EGGS for Sick Children.

way is better to cook an egg than
what is called coddling.
Put a newly-laid egg into boiling wa

move it from the fire. The egg then
cooks slowly and thoroughly, and when
the water is cool enough it can be
lifted out and opened. 1t will be found
to be of a jellylike consistency, par

The white of an egg, if necessary
for a child's nourishment, may often
be conveyed to the child without his

prepared as follows To the white OF
an egg add the juice Of one orange
and little sugar. Strain in carefully
and set it away until it is very cold.

CARE OF THE SILVER
WEEKLY CLEANING DOES NOT
NEED TO BE BueBEAR.
Do a Little Washing Each Morning.
Use Silver in Rotation, and the
Big Task Is Made Easy
Other Short Cuts.

Keeping our table silver as bright
and polished as when it was given to
us, is not usually reckoned an easy
thing. How soon the tarnish appears,
even on the tableware we are using
every day-so easy to come, so hard to
get rid of! Yet really, the weekly
silver-cleaning' does not need to be
the bugbear that many women find it.
There are easier ways, far simpler
than that customary old way which in
yolyed the use of rather mussy pow
der any number of cloths, some hours
of time, and great deal of elbow
grease" Women are clever at find
ing short cuts that are not only easier
but do the work better.
Do you clean all your silver at once,
on one special day? If so, try anoth
er way, just for one week and see if it
doesn't seem better one. First, as
to the actual washing. Get splint
grape basket and put all the silver IN
this. Set it in the dishpan, run hot
water over it. Make a good suds with
soap or powder, use a dishmop to
clean ii so as not to scald your hands.
Rinse it in the same basket then lift
out the basket, drain and dry as usual.
Now comes my chief point. Have close
at hand, in a drawer OF on shelf, all
your silver-cleaning paraphernalia-
soap, powder and paste, brush, cloths
and chamois. What a simple matter
to polish up all the silver to it's nor
NAL brightness here and now, before
uptting away! Do a little after each
mornings DISTINGUISHING, and use all
your silver in rotation, and your week
ly silver-cleaning bugbear has disap
peared! 1t doesn't have to be clean
edit just stays clean.
However, if this way does not appeal
to everybody, there are other eXpedi-
ents. Did you ever try boiling your
silver and see how the Turkish bath
affects it? Do it in your largest alu-
minum kettle-no other will answer
Or, put it all into large shallow pan
and sprinkle it with baking soda, then
pour on plenty of boiling water. Let
it stand without boiling until cool
enough to allow you to handle the
silver. Then take it out, one piece at
a time, and wipe dry. A third way is
to use one tablespoonful of ammonia
in a dishpan Of scalding water, drying
after it has stood half an hour. Amy
of these methods viii brighten your
silver wonderfully.
Still another idea is to keep near
your sink small sponge on which you
have-after wetting it-rubbed a good
deal of silver powder-then allowed
to dry. Then, when your silver is still
wet, rub it with the sponge to brighten
it. This is especially good for the
smaller pieces.

ALCOHOL THE GREAT ENEMY
WORD OF Warning Worth Needing by
Misguided Advocates of "True"
Temperance Among Children.

Noting the attempts of some advo-
;ates of the drink traffic in England
to establish there the German beer
garden and continental cafe. as bet-

the eminent Swiss statistician, has this
TO say of continental alcoholism: "It
seems difficult for one who knows the
facts to pretend that the German beer
garden is the temple of peace which
some of its advocates in England be-
heVe 1t to be. 1t would be a
very foolish policy for England to try
to import the drinking customs which
all social reformers on the continent
are earnestly endeavoring to discour.
age. All who know tbe sitro.
ton, not only in Switzerland. but on
the continent as a whole. can only
say: 1t is only too true; alcoholism
is our great enemy" This word of
warning is worth needing by the mis-.
guided advocates of true" temner-
ance, who would have children Taught

SAVING MUCH LABOR
SEQUENCE OF WORK HELPS IN
GETTING MEALS.
Unless Thoughtful Arrangements Are
Made, Cook May Find She Has to
Do Two Things at the
Same Time.

Going into the kitchen to make one
dish, or getting supper for which much
of the food has been previously pre-
pared gives no idea of one of the chief
difficulties in getting meals-the Sc
quence of work. Unless the thought
full and orderly arrangements are
made the cook may find she is re-
quired to perform two pieces of work
at once, and the last moments before
the meal will be crowded with more
things than can possibly be done, ac-
riding to a contributor to the De
lineator.
The time required to cook different
articles of food often furnishes a sort
of schedule for getting the meal. Time
must be allowed for preparation be-
fore cooking and for finishing touches
after cooking.
Except when gas range is used, the
fire is the first thing to attend to- The
other things to be arranged for nat
urally fall into three groups, to the
first of which belong the things which
take long time to cook Baked and
boiled meats, oatmeal, certain pud-
dings and vegetables which are cooked
slowly are among those which may be
prepared and put on the fire as soon
as it is ready for them.
Between this and the second group
is an interval which may be used for
preparing the dishes of the second
group and for setting the table, ar
ranging salad, putting dishes to warm,
etc.
The second group contains vege-
tables and desserts, which cook in
from 80 to 40 minutes, or anything
which is needed in the concluding
preparations of the other foods.
Now comes another interval, in
which cold food, such as bread, butter
and milk, may be put on the table
Preparations must also be made for
the cooking necessary to the third
group, and collecting on the kitchen
table seasonings, butter and milk for
the cooked vegetables and meat.
The third group contains things
which must be done in very brief
time before the meal. These are broil-
ing meat, preparing cooked vegetables
for the table making sauces and
gravy, putting beaten egg or vermi-
celli in soup and getting everything
arranged in dishes.
Then there are three last things for
the housewife to do before the meal:
To see that the fire is in condition to
leave; that soiled pots and pans are
filled with water, and last of all to
take an instant to wash her hands,
remove her apron and make herself
presentable.

