EN YOU HAVE
TO MAKE-DON'T GROWL-KICK!
E?A Grievance Carried to
By-. ..
Ettective Susceptibility oi the
Young Girl
' MTTVON'T growl; kick!" Ono of tho do
v -' partmental heads of a railway cor
poration thus tersely expressed himself.
, Ha declared that one well-directed kick
would accomplish more tesultf than a
hundred misdirected growN. Yet the
sjrowler outnumbers the kicker In Just
about the same ratio.
Using the trains constantly there are
few who do not find something about
which to complain. But do they com
plain effectively? Mot persons giovvl
and grumble, at flaws In the sjstem, but
those who aro courageous enough or enei
Eetia enough to send their complaints In
writing to tho olllco where they will do
the mot good aro few and far between.
The advlco Is well worth jcgardlng In
other fields of endcaor. Being In n con
stant state of "growl," whether expressed
or repassed, cannot fall to ha e Its effect
on one's disposition, and ultimately on
one's outward self. Tho face will take
on hard lines of discontent, tho een
grow heavy and tired, ecn the walk loses
Its spring.
If you aro not satisfied with jour "Job"
-lf you feel that j ou are being Imposed
upon, don't mutter about It. Go to our
employer and express youi opinions or.
if loyalty preents such action on your
part look for nrfbther opening But
don't live In a chronic state of discon
tent. '"1 LANCING over bome of the letters
-" from soung girls In your columns,
I am Impressed with tho ery littles en
couragement sorao of them need to fall
head over cars In love. It does seem a
pity that joung men and bos should
not be ablo to have perfectly unsenti
mental sane friendships with girls, should
not be ablo to show them little courtesies
without leading the girls to Imagine they
are in love.
"Yet here nre doens of lctteis from
girls telling of their nffalrs of the heart,
and most of theso affairs hanging by
ery slender thieads." Need I say tho
writer of this letter Is of the m-ncullne
persuasion?

Brown Rice Wha't? It Is
To the Editor of lfomnu'a Pane'
Dear Madam In one of the recipes publhhel
In our column recentl mention was mad of
brown rlee " Perhaps I am very lunorant but
1 don't mind ronfenslng- that I never heard of

And Is It couked differently?
(Mrs.) WILLIAM B . Jr
Brown rice Is the rice left with its orig
inal covering on, and Is considered much
better in this, Its primitive htate, than after
it has had the covering removed and the
train polished with parairin The brown
coat holds In Its cells those vitamins with
out which we cannot thrive and the loss of
which so often gives rice eaters that dread
disease, berl-berl. It cannot always bo
procured, although If housewives would de
mand It firmly they would probably bo sup
piled with It.
To properly boll it. after picking It over
and carefully washing, place It In a pan.
cover with water an Inch deep, let stand
two hours, then simmer until soft. Stir
as lightly as possible, using a fork, so as
not to break the grains, and add no more
water. The original amount ohould be
nearly absorbed. Salt to tatte, then serve
with meat or chicken gravj.

For dinner a cloth Miould alvvuH be

The vegetables should not bo placed on

pantry or on a Mde table anil arc passed
by tho maid to the guests, A tablespoon
nnd a fork should be laid In the vegetablo
dish, that the guests may help themselves,
Small dishes of silver or. cut glass are
placed at odd Intervals ou tho table, and
these, should contain candles, salted nuts
and olives respectively.
Toothpicks are never to be used, and,
above, all things, never to be served. Their

Your table can be made to look very
