A FOOD LESSON
That the Teacher Won't Forget.

Teaching school is sometimes very
arduous work If the teacher is not
robust and in good health, she can't do
her best for her scholars or for her
own satisfaction.
When II becomes a question Of pro-
per food for brain work, as in school
teaching many teachers have found
Grape Nuts ideal.

A KITCHEN CONTROVERSY.

There is a difference Of opinion about
the value of soup meat for food. The
domestic science teacher generally
claims that the meat used in soup Is
dry, tasteless and useless as food, and
yet one Of the United States experts in
the investigation OF nutrition claims
that this-same mass of fibers which Is
left undissolved by water can be as
easily and completely dgested as ordin-
airy roast. and II contains nearly all
the protein OF the meat. Now, which
shall one believe?
The statement of the cooking teach
er was made several years ago. and
since that time exhaustive experiment
has proved that many old beliefs con-
.cerning nutritive values were not well
founded. This one item Of soup meat
illustrates a change Of view. We eat
meat principally TO secure the protein
which II furnishes. and, as the expert
says. this is almost all left even after
long boiling. The broth or soup IS
composed of the juices. soluble albu-
men and flavorings, and II Is true that
with them go the appetizEig qualities
II is also a fact that II food does not
taste good il has little value The har-
dened fiber and the insoluhle albumen
do not appeal to the appetite. and, in
truth, are almost useless as a food un-
less one knows how to make them ap-
petizing.
If the meat is ground fine It will
make excellent croquettes. hashes and
meat nies; the secret is in the season.

but the mild herbs like summer savory
and rosemary onion juice and small
amounts Of good catsup or table sauces.
If these soup meats can be seasoned
property and ground mp IL is probable
that they can be made appetizing.

Wings Like q Dove.

Man long since ceased signing for
wings like dove, that he might fly
to the uttermost parts of the earth,
and began practical experimentation
in initiating natures handiwork.
Overcoming the law of gravitation
was least difficult The problem of
propulsion was easily solved. The
problem of adequate control and re-
liable power of direction has been the
challenge to the aviators. Even that
is being successfully met, and the day
of the airship is at hand. The an
.nouncement that Count Zeppelin has
sustained flight for two hours, during
which his airship was manipulated in
the most complicated maneuvers, in
dicates that the reward of success has
come to his persistent effort and ex-
penditure. From possibility to prac-
ticability may be but STEP remarks

sible will not hesitate at the task of

Dainty Neskw@ar for
the 5urDn0gr

Not every woman can expose her
neck, but the majority can and will
this summer. That is one respect in
which woman can be more comforta-
BILE than man, for it is a relief to the
whole system to get away from the
stiff-boneds stock and the high turn
over starched collar, with line like
saw under the chin.
They are both too hot for summer
weather. They are both uncomfort-
able. True, they must be endured by
the woman, who through nature or
| carelessness has allowed her neck to
| become scrawny or encircled with
dark rings.
The girl of the day, however, has an
exceedingly good neck. 1t is an
American characteristic. 1t may be
| from daily baths, from exercise, from
the erect way she Is taught to hold her
| head-but, from whatever cause, the
| round, strong neck is hers.
The Dutch neck, the Byron collar
and the rolling neglige collar have all
come back into first style for this sea-
son. The wide soft white collar fast
ened to the neckband and starting at
the base of the neck is usually called
| the Puritan collar, but it is doubtful
if the Priscillas of those days wore
such dainty finery as these pieces of
embroidery and lace. The thin linen,
starched and plain, is also worn by
young girls for morning. This is more
Puritan-like. The variation from its
severe style is the picturesque Byron
| ic collar of linen, with it's wide roll
from the neck and it's loose cravat in
front.
These are not only in pictures and
In writing. They have appeared on the
streets They go very we'll indeed with
the large sweeping sailor which has
a large crown.
It is little difficult to get the Byron
collars, but they can easily be made.
The Puritan collar can be bought at
any counter where they sell clothes
for young boys.
They are just such as are worn by
a boy ten years old. They are put
|
muslin and linen shirtwaists, and are
widely used for separate shirtwaists
under coat suits.
The majority of these collars are
made of fine fabric.
They are quite wide, from four to
six inches, and are shaped to slight
point in front where they open.
They can easily be made at home
Cut good pattern out of brown pa
per- baste the strips of insertion and
lace on it, and then finely whip to-
gether Finish the edge with ruf1e
) of lace without many gathers.
There are surely many pieces OF
good all-over lace put away in boxes
which are not large enough for any
thing but such collars. By using then
up you can make smart additions tc
your summer gown.
The fine lace ones are especially
pretty on soft white muslin blouse
suits, but they should not be worr
with shirtwaists. They are also gooC

Tetner Your Baby.

When baby must be out Of doors
each day, and there is no one to take
care of him, tether him. This method
will give him fresh air, freedom of
limb, and happiness without the fear
that he will wander away too far
into the hands of the gypsy, the els
tern, or other dangerous places. Take
a belt, fit it comfortably to the baby's
waist, so he cannot slip through. At
the back tie a piece Of clothesline, al
lowing him plenty of freedom. Fasten
the other end in some shady spot near
by, changing the location from time
to time as he may grow tired of one
place. Give him sand and toys, and
watch the result, both to tired mother
and runabout babe.
