Folks Need a Lot of Loving. ol Folks meed & lot of loving in the The day is all before, with cares The cares we knmow, and those that ‘warning; Nub':iflh' God's own antidote for i Polks need 2 lot of loving at the noon- time— In the bettls lull, the moment snatched from strife— Halt way betwsen the waking and the eroen-tims, While bickering and worriment are rife. Folks hunger so for loving at the t-time, When wearily they take them home for rest— At slumber-song, and turning out-the- time— Ot ail the times for loving, that's the best. Folks want 2 lot of loving every min- wte— The sympathy of others and their smile T e’ end, frem the moment they begin it, need 3 lot of loving all the ‘while. ——m Gillllan, in Ladies' Home it Can't Be Do HoW did the world Fet started. wan? some one , “It caw’ e done!™ - - settled 1t The troglodyte out of darkness into light, an‘t be done!” somebody said, Jo! the green flelds wave us § ‘.th that fadnt ringing in his ears Nas man gone upward through the run ‘When _some. one. said, “It done!” can't “It can't pe dome!™ they said hefore A skil put out 10 sea from shore.

Dear Social Cerner Writers: Rye mush may be cooked in boiling salted water like any other cereal. Matting that is soiled and does not respond to washing can be painted over with a coat or two of paint and 16ak as good as new. . Lumpy batter is a sore trial to"the housekeeper, but if she 'will mix the salt with-the flour before wetting' the latter, it will often prevent,the lumps from forming. Pecan nuts, as everybody knows, are ot easy to crack sa as to keep the meats even partially whole, but if boiling water is poured over the nuts and allowed to cover them for sbout twenty minutes or so you will find that the meats will not crumble ‘and wil come out in quita large pieces, . Beets, if they are red, add on tractive toucth' of eolor to the table, but if they have accidentally lost their color they are not pleasing to the exe. In"such an event, the beets may be made a brilljant red again if ‘2 little red fruit coloring is added to the vine gar, A great many persons do not bother to sift the furmace ashee. Try it and wash the cinders, whiis pieces and all. They will all burn up again. and if the “fire is bamked jwith them thers will' be 2 niee hot fire i itha morning.

Many hands make light work. The problem is solved — probably more day’s communal ‘Why is not this an excellent example for every town in New Englapd, in- cluding Boston? Yet Old Lyme has one decided ad- vantage over Boston in the respect that the town could easily cut all the fuel it needs up on Meeting House Hill without doing the woode there any injury. It would cause terrible havoc here even to attempt to supply & hundredth part of the fuel deficiency from Boston’s public woods.

I remembered how every New Year's morning, my father would open the Bible quickly, and read the first- verse his eye happened to light on; and also other times when M trouble or doubt. He said he had al- ways found something to guide and comfort him. So with a silent prayer I opened ‘the Bible, and found my verse in Joshua, 20th chapter, 6th verse: “And he shall dwell in that city, until he stand before the congre- gation for judgment, and umtil the death of the high priest, that shall be in those days, then shall the slayer return, and come unto his own city, and unto his own house, unto the city frem whence he flied.” Needless to say I felt quite reco: not have been wrade” in il Ll DIANA.
