OUR I S f Department Devc V I SOMET* I THINK ByF.A. ^IIIHIIIIIIMimilllllllllllllllllHIIIIIIIIIIHII NOTES THAT JAR THE adroit person who desires to acquire the full measure of success in whatever field of activity he may be situated always prepares the way to progress by a careful avoidance of striking the notes that jar. This person appieciates that harmony has everything to do with his advancement, and accordingly there Is at all times a strict observance of the niceties of congeniality. There must be between him and bis employer no jarring dissension, no conflicting argument, no incompatible exhibition of pique, irritation or paroxysms of high words. When sorety tried, and the future of his career seems to be uncertain, Mhe individual who has within him the basic material of which success Is composed controls his emotions and harmonizes his speech and action with what in his heart he knows to be right. In a moment or so the incllnatlpn to strike a discordant note is gone, and as his way becomes easier he forms the habit of pleasing, winning commendations and moving ahead in masterful strength. Many capable men and women, through their irascibility, tartness and acerbity, have struck the Jangling note oo the threshold of a brilliant course and ruined themselves for life., In times of excltem&nt and Irritation the one safe thing to do Is to hold the tongue. You may be young, witty and beautiful, endowed with natural gifts, but if In your home or in your field of occupation you persist In striking notes LYRICSOF LIFE By DOUGLAS MALLOCH THE NEW YEAR EAST HAVE no tears for other years.

Do not live in years that give Only old regret; Fortune is a fugitive? You must seek her yet, Time has closed the old year's door. But the New Year lies before? There your fortune lies, There awaits the prize! You will find no hope behind, Only falling night; But the enst Is glad and kind With the morning light.

The ideal loaf of bread is dome shaped, attractive In appearance, crust smooth, of u rich brown color, the crumb spongy, tender and of a delicious flavor of the wheat. Sponge Method. Take one quart of luke warm liquid, less one-half cupful If potato Is used; four teaspoonfuls of salt, one-half cupful of yeast, one cupful of mashed potato and three to four quarts of sifted flour. Mix and beat well then add one-half the hour ami sei to rise In a warm place over night. In the morning add two tablespoonfuls each of sugar and shortening and knead until the dough feels elastic and no longer sticks to the hands or hoard. Cover and let rise to double its bulk, then mold Into leaves. By cutting the dough down with a knife once or twice before molding, the texture ol' the bread is improved. Divide Into equal portions, stretching the outside of the loaf and pinching it top^'her underneath.

Work that is planned ahead, counts. Work on the catch as catch can system Is better than no work at all, but that Is all that can be said for It. If your job calls for various kinds of tasks arrange It on the budget system. Decide In advance the order In which It ought to be done to get the best results. Allot a certain amount of time to a certain part of your dally 1 duties, according to their Importance. If you know, before you begin. Just how you expect to proceed, and apSCHOOI t I i it is two and one-half to three times its original volume, depending upon the kind of flour used.
