How fine it is at night to sav: “I have not wronged a soul today. I have not by a word or deed In any breast sowed anger's seed, Or caused a fellow-being pain; Nor is there on my crest a stain That shame has left. 1 With head erect, I've lived this day.” ‘When night slips down and day de- parts And rest returns to weary hearts How fine it is to close the book Of records for the day.

Yet cold and stern a man may be Retaining his integrity: ‘And he may pass from day to day A spirit dead, in living clay Observing strictly moral laws, Yet serving but a selfish cause So it is not enough to say: “I have not stooped to shame today!"

Dear Social Corner Sisters: I want to tell every one who -is careless in their way of carrying their body that when you aliow your shoulders to draw forward you are crowding your lungs into a space smaller than they can stand and keep healthy? What causes all the lung trouble now days? Are “you not to blame? Straighten those shoulders and keep them so. Then practice deep breathing for a month or two or even three, and I'm sure you can see you have been bene- fitted by doing. Do not breath through the mouth. Be sure to keep it shut all the time. If you have sunken cheeks, draw long breaths in through nose, then fill the cheeks full of wind like you use to do when a child and iet out very slow- Iy through the mouth with the lips making a very small opening for doing so. If this is practiced often during the day. the cheeks wlill fill out after a long while. Like curing the lungs, it is slow work. but sure if persevered n. Another bad habit which brings on stomach and constipation is that of allowing the body to drop down in any old way until the first thing you know the stomach is protruding in front like a bag of spoiled . cheese; your dresses fail to fit nice and your form is il shaped, some kind or an- other ailment has set up anl the doc- tor must prescribe. Sometimes he cures, sometimes he kills. Just so sure as you disobey one of nature's laws, “just as sure you will have to pay the bill. Don’t say you can not do these things. just get busy and do them. What has been, ca be, and T am one of the “has bee: kind, and know just what T am writ- ing about. T have practiced more than this, too, and from what once looked like an old woman of 60, I am now looking less than 50, although I'll ad- mit it took a lot of grit and patlence on my part. When you get a bad cold, begin deep breathing at once in fresh air. if pos- sible: and don’t quit till the cold is under_control, and see how you come I the nose stops up guring the {cold deep breathing will relieve it if persisted in in a short time, accord- ing to hew severe tke cold is.

A GOOD TIME FOR FARM TOPICS Dear Cornerites: T have read the many articles, on different subjects in the weekly papers and noticed you do not write much on agricultural toplcs. Now that spring is on_this subject. Many of us live on farms, and are, or should be interested in farm wel- fare, for it is a noble occupation. Now, when the prices are so_high, is the time for the farmer to do his best, for people must eat and they look to the farmer for substance. So I think we all should try and make this farmer. a banner year for the Many people think there is no mon- but they are mistaken. ey in It the es do Iook so the farm is more so, for it is more I wish others of The Cor- healthful. here with all its beauty and labor, for the majority of people on a farm. I think we all must have some interesting things to write like the kindly spirit which seems to parmeate The Corner. Let us not be too critical of others—too quick to Jjudge those whose acts and motives ‘Wwe may entirely misunderstand. I like these lines from Whittier: “For still in mutual sufferance lles The secret of true living.” WANTED—A GERMAN MUSTARD RECIPE. 1 Dear Sociat Corner Sisters: What an enjovable time we all had at the seventh anniversary of the Social Cor- ner. The Sisters are certainly a jolly crowd. Much credit is due to the committee in charge. The decorations were very attractive and the bounteous lunch was “fit for a king.” Would some Sister who has a good German mustard recipe kindly send it in? FOXY. OUR COMMON WEEDS. Dear Social Corner Sisters: Here are two more useful wild weeds: Boneset—In fevers and ague nothing is more efficacious than boneset; it should-be taken as a warm tea after having first administered an emetic. This herb cannot be too highly val- ued as a medicine. It is a tonic; when taken in large doses an emetic, siightly cathartic, and promotes free perspira- tion. It is very useful in bilious fevers, taken as directed in fever and ague; if taken as a cold infusien three or four times a day, a half teacup at a dose, it will cure dyspepsia and tone up the system. Plantain — Even the common plan- tain, which is to be found in all grass plots, contains in its leaves, stem and seeds great curative powers. The green seeds and seed stems bruised and boil- ed in eweet milk is a most effective remedy for the bowel complaints of children, and may be used freely In inveterate sk:n diseases a de- coction of the root is highly recom- ‘mended. The juice of the fresh leaves taken in doses of a teaspoon every hour and }from injuries ' received nearly months ago, which may remain so for I have erjoyed The Corner let- very much. I wish to thank Interested Reader for lovely calendar; aiso, Ethelyn and Imogene Graff for birthday present sent by a other Sisters who sent birthday and anniversary cards. prised and pleased when I read him anniversary cards and said at the same time the bruised leaves applied to the wound will, it is said, cure snake bite: also the bite of epiders and other poisonous insects. The bruised leaves stewed in mutton suet make a good ointment for sores. MADGE. RICE COOKED AS A VEGETABLE. Southern Way—One cup of rice, three cups bolling -water and one tea- spoon of salt; place in oven and bake three hours; then remove, place under faucet of cold water, and let the cold water run over it (this process will make the rice separate): just shake the rice so the cold water will pass through: return to. its former dish, heat up and serve. Scalloped Rice—One cup uncooked rice and four potatoes: a layer of rice and a layer of potatoes, one teaspoon of salt and three cups boiling water; bake one hour.& A few slices of bacon placed on the top make a nice way to serve. Red Rice—(The first recipe for cook- ing the rice) then open a can of tomato and heat up rice in tomato, butter, salt and pepper. Rice Omelet—Three egszs, three ta- blespoons of boiling water and three slices .of bacor cut the bacon in small slices; beat up thee eggs, add rice, salt, pepper, water and bacon; fry in omelet pan. Hop-in-John—Two cups of cooked rice, one and onme-half cups of baked beans, one-half cup of canned corn: heat together with butter, salt and pep- per and serve hot. These are ali southern dishes. TMOGENE. HEZ'S FATHER-IN-LAW. Dear Social Corner Editor: For a while my father-in-law took to me, =0 T concluded he loved me about as well as he did Hope. When he felt sure I was tame and he had my confidence he said one da: “Hez, lend me $25, will ye? I was just as glad to let him have that $25 as I was to be married; but Hope smiled and said “T ought to know better how to invest my money.” Well, sir, time went on and prom- ises got =o old and smiles so scarce that I copcluded that $25 was a case of hidden hope. At last I said: “Pop (that was what Hope always called him), you never expect to pay me that money, do you?” He gave me the most intelligent look he cver sent my way, and he says: “You understand character, Hez: you're correct at reading signs. T don't! A good son-in-law should always be generous "to his father-in-law. D will Toy to m HBZ HARMONDY. ROOM FOR ONE MORE. Dear, Social Corner Friends: Is there room for one more?

