In many cases an upset digestive system can be traced to Taw fruit However, when the fruit is stewed and sweetened to taste with pure cane sugar, there is less danger of digestive disorders. As far as taste- appeal is concerned, stewed peaches, apples, berries, plums and pears are most enjoyable when chilled and served for dessert. In view of the fact that pure cane sugar is now at the lowest price it has been in a generation, and since fruit is still abundant, the value of stcrw away preserves of all kinds for Winter uss should not be over- profitable, but grocers are offering worth-while bargains in preserved its, jellies and jams.

It's put there for your protection. If you fail to find it—don't accept the ham for you're not getting Auth Quality.

Everyday Psychology BY DR. mnowu Is Character Inherited? I am continually being asked “Did I inherit my character from my parents?” What my inquirers expect, of course, is a “Yes” for an answer. They decided ‘lon that long ago. They are really want- {ing to know what reasons I may offer for a justification of their “Ye: | I must answer in the negative. now for the reasons. | 1 suppose that no two persons in all | the world agree on a definition of ehar- acter. And since the term “character” is really indefinable and only partially analyzable, it amounts to an unknown quantity or quality. So we are likel to think of character as that “some- thing” in our make-up which originated outside ourselves. And we begin to won- der what our parents had to do with it. Another reason is this: We do not as a rule think much about our so- called character until we find ourselves falling short of our ambitions. So we are likely to attribute these shortcom ings to others. No one gets much satis- faction out of admitting his or her own weaknesses. And so we turn to our an- cestors. Suppose these reasons for the “No’ are still unconvincing. You will get the same answer from your own aebser- vations. Everywhere you léok you will find children in the same family who differ enormously in character, however you define it. Just look about you and you will conclude that whatever char- acter is it does not seem to run true in very many families. yright And S‘(IHIUP(I TWICE L4 Protect Look for U. S.
