SPRING GREENS
DANDEIIONS

Dandelions are considered an eXcel- lent liver tonic by physicians. They contain valuable properties of pot ash a- salts. so they are no longer neglected field products, but have taken a position equal to spinach, ohard and other perfectly good VeGe- tables in the cultivated gardens.
 Dandelion greens should be thor oughly washed after decayed leaves are discarded and left staning in cold salted water for one hour to remove insects that may be clinging to the leaves. It should be colled in an un- covered vessel and be sure the salted water is boiling before putting in the dandelion. To eliminate the objeeT tionable bitter taste change the water once in the cooking and add q tiny bit of baking soda to the first water Dandelions require only 10 or 15 minutes cooking and when teu- der should be drained.
 As . Vegetable.
 After cooking and draining, chop dandelion fine. For half q peck or the vegetable melt one tablespoonful butter, add juice of half q lemon, or one teaspoonful of vinegar, and salt and paprka to taste add the chopped dandelion and heat thor oughly.
 A Salad.
 Select the most tender leaves of fresh dandelion. Wash thorouEhlyt shake well in wire basket and chill, Mix with d bacon dressing or arrange leaves Cn dish. cover with chopped. hard boiled eggs and thin shaVings of white onions. then pour on the French dressing.

Either of them should strive to mould his or her life and acts in such way as to retain the affection and the respect and the discipline of the other. l do not believe this calls so much for discipline as it calls for cooperation and an honest effort on the part of the senior member to get upon basis of complete and proper understanding with the junior of the old established firm of Parent & Child.
 We cannot rule the lives of others To undertake 10 do so is, In my be- lief. a mistake. But we can seek, largely by example, to guide into good channels the lives of those who will bear our names and the strain of our blood in the next generation. That's sufficient job for any man or any woman, and to my way of think ing, a most laudable one.

 There are so many angles to this subject of the responsibilities of par enthood l hardly know where to be- gin. l am certain that did 1 under take to go thoroughly into it, I shouldn't know where to stop.
 It Is pretty generally understood- and conceded-that the best authori- ties on the science of rearing off spring are those who have never had any, In this field they are the pro- fessionals, Not being hampered by children of their own. they naturally have more time to devote to the task ef telling other people how to rear the children that these other people have or have had or expect to have. As compared with them, 1 merely am an amateur.
 But if I were trying to sum up in a paragraph or two my views on this topic l should say that a joint obli- gation rests upon parent and child
