears on a

else she wants but she must not
have her own clothes-they are

Bronchitis
My little boy, four. has a terrible
case of bronchitis. This bronchitis
cough starts in about September and
keeps up all winter. He is .croupy
at night, but during the day it seems
more hard and dry. Many people,
including doctors, have told me he
wifi outgrow it, but steady coughing
must injure the throat, lungs and
heart, / think.
Chronic bronchitis, or bronchial
asthma, is one of those difficult, try
ing conditions that are hard to con-
troll in some climates.
Sometimes the condition is found
to be caused by the presence OF ade-
noids or enlarged ~tonsils, or other
forms of obstruction to normal nasal
breathing. If such obstruction is
present it demands careful attention
by a qualified physician.
Great care should be taken to see
that the child does not suffer from
malnutrition. Weigh and measure
him frequently to see if his weight
is up to the standard and If he is
gaining steadily.
Feed him generously, but careful
ly, and see hat he receives a suit

leafy vegetables. fruit. etc. but do
moi let him have foods that disagree
with him or which you have noticed
