Don’t Risk It!
Ever bake a cake that was a failure? That can
easily happen and now the waste of materials
must be avoided. You can’t afford to lose the
points you spent on fat for the cake and waste in

O the old house at home, where my
fore-fathers dwelt.
When a child at the foot of my
mother I knelt.
Where she taught me the prayers,
where she learned me the Page,
Which in infancy lisped in the
solace of age,
My heart mid all changes where-
ever I roam,
Never looses it’s love for the old
house at home.
’Twas not for it’s splendor, that
old house was dear,
’Twas not that the gay or the
noble was there.
O’er the porch the wild rose and
the woodbine entwined,
And the sweet scented Jassmine
waved in the wind.
Yet dearer to me than proud tur
rets or dome, ’
Are the halls of my fathers, the
old house at home.
But the old house is no longer a
dwelling for me,
For the home of the stranger
henceforth it must be.
No more shall I wander and roam
as a guest,
O’er the evergreen fields which
my father possessed.
Yet still in my slumbers sweet
visions will come,
Of the days that I spent in the
old house at home.
(My home in Scotland)

Is Springtime
Your Busy time?
Perhaps for
you,
spring is the busiest
season of the year. You
have so much to do you
hardly know whether
you’re going or coming.
At the end of the day
you’re entirely worn
out.
You’ll be wise, to
take time out to relax
at Dessy’s—take time
to cool off, think things
over. After a pause
you’ll go about your
business eager and re
freshed.

So you think it’s all right to be careless with
