OCHO HCH CHUN HO SHOR OHO CHO HOY ALONG LIFE’S TRAIL Cy THOMAS A. CLARK Pean of Men, University of lino. OHIO (©. 1834, Western Newspaper Union.) YOUTH IDDLE age Is less optimistic than youth, less courageous, sand meets pain and dangers and discom- forts with less fortitude. My neighbor, Harris, shuffled into the office a day or two ago when the thermometer was registering 96 In the shade and in the sun had pushed its way through the top of the tube. He was mopping a damp brow, breathing heavily, and presenting a general ap- pearance of ill temper and dissatisfac- tion. “Well, who's sold you a gold brick this time?” I asked him. “I'm all knocked out today,” he re- plied. “It was so blasted hot last pight that I couldn't sleep a wink, and I'l he ne good all day.” “The trouble with you, Harris,” 1 pald, “is that you're growing old.” I've known Harris since he was a boy of ten oa the farm. He slept then in the unplastered attic just under the roof. The roof had but one little window in ft, and this window gave no ventila- tion to the room but served only as a wenns of entrance of the sun's pitiless rays that beat on the roof throughout the long August days and rendered the room a veritable furnace at night. And yet Harris scarcely noticed the heat then. He had youth; he was tired and groggy with sleep when he mounted to his bed In the attic, and he dropped off almost the moment he touched the hot sheets and slept until he was awakened In the morning by his mother’s voice, Now he has a cold shower before going to his pleasant bed in his sleep- ing porch with its dozen generous windows and its electric fan to stir breezes for Harris’ comfort. He lives under the most favorable conditions, and has every modern convenience for his comfort at night, but a little ri in the thermometer puts him out sorts for an entire day. I visited Crane in the hospital the other Jay. He is middle aged. He has had some minor surgery done on him—an ingrowing toe nail taken off or a boll lanced nr something of that sort. He yard, and as Irritable as a teething child. Al his plans for the summer have been upset, and the little pain and discomfort he has suffered has put him on “low,” It was depressing fo talk to him. And then | remembered the letter | had from Blum. front at the beginning of the German drive. He met rain and mud and ver min with a cheerful laugh; he faced a storm of bullets and blood, and In & Linepital severe'y wonnded “Ilere I am ‘sitting on the world,” ao the boys put it.” he wrote. “Nice white enameled bed, clean white sheets, white blankets and all, Good food ;: nothing to do but eat and sleep. Pretty soft. “Don’t have any worry about me; I'm in clover and having a good rest. Pm all right; I'm eating like a horse and kicking because they don't give me enough. “Love and good luck to everybody.” Oh, youth, youth! WORK “W HEN 1 am dead,” John M. 8id dell once sald, “I want you to sarve on my tombstone this line: "Here lles #8 man who lived a number of years and found out one thing-—that there Is no substitute for work.” It has been generally conceded, 1 pelieve, that our first parents, before they transgressed the regulations of the Garden, had nothing to do but en- joy themselves—to snip off a choot oc- cagionally from some over-ambitious vine or flowering shrub and to watch things grow. If such a condition of affairs had continued long they would have left the Garden of their own ac- rord from utter weariness and dissat- isfaction, and would not have had to pe driven out ar they were. When the Lord said to Adam, “In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread,” It was not a curse he was pro nouncing but the greatest blessing he rould have concelved. The happiest people in the world are those who work—-and the most useful ones—no matter how hard and common the work ‘nay seem; and the most unhap- py are those who have nothing to do but to think about themselves, A great deal of the energy of the world has gone into the Invention of "labor-saving” devices, and yet the op- gration of every such device involves a new kind of labor, and the total amount of work demanded Is about the same as it was before. The people whom 1 have known who have tried the hardest to devise some way to get out of work have expended more phys teal energy In thelr attempts to evade work than would have been necessary to accomplish the task they were at- tempting to sidetrack, Siddelt wis right. There Is no sub stitute in the world for work, and it's just as well there isn't, for nothing [nduces more peaceful, more genuine satisfaction, more real happiness than work well concelved and well per formed.

It requires no special perception to see the faults In those around us. but to discern our own, ls quite a differ ent matter, Indeed it is not strange that we balk at the effort. It is a job that we do not ike to contemplate, even when we are In a good humor, i Jut If we would achieve, attain and be highly respected, the obvious thing to do is to stand up and face the mu- sle, though the notes be disquieting. Whoever Is not doing his utmost to overcome his own defects, Is cheating | himself, . i The first sane step we take toward self-improvement is the one taken arm-in-arm with self-dissutisfactior, We tread then on ground in a new | world, where we discover to our amunzement sins within us equal In every respect to those we so loualy condemn In others, Humans who are living In one sphere cannot understand those in an- other position.

