When Mrs. Harry Stinespring finished her di amatlc review of the book, "Love is Eternal," at the Lecture Luncheon club meeting held last week at the Mc- Henry Country Club, there was hardly a dry eye in the crowd. She lived that story, and so did her audience. It is a story of Abraham Lincoln and his wife, Mary Todd Lincoln. Mrs. Paul Brefeld has an advance order in to Santa Claus this year. What she wants is not very expensive, but yet, it can't possibly be measured in dollar value. She wants her son home from Japan*for Christmas. Anyone have any influence with Santa? Or Uncle Sam?

He (an ex-pharmacist) used to boil herbs for medicinal purposes and even make cold creams, also by hand. The Leroy Smiths and a group of McHenry friends took their three Canadian guests to Chicago for dancing last week.

SIEFFAN'S MUSIC STORE 514 Main St. Phone 12S-J "Use Our Christmas Lay-Away" j! m pliii X- -• 4VS?»S ; This is the popular new l-£-l F^uff Method of cooking rice. Combine 1 cup of uncooked rice, two cups of water and 1 teaspoon of salt in a large saucepan with a tight fitting lid. Bring to a boil over high heat in the open saucepan. Then turn heat down as low as po&sible. Cover saucepan, and cook until rice is tender. Recommended cooking time is usually included on the package of rice. For best results, add a bit of lemon juice to rice before cooking; this keeps that snowy whiteness. After rice is done, to96 lightly with a fork, then replace lid and let stand about 5 minutes to fluff the rice. < Don't wash or rinse rice; you lose valuable vitamins and min-4? erals. Don't peek when booking rice; it lets out steam, lowers temperature. Don't stir rice after it comes to a boil; this mashes grains and makes the rice gummy.

" < Matches' -- Smoking Chief cause, not only of home fires but of all fires, continues to be matches and smoking -- as it has been for years. To prevent such fires, the National Board of Fire Underwriters advises these sinfple, safety precautions: 1. Provide plenty of big ashtrays -- the kind that won't tip over easily -- and use them! 2. Never throw a cigarette or match from a car window. Use the car ashtray instead. 3. Never smoke in bed! . 4. When emptying ashtrays, be Sure every match and butt is out. 5. Never tbBs a lighted match away. Hold it for a minute after blowing it out, then put it in an ashtray. 6. Before going to bed, especially after entertaining, inspect the living room or game room to be sure no butts are smoldering under cushions or on tables. Electrical Hazards Misuse of electricity is also responsible for many home fires each year. Here's how to guard against the sparks and overheating that result in electrical fires: 1. Fifteen ampere fuses are recommended for most household circuits. Never use oversize fuses or tamper with the 6nes already in the box. 2. Don't try to run too many appliances from one outlet; you will overload the circuit. If fuses blow frequently even' without overloading, have an electrician inspect the Wiring. 3. Look for the UL label on ,all electric cords ffhd appliances you bu!y. it means they passed Uhdervfrtters" Laboratories tests for fire and shock safety. 4. When electric cord or apliance needs repairs, -don't 'let-a /'home handyman" tinker with it. •Take it to in electrician. 5. Extension or repairs to wiring' is also a. jdb for a professional. Wirfcg iione by qiriateiirs has caused ritahy fires. ' 6. Don't string wires over hooks or around nails, or run them under'rugs whe^e they ihay be walked on. Insulation VWH tiregk •or wear out. ; .
