Ancient Legend
Explains Cakes

According to legend, there
lived in Shropshire a couple
named Simon and Nelly whose
children had grown and gone
out in the world, although in
those days of small transporta-
tion facilities that did not neces-
sarily mean they had gone very
far away.
Observing that she had failed
to use unleavened dough for her
preparations for this day,
Nelly's housewifely conscience
reproached her and she decided
to bake a cake in honor of the
forthcoming visit of her chill
dren. She mentioned the mat
ter to Simon, who reminded her
there was still some Christmas
pudding on hand. Could it be
used up, too? They decided it
could. All went well until it
came time to put the confection
in the oven. Simon held out
for boiling it. Nelly insisted it
should be baked.
Argument followed argument
and compromise was effected by
first boiling and then baking.
The result was delicious and
was christened Simon and
Nelly cake, which eventually be-
came "Simnel."

confeSSes his lies to his girl

fail them again. While men
profess they hate hysterical ses-

can bet they don't try to prevent
them by reforming. In their

Don't Be Fooled
By Confessions
Jackie has the right idea.
Women do love the Jimmies of
the world because they have
something to work on. That
is why men confess. They give
the women something to make a
fuss about without interfering
with their further interest in
their particular failing.

with the other girl, but I love
you only" I would say a good
healthy "razzberrieS" and hunt
up another boy.
All this talk of being led
astray or overpowered by temp
tation is a line to get more
favors and honey sweet forgive
ness. But confessions are not
preludeS to reform and don't
ever forget that.
But so long as women set
such store by confessions and
the scenes following. the men
are going to confess. Reforming
is a tongue-tied thing made up
of determination which takes
all the talk out of a man.
The Washington times., 1938-03-25

Man instinctively confeSses
because he knows that the Eve
in women makes them happy to
forgive, to be generous and to
reform. So man confesseS and
woman goes into action.
But most girls have the idea
that a confession means the
man is done with that particu-
lar failing. They are dead wrong.
He confesses and goes back to
the old failing with more gusto
because he is so relieved that he
has unburdened his conscience.
A letter has come to me from
a man who is a perfect example
of this masculine failing. He
tells me all, but does he say he
will stop gambling. his particu-
lar way of SHINING? Not he.

Crusade Saves 100000 Lives
 In United States

The success attending the cru- sade against tuberculosis, carried on since the turn of the century, will mean this year saving of 100000 American lives that would have been lost during the year if the tuberculosis death rate of 1900 had prevailed, according to Statisticians of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company. The tuberculosis death rate has al- ready reached a level which leads them to reiterate an earlier pre- diction of 194O tuberculosis mor- tality rate of 40 per 100000, as compared with 195 per 100000 es- tablished in 1900 in the Original Death Registration States = the six New England States, New York, New Jersey, Indiana and Michigan. The rate for 1888 is expected to touch 43 per 100000.
 Among the Metropolitan's In- dustrial policyholders, the statisti- clans say, the improvement has been even more noteworthy than that in the general population" In this significant cross-section of the American people, the tuber- culosiS death rate has declined steadily from 224.6 per 100000 in 1911, to point that now indi- cates a rate of AT per 100000 for the full year of 1888. While the rate for the policyholders has con- tinued somewhat higher than that for the general population, the two have been approaching each other so closely that it is esti- mated the year 1940 will find them nearly equal.
 Concentrated efforts of public health workers, both private and governmental, have produced re- suits in the campaign against tuberculosis that reach far beyond the reduction in the death rate alone" the statisticians say. "So- cially and economically, the gains to the country have been enor- nous. Innumerable homes have been saved from poverty and dis ruption. Many thousands, at the most productive ages of life, who otherwise would have been suf- ferers from the white plague are now working side by side with us in the daily tasks that are essen- tial to the business of the com- munity. Shall we, on the basis of these achievements, relax our ef- forts against tuberculosis? The answer is obvious: The battle is not over until the victory is com plete."
