SHORT CUTS TO DESSERTS
BY SISTER MARY . NEA Service Writer

Busy days of early autumn make the home-maker eager for short- cuts in the preparation of meals. Simple desserts that take almost no time to make but are festive looking will answer the sweet problem.
 While any of the following des- serts can be made entirely with homemade ices and cakes, they can also be made with commercial products with excellent results. The ready-to-use materials are a. great convenience and time-saver, for no preliminary preparation IS required.

did not awake until broad daylight, and
then. because Skunks do not like to be
out in the bright light, he turned over
and went to sleep again.
The next night when he started out
he felt lonesome and a bit frightened,
but in his search for fat beetles soon
got over this. He couldn't think about
fat beetles and being lonesome and
afraid at the same time, and 1t was
much pleasanter to think of fat beetles.
Besides, what was there to be afraid
Of? He met Jumper the Hare ana

days away in a hole among the rocks
or in a hollow log, and all the time
gaining self confidence. The only times
he felt the least chill of fear was when
he heard the hunting cry Of Hooty the
Great Horned Owl Then for long
time Inky would remain perfectly still
in the blackest of the Black Shadows.
He remembered the warning Mother
Skunk had given. Then, too, there was
something in that fierce hunting call
that made him afraid. Otherwise he
knew no fear.

things. Each item may be as small as
the seasoning in the food, but equally
important to the flavor left in the mind.
In the formula given in the terms OF
household affairs the result OF happiness
is summed up. contented mind can
not fail to be happy one, as happiness
is one of the ingredients OF content
ment. It is impossible to conceive OF a
contented person who is unhappy.
There is something delightfully."- COM
prehenSiVe in the idea of loaf Of con-
tentment" In a family a loaf is some
thing which is divided among the mem
bers. Each gets his or her slice. The
crumbs Of happiness. therefore, not only
cheer the person who collects them and
makes them into the loaf. but there is
sufficient to share with others. Happi-
ness is something which it is hard to
keep solely to oneself. 1t is expansive
enough to be shared without diminish
ing ones own portion. Like the loaf, it
nourishes more persons than the maker
There are times when the crumbs of
happiness seem so plentiful that they
fall into the mixing bowl to make the
loaf. They are everywhere apparent.
There are other times, however, when
one has to seek with a magnifying glass
to find the crumbs in the mixture of
troublous events. It is these times that
they should be sought diligently. They
are most precious. Treasure them care
fully, for out of them the loaf of con-
tentment is made. 1t is this loaf which

Inky Loses His Family.
Uncertainty you'll always find

Old AInLhpr Nafnre

THERE is nothing of uncertainty
about Old Mother Nature. She
always knows what she is doing.
Il what she is going to do and
why. Sometimes it is even bet
ter to go ahead and do the wrong thing
than to do nothing at all Uncertainty
is state of mind that causes lot Of
Worry
The smallest of Jimmy Skunk's big
family was named Inky This was be-
cause he had no white stripes on his
coat as his brothers and sisters had
His coat was all black. The tip of his
bushy tail was white, but this was all
the white on him. Always it was easy
for Inky to disappear when out with
his brothers and sisters at night. All
he had to do was to step in among the
Black Shadows and keep perfectly still.
No one could see him then, for the lit
tie white tip of his tail was not enough
to give him away. His brothers and
sisters could not do this, for the broad
white stripes on their coats gave them
away.
So 1t happened that Inky became a
little more independent than the others,
a little more inclined to do as he
pleased. When he felt like it he loitered
behind, and his father and mother.
Jimmy Skunk and Mrs. Jimmy. not
being able to see among the Black
Shadows, would not know it. More and

Chats About Good Health
AIR AND SUNSHINE

VF you make a trip this Summer to
the top of a high mountain, where
the air Is thin, do not run around
Il to fast. If you do so. you may
overstrain your heart and weaken
it for the rest of your life.
The higher we go, the thinner the
air becomes. At height OF 10 miles,
you could not live without the help OF
an oxygen tank.
Years ago, I spent a Summer vaca-
ton in the Rocky Mountains. at point
about two miles above sea level. Dur
ing the first week or two that I was
there, I took pains not to run very
much. I knew that my system was
not ready for heavy exercise.
Nature performs a strange and in
teresting deed for those who go to high
places. Day by day, the number of
red "corpuscles" in the blood is in
creased. These tiny objects in the
blood take oxygen from the lungs.
When the number grows larger, we are
better able TO use whatever oxygen
there may be in the air.
After spending week or two in a
mountain. most persons have enough
red corpuscles to permit them to eXer-
else a good deal without harm to the
heart
That heart OF yours is an important
organ of the body. 1t works day and
night. year after year. am sure that
you want it to do its job well.
Most Of US are spending our vaca-
ticns where the air has plenty Of oxy-
gen to meet all common needs. When
we go TO a beach for a swim, or when
we play game Of base ball or tennis.
we breathe in more air and make the
blood move faster through our veins.
Modern science has done a great deal
to confirm the old Arab proverb, "All
disease starts in darkness and is cured
by the sunlight" That statement may
not he entirely true. but the Arabs were
thinking in the right direction. Sun
shine Is of value in curing or prevent
ing many forms of illness.
Persons who lie on a sandy beach
between swims may be gaining as much
from the sunshine as from the exercise
of swimming, perhaps more.
1t is a good idea to take your sun
shine slowly when you greet a new
season Of swimming. Being sunbuned
is no fun-at least not after it happens

ants will hold the edges of two leaves
together while another weaves the silk

The infant is given squeeze now and

chances are they were raised from
eggs which the clever ants secured
from a tree late in the Fall of the
wear before. Then when the young
aphid calves" were strong enough
they were taken to the plant and told
to go to work. Though they are spin
dle-legged, the young COWS" stand on
the plant while they drill into the
plant tissue with their long beaks.
On the back of the cow will be found
two little horns. 1t is here the drops
of honeydew, the juice from the plant,
will be Tapped off by the waiting milk
maid The little COW stops neither day
nor night. 1t has been said that a
healthy COW will yield from Is to 20
drops every "a hours. 1t does not take
many drops to fill an ant, and, with
her milkpail fun, she starts for home.
Traffic problems were solved by the
ants thousands Of years ago A line
Of milkmaids will be going home with
milkpails filled. while another line will
be coming from the ant city.
Upon reaching the nursery all the
babies are fed first. Then the nurses
have their drop. There is always a
third ant standing close to them TO
catch the drop if it should miss the
waiting mouth. There must be a little
Scotch canniness in ants.
When you see an ant lowering over
her little COW and stroking it with
her antennae, she is gently persuading
'bossy" to give her a drop of milk
All cows love to be petted, and pretty
soon the little drop is forthcoming
Sometimes things go wrong. The
| milkmaid may not have been as gentle
as she should. or she may even have
tickled her Anyway the COW kicks up
her heels and a stream of sticky liquid
hits the mixer In the eye! There are
times when the mark is missed, but
most of the time it's a bull's-eye
There is nothing for the cowgirl to
do but get that binding stuff washed
of, and while she attends to this an
other mixer takes her place.
Sometimes the herders decide to
construct a "cowshed" and avoid los
/ ing some of their cattle when their
herds are sucking the sap from the
