We can always stand a little mora
Always do a llttlo more,
Always try a little mora
Than wo really think.
Effort out of weariness,
Striving out of care,
"Wo can always do a llttlo more
Than we really think our share.
P. McKlnsey.
FOR A DAY'S OUTINQ.
With n package of paper picnic
dishes and paper napkins tho dish
problem Is solved as well
as tho lessening of weight
in tho picnic basket. Tho
coffee may bo mixed and
put Into cheesecloth
sucks nnd an ordinary
water pall with n wlro
handlo will servo for n
coffeo pot so that need
not bo cnrrled. Frank
forts may be roasted In
tho coalB under tho cof
feo pall nnd potatoes and corn as wejl.
Tho salad may bo carried In a ma
Bon Jar for convenience and the lemon
sirup for lemonade for tho young folk
may bo all ready for tho water. That,
too, Is In a sealed mason Jar.
If other meats are desired bcefstenk
may bo broiled or pan broiled on a
heavy sheet of sheet Iron, which Is al
ways a convenient picnic utensil, as
It mny bo used as a stovo top for fry
ing potatoes, griddle cakesjor, In fact,
any number of useful purposes will be
found for It
As every pound counts on a long
tramp, make the baskot as light as pos
sible, and carry no more thun will bo
eaten by sharp nppotltes. Pepper nnd
Bait may bo mixed to carry, and only
,Buah pickles nnd relishes taken as are
Indispensable.
Spoons, knives nnd forks for all,
sandwiches nnd cako, 4f desired, with
the other foods mentioned, will surely
bo a meal of variety and sufllclently
satisfying oven nfter a long walk.
A thermos bottle may be carried
wJth an Iced drink for those who can
not wait for tho end of tho Journey,
and It Is a most comforting friend in
need ns often good drinking water is
hard to get.
Newspapers should be carried In
abundance to put on tho ground for
any of tho party who might bo rheu
raatlc and light wraps which are easily
carried tire often useful. Pasteboard
boxes that may bo burned nro best to
carry tho lunch, nnd tho silver may bo
rolled in a paper to carry and tho
camping grounds left, free from any
rubhlsh.
Chicken and fresh croon corn is an
other most delightful combination
worth trying If It lias never been en
joyed. Uso plenty of cream, butter
and corn around tho chicken, allowing
three-quarters of an hour for tho bak
tag after tho corn is addod.
"We can always lift a little more.
Always shift a little more,
Always toll a llttlo more,
.Than wo thought we could
-F. McKlnsey.
PEACHES FOR WINTER.
Thero are few who can resist the
spicy pickled peach which Is so de
licious served with
tho meat course.
Pickled Peaches.
xnero aro any
number of good
recipes, out we
must bo careful
about the vinegar.
It should bo strong
enough to preserve
nnd give flavor, but too acid a vine
gar will spoil tho fruit. Usuully,xu
little water added to tho vinegar to
dlluto It, using the amount of liquid
required, will Improve It Take two
pounds of brown sugar, a pint of mild
.vlnegnr nnd a tablespoonful each of
cinnamon and cloves; tlo in a muslin
bag, cook 20 minutes, then drop in
toe peaches (that have been rubbed
with a coarse towel to remove the
fuzz,) a few at u time and cook until
soft; drop Into the crock nnd con
tlnuo until nil arc cooked. Cover with
the vinegar leaving the spice bag In
the Jar.
Peach Jam. This is especially fine
flavored, as tho steam is not allowed
to escape, carrying with it much of
the fruit. Pare the peaches and mash
them to a pulp, add two cupfulu of
Bugar to three of the pulp and mix
well; pack Into pint Jars nnd screw
down tho top lightly; placo in a steam
er or any convenienco for cunning and
cook until nil tho Juice Is absorbed
by tho fruit Placo In tho sun for a
day or two and then It will bo ready
to put away.
Peaches for canning should bo Arm
but ripe, placed in tho cans and cov
ored with a hot sirup, then put Into a
boiler of boiling water and allowed to
stand well covered overnight, tho fruit
will keep well and be of fine flavor
and color, A tireless cooker Is a good
convenienco to uso for a small mini
bcr of cans. Tho cans and covers
should be thoroughly sterilizod and
tho rubbers dipped Into boiling water
before being used.
Peach Jelly. Save all tho parings
from tho washed peaches, aua n lew
onnles and cook together, then drain
nnd nrcnaro as usual. Tho apples
will supply the pectin which Is lack
