What May Be Done With An Old
Table Cloth.


With the price of table linen still
high, it behooves US to get the best
possible service from what we al
ready possess, even if their condi-
ton is such as to remove them from
their original sphere. Let US be-
gin economiZing by putting away
the table cloths we now have and
substituting for them our pretty
doilies or make some out of a small
amount of linen, or the substantial
linen-fnish cotton which, when
carefully Numbered, closely resem-
bles linen.
AS to the old tablecloth, which
has probably worn just above the
table edge, hold it to the light and
you will see a thin or broken line
around it. Cut at this line, leaving
an oblong center comparatively lit
tie worn, and a long strip with four
good corners. Cut this strip in
squares and fringe for small doilies
suitable for afternoon tea, or, fold
ed, to remove the crumbs from the
bare table before dessert is served
OF course they may be hemmed if
preferred, but the fringed ones are
better for removing crumbs.
From the oblong, which was left
from the center of the cloth one
may make lunch cloths for small
tables, or little guest towels. Cut
the latter about fifteen by twenty
four inches, turn narrow hem on
the ends. If the cloth is too thin
for the above uses, make children s
bibs, double, or small squares of
two thicknesses to use in lifting
hot dishes from stove to table.
From the poorer portions make
bread cloths to lay over rising
bread.

The greenest grass I ever knew,
The skies that seem the brightest blue
Are over the hills of Dudley.
The prettiest flowers that ever grow,
The softest winds that ever blew,
Sway over the hills of Dudley.
Tho loveliest birds that ever sing,
The welcomest bells that ever ring,
Sound over the hills Of Dudley;
The dearest calls of Whip-o-wills
Come from forests among thoss hiils,
just over the hills of-Dudley.
The brightestmoon that shines at night,
The truest love-the worlds delight,
Shines over the hills of Dudley.
The wisest thoughts that mortals know.
The clearest streams that ever flow,
Move over the hills of Dudley.
The noblest boys that ever were,
The truest girls found anywhere,
Live over the hills of Dudley.
The happiest people that ever live,
The sweetest life that earth oan give,
Are over the hills of Dudley.

MORAL ISSUES
A Great Fact

A man may not accept Chris
tianity as the basis of his life, but
there is one thing he can not de-
ny-that the religion of the cross
is the only one that exhibits a
passion for saving the lost. OH
er religions may have their fierce
propaganda for gaining converts
aud making conqu ests. but Chris
tianity stands alone in its mission
TO the sinful. the sorrowful, the
.despairing. Christ alone mani
tests tenderness and love for the
weary and heavy laden. He
alone says of the sinner, when
he was a great way off his faith:
er saw him and had compassion
and ran and fell on his neck and
kissed him." ."-Michigan Presby-
terian.

3 &Itlis never wise TO live in the
past. There are. indeed, some
uses of our past which are help.
full, and which bring blessing.
We should remember our past
lost condition to keep us humble
and faithful. We should remem-
Der past failures anel mistakes,
that we may not repeat them.
We should remember past mer-
cies. that we may have conf.
dence IN new needs or trials in
the future. We should remem.
Der past comforts, that there may
be stars in our sky when night
comes again. But while there
are these true uses of memory,
we should guard against living
in the past. We should draw
our life's inspiration, not from
memory. but from hopes mot
from what is gone. but from
what is yet to come.-J. r. Mil.

Peanut. Father of $50 Children,
Charlotte Observer

1t sounds almost like fairy
tale. this story of the lowly pea
nut, but it has been left to a
Southern chemist. a negro chem
ist at that. to delve into its posi-
bilities and produce just such an
exhibit of the by-products OF
what we SoutherneIs have for
years regarded as circus fruit.
At the Four-County Fair re-
Gently held at Suffork, Va, this
wizard of his race showed where
it is possible to produce from the
peanut such articles as shoe
blacklng, sweet pickles, toilet
soaps. fertilizer. vinegar, break
fast food, fuel, face cream and
some 140 other varieties of useful
articles.
Prof. G. w. Carver is chemist
al the Tuskeege Normal and In
d,istrial Institute, and his display
of the peanut by-products was the
largest ever shown anywhere,
and needless to say. attracted
wide attention and a variety of
comment.
For 80 years Professor Carver
hes been engaged in the develop
ment of useful by.products from
SOY beans, velvet beans. old.fash,
ioned cowpeas, tomatoes and
sweet potatoes, and had on dis
play so soy bean by-products and
116 developed from the sweet
potato. - -
This old negro chemist Is ex.
perlmenting all the time. He de.
clares the peanut, for culinary
purposes, produced by It's rich
milk is practically unlimited fol
making fancy cheese. nut sage,
chocolate filters. cream bon bons
and Iuany fancy salads. Butter
can be made from the peanut
milk.
The life story- OF this old chem,
ist reads like romance in hls ear
ly struggles for an education.

tunities and won deserved sue.

One Best Path

There are many paths, but only
one best one. In that way God
leads us. If we fail gong in the
right way, II is because of some
thing in ourselves. Just 50 far as
we are willing to obey Gods law,
SO far as we put aside selfishness.
so far as we have cherished the
right character and right motives,
SO far as we sincerely seek to do
right, we shall be led intb the
paths and the places which are
best for us. If we fail. it is be-
cause we are led astrav by our
own wrong desires and motives,
as the. vessel is DETECTED from
her course by currents of the
ocean.--Belfast Witness.

Gods UnnOticed Gifts

Gods best gifts are not even
seen by those who do not make
it the constant purpose of their
life to receive them. 1t takes
spiritual alertness to know any
thing of what is going ON in the
spiritual world of Gods richest
workings. Without such alert
ness and purpose in our lives,
we shall no more be aware of
the wealth of spiritual blessing
and opportunity that God offers
US all the time than a blind man
going through the Grand Canyon
would be of the glorles about
him. II has been said that God
never labels His choicest gifts;"
they are offered 50 quietly that
they are unnoticed save by the
few whose lives are concenirat.
ed in an intensity of purpose to
kno:v Him and to do His will.
But we may all let Christ create
in us this keenness Of vision to
reco .nize our blessings, and give
us tile purpose and the power to
lay hold on them.-Sunday
