crops, stock feeding. dairying, poul-
try, etc, right on the farm. through
bringing the best information that the
experiment stations and agricultural
colleges have worked out, applying It

New Years Fruit Cake.

Dear Miss Doom:
I had a fine recipe for fruit cake but 1
have lost it. Can you or one of your
readers supply a good one? G. NJ. G..
Brown very lightly without the sus-
picion of a scorch a pound of sifted
flour. Beat together in a large bowl a
pound of powdered sugar and the same
quantity OF sweet fresh butter. When
White and creamy add the beaten yolks
of ten eggs, then the stiffiy beaten
whites, alternating with a sift-in of
the flour. Your fruit, of course, is all
ready and you have it at hand in
plates and bowls ready to be added to
the batter. There must be a pound
of ton raisins, a pound of c~urrant5,
a half pound of citron, a t~easpoonful
each of powdered cinnamon, mace,
cloves n allspice, two grated nut
megs, two ounces of candied orange
and lemon peel, a handful of dried
cherries, a half pound each of almonds
and pecans. weighed after shelling, a
wineglass of sherry, one of white wine
and one of brandy. Roll the fruit,
~raisins, currants and citron lightly in
sifted flour and mix all the ingredients
into the batter. The mixed liquors are
not so much for fiavoring as to pre-
serve the cake in q perfect and moist
condition, n this is really the cause
of its keeping so well.
The cake should be mixed long and
well, using the hands instead of a
spoon after the fruit is added. Line
one large or two medium sized pans
with buttered paper, and bake four
hours.

breathing is an entirely involuntary
function. They are mistaken. Normal
breathing does not exercise the lungs
sufficiently to expand and build them
up, nor does it supply h blood with
the amount of oxygen necessary to
fully purify it.
You must learn to breathe con
~sciously if you desire perfect health.
You cannot become an expert in
deep breathing in a moment. Once
you have the habit of drawing in deep,
slow breaths as you work or play, it
won't be long before you will make
1t your habit.
This exercise when practised daily
for ten or fifteen minutes will bring
about an increase in good looks. 1t
will force you to inhale quantities of
fresh air. and a super-abundance of
fresh, pure air is n path to beauty
land.
Stand relaxed, with arms hanging
Imply at sides, with head. chest and
back held erect.
Then inhale slowly through the nose,

You Do Not Exercise Enough

day will feel too we'll to waste time
bemoaning vacation joys. She has zest
for work because she is not hungry for
ozone.
Sluggishness means depression and
nothing routs this sensation like keep
ing nerves and body in trim. Instead
of signing to be a millionaire who can
play the year around; instead of TAX
ing up duties resentfully, the girl who
exercises each day will get through
work with less trouble.
You must work and spend money to
keep off the blues. Do not think it ex-
travagant to go to the theatre. Cheap
seats are better than none, and girls
who live quiet or overworked lives need
distraction.
A bowling or gymnasium class Will
combine exercise and recreation. If you
have none to join, form one. 1t should
not be hard to find a dozen or more
girls who don't know what to do with
themselves.

ANOTHER LITTLE BEAUTY TALK.
BY MRS. ANITA NORRIS.

I wish all women would breathe
properly. I know they would reap a
bountiful reward.
Have you ever tried deep breathing?
Wonderful benefits come as a direct
result of giving the lungs plenty of
fresh, pure air.
When you breathe deeply you mus
cles gradually strengthen, your eyes
glow like twin stars, your chest be-
comes full and rounded and your pale
cheeks are stained a vivid red.
Last, but certainly not least, the
deep breather has a well-proportioned
figure with a 1.-THE, round waist.
If you are inclined to feel sleepy
and stretchy, no matter how much
you rest, it would be well for you to
become a convert to deep breathing.
The effect of the ~life-giving breaths is
that you will feel as if you had taken
a tonic.
A great many women think that
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1911-12-11

nEACTION comes when n gets
~ back into harness after leisure
days. Everything is an effort, and un-
less will is brought to bear much of the
good effects of vacation days are lost.
1t does little good to postpone get
ting back to routine; the longer it is
put off the harder is the wrench.
The drop would not be so painful il
one carried vacation ways into vaca-
ton days. When one has been exercis-
ing for weeks, walking, climbing, boat
ing, living in the open air, the physical
reaction of indoor life is bound to be
felt.
Why not keep up exercise? The
busiest girl can find time to walk a
mile or two a day. All that is needed
is willpower. Determine that the COM
ing fall and winter will find o a de-
votee of regular exercise in h open
air, 1t is better than gymnastics and
physical culture for health giving.

.HEMSTITcHING AND DRAWNWORK.:


Perhaps the simplest of the various
forms of fancy needlework Is drawn
work. Materials required for the work
are cheap and of the simplest charac-
ter. Linen, / ne or coarse, is the foun-
dalton, and fine cotton thread, with, of
course, a fine needle, is all that is re-
quired to work with.
The value of drawn work lies in the
labor and time required to complete 1t.
Hemstitching is employed on all drawn
work; especially is it used for finishing
hens and on infants ear.
Table and bed linen, towels, Jokes,
collars and cuffs, doilies and centre
pieces all require fine hemstitching.
Threads are drawn one way of the ma
terial and the designs worked out on
the threads hat remain.
Many persons find great difficulty in
drawing the threads, having to coax
each thread out inch by inch.
If you have trouble of this sort, try
rubbing a little white soap over the
threads to be drawn, or rub the linen
through the fingers until it has become
softened. Whichever method Is used.
do not wash and iron linen before
drawing threads Dr. you will have
trouble.

