ATTENTION IIousEk REFERS. "A writer
referring to the necessity of system in
househeepors, says n good housckeeper
weeks food. she will know when til,
cook should have sufficient stock te
make soup; and every housewife will
soon find how expecting the soup to la
made, and explaining how it must he
done, will form the habit of having il
done. Our servants are very much
what we mako them, and il has been
the lazy and insufficient system that
housekeeping has degonorated into,
that has make servants what they are.
Take any factory, for example. Would
any workman perform his work salts
faetorily without the forcman's supervi-
sion2 Would even the foreman per-
form his without masterY No; mn
lsss We quietly supervise our servants
work. correct them gently, and praise
them when deserved, we cannot expect
good work done.
How TO EAT MuK.-Thorc are many
who say: 81 like milk, Tut milk does
not like mc'-that is, il does not agree
with them. The reason for this, IN
most cascs, il, that the milk congulates
in the stomach in too firm curd TO be
easily dgested But many who cannot
drink milk, or eat bread and milk, find
no difficulty III digesting bowl OF
baked apples and milk Upon this hint
the experiment has been successfully
tried, by physician Of large experience
telling his patients who could not iii.
gest milk, 10 Use apple sauce Ms u con
comitant, taking spoonful Of apple
alternately with spoonful OF bread,
crackers or pudding and milk. The
apple prevents the formation of solid
mass in the stomach, and its juice also
aids digestion. 80 that no distress or
sense Of heavincss follows after a meal
thus taken. This information is given
for the benefit OF all readers, and we
think il will be worthy Of trial, though
perhaps not successful in every Gaze.
