YOUNG FOLKS ARE NOT AS
MYSTERIOUS AS THEY
THINK
A girl, who plainly regards all eld-
erypeople as prehistoric fossils, asks;
"Why is it that old people can never
understand young people?" Oh but
they do, my clear. The trouble is not
that the old do not understand the
young. It is because they understand
the young too well. That is where'
the conflict between the two ages
comes, for the old, knowing what the
young are thinking, and experiences
they are going through, are trying to
tell them things they don't want to
hear and to which they will not lis-
ten.
It is the young who cannot under-
stand the old because they lack wis-
dam: and knowledge that years alone
bring. They, are in the kindergarten
stage of life. They are learning their
A. B. C.'s, while the old are finishing
their post -graduate course in advanc-
ed philosophy and psychology. The
young, think they are very mysterious
that they are somehow different from

It wouldsurprise them 'to know
that all of us older peope have been

a single man or woman among us
who has not been cdnfused with the

up the sante Iittle painted balloons
of hope, and -wept the same tears of
disappointment when they collapsed.
Not a one of us but knows how
alluring tine primroses that bloom a-
long the roadside and how easy to
wander•r off. to gather them. Not one
of us but lnows. how youth 'craves
to step on the gas and take life orn
high. Not one of us but who has
skidded to within 'an inch of the pre

for the grace of God.. Not one of
us but knows where the hairpin turns

a few lanterns of warning. It is be-
cause we know the road, Not be-
cause We are ignorant of it.

LUBRICATING OUR SYSTEM
(By Florence Bays)
In our mania for reducing many
eaters are looking askance at fats,
but we need then in our system to
lubricate our organs, to supply the
vitamins they contain, and for warm-
th and energy, Children will became
skinny and anaemic and .adults will
become diabetic and suffer from in-
testinal sluggishness' without adequate
fats in the diet.
Butter and cream are delicious
sources of fats, brit they are not the
only fats which are desirable. Ham
fat, bacon fat and other fats of meat
should be used liberally in winter
weather, and they may be made at-
tractive. It is said that an Eskimo
, will eat a candle as eagerly as we eat
candy. He knows his needs for en-
ergy and warmth. Beat up ham and
bacon fat and season them and use
them as a spread on brown bread
sandwiches.

CANDY HINTS
The faster you beat candy the finer
is its grain.
Cooking at a low temperature makes
it more creamy:
!
Cooling before heating produces
candy of finer texture.
Evaporated milk is better than
fresh milk for candy making.
Butter or cream' in candy will make
it more creamy and less granular.
Do not stir candy more than nec-
essary while it is cooking or it will
sugar quickly.
When candy is cooking, remove su-
gar crystals from the side of the pan,
or coarse crystals will form, in the
candy.
When you are testing candy tosee
if, it is done, remove it from the fire
during the test that it may not cook
beyond the stage indicated by the
test.
THINGS WORTH KNOWING
• If you wish to iron clothes soon af-
ter they are sprinkled, use warm, or
better yet, hot water forsprinkling
them. To use a small brush or whisk
broom 'for sprinkling, enables you to
use hotter water without burning the
hands and divides the drops more fine-
ly and evenly in the sprinkling.
To. Stop Boots Pinching
To ease any Part of the boots which
press or pinch, a pian which will suc-
ceed when 'everything else has failed
and which is perfectly harmless to
the leather, is to put the boot on and
dip a piece of flannel in boiling wat-
er, wring out and lay on where it
presses. Repeat this until the shoe
feels easy then keep the Shoe on the
foot until it is dry or you will run
the risk of tindoing the work,
Choosing a Broorrf
Pure long bristles with the head set
at a convenient angle for efficient
sweeping, should be points looked 'for
in buying a hair 'broom. The eye
may be deceived but never the hand
if it is passed over the bristles, Good
brist es have great spring and if de-
ception has been practiced by mak-
ing the outside of good bristles and
the centre of substitutes,; the .;aim of
the, hand can detect the fraud,
To Thaw Water Pipes
Never thaw out the middle of a
pipe first for fear it will burst. Thaw
first the end towards which the wa-
ter runs. Open the faucet to show
when the flow starts. `Beginning at
the open end work back toward the
source of supply, If it is a•drain pipe
work upward from the, lower end. It
is simple and effective to, apply hot
water by cloths to a frozen pipe, or,
if there is no .danger of catching -fire,
a newspaper may be run . back and
forth along the frozen pipe.
CARE OF HOUSE PLANTS
It might;be well to give; a thought
to your winter houseplants and not
wait for spring. They will thrive
best in air which is moist and fresh.
Keep the leaves free from dust. Use
a little commercial fertilizer or plant
food around the roots and keep the
soil stirred. An old fork is a good.
utensil for this purpose, If they are
nipped by the frost thaw them out
gradually. Cut flowers will keep long-
er if the stems aro clipped and the
flowers given fresh water daily and
they are`:kept in a not too warm room.
BAKELESS CAKE

orcookies, a No. 2 can of crushed
or . grated pineapple, half a cup of
butter, a cup of white sugar, yolks
of two eggs and half la cup of wal-
nut meats, Cream the butter and

