Grief makes hope a solace, and desolation makes it the brightest flower that adorns earthly creation, while even disappointment and delusion whisper darkness out of the sky of today into sunshine of tomorrow.—Thomas Armitage. SIMPLE JOYS THROUGH SPECTACLES The man who always puts on his spectacles when eating cherries that the fruit may look larger and more tempting is not so stupid as he may seem. It is the one who gets the most out of simple pleasures to whom life is kindest. It is the sensible people who put on spectacles, and rose-colored ones at that when circumstances prevent them from indulging in any but the simplest forms of amusement. One trouble with the world is that so many are not content with pleasures that are harmless and ennobling and so indulge in those forms of entertainment that call for excitement, for novelty and variety, and that lead to excess. Be they ever so able financially to indulge themselves, these people are not happy, for they have outgrown their taste for real pleasures, and these other makeshifts fail to satisfy. The constant craving for a thrill is never satisfied but for a moment, and then the desire is for a still more thrilling thrill. The great quest of humanity is for happiness and contentment. How much greater satisfaction in life for the one who One trouble with the world is that so many are not content with pleasures that are harmless and ennobling and so indulge in those forms of entertainment that call for excitement, for novelty and variety, and that lead to excess. Be they ever so able financially to indulge themselves, these people are not happy, for they have outgrown their taste for real pleasures, and these other makeshifts fail to satisfy. The constant craving for a thrill is never satisfied but for a moment, and then the desire is for a still more thrilling thrill. The great quest of humanity is for happiness and contentment. How much greater satisfaction in life for the one who can enjoy pleasures that are simple and harmless than for those who are constantly searching for novelty in entertainment. An English statesman says that we live more in a pleasure seeking than a pleasure finding age. The homely philosophy of James Whitecomb Riley, when applied to life, makes for happiness: "It hain't no use to grumble and complain; It's just us cheap and easy to rejoice— When God sorts out the weather and sends rain, home, rain's my choice." Games and valentine observance of Western Europe will do well to discountenjoy pleasure to the hearts between Greece and Turkey. Europe should one receive a few horrors of the last few years and discourage some Irs, large or small. SERVING THE STOMACH An observer from Mars might be excused for making the deduction that the people of the earth, at least this corner of it, have for their motto, "We live to eat," considering how much time is spent producing, manufacturing and preparing food, eating it, and then earning money to buy more. Nature requires that we repair the waste in our bodies with nourishment, but there is no demand for anything but the simplest forms, simply prepared. Some housewives like to temp their families with dainty and appetizing mixtures of old kinds, and most families like to be tempted that way, but the custom is conducive to continued good health, especially for those who have reached or are nearing middle age. It needs to be thought that ill health was a dispensation of the Almighty and that a person was fleshy because an all-wise Providence decreed it so. But now we know that three-fourths of the ills of mankind are due to indiscretions in diet and that no one is fleshy unless he or she overeats. Of course some thin people are gluttonous, the surplus food they eat does not make fat. Many people do not overeat. More people are eating sensibly today than ever before, but if those of us who do eat too much should reduce our diet one-half and spend half the time now consumed in preparing and eating and thinking about our food in improving our minds, what a cultured people we might become, not alone in the knowledge we might gain in the time set aside for reading, but in our emancipation from the reign of the stomach that holds so many of us down to earth. We cannot serve two masters, and when the stomach rules, the individual cannot make much progress, either mentally or spiritually. A life without ideals is as a rainbow without colors.

"Is this a speedometer?" she asked, as she tapped on the glass which covered that instrument. "Yes, dear," he replied in a sweet, gentle voice. "Don't they call this the dash light?" she queried, fingering the little nickel-plated illuminator. "Yes, honey," his words floated out softly as before. "And is this the cut-out?" she inquired. "Yes, Toodles," as he took his foot off the accelerator. Not more than 200 feet away their course was blocked by a fast moving train. "But what on earth is the funny looking pedal?" she said in a curious tone, as she gave the accelerator a vigorous push with her dainty foot. "This, sweetheart, is heaven," he said in a soft, celestial voice, as he picked up a gold harp and flew away. The habitual inebriate was met at the door by his trate spouse. He had a large swelling on his forehead and bore traces of a recent nose-bleed. "You drunkard," she said, "you have been fighting again." No, 'm'dear." "Dont tell me 'No,' how did you get that bump on your forehead?" "I bumped it on the chand' kleer." Ridiculous, how could you bump it on the chandelier? "I stood up on a chair."

