Few people cook cereals long
enough.
Oatmeal should be cooked four
hours at least, longer if possible.
Try filing a stocking with hot salt
and use in place of hot water bag.
Try using fruits and nuts for the
middle layer of a brick of ice cream.
Use chocolate creams for a cake
filling, or place them on top and frost
all over.
Try making layer hickory nut
cake, and fill and cover It with
whipped cream.
Try baking a pie shell and filling it
with apple sauce covered with
whipped cream.
Oatmeal is really best If cooked
over night. and in many careful fam
lilies this is done.
Fireless cookers are growing to be
more and more used, and are emf
nently useful and practical.
Cut celery in two-inch lengths.
fringe each, and leaving a half-inch
in the centre, use as a garnish.
AS served in many families, the
cereal is thick. lumpy, and, II the
truth were known, indigestible.
Frost cranberry pie sometimes. in
stead of using an upper crust, and see
II you don't like the difference.
When you make chicken salad next
time try using canned peas, cucum-
bers or sliced apples instead of celery.
Make a layer of chicken by pressing
first a dark strip of meat, then light
one. then light one, and finally dark
again.
Dip slice OF ice cream in melted
chocolate before serving. Or else put
it in cantaloupe and garnish with
cream.
The cereal is made too thick In the
beginning, because time is not al
lowed for 1t to cook long enough to
become SO.
Clear vinegar is usually too strong
for really pleasant mint sauce. and
the addition OF a bit of water with
the hot vinegar and seasoning before

an Improvement.
A novel way to serve pineapple is
to cut the top and bottom from the

Put oatmeal on the back OF the

Green Tomato Chutney

Often there are tomatoes which
will not ripen, and it is sometimes
useful to know of some way of utiliz-
ing them. Choose the tomatoes when
full grown, but before they have coll
ored, and slice them rather thickly
into a clean, coarse hair sieve
(sprinkling salt over each layer of
slices), and leave them for twenty
four hours. Place five pounds of
these sliced tomatoes in a preserving
pan, with sufficient vinegar to cover
them entirely, then add t,'elve ounces
of loaf sugar, one-half pound of sliced
onions mot the Spanish onion, as
they are too watery), four o. five chill
lies, halved or quartered (failing chill
lies, substitute black pepper-corns) 4,
five or six cloves and about one-half
inch of bruised cinnamon stick, loose
ly tied up in piece of muslin; now
stew it all gently in an uncovered
pan till the tomatoes are perfectly
tender, which will take about twenty
or thirty minutes, and then put the
mixture into two-pound jars, and
cover down closely at once while still
hot.-Brooklyn Eagle.

China For Shirt Waist Sets.

New York girls do not a little de-
signing themselves along the line of
ornamentation, and one of the new
est Ideas sprang from the brain of a
Burden girl. Miss Burden concluded
that, amid the wealth of precious
metals and jewels used for belt
buckles and shirt waist sets. other
materials were being neglected woe
fully, so she decided to employ china
as relief from the eternal glitter of
the too-popular gold and silver pref
lies. In consequence, china sets prom
ise to be favorite0 this winter, espe-
cially for morning wear. Don't jump
to the idea, however. that they are in
expensive. On the contrary. tney are
made of the most delicate china, and
their cost mounts high. The shirt
waist set includes, of course, cuff but
tons, pins for the blouse and a square
belt buckle of large size All the pat
terms are of fairy dimensions, and
most of them in faint tints. The sets
look smart enough with the gowns
of rough silk worn in the forenoon.
Miss Burdens favorite frock of that
kind is golden brown, and the china
set that goes with it is adorned with
goldenrod.-New York Press.

How to Receive Advice.

More wisdom is required in taking
than in giving advice. 1t should sell
dom be taken whole. The great
thing, as. we believe. is to take none
which Is out of character. To do so
is to regret 1t. II we are naturally
slow of decision, we shall be hurried
into promptness at our peril. II we
are by nature placable and polite. we
must not take advice to be arbitrary
even in the best cause. If we are
impulsive, we should take counsel
with a man of the same temperament
and stronger mind; but not with the
phlegmatic, though he be the wisest
slowcoach on earth. We all know
our own defects, and II we are decent
people at all our moral constitution
has set up certain compensations. To
disturb these Is to court failure. So
far as the isolated act IS concerned,
rashly accepted advice may'be good
enough-and successful enough--but
how are we to go on? We have
started on course which is out OF
character. and we shall stumble until
we get back into our stride.-Lon-
don Spectator.

Athletic Training.

Mothers" said Mrs. Agnes A.
Botha, of the Philadelphia Children 5
Home Care Society. in the New York
Telegram, should have more to say
about the athletic training of their
young boys in our public schools.
Many fine boys are being weakened
physically and neglected mentally
through too much athletics between
the ages of ten and eighteen.
"A mother is inclined to let the
boys father decide this matter, but
this is all wrong, because nine men
out of ten will encourage boy to
stand at the head of his school ath-
letics even at the sacrifice OF his 9TH
er studies.
his business associates and brag about
what his boy is doing in the chool
athletic classes.
LAS a matter OF fact, no boy should
be allowed to go seriously into ath-
letics until he is twelve or fifteen
years of age. Ordinary play is enough
to keep a boy strong and growing nat
urally without abnormal muscular de-
yelopment.
1.-THE usefulness of public school
athletics. in their prevailing extent
of development, is more or less open,
and there Is considerable difference
of opinion as to the best methods OF
conducting such by-plays of public
education. But there is no question
of the desitability of placing scholar
ship unreservedly foremost in the ad-
justment OF conditions.
In private schools each institution
may fairly decide, the question of the
Importance OF athletics at 1t chooses.
Parents who do not approve OF ath-
letics have the privilege of sending
their children to schools where ath-
letics are not exalfed--and there are
some such. The question of athletics
in the public schools. however, is
quite a different matter. II appears
TO be the desire of the public, who
support the schools and for whom
they are conducted. that athletics
shall have a place. But that place
must be secondary to the main pur-
pose OF popular education"