ing in tho applo and tho poaches will
supply tho lluvor which is so much
enjoyed.
Power to think for oneself, power
to understand thpse one does not agree
with these two things arc absolutely
essential to peace, harmony and co
operation In n self-educating and self
governing community. Lyman Abbot.
COUPE, A POPULAR ICE.
Coupes hnvo been called nothing but
inverted collcgo ices. But this mosi
popular frozen dish
lends Itself to nnj
scries of combinations
so tlint ono may by tho
exorcise of tasto hnvo o
variety.
To arrango a coupo,
line n bowl-shaped sher
bet cup with Ico cream,
then add a garnish ol
fruit nnd finish th
structure with piped
or plain whipped crenm. For tho lc
any flavor may bo chosen and the
fruit Is also n matter of taste, always
choosing tliat suitable. Tho cream U
either put through a pastry tube or
dropped by a tablespoon.
Strawberry Ice crenm is especinllj
good for a foundation; fill the glass
three-quarters full of strawberry Ice
cream, on this place large fine ber
ries, cut In halves nnd covered with
sugnr for nn hour or more. Then
top tho coupo with sweetened nnd
flnvored cream. A few drops of
lemon and almond makes a good fla
vor. Or a half a peach that has been
soaked in vanilla sirup for n time
may be placed on tho strawberry Ice
nnd finished ns before.
The flavor of peaches Is especially
good as It Is so delicate and yet so
suggestive that It pervades the whole
dish.
Peaches and Bnr-le-duc currnnts 01
marrons preserved In vnnllla sirup
make n One combination.
Coffee ice cream is another well
liked foundation for a coupe. Line
tho sherbet cup with coffee Ico cream,
then use strawberries or rasnberrlca
as tho next step, let them stand In
sugar for an hour nnd follow with
the whipped crenm garnished with a
largo fresh berry.
Chestnuts or matrons preserved In
various sirups nro always good with
tho coffeo flavor or In combination
with almost any fruit. A lemon sirup
is good with them nnd they may bo
prepared nt homo and bottled for uso,
Tho coupe which starts with peach
Ico crenm may use peaches or plnnp
plo ns the fruit. Pears lightly flavored
with a ginger sirup In which they,
may bo lightly cooked are pleasing
ly used with pench Ico cream.
Thoughts of doubt and fear never
aocompllsh anything and never 'can.
They always lead to failure. Purposo,
energy, powor to do, and all strong
thoughts cease, when doubt and fear
creep In. James Allen.
THE COSMOPOLITAN MINT.
Mint Is eAslIy grown In tho garden
nnd will grow In window gardens
oven In crowded
cities. It Is re
freshing used in
lomonndc, ns
snuce for mcnts,
flavoring for can
dies nnd ices. Be
fore tho frost
comes to destroy
tho plnnts be sura
to make somo mint vinegar. Wash
a bunch nnd place it in a pint of vine
gar, letting It stand for two weeks,
then strain nnd bottle for winter use.
This vlnegnr mny bo used to flavor
fish sauce nnd vnrious dishes.
Candled Mint Leaves. Tnko fresh
perfect mint leaves, wnsh nnd shake
dry. Pick tho leaves from tho stalks
und lay on a cloth to dry. Put a
cupful of sugnr and a half cupful of,
water on to boll, let It boll without
stirring for four minutes from tho
time, It bolls. Let it cool slightly,
then dip tho leaves one by ono nnd
lny thoiri on a wnxed paper; after all
have been dipped begin with tho first
ones nnd dip again, dust with granu
lated sugar, shaking off nil that doca
not adhere; spread out to dry. Spread
the sugar on a plato and draw tho
lenves gently through tho sugar.
Mint Jelly. This Is Jelly well liked
to servo with meats. Prepare npplea
for Jelly and drop in n bunch of mint
while cooking. Then ns each gloss la
filled, add a small sprig of mint to
harden in tho Jelly.
Mint Sherbet. A cupful of mint
leaves dropped into a quart of wnto
dnd a pint of sugar when boiling
hot, lot tho sirup boll for five min
utes, then remove tho mint, add a cup
ful of lemon Juice, two tnblespoonfuls
of softened gelatin, add to tho mix
ture and when thoroughly dissolved,
freeze Serve in sherbet cups with
a sprig of mint to garnish each.
Olngor nlo served with n sprig ol
mint, well chilled, makes a delightful
drink. Servo with small ginge
cookies. Mint should be dried for
winter uso if thero Is no window gar
den in which to grow It. A fovr
drops of peppermint will tako the
placo of tho fresh mint in making
candles.
In Woman's Realm

