CHICAGO I don’t know that I would make the salt that my bread demands, but this sort of weather makes me wish for a Job in somebody’s cotton patch. It is not enough for me to simply be in the sunshine and fresh air, I want motion and at the end of the day I like to fool myself into thinking something has been accomplished. These autumn woods are beautiful and the haze that envelops this part of the world these Indian summer days brings memories of days so long past that one is not sure how much was real ity or the gilding of imagination. Cotton field, to me, are things of beau ty be the season what it may. My brother" had acres and acres planted. The house set on a hill that gave a my heart for the boy or girl who has she turned her eyes to the woods where a white road shone like a ribbon wind ing among the shrubbery and across a stream with a most picturesque foot log, or looked in another direction at the “forest primeval” containing beech, oak, and sweetgum trees too tall and ( stately to be lightly considered as : any- ihing but inonarchs. My favorite scene was the cotton field, in the first scene the long, long rows as smooth and straight as my lady’s vegetable garden later the tiny thread of green that showed the' bursting of the black seeds. The women and men chopping and sing ing as they worked was interesting. Then the sleek mules and careful plow men pulverizing the soil added life to a vividly investing scene. The first boll was an event, then in early morn ing acres of deep cream blossoms chang ing as the. day grew older into crimson proved a pleasant scene to eyes tired by too near proximity to walls and win dows. The first boll, the first bale and the line of wagons coming from the fields piled with the result of the day’s work, or the deep body made by bag ging and packed with cotton for the gin, arly or all of them proved fascinat ing. I always have a sort of regret in picture to any nature lover, whether lived in the country and has failed to see the beauties of God's handiwork. Truly, “the heavens declare the glory ot God, and the firmament showeth His handiwork,” and there never has seemed to me a time that a look to the hills would not comfort one. I once worked with a young woman who had been raised in a boarding school, the nearest to real home life that she had enjoyed had been during her vacations, and that was marred by the big empty rooms and the work her parents had to do toward getting things in shape for the next school year, individual flower bed, no back yard with its sand pile or play house, or well dug with miniature garden tools, no pets of any description, and later there was j the deprivation of a place to ask her : company and feel like it was her very ! own. I don’t believe that any girl en- ; joys any one thing more than her par lor and the young people who drop In there. That is one thing I deeply regret about girls and boys coming to the city and stopping at boarding houses, be they what they may. At home a care ful mother knows what is going on without seeming, in the least, to spy or pry into affairs. Her presence among her daughter's guests is an accepted fact, and it does not take more than fif teen oV twenty minutes to “size up” the trend of thought and skillfully turn it in a healthy channel if that mother has be§n fortunate enough to have been trained ' by the right sort herself. If she has not, it is high time for her to get busy and fit herself for the honor able position as counsellor and most in timate friend of her daughter, or her son. only the tilings chat appeal to them and grow into anemic and nervous wrecks. I saw a boy with his arm in a sling. A younger brother rather proudly told me that it made four times some bone had been broken since he had started to school. Somehow the fact hung in my mind and a few' days later I met the boy's cousin and asked tier what was the matter with Guy’s bones. She did not answer for a moment then said: “I never thought of anything being the matter with him, nor has his mother. We have always said that he certainly was careless, or unlucky.” I asked what he ate, and the answer was not much of anything except tea and toast, some times a little soup, or if she had straw berry jam he would eat that with hot bread. She said he seldom ate fruit and never tasted any cereal. Think of a boy going to school after a breakfast of tea and buttered toast. He learned the trick from his grandfather. What I said put them to thinking and the doctor has given them a diet for Master Guy and he must eat that in stead of taking the tonic from the drug store. ’leachers, see what you can do about the cooking club.

I wish I could use all of the splendid letters that have come to Evelyn Dare.^ She will soon decide on the two that seem best to her and then the prizes will be in order. What do you think about organizing cooking clubs in connection with your schools? It seems to me that these win ter days would be the very time to prac tice cooking by having certain girls, or boys if they like the work, cook some thing hot for the school lunch. Oil stoves or fireless cookers could easily be bought by a concert, spelling bee or debate, and a simple course of domestic science would be a splendid break among the three R’s. If I had a flying ma chine I’d like nothing better than to go from school to school, say three days at each, and help get things started. Cook ing is a fine art, the man with very small wages, as well as the millionaire, is very dependent on his cook, for poorly cooked food means indigestion and final failure. While laws are being formed to prevent the marriage of the physical ly and mentally unfit there might be a clause concerning the wife’s knowledge of domestic science and hygiene.

