STUFF LIFE SOCIAL CORNER POETRY. GOD FIRST, In my bed room hangs this metto, And its place is near the door, So that it may e'er remind me, God, all else must be before. Never do I cross the threshold, Than the motto seems to say, Tust a word to God thy Father, Ere thou goest on thy way. When I'm dressing in the merning, As T see it handing there, It reminds me of my duties, “Help for which I seek in prayer. Dutles, burdens. worries, troubles, All may come to me that day, How can I prepare to meet them? How I ask, except I pray? When T plan fresh undertakings, Then the motto seems o say, Don't in thy own strength begin it, First of all, ahout it pray. When I'm ready dressed for walking, Perhaps with Iittle time to spare, Still 1 cannot leave my bedroom, When 1 see the motto here. THN T kneel for just a moment, And in earnest, secret prayer, Place myselt and all _my goings, In my Heavenly Fither's care. . Nightly, too, the motto speaketh, When for rest T would prepare, Then it whispers its sweet message, First, God go and meet In prayer. Tes, “God first”” must be our motto, 1f we would succeed each day: Wish we all aur ways to prosper Then about them we must pray. Dear Friend, won't vou have this motto, Put up In your room as well? That to you its own sweet message, It may daily, hourly tell? —Sent In by SPRY BIRD. ON SATURDAY NIGHT. Sister's nervous and flustered the whole of the day.

GREETINGS FEOM CRIMSON RAM- BLER. Dear Soclal Corner Folks: Here I come for a little chat. What nice weather we are having! Balsam Fir: Has your pen become rusty again? I hope not. It must be very nice now at Orystal Lake. Rural Delivery: Your letter in last week's paper was very good. We have walted 3 long time to hear from you; but then the oid saying is a good thing is worth waiting for Salome: I have been walting to see a etter in the paper from you since you changed your name. Now you may won- der how T so readily guessed you under your new nom de plume. Sorry I did not see you the day you visited with Melba. If I have guessed rightly; you was one J our neighbors once upon a time. How about it? \Am I a Yankee at guessing? 1 think I verv often hear of you through a mutual friend. I will tell you some time when I see you how I guessed vour identity so quickly. Come see me the next time you are so near me T hear of your being up this way once in a while. Primrose: I, too, use wire clips in many of the ways you suggest. Glad to see sne of those yellow spapers fluttered out to you. Etta Barber: How many members have you in your club now?

HOW TO TEACH BABY TO WALK. Dear Sisters and Bditor: I do hope tais will not need two words to finish this letter, “Paper basket.” I would ra- ther finish it myself It there is one thing that makes me feel sorry more than enother, it is to see a little child, its legs bent in bow fashion, struggling to make its way along by its mother’s side, and what seems queer ‘o me is that mothers of such children never seem to think what a dreadful humiliation the curved legs will be in after life. The worst feature of the matter is that all this is wholly unnecessary. I want you to think, moth- ers, about this and read my letter over carefully, and see if anything I write applies to your own child. Sometimes we are the last to see our own mis- takes, At least, I have found that Lo be true in my own case. A child's bones are pot hard and: stiff like thoSe of a grown person. They are almost like stiff gelatine, or perhaps ‘T should say gristle, and it also depends deeply on strength development. A baby, when it begins to walk, should barely be allowed to' rest itself upon its feet, but it should be seen that the feet from the very first are properly placed, not half turned over or allowed to rest in an aimless way. Let the mo- ther hold the baby under the arms, firm- ly, gradually let the little feet rest on the floor. Be so careful that the child’s entire weight- does not come upon the feet at such a time, because they are not able to bear that weight as yet. - It is neglect at this point, I am told that gives the first push to what most per- sons call ‘bow-leggedness’” meaning bowed legs—crooked like a bow. Never let the baby fall while teaching it .to walk. Confidence means so much when training a child, The moment it has a fall, it immediately fears it will suffer another, and you will find this a great hindrance. 