One destiny is mine. I'd not give up that special cup My fates have poured for me, For any other in all time.

Nor all eternity. For in my time, and In my place No foot has stood before. My taste of fortune fine or base No lips can know of, more. So might I choose, I would not lose For nectared draughts divine This deep-spiced vintage here and now. In mine own place and time.

Mine be the strength to lift it up In pride; drink full and free. And, standing, drain the mortal cup My fates have poured for me. Edith Franklin Wyatt. Cheaper Foods Are Made More Appetizing If Care Is. Used in Preparation Proper attention to cooking and seasoning will make appetizing dishes of the cheaper yet nutritious foods.

According to the U. S. department of agriculture, it will increase greatly their consumption and thus reduce considerably the use of more expensive foods now eaten in place of them. Many housewives who complain that children and adults will not eat breakfast cereals fall to realize that the cer eals they serve may be undercooked, scorched, or improperly seasoned and thus made unpalatable. Most of the cheaper foods require careful seasoning and preparation to be fully appetizing.

Vegetables properly prepared tempt the appetite. When they are soggy or poorly seasoned, much of them will be left on the table. The quality and flavor of meat or fish can be Injured by overcooking or improper cooking. If fats are allowed to burn even a little, they develop unpleasant flavors; If this happens In making gravies and sauces or In frying, the food will usually not be eaten; burned meat Is also and so are burned vegetables. THE CUP OF LIFE 0(IIIOt00Oltllttlll Women Urged to AuuUnt SecreUry of Agriculture Say We have not yet reached the point where It is necessary for the women generally to undertake heavy work on the farms, but they can render important service in helping to produce big food crops this year, especially in connection with the lighter farm tasks.

This was told by Clarence Ousley, assistant secretary of agriculture, in an address to the women's committee of the council of national defense, meeting in Washington. "I can imagine no finer thing," said Mr. Ousley, "for a city woman to do in this war emergency than to go to the farm for the harvest or for some other period of labor strain to help her country sister bear the burdens of kitchen and farm. "There are thousands of men in the towns and cities doing things that women" can do as well. There are men cooks, men waiters, men clerks, men bookkeepers, whose places might well be filled by women.

"I will despise American manhood if the great body of our men permit our women to be drafted for the hard tasks of agriculture until we have sent every able-bodied creature in breeches to the trenches or driven him to the fields, out women are to be encouraged, so far as their physical condition will permit or the circumstances surrounding them will advise, to engage In the lighter tasks of the farm, particularly In dairy work, in vegetable cultivation and in fruit harvesting." Mr. Ousley praised the services of the 1,700 women home-demonstration agents who are spreading the teachings of the department of agriculture and the co-operating state colleges, and paid tribute to the six or seven millions of farmers' wives who "are doing a man's share of agricultural production and conservation." "I have seen them," he said, referring to the farmers' wives, "hoeing in the hot sun while their babies lay In the shade of near-by trees. They are truly, and to the limit of their strength and their marvelous patience, the helpmeets of their husbands." Sugar Must Be Saved Helps to Make Up the Shortage Among the Allies If any man has failed to see the reason why he should cut his plentiful apportionment of two spoonfuls of sugar to the one of war time, he can find it In a recent publication of the United States department of agriculture explaining the world-wide shortage especially the shortage among the allies in the supply of sweets. Not only has the supply of sugar in some parts of the United States been short, but there has been an actual shortage of more than tons annually in the world since the war began, and the shortage is likely to continue, the publication says, primarily because of the destruction of a large number of sugar mills and the devastation of a considerable area of sugar-producing lands in Europe. Trior to the war practically all the belligerent countries, with the exception of the United Kingdom and Italy, exported sugar, the total amount being upward of 3,000,000 tons.

