Open Air Schools Grow in Favor.

Open Air Schools Grow in Favor.
With the opening of the fall school
term over 200 open-air schools and
fresh.air classes for tuberculous, and
anaemic children, and also for all chill
dren in certain rooms and grades, will
be in operation in various parts Of the
United States, according to the Nation
al Association for the Study and Pre-
vention of tuberculosis. All of these
schools have been established since
January, 1907, when the first institu-
ton of this character was opened in
Providence, RI. On January LIST,
1910, there were only 13 open-air
schools in this country and a year lat
'er the number had increased only to
20. Thus, the real growth in this
movement has been within the last
two years. Massachusetts now leads
the states with sc fresh-air schools
and classes for t~uberculous, anaemic
and other school children, Boston
alone having over 80. New York comes
next with 20, and Ohio is third with Fl.
Opel-air schools have now been estab-
lished in nearly SO cities in 10 differ
emit states.

HIS MIND up IN THE CLOUDS
Professor Imagined Appeal Was From,
Fido, and the Situation Became
Embarrassing.

A great lover Of animals, Professor
Dryasdust was much given to having
his pet dog sitting beside him at meal
times eating tidbits from his own lit
the plate.
The other evening he was at q dinner
party, and his partner was a very
great lady. who was proud OF her
title.
But the professor paid absolutely no
attention to her. His mind had
switched off on to some abstruse point
and he was lost to the world over the
problem.
The duchess did not approve OF this,
and presently, to attract his attention,
she pulled him gently by the sleeve.
Then the professor woke up. Grab
bling a ~half-picked chicken bone from
his plate, he thrust 1t under her
startled nose.
Don't bother just now, Fidoi" he
said CURLY. Here. take this and go
and eat it on the mat, like a good dog.

WHAT TO HAVE FOR BREAKFAST.

The American breakfast, compared
to the English meal, ia quite in the be-
ginner's class. Here is a simple break
fast menu for August, taken from an
English cook book: Bloaters on toast,
collared tongue whatever that may
be), hot buttered toast, marmalade,
white bread and butter, brown bread,
and bread and milk.
Another-Pigeon pie, stewed kidney,
milk rolls, dry toast, brown and white
bread. mustard and cress, milk por'
ridge.
A person who could digest such
breakfasts as these in August ought
to make a good soldier. It is said
and justly, that Americans eat toe
much. but we certainly are low on
breakfasts, compared to the English
We need follow no law except that
of the individual in preparing oul
breakfasts, as each individual has de
sires peculiar to himself. Fruit is en-
joyed by some and a source OF dis
tress to another. Cereal Is energy to
n and a "a soggy mass of indigesti
bility" to another. Coffee, the fragrant
refreshing cup, a Joy to many. Is
blamed for much Of which it Is limo
cent.
Then there are the mo breakfast
advocates, an arrangement which Ger
tainly has its good points, for it does
away with the hurried meal presided
over by no house mother or a frowsy
one. Such a beginning is not a good
start for the days work.
A dainty breakfast, well served, is
Of far more value to the individual
than the more food properties served
A far better day is in store for the
man who leaves his breakfast table in
an agreeable frame Of mind, and he
will return, usually, in the same mood

FIGS AND DATES.

We are in the habit of thinking THAI
dates, figs and raisins are CONNECTIONS,
tidbits and %luxuries. They are, in a
measure, but contain much food value,
and are much more wholesome for
children to eat than too much Of the
so-called fresh fruit with which they
are provided. These dried fruits are
both nourishing and economical. as
they take the place of more expensive
foods. Dates have a food value in
calories of 1875 to q pound, while the
much used potato has only 295 to the
pound.
Stuffed Dates-Boil rapidly with
out stirring, one-half a. cup of granu-
lated sugar and a quarter Of a cup OF
milk. Keep the granules from form
ing on the sides Of the pan, by swab-
bling with water. When a soft ball
forms when dropped in cold water
pour out on a platter and beat with
a wooden spoon until thick. Add a
quarter of a cup of shaved walnut or
pecan medLS duu uolo 4uiSntJ
sheet a quarter Of an inch thick Stone
dates and stuff with the mixture.
Date Dainties for TraveIers-Stone
dates and stuff with a mixture OF nut
meats, candied ginger, candied pineap-
ple, roasted almonds and fondant ia
vored witt lemon juice. Roll each one
in granulated sugar and pack in lay
ers in a tin box, covering each layer
with p~araine paper. These will keep
indefinitely.
Fla srittIe.-Melt a pound Of sugar
in a saucepan, stir in a half pound OF
figs chopped fine, and pour into a
creased pan a half-inch thick; cut IN
strips and serve. Nuts may be added
with the figs, if desired.
Oriental cream.-Soak a tablespoon
full of gelatine in a fourth of a cup OF
cold water, dissolve it in a fourth OF
a cup of hot milk; add a half cup OF
sugar, set into a pan Of cold water and
stir until it begins to thicken. Then
add the whites Of two eggs beaten
stiff, a third of a cup of each of figs
and dates chopped, and a half pint OF
whipped cream. Turn into a mold
ind chill thoroughly.

Greenwood.-When the county ex'

that several of the % precincts in the

turn. The vote for these had been re,
ported by phone to the local papers
but no official return was made as re-
quired. The Greenwood city book,
which had been left at the court
house, could not be found. The con-
dition of things was reported in a
letter by Chairman Jas. Rogers to the
