GIVING A DUTCH SUPPER.

Use orange and blue for the color
scheme and the flag of Holland in the
decoration. BY the way, there is such
a demand for flags of all nations that
nearly all the large stores have a flag
department where all the national EN-.
blems may be obtained, and in all sizes
and textures from paper to silk. Delft
china should be used; lacking it, there
is a very good substitute in a cheap
but effective ware done in blue wind
mills and boats with sails.
For nut and bon-bon holders, use
tiny wooden shoes, and if cards are to
be the amusement, keep the score
with wee pretzels. The only objec-
ton to them is that the guests are
tempted to eat them as appetizers and
so have a tremendous capacity for
supper.
A large stein, filled with tulips or
the Dutch marigolds (if the odor of
this gorgeous flower is not objection

HOW TO CURE DYSPEPSIA,
Simply Observe Few Important
Rules Of II ealth.

1t is amazing that so common diff
Guilty as dyspepsia should be so little
understood by the general public, and
that it's remedy should be so hard to
find. But it can be cured, and without
any marvellous nostrums, by observing
a few important rules of health.
The dyspeptic must first fix in his
mind the fact that his ailment is the
result of bad habits of eating and liv-
ing, and that these must be changed;
that drugs will do him no good. He
must begin by avoiding all starchy
foods, as potatoes, rice, oatmeal,
beans, etc. Meats, soft boiled eggs,
milk, toast, swieback, etc., are the
best foods for avoiding fermentation,
and the gas that causes dyspepsia
pains. In serious cases buttermilk is
one of the best dependencies; another
is boiled milk with a slight addition of
limewater. Either of these will en-
able the most chronic dyspeptic to
procure some sustenance without seri-
GUS distress. He should drink freely
day, always taking a glass half an
hour before mealtime, He should not
crowd his meals close together, as
with an impaired digestion it is often
best to have the meals six or seven
hours or more apart. The rule to be
be eaten until the previous one is d.
gested or out of the way, and the
stomach has had a little rest, and
there must be further rest after eat
ing.
It is absolutely essential to eat SLOW
ly and chew with the greatest thor
oughness. Complete chewing in the
mouth, permitting no washing down
with coffee or tea, salivates the food
SO that it is ready for digestion when
it goes into the stomach, and persist
ence in the practice will put good flesh
on any lean dyspeptic.
There is theory: that when solid
food is chewed in the mouth to an alb
solute pulp the organs in the back of
the mouth exercise a selective action
and send to the stomach only that
which is fitted to be converted into
blood and tissue, thus relieving the
digestive organs of handling the waste.
Whether or not this Is correct is for
the science of the future to deter
mine; certain it is that nature gave us
grinding teeth for the purpose of chew
ing our food, and never intended that
we should swallow it unchewed, as
do those animals having more. than

USlnQ the Gridiron.

Always grease the gridiron we'll and
have it hot before the meat is placed
on it. Fish should be buttered and
sprinkled with -four, which will pre-
vent the skin from adhering to the
gridiron. Birds and other things which
need to be halved should be broiled
inside first. Remember that hot,
clear fire is necessary for cooking all
small articles. They should be turned
often to be cooked evenly without be-
ing burned. Never put your fork in
the lean part of meat on the gridiron,
as it allows the juice to escape. Cover
the gridiron with tin pan or a baking
pan. The sooner the meat is cooked
without burning the better; the pan
holds the heat and often prevents a
stray line of smoke from touching the
meat. If the fire should be too hot
sprinkle salt over it.

Eight little children who are de-
voted friends were given a most de-
lightful party recently by the very
devoted mother Of the youthful host
and hostess. The attractive stories
contained in "Lulu's Library" by
Louise M. Alcott, gave the inspiration,
and each child was asked to come
wearing something to represent a
story or character found in the first
volume.
Thanks to the wonderful things at
the favor counters, and the confec-
tioners's, the table and souvenirs were
all symbolical
For instance, the centerpiece was
such an ideal reproduction of the
''candy country" that the children
fairly shouted with glee when they
saw it. There was the candy house,
made of -hoarhound sticks, the walks
laid Of realistic paving blocks of cho-
colate. The darling little trees glis-
tened with colored sugars, candied
fruits and nuts. There were quanti-
ties Of lemonade, ice cream in candy
baskets, animals of barley sugar, gin
ger-bread men, sponge cake and nearly
all the precious things described in
"Candyland" were to be found on this
table. Each newly discovered object
brought bowls of delight from the
children.
The souvenirs were selected to rep
resent the titles of the stories. There
was quaint monkey for Naughty
Jocko,' pair of dolls shoes for the
"Skipping Shoes" a funny, much-be-
plumed rooster for "Cocky Loo" a
small doll hugging still smaller pig
was instantly recognized as piggy
girl The Three Frogs" were on
hand, and woody sheep was there
for "Baa-Baa."
The sanwiches at this really novel
party were called Turkish, and proved
as delectable as most things that orig.
mate in that land of mystery and
spice. To make them, take one pound
of dates, half pound of figs, the
grated rind and juice of one lemon,
and a third of pound of seeded rails
ms: Add cream to make into smooth
paste, then butter whole wheat bread
and make into sandwiches. It is best
to chop the fruit or cut with a pair of
scissors.
