Corner Members: You who have kitch- en or other gardens probably have plant ed Swiss chsrd It grows with little care and the leaves and stalks are equal ly good to eat Chard is like spinach in composition The leaves may be cooked as greens and the stalks as asparagus and both are fine am sending the re- cipes:
 Swiss ChA@d as Asparagus: Cut leaves from stalks of chard. Wash stalks and tie in small punches. Cook in boiling water till nearly tender add salt and finish cooking Drain and keep hot. Put on pieces of hot buttered toast and pour over Hollandaise sauce.

ALL THE WORLD LOVES A LOVER

Dear Social Corner Sisters: After reading the letters by Peterkins and Mercia I come to the conclusion that they seem to have "srouch" against mankind in general
 Can it be that they are like the Miss Pixley, whom Josiah Aliens Wife writes about, who had had five disappointments bittered her? One would almost think should marry. She shouldn't if she don't want to, certainly not. With the views she holds of it now she wouldn't be apt to get much happiness out of it.
 My experience, and I have been mar rled twice and had some observation of other men, is that they are much of muchness" with women. They are not angels and neither are we-far from it, whatever we may be in. the hereafter. And many of them have to put up with just as many whims and ruffied tempers and cranky notions from their wives as we do from them. You see I don't stand l up altogether for my own sex. I know them too well. Some women are not capable of handling money anyhow, and as the old saying is they can throw more out of the house with a teaspoon than a
 man can bring in on shovel.
 l There are two sides to all questions.
 and while grant there are women who
 do not have a fair deal from their hus-
 bands there are just as many more who
 don't appreciate it if they do have it. In my opinion more of the wrecked
 homes of today are because neither par
 ty is or tries to be satisfied with the oth-
 CT for any length of time. They so hunt ing in fresh fields and pastures new for
 an affinity and when they think they have found 1t in short time they are
 no better satisfied than before. There is
 no perfection in this world and we have Tor ought to make up our minds to bear with other peoples faults as they have Ito with ours. And those who can't do that better stay single. While there are
 some men who are stingy in dealing out
 money to their wives there are just as
 many who would give them any amount
 willingly but they do not always have il
 to give.
 It seems to me these two sisters have
 been unfortunate in their acquaintance
 and all the bad traits of human nature ihave come under their observation bu
 whatever we think while the world last. people will still marry and be given 1T marriage as of old, which is fortunate as otherwise the human race would TUT : out entirely. The good book says ''It i , not good for man to live alone" Nei ther is it for women, and although thos, who enjoy single blessedness are counted 5 among the salt of the earth, still VI need something besides salt
 Most of us have known dear old mai den aunts and friends who were bless ing to everybody, and then again v = have known others who were so crank and uncomfortable to live with that no e body wanted them. But they were no 6 always single from choice many hay a tragedy of some kind hidden in thei o hearts which, according to their naturs g disposition affected them in differen a ways. One sex was made for the othe s and as 1t always has been so will it al ' ways be. "An the world loves a lover.

CANNING PINEAPPLE.

Dear Corner Folks: One-fourth year Rueh as we had this week is enough I fhink I can imagine some of the other Histers feeling the same way about it without being considered in the least un- patriotic
 Since then. however, I've been making the most of the cooler days to do some canning and I wonder how many of the elsters do up pineapple. I use the cold pack method. First cut the pinea pple into slices because 1t is easier to pare than the whole pineapple. Remove the ayes. Cut into cubes of the desired size. Put these cubes into a wire bas- ket or into a piece of 'cheesecloth and lower them into enough boiling water to cover; put the cover on the kettle and let them "blanch" in this way (under steadily boiling water) for five minutes Then remove at once and hold the Rheeseeioth for a moment under cold run hing water tnever let it soak in colo water, ss this inpairs it's delicate fla.