DEATH RATE IN PNEUMONlI
That Among Persons Addicted to Al
cohol Is Extremely High-Patients
Lack Resisting Power.

A physician treating a man suffer
ng from acute pneumonia fears ano
fights against two things: One, the
actual poisoning of the patient by the
toxins OF the pneumonia germs; the
other. failure of the heart II the pa
tlent dies one alone, or both, of the
above factors are responsible. The
poisoning, as indicated by the fever.
the delirium, the frequent pulse. and
the rapid breathing, results from the
growth and activity of these germs,
and the recovery and well-being OF the
patient depends on the counter-ac-
tvity of the leucocytes and the plasma
of the blood by which are produced
the antibodies, which, in their truth,
nullify and counteract the virulent
poison. When this is accomplished
the crisis occurs and the danger is
practically over. The development of
the crisis is, therefore, dependent on
the protective mechanism, about
which we have been speaking. and
which is rendered less efficient by al
cohol
The death rate among alcoholics at
tackled by pneumonia is extremely
high, ranging between 60 per cent. and
10 per cent, and it is probable that
one cause of this terrible mortality is
the lack of resisting power which
characterizes such patients.
The second possibility dreaded by
the doctor in a case of pneumonia is
heart failure. Picture to yourselves
what is happening-one lung solid,
entaillng greatly increased work on
the heart, the fever damaging the
muscular fibers. and the defective
respiration augmenting the difficulties
against which the heart is struggling.
In such a fight every handicap is
serious, for sometimes even the
healthiest heart is unequal to the
task; much more likely to give way
is heart whose muscle fibers have
been deteriorating slowly and insidi-
ously for years. Such a heart, when
compelled to cope with the stress OF
an acute pneumonia, dilates and fails,
and death occurs, because the heart
was insufficient to the strain.-Prof.

By PROF. j. NJ. SCOTT. Florida Ex-
pertinent Station.)
Florida farmers and dairymen have
in the velvet bean one of the cheapest
and best dairy feeds. Experiments
which have been carried out at this
station indicate that the velvet beans
are nearly equal pound for pound to
cottonseed meal for milk produc-
ton.
The first test was conducted during
the winter of 190S-9 The results
showed that 267.75 pounds of velvet
beans in pod produce as much milk
as 945 pounds of cottonseed meal
When 267.75 pounds of velvet beans
In pod were fed with wheat bran
and sorghum silage, the cows gave
l08.6 gallons of milk. When 945
pounds Of cottonseed meal were fed
with wheat bran and sorghum silage.
1853 gallons of milk were produced
The cost per gallon of milk, not in,
GLIDING labor, was: velvet bean ration

1871 cents. This shows a slight diff
ference in favor of the velvet bean ra-
ton. The same test was repeated du-
ring the winter of 1909-1O. In this
test, SIG pounds of velvet beans in
pod, when fed with wheat bran and
silage, produced 325.5 gallons of milk;
while SIG pounds of cottonseed meal
produced 1923 gallons of milk, when
fed with wheat bran and silage. The
cost per gallon of the milk was. with

cottonseed meal ration, 1917 cents
Including labor, 20.5 cents). These
tests show that the velvet beans. as
a feed for milk production, will pro-
duce as much milk as will cottonseed
meal, and at less cost.
The values used for the feeds is the

$1.75, and Of wheat bran, $1.65; the
silage and velvet beans are valued at
their cost of production on the farm
20 cents and 80 cents per cwt re-
spectively.
The daily ration was velvet beans
in pod, AIS pounds; wheat bran, 10,
and sorghum silage, 245 pounds. The
other ration was cottonseed meal, 3
pounds; wheat bran, 10, and sorghum
silage, "a pounds. These rations ap.
pear to have been about right, and al!
the COWS maintained their initial
weight or gained only a little. The
rations as fed were sufficient to sup
ply the nutrients required to produce
a good flow of milk, and at the same
time maintain the body weight.
It's climatic soil conditions are SO
favorable that Florida will doubtless
be great dairy state in the future.
The demand for dairy products is
growing more rapidly than the sup.
ply. On January /, 1910, Florida was
credited with $4,000 head of milk
cows. This is about one COW for ev-
cry six people. If we had four times
this number of COWS the supply OF
dairy products would not exceed the
demand. Florida farmers can readily
supply enough feed for all the COWS
needed to supply the entire demand
of the state for dairy products. The
only drawback seems to be the lack
of sufficient number of good dairy
animals. Florida is not the only state
that is lacking in sufficient number
of good dairy cows and nearly all the
farmers in the dairy section are look
ing for more good cows. The only So
luton of our problem is for the far
mers and dairymen of Florida to pro-
duce their own good cows. 1t will
take some time to accomplish the de-
sired result but it will be worth while,

YIELD OF CORN IN GEORGIA
One Field Attracts Wide Attention
Ground Had Been Cultivated

About sixty miles west of Atlanta
Ga, is a cornfield that has attracted
wide attention.
The stalks were from fifteen to
eighteen feet in height, and in plot
ten feet square, sixty-nine full-fiedged
ears were counted. In another square
of the same size, not so favorably To-
Gated, forty-eight ears were produced.
There were ten acres in the field,
which was not cultivated with any
thought of producing an extraordinary
crop. 1t is new land, having been
