Cookbook

II never a sorrow came to us, and
never a care we knew;
II every hope was realized and ev-
cry dream came true;
If only joy were found on earth, and
no one ever sighed,
And never a friend proved false to us,
and never a loved one died,
And never a burden bore US down soul
sick and weary, too,
We'd yearn for tests to prove our
worth and tasks for us to do.

SOMETHING TO
THINK ABOUT
BY F. A. WAL K E r
YOUR MIND

IL have budget. There should be
business-like apportionment, of what
you earn, to your needs and youc
tastes
You will have to assign so much to
rent. There will have to be an al
lowance for food and clothing for the
doctor and the dentist, for amusement
and pleasure, for necessary travel and
for unnecessary extravagances, for
we all have our extravagances.
All these things will be promptly
listed and thoroughly looked after.
We shall probably be particularly lib
eral with those items which mean the
least in the sum total of human hap
piness.
The last thing that will be thought
about, and the most scanty allowance
. will be made for it, will be the de-
veopment and betterment Of our
minds.
How much money did you spend
last year on worthwhile books-books
you are keeping to read second time
books that added to your wisdom or
gave you something valuable to think
about?
How much time did you spend in
filling your mental storehouse with
facts useful In daily life and valuable
in your daily work?
Did you spend as much for informa-
ton as you did for gasoline?
If you were to add together all the
time you spent gaining knowledge.
would it be half the time that you
spent dancing?
Do not consider that money Is the
only thing you spend.
Time is your much greater asset.
You can earn more money.
You cannot, with all the wealth of
all the universe, in all the ages, buy
one minute of time nor bring back for
another and better use a wasted
hour
Lord Brougham, a man who spent
his time wisely and profitably, wrote
down this short sentence filled with
good advice: "Read something of
everything and everything of some
thing"
There is No excuse for any man,
woman or child past twelve years
spending less than half an hour a
day with a good book.
Reading carefully and thoughtfuIly
lac z
minute. That is 4.50G words a day.
,, One million six hundred and forty
two thousand words a year. How
much wiser do you think you would
be if you did that for only one year?
knowledge is the freest, the most
inexpensive thing in the world and
we think less of it than of anything
| else.
Stop making pet of your stomach.
Stop worrying about your clothes.
Give up some of the useless things
! upon which you spend and waste your
time and your money.
Make up budget of your earnings
and your hours that shall have in il
liberal allowance for your mind
for your intelligence, for your think
| ing powers.
What you have inside your head nc
robber can get, no Ponzi can transfer
to his pockets. Not even old age can
destroy 1t and perhaps not even death
can take it away from you.
Be generous with your mind. Feed
! it. Nourish it, Care for it, IT is the
one part of you that really matters
the one thing upon which you should
spend layishly and continuously

We thought the housewives would like

how much longer it kept fresh and how
much more satisfying it was to the appetite.
