The sugar may be omitted and individuals allowed the privilege of sweetening their glass- fuls, if they wish to do so. Ginger ale coffee is recommended to serve with rarebits, with nut and cream creese, or olive and cheese sand- wiches, or with salted crackers spread with cream or pimento cheese.

Urges Parents to Troin OMidrow's Dispositions DorothyDix Good Disposition Means Happiness and Pros- perity, So Don’t Let Children Grow Up With Bad Tempers. A BAD disposition s a greater handicap in life than any physical Infirmity, vet parents who will spend the last cent they have, and subject their children to agonles to have some bodily defect cured, do not think it even worth while to try to correct the abnormalities of their souls. If a child has crooked teeth, its father and mother would think them- selves lacking in dolng their duty if they failed to have them straightened, but they do not bother to straighten out a crude and rude little tongue that continually says things that wound and offend. Yet & set of teeth as perfect as a dentist’s dream will not take its possessor so far as a snaggle-toothed one that utters only kindly speeches, and that has the knack of always saying the right thing at the right place and time. It is a great misfortune to be crippled In body, but it is not half as great a misfortune as it is to be crippled in mind. The man with the warped body can go far, but the man with the warped brain, with the twisted mentality and the withered sympathies, finds his way blocked at every turn. 1t is a terrible thing to be deformed, but it Is not so terrible as it 1s to have a distorted soul. To be a hunchback is as nothing compared with carrying around with you & grouch that makes you surly and repulsive, and that makes all that come in contact with you shrink away from you In horror, It is a tragedy to be blind, but it is no less a tragedy to have eyes that see only what is disagreeable and bad in those about one, and that never perceive what is fine and noble. Nor is it any worse to be physically deaf than it is to be spiritually deaf to all reason and not to be able to hear the voice of wisdom. e s o INOW. as I sald before, Intelligent and loving parents are quick enough to try to correct all of the physical handicaps of their children, and in doing this they are right. No child, in these days, should be permitted to grow up with any disease or malformation that science can correct, but fathers and mothers should be just as eager to apply mental surgery to the temperamental defects of their young ones. And in childhood, while the mind, as well as the body, !s plastic, 1s the time to straighten the kinks in a boy's or girl's disposition just as surely as it is the time to straighten their backs or their legs. Children can be taught to be well mannered, to be pleasant spoken, to control their tempers, to be considerats of others, and to give and take, instead of arrogating everything to themselves. In a word, children can be taught to be agreeable, and there is no turn in their future life in which this will not stand them in good stead. Chief among the things that make for success are a pleasant personality and the abllity to get along with other people. These are almost the first qualities that an employer looks for in those he hires. No salesman is of value, no mattér how thoroughly he understands his line of goods, if he offends customers by his speech or manner. No man rises to be the head of a department if he is in a perpetual row with those about him. No gloomy, pessimistic, bitter-tongued professional man has clients flocking to his office. He may be a wizard in his line, but he dies unknown and unappreciated. It is literally true that we are advertised by our loving friends. They boost us up the ladder because they like us. People do things for us because they are fond of us that they would not do for us because it is our due to save our lives. A bad disposition Is at the bottom of nine-tenths of the failures in the world. It is why people with ability do not get on. Most 6f what we call bad luck is simply bad temper, so if your child has one, perform a major operation on it at once. Don't wait until it gets chronic. o s e » TEACI’! your children the art of making friends, and getting along with other people without friction. That is an asset that they can draw money on &t the bank. “He knows how to handle men,” has made many an otherwise ordinary chap the superintendent of a factory, or the president of a big rallroad. “He can't get along with people” has kept many a genfus at the bottom of the ladder. “He is o pleasant and agreeable” is why we buy our groceries of Mr. Smith, Instead of Mr. Brown, and sit under Dr. Robinson of a Sunday. It is the glad hand that does it, and considering the rewards that personal popularity brings, it is strange that parents do not think it worth while to take as much trouble to put steel braces on the cantankerous disposition of a child until they make its temperament symmetrical and beautiful as they would upon his legs if he were bowlegged. It would mean a lot more to the child when it was grown. Furthermore, almost every marriage that goes on the rocks is wrecked by a bad dieposition. Drunkenness, unfaithfulness, failure to support, or & dozen other causes, may be alleged In the bill of divorce, but the real reason is the temper or surliness of either the husband or wife, for we will stand almost anything from a man or woman so long as he or she is pleasant to live with. It is the nag, nag, nagging: the fault-finding, the whining and complain- ing that get on our nerves. It is the terrible temper that goes off in a blaze ot fireworks at the slightest provocation; it is the humiliating scenes that we are dragged through, and that leave us limp and exhausted and disgusted; it is the unforgivable insults that are hurled at us in transports of rage; it is the cruel and unjust reproaches that stab us to the quick that make domestie life at last intolerable. Therefore, becauss it means prosperity and happiness and everything in life worth having, I urge upon parents the importance of correcting the faults in their children’s disposition. Do not let them grow up hideous and deformed in soul any more than you would let them be crippled in body if you could help it. DOROTHY DIX.

C, MONDAY, MARCH 9, 1925 Bistory of Pour Name. BY PHILIP FRANOIS NOWLAN, GARFIELD. VARIATION—Gear, Geer. RACOAL ORIGIN—English. SOURCE—A locality, also an occupa- tion. The first syllable in this femily name is related to that in our modern word “garment,” and also in our word “gear,” which anclently meant trap- pings or apparel, principally war ap- parel. It comes from the old Anglo-Saxon word “garwlan” or “gearian,” which meant “to prepare,” and it is related also to the French word “guerre,” which Is really quite similar to the English “war,” if you remember that the “g” has been eliminated from the latter and that the “u” in the former was more anciently pronounced some- thing like a The garfield, or “gear-fleld,” was what the neme implies—a training or preparation fleld set aside for the use of the fighting men of the feudal community. In the perlod when family names began to take shape, Individuals liv- Ing near such places naturally re- celved such surnames as “de la Gar- fleld” or “atte Garfield.” “John o' Gear” would have been the John who had charge of the war gear, virtually an armorer, and from this calling have been derived the family names of Gear and Geer.

Mix both into the liquid with the back of a fork, separating the cooked cereals until the whole is well blended. Add half a cupful of flour sifted with two teaspoonfuls of baking powder and one-fourth teaspoonful of salt. The mixture should be the consistency of a thick batter, and more flour may be needed, depending up the stiffness of the mushes. Add at last two table- spoonfuls of sugar or molasses and one tablespoonful of melted butter.
