| Life's Problems •*0 Are Discussed BV MRS. WILSON WOODROW Isn't it awful? How often do you hear that phrase? More times than you can count if your experience corresponds to mine. And it is very rarely used in reference to some deep personal af fliction or universal calamity. It usually describes some entirely trivial happening as soon as it is told. There isn't one person in ten using the phrase habitually who really means it. Its constant ex pression is largely a matter of hlbit. It falls automatically and mechanic ally from the lips. Then, too, a rather mournful out look on life is supposed to indicate stability of character. If we laugh too much and enjoy things too gaily we are convicted, in the microscopic minds of all this world's prigs and solemn asses, of frivolity and lightness of nature. A serious mien and repressed manner is taken as the outward and visible sign of inward profundity. It is a sort of a holdover from the old Puritan ideals. The condemnation of the Isn't-it awful people falls heavily upon the weather. The weather is a universal scapegoat. If the sky is so cloudless ly bright and the air so deliciously fresh that it would stamp one as a hopeless knocker to cavil at it, we hear the languid and grudging ad mission: "Nice day, isn't it, after the awful way it rained yesterday." The fact is, that we find a long succession of sunshiny days mo notonous; we want them sandwiched between a few rainy ones just for variety. The other evening I was hurry ing down the avenue at twilight. It had been a sloppy day, but just as I lifted my eyes to see if another rain fall was imminent I saw a vision of beauty. The tower gleamed impalp able and evanescent through hazes of fog, and behind it the moon swung up between the flying black clouds. It was dream-like and mysterious. Then suddenly a harsh, unmodulat ed, feminine voice disturbed my con templation. "The crossings are awful," it said. "The walking is simply horrible to day." Why is it notth j part of true philosophy to determine to take the days as they come enjoying to the full the pleasant things and mini mizing the discomforts?

And to-day, when we are living through one of the greatest crises of history and the greatest cataclysm the world has ever known, it is sure ly necessary to hold tight to all the joy, all the courage, all the cheer we possess or can assiduously culti vate. In the face of the tremendous tragedy of the war, it seems rather contemptible to complain of petty personal inconveniences. I know and I venture to say you do, too, people who so persistently say, "Awful," that they don't know when they are using it. I cut my finger slightly the other day. An ac quaintance saw that I wore no glove and that my hand was bound, and immediately exclaimed: "You've hurt your hand! How awful! How perfectly dreadful!" It was nothing of the kind. It was temporarily inconvenient, and that was all. Why stress the unpleasant things? Our days are mainly made up of trifles, more difficult than agreeable in many lives. But why concentrate our attention on the difficult things, and thus weave for ourselves an ir ritating shirt of Nessus? Who are the happy people you know? Have you ever made a study of them? They are those who feel and express the joy of life, and would still feel it and still express it In pov erty, in sickness and in s.orrow. They ask very little of existence; for they are the people with a vision—the in ward vision of beauty, and beauty shimmers about them wherever their feet are turned. I know a woman who was living for a time in a skylight room with only one narrow window in it, so near the ceiling that one had to stand on a chair to look out of it. She didn't however, call attention to that fact; she always spoke of it as her "Eastern window of divine sur prise." She rejoiced in the way the sun fell through it early in the morning, and said it was like a frame enclosing a wonderful picture of the sky. I do not remember the details of that room whether it held rare and intrinsically beautiful things or cheap and commonplace ones. I recall only its effect of beauty and its atmosphere of charm and re pose. I am thinking "as I write of an iron" discoloration"of the teeth; no unpleasant taste.)

She has too much philosophy, courage and capacity for enjoyment to do so. Like most people who are Interesting and worth while, her life has had more shadow than sunshine in it. She has had great trials and wearisome ill nesses. But by the very miracle of her own radiant nature the years that the locust hath eaten have been restored to her. I met her not long: ago, stopped to talk a moment or two, and walk ed on with some one who had not known her In the past and who was unaware of those years of struggle and pain and disappointment and defeat, seeing only her successful and happy present. "How charming she is," said this person, half enviously. "It doesn't seem fair that one woman should have so much. Lovely gown she had on, wasn't it?" "Yes; rose color, was it not?" "Hose color?" she exclaimed. "What are you thinking of? It was dark blue." "I have no eye for detail," I said hastily. "I had an impression of rose color." You may consider it absurd. Eut my own unshakable conviction is, that my eye intuitively saw envelop ing her the color which correspond ed to that blithe, lovable and invinc ibly courageous personality—rose.

