The Days When I
Was Young
By DOUGLAS MALLOCH
HE snows of many winters have
drifted down to earth,
The suns of many springtimes shave
melted them to mirth;
The Ice has strung her garlands where
once the apples hung—
Yet not a thing has ever changed since
days when J was young,
My boy, the very changes were always
still the same:
November took the bluebird, and yet
the robin came ;
I heard him come returning, I heard

How It Started
By JEAN NEWTON
WASTING TIME
UST what are you doing for your-
self in the hours apart from those
you give to your employers?
If you would once stop and serious-
ly consider the inestimable value of
these golden bits of time, which are
yours to do with as you please, there
is a likelihood that you would put
them to better use,
In one way or another, young people
unencumbered with any other burden
save their own, are apt to fritter away
time in aimless amusement. The quest
of goodly fellowship, without regard to
where it may end, and the pernicious
habit of idling seem, unfortunately,
to be the dominating purposes in the
lives of the thoughtless.
They flit about like butterflies, drift-
ing on the winds, sipping honeyed
sweets often tainted with poison.
These flexible friendships which you
make are so agreeable while they en-
dure, you quite forget the steady pas-
sage of time as you keep pursuing
them, wasting the most precious years
of your life, in which character is
formed into beauty or ugliness.
Friendships are agreeable, but they
are often insincere, and for this rea-
son it becomes incumbent upon you to
<onsider them in an attitude of selfish-
ness!
You must give ‘due thought to your-
self before you dre left destitute, in-
competent and unqualified to extricate
yourself from the humble position you
have occupied all these years, which
by a stroke or two of fate may leave
You stranded and forlorn in old age.
You, who are young and hopeful,
are wondering whether these words
are for you. They seem in some way
#0 lean their weight upon you, but in
the hunt for amusement, yofti throw
them off,
“Tomorrow,” you promise, “I'll think
-about them. But not today. I'm hav-
ing too much fun. I'll make good,
somehow.”
So you think.
So thousands of others have thought
‘who have gone before you!
When they awoke to a realization
of their position they found their
lances broken and their shields eaten
by rust, unable to compete with men
who had been using their spare mo-
ments advantageously, disregarding
the call to play. .
And so it will be with you unless
you mend your way,
And so it will ever be with those
who think the world will walt for them
while they romp and lark and gambol.
“It 1s not idleness that is plentiful,
but courage that is rare, that wins!”

“THE SAMPLER”
EEING or perhaps owning one of
the lovely old strips of linen or
silk embroidered In almost every
stitch known to pliers of the needle
called samplers, you have doubtless
wondered about its significance and
the origin of its strange name.
Because samplers fit in so well with
the furniture of the period, or perhaps
because so many of the old ones treas-
ured in this country are the handi-
work of early American homewives,
they have come to be regarded as
“colonial. The fact is, however, that
together with other ‘manners and cus-
toms samplers were simply trans-
planted from the other side, brought
by the industrious women who found
in their exquisite stitching the self-
expression for which colonial life af-
forded scant outlet.
The earliest known sampler is one
dated 1643 which is now in a museum
in London. It is elaborately embroid-
ered in the needle-point and
point which are today so popular with
the woman of fashion for decorating
her hand bag and other accessories.
It is to the sampler, incidentally, that
the modern petit-point and gros-point
are said to owe thelr origin.
How this strip of embroidery came
to be named a “sampler” is by no
means the least interesting part of its
story. We learn that the craze for fine
needlework in the Seventeenth cen-
tury was met with a great scarcity
and costliness of books of pattern.
Therefore, designs were worked onto
pieces of materials which were called
“samplers.”

