PRESENTS A NOVEL IDEA
A really novel and commendable
iden is at present being fostered by
Mine. Grace Porterfield Polk, eminent
composer, who has established In the
small city of Greenwood, Ind., the
"Greenwood Community House” where
the struggling unknown composers
may occasionally meet and exchange
ideas with the veterans and success
ful members of the profession. In
tills manner Mine. Polk hopes to cre
ate a center for composers, and there
by to foster and help the composition
of masterpieces expressing the ideas
and ideals of the people of today, and
to make America a real “Land of
Song” by means of yearly conventions.
Why Worry?
Multitudes of people seriously mar
their lives by continually dwelling
upon disagreeable possibilities, antici
pating unhappy experiences, most of
which are never realized; many seem
to he so made up thut they are the
victims of worry, just ns some people
nre made up to be gullible, says New
Success. They catch every excuse that
comes along for Indulging their worry
ing propensities.
A colored woman reminded her easy
going husband that the rent had to be
paid In six days.
“Then we sure don’t have to worry
about It for the next five days.” he
replied. "It’s ’nougb to worry on the
day It Is due. when It must he paid.”
Some people might learn a lesson
from this philosophical husband aud
not worry until they have to.

CpOKERY FOR THE CONVALES
CENT.
Economy and variety may perfectly
well go together—the better the cook,
the greater the economy. Economy
means getting full value for the ex
penditure. whether It Is money or time.
In the majority of homes the care
of the sick falls upon the people In
the home as one
cannot always get
a nurse or pay
for one.
The greatest
care should be
taken In the se
lection and cart*
of fowl for the
sick. The first requisite is cleanliness.
The patient should have as much of
n variety ns possible, as those who
are ill have poor appetites and tire of
sameness in food much sooner than
those who are well.
The physician's orders should al
ways he followed nnd no pew food
should be Introduced without first in
quiring us to wisdom of the change.
Those recovering from fever have
an abnormal appetite which cannot be
satisfied with safety. Many have lost
their lives by being allowed some food
which was craved, hut which the pa
tient could not digest.
The liquid diet may he varied In
such a manner that it never becomes
monotonous. In beginning n more
solid diet cure should be takeu to have
the change very gradual.
Chicken Panada.—Remove the skin
nnd every particle of fat from the
breast of a chicken. If the fowl is a
large one half of the breast will be
sufficient. IMace in a saucepan with
enough water to cover and si miner
slowly for two hours, or until the meat
Is very tender. Take it from the broth
and cut it into small pieces, then press
through a sieve, using a large spoon.
Add the broth to the chicken, season
to taste with a bit of salt. Add four
tahiespoonfuls of cream and bring to
the boiling point. Serve In a pretty
bowl with crisp bits of toast cut In
fancy shapes.
Meat Pate.—Scrape with n small tin
spoon a piece of beef cut from the
round. This removes the tender meat
fU»ers nnd leaves the connecting tissue
which is tough and hard to digest.
Press the scraped beef into a flat cake
and broil In a smoking hot pan or toast
on a forfi over coals. Season it to
taste before making It up into halls.
Serve on triangles of toast garnished
with parsley.
DAINTY DISHES FOR OCCASIONS.
To save money by going without ne
cessities is bad economy, but to waste
anything lessens your wealth, the
wealth of your country and the wealth
of the world.—American Cookery.
The following dishes are like "leis
ure, a splendid garment, but not fit
for constant
wear."
Chicken F i I -

fine shredded yellow rind, one tnble
spoonful of ornnge Juice, and one ta
