Editor Soclal Corner: I was sur- prised to learn we have among the Social Corner writers * Dreamer” who knows the value of the no-break- fast . method—the advantage of ab- stinence’ in the overcoming of dis- ease. I know she also realizes the consciousness of power which comes to those who have the will to put down false appetite and the. inte]li- gence to recognize natural hunger when it comes. I have read all ‘the books mentioned by A Dreamer. I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Dewey and was the first convert the author of Perfect Health had in Norwich and one: of the very few who have made abstinence a lifc coyenant. Of course I have been warned by medical men to be careful about fast- ingor I might suddenly collapse some . - I/have always had a care and have been three weeks without food and worked every day with a loss of 26. pounds in flesh and a very little loss of strength. It is'a matter of record that a New York man fasted 45 days and o test his strength each day lifted a 50 pound dumbbell straight above his head at arm’s length and did not fail in his stunt until the £0ith day—after that he could lift the weight but could not straighten his elbow. He worked gv- ery day and. that he might be able to substantiate the facts was attend- ed by two physicians as witnesses dur- ing his whole fast. The longest fast 1 know: of was for 72 days and the patient was cured of locomotor-ataxia. - While the works oo pvzfimoxogy 20 on declaring .a per- 11"starve to death in ten days, the going without food for a much Jonger_period than. that-for the pur- Bose of resting the stomach and puri- fying the system is common both in this country, England Australia and New Zealand, More peopie die from overeating than from any other one cause—man's most persistent excesses are <charge- able to the dining table. Appedte is a _promoter of disease and a destroyer of men in many directions. Men die before their time because they will not eat sensibly and masticate their food thoroughly. , What drug can repair an impaired !tomach" Drugs antidote poisons, and in doing so check fevers, produce numbness and sleep, stimulate the cir- culation and increase the temperature overcoming a chilly or morbid condi- tion of the physical system. Used cor- rectly they are a great relief—used’ carelessly an-actual-peril. Nature re- stores all physical impairments when given a chance. I have written much more than I expected to on this subject, but have no_ desire to continue, Hoping someone will be helped by their own power of self-denial, I close. THE CRANK. UNITED MENTA‘L ENDEAVOR. Dear Sisters Df the Social Corner: I presume you all have noticed the president has asked the Christian peo- ple of America to unite on Oct. 4th in prayer for peace, and many professed- ly pious people may be asking them- selves what good that will do? That depends wholly upon the spirit of the petitioners. Prayer without faith ‘is ‘worthless. First of all the president’s call for a national petition:to the Father of us all shows his faith in its power. for he would not call for a devotional ser- vice of this kind if he did not believe it woulg have a good and telling effect, Why should we not all have firm faith that this nation’s prayers will. Abraham Lincoln, who was as de- vout a president as this nationsis ever likely to know, said is the midst of one of the most regrettable con- flicts this nation has ever known: “I have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming con- viction that I had nowhere else to go. Ay own wisdom and that of all about me seemed insufficient for the day.” It has been often proven those who 2o in faith to prayer do not wait long for occasion to praise, James Russell Lowell, looking out upon this world of selfishness and greed foung occasion to say “Onl God is to be had for the asking;” but His power is also freely manifested for those who ask believing. There is a Russian proverb which says: “What men usually ask for when they pray to God is, that two and two may not make four.” This is not the way to pray. The key to all prayer at all times is ::Thy will not mine, be done,” and it is because this is for- gotten that prayer is ineffective. If the people of this nation on Octo- ber 4th pray unitedly and believing that peace may be restored to the na- tions, and that” the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man be restored a positive effect is to be ex- pected. OLD SOL. SEASONABLE TESTED RECIPES. Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: Good things to eat are interesting if they are not always new. I am sending a few timely recipes for I feel certain someone will find them useful: When making Griddle Cakes, beat the white and. yolk of the eggs sep- arately, add the yolk to the milk.and flour and just before cocking mour the mixture onto the beaten white, stirring -all_the time. This will insure the cakes being. light. When you have potatoss#lett over from a meal, do not peel, as a cold potato keeps better with jacket on. If peeled it dries on outside and has to be trimmed before using, and that is wasteful. Also an economical way to prepare mashed potatoes is to boil in jackets, peel and then mash. Coffee Custard—Put 1-2 cup ground coffee in a small muslin bag and place it in a double boiler containing four cups of cold milk, let stand half an hour, then heat to the boiling point and cook five minutes. Remove the bag and pour the hot milk over four beaten eggs and four heaping table- spoons of sugar. . Pour into small cus- tard cups and set in a pan of hot water in the oven and bake until firm. Serve cold. Hamburg Rolls—Two pounds of hamburg steak, one-half pound pork sausage two cups bread or cracker crumbs soaked and squeezed-dry. Mix all together thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper. Put onme can of strained tomatoes, into which has been sliced one large onion, in a baking pan. Roll meat out in small cakes, place in tomatoes and onions, and bake in a moderate oven forty min- utes. Try the Hamburg rolls! HANNAH WHO. ‘Willimantic. NATIVE HERBS AND THEIR USES. -~ Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis- ters: One of the Sisters was asking for names and uses of our native wild plants, shrubs and herbs. I will men- tion a few of those with which I am familiar. I will call them by their names as they were called in “ye olden times. Sweet Fern—A small bush. 'l'he berries steeped make an excellent rem- edy for sore mouth and throat. / Hardhack — Often seen growing by the roadside, is used in fever and for night sweating. The common fleld daisy is also used for the same pur- Red Clover Blossoms are a great blood medicine. Indian Posey and Catnip are used to break up a fever. . Burdock L. are a sure remedy for acute pains in. any part of the body. With them apply as hot as pos- sible, and if the case is very severe sprinkle them wita new rum, changing them every 20 minutes. I once cured a bac case of pleurisy that way . Walnut Leaves and Yellow Oak Bark steeped together make a fine gargle for a canker sore mouth. Wild_Cherri and Rum make one of the best remedies for summer com- plaint. Put them in a bottle and fill it up with rum; let stand a few days and it is ready for business. The Bark of the Cherry Tree, in cider brandy, is good for’ chills and fever and rheumatiem. Wild Plantain Leaves bruised and bound on a sore or bruise will relieve pain and soreness. Thoroughwort is a strong purgative and is used to cleanse the system of impurities. Hops are one of the best known remedies for the nerves. Make a tea of them and drink on retiring. They are perfectly harmless. Sumach Buds are used for diph- thretic sore throat. A Bottle of Tiger Lily - Blossoms in rum should be kept in every home, for it is a sure remedy for wounds and sores of all kinds. Extract of Wintergreen is a fine remedy for the kidneys. If you can get the herb and extract it yourself you get the sure thing. The oil 1s recommended for rheumatism. Sage is excellent in colds, and if taken hot on retiring will sometimes break up a cold. The Inner Bark of the SllPPary Elm is a' fine thing for colds, sore throats and coughs. Mullein Leaves, steeped, strain and add as much molasses as you have syrup; boil until thick as molasses. This has been known to cure a grippe cough when all other remedies failed. You can flavor it if you like. Lavender is used as a nervine. Of course, everybody. knows the sap drawn from our native sugar maple trees makes our sugar and Syrup we enjoy so much on our cakes in winter Elderberries make good wine, and a tea made of the flowers is good to cool the blood after being overheated. Hoping the Sisters may find some- thing interesling and useful in this letter, I will say good bye, Wit.h good wishes for all. ALK THE LAUNDERING OF UNDER- WEAR, Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: Here are a few hints on the launder- ing of underwear: The cheapest and the most expen- sive underwear are alike in one point— both may be ruined by improper laun- dering. Although - different materials require different methods of washing, there is one general rule that applies to all—underwear should be washed by_itself, never with the general wash. For this there are two reasons: Tne possibility of too strong suds, which may contain washing powder, etc., and the likelihood of the washing and rinsing waters varying too much in teroperature. The first will eat into the fabric, even to the sewing threads; the second will shrivel the woolen wear as a desert sun will vegetation. For each variety it is safest to prepare the suds first, never applying the soap di- rectly to the fabric. For silk and wool the washboard should be dispensed with. Pull and stretch. each garment into shape be- tween the hands, and boil or scald nothing unless the cotton in rare cases. Woolen Underwear — Dissolve one large cake-of a mill non-alkaline soap in four gallons of soft water, and when slightly more than lukewarm wash the garments by squeezing between the hands. Have ready clear water of the same temperature, in which Tinse out immediately, never allowing the gar- ments to lie and soak. Pass twice through the wringer, pull into shape and hang, zlways by the shoulders, in a warm room in winter