Cheese.

Recently a correspondent asked some
thing about pot cheese and we INJURED
1t. Now another correspondent kindly
informs the omniscient conductor OF
this column that pot cheese is name
used in the East for what people out
West know as cottage cheese. She ex-
plains that in the East this cheese comes
in little jars or pots. Real cottage
cheese, she adds, is not to be had in
the East.
Oh, I don't know Maybe it isn't to-
day. It was when I was a boy in
Canandaigua, though can't remember
whether it was called cottage cheese
then or Dutch cheese. I'll tell the
world, or at least that portion of 1t
that follows this column, that good old
fashioned cottage or Dutch cheese Is
rarely to be had East or West, North or
South these days. At least I haven't
come across any for years, and I'm all
ways smiling around the cheese en-
poriums.
Our correspondent goes on to explain
that real cottage cheese is really
''smearkase," whatever that may be; in
other words dripped sour or clabber
milk, w.t.m.b.
Maybe that's what the terrible stun
they offer nowadays as cottage" cheese
IS suffering from-the reduction craze.
They probably take OF most of the fat
from the milk for one purpose or an
other, and then, just as they are ready
to feed what is left to the pigs or ship
it to Hollywood to sell to folks on a
teen Gay Giet, some one yells, Hey, why
not make cottage cheese out of it and
pay OF the mortgage on the farm"
Marketing for cheese Is delightful

arms over your head and stretch arms
and body upward. lifting heels from the
floor. Hold the position a moment
then relax. Repeat twice.
2. Sit on the floor with legs out
straight in front, feet together. Grasp
the ends of a cane or broomstick In
each hand. Raise cane above head and
lower 1t behind shoulders. Raise cane
again and lower arms to shoulder level
In front. Repeat to 10 times.
3. Lie on mat on the floor with
arms stretched out above your head
right knee doubled up on your chest
and left leg held up vertically. With
brisk movement change the position
Of the legs so that the left Is bent and
the right stretched upward and at the
same time swing arms down to the
sides. Repeat leg changing 10 times
Do not point toes on the upward move
ments but push up with the heel, keep

A Sermon for Today
By REV. JOHN r. GUM.
Tried and Untried Paths.

Because my people have forgotten
and they have caused them to stumble
in their ways from the ancient paths,
to walk in paths, in a way not cast
up."-Jer. xviii.15.
When people forget God they always
begin to burn incense to their own
vanities. They imagine they are suffi-
cient unto themselves and need neither
God nor His laws for their help and
guidance. Moreover, they fancy them
selves to be smarter than any gener-
alton that ever came before them, and
they sneer at the ancient paths" and
turn to walk in paths of their own
making, paths not hitherto "cast up"
or trodden by the foot Of man.
1t seems as though these words Of
the ancient prophet were meant espe-
cially for our generation. We hear much
these days about a revolt against old
laws, old standards and old customs. It
is a day in which many are turning from
the old, tried and proven ways and pro-
posing all sorts of new ways not yet
cast up" This is the meaning of the
so-called revolt of modern youth" But
the revolt extends beyond youth and
includes many who are old enough to
have better sense, but who seem to have
their better sense.
One of the ancient paths" partic-
ularly singled out as unworthy to be
trodden by our advanced generation is
that old-fashioned courtShip, and mar
rage sealed until death part thee and
me-" However, we cannot but feel that
| there is resident in society a saving
sense that will not be easily persuaded
to adopt, as a general custom, any sort
Of experimental" novelties that imperil
the sacredness of the home.
When We walk "a way not cast up, y
we follow voices that we know not and
for which three are none to youch; but
when we walk in the ancient ways
we have for our guidance the voice Of
experience vouched for by countless
generations. We should think we'll of
this before we abandon old ways for
new ones. When it comes to moral
conduct, we can be sure that we are
safe as long as We follow the findings
of human experience as couched in
the established moral code of society:
but we are treading on dangerous
ground when we turn from these find
ings and begin experimenting with new
theories.
The great moral discoveries have al
ready been made Causes and effects
have been determined. and so accu-
rately as to leave no question. II we
have any concern for the moral safety
Of society, or our own, we had better
stay off the untried path and stick TO
the path already cast up" and that has
been we'll trodden and proven.

pers used for communication and ad-
ministrative purposes in the A. E. F.

idea as to how many there are MAY be
gained by saying that they fill 1882 fill

drawers, bullying with some 5000 rec

100000 finally will be judged worth

have my girl turn out to be q tomboy
with no manners, no respect for herself
I've done my best to teach her to be a
lady"
What's the matter?"
We'll, to come to the point, it's this:
She slapped Dick Curly in the face in
class yesterday and her teacher gave
her bad mark for it."
We'll. that was nothing extraordi-
nary. She ought TO get bad mark for
that She ought to save that for the
playground"
why should she slap him at all? Is
that the way for lady to behave? I'm
eisgraced."
ITS no way for lady to behave, but
IT is quite all right for a girl like Betty.
She isn't lady. She Is a little girl
getting ready to be a bigger one. It
was quite on the cards that she slap
Dick. If We had any choice about the
matter we might have selected more
hitting place, but maybe the occasion
settled the place. Anyway, there Is

Everyday Psychology
By DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.
Suspicious.

Nearly every one has his suspicious.
A few have them so chronically that
they make their world of human asso-
ciates seem like an organized band of
suspects.
The strange thing about suspicious is
that they generally originate in ones
own mind and are generally fed and
nouriShed by ones own attempts to
find a way to justify them. In other
words. oversuspicious persons are over
sensitive about themselves.
It might be worth while, for the sake
of mental health at least, to point out
that other people spend far less time
thinking about you than you do think
ing about yourself If you can succeed
In being undeceived on this point, you
will find that many of your secret
lunches turn out to be mere f1ctions
of the imagination.
Suspicious are baneful. Expectations,
their opposite, are wholesome.
But, since people don't think about
you very much, it follows as a mere
matter of mathematical probabilities
that you should not expect very much
from them. So watch your expectations
as we'll as your suspicious.
Don't forget that thwarted expecta-
lions are often enough the starting
point Of suspicious.

FOOD PROBLEMS
By SALLIE MONROE.
Good Pastry.

There is no reason in the world why
any cook that wished to should not be
able to make delicious pastry. There is
an art in doing it, of course, but it Is
an art that anybody can master.
To begin with, the really good pastry
cook Is fingered and quick. She
must learn to be dextrous and decided
in her work.
Next Of importance are good mater
ials to work with and good implements.
It is a matter of opinion, of course,
which materials are best. AS for i'm
plemerts, a marble slab Is always help
full. Ice-cold water Is essential. You
can, If you wish. use, instead OF a
rolling pin, q symmetrical, round bottle
filled with cracked ice and securely
corked.

boys and boy chum."

Then you hope wrong. Normal boys
and girls transfer their interest from
those Of their own sex to those OF the
other sex soon after entering Adde'S
cence. Some earlier, some later, than
others, but all Of them should do so. If
they are to be normally happy people
When Betty slapped Dick she indicated
her preference for Dick. That slap is
likely the beginning Of a beautiful
friendship. The less attention you pay
to it the better. The teacher had to
give them each a bad mark because
such demonstrations interrupt the calm
Of the class room. But after that there
is nothing more to be said save that
we wish them both long and happy
