Save The Seasoning

removes all the seasoning (absorb-

1t would be a good idea for
every livestock man to check his
stock ponds and see if his cattle
are losing weight from having to
walk too far for water. Consider
the increased income over a.
period of years from heavier
livestock against the cost of a
pond. If you think you would bene-

Barbecued Giblets

Next time you're barbecuing
chicken, don't leave the gizzard,
liver and heart for later use. Bar
becue them, too.
Simmer the gizzards first for
about 10 minutes in slightly salt
ed water. Then half or quarter
them and thread the pieces along
with the heart and liver on small
metal skewers. Place the giblets
over the barbecue flame about 10
to Is minutes before serving time.
They make excellent d'oeuvres.

10th Milestone In Scouting

THE FOURTH POINT of the Boy Scout Law reads: A "A Scout is Friendly. He is friend to all and brother to every other Scout"
 Now, as the Boy Scouts of America celebrate their 49th Anniversary during Boy Scout Week, February to 13 let us see how this friendness is fostered

 The weekly neighborhood Den meeting of the Cub Scouts, which is formed of youngsters g. and 10 years of ago. full of fun, they take themes of Amer ican history geography, natural science and safety. At monthly Pack meetings, where they put on inter estng demonstrations and program features, the Cub Scouts meet and to know the parents of members of the other neighboring dens.
 The Boy Scouts groups of boys Il and older, make friends they form patrols in the Troop, elect their own boy leaders, and plan their programs These friendships strengthened as they camp and hike together.
 The new Exploring program, for high school age young men, provides series of social experiences that helps Explorers increase their skill in working and living with others.
 Americas Scouts make friends with those of other lands at the World Scout Jaboree, usually held every four years Several hundred American lads will camp together with about 900 others from all parts of the world at the Tenth World Jamboree in the Philippines next July IT to 26
 Through the World Friendship fund of voluntary contributions since 1914 Boy Scouts of America have helped less fortunate brother Scouts of other lands We congratulate the Boy Scouts their 18th milestone.

DEAR ABBY: My wife and
I have been married for 26
months. We have two little
boys. My wife's girl friend
got married six months ago
and is expecting a baby in
the near future. She is also
in the process of getting a
divorce. Her parents won't
have anything to do with
her. My wife felt sorry for
her and told her she could
stay with us without asking
me. When my wife told me
this I said her friend could
not stay here as this is no
boarding house and we were
crowded as it was. l also
said if the girl friend stayed
here, my wife would sleep
with her and I'd sleep at the
office.
Now the wife is mad at
me. The girl friend moved
in and 1 moved out. What
do we do now?

Don't be stubborn. Move
back into the house. Buy,

THE COUNCILS VIEW
The widows club isn't a
bad idea, but we think that
all of the women in this
group are making a mistake
by taking up too much of one
another's time and build
ing up an interdependence
within such a small, special
group. These women will
very soon become sick of one
another's company.

selves to weekly or twice.

shoplifters, their looks and

accidentally hit her father
so hard with her elbow that
he suffered black eye.

pooed her hair and broke
the sink of the wall. She is
forever breaking combs and

pulled the handle off the re-

something I can do to teach
her to be more gentle and
ladylike or is this the way
all girls her age act?
AIMS MOTHER.
Your daughter, like most
teen-age girls, is bursting
with energy. She doesn't
know her own strength and
no one can teach her. When
she discovers that boys like
their girls to be the weaker
sex, she won't be able to
gather the strength to wind
her watch.
