As I look back over my school career, I realize the important part which the library has played in my life thus far but I can readily visualize a more important place that it could have held in my life if I had but had the foresight to allow it to do so.

Good books are good companions 'and I have spent my time with more than one joyous library associate since I began reading eight years ago. For, this I am grateful, and I hope that these associations will be influential in making me a wiser, more broad-minded and intelligent boy. does no good--not even tempo rarily. Cutting down the starch is the only rational way. If we do not then nature makes us sick and we are compelled to diet in order to get well and nine times out of ten, the offender is starch, taken in great excess.

Excess of starch weakens; makes us susceptible to disease; children who eat heaps of potatoes, acquire infectious diseases, colds and such very easily. Watch your starches. Use one, not four. We find starches fully as harmful as meats, though highly innocent in appearance. Gaffney Man Is Language Head Dr.

Paul G. Moorehead, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. L.

Moorehead, of Gaffney, has been signally honored by election to the chair of ancient languages at the University of Louisiana, at Baton Rouge. He has been head of the department of ancient language at Charleston college for the past three years. Dr. Moorehead, after completing his high school education here, graduated at the University of South Carolina in the class of 1913 and took his M. A.

the following year. He then won a scholarship at the University of Chicago, where he took more M. A. work and obtained his Ph. D.

degree. He js a young man, highly respected and thought of here and Gaffney people are pelased at his success in his chosen profession. Things You Should Know (by John Joseph Gaines, M. D. Starches Much of our food may be classified as starchy.

We could not get along without a certain amount of the carbohydrate. It is only with excess of starch, that I attempt to deal here. Common starches are rice, potatoes, bread and cereals that arc marketed under trade names. The admixture of sugar makes the starchy foods more tempting. eat five or six times as much starch as we really need.

Most any well-set dinner table has four or five starches, when one would be abundant. The well-living housewife sets on her table two kinds of bread, always potatoes, maybe Lima beans, baked beans, cake, pie with starch crusts and rice pudding occasionally! If I were permitted to hang a motto above the American dinner table one that would do good I would certainly proclaim, "one starch not four." When too much starch is piled into the system, the liver is given more than it can do perfectly and the liver is the largest gland in the body. It transforms all the starch it can the overplus is deposited about the body we become fat, mushy, flabby in muscle and mentality. We are overloaded 1 jj ,4, a ofthe essentials of my small literary world, although I didn't realize the important place it held in the formation of good or bad habits of reading. All along this way of groping for the joy and mystery of the printed page, I had the good fortune of being tactfully guided in the choice of books by the librarian.

Here indeed was the time for cultivating a taste for the right kind of books, and in the Public library books most suited and most wisely chosen for a child were to be found. Gradually I learned to distinguish between books that aided in character building and educational purposes, and those that were'likely to cause me to form wrong opinions. Books play a most important part in the moulding of character. One that portrays a pure, simple life often influences a young mind more than an acquaintance with a person who lives such a life, because it has the whole life laid out in a brief form and the different obstacles overcome by tris character may be summed up and studied, while in real life one, is so accustomed to the habits of such a person that one seldom realizes the actual goodness and trials. The whole process is so gradual that each little, act that makes up a sweet pure life seems rather trivial at the time.

Milton says, "Good and evil in the field of this world grow up together almost inseparably. It was from the rind of one apple that the knowledge of good and evil leaped forth into the world." All knowledge of good is as closely interwoven with bad that they must be dealt with together. One cannot be1 praised who never has to choose between good" and evil and never withstand temptations. hat which purifies, us is trial." In books we see the good and bad set forth and must choose the good from the bad. Again Milton says, "This is the benefit which may be had of books promiscuously read." Books are our friends and should be kept always near us.

We can make them a part of ourselves and a source of intellectual stimulus and delight throughout all our lives. During my nine years of reading from the Public library I have learned to appreciate books more and more, and will always cherish the memory of the pleasures and benefits that personally, have derived from it. LIBRARY CONTEST WINNERS MED Woman's lIMakes Annual Awards to Writers Best Essays on Library. 1 In keeping with their annual plan the Woman's club last week awarded medals to the two high school pupils writing the best essays on the subject "What the Library Has Meant to Me." This year's winners, who were both members of the graduating class, are Miss Dorothy Tolleson, first prize, and J. B.

