This is the season for the full en joyment of the inviting field mush room; when we have plenty of rain the crop is abundant. During the months of July and August the mush rooms are more apt to be wormy than early or later in the season. It ls wise to look the mushooms over carefully before cooking. All fungi should be avoided when overripe or attacked by slugs. The medium in which they grow often causes a disagreeable odor and flavors. Authorities differ as to the digestibil ity of mushrooms, but nearly all agree that their nutritive value has been vastly exaggerated, although their pop ularity will continue, as their flavor and attrectiveaess will always be held in high esteem. Beefsteak and mushrooms may be enjoyed by the plainest of livers if ?he fu.-'Sii may b? gathered fresh in OUO'K own r.cusLboriiGCd. Mushroom Scramble.-Saute a cup ful ci' mushrooms cut linc in two ta blesponiui? of butter with a half a dozen well beaten eggs.

Sprinkle with pepper and salt and serve as soon aa the butter is melted. Mushrooms Baked til Cream.-Pre pare the mushrooms, arrange in a ba.k ing dish, season and pour over suffi cient cream to cover. Sprinkle with crumbs and bake. Servo from the baking dish. NECESSARY TO Ult Wholesome Fear Should by No Means Be Entirely Cast , Out by Mankind. Fear ls a word out of favor-almost la disgrace-in these days. We are exhorted zealously to be without fear, because there is nothing in the uni verse cf which we need to be afraid. Fear is said to be the beginning of folly, of failure, of disease and de struction. It cannot possibly bc tho beginning of wisdom or of any good thing. If we maintain that fear is a nec essary element in our philosophy of life, Ave are bes^t on every hand by a bewildering variety of cults which dis credit such philosophy as antiquated and unwholesome-a relic of that dreadful period before we had found out that all evils ure imaginary and that there is nothing but good in the universe. * * * In this world, where dangers abound, we ought to recognize fear as one of our very good friends. From the cra dle to the grave it is cur daily teacher, guardian and guide. * * * It is out of fear of the loathsome ness and fatal consequences of diseases of smallpox and the bubonic plague that men have so bent their energies to finding out means of pre vention and cure. It is because we are so wrought up with fear of the terrible white scourge, consumption, that the whole civilized world is now being organized to do battle against it. What Fear Has Done. Fear puts safety couplers onto cars and equips the railroads with block signals. It furnishes steamships with life preservers, beats and rafts, makes them virtually non-sinkable with wa tertight compartments, and now adds the wireless telegraph, so that they may never be out of reach cf some human ear that shall hear a call for help. It is fear that has given to us tbe modern sanitary home in the midst of a sanitary city, wherein we may dwell free from constant dread of "the pestilence that walketh In darkness and the destruction that wasteth at noonday." * * * Illustrations of thc practical uses of fear suggest themselves endlessly. We know that we are in an infinite uni verse, surrounded by infinite powers. We must yield obedience to these pow ers or suffer the consequences. Reasonable fear is the gift of God to his children. It keeps us in mind of our limitations. It gives us a live ly realization of the consequences of disobedience. It spurs us on to find out the real conditions that surround us, so that we may guard ourselves against evils and dangers. Out of the fertile soil of fear springs the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Pain la for All. "Be strong in pain," is the exhor tation which hangs cn the study wall over the desk of Emperor William of Germany. It is not "Be strong because there is no pain." It is not "Be strong be cause there is nothing to endure that requires your strength." It is, "Be strong in pain." And the plain mean ing is, there is pain for you, as there is for every man and woman in the world. You will fear it. You can't help that. The fear is wholesome. It will keep you from encountering pain recklessly. * . * Though love may, Indeed, cast out that base fear which cowers before God as a tyrant who inflicts unimagi nable punishments, must we not con tinue to fear, when we present before him who is perfect wisdom, perfect love and perfect holiness, our imper fect, ignorant, willful and sin-stained natures? We may say. and with good right, that we are children of God. and there fore of the same spiritual nature as he; but how infinite is the distance between our low e3tate and his height of holiness, and how shallow and thoughtless we are if we do not fear before him when we worship! The Winning Power. Christian arguments and appeals, re enforced by the power of Christian ex emple, are most persuasive, and bring many into the freedom of the Chris tian life. We should have more faith !n the power of appeals conveyed bi the pulpits and in the religious precs. Rut. best of all, whenever a true word is spoken for Jesus Christ, an ally of the truth appears in the Spirit of Ced working upon the minds ol' those who aear. and the ultimate explanation of lie fact that many are being led back :o religion is found in the unspeakable vearn'.ng of the Holy Spirit, and In ils tender and constant work i:i win ling the wills of errant men to an ac ceptance of the duties of tho orly ra jona! existence that i.s possible for nan-the life that is hid with Chris! n God. In v|pw of this great outreach j g and uplifting love 01 God for men. .ve ifould r.nt be surprised thai multi I udes are being drawn back to religion, j ivhile at the same line wo ought uever ? o Intermit prayerful and earnest ei- { ort to reach with the gospel those vho so greatly need its quickening md sustaining power.