v you say thank you,' Martha ?"
4 i whispered mother, anxiously
Yes" Martha whispered
back. hoarsely. 1T isn't much of a rib
bon, but I thanked her just to make
her feel good"
And that's bit Of wisdom out Of the
mouth Of babe if ever there was one
Thank people just to make them feel

of suffering humanity. If you haven't
tried 1t. begin now, for 1t will make you
feel as though the great depression had
lifted of your shoulders and the mantle
Of light had come to rest upon them.
We don't begin to thank people as
we ought You went to church last
Sunday and listened to q good sermon.
After service you walked home thinking
how good 1t was. Hes a pretty good
preacher. I don't know where there is
kinder. better man. He's a real COM
fort" But not a word Of that to the
pastor. He went home wondering II he
had hit the mark, If his effort had
been realized If only some one had
stopped to tell him he had helped, what
difference it would have made.
The doctor helped you with a sick
child. He sent his bill and by and by,
after many days. as it is our way with
doctors bills. you paid it. Did you
say. THANK you. doctor. I am paying
this bill with the deepest gratitude for
what you did for the child. Your
skill eased his pain. We can only thank
you and hope you know how We feel
about It," How light that message
would make the tired doctors heart.
Did you ever thank the teacher Tor
helping your John and your Mary? OF
course, she Is paid for it. but thank
her for doing what she can never be
paid for. and see her face light up. see
the gentleness in her eyes as she says,
"It was a pleasure to help such lovely
children" Thanks are so rare and yet
SO easy to bestow.
Think of all the people who are
doing things in the hope that somebody
will be pleased, that somebody will be
happier. more comfortable. Think of
all those who work for the welfare of
little children-the milkman, who de-
livers that bottle of milk and the long
boy who MIXED the COW. Think Of all
the great army of us working all the
days of our lives for daily bread-and
for the happiness Of the rest Of the
world. How much q word OF apprecia-
ton would mean to each Of them.
Write note to the teacher. Send a
line to the author of the book you liked,
to the actor whose work you enjoyed.
to the radio artist who pleased you. A
postal card doesn't cost so much, and
it will give you as much Joy to say that

THE BLOSSOM AND PIONEERING VINE DESIGNS ARE USED

An extremely handsome twine crochet

used each side Of a strip Of blossom
squares For the blossom strip, use al
ternate squares of crochet and plain
linen, if preferred. Separate the bios
som strip from the Towering vine strip
on the side by narrow strips Of plain
linen the width Of the vine crocheted
insertion.
The twine used in needlecraft comes
in many different colors, as we'll as nat
ural and cream hues. This permits the
worker to select one to suit her pref
erence. If the twine is colored, 1t Is
wise to use a natural cOlOred, a cream,
or q white linen for the alternate strips.
Or the linen may be in color and the
twine-crocheted portions be Of the nat
ural or cream color. These color COM
binations are recommended, although 1t
is possible to combine colored twine and
colored linen artistically. Unless they
do go together harmoniously, however.
there will be too much color and the
spread will lose much Of its charm.
The crochet is quickly done, especial
ly in the twine which is heavy enough
to work up rapidly. A medium or fine
number of the twine is recommended.
A bedspread of twine crochet and linen
combined makes a Christmas gift to
delight any home maker. 1t is the kind
to be treasured in family, or as the
handiwork Of a friend.

ato was considered poisonous and after
that fallacy was exploded 1t was still
looked upon with distrust and all kinds
Of ailments were blamed upon the use
Of the tomato. To the rheumatic per-
son it was absolutely forbidden Now
1t Is one Of the foods usually recon-
| mended in the treatment of this all
ment. which may have many causes
though still known as rheumatism.
Sliced tomatoes, fried tomatoes and
stewed tomatoes are the more common
ways Of using this fruit or vegetable,
whatever yoa wish to call it. Some
| times the sliced fruit was dressed with
sugar and vinegar sometimes 1t was
served by itself. Today we use 1t in
a hundred different ways. We stuff
1t for salad or for baking. We have 1t
seasoned highly and bake it. We COM
bine it with other vegetables for mixed
salad. We use it for canapes as a first
course or combine 1t with fruit as an
appetizer or salad. 1t makes a most
attractive dish when skinned, quartered
and arranged with alternate sections
OF honeydew melons, avocado or grape
| fruit. A fruit-f1avored French dressing
should be poured over this. A few mint
hardly necessary to mention here the
overwhelming popularity Of tomato
juice as an appetizer for luncheon or
dinner or as a breakfast fruit juice, or
to suggest that its combination with
gelatin makes it one of our most
popular first courses or salads.
In the jargon Of the day almost every
one is tomato-conscious. There is one
point which should mention here and
that Is that we can learn from Europe
the advantage Of both flavor and tex
ture OF cooking the tomato very slightly
when we fry it, broil it or bake it. This
means using hot fire, of course.

