DREAMS
OF A DELAWAREAN

A dream came to a native of Del
aware who now resides in far off
Texas, but who retains vivid mem
Ory of his early manhood, in a let
ter to the editor of the Chronicle he
tells Of dream he greatly enjoyed,
as follows:
1 seldom dream, and when I do
dream it is soon forgotten, but this
one did enjoy so, on the night of
February II, 1880, that was too good
too real-too engrossing to be
easily forgotten. It's fragrance lin
gers, as one of life's extras.
This dream was this way:
First a hallucinatiOn caused me to
feel wealthy, and made it plain that
I had unlimited cash to pay for the
best of anything wanted, or wanted
to do, without restriction. So I felt
free to pull any kind of stunt what
ever, for the benefit of my friends,
or others, even free to steal out at
night on mission of benefaction.
Next 1 selected a place for action,
which was none other than Silver
Lake, at Milford, Delaware. The
moon was in its last quarter, and
shed it's beguiling rays over the
dimpling waves, that a light western
breeze had made for that purpose,
and also to watt the strains of music
eastward over the sleeping city of
Milford.
Next I selected a 2O-foot boat to
row from place on shore out to the
middle of the lake, that place was
near "Ice Cream Island" near
where the "Old Oaks" once shelter
ed early courtiers.
Everything had been completely
planned and arranged beforehand;
so, as previously planned, there
came to the boat four men, strang-
ers in the country, each Of whom .
had musical instrument in his ,
hand. The boatman rowed us out
near the center of the lake, while ,
jteered the boat.
These four musicians were expert
singers and players of instruments
# music, having been trained in a :
arge nearby city for such occasions.
No one knew of our existence
here until we were out on the sill
cry wavelets. q
Then at midnight, the Angelic Il
luartet made the sweetest grade of
laintive music and love songs of Z
he vintage of 1875. Keeping this I
armony Of consonance softly drift II
lg over the city for an hour or two, q
was like being in the realm of b
eaven's own atmosphere. p
Then we withdrew without giving e
office, as quietly and mysteriously m
5 we came, leaving those who g
card, to wonder and guess at the 81
entle thrilling music, .(no jazz. b.
Then I awoke laughing. R
Yours for good dreams, is

repairing and replacing parts which
are subject to the wear and tear of

without limit. They can meet reas-
enable demands and in times of
emergency unusual demands, but
they cannot be responsible for the
upkeep of parts which are seldom, if !
ever, at rest
Sleep of good restful quality and |
sufficient quantity is essential for
the proper upbuilding of our bodies,
and for the rest and repair of those
parts which aretaxed by the days

not given periods of absolute rest of
the kind which comes only with
sleep, they cannot stand the strain

Small beets about the size of a
walnut require no dicing or slicing
and are most attractive for serv-

Wash Beets Well

BY SISTER MARY
NEA Service Writer

One Of the most satisfactory veg
etables for homecoming is the
baby" beet. Beets are one of the
few vegetables that do not lose
their flavor and natural sweetness
if more than an hours time elapses
between the gathering and use.
They are less perishable than al
most any summer vegetable and for
that reason the woman who buvs
her. vegetables for canning runs less
risk of Spoilage after earning.
The perfect freshness of peas and
beans, corn and tomatoes is such
an important factor in their keep
ing qualities after canning that it
seldom pays to try to can these veg
etableS unless one has ones own
garden.
Oven Method Good
Although winter beets are avail
able, many women find them in
convenient and expensive to use on
account OF he long cooking re-
quired. The housekeeper who buys
her fuel bv feet or units finds that
several hours spent in the cooking
Of a vegetable is quite an item.
The oven-method of canning is
particularly easy for beets. If you
nave a raermostatic controlled
oven, the equator is set to 275 de-
grees 2. and the oven heated while
packing the vegetables.
An oven thermometer can, Of
course. be used. but frequent check

1t is strange that a mother who
watches her new baby day and
night with such solicitous care
should neglect him before he is
born.
But in half the cases of child
birth, this is precisely what mothers
do-not Intentionally, of course, but
because they do not realize that it
is at this time that much of his
future health storage may be &C
cumulated.
An eXpectant mother can give
her child a greater heritage of
health if she takes care of herself.
Her own health. digestion and
frame of mind all contribute to
the direct strength and well-being
of the future citizen by affecting
the nourishment supply that goes
into his diminutive body.
Should Live Normally
When I say care" I do not
mean that she needs to be treated
as an invalid, unless indeed she is
one, but merely common-SenSe llV-
ing and watchfulneSs of her own
health and habits.
Child bearing is a natural func-
ton, not the abnormal thing We
like to make it, and the body pro-
ceeds, after certain early adjust
ments, to carry on much as it did
before.
Therefore there is no reason ex-
cept in unusual cases why the
mother should not within reason go
right on and live her life normally
and peacefully until time for the
debut.
The care" comes under the head
Of regulation. Sleep. exercise, food.
elimination, and a very definite
effort toward happiness and a de-
termined an effort not to worry.
Rules to Observe
The expectant mother may find
few general rules lelpful.

two inches apart to allow for cir
culation Of heat around each jar.
Two racks may be used if the oven
is large enough.
Work fast and dip beets in cold
water only long enough TO slip
skins, not long enough to cool them.
The oven method of canning has
many advantages. There is no heavy
lifting of water to fill large con-
tainer, as is necessary for the hot
water bath.
There is no overheated, steam
filed house during the processing
period and there is less danger OF
burns in removing cans from a
warm oven than from a boilerful
of boiling water. The oven always
is covenient and requires no stor-
ing from season to season.

The mere sight of another per-
