WOMAN AND HOME 
From Day to Day 
The Purpose of Life 
Courage, brave soul! The ledgy pathway 
yonder, 
O’er windy slopes, will lead to meadows 
sweet; 
Turn not aside, nor let thy glances wan¬ 
der 
To find a smoother turfage for thy 
feet. 
True to thine aim. still journey on un¬ 
daunted. 
Led by the stars that beckon over¬ 
head ; 
With mind intent, thy footsteps, firmly 
planted, 
Shall crush to even line the stones they 
tread. 
The birds that circle o’er the sedgy hol¬ 
lows, 
The ■coming tides, that backward sweep 
and roll. 
Each has its purpose, and in wisdom fol¬ 
lows 
The devious ways that bring it to its 
goal. 
Theirs to renew the quest with every 
morning, 
But thine to mount serener heights 
than they; 
To seek the truth, all baser pleasures 
scorning, 
Holding thy course where Honor points 
the way. 
Nor rest thee there; the gain is won for 
others; 
Thy firmer poise must steady those 
who fall; 
To higher levels lift thy weaker brothers; 
God gave thy powers because He needs 
them all.

Paint spots may be removed from fab¬ 
rics by laying the material on blotting 
paper, paint side down, and then spong¬ 
ing carefully with chloroform, which is 
a solvent for paint. Replace the blotting 
paper with a fresh piece as it becomes 
saturated. This treatment removes paint 
from fabrics that could not be washed in 
the ordinary way.

An old-fashioned recipe for damson 
preserve calls for oven cooking. The 
fruit is weighed, then pitted, an equal 
quantity of sugar weighed out. and the 
fruit and sugar put in a stone crock in 
alternate layers. The juice of two lem¬ 
ons is squeezed over all. the jar closely 
covered and the fruit then cooked in a 
moderate oven, without stirring, for three 
hours. Seal in jelly glasses.

How many of our friends who were 
earning and saving last year for the pur¬ 
chase of War Savings Stamps have con¬ 
tinued this form of thrift? While we 
continue to call these securities “War” 
Savings Stamps, they are to remain with 
us in peace and give us all a chance to 
become partners with Uncle Sam. Schools 
and factories everywhere are forming 
thrift clubs for such investment. We do 
not know how far the movement has ex¬ 
tended in the more isolated rural com¬ 
munities, but we think early familiarity 
with these sound Government securities 
would protect many small investors from 
worthless stocks.

Anyone interested in soldiers or sail¬ 
ors who have been disabled while in ser¬ 
vice should apply to the Federal Board 
for Vocational Education. 200 New Jer¬ 
sey Avenue Northwest. Washington, B. 
C.. for information concerning the train¬ 
ing given to men so handicapped. It is 
not unusual for a man who has lost a 
limb, or is otherwise handicapped, to be 
so trained for a special vocation that he 
can fill a better-paid position than before 
this physical misfortune. The work now 
being done in this line is encouraging, 
also, to civilians who have met with some 
crippling accident; it gives courage and 
hope, and shows, as one old proverb says, 
that when one door shuts another opens.

Tomato Paste 
Would you give me a recipe for tomato 
paste for keeping for Winter use? 
HRS. j. R. 
As a space-saver in canning and a time- 
saver in cooking, the U. S. Food Admin¬ 
istration says that tomato paste will 
commend itself to the thrifty. Get rid 
of the water in fresh tomatoes and you 
can pack all the food value, flavor and 
color in one-tenth of the original space. 
Bottle the paste in any size bottle, cork 
and seal for use in soups and sauces One 
teaspoon of paste will make one dish of 
soup. 
Boil the tomatoes until soft. Crush 
thoroughly and pass through a fine sieve 
or screen to take out the skins and woody 
portions of the pulp. Place the pulp and 
juice which pass the screen in a shallow 
pan and boil down gently over a slow 
fire to a thick consistency. Then place 
it over hot water or in a slow oven where 
the heat is not sufficient to cause the