COMFORT FOB THE NEGLECTED. Dear Miss Thomas: After having read Evelyn Dare’s letter in The Semi-Week ly Journal, I desire to write a few lines in part answer to the question. There are so many different opinions as to what would constitute true happiness and contentment. I think it a hard question. I have always thought that the mar ried state is most natural for matured man and woman and the only way wherein they could be the most useful and happy. But there seems to be as much or more discontent among the married as among the single people. Judging from the divorce suits, suicides and murders committed along that line. This should not be. What is the^trou- ble? Are they mismatched or misled or have they changed the laws of God and their own nature? Have they, men and women, departed from the good old way and gone out into other spheres, such as politics, clubs, playhouses, growing tired of the care and responsi bility of rearing families? When God drove Adam and Eve from the garden- of Eden He gave them a law by which they should be governed. The woman should bear children and the man should rule over her. How does that take in 1913 A. D.? Some seem to think there are higher duties for them to perform than being mothers of fam ilies and looking well to their house hold. If there is any difference be tween a discontented old maid and a dissatisfied wife I think the latter is worst. There must be more pleasure in the old maid’s life than with those “unevenly yoked,” with a dissipated or otherwise worthless man, one always pulling in the wrong direction and at last she must realize that she had cast her pearls before swine. God said that it was not good for man to be alone, so he made him a help mate (not a ruler), The true woman and wife looks to husband, for support and comfort, ever willing to minister to his welfare and happiness. Together they walk the pathway of life as one agreed on all that is good and uplifting, living a Christian life to the hour of their Creator. Then, and only then, can they realize the sweetness of life. Then their children can rise up and call them blessed. Such a union would bing happiness akin to the “peace that pass- eth all understanding.” I know of no better way for the old maid to spend her life than in teaching 'school, but the question is: would she be satisfied? This can oe answered only by herself. With the knowledge of having faithfully discharged her duty to God, herself and all with whom she chanced to meet and the nope that the world is better by her having lived in it. Sometime, somewhere she will be satisfied. Though in this life she has missed much that she dreamed of, ne doubt, she has missed many heart aches that she neVter, never dreamed of. The little flower grows by the wayside and is seldom noticed, but it blooms just as bright, sending out its fragrance just the same as if it grew in a king’s garden surrounded by many ad mirers, is part of God’s creation fulfill ing its mission. So, let this thought teach us to do the best we can and be contented with our lot. OLD MAIDS FRIEND. whole story is told in the title, which has been chosen for our lesson today. “Abstinence for the sake of others.” There is many a man who feels that he can do this, that or the other without any harm to himself, and possibly with some benefit to himself, and that he has a perfect right to do as he pleases, which in a way, may be granted, but when it is taken into consideration that it is not for himself only, but for oth ers also that he must think, he realizes that certain things that he allows in fiis life must be prohibited. OUR ACCOUNTABILITY. The passage which has been selected tc guide our thoughts is taken from part of the letter to the Romans in which Paul is making the practical ap plications of the great truth that he has set forth in the first part in such a masterful way. The question arose amongst the Christians of Rome, to whom he was writing, as to whether or not they should be vegetarians only, or whether it was permissible for them to eat meat as well. There were some who maintained that they had a perfect lib erty to drink wine, whereas others con tended they should not. It was in dis cussing this problems with them that he puts all people into two classes: the weak and the strong. The strong man realizes that he can eat anything.' The weak man thinks that he must not eat meat, but must confine himself to a veg etarian diet. Paul classes himself with the strong in maintaining the liberty of eating what he pleases, but because of the fact that there also are those who he classes weak, he maintains that he must take them into consideration in de ciding what he himself shall do. There was a tendency for those who ate meat to criticise very severely those who were merely vegetarians, and there was an equal tendency on the part of the vegetarians to criticise severely the meat eaters. Paul condemns this, point ing out that we have no right to judge any man’s servants whose services are accountable to his own master, not to us, and since we are servants of God, we have no right to judge anyone else for anything of this kind, for we are accountable to God. The other man is also accountable to God. God will judge each one of‘us. So then we should be very careful ourselves to live so that our way may be pleasing in God’s sight. In this sense, it is none of our business what our brother does. In this sense, we* must look to our own way, not tc? his. RIGHTS OR RESPONSIBILITY. However, as he points out, we must appreciate that our lives are so inter locked with others’ lives, that none of us liveth to himself, nor does any one of use die to himself. Every act of yours m m-M § -4 49 t 43 TKANfcSt'4 & :&3kl» iSBjrjU Ill'll mb 1 go to the theater, or to play cards, or to dance, or to do any one of a number of other things, we must not endanger the other man by anything that we allow in our lives. While I have a perfect right to do anything, because I am a free man, 'I am also in a sense responsi ble for my brother’s actions, since my life necessarily influences his life. While I have a right to do a thing, I must