SPINACH! How many times

I'm sure. I think that spinach
wwld be much more popular with

because it was so good for them
If you are still insisting that
they eat their spinach. u. and the
children insist that they don't
want to eat it. well, I'm here
With some grand spinach combina-
ti0,s that are sure to please the
most anti-spinach-minded child.
BAKED SPINACH: Three cups
cooked, finely cut spinach, two
eggs, one cup milk, three table
spoons flour, one tablespoon finely
chopped onion. two tablespoons
butter, salt
Make a thick white sauce OF the

Then Loyal Temperance Legion
Echo Service was participated in by
eight colored children trained by
Mrs. Hopewell, and the White
Ribbon Recruits included three
other children.
A special feature of the Sunday
session, was music by the Olivet
Baptist choir, which was enthuSl-
cally received. The choir, under the
direction of Napoleon Reed, was
heard in several renditiOnS. An
other interesting contribution of
Negro delegates were the hand
painted posters, made by Mrs.
Hopewell. which hung in the foyer
of the Stevens, Chicago's largest
hotel, delt tcting objectives of the

A WELCOME
Vidalia, my dear, we are glad you
are here,
We've been locking and listening
for more than year.
We love your company for we are
sisters you know
We have the same daddy and that
makes it so.
The same father above, the sams
father beneath
Makes us one family by will, o:
bequeath.
So you are welcome thrice, well
come to tell that we are
And also your friends, who have

You came once before, and we
opened wide the door
And you are as welcome this time
as you were before.

Grandma's S
Hair Cur At
Change Of
The Moon
f distributed by King Features
Syndicate, Inc.)

When grandma was wee olG
1assie, and it was the ambition OF
every woman to have pigtail ma
terial a yard long, the ends of her
hair were trimmed at the full OF
the moon. That practice it was
supposed, would make the, family
cherub's locks grow long and abun-
dant. she was firm in her belief
that something would come OF it,
though as time went on she lost
faith in the idea that if she ate
her bread crusts she would have
curly hair.
They used to consult the dream
book in those good old days.
Though that hasn't anybody to
to do with this beauty story. But
it does explain, in a way.
A superstition that still persists
is that if you will rub a style with
a gold wedding ring it will disap-
pear. A style is a small boil; when
it starts up in business it intends
to finish it. Il germ-or maybe
germess-has invaded the pore, set
up an infection. Pus forms, finally
the sack breaks. Rubbing with
metal would only cause an irrita-
ton.
We hear women say that if you
have a few facial treatments and
don't continue having them you
will get wrinkles. For that state
ment we have nothing but Sneers.
A facial is cleansing and stimulat-
ing. It helps to tone fibers. 1t is all
to the good, and every one helps
along in the war against old man
Time.
A notion that is general and
seems to make a wide appeal is
that oily cosmetics will cause
growth of superfluous hair to ap-
pear upon a woman's face. Ope-
TatorS of the electric needle, which
is used to remove these unsightly
growths, have made surveys which
SLOW that the worst cases are on
the faces of women who have
never used cosmetics.
The cause of the blemish is not
definitely known, but it is believed
to be the result of some mild
glandular disturbance. It has been
observed that if 10th parents have
thick. coarse hair, the unfortu-
nate daughter is likely to sprout
orlstles on her lip and chin. Just
too, much hirsute foliage in the
family.
II creams could cause a growth
of silky shafts, how busy the bald
headed boys would be dipping into
the mama's cold cream jars.
Exploded completely is the idea
that deodorants or deterrents used

So we strike glad hands and our
hearts leap for joy,
Let not sorrow, nor strife, our

So shall we be of one glad accord.

We had good preaching and the

We took in members, some were

But just somehow, we had a long

And when he did ccme, you bet

So today we are here and the
pastor too
Shaking glad hands, saying, How

We thank our dear Maker, for

But thank our God for his merci-