7 You might not think it but it takes as much courage proportionately for the baby to manage to walk as for the child make & detour of it from cellar to attlc, casting a. critical eye in all directions. Once a year every cellar -should be ‘whitewashed ‘to sweeten it. ‘A time to do this is at the beginning of warm weather, when vermin of all :sorts. multi- ply so rapidly and are atN\octed by dirt and dampness. All old papers, cans, ofly rags, useless articles and remains of the winter's store: of vVegetables should: be carted away. The housekeeper should take especial care to see that dampnass of any sort is checked. .(Old tins with ran- cld water in them are famous mosquito breeders.) At least. one window on each side of the cellar should be prop- ped open, for ventilation, and the window of course screened. The ice box is another important con- sideration. It must be kept sweet and clean. A saucer of - powdered charcoal shouid ‘be stood in one corner of it. - It should be seen that the drain pipe is not clogged and that no slime has been al- lowed to.collect on it ‘or'on the pan be- nearh. All plumbing should be closely in- spected. -Every housekeeper should gain a sufficient knowledge of plumbing to know . how many- traps-there are in her house and just where these traps are situated ; for, traps should be cleaned out from time to time. In.some houses the trap covers are sealed down so that they canpot . be -opened unless. a, plumber ' is called in.. This is wrong and dangerous to health. The flushing of traps and pipes often with boiling water (one of the best germ killers) is very necessary, especial- ly*in the kitchen. The kitchen sink should be treated with a hot solution of sal-soda (washing soda) and the other drain pipes in the house should be so'treated about once a month. Then there is the attic to consider, in getting the house ready for warm. weath- er. A stuffy, dusty over-crowded attic at- | tracts pests of all kinds and the true housekeeper cannot sit out on her front porch: with a- satisfied care-free mind if she knows that her attic is breeding moths, buffalo bugs, flies, mice and ger: Let us have our attics clean, well-venti- lated and clear of all except such pos- sesslons as we shall actually use in the future. Too much cannot be done in the way to do amazing.y big things when it grows up. It does mot take much to make Haby afraid, and when fear appears, confl- dence fiies away. Never try to.teach a child to walk in its bare feet or little low shoes. A child should have a good ankle support as it is too apt to turn its ankles. And mothers, if you have smdll chil- dren mever trust your baby with young- er children. Teach your bables to walk yourselves, if you can. Believe me, you will never repent it. You notice some of the women on the street with their short dresses and and bowed legs. Then think I don't wanf my girls to look like that. I don't ses anything very attractive in a bow-leg- ged woman, no matter how pretty they are.. They still have that see-saw walk which makes them look ridiculous and since they have worn these short dress- es their bow-legs have been more In evi- dence than ever, KITTY LOU. THANEFUL FOR ASSISTANCE. Dear Social Corner Sisters: I want to thank each one for their kindly assist- ance at the June dinner at Buckingham Memorial. Deborah: The ice cream was fine. A little lemon “juice added to the prunes as they are being stewed adds a delightful tang to the flavor. Best wishes to all. L J B. WATER FINE AT BEACH POND. Dear Editor and Sisters of the Cor- ner: Well, Sunny Dick, I was at Beach pond on Memorial day. As for the roads they were fair up to the last one-half mile near the pond. The water was fine for I could not resist the temptation of wading in barefooted. The fishing was fair also. But sisters of the Corner, please don't go fishing on the Rhode Isl- and side unless you are prepared by having 2 nop-resident license. Both I and the man of the house have one. Etta Barber: Where do you stray ev- ery Tuesday night? I stopped on my way three times but you were out. Remem- ber when a passed you going down the hill about 6.30 at night. T