SELF DESIRE MUSTN'T DISREGARD
 SELF RESPECT,

Dear Sisters of the Corner: Even be- fore the war times you have probably heard many complaints or, if it isn't complaining, sort of pity themselves be- cause of the inability to do as others do But suppose we can't do just what we see others can do, because of the purse limit. That's no cause for discomfort. but rather for striving a little harder if the goal is worth while. If it isn't on second thought, why strive for that par ticular thing?
 Before we attract happiness to us- and happiness is a RckIe jade and must feel the force Of attraction if she makes us more than a neeting visit-we must put our lives on an honest basis Want ing a thing just because another has it. regardless of it's suitability for us, isn't honest Desiring something just to out shine someone else isn't honest nor is the habit of putting on better front than that which Is behind will warrant
 The oft-repeated saying that people fudge us by what they can see of our outward show has been much overwork. ed. Like many oft-repested sayings il is but half truth, and half-truths have rebound that is not pleasant It's tru, that superficial friends look only at tn, outside-but are we to eater merely tt that variety? There's always something fine lost us when honesty is exchanged for prevarication. straightforwardness for shiftiness. If we lose self-respec all else is small in exchange
 If we've grown 50 hardened with self desire that we cannot see this. we've los
 one of life's dearest possessions. Wha
 we may gain will never make adequat
 recompense. That way lies danger } Can't we see il?
 Best wishes to the Corner and hop you all had 8 glorious Fourth.

couNr rom nnuRa

Dear Corner Folks: How do you like the hot weather? I confess have been doing as little as possible but I have beeD making every stroke count. You perhaps know some women who seem to regard their own time as worthless. They wouldn't admit such belief, yet when they figure the cost of anything they have made 1t is clear that they figure their own time as being worthless. It matters not whether they have spent one hour or forty in the making of an arti- cle. when they tell you how much it has cost they speak only of the price of the materials. So in speaking of the cost of certain dishes They do not figure the difference in time cost of a beefsteak that takes ten minutes in preparation for the table and meat cIoquettes that take more than an hour.
 Of course it is absurd to overlook the value of a womans time, for although she may not actually have any way of turning ner time to actual money. there are always money-savins things that she may do at home, that make her time worth as much money as she can save If by wsrlking ten hours she is able to make s10I worth of material into a coat that could not be bought for less than SIP then her ten hours of labor are
 
 she would not have bought for $50 hel ten hours of time is worth $20.
 ] With the housewife of even ordinary abilities there is always an endless op portunity for her to conserve, so ther' Is hardly time when her time rightly spent could not be of real cash value That is. the housewife almost never get, to the point where she can say, TT may well spend an hour in making 1ighter that will save fve-cent box of matches My time is worth nothing and anythini save is therefore our gain"
 Red Raspberry Fluff: For a hot wea ther dessert I find red raspberry fuf delightful. It Is made this way: Chfl one and one-third cups of red raspberrie On ice. Chill the white of one egg ol ice. Pack bowl in crushed ice and pu berries, white of egg and one cup 0 confectionery sugar into the bowl; bea with a heavy wire egg whip until mix lure will keep its shape; from thirty-fiv to forty-five minutes will be required fo beating mixture to this stage where will stand" Pile lightly in chilled shaI low glasses lined with lady finger. Serve very cold and garnish with fe' large red rsspberries.

 Mountain View: Does daisy wine have any medicinal value?
 Mercia: Why should you, indeed if you don't want to? If you really enjoy studying the tastes of dozens of men, rather than making a special study ot one, why then you have that privilege Only when you get them all classified, what then? In other words, what pay dc you expect tc get for the job?

CLOTHES AND THE MAN.

X Deas Corner Members: When I read Etta Barber's letter, Living Our Lives. it made me think of letter Bruce Bar ton wrote about.
 Do clothes make the man?'' I think that is an interesting question.
 Would the king of England still be every inch a king if he wore overalIs and smoked a clay pipe1
 Would J. P. Mcrgan, with a patch in his trousers be as great a power in f- nance as he is in perfectly fitted suit9
 In the year 1915 President G. Stanley Hall of Clark university sent out a series of questions to ITO young peo- pie.
 It would pay all the young people to write these questions down that are in business and answer them personally by recalling their own experience Question l was How does sense of being well dressed or the opposite effect you? l How are you affected by shabby CT III fitting gloves or shoes1 | From the 1T0 answers Bruce Barton said he selected those answers which