GILMORE, ANAHEIM AGENT, PHONE 129 ANAHEIM CIGAR STORE, 112 W. CENTER The Sanitary Laundry 225 West A. W. Cleaver, Prop. Phone Santa Fe Ave. FULLERTON 26 SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1925 COMMENTS of the PRESS What Editors Are Saying HALTING IN GOVERNMENTAL ACTION—San Diego Union The halting progress typical of most American official transactions with foreign countries is the fault of the machinery set up for American use in such transactions. That machinery, in turn, in cumbersome, because it aims to be democratic. War-time pressure is about the only influence that can cause foreign business to be transacted directly and speedily at Washington, and even under war-time conditions, the speed is not what might be called excessive. This cumbersome handling of foreign affairs is particularly noticeable at the present time, with the French debt negotiations, the commercial treaties with Germany, and the investigation of the Lausanne treaty all coming up for consideration of the United States Senate. If efficiency were the sole objective, this condition of affairs would be easy to remedy. Our foreign affairs would almost certainly be better managed if the constitution could be suspended; the state department made supreme, and the business of international relations turned over exclusively to an intelligent and well-informed executive—a man like Mr. Hughes. An arrangement of that sort would be much more businesslike than the present one, and it would also give critics of the state department something real to talk about. As things are now, every secretary of state must disperse his energies in several unrelated lines of activity. He and his emissaries must negotiate advantageously—where possible—with the foreign diplomats; he must also negotiate with the President; and he must also arrange to conciliate the foreign relations committee of the United States and the principal blocs which are influential outside that committee on the floor. The secretary of state is in the position of a chess player who engages to play simultaneous games with three opponents. When people criticize the state department—in itself or any other administration—for being ineffective, they may mean that the secretary is not so good a chess player as his foreign opponent, or they may mean that he is not so good a player as the President, or they may mean that he has been repeatedly outmaneuvered by the statesmen, near-statesmen and astute politicians of the Senate. The criticism is a criticism of results, taking no account of methods, and the results may be due entirely to the prescribed methods—a cause over which the gentleman at the secretary's desk has absolutely no control. The criticisms therefore are generally vague and somewhat pointless. Democracy is decidedly not efficient. In criticizing the inefficiencies of any particular department of a democracy, therefore, it is most appropriate to distinguish between them—condemning of course, only those inefficiencies which are not consequent upon democracy itself. Our government will have to expend an enormous amount of energy and expert consideration, before it will be able to arrive at any arrangement for the French debt funding, for example. Much, and likely most, of this energy and study will be expended upon matters which have very little to do with a financially rea- Married But Recently Sir John Salmond has been unquite recently in full military command at Bagdad and of the Suphrates Valley. It may be remembered that in the late fall of last year he married the Hon. Monlea Grenfell, daughter of Lord Desborough. He is the son of the late Gen. Sir William Salmond, a distinguished officer of the Royal Engineers, who for a time was Inspector-General of Fortifications, and who himself was the son of Col. Sir James Salmond, a gallant officer of the Napoleonic wars in the early part of the last century and also a county magistrate of Cumberland. Is Comparatively Young Sir John is but 43 years of age and one of the youngest men of the rank of Lieutenant-General since the restoration of peace. He got his schooling at Wellington and Sandhurst, joined the army in the closing stages of the Boer war, when he won distinction under Kitchener. He was among the first to appreciate the military importance of aviation and to devote himself to its development, learning at his own expense to fly at the Grahame-White school at Hendon. And on the formation of the army air force he secured his transfer from the Royal Lancaster regiment to the Royal Flying Corps. As for his feats of aviation during the great war, they are best shown by his long string of British and foreign orders of knighthood and by the fact that the proclamation of the armistice found him as General Commander-in-Chief of the British Royal Flying Forces in France.

HEALTH & DIET ADVICE By Dr. Frank McCoy Author of "THE FAST WAY TO HEALTH" GOOD PROTEID FOOD (Continued) CHICKEN AND TURKEY: Young chickens are best prepared by broiling, but the meat of the mature chicken has undoubtedly more real food value, and is best prepared by roasting. If the chicken is too old or tough, boiling is often the only way it can be satisfactorily prepared, but often parboiling the chicken for a time will break down the toughness enough to permit the cooking to be finished by baking in the oven. In such way the juices of the meat are retained more than in any form of preparation by boiling, and this seems to impart a more desirable flavor. The most injurious food at a chicken dinner is usually the stuffing which is cooked inside of the chicken, made out of sticky white bread, and over-seasoned with sage and onions. However, a fine stuffing may be made out of the following mixtures: Grind through a food grinder a suitable number of dried, whole-wheat muffins, which have been made from real whole-wheat flour. Moisten this with a small amount of milk, and add any desired quantity of the following: Ground celery, raisins, and minced olives. Mix these together in any proportion desired, being cautious not to use too many raisins. The mixture must not be made too moist or too dry, and experience only will teach you the exact proportion of foods needed to impart the flavor which you will most enjoy. Ground Melba toast may be substituted for the ground whole-wheat muffins, and a dressing made with this will be relished by some people even more. TURKEY: Turkey is roasted in the same way as chicken, and the same dressing may be used. "There goes a customer that'll come back!
