the young man for a sonin.aw. We need ad.
wee and need IL bad. Il doesn't do any good
to oppose the match II only makes those two
fools fierce to get married. What shall we do9
= s..
The request is a little out OF the line
OF household economies as planned by
the editor of this column, yet rather
than dsappoint a subscriber we would
state that two courses are open for
breaking up such a love affair. The
first is somewhat radical and consists
of chloroformlng the would-be BRIDE
groom. IL this is considered imprac-
ticable, invite him to visit your family
for an indefinite period. BE very cor
dial to him and the fond maiden will
soon grow tired of her choice when no
opposition is encountered. In fact,
there is nothing TO be suggested so
effective in breaking up romantic
attachment as bringing the two young
people so constantly in each others
society as to disturb the romance of
the situation. Try 1t, Mr.. ]. S., and IL
1t fails, there is always the chloroform
alternative. you know.
Among the recipes asked for are
those which appear below. II is re-
quested that all correspondents de-
string special recipes or wishing TO
publish favorites will send in their
communications by Thursday. Cores
pondence on household matters is So
licited. Address, Household Editor"
Pineapple Food.-Quick. cold desserts are con.
venient in torrid weather. Crate pineapple
fine, add one.half cup Of sugar (or less). Drop
candied cherry or small spoonful OF jelly in
runch glass and cover with the pineapple. Place
on ice for twenty minutes. When ready to
serve add spoonful Of whipped cream to each
glass and a canded cherry jelly on top.
Sweet Picked Pears.-Ten pounds pears, not
quite ripe, pare and cook in boiling water till
TENDER remove fruit and strain water Take ere
quart Of this water, add TO it one quart OF virc-
gar, five pounds sugar, one-half cup OF nXed
whole cloves, alspice, mace and stick cinnamon;
put on to boil half an hour, then add the pears,
and when well scaded pack in glass jirsi boil
the rest OF the water down until enough to cover
| fruit; pour it over and seal.
In planning a wcll.baanced diet the fellow
| ing points must be considered:
l. lis use of any considerable arnoem et fat
meat OF staIchy food should be cfsct by the use
Of some material rich in protein Thus, Il
roast pLrk is to be eaten for dinnsr, veal, fsh,
or lean beef might well be eaten for breakfast
or supper, or both. Bean soup furnishes con-
siderable amount of protein, while boulllon con-
somme or tomato soup are practically useless
as a source Of nutriment. Skim milk also fur
nishes protein, but very little accompanying fsts
| and carbohydrates to increase the fuel value.
2. The Of lean meats or fish ior all three
meals would require the use Of such foods az
rice, tapioca or corn starch pudding, consider,
able quantities OF sugar and butter, and more
vegetables, in order to furnish sufficient fuel
value.
| 3. Since flour, sugar. and butter or lard enter
very largely into pastries and desserts the larger
| the quantities of these dishes that are consumed
| the larger does the fuel value tend to become,
as compared with the protein.
