Nuts and Meat
Some one has said fhat Instead
of considering nuts as a meat sub.
sdtnte meat should really be called
a nut substitute.
Nuts are natures meat, used, per.
haps. before any cooking was
known. We have grown accustom.
ed to using nuts as an addition to
a meal. combining them with rails.
ms and fruit
That combination Is ideal, but
might take the place OF a part or
the meal, supplying the body's
needs. instead Of coming at the
end.
Nuts are a very concentrated
food material, and "a much smaller
portion Of a nut loaf Is needed than
that OF a meat dish.
Many nuts are rich in oil. as pea.

A I I FORGETTING

If you would increase your happi-
ness and prolong your life, forget
your neighbours faults. Forget all the
SANDER you have ever heard. Forget
the temptations. Forget the fault
finding and give a little thought to the
cause which provoked it. Forget the
pe~culiarities of your friends and only
remember the good points which make
you fond of them. Forget all personal
quarrels or histories you have heard
by accident, and which if repeated,
would seem a thousand times worse
than they are. Blot out as far as pos
sibIe all the disagreeables of life.
They will come, but they will grow
larger when you remember them, and
the constant thought of acts of lean
ness, or worse still, malice, will only
tend to make you more familiar with
them. Obliterate everything disagree
able from yesterday. Start out with a
clean sheet for TO-DAY, and write upon
it for sweet memory's sake only those
things which are lovely and lovable.-

HUNTS THEATRES FURNISHING
GOOD ENTERTAINMENT

Hunts Theatres, the year-round
entertainment provider for Wildwood
folk, are doing themselves unusual
honors in the form of entertainment
they are providing for local theatre
goers this winter. Their new policy
Of closing the Casino except for three
nights a week and giving first run pic
lures during the three open nights is
proving a very good system. The pic
lures they are presenting here on these
nights are not only the latest, but
Wildwood is getting them in many
cases before or at the same time that
they are being shown in Philadelphia,
New York and other Eastern cities.
Last week Rodolph Valentines big
feature, BLOOD and Sand" was shown
here at the usual prices. Though this
feature is a little late coming, never
theless in the other places it has been
shown previously a raise in prices
has been the usual policy. The local
management not only gave us the pic
ture in it's entirety at the regular
prices, but they also added to the en-
tertainment by contracting with Miss
Margaret Graessle to sing several
numbers during the showing of the
picture. These numbers were in
keeping with the picture and Miss
Graessle sang them in a name that
would do credit to a much older per-
son. Her voice has been heard be-
fore in Wildwood, SO we will not take
any space to describe it to our read
ers, but suffice to say that it is pleas
ing. to hear and of a style seldom
found in non-professional artists.
The augmented orchestra di~scoursed
music that any large moving picture
house would have been proud of. The
orchestra consisted of pipe organ,
violin and piano.
This week the Hunt management is
bringing two more big new pictures
to us. The first Of these is John
Barrymore in Sherlock Holmes"
The second is Wallace Reid in "Clar-
ence." Each of these pictures are
still being shown in the playhouses
of the cities and Wildwood is indeed
fortunate in seeing them so soon.
They are both "super-features" and
are sure to be enjoyed by u local
movie fans.

SCOTT APARTMENTS SOLD

The name of the purchaser is not
known, but it has been definitely as
certained that John Scott, of Phila-
delphia, the wholesale grocer, has
sold to someone in that city the three
story apartment building situated at
1872 East Wildwood avenue, Wildwood,
nearly opposite the Journal office.
The price is thought to have been
about $11, 500. David McKibbin says
he had offered $1,000. The asking
price was understood to have been
$4,000. Lots in this vicinity are 40 x
100. For several years the store on
the first floor was occupied by Miss
Scott as an art needlework store. The
Scott building was erected about IA
years ago and has always been con-
sidered a very substantial structure
and a profitable investment. Mr..
Scott has always been very much in
terested in and owns some valuable
lots in the Sd ward.

GOOD FOOTBALL

Those who do not follow the foot
ball records from week to week do
not recognize the true standing of
Cape May County schools in this
strenuous sport. Only a short time
ago Wildwood High defeated Millville
by a score of IA to 0, and last Satur-
day at Cape May the Cape May team
trimmed the boys from Pleasantville
13 to O.
These scores if properly studied
have a real significance in the world
of sport, for they mean that even
though the lower part of Cape May
County is away off from the metro
politan centers, it has a right to be
considered.
For instance, take the case Of Cape
May. Saturday, rs has been stated,
it defeated Pleasantville IL to 0. This
team played ties with Bridgeton and
Glassboro. Moreover it was defeated
by the far-famed Hammonton team by
only ~ to 0. This meal If compare
tive scores are any criterion that Cape
May is as good as Hammonton.
Now refer to Wildwood. In the first
place Wildwood has not only a tie
over the Capes, but a victory over
them in Cape May, and is therefore
ahead on the record Of the season.
Again, Wildwood beat Middle twice,
while Cape May suffered a defeat in
one of it's two games with the lads
from the center of the county. Hence
Wildwood leads the county.
To continue discussion. Wildwood
has a victory over Millville by a
score of IA to 0, and Millville has vic
tories over Woodstown, Salem and
Darby.
On the basis of comparative scores
Wildwood can be shown to have a
team capable of giving Hammonton a
stiff argument for any championship
Just once more to return to the dope
Wildwood beat Cape May, Cape May
ran up a bigger score on Pleasant
Vile than did Hammonton, Harmon
ton defeated Atlantic City and Allan
tic City tied with Camden. What's thu
reason Wildwood cannot claim the
South Jersey championship of all th'
schools in this section?

CAN YOU DO IT.

If you are face to face with a task
that seems impossible, consider this
In 1927 the Boston Courier said edi-
torially, "The project of a railroad
from Boston to Albany is impractic-
able, as every one knows who knows
the simplest rule of arithmetic, and
the expense would be little less than
the market value of the whole terri
tory of Massachusetts; and which, if
practicable, every person of common
sense knows would be as useless as a
railroad from Boston to the moon"
Nevertheless, "crazy Missionaries"
went ahead and laid a network of
railroads. Having imagination, they
c~lairvoyantly sensed the future in
store for New York and other states.
Men of the sort of those early rail-
road builders are the forces which
drive humanity steadily along the road
of progress. They prove that virtu-
ally nothing is impossible.
When the elevated railroad was first
suggested, even Old Man Vanderbilt
roared with laughter. "Impossible!"
he declared. Whoever heard of a
railroad on stilts?" Nevertheless, the
gentlemen who refused to admit that
anything might be impossible went
ahead with their plans. They built
the elevateds. Wonder what Wander
bilt would have said about a proposal
to bury tracks, trains and passengers
in subways?
The history of human failure is a
never-ending serial story, each install
ment a repetition of Its impossible"
and 81 can't do it."
The history of success is a much
smaller volume. But it also is a
never-ending serial story, with the
characters muttering firmly, moth
ing is impossible" and "I1l do it or
die in the attempt"
All powers and talents. of man, all
national wealth of the earth, are
merely fingers on the hand known as
Human Will Power.
Without a never-lagging will power
nothing can carry you through to sue
cess. With will power you can attain
what you want, even if some of the
fingers of human ability and wealth
are lacking.
Will power cannot be developed, for
it lies dormant in every persons char
acter. What we call development of
will power is merely the bringing to
life Of a sleeping giant.
That giant, if not already reused,
can be wakened in you in the twink
ling of an eye.-Rural Weekly.
