The life that counts must toil and| fight; Must hate the wrong and love the right; Must stand for truth by day and night; This is the life that counts. The life that counts must aim to rise Above the earth to sunlit skies: Must fix its gaze on Paradise— That is the life that counts. The life that counts must helpful be; In darkest night make melody; Must wait the dawn on bended knee— This is the life. that counts. The life that counts must heipful be, The cares and needs of others see; Must seek the slave of sin to free- Taat is the life that counts. —By Christian Cynosure. A Recipe for Sanity.

Sisters of the Social Corner: In these days, when the best of peaches may be bought In cans, we may have re: treats out of seaso I am sending in a few dellcious thin we may indulge in now: Peaches are a welcome addition to boiled rice. To prepare them togethe boil a cupful of ri drain it and put Arrange the hs around it and chill mtil £ ¢ on is tender; puffing dish, aned peache he ice. Serve t ge | feeling | 1t with the julce of the peaches pour- ed around it and a little whipped cream, flavored slightly with nutmes, and slightly sweetened, topping it. Peach Snow.—Beat a cupful df cream until it s stiff and add half a cupful of sugar and two egg Whites beaten stiff. Drain a quart of peaches in a glass dish and pour the cream mixture over them. The peaches and the cream should both be chilled through before mixing. Serve them as soon as they are mixed. A Delicious Peach Pie.—Line a pie- plate with rich paste and put a sheet of waxed paper over the lining. Fill it with dried beans and bake until the crust is a light brown. The weight of the beans keeps the crust from puff- ing up as it bakes. When the crust is cool fill it with canned peaches drained in a wire sieve for half an hour. Cover them with a cupful of cream, sweetened to taste and beaten Stiff, Peach Sponge—Strain a quart of canned peaches and put them through the vegetable ricer. Mix them with their own juice. In the meantime soak an ounce of gelatine in a cupful of cream and when it is soft put it in a double boiler until it is dissolved. Re- move from the fire and mix with the fruit when nearly cold. Add the whites of three eggs, beaten stiff, and pile in a glass dish. Serve cold. Steamed Peach Pudding is made by putting three cupfuls of drained can- ned peaches in a buttered pudding dish and steaming them for an hour with the following batter poured over them: Mix a pint of flour, sifted with a large teaspoonful of baking powder and half a teaspoonful of salt, with a table- spoonful of butter. Gradually add a cupful of milk and blend it thorbughly with the dry ingredients. Be careful not to let the water under the mold stop bolling. Serve with any good pudding sauce. The peach syrup can be heated and thickened with a little cornstarch, rubbed smooth in cold syrup, for a simple but good sauce. T think these will do as a surprise to company. MARGETTA. A FEW GOOD THINGS TO REMEM- BER. Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: I notice in my household scrapbook a few things it is well to know as a mat- ter of economy or emergency. Have vou thought Cheap Icebags can be had during an illness by getting a coupl butcher’s shop. cents and serve the same purpose as the costlier rubber kind. Gas Mantles occasionally get discol ored, giving a bad light. two of fine salt is sprinkled over ths mantles when alight the trouble will good as new. This sav of getting new mantles. s the expense | Social | Bebanon in Go: and yet out of it is to take an old hair with a strong frame and make a frame and make strong bag to reach nearly to the floor with the open end tacked all around inside the empty seat-rim; around the outside of the seat tack a pleated cur- tain of satteen, or cretonne, reaching to the floor to hide entirely the inney bag; get a thin board for the seat pad it with excelsior or cotton, then cover with goods to match the cur- ltains. The seat should, of course, be made to lift ug e a box top and should be put on wi a hinge A tidy or cu n of the satteen coul be made for the back and tied to it with ribbon to match. The bag should be made of strong material if is to hold shoes Potatoes, particularly after they have “passed - first youth” are much n if d and laid in cold ‘water over night; not only re the potatoes improved, 1 time saved | in preparing the meal.

This is an excellent way, for the mincemeat keeps much longer, and no hard cake forms on top, which often appears when the lemon is used in the raw state. A good idea for the amateur cook is An Alarm Clock. Burning is usually the curse of her cooking existence. She puts a tart in the oven and in three-quarters of an hour is recalled to the oven by the smell of burned crust. To avoid this she gets the alarm clock to ring at the time the dish she is cookking ought to be done. Then, of course, she must stay within hearing of the alarm clock. If anything containing it In cold water immedi- ately and the scorched taste will prob- abl; not be apparent. If anything which is boillng scorches, pour it im- mediately into another dish. If string beans scorch, for instance, ladle them ater in which they scorched, drop them in cold water, then strain this off and put the beans in a fresh pan of boiling water. HANNAH WHO. Willimantic.
