BEWARE THE "HANeER-oN."

A woman who has spent many

The globe-trotter who spoke of this
menace says so real is it that she
has learned never to have plans, or,
having them, never to speak of them
before strangers.
This may seem a somewhat selfish
attitude. Often delightful compan-

whole it is safer to be Independent
to form an attachment that may
prove irksome and will cause trouble

Paper Bag Cooking

Consul General Gnmths, in Con
sular Trade Reports" says: Demon
strations of paper-bag cooking have
been given in London for some time
and are still attracting considerable
attention, Cooking in paper is not a
recent invention, but never before has
! it been applied as systematically as in
the present series of experiments.
Cooking bags of various sizes. made
of specially prepared waterproof, ster.
ilized paper, are on sale in London.
One make of bags, which is apparent
ly the most popular, is placed on the
market at prices ranging from &C
cents hundred for bags 67kx41b
inches to $2.0G a hundred for size 1S8
Xl1A inches. While some of the dem
constructors insist that q specially-de-
yised oven is required to secure the
best results, others state that it is not
necessary and that the ordinary
kitchen stove or range is just as SER
viceable. A demonstration of paper
bag cookery was given recently before
a large number of teachers employed
in the London schools.
The proprietor of one of the largest
restaurants in London, in speaking Of
the use of the paper bag in cooking,
says that it is a preventive of the CON
gregation of microbes. In many homes
the dishes and pans lie about for
hours on tables and dressers without
being cleaned. The result is that mi
crobes are drawn to the grease and are
not easily eXterminated. Under the
new system cleanliness is assured.
The microbe has no resting place. The
clean bag is at hand. When done with
it can be thrown into the fire. 1t Sc

the people. Moreover the nutriuve
properties are maintained, while there
is no waste.
A considerable saving is effected
through the use Of the paper bag All
roasted meats cooked in the ordinary
way lose, it is stated, about four
ounces to each pound. There is also
a loss when meats are boiled, and a
perceptible though smaller loss when
they are praised. In paper-bag cook

there is practically no loss. The saw

One of our great fields of ignorance
in the art of right living is food.

COOKING TURNlPs.

Turnips that are too small to pare
and slice economically before cooking
may be utilized by boiling whole in
their jackets, When done the skin
may be rubbed off with the hand the
same as beets, BY this method the
economical housewife is able to use
turnips that otherwise would go to

this way with turnips say that the
small turnips are sweeter and have a
better flavor when so treated than

| trouble is dietetic.
Certain laws Of chemistry underli,
the food question and there is nc
escaping the i'll effects if these law:
! are broken. Yet he majority of us
80 gayly on our way as if there were
no such laws. For instance. most Of
us break one of these laws ever,
morning in the eating of our oatmeal
Oatmeal and most of the cereals
served for breakfast are composed
largely Of starch. The digestion OF
starch begins in the mouth. But
starch is not digested in the stomach
These cereals therefore should be
thoroughly chewed, so that the saliva
may mix with them, and start the di
gestive operation. But nearly every
one swallows his oatmeal without
chewing, and it lies, a heavy, undi
gested mass in the stomach, until
the poor, OverwOTked stomach can
get up energy to pass it on.
Chewing is necessary quite as much
for the proper admixture of saliva
with food, as for breaking it up into
small particles. When food is boIted
or swallowed without the proper mas.
tication, it acts in many ways as a
poison. 1t must be remembered that
the stomach, as some one has said.
has no teeth, and if food gets bv
the teeth without their having done
their proper work, trouble is surely
going to ensue.
1t seems very simple thing to
chew our food. And yet we simply
don't do it,. We eat without chewing
and then take a pill or a tonic to
help our digestion. We certainly do
not know how to live.
Not only does food need to be chew
ed, but liquids need to be slipped.
Their ingredients need to be mixed
with the saliva the same as more
solid food.
And not only does chewing and sip
ping properly start the work of diges-
ton, but it stimulates the sense Of
taste. This causes the gastric juice to
flow in the stomach, and thus the
stomach is prepared to digest the food
when it reaches it.
So you see, there is a close connec-
ton among all these operations of di-
gestion. And when one is not per-
formed properly, the rest is thrown
out of gear.
If ones time for eating is short, it
is better to eat little and eat it prop
erly, than to bolt lot hurriedly. Eat
ing properly is one of the sign-posts
on the road to good health, and those
who want to retain the vitality they
have stored up this summer should
take heed of this little gide-book as
they shoulder their burden of winter
work.