Can we find in this class of food substitutes for sugar just as we are facing substitutes for other foods that are being needed abroad? With every desire to be patriotic those who eat candy are uncertain whether it is wrong or right, because this part of the food program has not received as much fcmphasis as that part touching grains and meats. The food administration says it is possible to eat candy and satisfy your sweet tooth and still be a pa triot if you use care in selecting the kinds of candy that contain a mini mum rather than a maximum amount of sugar. We are asked to share our sugar with the allies, yet the American sweet tooth craves candy. It not alone has food value but a reason able amount of It is desirable in the diet. There are at least four groups of candy that contain a mimium in stead of a maximum of sugar, and which also contain other pure and wholesome ingredients which are plentiful. , The first group includes chocolate coated candies with nut and fruit centers, especially the old-fashioned chocolate creams with the bitter rweet coating and uncoated candies such as nougatines, Turkish pastes and similar varieties. There is an abundance of chocolate; it is pure and wholesome and has high food value. You are co-operating in the conservation program if you eat chocolate confectionary containing such centers. The second group iftcludes "hard boiled candies" such as lemon drops, stick candjr, fruit tablets, peanut bars peanut brittle glaco nuts and the like. In this group may also be placed molasses candies such as taffies and kisses. Marshmallows and similar candy comprises the third group. They may be eaten plain, toasted, dipped in chocolate, rolled in cocoanut and in many other palatable forms, also popcorn confections. In the gourth group are included gum drops, jellies, jelly beans and the like, giving a wide variety of candy made from pure and whole some ingredients and containing u minimum amount of sugar. In eating candy in any of these four groups the consuming nubile is doing two definite things to aid conservation. First, it is saving sugar without neglecting the great American sweet tooth; second, it Is enabling the confectioners to con tinue their industry and employ their labor as usual. STOMACH UPSET?

J CHAPTER XXIV. Copyright, 1918, Star Co. When Cynthia opened her eyes, she found herself carried through the fast-falling snow and there were voices about her —Dora's being the most distinct. "Cynthia, darling, are you hurt?" as she was pleading. "Oh, that stupid taxi driver! Why couldn't he have given that big truck more room?" "What's the matter?" Cynthia muttered, trying to sit up. But the arms that carried her held her close. "Be quiet, dear, just for a moment,' Milton Van Saun whispered. "I am taking you to Dora's car." A moment later she was lifted into the depths of the Livingstone limousine and Dora climbed irr be side her. "Are you hurt, Cynthia?" she quavered. "We were right behind your taxi, and a big truck skidded and struck it, for your driver passed too close to the truck and pieces of wood and glass from the win dow must have hit you—or some thing did and stunned you." "I am all right," Cynthia said, sitting up straight. But as she did so a sharp pain made her catch her breath. "I think my shoulder is hurt a bit," she acknowledged. "That's all. I am sure it amounts to noth ing." Her cousin peered at her by the light of the car lamp overhead. "There's no sign of a cut on your face," she announced. "Thank goodness for that." Milton Van Saun had seated him self by Cynthia, while Gerald took his seat by Dora. Cynthia, shaken and quivering in every nerve, felt a weak desire to drop her head on Milton's shoulder and cry, but she struggled against her folly. Dora taked so fast that there was no necessity for anyone else to speak. "Milton's as strong as an ox," she was saying. "He Just picked you up as if you had been a kid and carried you right back to our car. I was so scared that if Gerald had not been with me I do not know what I would have done. He reas sured me in a moment. By the way, Gerald, thank you!" A Tense Situation She giggled hysterically, but Cyn thia noticed that Stewart did not smile. Instead he gazed at the girl with a tenderness that even Milton Van Saun must have resented if he | had been watching. But Milton was looking at Cynthia. "Here we are at last!" he an nounced as the car stopped at the Livingstone door. "You'd best let me lift you out, Cynthia." "I can walk perfectly well, thank you," Cynthia said, decidedly. "Then let her walk, Milton," Dora advised. "Don't fuss over her. She hates it." Her voice had grown suddenly tense, as if she were aware that the situation was strained. Cynthia turned to Gerald Stewart as she stepped out of the car. "I am a little dizzy, Gerald," she said. "Will you help me up the steps?" "Certainly," ho answered, spring ing to her side.

