The indiscriminate diet allowed chill

fruit-not one of which is fit for a very

among the very young now than there
was Il third of century ago, and he is
of the opinion that the mothers are to
blame, primarily, because they are so
careless of what their little ones eat.
Irregular eating interferes with healthy
digestion in child even more than it
does with a grown person; yet mothers

To take a grease spot out of a car
pet, do not use water and soap. Sprinkle
over it an inch of buckwileat -four and
let it lie for several hours. Sweep it up
on the dust pan and apply again; it
may take several applications if the
spot sold. but if you will persevere the
buckwheat Will do the business.
The gentleman must always be pre-
scented to the lady. This rule is invaria-
bic. except when the gentleman is very
old and the lady very young, when def
erence to age may prompt a reversal
of the rule. young woman should al
ways be presented to the older one, and
a young man to an elder Be sure to
enunciate names distinctly, and if titles
are used. be sure to give them SO that
they may be understood 1t is always
pleasant to say something concerning
the ones introduced. so as to start con-
versation easily. If one is of the Army
and the other a statesman. or one a
writer of books and the other just a
common man. il is the part of a tactful
hostess TO make known the talents of
her guests.
In catering to sick people remember
that hot things should be very hot when
they are for a delicate appetite Like
wise cold things should be very cold.
