Soon, It's ;Sap}S Risin n

The cry of "sap's risin'" has be-
come almost as familiar to Amer

blows!" Both of them are tradi-
tional from the era of the Nations
lusty youth, when our whaling ships
were kings of the seas and our New
England naples yielded one of the
worlds greatest and most delicate
sweets
Whaling and the maple sugar in
dustry still go on, but the push and
vigor of the old days is considerably
less. Still, early every spring, some
unknown, mysterious message comes
to the sleeping New England farmer
and he leaps from bed in the black
dawn, awakening the houehold with
his call, "sap's risin'!" No one knows
just how the information is con-
veyed, but some instinct tells him
that the moment of sugaring has
arrived.
The family springs into action
and the buckets and spiles are hur-
ried to the orchard and the work OF
drawing the precious sap is under
way. It's hard work in, the cold
but the labor is Offset by the fun
that the youngsters have making
maple wax" To make this, the
maple sirup Is cooked down until
it is very, very thick and then poured
quickly on the cold, crusted snow
The sudden coldness forms smooth

them to various dishes.

CURRY POWDER-A condiment

mainly in curried dishes, but a

Why Grow Old?
By Josebhine LotOman

Personal eating habits are strange
According to some psychologists
mans taste in food is greatly af-
fected by past experience and emo
tions. Mans longing for food like
mother cooked" is sometimes an ex-
ample of this.
Mother may have been dreadful
cook and perhaps made biscuits OF
pie that would have given a horse
the h1ccoughs, but her son may still
long for "pies like my. mother used
to make" He first formed his liking
for them when he was young and
very hungry and almost anything
tastes good, and in his memory, the
biscuits or pie are tied in with hap
.piness and time of security and
love for his mother.
The community in which we live
also affects our choice of foodstuffs
Some foods are more easily obtain
able than others and tradition also
enters into the picture. For in
stance, the best-loved dishes of the
Southern States are very different
from favorites of New England or
the West.
OF course, the pocketbook also
plays its part in our food habits
Some foods have been prohibitive
for some families and the fuller the
purse the more temptation to fill the
diet with tasty, devitalized foods and
fewer of the simpler, vital ones.
Some food aversions have been
correlated with examples set by a
loved one. If a greatly admired

Lowell S. Selling, M. D., and
Mary Anna S. Ferraro, M. S., present
an interesting idea in their book,
THE Psychology of Diet and Nutri-
ton" (W. w. Norton g. Co., New
York;. They suggest that old peo-
pie are more resistant to new ideas
changes in diet included! They are
likely to feel that what was good
enough for father Is good enough
for me-"
These authors say, THE part Of
the community that Is most likely
to adjust to a new article of diet is
the group who still have some of the
adventurousness Of adolescence, with
Well-rounded attitudes toward food,
so that they are no longer being
coached as to what to eat and yet
are not so old that they are resistant
to new ideas"
So, don't give your age away by
being resistant to the new ideas on
nutrition and don't age prematurely
by clinging to habit and tradition
closely.

known Of all and the most in use.
Have you ever tried spreading a bit
on American cheese that is to be
toasted? And don't forget its worth
in mayonnaise. A bit will do Won
ders to the ready-made dressings.
Try adding little sugar to mus
tard for extra smoothness.
NUTMEG-A dash of this makes
world of difference in a milk
shake, in beef stew and in the
cream gravy for fried chicken, and
it makes a dream thing of apple
sauce.
PAPRIKA-Useful both as a COL
oring matter and for its delicate
flavor. Get the sweet Hungarian
type if you can and make real
"paprika chicken" or goulash.
PEPPERCORNS - Should be
ground freshly in your own pepper
mill for use in French dressings
and can be used whole in soup
stock, stews or with roasts.
PEPPER-Heat deteriorates pep
per, SO don't keep it on shelf near
the stove. Its uses are legion. Go
easy with cayenne pepper. It's
powerful stuff, but wonderful on
italian goat-milk cheese.
PIMENTO-The dried berry is
known as alspice and is used in
many bakestuffs, but is also good in
beef soup, in hot spiced wine and
in hamburger.

Notwithstanding the care our
post Office takes of mail, we are
asked not to send money of more
than small change value except by
registered mail. A letter on this sub
ject says: "I inclosed a greenback in
a Christmas card to friend but

urally I am wondering how can

her embarrassment"
I hope that you had it registered,
in which case it should be simple
to ask her about it and explain that
If she never received it, you would
like to put in a claim at the post

On the other hand, if you sent

Answer-O Yes. If bride has
neither father, mother nor older

Not if he is younger than 81. Other

Dear Mrs. Post: When time is a

is not possible for us to pay visit

a note would.

Dorothy Dix Says

seller, the painter of fine picture,
the cinema stars with their fabulous
salaries, are all tagged as success
/ full; yet few, if any of them, have
ever gotten their hearts desire.
There was always a greater glory
that they were reaching for and
never grabbed.
! So how are We to define success?
How is any one to know what to
strive for that will assuredly put him
on top? How is any one even to
measure his own abilities? We
might almost say that success is a
thing we spend our lives toiling for
in blood and sweat, and when we
get it, it is bubble that collapses
in ur hands.
Personally, I think a successful
life is one in which the individual
does the work he loves to do for
itself, without reference to its re-
ward, and who leaves the world a
little better and kinder place than
! he found it.

Dear Miss Dix: Our senior class

SUCCESS and figure out its mean

cause it means SO differently to diff

success to one may seem utter
failure to another, and I doubt if
any one, when he comes to die, can
ever look back upon his life and
feel that it has been success.
We call the man who has piled up
a big fortune financial success, but
it may have brought him no love. no
tender human associations, no hap
piness, none Of the things that are
really worth while. We call the man
a successful politician who has held
many public offices, but if he has
never won the position to which he
aspires, the taste of failure is bitter
in his mouth. The writer of a best

To keep a piecrust from shrinking
when cooking 1t without filling in
1t, place an empty pie pan on top of
the crust before putting it in the
