KNITTING FOR HUNGRY SOLDIERS
Catherine was taken to a nearby
camp to see the soldiers. She was
much impressed and since her visit
has been untiring in asking ques
tions about them. One morning her
mother entered the room just in
time to see her busily ripping her
sweater which she had just about
* finished for the Red Cross. To her
startled cry of “Catherine, what are
you doing?” her small daughter
calmly answered, “I knitting for the
hungry soldiers.”
A PROCESS OF REASONING.
“Mister,” said the small boy, “di<l
you buy anv Liberty bonds?”
“What business is that of yours?”
“Well, I guess if you don’t know
what business it is of min?, you don’t
know what business it is of yours and
everybody else’s. So I may just as
well take it for granted that you
dreamed on and didn’t buy.”
CAUSE AND EFFECT.
Nip—Do you think it.pays to re
cover an umbrella?
Tuck—I don’t think it pays to
lose one in the first place.—The
Lamb.
WELL FIXED.
“Reginald 1”
“Yes, dear?”
“Sugar is getting scarce.”
“Quite so. I’m glad I have you,
sweetness.”

Bess—What do you think of that
for a tightwad? Jim has paid his
hotel bill in advance for fear he’ll
spend all he has on us girls.
DELICIOUS CORN MUFFINS.
Here’s an old fashioned recipe for
corn muffins that has recently been
revived and used with unusual success
in several of the larger New York ho
tels : To make three and a half dozen
muffins take one quart milk, six ounces
butter substitute, twelve ounces of
light syrup or honey, four eggs, pinch
of salt, two ounces baking powder,
one and a half pounds cornmeal and
one and a half pounds rye flour. The
butter and syrup should be thoroughly
mixed; then add the eggs gradually.
Pour in the milk and hdd the rye flour
mixed with cornmeal and baking pow
der.
WAR YARNS.
“Have you any war yarns ?” asked
the lady entering the department
store.
“Surely, madam,” replied the
floorwalker.
“In which direction will I find the
proper department?”
“Do you want them for reading
or knitting, madam?”
Keep to the right!
Plant that garden.