---Zion'? Herald J The Presence Ol Ged. We need the presence of God, not inly when we are beginning our work o set us in. but in the progress of it o further us with a continual help. If hat nt any time fail us, we are gone mt this ve may be sure of. that thc ?ord is with us wh'ie we are with him -Matthew Henry. EVERY TOWN NEEDS CLEANING There ls Always Geed Werk for a Village Improvement Society to Do. Even if yea live in a well-kept towr there is much that can be dcn~ to make it still more attractive, says the Kansas Industrialist. Work that you do with trees, shrubs, grass and the tin cans back in your alley will in crease the value cf your property and give you a good appetite. "For villase imnrovement to be most successful the city government and the private citizens must co operate." says M. F. Ahearn, assist ant professor of horticulture at the Kansas agricultural college. "Let the civic improvement club3, together with the municipal government, offer prizes for the best appearing lawn and the lawn showing the greatest improvement in looks. Garden con tests should be started and the pro ducer helped in selling his products. Get everyone interested in the work. Try to develop a community spirit and make each citizen feel that his aid is essential in carrying cut the plans for the betterment of his municipality. "Have a 'cleanup' day to begin with. Get the people interested in keeping i'.ie streets and especially the alleys clean. Dirty ailey? breed flies and disease. Plant shrubs end trees and ?..cw grass seed in the parkings. Prune 'he trees ard fight the tent caterpil lars and ether troublesome insects and tree diseases. Doctor those trees that are injured. Houses should be painted and the building of cement cralks and paving of streets started. "A village improvement society can be organized ro look after the differ ent phases f the work. Encouraging the better cultivation of Rowers, fruits and vegetables will Le one of Its du ties. The society can give an annual Sower show and demonstrate the ar tistic possibilities of each Sower. Lec tures riven by the organization will be useful, also. A great deal can be dcm in cleaning up and beautifying the school grounds and when Arbor day comes ?et it be observed by plant ing some properly selected shade trees, the work to bc under municipal control instead of bein? done wholly by individual landowners." ACTS AS COMMUNITY'S ?B Somewhat Novel But Useful Position Has Been Created by Uni versity of Illinois. Cities, towns, villages and country neighborhoods in illinois which want to better themselves have a new in strument to aid-the services of the community adviser, a novel position just created by the University of Iii nols. Dr. Robert E. Hieronymus, for merly president 01 Eureka college and until recenti secretary of the educa tional commission of Illinois, has been appointed to the position and has be gun his duties. While the university formerly was more than anxious to aid all commun ities in their betterment work, it was necessary for them to come to the uni versity. Now the university goes to the community, for practically all of the adviser's time will be occupied in traveUng over the state. ,The positicu is said to be a new one In the United States. The whole idea is based on the prin ciple that every community contains within itself tho means of its own bet terment and that social welfare is to be evolved from within, not laid ou from without. The first step in ob taining thos? betterments which can not come from individual enterprises alone, will be the attempt to develop a community consciousness. There is to he nothing of the "highbrow" In the movement-it ls designed to be in tensely practical, in terms that every ene cnn understand. The adviser will (?operate by visits and by correspondence with local or ganisations-agricultural, commercial, social and civic-in utilizing their lo cal education resources for the promo tic:! of vocational < lucation, especial ly in the new fields. Local school boards and teachers will be enlisted ::i .'Ms campaign. "!3cs?;iy Naed of America." Comparing the growth of the Ameri can people with the growth of a blade of grass,"Rabbi Abram Simon spoke ?it ?Philadelphia. "The Story or a Blade cf Grass'' waa bin.topic. "Sc small :i thing as a blade of grass carries a message to the Amerl .an p< opie," said Rabbi Simon. "From tire life of a blade of grass the people can taite a message ot life. Industry, democracy, service, and beauty. Speaking on the last of these, ho said: "Beauty ls the needfof our country. Americans have not realized the lesson taught by the blade ci _'russ. They have not learned to beau tify everything, hate dirt and filth, abolish things unlovely and rude. If they bad we would have no tenement districts, no crowded rookeries, no smoky^nanufacturing cities, and no 'garbage drama.' A blade of grass is a world all Its own if it inspires the American people to desire beauty." Woman Finally Recovers From Nervous Breakdown Impoverished nerves destroy many people before their time. Often be fore a sufferer realizes what the trouble is, ?ie is on the verge of a complete nervous breakdown. It is of thc utmost importance to keep your nervous system in good con dition, as the nerves arc thc source of all bodily power. Mr?.