SUGGESTIONS TO MOTHERS

That the tubing of a baby's bottle
should never be cleaned with a brush,
as the bristle, are liable to come out.
An efficient substitute is a piece of
white tape with a bodkin at the end.
Give the baby and each child a bed
to himself. Have the sleeping room
cool and clean and as bare of furni-
ture as a cell. See that the clothing
of the little sleeper Is loose at the neck,
waist and arms, and keep his head
uncovered.
If there is anything young animals
cannot do without 1t is fresh air. and
babies get less than any other class.
Through the pores of the skin the
body is continually throwing off poison
GUS vapors. If the head is covered
with the bed clothing the unfortunate
infant will be breathing bad air.
Fashion or no fashion, 1t is a cruel
shame to trim or starch babies cloth
ing.
The average child suffers from over
feeding and ~overdressins. Let him
learn to be a trifle hungry.
Half the time the child cries he wants
fresh air or fresh water. Wiping tho
lips of a crying baby with cool water
will often soothe and refresh him.
That it is most important to teach
children to eat slowly and masticate
their food well.
That she should look out for M
special tastes hat her daughters may
have n develop them, SO as to give
them unlimited resources in their hon
when they are no longer children.
That swimming is an excellent exer-
else for girls and boys and helps 20
expand the chest and develop the
muscles of the body.
That no child ear be healthy or
happy If 1t Is cold; therefore, ummer
and winter WOODEN elothing-of differ
ent texture, of course-should be
equally distributed over the entire
body.-Country Doctor.

HERE are a few important matters

uERE are a few important matters
IA that every mother ought to know:
That during the first year the aver
age gain in the weight of a healthy
baby is rather more than twelve
pounds, and in height eight or nine
inches.
That in the cas- of delicate children
they derive great benefit from being
gently and thoroughly rubbed all over
particular attention should, however,
be given to the spine-directly after
the morning bath.
That a child is impressed by and I'M
consciously initiates the individual
who has charge of him; hence the
great Importance of selecting a suitable
person as nurse.
That children should from an early
age be taught to walk properly, so
that they may not only grow up grace
full. but derive the utmost amount of
good from this most valuable form of
exercise.
That If a child has reached the age
of one year without cutting any teeth
there Is good reason to believe that he
is being improperly nourished and
medical aid should be summoned. SO
tn t ricketts, may, If possible, be pre-
vented.
That the temperature of the nursery
should be regulated by the Their
mometer, so thai it does not exceed 6S
degrees and never goes below IS de-
grees.
That the leavings of baby's bottle
should never be warmed UP; when
more food is required, have 1t made
fresh.
That children should not be allowed
to wear shrunken wooden garments
for they are too close to be really
warm; loosely-woven wool is warmer
than a closely-wooven fabric and loose
fitting garments are warmer than tigh'
ones.

until the abdomen is considerably dis
tended. Continue with your inhaling
until you feel as if o could not toll
crate another mouthful of air. This
means that the apexes of the lungs are
filled. You will now notice that the
abdomen is no longer distended, but
quite the reverse, while your chest is
raised far above its normal position.
The breath should be held for eight
or ten seconds, then allowed to escape
slowly through slightly parted lips.
Then minutes of such breathing night
and morning means a rich benefit.
Another exercise consists in standing
erect and placing the second finger of
the right hand on the right nostril, clos
ing it entirely. Breathe in through the
left n%ostril, hen close it with the sec
ond finger of the left hand and exhale
gradually through the right nostril.
Continue to breathe through the al
ternate nostrils.
Become a deep breathing enthusiast
and note the change in your health and
looks! 1t will astonish and delight you.

Girl Scouts.

Dear Miss Doom:
I have a number of girl friends, and
we all go out sporting every Sunday
and the holidays. Someone asked why
we didn't have a scouting party of
girls. 1 told that person l did not
know that there were any girl scouts.
If there are please write the outfit.
Thanking you, I remain,
JENNIE f. B.
As far as I have been able to ascer-
tain, there is no girl scout %organiza-
ton. Why don't you girls form a
little walking club with some definite
program? If you are employed during
the Week you will find these regular
Sunday outings will be very beneficial.
Determine to visit some of the pretty
places around here, and choose a cap
tain to make arrangements for the
walk, set the time and place of start
ing and the best route, etc. Dom you
think you can find a better word to
describe your Sunday recreation than
"sporting?' It is a slang expression,
which | know does not apply to your
Sunday and holiday outings. One of
the Jules of your scout organization
should be to exact a n from any
member who uses slang while ION
duty" The fund thus acquired may
defray the expenses of a spring picnic.

To Remove Wallpaper.
Dear Miss Doom:

Dear Miss Doom:
Will you kindly publish a recipe for re-
moving old wallpaper from walls so that
they can be painted. Thanking you l am,
yours truly, J. p. Fl.
The implements needed are a sponge
and a pail of clean hot water. Wet the
sponge with the hot water and hold 1t
to the paper for a few minutes. You
will then probably be able to tear the
paper off or peel 1t with a knife. If
the paper Is on firmly a couple of APP
