DOMESTIC SUGGESTIONS.
How Do the Various Members ..
Your Family Eat BreadS

How Do the Various Members Of
Your Family Eat Breads
Sometimes for lack Of training in
childhood excellent persons make a
holy show of themselves in the simple
matter Of eating bread and butter.
Children like best to take a slab Of
thickly buttered bread in their fingers
and bite out of it hunk whose size Is
limited only by the distance their
mouths can stretch. But mothers who
attend to their duty stop this unsightly
performance so soon as the youngster
can be made to understand that it is
not to be tolerated among children over
six years old. A gro-'n person or child
of bread and butter is distressing
sight. To begin, the slice of bread it.
self as cut from the loaf should not be
overload or long. A small slice is
easy to manipulate. A separate bread
and butter plate should be provided for
each individual if possible. Train the
child to lay this small neat slice upon
Its bread and butter plate. then with
the fingers to break it into small bits.
each large enough for bite. Then
the bread still lying upon the plate-let
the bits be buttered one by one as they
are wanted and conveyed to the mouth
neatly with the fingers. Never let the
bread be raised in air to be buttered;
never let it be held in the palm Of the
hand.
At dinner, where there are heavy
meats and several vegetables, in Eu-
rope 1t is not the custom to butter the
bread. That Is an American fashion,
born probably of the superabundance
of good things to eat in our country.
The custom Of eating very little bread,
or, indeed none at all. at dinner is
growing in popularity in America.

Bananas.

There are said to be forty different
ways of cooking bananas as well as
eggs. If large, plump, not overripe
bananas are washed and put into an
oven to bake with the skins on, they
will be found delicious eaten either
with the vegetables at dinner or as a
dessert with sauce. They are best
lifted out Of the skins just before being
eaten. Did you ever try fried bananas?
Those who like bananas smack their
lips at the thought of them fried. Take,
as before, large sound ones, peel the skin
off, slice in two lengthwise and fry in
butter. just enough to prevent their
sticking. After you have put the slices
into the frying pan sprinkle sugar over
them. 1t will form a small quantity
cf strip in the pan. When the slices
csc brown upon the underside, turn
them carefully and brown upon the
other. LETITIA WARREN.

FAvORS AN INSANITY BOARD
Spokane Physician Suggests
Changes in LunaCy Law.
DR.. SEMPLE WRITES TO GOVERNOR MEAD
SAYS STATE WOULD SAVE
MONEY AND DEAL OUT JUS
TICE PROPERLY.

OLYMPIA, Jan. 13-In answer to a
request from Gov Mead. Dr. John M
Semple, of Spokane, a member of the
state board of health and former sup
erintendent of the Eastern Washington
hospital for the insane, has given a
statement of his views on the question
of the commitment Of the insane. DR..
Semple makes several recommanda-
tions, the first of which is that a law
be provided for special eXamina-
ton of physicians who wish to qualify
on questions of insanity, those who
thus show fitness to be licened as eX-
aminers in lunacy; and that from
these men the court should be obliged
to select two to make the examination
of the patient, and to report on the case
before action should be taken.
DR.. Semple recommends that the law
should be changed so as to provide that
whenever plea of Insanity is made in
the case of a person charged with
crime all proceedings should stop and
the matter be referred to a commission
appointed by the court consisting of
three licensed examiners in insanity. If
found sane the trial would then go on.
If found insane, the prisoner should be
committed to the asylum for insane
criminals, if one is provided, otherwise
to the hospital for the insane; but the
indictment must remain against the
prisoner until removed by the court.
This he believes would prevent the
superintendent of the hospital from
liberating the criminal insane. In
event of recovery the superintendent
could only report that fact to the court
and the court would decide whether
the trial.
Another item of value, says Dr.
Semple, would be the lessened cost of
the trials to the state saving the eX-
penses of vast array of witnesses,
the jury, the court and employees.
DR.. Semple also suggests that in re-
gard to the commitment of the nom
criminal insane it would be a long
stride in the right direction it, instead
of arresting persons charged with in
sanity and taking them to the court
house for trial. or placing them III
Jail to await trial. the medical eXamin-
ers appointed by the court should go to
the home of the patient and there make
the examination, the examiners hav-
anime Them the findings being filed
with the court in regard to commit
ment.
Concluding, DR.. Semple says: "a
word about removing patients from the
hospital against the advice of the sup
erintendent, with or without bond. Sew
eral dangerous cases We're removed by
order of the court, while l was superin-
tendent, without one word being
asked as to the condition of the pat
lent. The law should be changed so
as to provide that when friends apply
to the court for an order of release, the
court must first ascertain the condi-
ton of the patient before taking
action
