Grandmother was right when she said Tanlac was what I needed, for since taking. it, I feel so much better I can hardly realize that I've been sick a day." declared Miss Charlotte Man ley popular young lady of All Front St., Manchester, N. H., recently.
 My appetite and digestion practic- ally failed me, and if I even drank a glass of milk or ate a piece of bread, gas in my stomach and chest and around my heart would pain me dread fully.

HINTS ON EAr1Nc

Dear Soc c Corner Editor: I was in vited to thu Social Corner last month which l enjoyed very much. am send ing some hints on eating.
 No one can have health, who eats too much
 No one can have health who eats too often
 No one can have health who eats when tired, hurried, worried, anxious or excited.
 No one can have health who rises late, guips down a hearty breakfast. swallows sandwich and a glass of milk for lunch and tops off the whole performance with late dinner.
 When you have esNin do not wonder if the food will agree with you. When you begin to wonder, trouble begins,
 If you fear it, do not eat it.,
 If you eat 1t do not feAr it.
 Be cheerful at your meals. A sour countenance will give you sour stom- ach.

On the evH Hling of Nov. 6 (BAzache) Mrs. Mary Whitney was called. A writer from almost the start of The Corner till almost the last week of her life, she has written her bit on different subjects for us. Always a home body, she never could be bcouxht into our club, or any of the lodges or gatherings except the church to which she belonged. She, was ninisterins angel Quiet. in her modest way, she went about doing good, never letting her left hand know what her right was do ing. She did much good work. and now she is caNed. to the higher realm. Many will miss her cheery smile and the hearty shake of the hand, but we can only say She did the best she could under tht conditions around her." and after know. ing her for over 30 years I for one shal miss her letters, papers and seeds, and good thoughts that she was always send ing out to me and others

Dear Social Corner Sisters: What is the matter with you all? Why don't the old writers ,send in something? There are so few letters on our page I don't understand it! Come, wake up, fet Us have shorter letters, and more of them. What has become of Scottie, Gala Lily, Mandy, Joan and a score of others? Get your pen and ink and get busyi Hope tA see every one of the sisters at our next meeting. We had a real old fashioned time this month. We had the grand march and Virginia reel, and number of readings by the sisters.
 One more thing I want to say, and am not alone in saying 1t, and that is let the husbands, sons or brothers come to our dinners, but after dinner VI want the hall to ourselves. It really puts a damper on our good time < have them stay after dinner.

90 YoUR BIT, AND DO IF OFTEN


 Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: The sentiment which appears on the Corner page for last week is verified in the columns beneath: It isn't what we know tha& counts, but what we do" We might add that it also, counts what we do not do.
 From the large number of writers or members of the Social Corner, only twelve contributors occupied three ccl- umns of our page against five columns Of advertisements in the issue of Nov. 4. If this decrease continues the Corner page will become a pAEe of history, end pleasant memories, to former wrfNaas and reAders. Some of the sisters say they have nothing to write about, vet when the club meetings are held there seems plenty of subjects to talk about and everybody has such good time It is true a variety of topics to write on is necessary to interest all and from the large number of Social Corner sis. ters of various ages, conditions of life and surroundings, it would appear thai the supply might greatly exceed the de. n1and. Historical subjects appeal t. many, those of national character, a well as those of our state or locality, Il is amusing sometimes to hear pe0pl, tell of what they have seen, or are ia rniliar with from reading about some thing a long distance from home, bu have neglected to study into importan events or to visit places nearby, mad, famous in Connecticut history.
 As the old saying many men O many minds applies to women also. I appeals to me, the Corner page shoul, not be deficient for subjects Durm, the recent world war, the slogan al over the country was 'emphaticall, urged ,'Do Your Bit"-and these ..wh did not cheerfully and willingly re spond, were regarded as "slackers."

A BOT WHO RAN AWAY.

Dear Editor, Sisters and Friends of the Cocial Corner: Some of the sisters have asked me Why don't you write some thing for the Social Corner?" I really never thought I could ever write much. but if you will give me space in your popular paper I will write of a boy who ran away from his home. It was a. Sun day afternoon and my husband, who was on the way to the doctors. because of Sore hand, found boy crying, lean ing against fence. My husband stopped and asked him why he was crying and the boy told him he had run away from home with two other boys who worked in the mill with him. He said the boys told him he could find work somewhere and make big pay, so he thought he could make good living for his moth- CT if he went, so he ran away. After the boys found out he had money they took it away from him to buy food with and when the train stopped they put him off My husband asked him to come home with him and we tried to have him eat supper but he would not eat a mouth. ful, as he wanted his mother so badly After little he told us where his moth. CT lived and where we could reach hel by phone. We did this and told hel her boy was safe. and would be home in the morning. Then he ate supper ant arter playing games with our children went to bed very tired after riding or a freight train for so long. He slept vel all night and in the morning after eat ing a good breakfast we started for, tn, depot, bought his ticket and sent hin home happy. After the boy reached home we had such a nice letter from hi mother, telling us how thankful she wa to us for our kindness. We only did fo l that boy what we would like anyone t, do for our boy if he did the same thing
 He was about twelve years old and IT
 bet he never ran away again.

Social Corner Friends: I procured from my grocer a lid of cheesebox for hve1 cents. I gave the rim two coats ns white enamel paint, and on each side fastened nickle handle, such as may be bought at the ten-cent store. After the bottom, inside, had been smoothly sandpapered I pasted a piece of flow cred cretonne over it and covered it with a round piece of glass that the glazier cut to it exactly.
 The whole tray, which, complete, would cost three dollars at a shop. cost me with a very little trouble thirty cents
 A good way to tell how much fruit and vegetables you have canned for fu- ture use, and to know how rapidly it is being used is to get piece of thin white cardboard, 26 by g inches. and rule it both horizontally and veFcSa7fy Then write down the name of the fruit or vegetable have canned on the left side of the sheet.

L1eb M1KTors There are loyal hearts, there are spi:- it's brave:
 There are souls that are pure and true; Then give to others the best you have, And the best will come back to you. Give love, and love to your life will flow,
 strength in your inmost need; Have faith, and other hearts will show Their faith in your word and deed. Give truth, and your gifts will be paid in kind;
 And honor will honor meet; And kindly smile will surely find, A smile that is just as sweet. Give helping hand to those in need, And a harvest of golden grain You'll reap some day from the love- sown seed, If you sowed in the Masters name. For life is the mirror of king and Tis just what we. are and do; Then give to others the best you have And the best will come back to you

Dear Social Corner: To obviate the danger of carrying lighted lamps into a cellar or barn, use, instead, this phos- phorus- light. Put a piece of phosphorus the. size of pea into a large bottle of clear glass. Heat olive oil to rle pS.9- ing point, set the bottle in pan of boiling water until thoroughly warmed, and then pour the hot oil over the phosphorus, filling the bottle about one third full Cork tightly and leave until light is needed. Then open the bottle for few minutes, and the fresh air rushing in. will fill the unoccupied place with clear, luminous light. Re-cork the bottle, and the light will continue clear for several days. When it begins to dim, let in fresh air and then re. cork.
