| COUNTING l
| OUR WEALTH |
6 By Douglas Malloch. 9
<k>o<kkkk>o<k><><>ckxk><kk><><><kkk>
OME, count our wealth, good wife;
L-4 How rich we are, we two.
We have the gift of life,
You me, and I have you.
The children, girls, a boy,
And one who waits beyond-—
What hearts have so much joy
As hearts so fond?
Come, count our wealth again;
How rich we are, indeed:
A roof to shed the rain,
And friends to help in need,
And work for my two hands,
For which the world will pay,
No gems, no gold, no lands,
But love each day.
Come, count our wealth, my dear;
How rich we are, withal:
One Light forever near,
Whatever shadows fall.
These are the gold God meant
These and the gift of health.
Yes, if we’re discontent,
Come, count our wealth.

j KNOWING THE TREES I
^****************************************************
WHITE ASH
Fraxinus Americana.
A COMMON large tree, GO to 80
AL feet high, with gray, furrowed
bark, smooth grayish-green branch-
lets, and rusty-colored buds. The
leaves of ash appear late in the spring
and fall early in the autumn. There
are 7 to 9 leaflets (usually 7), smooth
and dark green on the surface and
silvery-white underneath.
The White Ash has many insect
enemies but is exceptionally free from
destructive diseases.
There are two traditions which fol-
low the ash tree. One is that a snake
will never glide beneath its branches
or rest under its shade. The other is
the peculiar liability of the ash to be
struck by lightning and this belief
is embalmed in ancient folk-lore
rhymes.
The North American Indian made
his bow and paddle from the wood
of the White Ash and today it is most
extensively used in the manufacture
of agricultural implements.

''Women aren't satisfied with every-
thing money can buy them nowadays,"
says Knowing Nora, "They want everyf
thing credit can buy."

Artistic Manuscripts
Illuminated manuscripts are those
whose texts are brightened and
heightened by vignettes and otherwise
decorated in colors or in gold and
silver. Fifteen centuries before Christ
the papyrus rolls of the Book of the
Dead were illuminated with brilliant-
ly colored scenes. Later, as writing
became alphabetic, the important let-
ters were illuminated.

In a little precious stone what splendor
meets the eyes:
In a little lump of sugar how much
of sweetness lies:
So in a little woman love grows and
multiplies:
You recollect the proverb says: “A
word unto the wise.”
—Juan Ruiz De Hita.
I? OR the mother or housewife who
* has a horde of youngsters apt to
drop in at any moment for a quick
sandwich or lunch, it is necessary that
she be insured against a flat larder.
She is looking for something new in
taste, in shape or style, that will ap-
peal to the fancy. Something that
may be quickly prepared without the
necessity of elaborate table setting
and serving as well as something tak-
ing a minimum of time and expense
iu getting ready. A meal is not need-
ed or expected, just a good mouthful
of something tasty with a drink to go
with it is all that is desired, summer
or winter.
The tiny cream puffs filled with
any good concoction like fish, chicken
or any creamed meat small enough to
make two bites; tiny turnovers, crou-
stades, or small bits of pastry holding
tasty bits of good things are all at-
tractive and satisfying.
Olives wrapped in bacon and fried
are delightful appetizers with a sand-
wich.
Fruit salads, fruit cocktails, fruit
compotes, are nice sweets to end the
snack.
Small rolls, hot, filled with caviar
or less expensive spiced ham, sardines
mixed with a bit of lemon, little flakes
of roquefort with finely minced celery,
a spot of onion or salad dressing—all
kinds of fillings will suggest them-
selves to the average food lover.
Grilled Sardines.
Under a broiling flame grill large
sardines that have been skinned, and
season with a dash of lemon juice.
Spread fingers of toast or crisp bis-
cuits with butter and made mustard
and serve the sardines on the toast
or biscuit.
Tomato Appetizers.
Cut rounds of bread one-fourth inch
thick and toast -or saute. Over the
toast place a very thin slice of Span-
ish onion, sprinkling it with salt and
pepper. Over the onion put a thin
slice of ripe tomato, sprinkle lightly
with salt, pepper and a very little
powdered sugar. Cover the tomato
with a generous layer of grated cheese
or a rarebit mixture and set in a hot
oven until the cheese melts.
Delicious Fish Sauce.
Mix together the juice and grated
rind of a lemon, two tablespoonfuls
of sugar and the well beaten yolks
of two eggs. Add gradually to one
cupful of strained fish stock which
has been placed in a double boiler
over the heat. Stir constantly until
the mixture thickens. Pour the sauce
over the fish. The stock may be ob-
tained by saving the juices when
broiling.
with lemon juice, a dash of paprika
and a few drops of onion juice.
Scramble as many eggs as are re-
quired and when nearly done, stir in
the anchovy mixture. Serve on toast
with tart fruit or some relish.

