should be taken Tea is not good, for
it dries up the blood Coffee should be
avoided, unless taken clear; that Is,
without milk or sugar.
Just here I want to say emphatically
that all newspaper people want mid
night meal. While they are worklng
hard during the day they must not eat
too heartily. If this rule is followed
they will find it necessary to eat some
: thing after their work is over. OF
course, 1t should be something easily
disested. Heavy meats should not be
r taken. 1t is far easier to digest prop
erly-made Welsh rarebit Sweetbreads
and tripe are the most easily digessed
of all animal food, and should be eaten
frequently.
A little red wine is generally bene-
fetal, as many brain-worlers are apt
to become anemic. Eggs can be taken
in any form. excepting hard cooked. 1
know of nothing more strengthening
and nourishing than the beaten white
of an egg in half pint Of milk or
! bouillon.
Physical workers should use COM
bination of all foods They should eat
good nitrogenous meats, as beef and
mutton. No pork or veal. Baked po-
| tatoes, whole wheat, corn or rye breads
| and such vegetables as onions. cabbage
! and baked beans are essential They
should take their fatty substance in the
i form of butter, milk and oils, when
they can afford it.
An excellent dish can be made of
hominy and suet That does not sound
palatable, but I assure you it is. A
small amount of tea and coffee is not
| injurious to people employed in manual
/ labor They too, should take their
heaviest meal at night. but they will
need a heartier lunch than the BRAZIL
worker. Light desserts may be INDUCED
| in. The laboring classes should eat
| fruits. which as rule they do not, and
this is why they are all cramped with
rheumatism. Hard-boiled eggs are not
injurious to them.
IF women would only realize how dis
appointing it is TO go long distance to
call upon one and then find the one
they desire to see Just gone out" there
would be more who would set aside
some particular day each week upon
which they would be at home, have
that day understood by all their
| friends and above all things make it Il
point to stay in upon the appointed
day. And a call seems so much more
homeIike and cheering if cup of choc-
olate, glass of vine or tea and some
| light cake are in readiness. Try it and
see if you and your friends are not both
better satisfied with each other.
There can be no successful dinner
without the aid of the Ieek family.
| Every soup. every meat course and
every sauce and dressing, whether for
| fish, flesh or salad, needs the flavor of
the onion. This blessing is easily dis
suised, but the professional cook keeps
the secret. Two drops Of onion juice
| in any cream soup instantly kills the
starchy; pastry, nursery taste One
drop will lift sauce or a cream gravy

with a leek or slice of onion and the
| tamest salad, red or green, has sap

Do not discourage the baby from us
/ ing his muscles because of rumpling his
! clothes or even taking the shine off your
furniture His little limbs are worth
more to hin1-and perhaps to you, too,
| when, mothers You are old and have
to depend on them--than the polished
! legs of your table. Little girls have to
| play an all important part in their life,
especially when they come to work for
another baby life. So do let the girls
4 have some muscular development as
1 well as the boys.
I In the crying of sick children there
! are many peculiaritieS which when diff
| ferentiated lead to correct conclusions
about their ailments. In pneumonia
] and capillary bronchitis. according to
medical paper, the cry is moderate and
i peevish and muffied, as If the door were
shut between child and hearer. The
| cry of Group is hoarse, brassy and me-
talIic, with growing inspiration. That
of cerebral disease, particularly hydro
cephalus, is short, sharp, shrill and SOL
itary.
i Serious, gloomy and cross people
should eat alone. A man or a woman
with a scowling face and a savage tenn
4 per will give every child and sensitive
4 adult about the table indigestion. Deep
I thinking or preoccupation OF mind re-
4 tards assimilation and digestion. As a
rule, meal times are dull times. Foods
are eaten too rapidly, taken into the
stomach only partially masticated and
often forced down with drafts of ice
cold water, which weakens the action
of the gastric juices.
The mother who decks her debutante
daughter with diamonds is more ambi-
tious for show than sensible. Youth is
q girls highest Jewel and needs no
sparkling setting other than the fash of
clear eyes, the gieam Of white teeth, the
sweet, sunny smile, with a soul behind
it. Painting the lily defaces it, and
!, diamonds on a young girl seem to suS-
gest that her charms need enhancing
because she is not in herself satisfying.
Each one of us is bound to make the
little circle in which he lives better and
happier. Sach of US is bound to see
| that out of that small circle the widest
good may flow Each of us may have
r fixed in his mind the thought that out
of a single household may flow infiu-
, ences that shall stimulate the whole
commonwealth and the whole civilized
world.