A WAYS TO SERVE RA V.- . with Rice—Wash and joint bbit and cook In a kettle as you cook a pot roast of beef. Melt in a kettie a tablespoon of hutter and when quite hot add the pieces of rabbit and keep turning constantly until they are sauted with the butter; then add a 2 of “finely minced bacon and allow to brown with the rabbit 2dd a seasoning of salt and pepper and two cups of bolling water. Let the | 1 rabbit cook very siowly until anite|you and tender and quite dry. When ready to serve, heat a deep platter and place around it a border of rice: heap the rabbit in the center of the dish: make a gravy from the stock in which it ‘was cooked and pour it over the rab- bit and serve it Immediately. Another Excellent Way to cook rab- bit is: Joint the rabbit, place in a dripping pan, no two pleces overlap- ping, and.season with salt and pepper: pour over two cups of cream: bake slowly at first, covered; later uncover- ed, to allow it to brown. This is de- licious. Patchwork would afford a nice pastime at one of your soetal gatherings or in your leisure moments and might, by chance, take a prize at the fair if exhibited there. or embroidery would exhibit it at the fair. Patchwork itself now has every charm. In colonial | ). o aays the blocks wero sewed together by making tiny over- | gravy and-over stitches. However, there is a more simple Way | meat 1 for by running the seams neatly you can make the move much more rapidly. Many pleasant memories are awakened in using rem- nants of almost forgotten -dresses, bits of which survive in the plece-bag in the attic. Planning a quilt of such ma- terial requires patience and an understanding of color har- mony, but with care, not only in building the blocks, but ' in putting them in place, you can make a pretty quilt. A busy girl who cannot make her mother an entire quilt, can put a blue and white, or red and white border on a quilt with a white center, and get pleasing results with very little labor. The simple patterns are the prettiest, generally speak- ing, and in patehwork there is no danger of raonotony. Plan the entire quilt before you make the first block. Decide upon the size of the quilt and of each block, and upon the pattern, and the color. Cut the patterns for the single pleces, and allow for the seams, as in any pattern. Make the pattern of cardboard, and be absolutely accurate. Pin together the pieces for each block as soon as cut. If the plan includes a number of rows of blocks of different colors, a plainly marked diagram with the rows and the { dominant color in each row will prove helpful. For con- venience in handling, make all the blocks, at least for each row, before putting them together. If the quilt is to be of silk pieces, it is easier—in order to keep the blocks true— to line each block with lightweight paper. If the blocks are to be used for pillow tops, be sure to use the paper. Pillow-tops or quilts, of two, or at most, three colors are especially pretty. Two or three shades of blue or deep blue and white make good combinations. Little covers for the baby’s bed in pink and white and blue and white, lined with ¥~ht-weight white, are attractive and desirable. The best of success fo those who try this and I hope some of the sisters will report their luck. MOUNTAIN LAUREL. things as THE HIGH COST OF LIVING. Dear Social Corner Sisters: Noodles of all kinds are tender and delicious, though not so much used in the way ure and perform. Cornmeal is another starchy food, equivalent to potato in great vogue as a vegetable all through the south corn- meal and rice is used daily. 1 am writing about vegetables now that cannot be quickly prepared. Peas, string beans and spinach, no matter how delicious, cannot be prepared on a busy day uniess you have them can- ned. Then ybu can make pea soup out of half the can; with leftover cer- eal and you can take the other half of can and scallop or make pea omelet, or make an Italian salad. Lentils, soaked over night and boil- ed for an hour slightly salted, are zood, nutritious and cheap. Serve the lentils with butter, salt and pepper, and save the water in which they are cooked for an appetizing soup some other day. ETHELYN. A THING OF THE PAST. Social Corner Editor: I have in- dulged in wasting time cardplaying and know how true Aunt Mary's words were. After reading her letter I send to Mrs. one evening: “Have we any cards in the house “Three packs,” said she. “When did we play last?” said I, “do you remember?” “I do not,” she replied, “it is many years since.” “All ‘of twenty-five,” said I.
