BE A BOOSTER

Every country, every city, every business, every person
needs a booster. Are you onef II you are, you are inds-
pensable.
Boost your country. Talk for it, not against it. Thou
sands fought for it, surely you can talk for it. Don't dwell
on the hard times and high prices. Things are getting better.
Look for and talk about its good points. Every city has
them # yours hasn't any, you are foolish to stay there.
Boost your city.
Boost your business. Boost your employer. Don't talk
about his weak points. Look for his big, strong worthy char.
aeteristics. He must have them or he wouldn't be head
of a business. Talk about them, in the office and out. His
reputation as an employer is in your hands. If it were not
for him you might have a hard time earning the salary you
do. Prove your loyalty. Boost your employer.
Boost your fellow workers. Don't over criticize, gossip
apout them, and search for their flaws. What if they should
do the same with youf Learn to realize that under the froth
and foam of business there is much goodness and loving kind
ness. Come now, have you not found it so, when the test has
come? Boost your fellow worker.
Boost your business. What better reputation can a bust

on the payroll at every opportunity would boost his business
do you realize what that would meanf.

A Verb, Transitive

q bCEDs 1Id1A51LANO
They are tampering with the
wording of the marriage ceremony
again. That very "obey" is the
body seems willing to "love and
honor" but the obedience idea his
been stirring up talk.
Some of the advanced thinkers
want to change VOW No. 3 to keep"
thus pledging ito love, honor and
keep"
Before we hurry up to the ballot
box to cast our vote for this, let
us lay down the crochet hook for
a minute and find out in the die
tionary just what 1t means.
Mr.. Webster devotes a whole page
to the subject. Under the heading
Of Verb, .Transitive,' he says it
means ito restrain from departure
or removal; to retain in ones
power: to manage; to conduct"
That won't dol
Lest we forget what an import
ant factor in our civilization q
transitive verb is, the dictionary
maker kindly explains that 1t is re-
quiring an object. The object in
this case plainly is matrimony, so
we will proceed with our litt,o
word studies.
At last we have 1t: Keep; to take
care; to be s%olicitous."
But Mr.. Webster lacks an (Obs.)
to the end of it, that being the CODE
sign for mo longer used in our best
literary circles"
So we'll have to start all over
again. ITO last; to endure; not to
sour" we learn further. That
doesn't sound just right, either.
Meaning derived doubtless from the
donjon keep" or castle prison of
medieval days. Thumbs down on
that!
We wish this suggestion to have
every possible chance, so we'll
switch this verb into a noun and
see what happens. In the next
paragraph we find the noun means
provision by which one is kept;
support or maintenance, as the
keep of a horse" Then the book.
goes calmly on to discuss kegs,
kennels and kelp.
There appears to be no alter
native but'to obey.

William Makepeace Thackeray great
English sitirist and novelist of the
last century and his mother, Anre
Carmichael Thackeray. Theirs was a
mutual devotion of true greatness,
a devotion that surmounted all OBJ
stacles that Transcribed all else n
both their rivals.
Thackeray was born in India. His
father died when he was six, and her
love for the little boy was then en-
riched, as she lavished on him all
the additional affection she had felt
for her husband.
It was her love and confidence
that inspired and helped him
throughout his career and tided him
ovsr- his unhappy hours. They
were always together, and he talked
over all his plans with her, accept

bowel activity would hardly come
with too little nourishment. Put the
baby back on the three-hour sched-
ule. No baby should be fed any
oftener. Give the baby a teaspoon
or so of hot water before nursing
Keep the nursing periods to six
minutes on each breast. Feed reg
ulariy. Get some scales and weigh
the baby and see how 1t is growing.
If it has gained from four to six
unces weekly you may be sure that
it is getting enough to eat.
The neighgor's advice is as usual
well meant but dangerous. II the
baby had collie you couldn't do any
thing that would be worse for II
than giving cows milk undiluted.
If it is warmth the child needs hot
water will give it that. If the child
Is not gaining it might be given a
small amount of cows milk diluted
with twice as mucn water after each
nursing. But I think the trouble is
not too little but too much food

Cold Meat and
Vegetable Salad
BY BERTHA T.. SHAPLEIGH
OF Columbia University

This is a good salad to serve as
a main luncheon or supper dish.
Any cold cooked meat may be
used, but chicken Is OF course, the
best, and perhaps lamb comes next
Sometimes one has a piece of
lamb left which Is not sufficiently
large to slice, and yet it is too nice
a piece to chop. Cut this into very
small thin slices. For two cups Of
these pieces add two tablespoons
oil and n tablespoon vinegar
Chat left from mint sauce is X
cellent.) Add also one-half tea
spoon salt, one-eighth teaspoon pep
per and a little grated or chopped
onion. Let this stand in a cold place
until serving time.
Cut cold boiled potatoes into small
cubes and over these put a little
French dressing. Cold peas or green
saring beans and two peeled toma-
toes cut into eighths should be
treated in the same way.
Serve the meat in the center of
the platter and surround it with
lettuce and the vegetables alternat-
ing the vegetables having potatoes
then peas. then tomatoes. Sprinkle
all with finely chopped parsley and
pass mayonnaise or boiled dressing
If desired.

1t won't be long before just such
echoes as these will drift from back
yard marble games.
Bachelor of motherhood" Is the
next degree that is coming IL the
plans of the Institute of Arts and
Sciences at Independence, No, are
carried to fulfillment.
The institute has just graduated
It's first student in "mothercraft," a
course which was established last fall
and which is the first cours Of its
kind in the west.
Mrs. Anna Friend Roberts. mother
of one small daughter. was the grad
uate.
Mrs. Roberts averaged two hours
a day in attendance at the institute.
She took six courses, education and
psychology. history and social sci
ences, biology. English, art and OBJ
~servation and tactics.
A Science
"Mothercraft." according to Mrs.
Flora Grimes, in charge OF that de-
partment at the institute, has ad-
vanced beyond the baby bathing and
dietetics stage.
Not only must a mother know
how to prepare properly balanced
menus for her family and how to
sterilize the baby's milk bottle but
she must keep up on her grammar
so well that she will never split an
infinitive in Johnny's presence and
she must furnish the living room so
artistically that the children would
rather stay home than go to the
movies.
The course in education and psy-
chology in the 'mothercraft" de-
partment gives mothers pointers on
understanding their children's men
tai reactions. Refractory boys and
girls are studied psychologically.
A general course in history and So
cial science enables mother to keep
up" in the dinner table conversation
of her superior offspring.
Everything Covered
The course in biology includes the
physical ARE and development of the
children.
Through a study of English gram
mar and rhetoric, the mother can see
to it the native tongue is spoken
without corruption in the home.
The course in art works war upon
red table cloths, overloaded what
nots, hair wreaths and o~ver-crowded,
unrestful homes.
Observation and tactics include
actual teaching and study of the chill
dren in the institute kindergarten.
The course in "mothercraft" is
planned especially for busy mothers
who haven't had the advantage OF
college e~ducations.