Sea to the west; is the little 'uroun-
tainous .province -of ,Bosnia, i'ormerly
a vassal of Austria but now a part of
the kingdom of Serbs, Giants and
Siov etc s '
Bosnia is noted chiefly - for its
sleepy, Oyiental capital city, Sarajevo,
where the assassins of the Austrian
Archduke Ferdinand lit the torch

the continent in ashes. ' But Bosnia
also is remarkable for the fact that
most of its nwho

Moslem faith, weal trousers, dye
their hair and, fingernails with henna
and wear black shrouds over their
headsthat make them resemble
witches,
When Turkey was a ;nighty power
Bgsnia; was one of its outposts and it
taught the women to ,live in harems,
to dress in "balloon" trousers, to
wear deathlike 'veils and generally to
make themselyes'unattraotive to men.
Three customs have survived throug •_
the centuries, 'Flirtations with wo-
men, as Americans know the terra,
do not exist. Romanee, courtship and
love are almost unknown, When a
man or a youth wants to marry. he
simply goes to the market and buys
a wife for so many dollars or so many
bushels of wheat '
Among the women in this country
skirts, silk stockings, corsets, pic-
ture hats, .lipsticks, bobbed hair and
"styles" are unknown. Even little ,
girls wear trousers; They also henna
their hair and fingernails and wear
necklaces of huge blue beads ,o ]tee;
off the "evil -eye."
Although the women are mostly of
pure Serbian origin, the Koran whioh
they have adopted teaches thein that
they must never expose their. face to
any man except their father, husband
or:brother. They must'also wear.
white gloves, leaving no :part of their
body uncovered. They spend most 01.

Over 80,O00 Miles of :Highways Out`•

The total area of Sweden is almost
as large as that of Germany while'

Europe.
There are about 80,795 miles of

country paved as follows: Macadam,
gravel -surfaced and dirt roads, 80,-
733 miles; asphalt, 18 miles; 'con-

EXPRESS OFFICIAL
WINS UNIQUE BET
Parcel. to Winnipeg pe -. Outs Beds Week-
Outspeeds
Delivery of City Letter
"I'll bet you," said a local express
official to a friend, "that if just after
12 o'clock noon on Saturday you mail
nlea letter and express a parcel to a
friend in Winnipeg at the same mo-
ment, your 'Peg friend will . receive
the parcel before the letter reaches
my home."
"Taken," said the. other, ' "but. I'm
afraid you plight as well give me the
money right now. Impossible for
you to. win,"
"Wait acid see," laughed the ex-
press. official, He knew his express
company. Actually, as soon as' a wire
had been received from Winnipeg tell-
ing when the expressed parcel was de-
livered 'there, he, instead of the other,
won the bet.
"It was very simple," he says, "My
home is in the outskirts of the city,,
There is no ordinary Saturday after-
noon snail delivered there, of Course.
The letter was delivered' by the 'post-`"
man shortly after 9 o'clock on., Mon-
day,. The parcel arrived in 'Winni-
peg sharp at 8:45 o'clock on Monday
morning. It was deliveredpromptly
rii g
.
tit 9 O'clock. It beat the letter by a-
bout 15 minutes.
"No special arrangements had been
made, The, Winnipeg man dill not
know a parcel was coining to him.
The express'etnployees there did not,
give it any precedence over other
matter, •
"Tt shows how keen is the coln'pcti-
tion between Canada's two great rail-
toads, The parcel destined to reach
Winnipeg left London for 'Toronto on
the 4,25 f>:tti, train, which arrived itt
Toronto at 8,30 pin. At Toronto the
parcel, along with others, was trans-
ferred to "The Confederation," which
left at 9 p,m. and arrived at Winni-
peg at 8.45 a.m. M.quday, •
"The railway commission has so ar-
ranged things that competition be-
tween the C. P. R. and the . C. N. R.
is limited, one aright almost say,to
the personality of the personnel. Both
roads have the same rates and each
watches with{an eagle eye any move
its rival liiay make toward improving
the service.
"As an example, we'luse the pack-
age we're' talking about, Express de-
liveries in Winnipeg are expedited' in
this manner; Both railroads send men
about 400 miles down ,the line 'to meet
the incoming trains, step into the ex-
press cars and sort out traffic_ so that,
immediately upon arrival of a'' train
at ' Winnipeg, all express matter is
classified and grouped for the routes
along which it is to be delivered. Th_e
wagons are waiting at the station.
They .get their loads at once. Off
they. go. Delivery is speeded to such
a degree that seemingly impossible,
results are achieved. For instance,
my bet looked mad;' enough, but 'I
won."
