IDEAS About Heaven
Are MANY and Varied

Where is heaven? What is heaven?
he question may not have been set
ed, but it has att least been an
yered. The ideas contributed are
lany and various. Here are few of
lem:
A circus lot at the end of Main
rect.
A very high spot in the human i'm
gination.
A beautiful mirage which lures de-
lded travellers into the barren desert
credullty.
The abode of certain portions of the
city.
A spiritual land Of peace, plenty and
quality, situate, lying, and being In
he uppermost region above the
louds, conjured up by religion to as
ist in the maintenance Of law, order
nd good will among Gods children
lille in the bodily state on earth.
The most sublime, the most pitiful,
ne most pathetic delusion Of all the
ges.
Heaven is that which lies about us
a our infancy. Heaven is that about
Which we were lied to in our infancy.
The ideal, the limit Of human ambi-
ions and aspirations, the everything
erfect.
A place to which every one Is anx-
GUS to go, but no one seems to be In
ny hurry to get there.-The Forum.

Celery Fritters Would
Be Good With Cold Lamb

With cooler weather one may think
again of hotter and richer food than
has been served during July, August
and September. Fritters In any form
must be served piping hot, and be-
cause of the deep fat in which they
are fried, they add considerably to the
richness of the meal. These celery
fritters, for which the bureau of home
economics supplies the recipe, would
be particularly good with menu con.
sisting of cold sliced lamb and spin.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricuture)
One of the incest ways to add flavor,
richness and crispness to vegetable
plate lunch is to include corn fritters
There are many combinations that
would be good with corn fritteIs, as
for example, spinach, creamed onions
and stewed tomatoes; or string beans,
carrots and lettuce salad; or quick
cooked cabbage, beets and buttered
mashed rutabaga. The other vege-
tables should be about ready to serve
when you begin to fry the fritters, so
that the latter can be sent to the table
piping hot. Here is a recipe for MAX
ing them, supplied by the United
States Department of Agriculture:
Corn Fritters.
I cupful Ia d. soft-wheat flour
canned corn, or melted fat
milk, or the two egg
mixed 2 teas p o nfuls
! cupful drained baking powder
canned corn n teaspo nful
TX cupfuls sifted salt
Mix the flour, baking powder and
salt. Mix the juice from the canned
corn, or milk, or whatever liquid is
used, the egg after it has been beaten
slightly, and the canned corn Stir
this liquid mixture gradually into the
dry ingredients Add the melted fat.
If the corn is very moist even after
thn Iinuid hos ..hpon drai mod frnr,1 ~
more flour may be added. Dried corn,
which has been soaked and cooked un
til tender, may also be used.
Fry the corn fritters in deep fat or,
If preferred, in skillet in shallow
fat. In either case, drop the mixture
by spoonfuls into. the fat and fry
rather slowly, for these frftters need
time to cook through to the center be-
fore the outside becomes too brown.
Drain the fritters on absorbent paper
and serve hot. u

In wearing nice clothes. The little
boy is the shyest creature imaginable.
His one longing Is to look exactly like

Most boys pass through agonies on

their tie Is the wrong color. 1t Is not
until fairly late age that they learn

unfortunately our present system OF
education tends to keep them So
One of the difficulties in introduce

were ashamed to show their knees or

scouts still modestly cover these parts.
