In planning the dinner the question
Of soups is an important one. Where
fresh meat is to be served or dishes
containing considerable food value, the
soup should be clear one of some
variety. There is little food value to
soup stock. but clear soup acts as
stimulant to the digestion and pre-
pares the way for the rest OF the
dinner, much as the overture preludes
the opera Cream soups of any kind
are nutritious. and should be employed
for dinner when there is a lack in the
rest Of the bill of fare. This is why
cream soups are suggested for lunch
con so often and with little else. A
we'll made soup, with crackers or bread,
followed by fresh or stewed fruit with
plain cake, cookies or Fingered, are all
that is needed.

Where there are no small children
at the table soup or salad served
with each dinner would be preferable
to q dessert. Desserts are often un-
necessary, taking more time, labor
and money than they return in food
value. Often they add the extra pro-
ted or carbohydrate which overloads
the digestive organs. After a hearty
dinner a baked custard, for instance,
containing sufficient nourishment for
the main dish of luncheon is out of
place. Where the family consists
of adults they are many times far
better off with two pieces of candy,
or sweet cracker with a cup of clear
after dinner coffee, than with any made
dessert.
Baked or stewed apples, apple sauce
of apple dumplings are better and
cheaper than apple pie, but most or us

why take time labor and material to
make an under crust for a custard
baked ina pie tin, instead of in cups,
without any crust?

cant applications were filed. Several
men applied for the post, which is
fairly well paid and many Of them had
excellent credentials. Nine. POrchet,
however, presented herself before the
local commission, explained that dur
ing the three years illness Of her
husband she had carried on his du-
tess so as not to lose the place, had
introduced several minor reforms
which had strengthened discipline,
and at the same time made the pris-

that she could carry On the same work

in the result, for this strong woman
had tears in her eyes when she heard
the verdict.