or out of doors if dry and warm. Never permit woolen. wear to freeze, neither hang too close to the fire so that they steam, as this invariably causes shrinkage and hard- ening of the fibres. Silk Underwear—Make a suds of cool water and napthe soap and for whife silk add a few drops of laundry bluing. ‘Wash between the hands and rinse very thoroughly in well blued water of the same temperature. Cold water and plenty of blueing will prevent the yel- lowing of white silk, preserving the clear white luster indefinitely. A water that would be too blue for table linen will be just right for silk, though it may look as though ruined while wet. Pull into shape, hang by the shoulders ang press with a warm (not hot) iron while slightly damp. Mercerized and Cotton Underwear— Have ready a hot suds of any non- alkaline soap, using, if desired, from three to five tablespoons of liquid am- monia to assist in removing perspira- tion stains. Rub lightly on wasbboard, rinse in warm, slightly blued water, stretch and hang by shoulders to dry, preferably out of doors. Enid: I am much surprised to find out who you are. Have seen you many times, but not very recently. CRIMSON RAMSUER, The Mortgage Was Paid By Diana - In this life of strife, amidst hurry- skurry and the many ills that fall to the lot of mankind, we sometimes for- get that God moves 'in a mysterious way. We also fail to realize that “God can bring good cut of evil” be- cause we do not understand the work- ings of Divine Providence. There are many people who have lived, and who_are living today, who seemingly have been through - fiery ordeals; whose faith remains resolute and determined. Mr. and Mrs. Grayson's -faith in God was firm and even wonderful, for they had been surrounded by many troubles, and their hearts wrung with pangs of sorrow; yet, their faith re- mained strong and sincere. During the early part of their mar- ried life, through dint of struggle, self- denial and hard labor they prospered and amassed a small forturne. After this, one trouble followed another. . Eric’s and Madeline’'s, the son-and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Grayson, wishes were granted almost 'as soon as ‘they were expressed. They were supplied with pin-money, and maybe their tastes were a bit extravagant; but they were not selfish, for they were always ready to help the needy by contributing not only money, but gave much time to the settiement work in their city. Eric as a child loved to argue, and as he grew older this tendency en- abled him almost always to convince others that he held the right view of the question under discussion. His parents were not surprised when he chose law, for his profession, . and they gladly aided him in obtaining his education. G . Madeline loved music. so she Wwas given a musical education. They de- veloped into a true tvpe of what man- hood and womanhoos should . be. They were good; mented and accom- plished. Their : influence, over those with whom they came in contact, was for good. Yet in the prime of life, just before being admitted to the bar, while on a pleasure trip Eric was drowned. Cramps seized him when in swimming, and before .his comrades could reach him he sank never . to rise again. His body was _taken home, where his father, mothér and sister ‘overcome with grief prayved daily for grace to sustain them. Two years later during the panic of 1309 by injudicious investments. Mr. Grayson met with large losses in his business. A short time afterwards, tho he had many assets and no liabilities, his creditors became im- patient -for their money and he was put into the hands of an unscrupulous receiver, who squandered and wasted the accumulations of a life-time of work and sacrifice, and at the age of sixty, when business men are think- ing of retiring, he was practically penniless. Mr. Grayson obtained. work from those, who, a few Years before, were in less comfortable circumstances than himsel! Madeline wished to discontinue her| studies and seek such employment a; would enable her to aid ler parcnts. They disapproved of this plan, for they feit that if she could continue her education she would be better able to help them than now; and to achieve this, they were strong to deny untiring energy Mr. Grayson started in business again in a small way. After which, he bought a small place! in the suburbs, on the installment plan, and the former owner became the mortgagee. “They removed to their new home the furnishings they had been permit- ted to retain from their more elab- orate home. To these they added what was necessary to make them comfortable. and_although .they lived a somewhat retired life they were happy. Madeline, after her graduation be- cause of her great musical ability and her gift of imparting her knowledge to others, was elected to fill the va- cancy of the musical director in the college. Her parents felt relieved, for the mortgagea wanted his money; and owing to the lack of capital Mr. Gray- son had conducted his business under great difficulties, and had only been able to pay the interest on the mort- gage each. year. With Madeline's help they hoped in a