Life's Problems
Are Discussed
Did you ever look at a photo
graph of yourself taken five or ten
years ago, or even one year ago? It
is immediately to realize the truth of
that line in the Rubaiyat about being
"one with yesterday's seven thou
sand years."
A photograph is one of the dead- -
est things in the universe. You hold
it in your hand and murmur with
the lady in the Mother Goose rhyme:
"If this be I, and that could never
be!" There is something in you
which not only fails to recognize it,
but which absolutely repudiates it.
ICven the people who consider it
a fairly good likeness can say noth
ing more than: "I have seen you
look just that way." To which you
might truthfully reply: "Yes, but
you have also seen me look a thou
sand different ways, all of which are
just as real as this fleeting expres
sion which the camera has caught
and fixed."
I do not know who it was that
first used the phrase, "counterfeit
presentment" to describe a photo
graph, but it could not have been
better expressed; for any photograph
is merely the record of an artificial
moment. Your mind is concentrated
on looking your best, which, of
course, means that you succeed bril
liantly In looking your worst.
The photographer says kindly, but
with a touch of reproof: "Not so
serious. Smile. Relax the pose a
little. Be more natural. There, that
is better." Immediately a|l the mus
cles in your face set and harden.
And the camera clicks.
It is caught, irrevocably caught—•
that something that Is never you.
True, it presents your outline, the
shape of your features, and even
your expression. But, nevertheless,
it is a false and fleeting impression
o this many-sided identity you
call "I." And there it stands; but
you. this "I" that is portrayed, have

already rushed on to new experi
ences, thoughts, emotions.
And this is true or all the various
molds which would try to hold us
static. A portrait is only an impres
sion of those particular qualities
which the painter divines in us, but
another painter would see us from
quite a different mental angle and
his portrait would give the idea of
an entirely different personality.
We change while the clock ticks.
And yet there is nothing most peo
ple dread so much as change.
A woman showed me the other
day some old photographs of her
self. The first ones represented her
as a radiant gsrl. She sighed as she
held them up and looked at them.
"How cruel life is," she said.
"Why, in addition to all the trials
and heartaches it t>rings, should we
have to change and fade as we do?
It makes everything a tragedy."
I looked from her to the photo
graphs and back again, and for a
second both the woman and the pho
tographs seemed to fade from before
my eyes. It is hard to describe in
words, but only the atmosphere of
each appeared to remain.
Instead of the youthful face in the
photograph, there was an impression
of radiance and joy, hope and won
der, something as fresh as the dawn;
and instead of the woman, there was
a shadow, with an almost visible
aura of bitterness and disappoint
ment and resentment and anger and
fear; ugly, unnecessary, destructive
things which she had let storm her
mind and occupy its citadel until
they had worked their perfectly
logical ruin.
She had not even attempted to
hold on to her radiance, and yet
that had once been a part of her —
the real part. She had Insisted on
regarding herself as a creature of
time, and not of eternity. She had
spent the years in running away
from the beautiful moment when the
camera had caught and held her
youthful likeness. Yet our beauti
ful moments are our only real pos
| sessions. Then why do we part from
i them so readily?
There is one glory of the sun and
another of the moon. We have all
seen beauty at every age. And who
would want always to retain the
fugitive and elusive charm of April'£
There are other manifestations—the
enchantment of summer, the golden
splendor of autumn, the mysterious
and subtle beauty of winter.
We speak of the ugliness of old
age as if it were inevitable. And
yet there are very few of us who
have not seen some beautiful old
persons.

I ever saw in my life was a very old J

not defeats! She seemed to have re

others drift away with the dust of
time.

Good news spreads rapidly and

pensing freezone, the ether discovery
of a Cincinnati man, which is said
to loosen any corn so it lifts out

Ask at any pharmacy for a quarter
ounce of freezone, which will cost
very little, but Is said to be sufficient
to rid one's feet of every hard or
soft corn or callus.
You apply just a few drops on the
tender, aching corn and instantly the
soreness is relieved, and soon the
corn is so shriveled that it lifts out
without pain. It is a sticky sub
stance which dries when applied and
never inflames or even irritates the
adjoining tissue.

DRYING SWEET CORN
Corn is one of the easiest vegeta
bles to dry. Select young, tender
corn, freshly gathered. Remove
husks and silk and blanch on the
cob eight minutes —five minutes for
very small and ten for very large
ears. This blanching sets the milk.
A teaspoonful of salt to a gallon of
water somewhat improves the flavor.
Cold dip, drain, and with a sharp
knife cut off kernels. Take care not
to cut chaff with corn. The bit of
corn left on cob after cutting may be
scraped off with blunt edge of knife,
so that none may be wasted. Full
directions for drying vegetables and
fruits are contained In the free dry
ing manual which the National War
Garden Commission, Washington,
will send you on request. A 2-cent
stamp should be enclosed to cover
postage.
Sun-dried corn is considered deli
cious, very likely because it is not
over-heated in drying, but corn dried
by artificial heat is excellent. Spread
on trays in thin layer over a single
thickness of paper or thin muslin.
Start at 110 degrees F. and raise
gradually to 145 degrees F. It may
be dried in four hours.
In using Held corn it should be
taken at the roasting-ear period of
ripeness. The ears should be plump,
j To prepare for sun drying, corn
may be heated in the oven for ten
to fifteen minutes, then put in the
sun. the sun drying is com
plete, the corn should be heated to
245 degrees F. to kill possible insect
eggs. A dozen good-sized ears will
yield about a pouna or corn. The
commission will be glad to answer
any questions written on one side
of the paper and sent in a self-ad
dressed, stamped envelope.
