Especially FOR Growing. Children ls.lt
$ VI. 81 the Best of Food.

For growing children. especially, the
whole or entire wheat bread is most
useful in keeping the processes of di.
gestion in order. It is the gluten which
lies next the bran, that contains nj
trates that feed muscular tissues and
the mineral products that nourish the
nervous system.
To make the bread the easiest way,
scald one cupful milk, add teaspoon
full each butter and salt, tablespoon
full sugar. and q cup water. When
lukewarm, add a half compressed
yeast cake dissolved in q little luke
warm water, and enough whole wheat
flour to make a thin batter. Do this
In the morning. Beat the batter until
smooth and let it rise until very light.
Add whole wheat flour little by little,
beating all the time, until as much has
been added as you can beat or stir
in. It should be too soft to knead. If
the -four is not beaten in gradually and
thoroughly the bread will be coarse
grained. Turn into creased tins, let
rise again until light, then bake in
moderate oven for at least an hour.

MICE NEST IN BONNET.
Woman Finds Them In Headgear and
Faints, a. Usual.

Gallopolis, O.-When the wife of 4
prominent tiller of the soil, living
seven miles from this city, was about
to buy four yards of cheesecloth at
dry goods store here she suddenly
turned pale, clutched frantically at
her bonnet, and then screamed:
Gracious! There's something alive
in my hiatt"
An she spoke truthfully. With one
hand she yanked the bonnet from her
head, and then, all but swooning. she
dropped into a chair, for a mouse had
leaped from the covering. The mer
chant cautiously examined the head
gear and found family of infant
mice. /.
When the woman had regained her
composure she explained that the bon.
net had been reposing on a closet
shelf in her home since last winter.
and that the mother mouse must have
taken up her abode therein. The sur.
prfsing feature of the incident is that
the mice never made their presence
felt until the woman asked to be
shown four yards of cheesecloth.

For a Bone in the Throat

An obstruction in the throat, trachea
or oesophagus may sometimes be re-
moved by striking the patient forcibly
on the back between the shoulders.
Sometimes it is expedient to invert
him while doing so. A child can be
held up by the legs, but an adult
should be placed across a bed or chair
with his head and chest hanging we'll
over the edge. If the object is in the
oesophagus it can be often washed
down with a drink of water or forced
down by eating bread or other solid
substance. To prevent excoriation of
the alimentary canal after the swal-
lowing of any sharp substance have
the patient eat plentifully of bread, DO
tatoes or mush, but do not give a
purgative.

A|llPlPETIZ1lG DISHES
NEW AND TESTED RECIPES FOR
Y '..~ the COOK. q r. !.
Swiss Eggs Are Something Of Novel;
ty and Will BE Found Delicious
Maple, Blanc Mango and
Banana Desserts.

For Swiss eggs-a delicious supper
dish-spread the bottom of a baking
dish with two ounces of butter. Cover
this with thin slices of American
cheese. Place four eggs over the
cheese, taking care that the yolks are
not broken. Season with pepper and
salt; pour around the eggs two table
spoonfuls Of rich cream and cover the
top with grated cheese. Bake it for ten
minutes, garnish with parsley and
serve with fingers of dried toast.
An unusually appetizing curry of
veal is made as follows: Cut two
pounds of veal into small pieces. Roll
the pieces in -four and season with
pepper and salt. Put a couple of table
spoonfuls of butter in an iron stewing
pan. Slice a large onion and fry it
in the butter, and when it turns light
brown add the veal and a quart can of
tomatoes. Stir we'll and place the dish
where it will cook slowly for an hour:
then add tablespoonful of curry pow
der mixed to a smooth paste with a
little water. Simmer half an hour long
er and serve on a platter with a bor-
der OF boiled rice. Lamb may be pre-
pared in the same way.
A maple blanc mango is a novelty.
10 make it boil quart of milk Meas
ure out four heaping tablespoonfuls Of
cornstarch and moisten it with a lit
tie cold milk. Add to it a liberal cup
OF thick maple syrup, then gradually
stir 1t into the boiling hot milk and
beat thoroughly to prevent Jumping.
Cook until very thick, then put aside
to cool Serve with whipped cream
For a banana dessert of the same
type boil a quart of milk in a double
boiler. Mix four tablespoonfuls of
cornstarch with two large tablespoon
fuls of sugar. Thin it with little cold
milk; then stir it gradually into the re-
mainder of the milk, taking care that
it does not form Jumps. Cook for ten
minutes; break two eggs and beat the
whites and yolks separately. Add the
yolks to the pudding and cook few
minutes longer. Then remove from the
nre and add six bananas that have
been cut into thin slices and sprinkled
with sugar and little banana extract
Have ready pretty mould, and just
before pouring the pudding into 1t fold
through it the whipped up whites of
the eggs. Serve cold on a low dessert
platter with whipped cream.
Those who are fond of curry pow
der often use it as one would pepper
and salt, in ordinary dishes, such as
soups, hashes, stews, vegetables, rice,
eggs, etc. The next time you serve
poached eggs at breakfast try dredging
just little curry over the top of
each.
The next time you make layer cake,
instead of icing it first and then cut
ting it in slices, as usual, cut 1t into
small squares and ice each square
heavily, ornamenting the top with a
candfed cherry, a piece of citron or q
walnut meat.

COOKING Without Fire.

This novel and seemingly impossible
method of cooking has already been
practiced in Norway, but it is so ex-
ceedingly simple that it may be used
anywhere. Line all alright box thick
ly with straw or hay, or even newspa-
pers, leaving a nest in the middle just
large enough to hold pot of boiling
water containing fowl, mutton or
whatever it is desired to cook. Cover
the whole with hay and put on the top
of the box, which must be close-fitting.
The heat from the boiling water is re-
tanned, of course, but whatever is be-
ing cooked requires two or three times
as long as it usually takes.