realize that in exercising that right I am taking upon myself a terri ble responsibility. Since in the exercic- ! ing of my liberty I influence the weaker ; brother to do something which will j harm him even though what I do does ; not harm me, I am destroying him for whom Christ died and making of no ef fect in that sense the sacrificial work of Him who loved us and gave Himself for us. The kingdom of God is some thing greater than the gratification of an appetite. It is joy and peace in the Holy Ghost. So' then in exercising ray liberty I must do that which will make for peace, and which will build my brother up, making him strong, wherein he was weak before, and thus assisting the work of Christ, rather than destroy ing it. LOVE LIMITS. This is the sum of this whole ques tion—Love Limits. While I have a perfect right to do anything, if I have in my heart anything o{ that love for my fellow-man that Jesus Christ had, I will be more than willing to refrain from doing that which will harm him, even though I am perfectly sure that It will not harm me. Go further than this: when the Christ love is in my heart expressing itself toward others, it would not only not harm anyone else, but it would constrain me to count no sacrifice of my rights too great, if by refraining from the exercise of them I can in the leastwise help to build my brother up. I heard a primary teacher telling her class of little tots something the other day which illustrates in a very plain way this whole truth. She said, “You like candy, don’t you? And when you are well it is perfectly proper for you to eat some candy. It will not only not do you any harm, but the right sort at the right time may do you a great deal of good. But little baby brother could not eat candy, it would make him sick, and sometimes it would be wrong for you to eat candy, because it would make little baby brother want it, and while it might not make you sick, it would make him sick. So because you love him you would not eat the candy so that he would not get sick.” So here is the whole thing. If you love your fellow-man. you will decide every ques tion as to whether you have a right to do it, but whether it will help him. Coming Every Week —52 Times a Year —Not 12.

Evelyn Dare gave us a vivid picture of the life of one country school teach er. Do most of them feel that way? People are so different. In my opinion it requires less to make some contented than others. She asked, “What shall 1 do with my life to make it worth while?” Surely if she is interested in her work grows monotonous. I, too, ing souls for time and eternity, that hei calling is one of the noblest on earth, she must feel that her life is not only useful but in the eyes of God and man eminently worth while. Although doing her duty to others, she is not 'contented, her life is not sufficient unto herself—she is lonely and her work grows mountainous. I, too, was an old-maid country school teach er, and can understand her loneliness. What did I do? I married a widower. (Oh, horrors! I hear.) I’ve never “been a slave to thankless, rebellious step children”—quoting her words. My step children were grown and married. One might do wors| than marry a man wor thy of respect and love, even if he is a widower with small children. I believe I’d take the risk of winning the children over to my side—despite meddling out siders—who usually cause the trouble— if I was sure I loved the man. A -woman of tact and tenderness who makes up her mind to be a real mother to step children will nearly always succeed In making them love her. Why shouldn’t she be a useful and a happy woman, even if she doesn’t “feel the thrills she once dreamed about.” It’s a sure cure for loneliness: try it. I am old-fashioned enough—shall I say? —to think that a woman is happier that has the love of husband and children. Nothing else ever completely fills a true woman's heart, and if the children are her own so much the better. Suppose Evelyn tries organizing a club of some kind; for instance, a lit erary society (who better qualified than a teacher for just such work?). Get everyone, who will, to join—whole fam ilies; in that way everyone will become interested. Meet twice a month—some times at the school house, again at dif ferent homes in the neighborhood. This would be both pleasant and improving. An organization of some kind is badly needed in every isolated country dis trict. Then, too, it brings the teacher and patrons more in touch with each ■»ther; something to be sought after >y both. Or suppose since she is get ting tired of her line of work, and as she has a home, why not get some con genial woman friend (and sometimes we can find such through the papers), and go into the chicken business for a while! A complete change of occupation is what we need often to rest our weary minds and bodies. Or again, why not try traveling after she finishes her pres ent term of school? Nothing like that to get one “out of a rut” and brighten ed men. I am a teacher and have reached the age that the girls of sixteen call “old maids.” I can fully appreci ate every word of our sister’s letter. In fact, I was so much amused by the typical scene portrayed in her letter that I hadn’t forgotten it when I re tired. And, “bless me,” if I didn’t her mind seeing new places, making new | dream that night that I had quit teach- friends, change of climate and all. Trust 1 ing and married an old, old widower. And was in the kitchen washing dishes! me, she will feel .like a new woman aft er a time and come back with renewed zeal for her work. If she wished to keep up expenses while out seeing our fair land, she might try soliciting sub scriptions for magazines, or selling some tide of ladies’ wearing apparel. Hon estly, I would not teach, feeling as she does. Try something else for a while at least. But, after all, there are few things more to be desired, and more consoling than sitting under one’s own “vine and fig tree”—not necessarily with a widow er—but when one proposes, don't let him get away—that is if he is a nice widow er! Here’s to you, Evelyn Dare! “May you iiv(» long and prosper.” BINGHAJVJ.

