For a thought he stood bewildered
and dismayed by the absence of light.

ON FOOD
The Right Foundation Of Health.

Proper food is the foundation Of
health. People can eat improper food
for a time until there is sudden col
lapse of the digestive organs, then all
kinds of trouble follows.
The proper way out of the difficulty
is to shift to the pure, scientific food,
Grape-Nuts, for it rebuilds from the
foundation up. A New Hampshire
woman says:
Last summer was suddenly taken
with indigestion and severe stomach
trouble and could not eat food with
out great pain, my stomach was SO
sore could hardly move about. This
kept up until / was so miserable life
was not worth living.
Then a friend finally, after much
argument induced me to quit my for
mer diet and try Grape-Nuts.
Although l had but little faith I
commenced to use il, and great was
my surprise to find that / could eat
1t without the usual pain and distress
in my stomach.
so kept on using Grape-Nuts and
soon a marked improvement was
shown, for my stomach was perform
ing its regular work in a normal way
without pain or distress.
Very soon the yellow coating disap-
peared from my tongue, the dull.
heavy feeling in my head disappeared.
and my mind felt light and clear; the
languid, tired feeling left, and alto
gether felt as if had been rebuilt.
Strength and weight came back rapid
ly and l went back to my work with
renewed ambition.
To-day | am a new woman in mind
as well as body, and owe 1t all to
this natural food, Grape-Nuts."

the United States will have been in

things in particular are needed, and
for these the National association is

Proper Service
at Dinner
Table

The young housekeeper. setting up
her own establishment, sometimes
finds 1t difficult to instruct the maid
who serves the family meals to do the
work noiselessly and properly. Per-
haps the first principle to learn is
that everything should be handed to
the left side of the person who IL sit
ting. which enables them to serve
themselves easily with the right.
In laying the table one must have
an eye to preserving balance with ey-
erything that is put on. That Is, II a
salt cellar is placed at one side there
must be another in the corresponding
place on the other. A fern or dish
of fruit or even an empty dish, II 1t
is a pretty one, must always be placed
in the very center. Around that are
the extra forks and spoons, as attrac-
tive as you can arrange them.
In front of the places of persons
who are to be seated there must be a
plate. The knife is put at the right
side and the forks at the left, the
tines pointing up. II there Is a soup
spoon it goes beside the knife. The
oyster fork also is next to the spoon
and knife, but that for oysters is the
only fork that is placed at the right.
All the others go to the left. IL more
than one Is required, as for salad
after the meal, the larger fork goes
next to the plate. Spoons for dessert.
whether they are large or small, are
over the plate; that is, are across the
top. The napkin should be folded
with two points under and laid in the
plate, a square of bread being tucked
away in 1t II the meal is dinner.
To give exact directions for serv-
ing a meal Is almost impossible, for 1t
depends entirely upon the mistress
and whether she wishes 1t done for
mally or simply. According to present
custom a plate should always be
placed before a person as soon as one
is removed. so that the place is never
empty. In very simple living this is
not done.
Few housekeepers have more than
the roast on the table these days, veg
etables being at the side table from
which they are handed by the maid,
who returns them there after each
person has been served.
If they are to be kept on the table
ore would be at one side. another at
the other side OF the meat, or two
dishes might be put at the foot of the
table. That is a matter of individual
preference which each housekeeper
decides.
The maid serving should wear a
small white cap and big apron with
bib and straps over the shoulders and
crossing at the back. 1t is most be-
coming.
Quiet in the dining room is thing
that must be striven for by the maid.
A noisy person is an abomination and
the rattle of dishes and clash of silver
should not be permitted.

gay color. il certainly deserves popu-
larity. even If it does show wear ra-
ther quickly.
The patent-leather bags are in al.
most every case more effective than
any of the other feathers. The de-
tails of the bags give them individ-
uality even when shapes vary little
and the last word seems to have been
said in the matter of fittings. Vanity
cases. opera glasses, tiny fans, card
cases, change purses, pencils, address
books. all are packed into miracu'
lousy narrow limits.
The ingenuity exercised In the plan

crowding them into one. There Is
