Today Is Here—W hat Are You Doing With It' Years ago I heard the story of a great author who almost destroyed himself through drink. Time after time he “swore off"—recognizing that the enemy he had entertained so care , lessly was destroying him. But he Lu^er got beyond the satisfaction of THjving to quit drink—and breaking 4 A vows. W*ic morning when his valet brooch Him the daily "pick-me-up." the man said: “Take it away. I've stopped drink inf?. "When, sir?" gasped the badly trained and sadly experienced vaU i "Now," replied the drthKer firmly “Today. Just this minute." In explaining the rerorm that fol lowed, the man who had hitherto ben: so weak, said: "When I heard myself say, ‘I hay stopped’ and It sounded like an al ready accomplished fact. It wasn't so hard. Making up my mind I would stop didn't get me anywhere hut say lng I had already nutt put the thing down so definitely as signed ami seal e<l and delivered that I hadn't nriy trouble.” Today Is your golden key to sue cess. There Is nothing In all your life but “today." Yesterday Is ovi i and done with. You can't get It back oml it lias no power to haunt you un If us you of your own choice give It that power. Tomorrow never comes for ww all know that tomorrow doesn't exist until It arrives and becomes "to day." Too many folks have a righteous sense of accomplishment when they say: "Tomorrow I'll start getting up at 6 30 and I'll be at work at *. . . .To morrow I'll take half an hour for lunch and half and hour to walk and then I'll go back to work with lots of fresh air and vigor In my system. . . .Tomorrow I'll cut out smoking . . .Tomorrow I'll stsrt a courss of x)<l rending.” | V But all those tomorrows nre promls I f sory notes which we often fall to take up. We ask for an extension of time and on we go putting off the moment when we’ll make our lives construc tive Why not as vs your energy— why not cut out the promises—why not cease lying to yourself— and take one actual forwnrd step toward doing «nme of the thinge which will make your Ufa a bigger, better thing—TO UAV. - Officers of Pan-Hellenic Society Miss Florence Rhoades Is president, and Mrs. R.

That water that is boiling hard Is no hotter than water that la boiling gently; ao when your vegetable* or soups start to boil, turn down the burner until they are boiling gen tly and save gas while getting the same results. That It Is not a sign of stinginess to count your change when the cash ier In the store hands it to you. It Is just common sense. But it is down right lack of consideration not to count your dhange until after you have left the cashier’s window and then return to complain. Housewives’ Ideas.

Camp Fire New Summer Camp Opens The new Camp Fire Girls’ summer 'amp at Smith Fake, near Mondamln, la., is delightfully situated at the foot of a ridge of bluffs. The seven points of the bluffs have a strong appeal to the girls at camp this week, bringing to mind the seven points of the law of the fire which every Camp Fire Girl takes when she is admitted to membership. The lake reflects the seven points of the bluffs at Runrise, just like each girl should reflect ehch law in the sunriac of her womanhood. Three beautiful farms face the main road and run to the shore line on the cast of the lake from camp. Autos cannot reach camp, but are parked on the east side of the lake. Boats and a foot bridge at the south end take one into camp, making a very private place fur a girls’ camp. Beautiful I trees, bushes, wild flowers and birds surround us. A new assembly house 32 feet long will he used to replace the old mees tent. This house has a large screened porch, facing the lake, which will be used for a dining room when the weather permits. On each side of the assembly house are four army tents, floored and screened where the girls sleep. These aro arranged on the lake front and some on the hillside. The lake has a fine sandy beach! Swimming and canoeing are the popular sports. The camp opened last Monday, and will be open for eight weeks. Reg istrations should tie made at Camp Fire headquarters, 23 Patterson block. Among the girls in attendatfhe are Dorothy Graham, Pauline Koppell, Ina Kinsey, Harriet Harris, Fasca Arthur, Harriet Richmond, Mary June Taylor, Fuclle Redfield, Mar jorie Moore, Alice Pfeiffer, Pearl Safford, Grace Voss. Kitchen Work Made Easy and Pleasant To remove stains and strong odors from knife blades, rub them with a piece of raw potato.

Then you will know they will not be soggy when served. When you strike the term "beat well'' in a recipe. It means to beat until all the Ingredients are thorough ly mixed together. Piano Keyes. Apply wood alcohol with * damp cloth to the soiled piano keys. All marks will disappear and the al cohol will help keep the keys from turning yellow. Wealthy New Yorker Says European Women Better Off Than Americans French women and European wo men In general are better off than American women. That Is. Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont of New York thinks so. Mrs. Belmont, who Is president of the National Woman's party, has been spending the winter on the Itl vlera. This is part of her evidence In behalf of foreign women: “I saw a French man hand over all his money to his wife and I did not understand and I asked what it all meant,” she said. ‘‘The man said that his wife always took charge of the money, that she would see that It was properly spent, that nothing was wasted and that something was saved. If he kept it, he might spend some of it carelessly, but the wife never would. You would not find an American man doing that; but, then, perhaps the American women are not worthy of it; they might not be so careful and saving. Women assist their husbands in business in France, and they always taka car® of the money. French women have always done it.” IIow many American women would trade places with their European sis ters because of the cheery domestic picture Mrs. Belmont draws? What merit is there In Mrs. Bel mont's observation, anyway? This much at least. The woman with economic Independence, the wo man who handles the money of the family, is certainly better off than the woman who has to cheat from her husband through the grocery bill In order to get a little spending money. But It is pretty *e!l agreed that the American woman of good, or even moderate circumstances, Is the best treated woman on earth. She has leisure and Independence of purse, she has access to good literature, drama and art, she travels, she stands in no fear of husband or humanity in general. In homes where there Is no margin for anything but the absolute neces- * sltles, the husband in more cases thaw not, we believe, turns over his pay check to the wife. She is, when she needs to be, the more careful spend er and has the time for Wore advan tageous shopping. We are inclined to believe that It is the wisdom born of necessity which impels the French man. and the American when he does It, to turn over his earnings to his wife. We do not think it is proof of a more de sirable statue for women In Europe than have the women of America. It merely proves there is more flnap clal duress over there than here. Prune Sandwiches These are quite a novelty and especially good for children. Remove the pits from large French prunes and finely chop; m^x with chopped English walnuts, allowing seven halves of nulmeats to every six prunes, and a half a cup of finely shredded lettuce. Moisten with a boiled di sing to which a teaspoon of honey has ijeen added and spread between buttered slices of whole wheat or graham bread.