appetites. but fall to gain normal
weight.
We all know that a diet rich in fats
and carbohydrates and proteins Is very
necessary for the too-thin person. But
attention must be given to the func-
tions of assimilation and elimination
often defective in such types. Mild ex-
ercise, contradictory as 1t may SEEM Is
often conducive to putting on Welght
since it improves the general tone, and
hence the digestive powers.
In judging the health and physique
of an individual the weight is COM
monty regarded as the most important
characteristic While this rule does not
invariably hold good, the weight Is
nevertheless, the most dependable guioe
that casual observation affords TO the
physical condition. 1t need hardly oe
said that it Is neither desirable nor
necessary that all men. women: glrls
and boys Of certain age ana nelghI
should be Of equal weight. 1t Is none
the less true that they are not physi-
cally at their best when they vary TO
the extent of q score Of pounds or more
from the weight regarded as norman
for their particular stature and age.
On the other hand. failure to attain
the standard Of weight usually accepted
as the average need give no cause lor
alarm. Many persons are slender, put
in splendid health, nevertheless.
In the first place, some persons are
small-boned, and no matter how f1eshy
thew are they never become SO heavy
as people Of the same height who have
a naturally more massive bony ana
muscular structure. We must remem-
Der, too. that people tend to run IN
tvpes-just as other animals do. There
is an old saying. Did you ever see
fat race horse or thin pug dog or q
fat greyhound The reason is tnat
these animals develop along certain
well defined lines, no matter what their
diet may be. and to great extent 1t Is
the same with human beings.
The too-thin type is generally active.
nervous and wiry. Thin people are
generally good workers At the same
time, this side of the question can be
pushed too far. There is slenderness
and there is real emaciation-and the
two are very different. The most i'm
portant point, however. IS for the too
thin person to cultivate an evennesS OF
Temperament. It is not much use
putting on a pound or two by carefully
eating the right kind of food, If one
loses two or three pounds by worrying
and rushing about madly, either at
work or In pleasure.
Slenderness and suppleness are nat
ural, while emaciation is not. Ones
normal weight is the point at which
one possesses the greatest degree of en-
durance, strength and vitality. For
example, stout person. as his weight
becomes adjusted to normal, gradually
grows stronger, and the too-thin indi-
vidual, as his weight is increased.
gradually grows stronger, too. Un-
questionably, the woman or man who is
very much underweight will develop
strength and vigor while gaining in
weight. This is the point to be con-
sidered, SO as to bring ones self to the
finest physical condition.

The Best Society.

most intelligent people so busy with
their jobs that they have little time 10

distinction.
For the average person. who Is doing
his best to make his life useful and
pleasant, the best available society Is
that Of men who have written books

Read what able, thoughtful men and
women have written. and you will soon
come to feel that you know them. II
they have written little or nothing, read
their biographies.
One man whom you will find a good
companion is Benjamin Franklin, who
read wisely and worked wisely and

Some of them are at this very time

Leonardo was born in the village OF

His mother was . farmers daughter
and his father was q notary In the
service of Q nobleman in Florence. Not
many miles away. in the city Of Genoa,
another boy was growing up at the
same Christopher Columbus.
Because his son showed 30 much
talent in drawing. tho father of Leon
ardo arranged to have him study under
Andrea del Verrochio, q noted artist.
Soon after meeting the 17-year-old boy,
Andrea exclaimed, He is the pupil I
have always wanted to have!"
Leonardo lived up to his promises.
and more. He became one Of the great
artists Of history. His most famous
pictures. Mona Lisa" and THE Last
Supper" were painted when he was be-
tween the ages Of AZ and 81.
Leonardo was a many-sided genius.
BY his careful study Of the human
body. he did much to lay the basis for
the science Of anatomy. More interest
ing and more daring was his venture
into plans for the conquest OF the air.
While Columbus was sailing slowly
across the sea, Leonardo was making
drawings of inventions which he
thought would enable man to fly.
The sketches of Leonardo show that
he had a good idea Of possible bal
loon. Perhaps most amazing OF all, he
designed q parachute. Think Of q man
who lived more than 400 years ago
figuring how to make aviators safe!
Although Leonardo's inventions did
not come to the test Of use during his
lifetime, we may look upon him as q
mighty pioneer Of the brain. dreamer
whose dreams have come true after the

"She's No Chicken"

"she's no chicken" we hear. and
sometimes, shes no Spring chicken!"

vulgarity!
It's origin? To what could 1t possibly
be attributed but the cruel inventive

Not 50. The prying eye Of investiga-

She's no chicken" has a time-honored

whose seventeenth and early eighteenth
