Don't Worry.
BY REV. JOHN r.. GUM.

Text-'Be anxious for nothing, but
In everything by prayer and supplica-
ton with thanksgiving let your requests
be made known unto God. Phil iv6.
In other words, don't worry tell God.
That is precisely what the text means.
One of the most prevalent evils is that
OF worry. Yes, worry is an evil. 1t is
an evil because of its effect upon our
health. Much of the i'll health from
which many of us suffer is due to worry.
Worry Is also injurious to the spiritual
life. The care that produces ill health
in the body produces also disease in the
soul. Not only so, but it results in a bad
mental condition. In every way, men,
tally, spiritually and physically, worry
produces evil effects in our lives.
The word worry is from the old
Angle Saxon word which was originally
used to describe what dog does to a
rat-'worries a rat" takes 1t by the
throat and shakes the life out of it by
degrees. That is what worry does to
one BY degrees 1t shakes the life out
of you.
The remedy for this evil is here: Don't
worry; tell God. And while telling Him,
take time to thank Him for what He
has already done for you. Worry re-
suits from anxious thoughts. While you
are telling God and thanking Him for
what he has done for you already, He
will replace those anxious thoughts with
peaceful thoughts.
Try this remedy. Why go on worry
ing? Your situation may be bad, but
worry will not help you out Of it. It
will not help you to anything better.
Instead, it will unfit you for conquering
your difficulties. Besides, it will make
your life burden and misery. Stop
worrying; tell God.

Edward .Poetzle, though little known in
the United States, Is fairly promlnenn Ger
man humorist, author OF Her Nigerf3.
One Sunday morning, very early in
the Spring, Herr Nigerl and his better
half were honoring the Corso with their
presence. The Corso is Vienna's great
"broadwalk"-a kind OF show prom
enade of the populace.
Though Herr and Frau Nigerl had
made up their minds to avoid arouslng
any vulgar curiosity. 1t happened, in
spite of their determination, that the
looks of the passers-by kept being
turned in their direction.
1T is amazing" said Frau Nigerl to
her husband, how many people know
one that one never suspects"
AS matter of fact the amused
curiosity of all the people who stared at
the Nigerls was due to the astonishing
Spring costumes being worn by that
worthy pair. While others were trying
to protect themselves against the icy
wind and occasional flurries of snow,
by wearing wraps and even furs, Herr
Nigerl and his wife had on the flimsiest
of Spring garments. Herr Nigerl him.
self wore light plaid trousers and a
short yellow overcoat. His wife was
proudly disporting herself in pink silk
gala dress, huge hat with magnif1-
cent nodding ostrich plumes, and a
black lace shawl-all of which regalia
she fancied was in the height OF
fashion.
Indeed, the Nigerls looked down with
certain contempt on the people clad
In Winter coats and cloakS. They sus-
pected, with shifts of superiority, that
these poor folk simply did not have the
money to provide themselves with
Spring attire.
AHA, there 1t u.s." said Herr Nigerl,
after they had walked along for some
time. He pointed to a building with
placards on the doors.
You mean where all those people
are going IMP" asked Frau Nigerl.
"Of course Where else? Karl de-
scribed the place and its location ex-
actly. If had not forgotten my spec
flssy at the moment of leaving the
house, I could even read the placards
But that Is not necessary. Come along,
now. Keep close to me, so that we
won't get separated in the crowd. For
I am going to explain to you the ia
nous painting, or otherwise you might
never realize why it Is entitled, The
Dream Of Rapture
Soon after Herr and Frau Nigerl were
standing in the rather crowded hall in
which the paintings were hung on ex-
hibition. The spectators were speak
ing In a low humble of subdued tones,
exchanging comments and offering to
each other criticisms and bits of praise.
A solemn, even an almost devout at
noSnfere prevailed throughout the
gallery.
Frau Nigerl pressed her husbands
manly arm. She hardly dared to take
deep breath, so thrilled was she at
being in the art gallery. She stared
with open mouth at the work of art
which so many people had come long
distances to see. She was completely
at loss. however, what her own opin-
ion should be until she heard the deci-
sion handed down by her lord and
master.
Thinking this, she glanced up at her
husbands face. She was glad to see

Potatoes.

