Loving words will cost but little Journeying up the hill of life, But they make the weak and weary Stronger, braver for the strife. Do you count them only trifles? What to earth are sun and rain? ever was a kind word wasted; Never one was said in vain. When the cares of life are many, And its burdens heavy grow, For the ones who walk beside you, If you love them, tell them so. What you count of little value Has an_almost magic power, And beneath that cheering sunshine Hearts will blossom like a flower. So. as up life’s hill we journey, et us scatter all the way Kindly words, to be as sunshine In the dark and cloudy day. Grudge no loving word, my sister, As along through life you go, To tha ones who journey with you, If you love them, tell them so. —Exchange. COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS. When upon life's billows you are tem- pest tossed, vou are discouraged, thinking all is lost, Count vour many blessings, name them one by omne, And it will surprise you, what the Lord has done. When Are you ever burdened with a load of care? D’the cross seem heavy you are called to bear? Count your many blessings, every doubt will fl And you will be singing as thes days g0 by. Count your blessings, name them one by one, Count_vour blessings, see what God has done: Count your many blessings, name them one by one, vour many blessings, see what God has done COLONY HOUSES VS. LONG HOUSES. Count Dear Sisters and Brothers: Ther2 no kind of poultry house that will suit all. There is much disagreement in the ideas of poultrymen regarding pouitry houses. ~The poultry house is for the comfort of the hens more than the convenience of their owner. T have found that from 15 to 30 birds will do better in one house than put- ting 100 or more together. For that reason the colony plan has a good many followers. Th2 hens have free range, the houses can be moved on to fresh ground. the hens pick up a good deal of th liv If a dangerous disease like chole or out, as it seldom does, in a house. it can b2 confined to one house. Yts disadvantages are that even in| pleasant weather it requires a good deal of time to tend the scattered flocks, and in winter during bad weather it is hard to care for them, and if they are moved too far from | the house thiev will find it easier to steal them. The' long house has its advantages in being easy to tend the flock, clean the house, and takes less material to bufld a house to keep the same num- Wher of hens, as there are the sides 2x tra on the colony houses. But the first ecost of the larger house is more, as the emall anes can be made of piano boxes and short piec2s and can be built by almost anyone with a little gumption. The disadvantages of the long house fs if a disease breaks out it has been found almost impossible to confine it to that compartment. as the germs travel in the air and are carriad on the feet. The majority of large poultry plants are run on this plan. Most poultrymen claim that the advantages and drawbacks balance each other, and that the extra care in the long houses equalg the labor of the colony house plan. A comblnation of the two methods is good, but is not practiced much. The eolonv house could be used for the breeding stock and the long houses for the hens for egg production. I have one large house with czllar under Jjt. and four small ones The hens the smaller ones .ay better. are out all the time, while those in the long house, if thay were allowed to have their own wayr. would stay inside and not lay as well. besides fighting for a certain place on nests and roosts and crowding.

