WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine Lowmon

| Possessiveness is a devastating
characteristic. Take time, for in
stance. If we try to hold onto it
we lose the value and beauty it
holds for us. If our happy mo-
ments are darkened by thoughts
of parting or our current sue
cesses by fears for the. future, we
never have anything because the
future turns into the present.
The same thing is true of love.
This is a spontaneous, free emo
ton which cannot be ours on de-
mand. We never get it because
we ask for it nor can we bestow
it just because we wish to do so.
We are conscious of some of the
reasons for liking or loving others
but there is always that inde-
finable quality which makes some
one dear to us. Probably no emo
ton dies so quickly when treated
to the blight of posseSsiveness as
love does.
| Physical possessions too often
lstrangle the imagination. clip the
wings Of the spirit and smother
the dreams of the heart. While
pheasant and charming surround
ingS have spiritual values, yet
many persons are slaves to their
possessions.
Why not enjoy life day by day,
piece by piece, as 1t comes to us?
Why not put as much verve and
enthusiasm and understanding as
possible into each bit Of con-
sciousness as we receive it?

Then in World War l." she
continued. "their opportunities
expanded when factories opened
their doors to them, and again in
World War II when defense plants
needed their services.
1T Is unfortunate that women
made their greatest strides during
war;" she said. "But it is because
they were making greater strides
In the Job field that they should
find no excuse for not finding
suitable positions" she added.
Too many women are the vic

The back of the suit is brown
and the front is yellow with
brown flowers on the side.
However, this year noticed
light brown spots on the yellow
front. It looks like it might
be brown dye from the brown
part of the suit. I have washed

have also tried cleaning fluid,

MALT BEER:
LIQUID YEAST.
mrs. M. w. w., Arlington)

!
Some one inquired about
making malt beer. I inquired
from a number who had made
it and developed my own recipe
which T offer. Malt Beer: One
5-gallon crock or jar, 1
quart can of malt sirup, / grated
raw potato. 6 cups sugar (granu-
lated or brown, yeast cake in
cup warm water, 8 quarts
boiling water and 1124 quarts
cold or tepid water.
Put malt into the 5-gallon
crock. Pour in boiling water.
Add sugar and potato. Stir
thoroughly. Let stand an hour
or so. Add cold water to cool
the mix. Add yeast. Let stand
48 to u hours until it stops
foaming. Skim of foam. Pour
into clean bottles and cap. Let
stand for about a week. It then
will be ready to use.
The flavor is delicate and
compares well with commercial
products. I like to experiment,
but now am not situated where
I can even cook. I wish I could
try honey or real maple sirup
as the sweetening agent. Per-
haps some one may like to try
just for fun.
Here also is the recipe for
liquid yeast that some one asked
for: Two ounces hops, 2 quarts
water, u pound sugar. 2 tea
spoons salt, pound flour and
3 pounds potatoes Cooked and
mashed).
Boil hops and water / hour;
strain. Mix sugar, salt and flour
when warm. Let stand 8 days
in warm place. IF it foams over
stir well. On the third day
add mashed potatoes.
On the fourth day strain, bot
tie and keep in a cool place.
Use / cup of yeast to / quart
of liquid when starting bread.
FIXING HANDLE.
QUERY?
(Mrs. r. A. G.. Washington)
Mrs. r. M. c.. Washington:
There was a suggestion printed
in RICH a few weeks ago about
how to repair handles on a fry
ing pan where the composition
piece was broken. I tried it
and it is wonderful. Take an
empty sewing thread spool and
whittle down half of it to size
which will fit into the empty
socket cast in the pan. The un-
whitfield half of the spool will
take the place of the compost
ton piece.
AS I was unScrewing the
shank which holds the handle in
place, the shank broke in two
with the threaded portion still
in the pan on another of my
pans Of the same type. The
screw portion has evidently
frozen in place. Can any Of
you readers give me the ad-
dress Of the company whose
name starts the same as that
of q card suit?

area who produce products which
they wish to sell to the Govern
ment or to prime contractors ar
urged to take advantage of thi
service.

NEW MEMBERS

The Smyrna Lions Club, meeting
on Monday night at the Wayside

pharmaceutical supplies, which
was preceded by a brief talk by
Martin Golden, pharmacist, who
told of the great advances since
the days when the pharmacist
went into the woods and picked up
crude drugs, and made Shotgun
mixtures" When manufacturing
became too big for the pharmacist
the companies came into being,
and the film in color showed
graphically the complicated, effic-
lent, and enormous business it has
now become. Mr.. Golden said that
seventy percent of prescriptions
are made up in manufacturing,
and thirty percent are now COM
pounded by the druggist. Charles