Potatoes are an important part OF
our food supply. yet in many instances
a large percentage of their nutritive
value is lost through improper prepare
ton or cooking. Potatoes contain a lot
of starch, and starch is partly soluble
in cold water. From the nutritive point
of view, starch is necessary for the pro-
duction of heat and energy and the
large percentage of starch in potatoes
makes them valuable as food.
When potatoes are peeled and soaked
for several hours in cold water before
cooking a considerable part of their
starch is wasted. It is best, therefore,
to peel them just before cooking, to
drop them at once into boiling water,
and to cook them at the boiling point
Baked potatoes are more easily di-
gested than potatoes cooked in any
other way, and they are more nourish-
ing because there is no chance of
losing any of their food value during
the cooking Bake them in hot oven
so that the pulp will be mealy and dry,
break them open as soon as they are
done to let the steam escape and to pre-
vent their becoming soggy, and serve
with butter, little salt and q little
cream.

Problem of Warmth i'm Winter
BY MARY MARSHALL.

There is no acceptable excuse for go
ing around shivering this Winter-short
of actual poverty. There are so many
different ways of keeping warm without
spelling ones ensemble.
There is very attractive woody under
wear this Winter-not the long-sleeved
red flannel or balbriggan sort, but soft
knitted little garments of soft pastel
tones. 1t leaves arms and neck bare but
keeps the body snug and warm enough
to wear thin frocks with comfort in cool
weather.
Or If you prefer to wear summary
lingerie all Winter then there are wool
ems for frocks more attractive than ever
before-wool voiles. wool crepes, thin
tweeds, that are decidedly warm in spite
of their light weight
Grandmother's idea-so often ex-
pressed-was that If you kept the lex
tremities" warm you were safe against
chilliness. Hench she insisted on woolies
for her children that actually came
down over the wrists and ankles. The
French idea apparently is that if you
keep the body well protected with wool
the arms and legs and neck will take
care of themselves.
What a transformation has taken
place since. Amelia Bloomer first gave
her name to the loose wool garment
which she thought more convenient
than skirts Those first boomers scarce
ly showed the ankles-and the newest
boomers to be worn under evening or
daytime frocks are barely more than 8
or 8 inches long They suggest the little
puffs that gentlemen of the reign of
Queen Elizabeth wore at the tops of
their trunk hose.
This weeks home dressmaker's help
consists of directions for making the
new tufted wool trimming that may be
used effectively to trim a little girls
coat or any wooden frock. 1t may be
done easily. when once you know the
trick, and calls for nothing more than
a little knitting wool and blunt
needle. So please send along your
stamped, self-addressed envelope so
that I can send the circular to you.

Dried Fruits.

Dried fruits offer an inexpensive way
of insuring a good supply of the nutri-
tive elements found in fruits In the
Winter diet OF all the dried fruits
prunes are, perhaps, the most used and
the most abused This Is largely be-
cause so little care Is used In cooking
them Dried fruits should be soaked
overnight in cold water to cover, then
cooked very slowly in the same water
for 20 to 30 minutes.
For those who do not like the flavor
of prunes alone, the combination of
apricots and prunes is good one. In
this case the two fruits should be soaked
and cooked together. using equal parts
of each. Because of the tartness of the
apricots, one-half cup of sugar should
be added for each pound of fruit.
Many people like the addition of a
small amount of cornstarch to slightly
thicken the Juice. This has the further
advantage of reducing the acidity Of the
fruit and saving on sugar.

to be practical.
In a large house living room this
table might be an occasional one in
addition to a much larger table.
The top measures approximately
30 by 40 inches when both leaves are
lifted, and, of course, the leaves may
be adjusted so that it will fit into
small or large space.
Another use to which this table might
be put is that Of a breakfast or lunch
con table in the small apartment din
ing alcove. It accommodates two, three
or four persons very easily, and be-
tween meals may be set with a bowl
of flowers or candlesticks. Ladderback
chairs with rush seats would be attrac-
tive to combine with this table, two

Your Personal Note.

How much is your personal note
worth? In some States it is worth
nothing. In other States you may be
able to borrow reasonable amounts on
it. The working woman usually has
better credit standing than the married
woman, whose income Is dependent
on her husbands earnings.
The banking laws of the State in
which one resides or does business usu-
ally determine the qualifications of Dor
rowers. In two nearby States the laws
and regulations are quite dissimilar.
The result Is that residents Of one State
can borrow money freely. those in the
other can only borrow on collateral or
- equivalent.
