plenty of boiling sailed water for three
quarters of an hour, after which
drain away the water and dry the bar
ley. Melt enc tablespoonful of butter,
add one finely-chopped onion, one teas
spoonful of chopped parsley, two table
spoonfuls of grated cheese, the barley,
little salt and pepper, the tomato
pulp and one well-beaten egg. Stir
the mixture over the fire till the egg
binds it, then pile it high on hot dish.
A little boned and faxed fish stirred
into the mixture makes the dish even
more sustaining.

Practical Laundry Bags.

Attractive and practical laundry
bags are made up from the common
brown crash combined with cretonne,
the latter preferably in tapestry de-

will be of the crash and the bottom
of cretOnne.
The tops have the hoop finish, and
the soiled articles can be released
from the bottom, so that such bag is
extremely handy.

be bought which are made to fold
For vacation use I am sure these ac-

Yours and Ours

We supply to your children just as good food as
we demand for children.
We know that the wheat should be steam-cooked
for six hours. So we do that.
Each berry should then be faxed SO thin that the
full oven heat gets to the center.
4 Then fierce heat must be applied to break down
the granues Of starch. So we toast the fakes for
80 minutes, at 400 degrees.
To make Mapl.Flake requires 96 hours
There are many ways where this work could be
sighted and the taste would not show it.
Flaked wheat can be made, and is made, in one
fourth of the time spend on it.
We could sell you the package for 10 cents in
stead of IS cents, if we made those economies.
But we would not give half-cooked wheat to our
children, so we don't to yours.
i We know that starch, unless properly cooked, is
insoluble. The particles not separated SO the
digestive juices get to them. So we spend 70
hours to get food that's all food, all digestible
And we flavor it with pure maple syrup, SO that
