But neither can you live with­

The surest sign of growing old is the
fading o f hope.
The best indication that a man still
has youth und a future, is the tenacity
with which he clings to his hope.
Y’ ou smile at the rainbow ctmser, but
he is fur more likely to get something
worth while out o f life than tke cynic
or the pessimist.
Y’ ou can t catch even a street car
without wanting to catch it, and you
will never catch even the rim of hap­
piness without hope.
Don’t be afraid of hope. And don’t
be afraid to hope high, nnd hard.
Make your hopes great enough, and
If you realize 25 per cent o f them you

Those who went to war despondent­

FOOD FOR THE FAM ILY
A CAKE that can he given the chil
• * * dren and one which they will like
is prepared from bread sponge.
Bread Sponge Cake.
Take one and one-half cupfuls of
sugar, three-fourths of a cupful of
shortening, two well-beaten eggs, o n *
fourth of a cupful o f sweet milk, two
cupfuls o f light bread sponge, three
cupfuls of flour, one teaspoohful of
soda, spices nnd raisins to taste. Mix
well, let rise and bake in a large bread
pan or in smaller loaves.
•
Stuffed Figs.
Figs are one of our most valuable
fruits and they are usually reason­
able In price. Cut a small slit tn the
stem-end of pulled figs m.d work In
one or two blanched almonds. An­
other nice filling is a mixture of al­
mond paste, walnut and hickory nuts
to which has been added enough
orange Juice or cream to hold the mix­
ture together. A portion o f the soft
meat o f the fig is removed and the
paste Is then inserted with n pointed
spoon or knife. Press the opening to­
gether and roll the fig In granulated
sugar.
Coffee Custard.
Scald two cupfuls of milk with two
•tablespoonfuls of ground coffee and
strain after Mie coffee Is well steeped.
Bent three eggs lightly, add one-fourth
of a cupful o f sugar, a pinch of salt,
one-fourth of a teaspoonful o f vanilla
and the milk.
Strain Into buttered
molds, set in a pan of hot winter and
hake until firm. Test by thrusting in­
to the center a steel or silver knife; if
It comes out clean, the custard is done
nnd should be taken from the heat nnd
cooled at once.
Noodles.
Beat one egg slightly, add one-quar-
ter o f a teaspoonful o f suit, one-quar­
ter tenspoonful o f baking powder, one
tnbtespoonful o f cold water and suf­
ficient flour to make a stiff dough.
Roll out ns thin as a sheet o f paper,
dredge with flour and let dry, then roll
|up and cut in strips. Drop into' boil­
ing hot soup and cook ten-to fifteen
minutes.
A nice luncheon dish which may be
prepared from cooked noodles is as
follows: Line a buttered baking dish
with cooked noodles, pour over a cus­
tard made o f two beaten eggs, one cup
ful o f njllk, one-half cupful of finely
minced ham, anil one tablespoonful of
minced parsley. Turn over the noodles,
mixing well. Set Into a moderate oven
and bake until the custard Is set.
