Clever Scheme for Packing Jelly.
Those who find the putting UP oil
lunches a part of the daily routine
may take comfort in the suggestion
of one resourceful woman. When
using eggs, she sees to it that only
small piece of the shell is broken
from the end of one egg. The egg
shell from which the piece has been
taken is then washed and kept as a
receptacle for jelly or jam for the
noon lunch basket, the open end be-
ing protected by piece of paper dip

About What 10 EAT

A Spanish omelet, as you read about
IN the cook books, always seems
rather complicated, but it need not be
It is simply made by putting between
the fold of the omelet tomato sauce
to which has been added sliced olives,
mushrooms and pimentos. The mush-
rooms and pimentos are not always in
the house. but beside these more OF
less unusual ingredients, there is
nothing difficult about this tasty
omelet.
A very pretty dessert can be made
with simple lemon jelly, into which
pitted cherries are put when the jelly
is nearly cold. Pour the jelly into a
mold, and when ready to serve re-
move from the mold and garnish with
cherries.
Another delicious and simple des-
sert is a strawberry junket. Put in
a large strawberry in the bottom of
each glass, and add chocolate or plain
vanilla junket. When firm. add a
spoonful Of whipped cream and sew
eral Strawberries.
Do you ever try serving cream OBJ
lettuce soup these spring days when
heavy foods seem to pail on one? 1t
is made by boiling for about twenty
minutes, or until tender, the stalks
and coarse leaves of lettuce with
slice of onion. Strain through a seive
and add milk thickened with butter
and -four Season with salt and pep

quantities may be judged as for any
other cream soup.
A rather pretty salad is made of
stuffed beets instead of stuffed toma-
toes so frequently used. Scoop out the

nearly fifteen miles of wire have been

SCIENCE IN THE NURSERY.

A woman once said to me, 81 wash
ed my first baby to death" She sad
ly explained what she meant by
washing it to death. Having been
told by SO many the Importance of
the daily bath and the necessity Of
often changing the little dress arti-
cles, she gave the baby a cold by
over attention, unnecessary baths.
and the child died of quick consump-
ton. The hygiene Of today is all
right in some respects and wrong in
others. What will sustain one child
would not nai'rish another, and what
one little fellow might endure in a
vigorous bath would weaken another.
The mother instinct should be the
very best adviser, but il lacking IN
this respect, then follow the direction
of reliable physician Or nurse.

about it, remarks the Ely Expositor.
Don't think for minute that the
census man cares, but he simply has
to ask the questions, so that the
census experts back in Washington
will be able to cast up huge volumes
of statistics about what a great
and glorious nation this is.
Don't think that the census man
is crazy when he asks you if you are
white, black or brown, Chinese or
Indian. Of course he can see, but
it is in the book to ask you, and he
has to do it. Maybe, if asks you
if you are white or black, it is for
the purpose of trapping you into
saying something that isn't true.
If you should slip in a little
falsehood the results w ould be
awful to contemplate.
How many chill dren have you?"
is another question that he will ask.
He will follow it up by asking if
you are married or single. Of
course you may be inclined to feel
that he is going a little too far,
but don't blame limits all in the
book, and he must ask you.
All the information gathered by
the census enumerators is of value
to the government, and is needed to
determine the industrial and social
conditions of the country. 1t is the
dutyof very citizen to aid the census
enumerators as much as possible,
by giving prompt and full
answers to all their questions.
All the information cleaned by
the enumeration, and to those
employed at Washington
is strictly confidential and is not
given to the public nor to any other
person than the enumerator,
