THE MUsH ERA

The manufacture of oatmeal was in
troduced into this country about fifty
years ago. Cracked wheat and similar
preparations followed. The whole pop
ulation began eating mush. Result:
Ambiguous dyspepsia, universal sour
stomach, constipation, disordered livers,
thin blood, weak muscles and nerves,
brain flag and nervous exhaustion. The
remedy lies in replacing these starchy
foods with Toasted Wheat Flakes,
petizing flake is crisp delicate brown,
thoroughly cooked and toasted. The
starch of the wheat is converted into
dextrine, thus making 1t Immediately
Wheat Flakes are ready to serve at
once without further cooking and are
delicately delicious. Every package
bears picture of the Battle Creek
Sanitarium. Look out for limitations.

Art of Piano Draping.

An excellent way for screening the
unsightliness of the back of an upright
piano when turned away from the wall.
as all pianos of that design should be.
to improve the tone and prevent a
singers facing the wall, is one in which
a three paneled screen is hung on a rod
attached to the back of the piano at the
top.
The screen is made of three panels of
black satin embroidered in gold thread
after the style of japanese screens, the
panels being laced together with gold
cord drawn through small brass rings
sewed at intervals of two inches on the
edge of the satin, ending in gold tas-
sells at the bottom. The whole thing is
then edged with a heavy black silk or
gold cord. The effect is uncommon and
adds much to the furnishing of draw
ing room or music room. especially
where the room admits of the piano be-
ing placed at one end, with the key
board facing the wall.
Other material may be used, always
selecting something of simple decora-
tive pattern or one to match the other
hangings of the room. In Paris dra-
peries are made especially for this pur-
pose, but there is danger of having
them too close and heavy, thus dead
ening the tone of the instrument.

Varieties of Pears.
The cultivated pear is counted one Of
the best fruits of the temperate zone.
While at least a thousand varieties have
been produced, but comparatively few
are well known to the housekeeper.
In the cultivation of the pear the aim
is to conserve the proportion of sugar
and the delicacy of the aroma.
The pear is less acid and cellulose
than the apple. and a ripe pear should
melt in the mouth like a mellow peach.
Pears do not keep as well as apples.

with flannel on the floor of a darkened
room or in a dark closet. They then
become mellow and rich and their diges-
ton is not at all difficult. the cell walls
being more easily broken up than in the
half mature or imperfectly ripened
fruit
Pears of the best quality, when per-
feetly ripe, are better suited for being
eaten raw than apples, their flesh be-
ing much softer. But pears are not so
cheap or generally useful in cooking as
the apple, and consequently the house
keeper does not know that there are