Dear Corner Sisters: A lady remarked to a group of friends ‘I have never yet suffered with a he2adache.” “Which fact.” once answered one friend, “aceounts for your youthful appear- ance. “You cannot mean added another lad group joined in with: “Tell us vour secret! recipe!” “Rest. rest, other words, Nature's remedy—sleep,” answered. We all know that woman should take a certain amount of rest each day. It is not necessary for her to sleep; but a rest of say 20 minutes each day works wonders for a tired, nervous woman, provided she really rests. Women quite often alow their bump of ambition to go ahead of their bump of endurance. 5 Ona of these over-ambitious women remarks that she would do just so much work in one day if it took her life. Such a woman pokes at the one who dares to mention taking a rest in the daytime. “Scandalous!” what vou say. while the whole Give us the plenty of rest, or in an abundance of Dame the speaker she says. “Why, my friends might think I was getting lazy.” Fach time she overdoes means 16 years added to her appearance; be- _ sides a loss of strength which may | this never be regained. Sometimes we hear these words, in fact quite often: “I don’t realize how tired I am until I stop.” The point is, if we snatch a few moments each day for the desired resi it will enable us to keep on hand a surplus in our strength reserve, rzady to meet any emergency which may re- quire extra endurance. Each individual knows best what time of day is the most convenient for resting. Batween 1 and 2 in the after- noon is a time when most women may stop the household machinery for a few moments, even if some task has te wait till after the rest. Work is only play when he feel restad. If there are youngsters, require them to either take naps or to be quiet while mother takes her rest. This requires much perseverance, but it can be done. How to Rest—I.ie flat on the back, arms relaxed at the side: take a few deep breaths: than relax all the mus- cles; close the eyes and think pleas- ant thoughts. If one only desires to rest, then keep this position for 20 minutes; but if one desires to sleep, after lying for 10 minutes on the back, all muscles relaxed. turn on the right side, and if a good sleeper you’ll be in Dreamland in a jiffy. ‘When resting, kesp one thought in your mind, that vou are alone with vourself, and that you must rest, rest, rest. Sisters, when you consider that the above is not only a recipe for resting. for keeping yvoung. belisve me, 1 find it worth trying. Where is the woman, especially a Social Corner ter, who is rot anx- ious to keep vouth with her as long as she can? Every woman can do it if she will take plenty of sleep and rest, fresh air and sunshine. The rest recipe is for men and wom- en; therefore, whether our Corner itor is Mr. Editor or Lady Editor, is within re2ach. Who knows how much patience and thought is required to run a Social Corner? DREAMER. JANET WRITES FERPLEXED. Dear Sister Perplexed: You have my sympathy, if your are obliged to keep house and feed and clothe a family of five on nine dollars a week. However, keep p courage, dear, for T believe you can do it; and who knows but what it is a blessing in d guise. You certainly will never have to answer for the sin of extrava- gance. Think if T were compelled to live on amount, should choose a little home on -the outskirts of the city where rent would be cheap and sun- shine and fresh air plentiful. I think husband and wife should consult together to make every penny go as far as possible. Do not worry if you cannot have meat: that is a lux- ury you can live without, and enjoy as good if not better health. There are other foods that contain meat value | and do not cost nearly as much. I think neariy everyone eats more than is good for them. L.ook around at some of your more wealthy friends. You will generally find them complain- | ing of some ill or another. If vou ana your family enjoy good health, thank God for it, for yon are richer then they. In summertime when fresh vegeta- bles and eggs are cheap, it does not cost much to live. In winter watch | the bargain sales for a good brand of | canned goods. Bi when they are cheap. Condensed soups, especially | the tomato and vegetable, can he| bought for $1.08 a dozen: and I don't know but less. Good bananas can be bought for ten cents a dozen: to be sure, the skin has just commenced to| turn brown, but that is just the tmei | to eat them. Oranges can be bought 16 or 18 for a quarter. You can af- ford to enjov these little luxurfes, and | when tr es go up let them alone. | e breads can be made very reasonably. and are more whole- some than the fine breads. Cakes and doughnuts that require but one egg you can have sometimes. 1 will send you some recipes of good wholesome dishes later, as T fear the length of my letter aiready will try the patience of our good editor JANET.