SERGE STREET
The first of tho new ready-made !

chants throughout tho country aro
looking over tho sample lines of nianu
fncturcrs. So far thero Is llttlo chnngo
in tho lines of street suits from thoso
of tho passing season. Many of tho
new models show nn increased length
of skirt, and coats also aro somowhat
longer. Tho inspiration of many smart
models appears to como from tho Rus
sian blouse and this Is n matter for
gratitude.
In the conservative and beautifully
tailored suit shown above, n model hns
been ovolved thnt Is becoming to both
slender nnd stout figures. The cont
Is neatly adjusted over tho shoulders
and vaguo in fit about the waistline
with a full nnd long peplum. A very
clever management of the underarm
portion jjives n trim look to tho fig

kind nro set In n row of four on each

Serge is tho favorite material for
fall suits although the other stand
ard weaves of cloth aro not neglect

over on the collar It is the only fab
ric used in tho suit shown. There Is n
surmlso that skirts may be narrower
as the season grows older, but no ono

There nro slips of satin nnd.tnffetu

part of tho midsummer wnrdrobc. But
many women prefer slips or petticoats
of muslin, that aro exquisitely clean

to be cool and thick enough to provide
sufficient covering. Sometimes n plnln
pottlcout or slip of net is worn over
them, if tho-frock is sheer enough to bo

making an airy background for lingerie
or other gauzy dresses.

OPEN AIR
WORK
By REV. HOWARD W. POPE
Moody Bible ImtltuU,
Cbloaso
THXT (Jo ye , , , preach tho Gospel to
ivory creature. Mark 18:15.
With tho coming of summor church
ludlences begin to dwindle, nnd stroots
and parks begin
to swarm with
people. Nnturo
spreads her car
pet of groon, and,
tho air Is soft and
balmy. Tho birds
sing, tho flowors
bloom and ovory
thing scorns to
say : "Como out
nnd onjoy llfo
with us." Why
should wo try to
roslst this plead
ing nnd Insist on
holding nil our re
ligious sor vices
indoors simply be
cause wo always havo deno It?
Many a church would doublo Its nu
dlcnco by holding an occasional serv
Ico out of doors, under tho trees or In
somo adjacent park. If chairs can bo
provided, bo much tho better. If not
lot tho peoplo sit on tho grass as they
did when Josus preached. If tho church
has no convonlout placo for outdoor
tnootlngs, hold an open nlr scrvlco on
tho porch beforo tho evening meeting,
Havo plenty of good singing with twe
or thrcQ-ralnuto addresses sandwiched
botwoon, nnd in a llttlo whllo tho chil
dren will gather, tho passers will stop,
tho currlnges will drlvo up and you
will havo a largo company of peoplo,
many of whom would nover think of
entering a church. If you havo nover
tried It, begin this Benson.
Every church ought to havo n band
of open air workers to hold meetings
regulurly nil summer, at such points ns
may seem most strategic. Somo
churches gain from fifty to u hundred
now members ench year by their open-
air work in tho summer. And oven if
they did not ndd a single convert, thoy
would bo well repnld for tho offort
In tho bonoflr obtained by tho work
ers. Then too it affords an outlet for
tho zeal aud faith nnd energy of tho
church.
Open-nlr workers should bo careful
ly trained, for no work requires moro
tnct, nnd wisdom, nnd holy boldness.
Tho following suggestions nro taken
from n book written by n very dear
friend of mlno, Henry B. Glbbud. Tho
book is cnllcd, "Under tho Bluo Can
opy of IleaVcn," and can bo had for
DO cents of Mrs. II. B. Glbbud, Spring
flcld, Mass.
"Permit In towns and cities It is
necessary to obtain a permit for Btrcot

apply for tho permit. A politician Is
botter for tins work than a preachor.

"Select n placo whoro you hnvo n

bo that you may also havo n building

speak in tho open nlr, und a building
in front of you to throw tho volco buck
will mnko It much easier.
"Talk with tho wind always and
nover against it.
"Select n placo whoro tho audlcnco

"Call for decision nt tho close of tho

By offering to glvo away Gospel

Tho Two Dimensions.
Tho tempornry pulpit orator had
preached n very long sermon. Even
ho realized that ho had exceeded the
modern limit of sermons, nnd ho said

"I hopo I did not worry you by the
length of my sermon."
"Not at all," said tho gentleman,
"nor by its depth."
What Impressed Her.
Shortly nfter Will Crooks, tho labt
leader, was elected to parliament, says
an English weekly, ho took his little
daughter to Westminster. Sho was
evidently nwed at tho splendors around
her, nnd maintained a profound and
wondering silence all tho tlmo, Mr.
Crooks was much Impressed.
"Well," said ho to her at last, 'Svhat
aro you thing so deeply about dear?"
"I was thinking daddy," answered
tho llttlo girl, "that you'.ro a big man In
our kitchen, but you aren't very much
here."
Often tho spirit of perseverance
strikes a man hnrdest when ho la in

Everybody needs it

well-developed, well-preserved,
well - nourished
body and brain.
Grape-Nuts food stands
preeminent as a builder of
this kind of energy. It is
made of the entire nutri
ment of whole wheat and
barley, two of the richest
sources of food strength.
Grape-Nuts also includes
the vital mineral elements of
the grain, so much emphasized
in these days of investigation
of real food values.
Crisp, ready to eat easy to
digest, wonderfully nourishing
and delicious.