War, however, has changed the sugar-production map and at the same time has shifted tire channels of trade. In 1918 it Is estimated that the allies must import a minimum of 1,200,000 tons of sugar. Formerly the United Kingdom and France depended to a considerable extent upon Germany, Austria-Hungary, Belgium and Russia for sugar. These sources were shut off by the war. The United Kingdom alone thus lost the source of more than half of her normal supply of sugar and has turned to new as well as other old sources for her supply.

The changes thus brought about have been largely a diversion of the product of Mauritius to the United Kingdom instead of to India, and an expansion of the imports of unrefined sugar from Cuba, the Philippines and Peru. For refined sugar she drew upon the United States and Java. However; the allies cannot turn to such exporting countries as Java and Mauritius without being forced to go to a much longer distance and over a more perilous route than across the Atlantic. If the allies are compelled to go to these countries it will require an extra amount of shipping which is needed for transportation of American soldiers and supplies to France and England. Russia's exports practically ceased in 1914, and she is now reported as somewhat short of sugar.

Italy's crop decreased last year and her imports have Increased largely since the war began. Italy's consumption, however. Is small and her deficit Is not serious.

Meat and potatoes are a good food combination, and may be a better diet than bread and meat, according to the United States department of agriculture.

At this time when a plentiful supply of potatoes makes them cheap, and when wheat and flour should be saved, we should use potatoes Instead of wheat. Potatoes at a dollar a bushel are as cheap as bread at ten cents for a pound loaf, even when the cost of cooking is added. Help On Farms They Should Not Try the Heavier Tasla. Tris Speaker, New Kind of Baseball Star He Is One Without That Temperament Tris Speaker, the outfielding star of the Cleveland Indians, has blossomed out as a new kind of star one without temperament. Lee Fohl, the boss of the Indians, declares Tris to be the best absolutely that he ever worked with.

Tris, according to Fohl, is there with everything brains, batting, fielding and all the rest of it. In addition, the famous outfielder has a disposition that fits the temperament of every ball player with the Indians. He's the friend of everybody. The kids who hang around the ball park and who, like kids ever since baseball became a great game, idolize the stars, know Speaker as their pal a good fellow and a cheery friend. When Speaker was touring the country with the White Sox as they started their trip around the world, someone Tris Speaker.

wanted a photo of the famous outfielder, and he was requested to pose. "Pose nothing," he growled. "I'll stand right here just like I am, and if you want to shoot, why, fire ahead." And he wouldn't budge. The snapshot was pulled off with Speaker leaning against the wall of a hotel building. His hat was pulled down over his eyes.

He was reading a letter, and he was Industriously puffing away at the short stub of a cigar. Little he cared whether he showed as a real star when the photographs gained circulation. Spent Yeast From Breweries Made Into Useful Articles The spent yeast which collects in breweries and distilleries is put through a process which turns it out in the form of buttons, doorbell plates and knife handles, according to the Popular Science Monthly. Formerly ihls leftover material was consid ered to be a bothersome waste; now it is utilized, every bit of it As it is gathered from the vats the yeast is of a dirty, gray-brown color. The first operation is to dye it, and then to work it over until it assumes the form of powder and can be hot pressed into any form.

S. THRIFT udj Address ufiixaBTTxa CHITSO TAT2S CCVKHM2HT THE PRESIDENT'S APPEAL FOR NATIONAL WAR SAVINGS DAY President Wilson has issued the following: This war is one of nations not of armies and all of ourtone hundred million people must be economically and industrially adjusted to war conditions if this nation is to play its full part in the conflict. The problem before us is not primarily a financial problem but rather a problem of increased production of war essentials and the saving of the materials and the labor necessary for the support and equipment of our Army and Navy. Thoughtless expenditure of money for non-essentials uses up the labor of men, the products of the farm, mines, and factories, and overburdens transportation, of which must be used to the utmost and at their best for war purposes. The great results which we NSBKmb SK9Kt jSKm WmEBwr Jk SEmMm8mA WOODROW WILSON.

