REAL COURAGE^
To be feared of a thing and yet do it,
la what makes the prettiest kind of a
man.—Robert Louie btevenaon.
F YOU have read “Kidnapped” yon
remember the quotation. It was
oken by Alan Breck after the boy,
David, had stood for a minute terrl-
fed on the bxink of a roaring torrent,
And tbenf still sick with the fear of

To Alan Breck, the leap meant lit
tle. It required no courage for him
to make It, for he knew very little of
fear. But for the boy. who did the
thing he feared as he feared death,
it was a real act of heroism.
The only real courage consists In
doing the thing we are afraid to do.
The hulking prizefighter of the John
Sullivan , type, who has as much im
agination ns a grizzly bear, is not
brave. He is sure he is going to win.
•It takes no courage to go into a win
ning fight.
The bully is never brave. In fact
he is always a coward. Feeling sure

dangerous thing for the kind of cour
age that counts.'
It is not a brave but a very foolish
man who walks a tight rope over

remember the quotation. It was not wanting to die, and knowing that
•oken by Alan Breck after the boy, an operatioa may send him out or
the world, cheerftilly goes to the
table, to take the one chance that
may mean his continued support of
his wife or his dependents.
Often the timid school boy, who
fears to quarrel, and tries his best to
keep his peace with his fellows, gets
the name of coward. But when this
same boy has to fight for what he
thinks is his honor, or to save a little
boy from a bully, he becomes a very
dangerous fighter.
Real courage is not daunted by pain.
The boy or the man who fights when
he is afraid to, stops being afraid of
anything, pain, or a black eye, or
punishment. He fights because he
has courage, and he usually wins.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
“QUARANTINE" j
T HE origin of a terra of 40
days—a "quarantine”—as n
sanitary precaution against the
spread of various diseases is lost
in the dim mazes of early ori
ental history. days was
the period devoted to ancient
times to the burial of the dead, j
The spies of the Israelites spent
40 days in Canaan before they
submitted the report. Jonah
gave the residents of y&eweh 40 •
days in which to consider his ;
prophecy and repent^ Christ. \
Moses and Elijah each fasted for
40 days—the Christian observ
ance of Lent being a commemor
ation of the most notable of
these. Under William the Con
queror no man was permitted to
remain In England more than
40 days without paying a tax
of some kind, while under the
Magna Charta it is provided that
a widow shall remain 40 days
In the house of her deceased
husband before being allotted
her dowry.
The modem sanitary adapta
tion of the quarantine \vas es
tablished by the' French along
the Mediterranean In order to
prevent the Introduction of
plague from the eastern coup-
tries,- but apparently the only
reason for the arbitrary setting
of such a “time Is that it forms
one of the periods resulting from
a division of the lunar year by
the mystic number dine.

WHAT TO EAT
TF ONE has an old fashioned Scotch
kettle with an iron cover there are
so many toothsome dishes which may
be prepared by cooking In it.
Chicken, the ordinary fried chicken,
never tastes half so appetizing as
when it is cooked in.this little iron
kettle, covered" so tightly that all the
flavors and juices are caught and stay
in the delicious morsels of tender
meat. Put the chicken with a little
butter and sweet lard mixed into th6
hot kettle and stir until each piece is
lightly browned, then add a table*
spoonful of watqr, colter tightly and
cook slowly, adding a tablesp<mnful
of water occasionally as it is needed
when the moat gets brown. The secret
fbi« kind of /-.^Linp. i# in keeping
little water ns possible to steam
;. the .neat. Each piece will
moist, brown, and weH cooked,
seasoning is added when the
chicken has teen first browned.
Parsnip*
Cook frrgh hard parsnips in boUl
catted sratee aatll tender. Peal a
cut in halves lengthwise. In a fry
ing pan have a tablespoonful or two
of bacon or other sweet fat, lay in the
parsnips, sprinkle lightly* with sugar,
salt and a dash of cayenne and brown
on both sides.
Another way of serving pars.dps is
to'cook them until tender, mash and
drop a spoonful Into n fritter batter;
when coated, fry in deep* fat. Serve
hot with roast.

And life’s all right.
A time to meet, a time to part;
Friends come and go.
Hand clasping hand, heart beats to

— Comes joy, comes woe.
The radiant light of clear blue skies,
The welcome gleam of children's eyes
Make hearts grow light.
A battle won for those loved best.

Evcnus, who lived about 450 P. C., Is
the earliest author known to write of

Instead of becoming penitent and
j afraid he became enraged and cut the
roll leaf by'leaf and threw It Into the
fire until It was consumed. This be
did npiinst the intercesaion «f some
of the princes. When the mil* was

IV. The Roll Rewritten (vv. 27-32).
The burnt roll was reproduced by
the command of the Lord, and many
like words were added unto them. We
shqiild learn from this Incident—
The Indestructibility of God’s
Word. Men may cut it to pieces and
bum It. but the Word of God shall
stand forever. It comes to light again
with woes added to be visited upon
its would-be destroyers.
2. The reason men attempt to de
stroy God's Word. It Is because of the
authoritative rebuke of their sins, The
Bible arraigns man for his pride and
wickedness and asserts God's sover
eign power over man and his demand
for a* personal surrender unto Him
and worship of Him.
3. The Method of Attempted De
struction of God’s Word. It was part
by part. “When Jehudi had read
tlfree or four leaves he cut it with a
penknife.” The rationalist today cuts
out the biblical conception of God as
a being whose essential nature de
mands punishment of sin; therefore
he cuts out the Bible doctrine of man
ns created of God in His likeness and
image. Instead of that he makes
man a product of evolution; therefore
be explains away the fall of man.

Highest Quality—Lowest Prices
The entire Goodyear effort of many
years has been toward one result—
the tire buyer’s advantage.
Goodyear has taken two methods to
achieve that result.
One has been to raise the quality of Goodyear Tires.
The other, to lower Goodyear prices. *
M
Goodyear has succeeded in both—to your great
advantage. „
Goodyear Tires are better today than ever—larger,
heavier and stronger. Many users tell us they are
getting double the mileage from them they got
from Goodyears ten years ago. . ...
Goodyear prices are lower today than ever. On the
average they have decreased more than 60% from
the prices of 1910.
Look at the figures listed below.
Think of the fine performance of the Goodyears you
have known, and remember that Goodyear Tires
are giving even better performance now.
You can get these tires at your Goodyear Service
