 While digging and garden making are undoubtedly more interesting. when done in "flocks" and with a de- licious luncheon in prospect, the ad- vantages as far as health and beauty are concerned, are quite as great even for the one who digs alone, then has to go into the house to get not only her own dinner or supper. but provide for the men folks as well.
 Every child should surely have a garden of it's own and be encouraged to dig and delve to its hearts con- tent Encourage these young farm CTS by giving them seeds and plants. buy their garden truck from them, and offer prizes for specially fine spec imens of their. own raising. Make them in love with the soil The ben- efits to be derived from it's cultivation are manifold. For the delicate child. especially those liable to tuberculosis, there is no medicine equal to this ex- ercise in the fresh air and close con- tact with Mother Earth. Dress them suitably for their task and forbear that constant American, admonition to the small child, Keep your clothes clean"
 Cleanliness of body is not imper- filed by contact with the good earth and clean bill of health is more to be desired than fine Fauntleroy raj ment
 When the out of door work or play is finished. a bath and quick change l of clothing is easily accomplished. especially where the child is encour- | aged to help itself,
 Clothes Hangers to Encourage "or- der"
 Not every mother knows that there are little hangers for children's slips and top coats that may be purchased in the shops at small prices. These are great convenience and children can be readily taught to put their gar ments over one, suspend it in the closet on hooks put down low enough for them to reach. thus keeping their
 
 shape. Two or three of these can be put in the trunk and taken along for summer use in the cottage or summer hotel where closet space is at a pre- mium.
 In Case of Fire.
 Another sensible thing to carry along. or have at home for that mat ter. is a coil of the absolutely fire proof rope. This now comes with wooden knobs knotted in every few feet. so that even a pretty awkward person could go down hand over hand if forced to make nasty exit from the window in case of fire
 Paper Drinking Cups.
 supply of paper drinking or picnic cups is also worth consider ing. Ever since the examination by experts of school drinking cups and the discovery of thousands of malev- olent microbes lurking on the rim ready to contaminate the next mouth, pressed to the cup, mothers are insist ing that each child should be supplied with his own drinking cup The in- dividual paper drinking cups have re- gently been adopted by the Lacka- wanna railroad.
 Rested within nickle plated device next to the water cooler. are a hun dred or more white drinking cups which once taken out and used can not be replaced. These cups are stiff ened by coating of paraffine and be- ing manufactured automatically are untouched by hands until they reach fhnca ff I,;,, are not equally up to date in caring for their passengers. the traveller will do well to provide himself with a sup ply of these cups, which cost but a quarter for a package of eight Delicious Sandwiches For Picnic Bas-
 kets.
 While almost everything that looks inviting tastes good at a picnic here is a batch of timely sandwiches whose proof lies in the eating An appetizing one for the aenemic child whose doc tor says all the bacon she can eat" consists of thin slices of bread and butter between which is a layer of hard boiled yolk of egg sifted through a ricer. and over this a thin crispy slice of bacon.
 Another good sandwich is made of finely grated or chopped pineapple and cream cheese. Cut thin slices of white or whole wheat bread, spread thinfy with cheese then add a layer of the pineapple drained free from juice and press the slices together. Cut in thin strips or triangles. but do not cut off the crIsts. if they are delicateiy Drowned and tender as they should be
 Spinach boiled and chopped fine mixed with cream cheese and moist ened with lemon juice and mayon- naise, makes an appetizing filling for sandwiches, as also a roll of Neuf chatel cheese, creamed and mixed with half cupful chopped or pounded nuts. the whole favored with little salt and paprika. Brown or rye bread makes the best foundation for this sandwich.
 Durum Flour.
 And speaking of breads, one of our readers writes to ask just what the durum flour is, that is so often spoken of in the daily press. Although this durum or macaroni flour as it is often called, is of comparatively recent in- duction into this country. the grow ing odemand far exceeds the supply. It is made from the wheat usually grown in the semi-arid regions and