hope that Sister Hinckley is better. Sally Sycamore: How are you getting on? TFope vou are well. Are you going to the camp grounds this year? E.M R C. P. WHAT TO DO WITH REMNANTS OF FOOD. Dear Social Corner Editor and Sis- ters: First I want to express my grat- itude for the check you so kindly mail- ed me as a prize for my letter, How to Wash Eiderdown Quilt. What do you do with the remnants of food? is a question before many an economical ‘housewife, and many a dainty addition to a meal may be con- trived from the smallest and apparent- ly worthless scraps. Now suppose there were a few cold potatoes and some cold ham or tom- gue. Mash the potatoes well ,and chop up the meat very fine, mix the two to- gether -in the proportion of two table- spoons of meat to one and a half ta- blespoons of potato. Melt a little butter and moisten the potato mixture with it. Have ready a pan of boiling fat and drop the mixture in by the spoon, fry- of sanitation is the belief of PUSSY WILLOW. PRESERVING STRAWBERRIES Dear Sisters “of the Social: Corner: Probably most of you are fond of preserv- ed strawberries, but do not take the time to do them up. Here is a rule I think you will like: Hull and wash the berries, then crush one-fourth of them, straining the juice in- to your preserving kettle. To. 1 pint of this juice add 1 pint of granulated sugar md 1-2 pint of cold water; let it stmmer for 20 minutes, then take the kettle off the range and skim the juice. Now fill hot sterilized jars with the remaining berries (as you used one-quarter of- the amount to crush, you' will have three- quarters of the original quantity left.) Place the filled jars on the rack in your wash boler, in which there is only enough hot water to cover the rack. Pour the prepared hot sirup over.the berries in the jars to within 1-2 inch of the top of the jars-and fit on the rubbers (that have been dipped into hot water) and the ster- ilized glass caps; put the top wire over the glass jarcaps but do not press down the side wire. Now add hot water until it comes halt way to the top of the jars. To my mind, this is a very im- portant point. For, you can say what you please about having the water cover the jars, ‘but I, at least, have never had luck in so doing; half of the red sirup from the inside of the jar has always been in the canner when I did so—al- though to be sure my| jars may be stretched slightly and therefors cause this trouble. After adding the hot water, put on the cover of the boller and lef the water boil around the jars for 1-2 hour, then remove jars and set them aslde to cool. 1 press down the side wires only after the jars are entirely cold. Preserved Strawberries: - Dissolve’ 4 cups of sugar in 1 scant pint of strained and uncooked strawberry juice (crush the smaller berries to obtain this juice.) Put. over the fire and let boil 5 minutes, skim- ming well. - Now add 1 quart of the larg- est reddest berrles you caa get and let simmer until tender but not mushy. Then take out the berries gentlyzwith # sieve anl pack them into hot Sterilized jars which are standing in 2 pan of hot wat- er. The julce still remains in the pre- serving kettle and to.it should be added any juice that has collected in the bot- tom of the jars which you havefilled with the berries (drain it off.) Let this jufco cook down until as thick as molasses, then pour it over:the fruit.in the jars to with- in-1-4-inch of top. Dip new:rubbers into hot water and place them on jars, adjust hot, sterilized covers, seal . airtight, and store. Before ‘putting on tha covers, however, it is well to run a silver knife around the inside of the jar close to, the glass, so that any tir bubbles may be broken. Rhubarb-Straberry Jam—Wash = the reddest stalks of rhubarb, remove any very coarse strings, and ‘cut into small pleces. To 1 pint of this diced rhubarb add 1 1-2 pounds .of sugar and place both in the preserving kettle. Let stand overnight. In the morning place the ket- tle ‘on the range and let boil 1-2 hour aft- er reaching the boiling- point, then add 1 pint of- hulled small strawberries ‘and let simmer until thick and jellylike. Turn into hot, sterilized jelly glasses and ,when cold, cover:with melted parafine. Yours for the Corner, . ARLINE. HOME. all | dow seat. .

