LETTER FROM JOHN ALDEN
PRESCOTT TO HIS MOTHER
IN-I4AW, MRS. JOSEPH
GRAVES HAMILTON
MRS. IRA M. DOWNEY

DEAR MOTHER:
I hope you will allow me to wish
you the pleasantest of Journeys on
your trip abroad.
1 know you are going to be filled
with pride when you see Alice driv-
ing away for her presentation at
court. l sometimes wonder II Leslie
has any regret in the loss of all
these privileges and festivities. She,
however, seems perfectly satisfied TO
be poor mans wife, especially since
we adopted tho baby.
Leslie writes me that Mr. Hamilton
is much taken with him. OF course
that makes her very happy and l am
extremely glad that you have taken
the ldddie to your hearts, especially
as my mother has not been so kind
about II. She seems to think that
because I gave him the name OF John
Alden Prescott have done something
very terrible. but tell Leslie she is
old-fashioned and we will have to for
give her.
I hope you Will bring back the
governor in perfect health and again
please let me say that you have all
my good wishes for a pleasant jour
ney and a safe return.
Affectionately, your son.
JOHN ALDEN PRESCOTT.

But, in doing this, you try to hurry
life. And that is not the way to find
happiness.
A house, to last, must be built on
a firm foundation. So it is with your
character. and your health. You
should be building that foundation
now. Some day you no longer will
care just to dance and run around.
Then, unless you have built a solid
character you viii find life empty.
You'll get along all right, younger
generation as long as you don't lose
your balance and throw away your
youth. You must build for the fu-
ture, as well as live for the present
remember that, and you won't go far
wrong.

KITCHEN TOOLS

o you ever take an inventory,
so to speak, OF your kitchen
L. utensils and weed out the old
and worthless to make way for the
new and necessary?
It's quite as important for the
housekeeper to have a full set OF good
tools as 1t is for the carpenter or
plumber.
Sharp knives, broad blunt knives,
stiff knives. timber knives, one long
two-tined fork. one short three-tined
fork, assorted spoons, a pair of scis-
sors are as necessary in the kitchen
as the bits and chisels and saws and
hammers are in the carpenters tool
chest. And the housekeeper uses her
tools three times a day, 365 days In
the year. rain or shine.
A ntcked or bent-edged pairing knife
is worthless in the kitchen, so throw
1t away and invest in a good steel
knife that will stand sharpening and
then take care of it. A pairing knife
is a delicate tool and should not be
used for scraping pots and pans nor
prying off refractory lids. II you pay
a good price for a stainless steel par
ing knife with a sharp, easily turned
edge designed specially for pairing
and then abuse 1t you are throwing
your money away. Don't cut down
on a hard surface with a pairing knife.
For instance, when mincing parsley,
put the parsley on a small board
rather than an old plate or saucer.
Economical, Too
When you are baking cookies you
will use the spatula to remove them
from the molding board and again
to remove them from the pan and
again to remove the last bit of dough
from the mixing bowl. A light, fluffy
cake frosting is spread with the spat-
ula and the last trace of the frosting
Ms removed from the platter or bowl
with this same tool. A spatula will
save many times its cost just by being
the means of using every bit of batter
or frosting of pudding or omelet or
anything which must be mixed In. a
bowl.
A wooden spoon is essential for
dreaming butter and sugar and beat
ing stiff mixtures.
A slotted spoon is convenient. for
beating cakes, stirring gravies and
sauces, or beating mashed potatoes If
a wooden masher has been used.
A long timed and long handled fork
is an insurance against burned fin
gers for oven use.
A wire whisk is as necessary as
dover beaten. And the joy OF hav-
ing two sizes Of dover beaters must
be experienced to be appreciated. Very
often it is quite impovaant to beat the
yolk OF one egg. Every houzebeeper

PENSION FUND TO
RECEIVE $1,000
State to Turn Over Money for
Retirement Benefit.

The State teachers retirement fund
will make semi7annual payment Of
approximately $4,000 to the Indian
apolis school city this week for the
benefit of pensioned Indianapolis
teachers and to sustain the fund from
which future pensions will be drawn.
There are about 1900 teachers in In
dianapolIs contributing to the fund.
They formerly were members of a
local pension system, but were made
members of the State unit by the 1921
Legislature. Terre Haute teachers
were also identified with the State
plan.
Pensions are allotted on basis of
years of service previous to the time
of retirement. A disability clause pro-
vides $500 annuity if the teacher has
contributed to the fund for ten years.

It's value as a curative and restorative

and undoubtedly for much longer
period. the pain that is gnawing at
their vital health condition is hard for
a physician to diagnose.
But this we do know-the heart
beats faster in full health when a
brass band strikes up a stirring
march. The same holds true when
We are i'll or convalescing. Mothers
song of other days brought peace to
the heart of childhood when she sang
uway the pain Of cuts, aches or
bumps.
There is a peculiar gland action in
the human body that responds to the
stimulus Of music. The pituitary
gland Of the sphenoid bone in the
Uranium has been accused of sending
out the stimulus in music to which
he body responds during periods of
depression for renewed hope, health
and happiness. Medical science is not
so sure of this, however. but let us
hope it is true.
This situation is a positive one.
Health may be FASTENED for many
patients by the use of music or a
concord OF sweet sounds. The writer

bed for almost two years. Music by
means of radio has restored her
health to a marked degree.
