The WAY WITH
The ONE PIECE FROCK
In Many Particulars It ReseIn.
bleS Last Years Models.

The average inexpensive little frock.
the one piece frock OF serge or charm
euse or velyeteen. has a way OF looking
very much like last seasons frocks de-
signed for similar uses. Designers
have seemingly feared to experiment
with drapery Mt all and left US the fn
| miliar straight little frocks buttoned
up the front and loosely girdled at the
waist.
This winter the sleeves are long
where last winter they were. in most
cases, short. This winter there is IA
little more skirt fulineSs eaSed into he
waistband: but. on the whole, there Is
Il radical change. All of which makes
one welcome any model that succeeds
III being simple and practical, yet. be
yond shadow of doubt, new
In some cases clever collar details
give this note of novelty. In Others
there is an original sleeve, and here
and there one finds a skirt that. while
, simple enough for the sort of frock un-
| der consideration. is definitely OF this
season.
1t is possible to give a mere him OF
movement to Il skirt without making
1t bunchy or detracting from its gen
eral effect of limp length. but it is diff
icuit. and the failures to attain grace
in this particular are far more numer
GUS than the successes.
Three new models were in the ever
popular fine dark biue serge. than
which nothing better deserves its pop

which is to silk what the fine dark blue
serge Is to wooden frock materials
, ideally seryiceable. adaptable and be
coming.
Dark blue serge-and nowadays the
blue is likely to be very dark-is at it's
best in combination with black satin.
md the French designers recognize
| this fact and have bestirred themselves
to invent new and attractive ways of
applying the relieving black satin.
The fashion adopted last season of
making the upper part OF the bodice
and sleeves entirely OF the satin still
prevails. and frequently n sees long
sleeves of the satin set into n serge

Viroinia Hams.

The method Of curing the famous
hams Of Virginia is described by the
United States bureau of animal indus
try as follows:
The flesh surface is sprinkled with
saltpeter until the hams are as white
as though covered with a moderate
f..ost. Use three or four pounds Of salt
peter to 1000 pounds Of ham. Imme
diately salt with fine Liverpool salt,
covering the entire surface. Pack the
hams in bulk not deeper than three
feet. In ordinary weather they should
remain thus for three days. Then break
bulk and resalt with fine salt and again
pack in bulk. Each ham should remain
in bulk one day for each pound the
ham weighs-that is. a ten pound ham

WITH COLLAR THAT CAN BE MADH
ROUND OR SQUARE AT THE BACK. WITH
OR WITHOUT SHIELD.
The coat that is finished with
embroidery is always a dainty one for
little children and this season embroidery
is much used. Here is a model that can
be treated in that way or made with
plain collar and cuffs bound or treated
In any similar manner. In the ~illustra-
ton. the material is white ~broadcloth
and the embroidery makes a beautiful
effect but the model is just as we'll suited
to velvet as to cloth. and dark blue or
black velvet with collar and cuffs of the
same edged with white fur or beaver would
make a charming effect. Bengaline is
pretty for coats of this kind, too, and, il
something adapted to hard usage is wanted,
one of the rough finished cloths. such as
chinchilla and boucle, would be pretty.
The o a is a very simple one with front
and back portions only. The pockets are
inserted and finished with wide laps and
the sleeves show just a little fullness
There is a separate shield that can be-
used or not as required.
For the 2 year size, the coat will require
3 yards of material IT, 2 yards Sc or IN

FOOD AND THE CHILD.

Children cannot digest food that
needs mastication before they have
teeth. This may seem an unneces-
sary remark, but watch the streets
and cars as you pass back and forth
and see the stuff that helpless child
hood has forced upon it.
The fact that the child eats and
seems to like what is given 1t seems
to be the chief and only reason some
mothers use in feeding.
Solid food must wait for teeth. The
digestive juices, like the teeth, are
not ready for use in the little child,
as the milk, its natural food for nine
months, fulflls every need.
AS the child grows, food is needed
to build up its teeth and bones as
well as the other organs, and this
food must be supplied or poor teeth
and ill-nourished bodies will result.
Fat, except cream and butter,
should be omitted in the child's diet
until after the coming of the second
teeth.
Acid foods, such as tomatoes,
pickles and vinegar in any form, fresh
and warm breads, woody vegetables
uncooked should never be given a
child until after it has its second
teeth.
Throughout childhood all foods rich
in spice or condiments, sugar except
In small quantity, coffee, pastry, rich
cakes and nuts, fried foods and rich
gravies and dressings should be en-
tirely omitted.
Candy, If allowed at all, should be
homemade and administered in small
doses.
Care should be taken by the jealous
mother that not too great restriction
Is placed upon the diet of the child.
He needs variety and should not be
fed pre-digested foods, as the diges-
tive tract must have exercise, as does
the limbs or other parts of the body,
In order to be normal.
Important points to bear in mind:
Service and cooking of food con-
troll palatability."
Selection and m~astication deter.
mine nutrition"
bad habits cripple life. as do weak
bones the body"

The labor of coaling the furnace or
stove has been simplitied by the inven
ton of a North Dakota man. This IN
yention is known as the gravity fuel
feeder, and the coal merely flows into
the stove as a valve is opened. To do
this, of course, the coal bin or hopper
that holds the fuel must be located
above the furnace or stove. A pipe
then leads down from this source of
supply into the back of the stove, and
the weight of the fuel above keeps this
pipe always filed. A cut off at the
bottom Of the valve holds back the av
alanche, but when more coal is needed
this cut off is opened and there is o
rush which fills the furnace in an in
slant without the back straining labor
of carrying shovelfuls or scuttlefuls
to it.
