Butter One of Best Fats. Experts classify butter with the fats in diet, along with bacon, salt pork, oil, suet, lard and cream. While it is pos- sible %0 maintain life without fats, it is really very important to have them, in some form or other. Fats, you know, provide fuel for the body. Fuel is also h | derived from sugar and starch; but food becomes very unpalatable when it con- tains no fat, and most persons are bet- | ter off when they haye a certain amount in their diet. It has also been found that butter has certain vitamins which are not con- tained in certain butter substitutes. It is therefore rather important ‘for chil- dren to have some butter when it is pos- e. An excessive amount of butter is apt to induce-overweight. Large amounts of butter may also “disagree.” In very rare instances even small amounts of butter seem to act as a sort of polson. But such cases are very rare indeed. Otherwise butter seems to be a most whaluome lrtlcle of food. rsons seem to overloock the hct lhl(. butter, like milk, must be prp- tected from impurities or that it may be | contaminated by improper handling. It | really is important that milk and cream | to be used in the making of butter shculd be handled with utmost scrupu- lousness.

C., WEDNESDAY, The Woman Who Makes Good BY HELEN WOODWARD, At Ease in Company. A distinguished lady told me some- thing surpri§ing the other day. She said that she is 80 afraid of people that before she can enter a room in which she is to meet & group of strangers she has to say to herself over and over again, “I am handsome,” “I look lovely,’ am at- tractiv am in- teresting. 1 Ahe did not % assure herself she would not be able Wi er head up. Aad the quesrpers M Westnped handsome with_her. other people are shy Probably the very strangers in that rcom are uneasy. They are afraid she won't think them good enough, and she thinks they won't find her good enough. Does that sound familiar? make you_ say, “Why, I am like that myself.” Have you thought, “If I were rich I wouldn't be shy and self-con- scious with _strangers. Have you thought, “If I were marvelously beau- tl(ul 1 _would enter a room without " Have you thought, “If I were a bruuunz talker I wouldn’t mind speak- ing out in groups of people.” | I know & man, of fine mind and | handsome presence, who shrinks in a kind of terror from all formal parties. He's so afraid that he will not say any- thing interesting. And what do you su pose he is—a scholar or a poet? No, Does it Dr. Samuel Johnson was able to rap the knuckles of others with greater fa- cllity, perhaps, than any other wise- cracker of his time. His habit of speak- ing was apt to be surly and gruff. But it was always to the point. Very mixed companies used to dine at Admiral Walsingham's. Dr. John- son was a guest one night when the others included such diverse personali- ties as the Duke of Cumberland, Mr. Leclnni the singer, and Nairn, an op- young naval officer lhuperzfl to the guests that he intenced to attack the old bear, of whom they all seemed to stand in such awe. He proceeded to do so, but for a long time Johnson re- fused to pay any attention to his im- pertinences. said: "NOW. s6n, we h.ve had a most excellent dis- course today.” “That may be,” he retorted, “but it is impossible that you should know it.” The celebrated Hannah More once praised Johnson fulsomely to hu face. "'Connder what your flattery is worth before you choke me with it,” he said. He felt suEfnor to women and this may explain his- rudeness to Miss More. A few years later he valued her com- mendations highly. Dr. Johnson hated the Scotch, and said many bitter things of them and to do while you'’re mixing your dough! TBE biggest part of the work you expect from your baking powder should be done by the time you put your dough in the oven. For the success of baking depends on the leavening that takes place in the mixing. Baking experts and scientists know that exactly two- thirds of the leavening should occur in the mixing. That’s the reason why 52 exhaustive laboratory tests are made in the manufacture of Rumford—to make certain that Rumford’s leavening always tekes place in the perfect proportion of two-thirds in the mixing to one-third in the oven. Two-to-one leavening assures cakes and hot breads that are light and even-textured, it a word ~—perfect. And you can get two. -to-one leavening only with a pure all-phosphate baking powder such as Rumford. You owe it to your family to give them the bene- fit of Rumford’s healthful content of Calcium and Phosphates. Get Rumford today from your grocer.

You would think that if there were a thing in the world that would cure & man of shyness, it is that particular experience and success., Well, 1t hasn’t done so in this case, 8o you see there are rich people, and beautiful people, and hnm-m people, who are afraid to walk into a roomful of strangers, who _are afraid to speak out in company. The cause of shyness lies in yourself, in your imagination, not in reality. As far as conversation is concerned you can be sure that any girl who speaks out what she thinks is interest- ing. It is only when you &rymfl(ure out what some one el u to say that you are dull. l.‘vn ly has interesting thoughts. And '-ht only way to be at ease is to be yourself. If you trying to do what you think is ex- ted of you it as as though you were d up with cords. And you will act in a constrained and uneasy manner. ‘You cannot rely on experience to re- lease you from the prison of shyness. You must find another recipe. I sug- gest that & good one is to forget what you yourselt are feeling and try to re- member what everybody else in the room is doing and feeling. It's not a bad recipe. Shyness in young people is an at- tractive quality to the person looking on, but it's a torture to yourself, Shy people are often very winning. h the man and the woman whom I have described to you are charming, partly because of their shyness, But they themselves suffer.

Stay in the Fight. “He that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.”—Mark, xiii.13. Life is a struggle. We may have a few easy-going days, but we are all the | while passing from one battle to a other. It is better that it should be so. It is in length of patient endurance that | in mankind | so much of what is is shown. If we never had any strug- gles we would never develop those great virtues which go to make strong man- hood. And, besides, life affords no greater pleasure than that of surmount- ing difficulties. Many people imagine that the happy life is the easy life. They imagine if they could get to where life is easy they would be supremely happy. Noth- ing could be further from the truth. You will find the happiest people in the world among those who are working the hardest and struggling the hardest, not among the idle and easy-living. Go at this life where you will, and | if you make anything out of it you | must be prepared to “endure hardness as a good soldier.” The conditions of uest are not, easy—at least, I have & | never found them so. For me life has been a pretty hard battle. “Yet I argue not against Heaven's hand or will, nor bate a jot of heart or hope, but still bear up and steer right onward. Often, when I get into a hard fight and it seems as though the battle is t me and I am tempted to g:r‘:‘ back, I recall the famous words of | ind- o can Wellington at Waterloo, “Hard ing; gentlemen, but we will see W} pound the longest.” ‘The man who holds on and keeps | pounding away is the man who wins in life’s battles. “Whoevér perseveres will be crowned.” Never mind the strug you are having.

This prevents the shoes from spotting or changing color, and when they be- come muddy or dusty they clean very easily by simply rubbing with a soft, dry cloth. This wax makes them waterproof to a certain degree. (Copyright, 1931.)
