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.”

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

That It Is not a sign of stinginess
to count your change when the cash

Is just common sense. But it is down
right lack of consideration not to

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.
If the walls that have been white
washed are rubbed down with vinegar,
paper will adhere to them.
Heat the potato chips In the oven
for a few minutes. 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

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.