ra ized world today for materials and labor with which to end the war, the practice of individual thrift is a patriotic duty and a necessity. 1 appeal to all who now own either Liberty Bonds or War Savings Stamps to continue to practice economy and thrift and to appeal to all who do not own Government securities to do likewise and purchase them to the extent of their means. The man who buys Government securities transfers the purchasing power of his money to the United States Government until after this war, and to that same degree does not buy in competition with the Government. I earnestly appeal to every man, woman and child to pledge themselves on or before the 23th of June to save constantly and to buy as regularly as possible the securities of the Government; and to do this as far as possible through membership In War Savings Societies. The 28th of June ends this spec'al period of enlistment in the great volunteer army of production and saving here at home.

May there be ntfie unenlisted on that dayl i May 29, 1918. (Signed) WOODROW WILSON. NOW FOR PLEDGE WEEK "With tbe Red Cross Second War Fund 'campaign brought to a successful conclusion, there is nothing left now for which the people of this country will have to prepare Immediately, except "Pledge Day" for "War Savings on June 2Sth. Until the inauguration of the "War Savings Stamps as a method of helping Uncle Sam and for teaching careless Americans how to save, there had never been any definite plan for reaching the people of this 'country how to save. Many people save on a 'hit and miss" plan, moBtly miss md as a consequence there were few real savers among the American people.

The War Savings Stamps teach one to save systematically, many persons adopting the method of saving one tworpr more each week. (Under ihe system which every one adopt on "Pledge Day" when t6ey -Jo-buy a certain number of stamps 'before December 31st there will be systematic saving in every home in this country. The lesson of Thrift will be so thoroughly learned by that time that it will have become a habit, and everyone will become members of the big thrift army of Uncle Sam's government. However, it was not with the view of teaching the lesson of thrift that Uncle Sam started this big "War Savings campaign. It is because ha needs the money to run the Government of the United States, and it 'is the people who are benefited by this Government who must support it Uncle Sam does not ask 'for a gift of your money; he asks for merely a lose Between now and June 28th, sit down aad figure out for yourself Ju8t how ihhoK you are going to buy In the way Carriers or Hail to Post Office Kindly have letter-carrier deliver nr which I will pay on delivery: jeach UMidMum) STAMPS at 25c each.

WORTH $5.00 JANUARY 1. 1923 seek can be obtained only by the participation of every member of the nation, young and old, in a national concerted thrift movement. I therefore urge that our people everywhere pledge themselves, as suggested by the Secretary of the Treasury, to the practice of thrift; to serve the Government to their utmost in increasing production in all fieids necessary to the winning of the war; to conserve food and fuel and useful materials of every kind; to devote their labor only to the most necessary tasks; and to buy only those things which are essential to individual health and efficiency; and that the people, as evidence of their loyalty, invest all that they can save in Liberty Bonds and War Saving Stamps. The securities is sued by the Treasury Department are so many of them within the reach of every one that the door of opportunity In this matter is wide open to ail of us. To practice thrift in peace times is a virtue and brings great benefit to the Individual at all times; with the desperate need of the civil ef War Savings Stamps before December 31st.

If you will think carefully over the past sis months, you can probably find that you expended your money for many thlng3 that you could hava done very well without It is the money that you pay for these things, that you must in the future invest in War Savings Stamps. When you once commence to save, you will find many other ways In which you can add to yodr savings and Invest in these War Savings Stamps. Don't forget June 28th. Be ready when you- are asked to sign the pledgd. JilST HOW GOOD THEY ARE It Is appropriate at thi3 time to again call attention to the value of the War Savings Stamp as an investment.

In the place It Is almost unnecessary to say they are the safest i Investment that can be made, backed as they are by the strongest government In the world. They will always remain at par, not being subject to the market fluctuations of other securities, even of the Liberty Bond. They are free from tax. Their early maturity (five years) makes them ideal investments for young people who may need the money within a few years for educational or other purposes at a tune in life when a few hundred dollars w'W cyunta more than thousands later.