But it’ 2 home which every member of the fam- fly hates to leave and is glad to come back to; a home where thé tastes of all are thought of and catered to; a home of pleasant ways, harmonious mu- slc, happy converse, jolly games. A home to which every one can bring his hobby for indulgence in riding—whether it bé bugs, books or flowers. It is 2 home showing plainly that it is a place to live in, not one to be escaped from. What fsa home? The real answer lles not“in the perfectness of its furnishings, though that is not to be decried,=but Yather ‘in the happiness of its inmates the restfulness and charm of its atmos phere, the loyalty and love of all who share it. Happy are we who are vouch- 8afed such a home; it s one of life's EBreatest gifts. Don't you think so? S. E. D MANDY ON AUTOMOBILES. Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis- ters: As I sit by the open window and see the autos pass to and fro, I think to myself what a blessing they are to the majority of people. I see the little Ford as’it flies back and forth and then to hear so many call them tin Lizzies, 1 feel as though I should just say a word for ‘them, In the first place if I was golng to buy an auto for all kinds of roads and weather, give me a little Ford; a Queen Elizabeth, if you please, not a tin Liz- zle. I think so many farmers have an auto today for pleasure, and where do Yyou find more contentment now than on a farm. They have a ’'phone for help; they have an auto to reach quickly the place they wish to go. And after a hard day's work vyou se¢ so many of them coming to the city to make calls, go to the theatre, and dif- ferent place: We counted 28 on one side of the street, when the circus was in town and ‘many more on the other side and about half or over were from the country. Don't you think the boy in the country enjoys any pleasures? I think they do; also the girls. I wish you could have had the pleasure of going through the factory at Detrolt, Mich. I think ‘those of you who have so much to say about Lizzie might think you were talking about something vou did not know anything about. Just In your mind picture the acres of land covered by the plant and homes of those working making Tin Lizzies. In the years "103-1904 1,000,780 Fords were turne: and soid. In 1917 700,000 was the piuoduction expected to be ceached, and over 2,000,000 are in use at the present time. Over 1.000,000 are engaged in making and selling the Ford in different narts of the world. They have a small sized city of the employes ‘of the shop, many of whom own their own homes, which are well kept up and pre- sent a2 neat, tidy appearance. There is over 5 miles of belting used in the shom, and such a huge amount of steel. Then they hold ar English school to teach those to read “®nd write who cannot. They have their own band of 56 pleces, also a moving picture machine for the entertainment of their help. Can you picture the vastness of this plant and the good that is done there in Detroit alone. Then imagine the autos that are carrying people for pleasure, business, one hundred and one other different things, and then insult the little Ford by such names as some call it. 1 am no agent trying to make a sale, don’t own an auto, but I do say, take off our hats to the little Ford, our Queen Eliza- beth is the wish of MANDY. KEPT AT HOME BY SICKNESS. Dear Social Corner: Was sorry 1 could not ‘be with Club No. 2 and heln at the Buckingham as I was to do. Because of sickness was obliged to stay at home. Hope next time I am on the list will be able to do my part. What a hot day your B's had, but know you were equal to the job. Hope to see you all at the next meeting. Best wishes to all. MID CLOVER. SOME QUESTIONS BY BETSY BOBBET Dear Editor and Sisters: Hard work isn’t it, these days to find time to write letters, or am I the only one troubled that way? Nearly every week I see Something in The Corner I'd like to_com- ment on but do not find the time until it is forgotten. N The letter on Breakreck ‘Hill cemetery brought to mind a question I have long intended to ask. Does any reader in Columbia know of an old cemetery in the woods somewhere in the vicinity of what used to be the Arthur Whitcomb farm? Hubby ran across one while fox hunting some years ago. It must be very, old, as it was overgrown with trees. Also I wonder if.the Lebanon readers know that there is still standing in that town an old building that was once used | as a Quaker meeting house? Later it was the home of the two Indian women who have been written about in The Corner, Kate and. Mary Francis. I be- lieve their names were. Now it is used as a wagon shed. Many of you are probabiy acquainted with the two sis- ters who are the present owners of the building” By the way, they have given me & quantity of zinnia, columbine and hollyhock seed (the last two hardy) to give to those of the Social Corner sisters Wwho would TIKS them. If any of the sis- ters would like them, please speak up. ~ Bonnle: Tried your soft molasses cookies. 1 thought it made very fair i;mgexmead—fmmcl it too soft for cook- es.