ISABELLE'S CRANBERRY RECIPES Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: Company and the fair kept me from writing last week: but nevertheless 1 read the letters, just the same, and am glad there are so many new sisters, This afternoon T am golng to the | Cranberry Bog to get my winter’s sup- ply, and I wonder if some of the sis- ters would like to come with me; but in case you do not, I will give you some of my recipes: Cranberry Pie — Stew cranberries,: sweeten to taste; fill the pie and bake with two crusts. Cranberry Pie. No. 2—Chop {hree cups of cranberries; add three cups sugar, “one tablespoon of cornstarch dissolved in a little water; fill cup with boiling water and mix together. Cranberry and Raisin Pie—One cup of cranberries cut in halves, half cup seeded raisins, one tablespoon of corrn- starch wet in cold water, one cup su- gar, and a pinch of salt. Pour over all one cup boiling water. This makes one pie. Steamed Cranberry Pudding—Cream half cup butter; add slowly cup sugar, three well heaten eggs; mix three tea- spoons baking powder with 31-2 cups flour; ad this to first mixture with half cup milk; add two cups of well floured cranberries: turn into a but- tered, covered mould: put into a ket- tle of boiling water; cover tightly and steam for two hours. Serve with cream, sweetened and flavored with nutmeg. Leoking ot of the window I see a team, and I wonder who it can be; perhaps it is some of the sisters, after all—and sure enough it is L. H. K., and I know she will go with ane and we will have a-jolly time; but before going 1 will write my recipe for Sponge Cookies—One cup sugar, half cup butter, two eggs, three-quarters cup milk, two teaspoons cream tartar, one teaspoon saleratus in two cups of | flour. Save out whites eggs, beat Stiff and fold in last. Pour into a small | baking pan, sprinkle with granulated sugar and nutmeg. When done cut in any desired shape. Now I am ready to go, and L. H. K.. didn't I go with you once in Scotland? Stop and think! initials then L. H. Norwich. And ‘weren't your G ISABELLE. A HOT LUNCH IN EIGHT MINUTES Sisters of the Socoal Corner: I sup- pose many office girls, like myself,have to carry their noon lunches, For sev- eral years I took the regulation “sand- wich-cake-pie” affair, with the result that T went home at night nearly fam- ished, and dyspepsia began staring me in the face. T finally tried the following plan, with such great success that nothing would induce me to go back to the old way: I got a little alcohol stove, and ten cents’ worth of wood alcohol: filled a tiny screw-top bottle with matches; bought a pie-tin (smallest size and of heavy tin), piece of asbestos paper, ta- ‘blespoon, knife and fork. This was the cooking cutfit. For carrying the food to be heated, I used a ten cent size Nabisco tin as it would slip easily into my handbag. ‘When lined with wax paper it could be packed solidly with meat and potato. I have found that it is better to take food that has been partly cook- ed; as chops, steaks, etc., or cold siic- ed meat with a little gravy. Mashed or creamed potatoes are most satisfac- tory, although boiled ones may be re- heated in butter or grav By actual count, you can have the stove going and the food smoking hot in _less than eight minutes. The hot food, with bread and but- ter and cake, makes an appetizing and satifying meal, and I do not feel “all gone’ before supper time. As to the dishwashing, I clean off the pan, knife and fork with paper, wrap them up in a paper bag, and slip them into my handhbag, to be scrubbed and s-:alded at home. MARY WAYMAN., Norwich, L. # K’'s DOMESTIC HELPS AND COMMENTS. Dear Editor and Sisters of the So- cial Corner: I am sending a few house hold helps which perhaps will be new to some of the sisters: To keep tinware from rusting: Rub over with fresh lard when new, then thoroughly heat in the oven before using. To prevent black petticoats from soiling ecocrsets and corset covers, sew a white bias fold about one and one- half inches wide around the inside ot the belt. To remove wagon grease from cloth, rub with lard. After fifteen minutes | wash out thoroughly with hot water and soap. Never press a fur-lined coat Tt will ruin the skins. Take a very Avet sponge and go over the garment thor- | oughly if it has become very wrinkled or soiled; then hang on a ferm in the When dry it will look like open air. a new coat. When removing ribbon from soiled corset covers or aprons, fasten a piece of twine on one end and. pull through. Take off the ribbon. leaviig the string in the garment while it is being laun- dered. Then by tving the ribbon on the end agair it is easily pulled back into place. Isabelle: O. ¥ I got enough huck- leberries for a pie last week. I'm glad vou like the cold water cake, as it was of my own invention. M. Ronea: It was as good as going to fhe fair again to read vour fine story. 1 sent a large “shortcake,” so | all the sisters may have a piece. Hope | it will go around.