Heaton, second. The prize has been given for the past several years, and is awarded chiefly for the purpose of stimulating the interest of the school children in books and literature. The prize winning essays follow What the Town Library Has Meant to Me. 1 (By J. B.

Heaton.) In 1914, Andrew Carnegie, the great steel magnate and philanthropist, and the illustrious citizens of Gaff ney did me a personal favor when they established the Carnegie Free Library! "For it was here that as a boy of nine years and upward, obtained books which were a powerful influence on my character, mind, and life. Reminiscences of childhood are sweet. I remember well the cold wintry evenings I spent reading "Bunny Boy," "Grizzly Bear," "Adventures of Reynard the Fox," the Cave and numerous other stories for 'children. As a little tot I found these books very interesting. Each night the" Sandman, when making his founds, would have to wrest my attention from an ever present library book before he could send me off to dreamland.

After being promoted to the fifth grade, I undertook the reading of such books as "Black Beauty," "The Mother West Wind Stories," and "Uncle Remus." My mother and father have always approved of my reading library bocks for-they know that every book in the library is clean and well chosen. The next year I read biographies of many great men, among whom were George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas 'Edison and Theodore Roosevelt. Can you show me a boy who has not felt the influence of these; fine biographies? They make boys ambitious. But after I entered the freshman class in high school I felt an even greater need of town library. For, as you know, in high school each pupil has four or more teachers, all of whom realize the value of parellel reference work, consequently I have been required to use reference books and encyclopedias a great deal.

These have been of inestimable value nay of greatest necessity to me, because my private reference books are limited. Fig- uring that the average cost of each book is about $2 and that I have made use of one book a week for eight years, you can see that I am indebted to the Carnegie Free Library to the ater I I BUTLER NAMED ASA DELEGATE Names of S.

What a wonderful thing is a shelf of good books! What joys they bring to 01:2 who longs to know of the great outside world By books one may travel in fancy to every mystic, foreign land and meet the people of each varied clime. With a good library one who really loves books could live his life apart from the rest of the world and never long for the excitement and contact with other men. He could learn so much from these books that if he were set in the midst of some worldy-wise travellers he could converse with ease on practicajly any subject brought up for discussion. Of course we must have a love of books and a desire to read and learn more, but if we cultivate' a tastev for reading while we are young we soon find it essential for educational purposes and for pleasure.

Most of us, however, are not blessed with a large personal or family library, but must depend on a public library. Without our Carnegie library thousands of our people would miss entirely the benefits and pleasure derived from a large collection of books. If we should stop to consider what the world would be now without books we would be astounded at how much we really depend on them for education, pleasure and moral benefits. How much the world owes to William Caxton, who 'first made it possible for books to be published on a large scale, and how much we owe to the Public library for supplying us with these books which, even in this advanced age, some of us lack. A large library helps a community in many different ways of which one of the most im portant is the educational facilities it affords the schools.

In reference work, parallel reading and such matters our library has proven invaluable. In it we now have access to the books needed in our school work and are able to keep up our standards in educational reading. I made my first start in the world of books in school. Such books as the 'Twin Series, by Lucy Fitcs Perkins, were read in class and the first desires to read more were encouraged. After the first spark was kindled, my love of books rapidly grew.

The Public library with its shelves of fairyland grew more and more one We Sell PERFECTION Stoves and Ovens And we will be glad to show you our stock of these fine Stoves and Ovens. Our prices will please you. 2 Wilkins-Watson Hardware Co. Gaffney, S. C.

IN THE KITCHEN, Courtesy of the Domestic Ss'cnce Depart' mcnt. Perfection Stoz? Nancy's own kitchen had been undergoing improvements, along with the others. And, as might have been expected, its color scheme was a little out of the ordinary.

