Erul, and Nut Sandwich.

For sandwich that is nice for
nearly every occasion and one uni
versally liked, prepare as follows:
Put through the meat chopper quar-
ter of pound of blanched almonds,
half a pound of washed figs, half
pound Of dates and a pound of pecan
nuts. Put them through the chopper,
mixing them as they are ground. Pack
the mixture into a baking powder can,
pressing it down firmly and stand
aside over night. When wanted, dip

Candied cherries, citron, raisins or
other candied fruits may be substi

part of the pecans.
If kept cold this confection will be
good for weeks. 1t is very nice served
cut in cubes, and makes a pleasing
variety for the home made candy

Vocal Training for Babies,

Babies like to initiate. They try to
copy everything older people do. In
his first playthings are pretty colored
birds, for instance, and when mother
holds up bird, she sings tone, al
ways singing the same tone to the
same colored bird, calling 1t do, re, or
mi, as the case may be, 1t will be
but short time before baby will try
to initiate the pitch, quality of tone
and syllable; and before the ordinary
child is year old, or soon after, it
could have the scale well fixed with
voice, ear and eye.
A baby breathes naturally deep,
easy and right.
And If he learns to sing softly, cas-
lily and sweetly before becoming self
conscious, the worst part of a vocal
teachers work would be done before
the baby was old enough to insist
upon doing things wrong. namely,
breathing and voice placing