O
Flyers Under Handicap
In flying at extreme altitudes, the
pilot is more likely to fail than his
machine, according to an article by
Lieut. John A. Macready, world fa-
mous flyer, in Liberty. “The mind of
the pilot,” be says, “does not function
normally at extreme altitude, and his
readings aad calculations cannot al-
ways be relied upon when he gets into
the regions where the air is very light.
For this reason, a large number of in-
struments are used to record what
happens during a flight at altitudes
above 30,000 feet. Eleven instraments
provide a permanent record of every-
thing that happens within the engine,
within tke supercharger, and also of
the outside surrounding conditions.”
his carol sung—
The robin sings the same today as
days when 1 was young.
A little while we sorrow, a little time
we grieve,
When brown the meads and marshes
and when the bluebirds leave,
But still in God's high heaven a star
of hope is hung—
And spring will come the way It did
in days when I was young,
For when this earthly summer has
faded into mist,
When I go down the river to keep
the final tryst,
I know that I shall find them, the folks
to whom I clung,
The loved it hurt so much to lose in
days when I was young.
For gurely if the Father can give the
earth the spring,
Then he can give the springtime to
any other thing:
And in some lovely springtime, again
my loved among,
I know that God will give me back
the days when 1 was young,
(© by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)
When you get to know a fellow, know
his joys and’know his cares,
When you've come to understand him
andl the burdens that he bears,
When you've learned the fight he's
making and the troubles in his
way,
Then you find that he is different than
you thought his yesterday.
—Edgar Guest.
HERE ARE SOME SOUPS
DISH of nourishing soup is al-
ways welcome, especially on a
chilly day or night. The following are
a few variations:
Cabbage Soup.
Put a piece of bacon or salt pork
into a kettle, cover with water and
cook an hour, then add a whole cab-
cage, a few carrots, onions, some tur-
nip, a stalk of celery and a bay leaf.
Cook at least another hour and a half
and serve hot,
Milk Soup.
Toast thin slices of bréad until they
are crisp and brown. Bring to the
boiling point one quart of milk, adding
a pinch of salt and sugar. Beat the
yolks of four eggs with a little water.
Remove the milk from the fire and
add the eggs; stir a moment, then
turn the mixture over the bread in the
soup tureen.
Chestnut Soups.
Cook a pint of chestnuts until soft
in milk to cover, then put through a
sleve and season well with salt, pepper
and a bit of onion julce. Serve with
whipped cream over the top.
Clam Bouillon,
and scrub half a peek of
clams, changing the water several
times. Put into a kettle with three
cupfuls of cold water, cover tightly
and steam until the shells are well
opened. Strain the liquor, cool and
clear. Reheat to serve.

THE MIDNIGHT FLYER
as fast as ever I can, and that Is go-
ing very quickly, oh, so very quickly.”
The train was dashing along through
the night. It was often called the
Midnight Flyer, It left its first sta-
tion at a Ifttle before midnight and
it reached its
breakfast time the next morning.
All through the night it went, Just
as quickly as ft could. It only made
three stops and when it stopped it
seemed to keep on puffing and panting
and breathing as though it were out
of breath and yet as though it would
feel better to be off again,
And that was the way it felt,
It was particularly eager to be off
at all times. It wanted to dash
through the dark night. It enjoyed it
above all things,
The engineer would take care of his
duties, so would the brakeman and the
signal
with the train would do everything
each should do.
But the traln would go speeding on
eter te i mt er sae ——ssnn
and the tracks would just be able to
give a flying greeting to the Mid-
night Flyer as it passed rushingly |
along,
The cars all connected with each
other would each follow the other
along the level roads, up hills, down
hills, around curves, wherever the
tracks led.
The lights along the way were sig
nals, at the approach of towns the |
whistle shrieked shrilly, and kept on
“Oh, T must dash along, rush just

Drink Water If
Kidneys Bother
LE
Take a Tablespoonful of Salts If
Back Pains or Bladder is
irritated
—————
Flush your kidneys by drinking a
quart of water each day, also take
salts occasionally, says a noted au-
thority, who tells us that too much
rich food forms acids which almost
paralyze the kidneys in their efforts
to expel it from the blood. They be-
come sluggish and weaken; then you
may suffer with a dull misery in the
kidney region, sharp pains in the
back or sick headache, dizziness, your |
stomach sours, tongue is coated, and |
when the weather is bad you have |
rheumatic twinges. The urine gets |
cloudy, full of sediment, the channels |
often get sore and irritated, obliging |
you to seek relief two or three times |
during the night. |
To help neutralize these irritating |
acids; to help cleanse the kidneys and |
flush off the body's urinous waste, get |
four ounces of Jad Salts from any
pharmacy here: Take a tablespoon- |
ful in a glass of water before break- |
fast for a few days, and your kidneys |
may then act fine. This famous salts |
is made from the acid of grapes and |
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and |
has been used for years to help flush |
and stimulate sluggish kidneys; also |
to neutralize the acids in the system |
so they no longer irritate, thus often |
relieving bladder weakness.