LOOP PIVVVLIONY LIGHTS AHEAD By DOUGLAS MALLOCH SAT alone in all my gloom, Yet moonlight came and filled the room. The course of life seemed dark, uncer tain, And yet a star peeked through the cur tain, Though night shut down about me, J Found moonlit world and starlit sky, A thousand things to journey by. I needed but to ft my head To find God's constellutions spread Across His azure acres, burning A changeless lamp at ev'ry turning. I needed but to look around And silver was the world 1 found Where moonlight magic touched the ground, 80 often do we choose to dwell Within our souls as in a cell, When right around us moon is gleam ing, When right above us sturs are beam ing. Whatever path we have to tread, If we will look, as 1 have sald, I'm sure that there are lights ahead. (© by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) [ A pw Copyright tie.

COOLING DISHES HIS is the season of the year when asple and gelatin dishes appeal to the taste as they supply food easy of digestion, Asple jelly is made from clarified meat broth solidified with gelatin. One two-ounce package of gelatin softened in one cupful of water is used for each five cupfuls of broth. Meat broths are flavored with vegetables freed from fat and clarified with crushed egg shells and white of egg. Asplc made of chicken or veal Is a very delicate color. Consomme gives a darker color as it is prepared from beef, veal and fowl! with splces and herbs. Beef broth is darkest of all The amount of gelatin used Is suf. ficient to hold slices of tongue, or similar solid substances as well as whole eggs in an upright position af- ter molding. It Is also firm enough for croutons, but a jelly that will not hold its shape, as far as taste is con- cerned, Is much more desirable. As flavors are léssened by chilling. all broths used for aspic should be strong- ly flavored with the particular vege table or herb that Is desired In the particular digh, The qualities of a good asple are strength of flavor, transparency and delicacy of texture, that is, as soft as possible, though able to stand up. Delicate Aspic Jelly, Clean a chicken about a year old, rut up as for frying, cover with cold Ha water, heat quickly to the bolling point, then let simmer until tender. Strain off the broth through a double cloth. Season with salt and pepper and set aside to chill and use. Two stalks of celery and one onion may be added to the fowl wkile cooking. Aspic Jelly From Consomme. Take five eupfuls of cleared cone somme, one to two ounces of gelatin, one-half to one cupful of cold water. The quantity of gelatin depends upon the solidity desired. Let the gelatin stand in the cold water untill complete ly absorbed, then pour over the con somme heated to the holling point, Molded Custard. Soften one-fourth of a package of gelatin In onefourth of a cupful of cold milk.

NE of the favorite subjects for Jokes on the part of our present day bumorists Is appendicitis, According to these gentlemen, ap- pendicitly is a recently discovered dis. euse which was Invented for the pur pose of giving surgeons a remunerative occupation. “How does {it happen” asks the newspaper humorist, “that our grand parents never had appendicitis?” Bless your hearts! They did, just as people do nowadays. but they died of it. In the majority of cases they never got well to tell the story, Appendicitis is as old ns the human race. Ruffer found evidences of it In the Egyptian mummies of a thousand years before Christ, Ever since man gave up an exclu sively vegetarian diet and began to walk upright on his hind feet he has | had appendicitis. But he didn’t eall it that. The doctors of fifty years ago ealled It “bhillous colle,” or “inflamma- tion of the bowels” They knew there was something wrong going on In the patient's ahdomen, hat they didn’t dare open him up to find ont what the trou- ble was because they knew that If they did the patient would die from the operation, while if they let him alone he might get well So they gave him oplum to deanden the pain and he either got well or died. although In the great majorit) of cases he dled About forty years ago Pasteor proved that inflammation and Infection | are due to minute germs.

As soon | as the surgeon could open the buman | body and close it up again without kil ing the patient, It was found that what had been called "Inflammation of the bowels” was often due to an Inflamnma- tion of the appendix, a little glove-like | portion of the Intestines, which we in- { herited our herbivorous ances | tors.

Sassafras or camomile tea, | spruce beer or ginger beer? Whatever { it was, It was to “cool the blood” thick during the long winter. This bellef In a “spring tonic,” lke many popular delusions, had its origin { in the teachings of the wise men of the past. The old physiologists believed that there were four “humors” or flulds In the body—blood, lymph, hlack bile and yellow blle—and that disease was caused by Improper combinations of these four fluids. In the winter the blood was supposed to become thick and hot, Doctors know better now, but the popular bellef still versists, The sassafras tea our grandmothers used to make wasn't bad stuff. It was brown and sparkling and pungent with the spicy odors of the spring woods, It didn't “thin the blood.” but It didn't do us any harm and was the best our good old grandmothers knew, Yet, like many popular beliefs, there was a germ of truth in It During the winter most of us stay in the house too much, We sit at a desk or a worktable too constantly, We wear too heavy clothes, We eat top much heavy food.