ADVICE TO THE GROOM. Dear Miss Thomas: Some time ago a young man received these lines. He tells me that many a time when he has ueen tempted to be unreasonable, or ir- iitable, they have popped into his mind and helped both of them. So I am sending them /to you for I know that many who read your columns will ap preciate them and some may be bene- ited. “Remember that the girl of »ur choice is human, and to err is human, and that you are no saint yourself. “Remember that your best girl is a ack of nerves, and that you must be 'atient if you would be happy. “Don’t think that because you work for this best girl, and give her your lay envelope on Saturday night that .herefore she has no right to an opin ion of her own, or that you own her, >ody, soul and mind, for you do not. “Remember that she loves you and is thinking only of you.‘ She adorns her person only to please you and wants your admiration and praise. “Remember that she was brought up in an atmosphere and environment all her own, probably entirely different to yours, and that it takes time to adjust herself to your way of thinking and doing. “It does not take much of an effort to be gentle to a pretty young wife. Remember that the test of your good breeding lies in the after years when she no longer has the endearing charms of youth. That is the time for you to be the real bridegroom. “Remember that marriage puts you on your best behavior always. You can accomplish more, have your own way oftener and make more substantial prog ress in your mutual happy relations by kindness than by nagging. “Remember it is not the big things you do for her but the little things that count. You may leave a standing order at your florists to send your wife and sweetheart her favorite flowers every day in the yqar, at an enormous cost Yet if you personally brought her one blushing rose she would gladly forego the florist’s order. “Don’t come home with a grouch, nor throw your ill humors at ber; re member that she has cares of her own —many physical cares that your are a stranger to. Leave your business trib ulations down town, pull yourself to gether when you are going home. “Lastly, remember she is your wife— first, last and always, and whether sne is right or wrong—your wife. Never for get that and defend her and her good name against the world.” Some day I shall send you some things for the bride .to remember. Good luck to you. MRS. EDNA WINTER. BEEN THERE MYSLF. Dear Miss Thomas: Please give me space in your Household Chats to say just a v/ord to the “Old Maid School Teacher,” as she calls herself. This is my first attempt to get in but hope that I may have a seat right by the “Teacher,” as her letter interest- her • room and the other work that she mentioned. Then with the feeling that her work was finished till the school bell Monday morning would remind her that she must take up the burdens of another week. She sat down alone in her room and took from memory’s shelf that great “volume of the past and there in the solitude of a country home, put herself to the task of comparing her “yesterdays” with* the “todays.” Ajid as we all know that the past pleasures always shine brightest, she felt that life is hardly worth the struggle. Teachers, how much better it would be for us if we could realize that we never know the seeds we sow until they begin to bear fruit. At the very hour that we feel most depressed and be lieve that life is the greatest failure, we may be doing a greater work for our country and our God than when life seems pleasantest and brightest. I think there is but one position that a lady may occupy In this life that is nobler and holier than that of a teacher, and that is wife and mother. However, no real lady, one worthy the name, can afford to take those holy titles upon herself without the real, pure, true love that it takes to make home. Teachers, if you ever get to feeling MY CREED. I believe every one enjoying reasonable health can and should he happy. But of all happy people I think the old maid school teacher should be happiest, be cause she has it in her power to be so very useful to such a large number of people. Surely a person should find hap piness in being “just useful” for doesn’t the Bible say “it is more blessed to give than to heceive,” and that “it is better not to marry because a wife studieth how she may please her husband, but the un married how they may please the Lord?” Consecrated school teachers are one of the greatest needs of our country today, and I do not think there are many of that kind until they have passed the sweetheart age. We hear of unhappy wives on every hand, who likely are so because they married just to keep from being old maids and not because they were sure “the right man had come.” Mrs. Bee’s letter tells a tale in a few words. But the happiest wives no doubt, ex perience a sorrow for every joy with the great Jrardens, responsibilities, suffering and anxieties of which only a wife and mother can know. So, old maids go rejoicing on your way, think not that you are unfortunate but that you are one of whom the world needs many. Enjoy your quiet evenings and your calm Sabbaths. Believe thoso great opportunities and even luxuries. Give your love to the many little chil dren whose lives you may brighten, all are not loved at home. Win their affec tions and confidence and thus have a great share in fashioning their future and be sure they sorely need you. SARAH. ALABAMA WILL INVITE MR.

It is always plastic and blends readily with the flour or sugar. This makes Cottolene especially pleasant to use in cakes, pastry, sauces, biscuits and the like. jpsv Have you tried Cottolene yet?
