To Serve at Teas

A NEW delicacy to serve at teas
~ instead of the inevitable sandwich
is round cracker spread with
cottage cheese. S If it were butter,
and with maraschino cherry placed in
the middle. 1t is easy to make, and
delicious.

Cocoa nibs contain about s per cent of
proteid q. e.. flesh-making materially and
80 per cent Of fat. Cocoa from nibs is
therefore a food as well as drink and
very nourishing for children.

Cocoa is an "energy-yieldlng'' food.

Raw egetables-cucumbers iettuces,
radishes. etc.-are more indigestible than
those which are cooked. That is why
they should not be given to children.

Retaining Of Babylon.

The Garden OF Eden. Chaidea. Baby
lon and other ancient inaccessible
spots are to be brought within reach
OF the traveller when Mesopotania has
been reclaimed by irrigation and re-
stored to its former prosperity. As a
result of Sir William Willcock's in
designations in the delta of the Tigris
and Euphrates rivers system OF irri-
cation works has been recommended
to restore 247.lla0O0 acres OF land
out of the total OF 1,235,550,o0o acres
comprising the Tigris- Euphrates delta.
The engineer also advocates railroad
communication between the delta and
the Mediterranean providing q con-
venient channel to Europe. Such n
railway would be the main artery OF
traffic for import and export trade and
would afford easy access for tourists 10
many ancient districts. There would
also be considerable traffic In connec-
ton with the pilgrimage or the east

cities of Islam.
He opines that such railway would
give an annual profit OF $4,000 per
annuni. even before the irrigation
works were completed Their com
pletion would appreciably add to the
revenue. The navigation OF the Tigris.
