Ordering From French Menus

" GU may belong to that great
L army of people like myself who
can't make heads or tails out of
fancy hotel menus. Words like pate
de fol gras and hors d. oevres, al
ways make me feel dumb. Even
when the waiter asks me whether
I am ordering a la carte or table
d. hote, I never knew what he was
talking about until I looked it up
recently.
Table d hote is a French phrase
literally meaning table of the host
or landlord. Up until the middle of
the Eighteenth century, restaurants
and hotels as we know them now
did not exist in Europe. The old
inns were run on sort of family
plan, whereby everyone sat at the
table of the host and took whatever
was put before him.
There were no menus from which
one could order a la carte, which
means according to the bill of fare.
No one could pay for each dish
separately, depending on what he
wanted, but had to pay for the whole
meal whether or not he liked all the
courses. Thus table d'hote came
to mean a complete meal served in
courses at regular hours for fixed
price.
A la carte and other such phrases
were added by chefs who wanted to
give an impressive air to their res
taurant. They can now buy books
with all the French and Italian
phrases written out, and often use
them without knowing what they
mean. But when you get in tight
spot over one of them, you can al
ways tell the waiter to Bring me an
order of bacon and eggs" They
know what that means in any Ian
guage. And then, as final touch,
you might add, "Sprinkled with par
sley."

The ROYAL Game of Golf

CHARLES I of England played
~ golf near the Tower of London
while waiting for his executioner to
get his axe sharpened. Royalty and
notables of all kinds have played the
ancient game at least since 400 and
perhaps much earlier.
But golf has become a popular
sport only in the last 80 years. The
invention of the rubber-cored ball
about 1900 is the reason for its
rise in popularity. Before that, play
ers had used little leather balls
stuffed with feathers and later the
gutta-percha ball.
Golf played with the gut ball was
no game for the ordinary dub. When
hard and well hit by the profession
al, it might possibly go 200 yards,
but the amateur was lucky if he
could get $50. Under those condi-
tons, what fun was it to push a little
white pellet around with a knobbed
stick?
The India-rubber ball introduced
something new. The dub could get
200 yards and maybe more.
With the new ball, second and
third-rate players could score as
well as many professionals had be-
fore. That was what the game need
ed. The first 18-hole course in Amer
lea was not built until 1893. By 1916,
there were TAP courses, and this
number balloned to 1903 in 1928
and 1856 in $780, So now most wives
are widows on Saturday afternoons,
but it's worth it!

The Mark of Beauty

Beauty is the mark God sets
on virtue-Every natural action
is graceful; every heroic act is
also decent, and causes the place
and the bystanders to shine.
That something is a fact, doesn't
make it a legitimate subject of
conversation.
One can be the most tolerant
when he is not in the actual pres
ence of what he is to tolerate.
After all, "getting cold feet"
may indicate only coming to ones
senses.
Among the Indians, every male
had to be brave or be chased out
of the camp. Imagine an Indian
sissy.
Makeup of Good Manners
Good manners are made up of
petty sacrifices. Temperance,
courage, love are made up of
the same jewels.
Chance favors those who are
ready.
Usually, you get as far away
from "a man with an iron will"
as life will permit. Most people
like their own wills to have a
breathing chance.
Beware of eccentricities. They
may become imbecilities when
one grows old.
No matter how little and insig-
nificant a man is, he can make
as big noise as anybody in an
automobile blockade. M y e
that's why he does it.
Attributes Of Character
Test and enterprise, vigor and
hardihood, faith and fervor, are
not of time but of character.
When girl agrees to share a
mans lot she makes the most i'm
pOrtant decision of her Iife-ex-
cept when she gets a divorce.
If everybody's aim was to make
others happy, even your armor
would be penetrated, you old
hardShell.
A wise wife praises her hus-
bands wit, and a wise husband
praises his wife's beauty.

A Mental Inventory
Unless We Work to Attain Fruition

IT is well in these early weeks of
! the New Year for us to take a
sort of mental inventory of our
selves, and see if we are foster
ing any of the good things which
we openly spoke of, or silently
wished would materialize during
1887. Have these things already
gone into the dump heap of fulfill
ty? Have they been scrapped be-
cause of no effort on our part to
further their becoming realities?
Are we aware of this scrapping?
Or do we still vaguely suspect
they will materialize or be fulfilled
just becuse we think of them with
desire?
Action Essential.
Most of us remember the Ma
cawberism "Name a wish and
crafty it." There have to be things
set in motion before a wish can
come to fruition. Unless we actu-
ally want a thing enough to try to
get it, we cannot want it very
much. Our New Year wishes if
they are to be fulfilled should be
more than thought-seeds by now.
They should have been planted
and tended and perhaps have be-
gun to show tiny sprouts.
AS wishes vary according to de-
sires of individuals and avenues
of opportunity for them to materi-
alize differ, it is difficult to make

The modern way to ease a cold is
this: Two Bayer Aspirin tablets the
moment you feel a cold coming on.
Repeat, if necessary, in two hours. If
you also have sore throat as result
of the cold, dissolve 3 Bayer tablets in
Is glass of water and gargle with this
twice. The Bayer Aspirin you take
internally will act to combat fever,
aches, pains which usually accompany
cold. The gargle will provide almost
instant relief from soreness and raw
ness of your throat. Your doctor, we
feel sure, will approve this modern
way. Ask your druggist for genuine
Bayer Aspirin by its full name - not
by the name aspirin" alone.

G Western Newspaper Union.
The Discovery of Insulin

q My fifteen years ago, anyone
" who fell sick with diabetes was
almost as good as dead. Doctors
knew that diabetes occurred when a
person had too much sugar in his
blood. They also knew that the pres
ence of sugar was due to an i'm
properly functioning pancreas. But
no one knew how to correct the
situation.
Along about 1920, an mex
perienced young doctor named Ban
ting was struggling to get estab-
lished in London, Ontario. An ex-
farmer boy and war veteran, Ban
ting knew practically nothing about
scientific research, but he did have
one brilliant idea.
If the pancreas produces Gfe-sav-
ing juices that prevent diabetes,
Banting thought, why not isolate
this precious extract from animals
and give it to diabetic humans?
The very thought of such pos
sibility set him on fire. He sold his
office furniture and medical equip
ment to get money for his living
expenses in Toronto where he could
try it out.
Some of the worlds best scientists
had already experimental with Ban
ting's idea. They had failed because
they lacked his determination and
ingenuity. With the help of Charles
Best, a twenty-one-year-old chem
istry student, Banting experimental
first upon dogs and then upon chron-
ic diabetic sufferers. With his treat
ment, most of them made amazing
recoveries. The treatment consisted
of daily NEGOTIATIONS of his pancrea-
tic extract, insulin. Millions of reo-
pie all over the world owe their
lives today to Banting's phenomenal
discovery.

not, it can be nurtured. Perhaps
in the quiet of ones own room,
one can prepare oneself for calm
