And to trust himself he must believe in him self. It may be hard for you to rely on your own judgment when others tell you that your ment is wrong. But if you believe that your judgment is right you should act upon i Any unusual proposal on your part, for stance, will meet with the unrea bout you soning opposition of tl Many will oppose it 1 they did not think « yecause Ives o1 because they have energy to carry it o I remember once that when 1 was dissatisfied with the was ge ting I decided to ask for a twenty-five dollar a week raise, cout on actual ly getting fifteen. 1 8 7 teen, I told my friends, I was going 10k for another job. * * * * * * * Immediately I was b y a storm of pessimistic advice ield was limited, they said, I might be un- able to get another Detfer stick to what I had and Any- way, twenty-five dollars was an unheard-of demand. The boss would probably throw me out of the office. These ecroakers did not know the situation nearly as well as I did, of course. I knew my own abilities and I had a pretty good idea of what the boss thought of them. I also knew that I was fed up on be underpaid and that T would about as soon quit as not. But did the fact that they were not qualified to give good ad- vice deter any of these mity howl- ers? Not at all. one of them hesitated to give me the benefit of his ignorance and inexperience. * * * * * * * The affair turned out as such affairs usually do. My judgment proved bet ter than theirs. It may seem difficult to rely on your own ability and judgment when every- body around you opposes it, Dut con- fidence is born of experience. When you have learned your trade thoroughly there is no reason in the world why you should be afraid to stand on your own feet. Nobody can know as much about yourself as you do. And nobody else is as well qualified to make your de- cisions as you are. Every successful man is self-reliant in his own calling. He does not de- pend on the advice of others. You must trust yourself if you ex- pect to succeed. (Copyright.) mtciirtemi Jimmarsimten GIRUGIGL (Copyright. 1927. by The Bell Syndicate.

What great possessions are yours, May the gold within you be a blessing to all the world—you cannot be too lavish with it; keep giving it away; put it out at intervals and it will double its value in a short time.” SEASONABLE DISHES I WE do not make vegetables both edible and attractive we will have to admit that we do not know how to cook. Unless we conserve every bit of their food value and are fa- miliar with t!eir composition, we can- not develop it by cookery. “The really efficient cook wastes nothing, neither the vegetable itself, the water in which it is cooked, nor even parings or tops.” The vast ma- jority are far ‘rom being really effi- cient. Scalloped Beans. Jutter a baking dish and add two cupfuls of white sauce, or tomato sauce, four cupfuls of cooked string beans, a little onion finely chopped. Cover with buttered crumbs and bake thirty minutes in a moderate oven. Roulade de Boeuf. Take a pound of cold roast beef, free it from skin, bone and gristle; put it through a meat grinder with one-third of a pound of ham or bacon. Season highly with salt and pepper, add a teaspoonful of finely minced olives, a few drops of tabasco sauce, one tea- spoonful of minced parsley, a grating of lemon peel and a pinch of nutmeg. Mix all together and add one-half cup- ful of cooked macaroni cut into one- inch lengths and tossed in butter. Add two beaten eggs. Mix well and roll, cover with greased paper and bake in a well-greased baking pan in a mod- erate oven one-half hour. Serve with the following sauce: Add salt and pepper to a pint of tomatoes which have been put through a sieve. Add a teaspoonful of sugar, a tablespoonful of vinegar, a teaspoonful of onion juice, or one-half of a clove of garlic minced. Cook until reduced in bulk and slightly thick.

Gees How It Started By JEAN NEWTON “LIBRARY” Yok dictionary will tell you that “library” comes from the French “librairie,” a bookseller’s shop, derived from “librairie,” a bookseller. But this is only the preamble to the story. In the First and Second centuries, A. D., there was great stimulation In Rome in the use of books, and to meet the increasing demands the booksellers conceiv:d of a method of speedier pro- duction than had been possible with the old system of scribes copying one at a time. The enterprising dealers assembled a score or two of scribes, most of whom were well educated slaves, and had them all write at once at the dictation of one reader. So doz. us of copies could be made in the time that had formerly produced but one. The scribes who prepared the manu- scripts were known as “librarii,” and since 1a. booksellers themselves did the copying which produced their wares, the name was applied also to the dealers in books. It is from this beginning that we have the word “li- brary,” its intermediate derivation be- ing from the French “librairie,” a bookseller’s shop. (Copyright.)
