'Adventures With

THERE are ome Wmen who never
measure lngrcdlcnta when cooking;
they somehow manngo ntwnya to hit
tho right nmount. Hut when using n
special kind of flavoring nnd n littles bit
too much will spoil the taste, I think it
Is by far wiser to measure exactly. Buf
It's qulto a task to take a teaspoon and
figure out distance on It. And It's n
wise plan to buy somp measuring spoons
such as I saw today. I Five of them nro
attached together by a ring, which can
easily hang on a nail In the kitchen.
T,he spoons range from a quarter tea
spoon to a tablespoon and will prove
very valuable. They are but thirty-five
cents for the set.
Everywhere we see signs that school

everywhere, too. we see little poop e

"troubles" begin again. The young

term because It means bo many new
adventures for them. To carry the r

Felt hats are very much In evidence
these days of sweaters and light-colored
"ports coats. If milady knits herself a

a green felt hat to mntch. Some of
them are far too expensive for sports
wear, but I came ncross a display of

What Carnegie Kneiv
TT IS intelligent overwork that does it," once remarked Cnrncgle, "and not
1 inspiration
Intelligent overwork perspiration It is the price not only of .superiority,
but of sheer existence ; It is the condition on which the rich man gains nn appetite
for his dinner and the poor man a dinner for his appetite.
Tnglionl, tho grentcst dancer of her day, used to rehenrse her steps dally
for hours nt a time till she fell unconscious from exhaustion nnd had to be
knanged nnd resuscitated for her evening performance.
Inspiration Is n poor platform on which to stand and expect much measure of
success. It Is perspiration thnt drives businesses and humans to tho top.
Inspiration In short-lived; Its fire burns, bright but brief; its force Is tran
sient, uncertain, independable. It is the hourly, dally, steady, unrelenting drip
of perspiration thnt dissolves difficulties, crumples obstructions, makes disap
pointment nn Incident and spur to further nnd fruitful effort.
Inspiration is the occasional thought. Perspiration is the constant thinking,
the structure evolved of binin and brawn, the success that Is built of failure;
for It is struggles with adversity that transform ordinary men into successful men.
Inspiration is the enslly, frequently smothered spnrk. Perspiration is the
all -enveloping, inextinguishable llnme, the sense and the security of power, the
impelling force that you are as good as the best of them, the conviction thnt life
stands engdr nnd ready to give you what you by honest efforts strive for.
Inspiration sometimes gives n man a good idea. Perspiration gives him ns
many ns he needs, makes them facts, creates the spirit nnd the things that breed
nnd bring success.
Panic Fortune withholds only what you yourself spurn. She Is too proud
to tender her tidbits where they nre unearned. Only perspiration can earn them.
(ietitiib, which is the capacity to conquer defeat, has been justly adjudged 1)0
per cent perspiration 1 per cent or LESS inspiration. Genius Is possessed by a
negligible modicum of the world's population. The great majority of our suc
cessful folk owe their ration nnd stntion to Industrially npplicd common sense
plenty of perspiration.
In these days of countless opportunities, the empty, scoreless career Is the
aimless, careless career. Only the mentally incapacitated may bo pardoned fail
ure. The man or woman of nvcrngc brains can chnlk up success if he or she will
take the trouble.
"It is Intelligent OVERWORK that docs it," said Carnegie.

SHE was one of those adorable babies
that you want to hug. .
Not a penches-nnd-creara, beautiful
child, but just lovable. v
She was running nbout the lawn,
plnying In the absorbed, nttentlve way
thnt babies like her always haye.
When sho chnsed n butterfly from the
bushes along tho fence over to tlio
garden nnd watched It disappear Into a
neighbor's flowers, It was a serious
business, ', ,
When rhe nicked up the hnndle of
her small wheelbarrow nnd trudged
bgslly over to her sand pile in the cor
ner, you knew thnt this was nn Impor
tant nnd necessary move,
Sho was very shy. ,
Her three-cornered smile seemed to
bo reserved for very rnro occasions, for,
when some ono outside tho family talked
to her, her mouth assumed n solemn
pucker nnd she gazed up under brows
thnt were drawn together gravely.
But once khc smiled, she nlmost
laughed. ,
Thnt was when she-pointed out n red
rose, lingering on licyond the summer.
She caressed It lovingly with a sun
browned finger, and then gave her
swcot smile.
"Daisy!" she explained. nnd
"Daisy," she cried again, rushing over
to a purple aster.
That was when she nlmost laughed.
HER conversation, though, was bril
liant and light nnd continuous.
Only her mother could hove under
stood just what some of the words
were, and her mother was not there.
She had been forced to lenve her
that dav. for thnt precious, light
hearted talk that she loved so to henr
had been breaking her heart all morn
She was the wlfo of nn nvlntor, and
news hnd last come to her Hint elay of
the wreck of her husband's ship.
There was no more newt than thnt.
Sho would not know for hours whether
the father of the busy little prattler
would over come back to them again i
or how.
In time, of course, If the news con
tinued to be bad nnd there was very lit
tle hopo, that baby with the flashing
smile that she kept for her would bo her
enly comfort.
With her to think nbout. to love nnd
to bring up, sho would hnve less time
to brood, to mourn nnd grieve.
But that day, nlmost distracted as
she was, with every sight of tho baby
bringing the vision of her father more
distinctly before her, she could not
bear the sound of that happy talk.
HOW little children know of the
tragedies that go oh over their
heads evary day.
In the midst of death nnd trouble
they go'Vight on with their sunny little
lives, growing, chatting, plnying, nil
unconscious of the change In their sur

finished with dangling fclds of the

the frock.

Many people get
the idea that they can
keep their nerves on
edge and their diges
tion upset .year after
year, and "get away
with it" They sleep
only half as much as
they should and
never getproperly and
thoroughly rested.
If you tire out eas
ily, if you are getting
pale and anemic, if
your food" doesn't
digest as it should,
would it not be well
to stop and consider
whether coffee or tea
is having its effect
on you?
The caffeine and
thein found in coffee
and tea are drugs, as
any doctor can tell
you. Is it any wonder
that the steady use
of these drugs some
times causes serious
damage?
If you really want
to be fair with your
self, and give yourself
the opportunity you
deserve in order to do
your best work, make
up your mind to quit
coffee and tea for
awhile and drink
delicious, appetizing
Postum instead.
Postum permits
sound, refreshing
sleep which builds
strength, energy and
endurance.
Order Postum from
your Grocer today.
Drink this hot, re
freshing beverage in
place of tea or coffee
for 10 days and see
what a wonderful dif
ference it will make in
the way you feeL
Postum comes in two
forms: Instant Po3tum (in
tins) made instantly in the
cup by the addition of
boiling water. Postum
Cereal (in packages of
larger bulk, for those who
prtffer to make the drink
while the meal ia being
prepared) made by boiling
for 20 minutes.