Twain Much Like Other
After-Dinner Speakers
Chicago can claim credit for a fa-
mous Mark Twain story that has been
going the rounds for years and is still
good.
Twain was one of the more or less
distinguished persons present in Ha-
verly’s theater here on the evening of
November 12, 1S79, when General
Grant, fresh from his trip around the
world, sat through several hours of
speeches in his honor.
This person and that was called for
by the chairman and by the audience,
and finally a shout went up for Mark
Twain. The general indicated that he
would like to hear the writer, and
Clemens was persuaded to get up. Aft-
er a few bantering remarks, he ex-
cused himself with the remark that:
“I never could make a good Im-
promptu speech without several hours
to prepare it.”—Chicago Evening Post.
Indian Trails
The Indians probably followed trails
already made by bisons. These ani-
mals required salt. This was far from
their grazing grounds. In their jour-
neys to and from salt licks, these
herds found the lowest passes across
mountains and the easiest going.
Red Indian Pronunciation
A great many American Indian lan-
guages do not use the sound of B.
The famous Aztec language of Mexico
does not have it and the majority of
North American Indians are unable
to pronounce the sound. However,
some Indian languages have the B,
for example the Jarnez tongue of New
Mexico has a perfect B, and in Cali-
fornia the Pomo Indians, the most ex-
pert basket makers in the world, have
it. A good example of a proper name
beginning with B is Bagil, a woman
heroine in Pomo mythology about
whom stories are told. Her name is pro-
nounced Bahgeel.—Washington Star.
Milk Complete Food
Milk is a complete food in itself, as
it contains nitrogenous elements in
the form of casein and albumen, fat
as cream, milk sugar, salts and water.
It is believed that it would support
human life indefinitely, although such
an experiment has not been made.
the predicament of a hunter carrying
home a ghink on suddenly noticing his
sack grow light and hearing a splash
of water on the ground.
The whiskers are the most difficult
part of the ghink and must be made
by splitting the quill of a small chick-
en feather and fastening each half on
the, sides of the large filbert which
serves for a head. The body is a pol-
ished paper-shell pecan, to which are
fastened a toothpick neck and a spa-
ghetti tail. The ears and feet are
cloves.

Ginger and Orange Marmalade Sand-
wiches.
Spread thinly sliced boston brown
bread that has been steamed in half-
pound baking power cans with but-
ter and orange marmalade. Cover
half the slices with preserved ginger
drained from the can. Press together
in pairs and arrange on a dainty doily
covered basket. Serve with punch or
any of the fruit beverages.
Poached Eggs With Caviar.
Toast as„ many slices of bread as
required. Butter, cover with a layer
of caviar mixed with one-fourth part
chopped onion. Season with salt and
pepper. Place the poached eggs on
each; serve hot.
Scrambled Eggs With Anchovies.
Allow one anchovy to two eggs. Rub

I Why Fussing and Fuming Is Slow Suicide
I By JEAN NEWTON
NEWS dispatch from Vienna tells
how a man’s impatience with a
collar button drove him to attempt
suicide.
Fritz Mimmler, for that is his name,
tried to jump, we learn, from the win-
dow of his third-floor flat. A police-
man who frustrated his attempt was
told by the chauffeur, for that was
his occupation, that he had tried five
times to fasten his collar. Finally the
stud fell out and rolled out of sight,
whereupon he decided to end it all
by committing suicide!
It would seem that this chauffeur
in Vienna lacked a proper sense of
values! The phrase "your money or
your life” is regarded as an obvious
joke—because the two commodities

cannot appropriately be mentioned in
the same breath! How absurd then
to say "my life for a collar button!”
(And yet, while we do not do it
so directly as jumping out of the win-
dow at the very moment of difficulty,
we all of us commit suicide over mat-
ters of no more real significance in
our lives than a collar button!
For when we fuss and fume and
work ourselves into a rage we are
most certainly committing suicide—
though slow suicide. We are in fact
damaging ourselves in a way that is
likely to involve more suffering than
merely committing suicide in one leap.
Such passing difficulties as the
naughtiness of a child, or the trying
ways of the aged, or the impositions
of tradesmen, or the ingratitude of
friends, or the perverseness of ser-
vants, or changes in the weather—
none of these are more significant or
fundamental or important than a re-
calcitrant collar button.
Yet we commit suicide—slow sui-
cide, and therefore more painful-
over them. Don’t we?

T T ERE you see the animal with the
■LI peculiar hairy growths on the
side of the face that originated the
once-popular "galloway” whiskers.
Living among the peat bogs of Ireland,
these come in handy in brushing off
the muck from his shiny coat. He is
a sad creature, being continually in
tears over the down-trodden country-
men, and when captured must be han-
dled very carefully or he will com-
pletely dissolve into tears. Imagine

Noted English Writer
Won’t “Play” Typewriter
When I was in London in 1928 John
Galsworthy showed me the manu-
scripts of nearly all his books. He
cannot dictate and cannot play the
typewriter; thus they are all in pen
and ink, and their commercial value
must he prodigious. i
Prof. Carlton Wells of the Univer-
sity of Michigan calls my attention
to an article in a review, quoting
the Manchester Guardian, as follows:
"They are worth a small fortune
and they are certain to appreciate
greatly in years > come. No other
English writer, with the possible ex-
ception of Shaw, has such a vogue
abroad, and almost every month sees
an advance in the prices of his first
editions.
“Galsworthy is one of the few
modern authors who write everything
in their own hand. He once told
me that he found it impossible to
think with a typewrite: in front of.
him, and he raised his eyes in mock
horror when I mentioned the dicta-
phone.
“In liis study at Hampstead all
his manuscripts aYe carefully pre-
served in a row of red morocco boxes
shaped like book covers. Those he
has presented to thy British museum
are to be seen in the Greville room.”
—William Lyon Phelps in Sjcribner's
Magazine.
Improvement Suggested
Sonny liad played liis first game
of miniature golf, not too well. Hia
mother asked him how he liked it,
and he replied: “It would be just
fine if they would only make the
holes a little larger!”
BAD COLD?
UPSET? “ACHY”.
If a bad cold is making you feel fe-
verish, upset, and “achy”—don’t de-
lay! Take Lax-ana (double strength)
and get overnight results. This amaz
ing prescription is wonderful. It con
tains the best cold medicines know
to medical science together with ef
fective laxatives; and acts as a toni
and appetizer as well as a quick, sur
remedy for colds. Costs less per dose
does more per dose. Your money bac‘
if it doesn’t help you. Sold at drii
stores everywhere.
