Why shouldn't the poorest of us work at least one day a month for the families of these men? That is not much to ask--twelve days a year, as against three hundred and sixty-five, especially as the three hundred and sixty-five are spent in constant danger of death from bullets, bombs or exposure to weather.

When it is only blood warm stir it with a wooden paddle or spoon until it begins to crumble; then it should be kneaded in the hands like dough. Pack it into a bowl, with a thin cloth slightly moistened and set it away until needed. Fruit Deserts.
