SUITABLE AND APPETIZING
DISHES FOR THE INVALID

How to prepare and serve appetizing,
suitable food for a dyspeptic is often a
perplexing matter in the home In sick
ness the vitality is lowered. the amount
OF waste much lower, making, the nutri-
tive value of the food REQUIRED of greater
Importance.
Bread for toaSting at all times, but
particularly for the weak stomach, should
be cut from the loaf and allowed to dry
before toasting. 1t is best prepared by
placing on a rack or dripping pan in a.
hot oven and Drowned more slowly than
over hot Goals. 1t should be firm, though
not hard and tough.
ZwiebaCh. or twice-baked bread, is
made in a similar way. The bread should
be more stale, cut in thicked slices, and
Drowned more slowly, but cooked until
thoroughly crisped through This is a
particularly practical form for the SICK
as the heat has converted the starch
Into deXtrose, and renders 1t much more
easy Of digestion.
Gruels may be made Of a wide variety
of materials, imparting different ffavors.
but they must always be well cooked.
No cruel, other than possibly gluten, can
be property prepared in a few moments.
The Washington herald., 1911-11-13

The grain or -four chosen must be cooked
from one to several hours before being
made into Cruel.
Arrowroot Gruel-Two cups of boiling
water one tablespoon of arrowroot -four
and one-half\ teaspoon of sugar. The
water should be heated to boiling in a
double boiler and into this the arrow
root flour, made into a smooth paste,
should be stirred and allowed to cook
twelve or fifteen minutes. Sweeten a
little If permitted and add a little salt.
A small piece of lemon peel. boiled in
water, will add greatly to the flavor.
Arrowroot is particularly acceptable to a
delicate stomach and will often be re-
tanned by babies or adults when other
things are rejected.
Oatmeal Gruel-One-half cup of thor
oughly cooked oatmeal. one cup Of boiling
water o. milk. Stir the oatmeal into the
liquid, beat thoroughly together, season
with little salt, strain If desired, and
serve hot.
Barley tGruel-Rup one tablespoon Of
prepared barley flour to a smooth paste
with cold water, stir into one cup Of
boiling water or milk, and allow 1t to
simmer about ten minutes. Season with
salt and pepper and serve hot.

LACK OF COURTESY
GROWING EVIL

One does not require nowadays the ul-
tra-politeness Of our Lforefathers; 1t
would appear almost stilted and I'M
natural At the same time. the modern
maid and youth are apt to err in the
opposite extremes. Lack Of courtesy Is
rather growing evil, though It is often
only the result Of ignorance, owing to
the transgressor having led such a free
and easy life that the Importance Of
manners has been left unconsidered
The older generation frequently COM
plains of the treatment Of the younger,
and the following examples are not un-
common:
Accepting an invitation and throwing
# IN at the last moment.
Agreeing to meet at a certain time and
keeping the other person waiting.
Accepting hospitality and not troubling
to repay by an appreciative and enter
tanning manner.
Failing to write line Of thanks after
a weekend visit-old- fashioned, perhaps,
but a courtesy no hostess despfses.
A grateful manner, considered even
from q sordid point Of view, pays.
Would you not be inclined to repeat an
Invitation. to the grateful guest who laid
stress upon heartfelt thanks for the
pleasure received?
Certainly Il is agreeable to be amply
thanked, instead of feeling every enter
tainment Il accepted as . matter Of
course = -

CONTEST BABY HAD WONDERFUL
EXPERIENCE WITH THE FAIRIES
They Took, Her Away on Halloween in a Pumpkin
Carriage and Taught Her the Secret of How She
~, Shall Win Judges Approval.

A Contest Baby went away with the
fairies on the night of All Hallow Eve
and has just come back to me.
Now this is how it all happened.
The madness of mystery impregnated
the very air about my desk when walked
into The Herald Office Halloween morn
ing. The festival of fairies was within a
few hours, and 1 could already feel the
presence of the bobgoblins who come
with their midnight lanterns on this
witching night creeping noiselessly into
pumpkin forms, so / was prepared for
anything that might happen to me, or
the dear little children who had come to
the contest. l was not even surprised
TO find a precious baby girl sitting snug
~ in a pumpkin on my desk sucking her
chubby fists contentedly.
Disappeared in the Night.
Halloween left this little girl still in
her pumpkin carriage, and 10 and be-
hold when came back the following day
she had disappeared, pumpkin and all.
1 looked high and low for her. tele-
phoned the Borden Office, where many
babies are congregated awaiting the de-
cisions of the judges. but no one had seen
small maid in a pumpkin.
I next called up the engraver, but she
had not been there.
Then I just made up my mind that
the fairies mad carried her away, and
that should never see her more.
You can imagine my surprise when 1
walked in the other. day and found her
returned to my desk, still in her pumpkin
shell, still nibbling her chubby fists, but
With perhaps a little deeper smile or her
dear little face.
~,
l asked her, quite forgetting that after
all she was only a picture baby and per-
haps couldn't talk to me.
Fairies Told Her What to Do.
In This I was quite mistaken, for little
Hazel did not go away with the fairies
on Halloween for just nothing at all
They had many secrets to tell her of Just
what to do, and how to behave to win
the first prize in the Borden Baby Con-
test
And the story she told me, when no
one was around to hear, quite equals
that OF Cinderella, and in many respects
resembles it, for the fairies drew her
away in her pumpkin carriage to their
own land of perfect wisdom, and all this
time they had kept her there teaching
her just how to oogle the Judges into
giving her splendid big prize when
the contest closes next Thursday.
She means to go into the contest right
in her pumpkin carriage, and once there
she will remember the things the fairies
have told her, and use them in win
ming the hearts of the judges.
The contest is swiftly nearing its end.
Thursday, the 18TH. is the last day. After
that the wonderful army of babies will
march straight on the judges. The hearts
of these men are all unprotected, so that
the infantile whites may be practiced
upon them with great avail, for you see
not only are they ready to receive every
baby entered in the contest with open
beautiful points Of each little child wholly
without prejudice.
In the four days that remain to the |
mothers of Washington and its vicinity |
The Washington herald., 1911-11-13

lies their last opportunity to give their
children a chance to win one of the
valuable prizes which you have been
told about so often.
News of the contest has reached far
and wide, and the response to the in
vitation extended the mothers and chill
dren of this vicinity hasNmet with a ire
mendous response, but as have said be-
fore, the joy that shall prevail at the
close Of the contest will mot be with
out alloy if enc single eligible child in
all Washington, and its outlying coun-
try, has been left out.
If they are, dear mothers, the fault
will be yours. J.CM

1t is very selfish to remain away from
