"MoTHER OF MINE"

(Written in Commemoration of
Mothers Day.
In memory's garden plainly can
see,
The dearest and sweetest of roses
to me.
It's fragrance and beauty all others
outshine,
I'll give it the precious name.
Mother of Nine"
From the heart of this rose with
its petals of snow,
Cleans a radiance bright, with
ETHEREAL glow;
AS gaze through its halo, l see
there enshrined,
A vision of loneliness, tina" Mother
of Nine"
| see her dear face with its heav-
emily smile,
That silver crowned head she'd
ding glory the while;
Those kindly blue eyes filled with
love near divine,
The fairest of all, was this
Mother of Mine"
l hear her sweet voice sounding
like music's own,
Played on harps by the angels,
around the white throne;
While she whispers a prayer in
tones so sublime,
God keep watch DER my child,
wonderful Mother of Mine"
| feel the soft touch of her gentle
hands,
Soothing my brow as beside me
she stands;
Pressed close to her bosom, her
arms round me Irvine,
oWeeuy lullS me TO steep, blessed
Mother of Mine"
The Master tread softly in this
garden so fair,
Mid stiffness and beauty, through
sweet perfumed air;
He paused to listen to a heavenly
chime,
And drew close beside the rose,
Mother of Nine"
All! here is the rose with the heart
pure as gold,
You have blossomed and cheered,
both the young and the old;
Your fragrance has frightened the
earth and mankind,
So He plucked for Himself, this
sweet 'Mother of Mine"
In His bosom He carried it, then
laid it with care,
On the snowy white pinions of an
angel so fair;
Then upward they scared to that
heavenly cline,
Where she'll bloom eyermore,
dearest Mother of Nine"

In Place of Good Food

A HEALTH authority in England
"a the other day said that he
q u feared that Britain was becom-
ing a nation of dose fiends-and he
believed that this increased craving
for the medicine bottle was due to
bad cooking and unsatisfactory food
generally.
Most of us reaIize-because our
doctors have pointed it out in preach
ing and practice-that the taking of
much medicine is usually bad idea.
The up o-date doctor gives very
little, and is strongly opposed to the
practice of self dosing. Up-to-date
parents dose their children far less
than they used to do Instead of
giving them tonics from a bottle we
now take pains to give them tonic
and nourishing food
We should remember that the food
closet and harder of our houses are
worth more in curing and preventing
illness and keeping US in good health
than our medicine cabinets. Quite
recently some doctor discovered that
a certain rather obscure disease
could be cured by a diet Of bananas
An orange Juice diet has been pre-
scribed as a remedy for hives. The
old fashioned custom of taking hot
lemonade to break up cold was
based on sound sense. Sometimes a
little hot, weak, well-made tea will
cure a headache and a cup of coffee
win relieve fatigue.

THBRE have been stories of lucky
clovers for centuries. Nobody
% knows just how old the lore of
the clover lis, as a matter of fact
The three-leaved clover was used by
st. Patrick to explain the Trinity
to show that three distinct objects
could yet be part OF single whole
And centuries before ST. Patrick the
Druids attached special Importance
to the three-leaved clover in their
religious sites and symbols.
AS for the four-leaved clover. its
lore exists TN many lands. There
used to be a German belief that If
you could lay a four-leaved clover
on the priests mass-book while he
was reading mass he would be I'M
able to speak another word. Well,
that was luck for those who didn't
like the priest, no doubt but not
much luck for him. The point of the
thing was that the one who laid the
clover on the mass-book could break
the spell by pulling the priests vest

When Is 1t Mild ?

A LARGE hospital organiza ton
IA has recently decided that
- nurses should be allowed to
use perfume when on duty, provid-
ing the perfume is mild The usual
ruling has of course been that nurses
should not use any perfume what
ever when on duty.
One wonders why this rule has
been changed about Perfume was
banned of course because 1T was OBJ
jectionable to patients in many cases
perhaps the old prejudice against
it is waning and many sick folk
really like to have the nurse use
perfume, providing it is mild and
pleasant
In the old days perfumes were con-
sidered healing and therapeutic and
it was considered desirable to have
various sorts of perfumes about in
case of sickness. Devices holding
perfume were worn round the neck
on chains in the belief that they
would keep away contagion. OF
course we laugh at all these ideas,
but in the meantime perfume is
being used more and more gener-
ally here.
Nurses are now permitted to use
little mild perfume. Maybe before
long they will be requested to use
a little because of the pleasant effect
it has upon patients.

NOTES ON THE MENU

TRUFT JELLY. which Is suggest
ed for luncheon Monday, is in
expensive, easily prepared and
most wholesome. AS a founda ton
for this you viii need some lemon
jelly which may be made from
lemon juice and lemons or from
prepared lemon jelly powder. When
it is fairly well set but not quite
nard add the bits Of fruit. pushing
them into the jelly here and there,
and then let the jelly continue to
harden until used. You viii need
bananas for breakfast Tuesday. 50
slice one of these and add. Oranges
are suggested for Wednesday-so
get these Monday so that you may
take one to add to your jelly. Peel
the orange and separate sections
and remove thin skin. Break each
section into two or three sections
before putting It into the jelly. II
you have hard grapes on hand a
few of these washed, cut into
halves and seeded are a good addi-
ton. Bits of pineapple are also
good, and as you Will need canned
pineapple for luncheon on Tuesday
YOU might open the can now and
take one slice for this purpose.
To make the PINEAPPLE SALAD
allow one or two slices for each
portion. Arrange a few leaves of
lettuce on each plate, add the pine
apple and if you like put a little
cream cheese into the center of
each piece of pineapple. Serve with
mayonnaise or French dressing.
Almost any sort of firm canned
fruit, with a bit OF cream cheese
can be used for a luncheon salad
in this way-such as canned pears,
peaches, or prunes
To make the FRTTTERS for
Tuesday luncheon you will need a
can of corn. Open this and reserve
some for the CREAM OF CORN
soup for Wednesday luncheon. You
will need a cup of the corn pulp
for fritters enough for six or seven.
Mix together one and a half cups
of -four, two teaspoons of baking
powder and a half teaspoon Of salt
In the meantime beat up one egg
without separating whites and yolks
and add the cup of corn and add
this to the -four. etc Mix well and
have ready hot fat Drop a table
spoon Of the batter into the hot fat
without using the wire sieve that
you would for croquettes. Fry only
two at a time as they should not
touch each other when frying Have
ready some clean paper and drain
each as you take 1t crisp and hot
from the tat
