Because / am seventy-six years old
I do not believe am wise; on the con-
trary. / have been remarking lately
that there does not seem to have ever
been a wise man in human history.
Some have had more intelligence than
others and more experience, but the
mistakes of the more notable ones
have led me to conclude that an en-
dowment of wisdom is impossible In
creatures of our kind. The best we
can do is to experiment candidly and
extensively and come to such conclu-
sions as are warranted. says e. W..
Howe's Weekly. Any man who is pref
udiced is unable to come to sound COZ
illusions; and we are all prejudiced.
That seems the reason we cannot be-
come wise.

Old Indian Legend of
"Arch of Evening Starr

:. One of the sights on the island of
Mackinac is a natural arch Of rock
which Is associated with a poetic In
dian legend, and was known among
the Iroquois as ''the arch of the eve
ming star"
A chiefs daughter loved the son
Of the evening star, very much against
her fathers wishes, so he bound her to
rock in such a position that she
could not see the star. The lovelorn
maiden wept so long and so copiously
that her tears melted the rocks hard
heart and formed an arch through
which she could gaze at the star.
So devoted was her love and so
happy was she at seeing the star once
more that she was unmindful of phys
ical suffering. Touched by such con-
stancy, the Great Spirit bore her
through the arch to the evening star.
where she dwells in eternal happiness
with her beloved.

THE LUNCH BOX

"Early to bed, and early to rise,
Makes boy healthy, wealthy and
WISE"
All very well, as far as 1t goes. But
what the boy eats before he's "early
to bed" what he eats when he's scar
ly to RISE" and what he has in his
school lunch box-that's what makes
a boy healthy, wealthy and WISE"
Wise mother knows her boys nutri-
tive needs at home and at school. She
knows his need for calcium and phos-,
phorus, as well as for proteins and
vitamins of meat and eggs and vege1
tables. She knows that If she bakesV
her boys foods at home, with self
rising flour, that she is giving her boy
the benefit Of the millers' combination
Of important minerals for growth-all
the essentials of a well-balanced diet.
So wise mother makes the lunch
box sandwiches of quick breads made
with self-rising flour, buffers themf
well, and fills them to capacity with
chicken or other lean meat, or with
sliced hard-cooked egg. A raw vege-)
table, carrots preferred, and a little
fresh fruit, she adds to the sand
wiches for balance.
And then comes the schoolboy's de-
light, and the object of all his sweet
toothed anticipation-cake, cookies,
popcorn ball-any of the TASTES made
With self-rising flour.

one cup of apricot pulp (made by
pressing apricots through a sieve)
and four teaspoons of sugar mixed
with one teaspoon of -four. Cool
and put in previously-baked tart
shells. Top with whipped cream.
This makes ten to twelve tarts.
Peach and Abyicot Filling: Whip
one cup of cream, and add six ia
blespoons of confectioner's sugar.
Cut one-half cup of canned peaches,
one-falf cup of canned apricots and
one-half cup of candied cherries
into small pieces and drain well.
Fold into the whipped cream. Use
the filling in cream puffs, between
layers of cake or as garnish on
simple cornstarch or rice pudding.
To lend variety to tapioca and

Singing for Exercise

Besides being a pleasure TO the sing
er and sometimes to those around, the
act of singing is better exercise
than most persons have any thought
OF. It is good exercise for the throat.
lungs and chest and now it is recon
mended for the ears. A western phys
ician who is call upon to do a great
deal of irving over the country says
that after a particularly hard expert
ence of this kind his ears always seem
to be affected. probably by the noises
of the car and vibration of the engine.
In this event he raises up his voice
and sings to the best of his ability,
and this treatment soon relieves the
ears.

Pen "Made Good

Many years ago boy went into an
examination room with a new pen in

new pen, but when he found he had
failed in the examination he took his
pen aside and gave it good talk

s"This won't do, old boy" he told
the pen. Somehow you and have
got to redeem this failure"
The pen must have understood, for
the boy became Sir Arthur CUTLER

THE USEFUL WAFFLE
BY GRACE WALL CRAY |

When in doubt, have waffles. The
ingredients are staples on hand in ev-
cry household. The uses of the waf-
fle run the course Of breakfast,
lunch. the impromptu tea party, din
ner or supper. There is no food more
adaptable. none more variable In its
uses, none quicker and easier Of pro-
duction, than the waffle.
The breakfast wafflesis never vast
ed Capacity reached, the batter that
is left can be put away in the
refrigerator, and used again at lunch
or at the light supper in the evening,
and, still better. at the impromptu
afternoon tea.
Breakfast waffles are served with
butter and sugar, or butter and strip,
with bacon or with sausage, depend
ing on the likes and dislikes of the
waffle-fed family. There are varieties
in even the breakfast use Of the use
full waffle.
For lunch or the impromptu after
noon collation., jam or jelly or mar
malade can be used instead of butter,
and for creamed chicken or sea food,
the waffle makes an ideal base at
supper time. The useful waffle is
adaptable to any circumstance or to
any taste.
With self-rising -four the success Of
the waffle batter is never left to
chance. There is no waste. Self-ris-
ing -four is economical Of both time
and expense. as can readily be seen
by the following recipe:
Waffles.
cups self-rising . tbsp. melted fat
flour eggs
~ cups milk tbsp. sugar
Directions:
Sift and measure flour. Beat yolks
with sugar and fat. Add milk. Then
add liquid TO flour and fold In egg
white. beaten stiff but not dry. Let
bake in hot waffle iron, from one-half
to one minute. and turn.

Mean Millionaire

The late Benjamin N. Duke of to-

Mr.. Duke said one night in a Y

IF you are mean and graspine in
your youth. the habit will grow OIL
you, and you'll get no enjoyment out
of money in your old age. even II
you're millionaire.

bought cheap radio set. Somebody
asked him afterwards how he liked 1t.

to listen to. but the bulbs aren't much

DR.. Albert Einstein, German mathe-

Caputh. In order to make his speech
for the Edison jubilee, the eminent
scientist was obliged to journey in to
Berlin, because he has no telephone In

narily he uses the telephone in the
home Of a potter who is his neighbor.
Our guess is that for all the honor at.
tached, the potter probably has his
own theory Of RELATIVELY.

phone rates which became effective
January /.
These reductions cover messages
both over the lines of the Chesapeake
and Potomac Telephone System and
the long distance lines of the Ameri
can Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany. The reduced rates. telephone
officials say, apply largely on station
to station calls, but there are also
some reductions on other classes of
service.
Such reductions apply largely to
points ranging in distance from 80 to
800 miles apart. Also, reductions in
report charges. ranging from s to 40
cents, affecting the schedule of calls
made for distances ranging generally
from 100 to 1900 miles. have been
made.
This Is the fourth reduction made
in toll and long distance rates of the
Bell Telephone System In the past three
and one-half years. officials say.
Not only have the rates on telephone
tolls been reduced. but the service has
been improved very materially. since
the statement is made that about IS
per cent of all toll and long distance
calls are now handled while the call
ing party remains at the telephone. as
compared with 80 per cent at the begin
ming of 1928 and 70 per cent in 1925.
The total annual saving from the
latest reduction to telephone users
throughout the United States is esti-
mated to be S5,00O.000.
