The Tragedy of Borrowing Tomorrows
Onions, cabbages, parsnips and car
rots are among the best of winter
vegetables.
Extra deep pudding pans, pie plates
and the like are preferable to shallow
ones.
A glass measuring cup and glass
lemon squeezer should be found in
every kitchen.
If you use cleaning powder for
saucepans be sure to wash out the
pan afterward with cold water.
Suet crust spread with jam or pre
serves and rolled up before steam
ing makes a delicious roly-poly.
A suet crust steamed for an hour
on top of a plain, well-seasoned meat
stew is very good and wholesome.
Instead of rolling the dry bread to
make crumbs try putting them
through the meat grinder. It does
the work beautifully and quickly.
Finely chopped suet in puddings or
"crusts" will often be eaten by chil
dren who need fat but who cannot be
persuaded to touch fat meat.
When "white shoes look gray and
shabby they can be made a pretty

and then apply two coats of the mix
ture with a piece of clean flannel.
Of Interest to Women
Women school , teachers of New
By ADELAIDE KENNERLY.
I WOULD not, if I could, know what the future holds in store for me.
Since the knowledge would rob me of the essence of doubt's supremest
ecstacy. There is nothing half so fascinatiag as that fairy, phantom
lure of the mysteries of each Tomorrow, kept in secret, and secure.
To strive and to wish and to wonder what Fate has for me is a beauti
ful part of Nature's great plan and just as it should be.
There are many wild strokes and surprises; there are pleasures, joys
and pain, that arrive with the dawn of each Today and they never come
back again.
Fortune-tellers wreak havoc; they twist Nature's plan eschew; they
can only mislead and deceive you, for none but God tells it true.
There is a sweetness in the mystery that turns bleak December
gloom into the gladnes of springtime, and May days all abloom.
Remember that Today is Yesterday's Tomorrow; Tomorrow 'twill be
Yesterday. Why try to corral a Tomorrow? Just wait it will be a Today.
The greatest of grief and heartaches, and the deepest of all deep sor
rows, never really happen at all, but are borrowed from some Tomorrow.

Nebraska young women who are
responding to the government's call
for stenographers and clerks are be

Thousands of young women are
crowding into Washington at this
time in. response to the urgent need.
Mrs. George Norris, wife of Senator
Norris, has assumed charge of the
Nebraska girls working for Uncle
Sam. as chairman of the special com
mittee of Nebraska women. She will
see that the girls are properly housed.
that they are not lonesome, and that
they are thoroughly comfortable and
happy.
Word comes from Washington that
a great many more women are need
ed for office work. The Nebraska
committee urges that girls who are
trained for the work make applica
tion at once, and those who have not
the required training undergo instruc
tion at once. The entrance salary
ranges from $1,000 to $1,200 a year.

Applicants must have reached their
eighteenth birthday. Application

The golden treasure of happiness.

No man ean understand.
Her lips said "yes," but her heart

'Twas a trifling thing that he won

But he missed the "no" and he

That love was lost by a clumsy band.

But a woman's heart and a woman's

No man can understand.