"But the snow is deep," he re minded her as she floundered across the drifts to the steps. "You might fall." She made no reply, but started up the steps. Half-way up v she paused and looked back over" her shoulder. "Caspar!" sho called, then as the wind caught her words and blew them back to her she issued a sharp command to Milton. "Tell Caspar to take the car around to the garage at once. He has been out all the afternoon and must be almost frozen. I forgot him until this moment. He will be needed no more to-night." Milton ran back to execute her commands. By the time he had re joined her she was ringing the front door-bell. As the young people entered the hall Mrs. Liwingstone came down stairs. "My dear children!" she exclaim ed. "How late you are!" Then, as she saw Cynthia's pale face, "What's the matter? Have you had an accident?" Dora Helps Her Cynthia was conscious of a giddi ness in her head as she started to ward her aunt. Once more all went black, and she felt a strong arm catch her. "She struck her shoulder and head against the side of the cab when It collided with a truck," she heard Gerald Stewart say. "The pain in her shoulder has made her a little faint, I think. "Bring her right into the library," Mrs. Livingstone suggested. But, with a great effort, Cynthia freed herself from Stewart's Hold. "I am all right now," she said firmly. "If you do not mind, Aunt Amanda, I will go up to my room and rest for a while before dinner." "Let Air. Stewart help you," Mrs. Livingstone ordered. The girl was so dizzy that she started to accept the arm he offer ed, then, as she saw a swift expres sion of pain cross Dora's face, she changed her mind. "Oh, no, thank you," sho said. "I can walk up alone." But Dora was by her side in a moment. "Let me help you, dear," she begged, and, putting her arm about her cousin's waist, she went upstairs with her. Cynthia did not look back. Be cause of the expression on Dora's face she did not want to glance at Gerald. And because of a sudden throbbing of her own heart, she did not dare look into Milton Van Saun's blue eyes. (To Be Continued) Advice to the Lovelorn By BEATRICE FAIRFAX SKI,FISH AND DECEITFUL DIuAR MISS FAIRFAX: I liave been engaged to a man whom I deeply love and whom I cannot give up. I now iind he is married, with two children. Upon acquainting him with my knowledge of the fact, he told me that proceedings were in court for a divorce and that his mar ried life has been unhappy. He told me he became engaged to me before his divorce because I had other suitors, and he was afraid I might become engaged to one of them. D. M. There are selfishness and deceit as the foundation of this man's actions. He had no right to give you the im pression he was free, no right to put you in the untenable position in which you now find yourself—as the fiancee of a married man. How do you know that he is ever going to be free to marry you? How can you satisfy your conscience that you are not a thief of love and guilty of stealing your happines from another woman? It seems to me, judging by the data you have given me. that your best chance of happiness lies in putting out of your life a man who has not dealt honestly or honorably with you—or with the mother of his chil dren. This may not be advice that Sou will like or find easy to follow, but I think it is advice that will lead you to ultimate peace. DELICATE GIRLS!"

That is exactly the question to be solved—What will "take its place?" The first thing to determine, then, is what each of these foods you are asked to save, contributes to the body's needs. And the next step is to find other foods that will sup ply those same food elements. Wheat furnishes starch for one thing. But so do the other cereals. Why not use corn, oats, rye, ice and barley as both an admixture in flour and as a cereal? Serve such starchy vegetables as sweet and Irish potato more often and less bread jw'ill be eaten. Meat has long been considered the chief source of protein. But there are many other foods equally rich in body-building material such as milk, poultry, fish, cheese, eggs, dried legumes and some of the nuts. The duty of the patriotic housewife is to study which of these foods are most satisfactory to her family in exchange for meat and then to devise new ways of combining and serving them. She can also extend the meat flavor and make a very little meat go a very long way. For stews some of these "meat extend ers" are potatoes, parsnips, carrots, and turnips, while inexpensive meat dishes can be prepared by combin ing the cheaper cuts of meat with rice, potato, bread crumbs, corn meal and samp.

We can easily use less fat than we do and we can also re duce our uses of animal fats by using vegetable oils in cooking in place of butter and by using poultry fat for shortening purposes. That we are being asked to curtail our use of white sugar doesn't threaten the removal of the required sweets in our diet. Try using only half the usual amount of white sugar, with honey or maple sugar or corn syrup to make up the amount required. Stewed raisins or sliced dates will sweeten the break fast cereal. Some of the body's fuel must come in the form of sweets, it is true, but that does not mean that all of it must come in the form of the white sugar now so needed by the Allies. Keep in mind the body's needs in food elements and then set about to supply these needs with foods that are not the present shipping needs for our own soldiers and those of the Allies.