few years to own a home again free from debt, where they would spend their old age In ease and comfort unencumbered by respon- sibilities and cares. Ala.s' “Man proposes but God dis- poses” A week before ‘commencing her duties at W. college Madeline was injured internally in an automobile accident, and after three weeks of acute suffering, she entered into the eternaj rest. The aged couple broken down with grief, Ktill from their hearts said “Father thy will not our be done.” Mrs. Grayson feil sick, not because she rebeiled against her Father's will, or feared for the future, but because her nervous system already over- strained by sorrow and worries could bear no more so she collapsed. The mortgagee, realizing Mr. Gray- s.’'s inability to continue his busi- ness and to continue to pay, the in- terest, after refraining for a fime be- cause of what people would say, placed the mortgage in his lawyer's hands with orders to foreclose at ce. °"jIr. Grayson’s nelghbors and friends would gladly have helped him, ~but they had their own families and homes to provide for, and the money they could spare_ was. mot enough to free the property from debt. After a month had expired, the lawver asked his client to come to his office. He then told the mortgagee that he was not willing to press the claim against Mr. Grayson, and.he must withdraw it, or get another lawyer to take the case. His client repliéd: “Why? Don't you think there is any money in it?” “A little, but it would come from the sale of the house the man now occu- ef and T will not have a hand in seiling it.” “Got frightened, eh, eh?” “No, sir.” “I suppose the old man begged hard to be let off” “He certainly did “You have lost your grit® “Yes.” 'hat in the world did you do?” a bit, I believe.” “The old man pleaded hard with vou. you say? “No, I did not say so; for we aid not speak to each other.” “Wel] man, to whom then did you hear him plead?” “Our Heavenly Father” The lawyer continued, son prayed, but not_for my b for he did not know I was present, or that you intended to enforce the law at once. I went as you directed to the house end knocked. no heard me, and as the door stood open I entered the small hall, and from my posi- tion 1 lodked into a pleasant and pretty sitting room. where close to the - bay-window stcod a single bed, on which a silver haired old lady lay. I raised my hand te knock again, just as an old white haired man knelt at his wife's side. He began to plead with our Father above. My hand dropped to my side and I was speech- Jess when I realized that man’s faith in_God. He seemed to ha ms =ih ek themselves. By much self-denial .and} e said mother and he were still sub- missive children, and that they would never rebel against His will. He ad« mitted it would be hard for them to be homeless in their old age, and that he realized that if only one of the children had lived, things would now be different.” Here he broke down, and I could see Mrs. Grayson’s almost, transparent hand move slowly over his snowy hair. He regained his voice, and ldd. “that nothing could ever hurt again as the parting with his.son and daughter, unless mother and he should te separated.” The thought seemed to comfort him, that the Lord knew it was not mother’s and his fault, that their home was to be taken from them, which meant beggery and (he alms- house.” A place—he - prayed if con- sistent to the Lord's will, he hoped to be delivered from. He then quoted promise. after prom- ise concerning the safety of those who trust in the Lord. ‘I never heard such an earnest plea before. 'At .the last he prayed God to bless those ¥ were about to enforce the law: he lawyer- added: “I—I—believe I had rather g0 to the poorhouse myself, than to help to send that man and mother there. The client sneered, “Afraid the old ml:lh’_’s prayer will not be answered, ch? Vhy man alive!™ replied the -Jawyer, “You could prayer.” He left he only pleaded thus, Bible had taught him that all desires should be made known to our Heaven- ly Father. That moved.me the most of all for that was what my own mother taught me. Why, I'should be the one, to hear that prayer 1 don’t know—but I now give up the case.” The clent replied, “I wish you had not told me about that old man’s rrayer.” “Why so? “Well, because T want the money the place will bring, but I too, was taught from the Bible when I was a boy, and I can't go against my moth- er's’ teachings; but I wish you had not heard -the prayer, and another time, do close your ears against pe- titions not meant for you to hear. The lawyer laughed and-said: “My dear man.youre wreng agall meant that prayer for my ears to hear, and yours also. This instance brings to my mind a song my mother used to sing, “God moves in a mysterious way. The client replied, “T remember my mother used’'to sing it, too.” -After a few moments spent in deep thought he tore the mortgage into bits and said: “If you will I wish you would call in the mornihg and" tell mother an(}’ him that the mortgage has been pai n a mysterious way,” laughingly added the lewyer, as he clasped his client’s, hand as he was preparing to leave the office.

