FRYING LIVER.

fMTS. ~. w. r., OIOH HuU
To Mrs. L. NJ, Takoma Park:
This recipe for liver makes the
liver so tender that one scarcely
needs a knife. Either calf or
beef liver can be used with
equal results.
/. Soak slices of liver in shall
low dish, in a can of condensed
tomato soup undiluted, for one
hour.
2. Rinse liver and dry with
paper towels.
3. Have ready 1la cups Of
-four which has been seasoned
with 1 teaspoon salt and u tea
spoon onion salt.
4. Coat liver with flour mix
ture thoroughly and fry in
butter till just lightly brown
(few moments) on each side.
It's a great hit even with the
mo liver, please" crowd.
SUN BONNET.
mrs. NJ. H. B., HyattsDille)
If Mrs. o. S. j., Vienna, will
write to Miss Martha Henkel,
New Market, Va, for the slat
bonnet pattern, I believe she
would be accommodated.
Miss Martha, as she is affec-
tionately known. is 80 years old,
in full command of her facul-
ties. and delights in assisting
wherever she can. She wears a
slat bonnet on the streets of her
town, and no doubt has a pat
tern for it.
No harm in asking her!

RETIREMENT.
&c. B.. BetheSda) J

To Mrs. A. p, Washington,
who asked for opinions on re-
tiring. I retired about two years
ago on length of service and
about the minimum as to age
and I have Rugged myself ever
since for doing it.
A nameless churchman just
honored with the title Of
Emeritus" is quoted by Arthur
w. Tarbell on page % of his
book published in 1914, II Re-
tire to Cape Cod" Here it is:
A Greed of Retirement.
I will never grippe. I will al
ways be a student. I will think
every day of those who have
gone before and thus link the
future life with the present. Be-
cause need the power of the
endless life to live this life well,
will try to keep alive as long
as I live.
Another quotation that GER
tainly takes in retirement ap-
peared in "USDA," the Depart
ment of Agriculture house or
gan, issue Of December 5, 1949.
How to Live to Be 100.
An old family doctor gave
this recipe not long ago up in
Wisconsin: Quit looking for
knocks in your human motor;
learn to like work and people;
cultivate a hobby; learn to be
satisfied if the situation cannot
be changed for the better and
to accept adversely calmly;
learn to say the cheerful, hui
morous thing; meet your prob
lens with prompt decision;
keep your entire attitude and
thinking as pleasant and opti-
mistic as possible.
Finally. Sara Teasdale in her
poem. "The Philosopher" ex-
presses her wise and simple rule
Of life in these two lines:
II make the most of all that
comes
And the least of all that goes"

In answer to Mrs. G. LIS re-
quest may I submit the follow
ing from an old country hymn:
Little drops Of water
Little grains Of sand
Make the mighty ocean
And the pleasant land.
So the little moments
Humble though they be
Make the mighty ages

So our little errors
Lead the soul away
From the path of virtue
Far in sin to stray.

PAINTING FIREPLACE?
MRS. G, E., Siluer Spring.

We want to paint the brick OF
the front of our fireplace with a
water-mix paint. Officials Of
the paint company assure me
that it will adhere and stick to
brick satisfactorily, especially
If their sealer is used first but
my problem is this: Will the
heat from the fires we build
discolor the paint Just above
the opening to any extent? Has
any one painted a fireplace
with this brand of water mix
paint and then burned wood in
it? We would appreciate hear
ing from some one with this
experience.
We are anxious to use this
particular paint because the
walls and bookcases of our room
are done in this paint and we
minimize the size of the fire.
place by using the same color
Of paint.
Thanks for the many Won
derful hints from this column.
There Is hardly a day when I
do not feel that I have gathered
another important tid-bit.

Sundays do as little work as
possible. On Saturdays I try to
do a fairly thorough cleaning
and during the week do not at

than the rest of us and enjoys
a fairly peaceful meal. I try

everything, I just do what I

Some gardeners plan on getting

to wait a few days and let the

are likely to be conducive of rot

It has been suggested that the
tuberous-rooted begonias should
not be used in a shady situation

Igestion originated from one ac-

ever, they do make colorful show
ing if kept watered and growing
in a shady situation. A thick
mulch is helpful in keeping the
shallow growing roots cool and
moist.
Frequent spraying or busting
will be necessary to keep up with
the lush growth brought on by
the heavy rains. Blackspot and
mildew are likely to invade the
rose garden. while mildew and
other leaf diseases may attack
many other kinds of plants. Mil

usual fungicides, but sulphur still
is very effective. A hard blast o1
