TO MOTIIERH AXI F:TMFItS Ten thousand Junes have scattered their roses and romances across the pathway or mankind, poets have chronicled in im mortal song the loves of Pyramus and Thlsbe and Uomco and Juliet, and kingdoms have been taxed and slaves have toiled to provide the pomp and splendor that attended the nuptial rites of some prince and princess of the blood, yet they all pale to insignificance beside the service, humble though it may be, that separates your 'daughter and my son from tin parental rouf this June and places upon them the responsibility of making a home of their own. Why. It is only a few brief Junes ngn that wo ourselves pronounced those sacred vo wit, that we, secure In our love, stood ut this same high point of lift and looked uh'-ad through a rosente vista of years. Dreams there were that never could come true, vain hopes that life llko a wise moth ft gently re moved from our hands but all of whle.h played their important part In shuplng the fleeting years, . There have been hard lessons to learn, mistakes that we made, sorrows thai brought us, doubting, to our knees! Krom these we fain would shield the young folks who are starting nut so confidently this June, jiut our experience, the wisdom 'that we have painstakingly acquired and which we would so eagerly imparl. Is of no avail lo anyone but ourselves, for nature has decreed that each succeeding generation must make Us own adjustments, garner its own experience and adapt itnelf to her immutable laws. ( It Is going to be difficult O mother and father! to sit idly by and watch these youngsters so dear lo our hearts take wrong courses, make false moves and nil but crush themselves against the .unyielding facts of life. Jt is going to be difficult, but It is going to be necessary, for they must bear their own burdens and through their own efforts rise above defeats if they are to de velop the character and the moral stamina required to rear their children and to take their places as responsible and respected units In the social scheme.- Editorial Woman's World.

To re move water stains from u silk gar ment, place it on nn Ironing board Macaroni and Spa ' ghetti for Variety Macaroni and spaghetti are; nu tritious vet inexpensive so why not utU7.e more of it in our diets? Many of us think of it as food for those of Italian descent so fail to add It to our menus. From historical reports It seems that Italy was the duly nation en Joying macaroni during tho four teenth century because she held I he secret of its manufacture. Both spaghetti and macaroni must be made from hard wheat flour. This Is thoroughly mixed with u small quantity of boiling water. The dough Is then worked In a machine until it is smooth and tough. This tough dough Is nlaced In a strong press where it is passed out 'through small holes of a perforated plate. The short sizes are sliced off at the desired length ns the dough is pressed through the perforated disk These long or short strings must )ft dried. In Italy they nrc exposed eggs, beet juice, and spinach juice. Italian manufacturers make the macaroni dough into many, many shapes. These attractive shnpes are very decorative when used In soup: u few letters or fancy pieces added, to a bowl of soup stock makes a company dish of it. Chil dren will eat1 the soup much more readily because they are anxious to jfind nil the pictures they can. Regardless of what the final np t pearance of the dish Is to be the ; preparation of the macaroni for i use Is practically the same. The dried product should he placed In I boiling salt . water and the water 'must he kept boiling from twenty to thirty minutes that Is until It 1 is tender. f When this is done the : water may be drained off and the j macaroni Is ready to have any ! seasonings desired added, t Perhaps all of you have had : difficulty at times with soft, mushy macaroni. That is because the water in which you stnrted It to cook Is not hot enough. After the product Is cooked It may be made somewhat firmer If It is blanched in cold wnter. i j A Cure for Foot Weariness With the coming of spring tho t vagabond that Is In all of us awnk 'ens.

Klllle would have 'been much more rendy to understand a moth er who said to him, "1 really wouldn't do that, dear. I used to do It when 1 was your nge, hut It isn't wise," explaining Just why it wasn't wise. If possible, she would have waited to explain until Itlllic's resentment of the discipline had cooled. Correction' white a child is In a rebellious spirit teaches him to amue. When ho had come In from play, when he was in a pro per spirit to sit still nnd discuss something, the subject could be brought up tactfully and explained jin a satisfactory matter-or-faet mariner, without hulldlng up any 'feeling of resentment. None of us like 'perfection. A (man or woman who will forgive j many faults In a person will not : tolerate perfection,' especially ' if j tho perfect one Is held up as an j example.

Robert Loveman. Karly flowering shrubs should be pruned ns soon as they're through blooming. That starts the new wood for next season's bloom. - , There uro few better flowers than four-o'clocks to give your 4 garden that sweet old fashioned touch. You can still plant them for lute bloom and in almost any sunny spot of well-drained I soil. I Chickweed in your lawn? Sprinkle the lawn lightly with ' ammonium sulphate or ammouiu in phosphate, let stand a couple of days and water if It doesn't rain. This will kill the chick- ) S weed and help the grass if too much' isn't used. 4 It's easy to start new shrubs from uny sort that has drooping branches. Simply bend down a branch, cover with earth be- j tween the end and the parent plunt, and weight with a stone to : 4 hold the branch in place. Leave until roots form, then cut off t the branch and set where wanted. 4 If you have un oleander and youngsters In the house, don't forget that the flowers are poisonous. An oleander Is pretty, j hut wo prefer something safer. Tomato Quality Improved by Staking Tho tomato Is the most generally useful vegetable. In the garden. It Is In demand the 'year around.

Trellises nre quite as good as stakes but require a different treatment of the vino. Tomatoes wunt only fairly rich soil. Too much food sends them to leaves at the expensn of fruit production. Potash rather than nltrogon fertilizers nre recom mended. Set the stake first nnd plant tho plant beside it, tying the main stem to act as a trunk as growth advances.