For Nancy, as you may remember, was an artist, and not at all afraid to experiment with color. Her house was Colonial in style, and the woodwork throughout was white, with mahogany trim. In her kitchen, the door and window frames were of mahogany color, with all the built-in furniture, white, Yv alls, lavender-gray, very light. Curtains, sea blue, bordered with French blue and lavender. Floor, light gray linoleum.

Oval rugs of French blue, with bands of sea blue and lavender. Breakfast table, sea blue trimmed with French blue. Chairs, French blue, trimmed with sea blue. Oil range, pots and pans, snow-white. "I got stage fright at the thought of cooking for you experts," she told the assembled Kitchen Club.

"But I have some good sandwich recipes I'm going to give you." "I always break the first rule of sandwich making to use day-old bread. It does make much neater sandwiches, but they are not nearly so good as those made with fresh bread. I have a very sharp knife, and use it with the lightest pressure possible." LEAVES FROM NANCY'S KITCHEN CLUB NOTEBOOK These are the recipes I gave the Club: Toasted Nut Sandwiches Toast over a slow fire pecans, English walnuts or blanched almonds in butter and salt, constantly stirring. Slice fresh bread and spread thinly with olive oil mayonnaise. Sprinkle with the nuts, using the toasted butter as part of the spread.

Are best' if served immediately. Cheese and Nut Sandwiches Run fresh American cheese through a food chopper until it is puffy. Mix with enough evaporated milk to make a paste. Do use fresh milk. For this recipe, the evaporated lis far better.

with salt and red pepper. Mix with nuts and spread on fresh bread without mayonnaise. While this sandwich is better if eaten at once, it can stand for hours, if necessary, and still be good. Cheese and Pimiento Sandwiches Run American cheese through food chopper until it is puffy. Mix with chopped canned pimiento and enough olive oil mayonnaise to spread nicely.

This filling will keep for days, but is better eaten at once. "Pick Up Supper" Sandwiches Toast bread on one side. On soft side spread mayonnaise. Lay on this a lettuce leaf, two slices of tomato and two of crisp, hot bacon. Salt and pepper.

Serve at once. Chicken Salad Sandwiches Chopped chicken, sweet pickle, chopped hard-boiled eggs. Pepper, salt, celery salt. A little chopped celery. Moisten with mayonnaise and spread on bread.

Cheese Dreams These are hard to digest, but oh, so good on cold nights! Crumble fresh American cheese on fresh bread. Salt. Cover with another slice. Toast in frying pan with butter. When brown on one side turn and toast on the other.

Serve at once. Cake and Bread Box I showed the Kitchen Club the combination cake and bread box I found at Green's yesterday. It has two compartments. Comes in half-a-dozen different colors. I got one.

But, as I already had a cake box, I'm going to put silver in the top compartment of mine. I anishing Garbage Bucket One stare showed me a garbage bucket with an attachment to fasten it to the pipe under a kitchen sink. It pulls out on a lever to fill, and is pushed back out of sight when one is through with it. It comes in beautiful, bright colors, though, and it seems a shame to hide it. Vegetable Bin I fwnd a wdrvf il new vegetable bin to teil the Kitchen Club about.

It has three "stories," each ventilated. 1 ne bottom one coukl hold potatoes, the next, apples, and the two small ones the top, onions and beans. The bin comes tin, aB different colors. i.ai A the first modern oil range MISS GETTYS IS IMPROVING The condition of Miss Annie Gettys, who was operated on at the City hospital Tuesday morning for appendicitis, was reported as being very satisfactory by the hospital authorities.

ACTUALLY INCREASES GASOLINE MILEAGE Tests were made by a motor car manufacturer by driving cars for two thousand miles cross country, comparing "Standard" Motor Oil with other well-known The same gasoline was used in all cars. The use of "Standard" Motor Oil showed increases of from 7 to 11 in the number of miles per falloo of gasoline.

This is because "Standard" Motor Oil forms the best seal between-piston and cylinder wall, thus insuring a more perfect combustion and a more powerful piston stroke.