Dear Editor and Sisters of the Social Corner: The Editor so kindly inserted the letter I wrote two weeks ago thatu it has given me courags to wrie again. There are so many good letters each week that I expected mine would find a resting place in the waste basket. I was much interzsted in Roena's pleasant experiences London county fair, and 1 hope she will make an effort to come to our Windham county fair next) week. She has sug- gested a Social Corner picnfc. Now wouldn’t that be & grand placz to have it? Nice picnic ground there, so come along, all ye Sisters with baskets of goodies, and “we will meet you at the Once inside the ga we can find the ladies’ department, and the Sisters will of course he interested inxthe food exhibit. I wouldn't be surprised if Clara of Canterbury tried her luck, she seems to have such a large stock of racires on hand. I hope she will take the cale premium. The ldren’s department has al- ways been worthy of notice. It is really quite wonderful what our voung girls can do in the wayv of cooking. Now just a word to the mothers: Do by all means teach your young daughters how to cook. It is a duty that you owe to them as well as to yourself., They will like to try cake first, of cour: Well, let them: but have the bread making next, for bread is tk staff of life.” Thanks to all for vour patience and. long g, and not to weary you longer, rather read than write a letter, I will just add several tested recipes and wish you all success and happi- ness. Japanese Cake—One and one-half cups of sugar, one-half cup of butter, two eggs. one cup of sweet =ilk, two and one-half cups of flour, two tea- spoons baking powder.

Pa went to the fair. He was with the Social Corner boys all day. enjoyed the racing. horses can go some. Pa traded horses with Rural Deliv- ery. When I saw that horse I had a pratty poor opinion of Rural Delivery till Pa told me they were both 'satis- fied with the trade, and Pa said he traded so that the horse “didn’t stan’ him nothin’,” and he thought in a few weeks he might make a pretty good trade with him, The horss was 20 years old, more or less; his face was white with age, and he was lame. He looked as if he hadn’t eaten a square meal in years. In a few days John came running in all out of breath and ‘said that the new minister wanted to buy a horse. I told him I hoped he wouldn’t thinik of selling the minister a horse, for we knew, to use his own words, that he was a poor judge of horseflesh; and I have noticed that horse trading is usually run differently than other linzs of business. Pa and John shined and doctored their horse and one day after we had him about a week they brought their nag out for me to look at. He was fat, sleek, high life, his white face was a beautiful bay, and he wasn’t lame. After dinner Pa asked 'me how long since I had called on the ministers wife. I said not for a long time. He said it was such a nice day he thought I might like to call, and if 1 would we could drive over. Now Pa isn't much on church and the like, although when I go to meet- ing he drives me over and comes after They said those me: so naturally T was much pleased, thinking he had turned over a new leaf. We dressed up and drove over. They were delighted to see us and wanted | us to come right in, but Pa thought he would rather stay outside and look around.

ROENA WRXTES OF HOME. | Dear Editor and Sisters of the So- cial Corner: We have had some beau- tiful letters on home, and I cannot re- frain from writing a few words on the subject that lles very near my own heart. 3 Home; it is a charming word. We see in that word the suggestion of| boyhood and girlhood days, and the: shadow of tender sorrows. and the| reflection of ten thousand fond mem- | ories. Home, home. Sweet, sweet home. ‘ Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home.” Dear M. Luella, your last letter made me feel very sad, for it brought to vividly to my mind “Our unbroken and happy home,” but what a change a few short vears have made. Hus- band and father gone, children'mar- ried—and I am left alone. And when I tell vou that in the last four years it has been my sad duty to break up not only my own home, but the home where my mother went a yvoing and happy bride, my childhood home. And, being of a home loving nature, you heart. I has almost broken my so glad that I have a title to that home not made witn hands, eternal in the skies: and when I write again (if I ever do) it will be from another place, not from the one I have “called’ home” for the last two years. “Oh, may we all, in that last great day, When we reach that bright Home, so Hear saying the words “Well done,’ In the mansions prepared over ther The kind words of our editor, the cheering letters of Xhe. dear E will greet me each week in my home,” to cheer and comfort me, for I shali paper each week.

