afternoon refreshment may be light and
simple-an egg beaten up in orange juice at
one and glass of milk at the other, but
they should be eaten regularly.
Al the other meals more eggs and milk,
toasted bananas, tenderoin steak, hot choc-
oate, whipped cream, baked potatoes.
cream soups of various kinds, and similar
fat-producing food. Coffee tea, lemonade,
condiments-pickIes, olives and the like
should he used sparingly. Toast should be
almost prohibited; gluten whole wheat, rye,
Boston brown or graham bread partaken of
instead.
Green salads dressed with plenty of pure
oil, and only dash of lemon juice are valu-
able. The salad leaves are really merely a
vehicle for oil, more oil, and still oil. 1t

learn to consume by increasing the quantity

A New Sandwich.

The Boston Cooking School is authority
for the latest style in sandwiches. Here is
the method of procedure: Clean one quart
selected oysters, dry between towles, dip in
batter, fry in deep fat and drain. Arrange
two oysters on lettuce leaf and serve
between two thin slices of bread slightly
buttered. For the batter beat two eggs I'M
til stiff. Add one teaspoonful of salt and a
few grains of pepper. Add one cupfuI of
bread flour and milk, enough to make a
thin batter or about three quarters of cup.
If butter is too hard and cold working it
for few minutes with wooden spoon will
make 1T easier to spread. Lettuce should be
washed carefully, shaken free from water
end kept cold and crisp.

For the Young Wife.

OF course you want your mother-ir law to
gain daughter, not loose a son, when you
are married. If so, treat her with conf
dence, as you would your own mother, and
it will 60 a great way toward making her
love you. The young wife will sometimes
say: 81 know I never shall feel at ease
with my husbands mother-she is so cold
and distant. don't believe she likes me :"
Perhaps it was her own GOODNESS that caused
her to see lack of warmth in her mother
in.law's manner. PERHAPS the latter
thought she had lost her son, and had not
yet come to realizs that she had gained a
daughter by the means. You must act to-
ward her in such manner that she will
soon respect and love you as her own.

Great are the achievements of contempt
rary science in the department OF therapeu-
tics. No one who has undertaken to raise
family can fail, or at least should fail, to
be thankful for anti-toxine. 1t has really
annihilated the worst terrors of diphtheria,
and grateful voices rejoice in it wherever it
has been used. Its success revives hope
that the wise men will presently learn to
deal effectualIy with the bacilli of consumr-
ton, and Of cancer, too. if it should turn
out, as begins to be suspected, that cancer

How to Put on Gloves.

1t may seem unnecessary to tell how t.
put on pair of gloves for the first time yet
everyday one sees somebody doing the
wrong way. The hands must be perfectly
cool and dry. After the fingers and thumb
are in fasten the second button from the
bottom, coming to the first button last. Re-
move the glove from the wrist and not by
the fingers. SO that all the moisture may
dry. In p ting away gloves they should
not be rolled, but laid together lengthwise
Light gloves may be cleansed with -four,
and rubbed places in black suede or kid
covered with mixture of olive oil an ink
and left to dry.-Ex.

often abused and misunderstood, as in
actual experience the number among them
found unreasonable and "hard to get along
with" is very small. You know "even
worm will turn" when abused, and perhaps
the one who started the stories about mean
mothers-!n-law and step-mothers had been
abusing one of them and she turned on him
and gave him "a piece of her mind" thus
fastening upon her class reputation for a
sharp tongue.
The secret is to forget that your husbands
mother is your mother-in.law. Just think
of her and treat her as your mother and all
will be "merry as wedding bell.''
Always preserve discreet silence with
regard to family matters, and remember
that what you learn about your husbands
family is to be kept to yourself; that wheD
you married him and took his name you be-
came one of the family, and the little
trouble, the little skeleton, is not to be dis.
which you were born. To your sister 1t
may mean nothing that some trouble has
come to your husbands brother. You may
tell it to her in secrecy, and it may seem of
so little importance that she will repeat it
her sister-in-iaw and gradually what was
meant to be kept quiet is told all around
the neighborhood.
The art of keeping to yourself what you
hear on each side of the house is one that
you must cultivate. for IL means the keep
ing of psace. When you enter his mothers
house, anything that is told you in conf
dence must he forgotten when you leave it,
unless. indeed it is discussed with your hus-
band.
Don't imagine that every little frown.
every little disagreeable word is meant for
you, and do not retail to your husband any.
thing unpleasant that may have happened
when you were visiting at his mothers
house. Think that she is your mother, too,
and give her the privilege of speaking to
you as your mother does.-Farm, Field and
Fireside.

A HELPFUL CORNER.
Kindergartens in the South.


We have just noticed an able editorial in
one of our State papers along this line and
we feel called upon to exert all the Influence
possible upon this good work. A work
much needed in the South. AS the writer
says, the first. and most important is that
the children need it to start them Alright in
the channels of wisdom and usefulness, and
this, We know, will last forever.
1t matters not how beautifully they may
build the superstructure in after years, it is
for the parents, guardians and teachers to
lay the foundations firm, strong and endur-
ing, if we would aid them in true character
building.
The mother needs the kindergarten to
assist her in directing the child's natural
activities into pleasant and useful play, and
to that self control upon which depends the
peace and happiness Of the home and the
child's whole lfa. The mothers time is
necessarily too much occupied to give SUI
ficient attention and thought to the prepar-
alton for this important work, and the three
hours which the child should spend in the
Kindergarten would be of great assistance
to her, and it should be her duty and pleas
ure to read and think on this subject of
child-culture. And to impress at home the
principles instllled at the kindergarten,
that the harm onious continuity of his life be
fostered at all times.
The community needs the Kindergarten
for there is nutured the embryo citizens
who are one day to fill the places of trust
now occupied by the men and women of to-
day. The more pletely we can develop
the child life the more perfect will be the
man and woman fulfilling ife's purpose in
broader noble lines, Here are developed
the principles of justice, honesty, clearness
of thought and purpose, ali of which are
necessary for the formation Of true and law
abiding citiz ems.
The church needs the kindergarten, for
there are planted in the young child's mind
thoughts, of love ard reverence for the
Heavenly Father, observation of His work
and and tender regard for all His crea.
lures. : There, too, the child begins his obser-
vations of cause and effect, and is led to the
great cause of all good and to establish a
closer relationship with his Heavenly
Father.
In the kindergarten are laid the founda-
ton principles of righteousness that should
be, fostered and cherished by the church
into noble, beautiful and holy living.
Who is ready to help push on this noble
causefor childhood home, community and
church?

The confidence of the Platt men is, how

well known that Platt will never stand a

positive he has enough votes to elect him.

receives the nomination it would be both
unwise and impolitic for him to do so.