Dear Social Corner Friends: T have noticed that several have asked that we write more for the mind and less for the stomach. The Man Who Talks surely gives us plenty ‘of food for re- flec jon in his excellent department. iways find something to think about in that column and have been greatly benefited thereb: The Law of Prosperity—This is the law of prosperity, when apparent ad- versity comes be not cast down by it, but make the best of it and always look forwarg for better things for conditions more prosperous. To hold yourself in this attitude of mind'is to set into operation subtle silent and irresistible forces that sooner or later will actualize in material form .that which today is merely an idea. Never give a moment to complaint, but utilize the time that" would be spent in this way in looking forward and actualizing the conditions you de- sire. Suggest prosperity to yourself. See vourself in a prosperous condition. Afirm that you will, before long, be in a prosperous condition. Afiirm it calmly and quietly but strorgly and confidently. Believe it absolutely. Ex- pect it. Keep it continually watered with expectation. You thus make your- self a magnet to attract the things you ' desire. Don’'t be afrald to suggest, to af- firm these things, for ®y =o doing you put forth an ideal which will begin to clothe itself in material form. In this way you are utilizing agents. among the most subtle and powerful in the univer If you are partioularly desirous for anyihing that you feel is good and right for you to have, something that Wwill increase vour usefulness to others, Simpiy hold the thought that at the ight ti; in the right way and through the right instrumentality there will come to you, or there will open up for you, the way, whereby you can attain what you desire. 1 you've got to do is to know things are right, because they are right. Everything is coming along fine and you just feel it coming. Do not s “It can’t be done,” That is setting limits to God's mercy and saying He can't possibly do as He pleases.

After ‘being ‘disappointed in being able to attend Aunty No. 1's lawn party I hoped I could go to Aunt Ab- God | b¥’s or to the fair, but just before the lawn party I was whirled away to. St. Joseph’s ' hospital, Providence, and on- ly came home a few days before the fair, and then had to spend several days in bed resting from the home trip. I like many others, had dreaded the |’ hospital where 1 had been told every: thing was machine work and you had Just the care that you must have. Perhaps that is the case in some places, but where I was doctor, nurses and sisters worked day and nlxht tor the comfort of the sick. . Just before I “went to s\up" the Sister Superior bent over me and said, “I shall pray for you all the time you are under ether.” Some things were very sad. One old lady who had had her arm taken off at the shoulder was happy because it was her left arm and she could work with her right. - One woman acted like a cross be- tween a spoiled child and a mad.deg because she had to be covered with a blanket and could not drink water every minute while she was recover- ing from the ether and came necdr killing herself, and made every one near her uncomfortable; but I found most, of the patients very pleasant.

AUNT ESTHER WOULD BUT COULDN'T Editor of Social Corner and Sisters —When I was in the Bulletin tent at the Norwich fair Tuesday I did not see the registration book. There was nothing on. the table but Monday's Bulletin. I -told Sally Sagamore that if we|J: registered we would have to write our names on the tabble. I _cannot see how we overlooked, it wife is first, lmpllclt u.m: l.lld '-fllll in the Saviour and then love and good common sense to teach her to fully perform her pu't of the vows made at the marriage altar. If a wife has a heart filled with love to God and trusts in Him to help her in the every day duties of life and asks Him daily to bless her husband with all needed blessings as every devoted wife will do, she will not have much cause for complaint methinks. “Every woman needs a certain amount of confidence in herself, but too much spunk, as Sarah Ann calls and -confidence would have happy home. WAYS OF SERVING CANNED FISH Dear Social Corner Sister—How. many of you have tried the following ways of using canned fish Creamed Fish Flakes on Toast— Melt two tablespoons of butter, mix with it two tablespoons of flour and a quarter of a teaspoon of pepper, add a cup of milk and stir until boiling. Add a can of fish flakes, cover and let stand until thickened. Turn upon slices of toast buttered and softened at the edges with boiling water. The beaten yolk of an egg may be added before turning on the toast if liked; or egg may.be poached and placed around. Canned Lobster Cutlets—Drain the liquid from one can of lobster, and form the meat into little balls of equal size. Roll each of the balls first into the beaten egg, then in sifted cracker crumbs, then in the egg again, fin- ishing with a coating of crumbs. Set the coated balls in a cool place for an hour, then fry brown in boiling fat. Make a tartar sauce of the yolks of two eggs beaten with a teaspoon of sugar a shake of cayenne, and a pinch of salt. Beat this smooth, then 2dd’ one-half cupful of salad oil with constant beating, the juice of half a lemon, a shake of onion salt, if the flavor is liked, and a tablespoon of chopped capers. Pile the fried lob- ster in the center of a large platter, and decorate to suit the fancy if the server. Fricaseed Shrimp—For one pint can of shrimp, make a sauce of two table- spoons of - butter, two, tablespoons of flour, a pinch of salt, a shake or two Eais hlnk iwould like to hear of the benefits we get thro” bdn ya.uer nhbonm -t here’ our tonnne- run some.