Editor Social Corner: In answer to Perplexed, I will give my experi- ence in keeping house for four in family on seven dollars and fifty cents a week. 1 was young, strong and not afraid of work. I could sew very nice- ly, so managed to do all that had to be done in that line at home and a little for outsiders. I was up against a problem as to know to keep out of debt and still keep my family look- ing respectable. It required some hard work, as my | husband always gave me all his earn- ings, which you will think was not a fortune, to use to the best of my abil- ity . I can tell you that many a night I lay down with a heavy heart; but it was up to me to work it out and bring up my two children in an up- right, honest wa; ‘With my husband's position we got free milk and plenty of it; also gar- den truck at first cost. We had very little meat on our table. A nice, lean piece of fresh lamb with plentvy of onions and potatoes, and dumplings, made a cheap dinner for one day, with the remaining w.ot, which I put through the meat chop- per with a little stale bread crumbs we had meat patties for breakfast. Another day I would get round steak. which is @ll good, solid meat, make a nice crust and lay my meat in and roll it up like a jelly cake, aifter ceasoning it nicely, and steam it in the oven for a couple of hours.

I could catch a few words occasionally, such as The horse is per- fectly safe for a lady to drive, seven years old, good puller and fair driver, sound as a dollar, he is all horse—an easy keezper. After talking a little time the min- ister came in to tell us he had bought the horse at a great bargain. Both the minister and his wife were de- lighted and thanked us over and over again. On the way home I told Pa I was very sorry he had sold the horse to the minister, as the whole town would resent it, and I might get expelled from the Social Corner. All went wall for a few days, then the minister came over to say the horse was lame, and thin, and didn't go well; besides he was out in the rain and his face turned most all white. Pa was surprisad and went over to see it. He explained that he must have got injured, either in the stable or pasture, and advised him to put a blister on and give him a three months’ rest. & After a few more days the minister became worried and called a veteri- nary, who said he needed a longer. rest than three months, and would advise him to have him killed, which he did. During that time all thz -men in town had told Pa what they thought and the Social Corner Sisters had adl been to me ahout it until I suggested that we Sisters give the minister a donation party, for if we gave him money he might buy another horsa of Pa and get stung worse next time. Finally, the night for the donation came and space forbids telling what each gave, aithough I would Jike to do so. All the Sisters and Brothers were there, and the minister and his good wife fared well.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: How many of us in the long, long ago wrote in our copy books: “Many mem of. many minds, Many birds of many kinds"? How many of us keep in mind, “All sorts and conditions of men”? Now, these familiar quotations bring me to Traveler's side. The low, illit- erate negroes of whom you wrote are not a problem to me. It is the edu- cated, refined negro. The question is, or, 1 may say, the problem is, What shall we do with them? In the south, and among the class of housekeepers you speak of, there must-be some “sorry” ones; and they certainly must employ a cheap, low lot of servants. No doubt vou have said well when you state they carry home the scraps, perhaps, just what eur northern housekeepers would put into the swill pail Traveler, dorn't you know t im about as much as a cheap negro will steal—something® to eat? If those housekeepers fed them and paid them well they would not do it. About that fish story—that is what I call a “trick.” I admit negroes are tricky to a degree, but where under the sun did they get it? Wasn't “Ole Massa and Missy” tricky? It may im some cases be in the blood. Couldn't they steal, too? Only the darkey, as I stated, will steal something to eal. or some old, tr al thing, while our people will get away with a whole bank.
