T" UMNO the enrly years of

thnt you will take the wrong road tho
rond of the lie.
Your first Impulse will be to tnkc the
course of truth. You will know It Is
tho right rond. IJon't stnnd at the
cross ronds. do full speed down tho
route you know Is the right one. Next
time you come to n cross roads with
the snmo signs dlsplnyed It will be
easier to keep right on going.
And if you select the road of truth
you will come to fewer puzzling comers
than you will on the road to lies. It
will be much easier to stny on tho
right road than to get back tq It.
Sometimes It Is Impossible to get hack.
The same thing will be true of every
road parting which you encounter. To
linger thero will he dnngerouR. To
wabble back and forth between tho
two routes will mean thnt you arc
liable to bo engulfed In n disastrous
chain of circumstances before you have
made your move. It Is Just like the
soldier who stands nt tho cross roads
until n shell searches him out and Its
explosion destroys him.
The nrmles shelled nil cross roads
nt frequent Intervals because they
knew that somebody wns likely to be
there either because of congested
trafllc or because of Indecision as to
which way to go.
Chief nmong your enemies nre your
own weaknesses and hnblts. They will
deliberately attack you while you trrc
nt the parting of the ways.
Do not loiter there.

Unforgotten
By GRACE E. HALL

T0 YOU think of mo (.ometliues
you who went
On an alien path ero our love grow
cold J
Out In the spaces where you have won
To the heights that you dreamed of
have you done
Such deeds ns have made you more
content
Than ou were In our lovo of old?
Lo you think of me sometimes where
you are.
And wltih you had held to tho othci
way?
Those high-flung trulls tiro they all
you crnve?
Do they yield the sweetness our young
love gno?
You fastened your wngon to n stnr
Does It brighten your every day?
Oil I I warm my heart by that youth-
time Are
When the breath of tho yenrs grows
chill;
And nlwnys I wonder If you recnll
That whitc-hnt llninc when tho shnd-
ows fall
Do the heights sutllco for your soul's
desire?
Do they wnnn like our first lovo'i
thrill?
Do you think of mo sometimes dear
out. there.
Where tho trails lend high nnd you
longed to go?
I could not forget If i trlrdl I keep
My faith with you ever nwnkc asleep;
And sometimes I call and It Is a
prayer
Do you hear my volco on tho warm
night nlr
Ever when soft winds blow?

DISCONTENT
fpilEUE are those who are contln-
ually complaining nbout some mys-
terious power which Is holding them
bnck. They begin to grumble nt tho
breakfast table and keep airing their
discontent until night when their
mood changes nnd they don their best
clothes nnd hurry nwny for their cus-
tomnry frolic.
These nro the Individuals who pile
upon tho backs of humanity Its heavi-
est burdens of unhapplness. They nre
always out of step lagging behind
contentious gruff-voiced und Ill-humored.
They would like to sit In the high
places give orders read the law of
deportment to subordinates but they
lack tho spirit to moko thenjselvos
capable so they keep scullllng along
their gloomy wny nnd ncqutrlug bear-
ish dlsposltlqns.
It Involves too much work too many
deprivations of things which they con-

shier essential to their body-comfort
so they loiter along through tho best
years of their life envious unruly and
wretched.
When tho nwnkenlng comes ns it
eventually does tHey find themselves
so enslaved to pernicious habits that
they tiro powerless to break nwuy.
Their customnry diversions have lost
their lure. Old associates wltn whom
they Idled their precious yours hnve
disappeared. Thero Is nothing ahead
but hlankncss nnd emptiness.
Study nnd books are a bore. Any-
thing that calls for thought or llxed
attention 01 ihu iiihid cuniiot be en
dured. They never meditate nevui
trench out for the great glorious Ideal!
which have been hovering iiroiind then
nil their life begging recognition und
ncceptunce.
If you would not be nmong these
hapless souls when the shadows bo
gin to lengthen seek while you nr
yet In tho llower of youth to Improve
yourself. Make the start todny.
You cannot hope to achieve and nt
tain except by hard work long solitary
hours of Btudy and constructive ru
flections.
At tho top there Is boundless roort
for tho faithful. The nlr Is large and
free nnd Inspiring. Tho world Is call-
ing for creative thinkers ottering them
her richest treasures nnd hlgheM hon-
ors. Heed the cull whlla youth flushes-
your cheek. Press forwurd keep going
nnd help yourself.

8EA MOSS AND ITS USES
SEA moss or carrageen Is not well
enough known to nny but' our New
Engtnnd friends who have used and
enjoyed It for yenrs. Tho whitish sen
weed which has tho pleasant tang of
fait water may be gathered freely on
the coast or may be purchased at
stores In various places. A pound
goes a long way as a substitute for
gelntln sago and rennet.
Of course In Its preparation It should
be carefully washed In several waters
until every Individual piece Is clean.
Tl the moss In a piece of cheese-
cloth or put Into a small bag. drop It
Into tho milk and cook for a half hour
or until ti m moss Is well softened.
Itemovo Utc moss add such flavoring
as desired with sugar to sweeten. A
good flnvor Is ornnge almond or earn-
mel while honey Is ulso good; n
plain unflnvored blanc mange served
with mnplo sirup Is especially deli-
cious. A bit of salt a" few chopped
almonds with almond extract makes a
dainty dessert.
Feach Pudding. '
Add one-third of a cupful of sen
moss to one quart of milk nnd cook
for half an hour In a double boll or.
If fresh peaches aro to be used add
two or three crushed peach kernels
to tho milk or three peach leaves.
