COPY Of newspaper from a seat,
and found something which puts
over a point with humor. Through
the permission Of A. j. Mcdonald OF
The Knickerbocker News, l am
passing it on to you.
The title is Six Ways to Fail.
Cherish the delusion that in
dividual advancement is made by
crushing others.
.. Cultivate the tendency to
worry over matters that can neither
be changed nor corrected.
? Persist in the belief that a
thing is impossible because you
Yourself cannot accomplish 1t.
4. Don't give up your personal
preferences in order that more i'm
pGrtant matters may be brought to
fruition.
). Scoff at such trifles as person
al improvement and the cultivation
of lifes little refinements.
6. Don't bother to save money.
Six golden points, indeed. And
certainly worth clipping out and
carrying around.
When I was approached to write
a daily column for the newspapers,
giving examples of successful men
who might prove inspiring to others,
I was appalled, What? Write a
column every day for year, two
years, three years? 1t seemed i'm
possible! The work of those years
lowered before me like the Matter
horn. Then all of a sudden I said
TO myself: Why I'm not asked to
do a years work. I'm not asked
TO do even a months work. All
7 am asked to do is days work,
each day" That didn't seem 50
difficult. So I undertook it and
now I am having thrill doing it.
Let's do only days work each
lay. If we do that We won't get
nearly SO worn out.

Yes! Worry may be cast aside when seedless orange is chosen for fruit cup, salad or dessert. No thick membrane between the seg- ments! No seeds or pits to be dug out with an orange spoon! Slice it, cut it in small pieces, divide it into segments, or ream it for juice -i it's an easy orange to handle and a satisfying orange to serve.
 Now that California Navel oranges are on the market, it seems fitting to feature two or three recipes for winter dainties that are both tasty and healthful. The fact that oranges have an alkaline reaction when taken into the system will make these dishes particularly desirable to those who eat heavily of acid-reaction foods in cold weather. They may be looked upon as balancing dishes that are good as well as good for you.

Pleasing The Man
By CHLOE JAMESON


 There are times when a man sits and dreams of delicacies like Sweet breads la Roumage-a dish dis tinguished enough to belong to a royal household. Times again when his cravings descend to such things as pigs feet with tomato-hprSe- radish sauce. An, me what a leap for the home cook whose well ordered tastes stay on the path of regularities.
 But here are two recipes for days when the extreme appetite reveals itself: (The one is economical enough to offset the extravaganza of the other).

 1 pint boullion

 ? tablespoons chopped onion

 F tablespoon flour

When the onion is brown, add broth to water; cook until reduced to one-half, strain, if the bits of onion and seasoning are objected to. Add the mushrooms which have been sliced, the mushroom catsup, kitchen bouquet and salt; lay in the sWeetbreads, which have been par boiled, and simmer for a few min uteS. Add the wine and serve hot.

achievement, but she might have been decorated for culinary prowess as well. Nothing gives her greater joy than to prepare a dinner for her husband and delightful five year old son. Menus are varied ranging from the Belgian delicacies on which Mime. Bovy was brought up, to the South European favorites of her handsome Italian husband. Belgium is justly famed for the ex- cellence of its national dishes and for the high standard of cookery prevalent throughout the country. Although much influenced by the French cuisine and to a certain extent by the Dutch, Mime. Bovy has perfected herself in the prepa- ration of certain number of dishes which are entirely national, and one of them-Le Waterzoie- is said to be of great antiquity.

 Continental Snack
 Slice a pound of mushrooms very thin, and fry in butter with two small sliced onions. Add a pound of cooked lean ham which has been cut in match-like pieces (Julienne), a glass of heavy cream, a glass of sour cream and tablespoon of flour. Season to taste. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and place under the broiler until brown. Don't you get hungry just think- ing about it? do!

MOST FARMERS,
now andagain, have seen
their profit consumedin
shipping costs, for they
must compete with pro-
duce grown both close
to and far from the big
distributing centers. A
market at their door is
more important to the
farmer than to most
other business men who
can include freight
charges in their prices.
In the fiscal year 1887
Maryland distillers used
446,467 bushels of corn
and 2,4l5,057 bushels
of rye. They would pre-
fer to buy every bushel
from Maryland farmers.
They are financing an
experiment by the Uni
versity of Maryland to
produce locally a type
lof rye suitable for dis
! tilling purposes. The
distillers afford a large
potential market to the
farmers.
