AS such they neither do much harm
nor much good. The idea seems to be
very prevalent, for some reason hard
to tell, that jellies are good food for
lnvalids. No medical man now be-
lieves this to be so. DR.. William lib
bles, for example, the great food ex-
pert of London, England, says:
THE public have great faith in jelly
of every kind and name, but, like beef
tea, it is of low nutritive value Ami
mails fed on jelly die nearly as soon
as if they were not fed at all"
Again, Florence Nightingale in her
Notes on Nursing" says:
1T is now known that jelly does not
nourish; that it has a tendency to
produce diarrhoea, and to trust to II
to repair the waste of a diseased con
stitution is simply to starve the sick
under the guise of feeding them"
1t is very evident, therefore, thai
the value of jelly has been greatly
overrated, and that it cannot be con
sidered a true food at all. AS con
diment it is harmless, but as a food
for the sick person it cannot be rec
commended.

Skirts are fuller at the waist, but

upon sugar as the equivalent of starch
that has been digested and made ready
for absorption. A mealy potato or a
lump Of laundry starch is, in fact,
very near akin to lump of sugar; and
the potato, like all form of starchy
food, must be turned into a kind of
sugar by the digestive juices before
it can be absorbed by the system. .
The main function of sugar, as found
in the blood, whether resulting from
the digestion of starch or sugar, is
believed to be the production of heat
and energy"
All this is not saying that sugar or
sweet stuffs Of various kinds cannot
be INDUCED in too freely, for they
can. If eaten in too great quantities
they tend to clog the functionings OF
the liver and cause acidity and flatu,
lence. They may also cause grave
kidney disorders. Moderation in this
as in all things, is necessary.
In saying that children should be al
lowed sweet stuffs, this does not mean
that they should be allowed to cal
cheap and usually adulterated candy
for this is the very worst form il
which to obtain sugar. Sugar should
be provided to them in the form o.
sweet, juicy fruits of all kinds, anC
particularly dates and figs, which are
rich in sugar.

is a wholesome food and not a mere
dyspepsia producer" as was held for
so long When children craved
sweets and candy is used to be forbid
den them on the ground that it was
unwholesome and that their appetites
were unnatural.
But all this is now proved to be I'M
true. Sugar is certainly valuable
and true food, and the craving of chill
dren for sweet stuffs of all kinds is
only the natural cutlery of the system
for material which they need and
which their bodies crave.
If more sweet stuffs were eaten, less
proteid or muscleforming elements
would be necessary, and this is an ad-
vantage, because 1t is the "proteids"
which cause most of the trouble in the
system. An excess of fatty material,
for example, may be stored up simply
as fat, but an excess Of muscle-forming
elements cannot be and float about
in the blood stream or are deposited
in the Joints and tissues of the body
as previously explained, causing rheu
matism or lassitude, fatigue, &C. So
1t is an advantage to eat sugar and
sweet things on this account.

the United States Department of Agri
culture Bulletin ("Sugar as Food")

SOUP FOR TINE SICK.

A good simple soup is made OF
pearl barley. Soak one cup of the
barley overnight, drain and cover with
three pints of boiling water. Add one
teacupful of seeded raisins and the

Set the saucepan on the back of the
range and let it simmer four hours,
adding a little water If it evaporates
too much. Serve this with thin sand

table Salads" Then we nave the great
number of salads of which lettuce
forms the base. To this are added
tomatoes, onions, endive, radishes,
crosses, cucumber, beetroot, celery and
nuts.
Salads are valuable as food mainly
because of the freshness of the vege-
tables composing them, for their
juices, containing valuable organic
salts, and especially iron, which is OBJ
tanned in connection with the green
coloring matter which is upon all
green food.
Salads sometimes cause indigestion
because of the large amount of ibrous
matter they contain. and for this rea'
son are hard to digest Still, when
they can be eaten, they are cooling
appetizing and of value to the blood
as cleansers.
Pickles, when eaten at all, should be
well mesticated, as they are otherwise
liable to cause indigestion. Celery il

good for the nerves, and is often pre-

One tablespoonful of butter.
One tablespoonful of chopped green

Three eggs.
Half teaspoonful of salt.
Melt the butter and cook the pepper
thoroughly in it. Make a sauce out or

corn, cheese, yolks and seasoning; cut
and fold in the whites beaten stiffly;
turn into buttered baking dish and
bake in a moderate oven thirty min

Made with skinned milk and with
out butter this dish has a food value
slightly in excess of a pound of beef
and a pound of potatoes.
Baked Crackers and Cheese No. 2.
Nine to ten butter crackers or soda
crackers.
Two cupfuls of hot milk, whole or
skinned.
One cupful of grated cheese.
Quarter teaspoonful of salt.
This is more quickly prepared than
the preceding recipe, but as the milk
is likely to curdle it has not so good
a consistency.
Soak the crackers in the milk; place
them in a buttered baking dish in
alternate layers with the cheese; pour
the remaining milk over them and
bake. This dish may be covered
with buttered crumbs. Variety may
be secured, in either this recipe or the
preceding one, by putting very small
amount of mixed mustard on each
cracker.

The Pressure Remains.
Springfield Republican

From the Springfield Republican.
1t is painful to learn that the Mil
waukee young man who was reformed
by surgery has backslidden He was in
prison at Green Bay for burglary but
was released on the testimony of sur
geons that his criminal tendency was
caused by the pressure Of bone on his
brain. The bone was removed. but he
committed another burglary. The scient-
lists examined him again. and found that
the silver plate inserted to replace the
bone was responsible. This was ad-
justed. and for nearly a year he kept
straight. But lately he was convicted
Of stealing from his employer. and has
been sentenced to five years in the peni-
tentiary. 1t Is a blow to surgery, but
II Is not unlikely that he belongs in a
hospital rather than a prison. The di-
agnosis may have been sound. even
though the cure failed. II his perver-
sity was really due to a mechanical
cause a morbid condition might possibly
have been set up which removal of the
cause would not cure. In the old days
remedial surgery was both simple and
eficacious because 1t was applied at the
neck: both the social and the surgical
problems of to-day are more compli-
Gated. A prison sentence for the victim
of an injured brain may not be absolute
justice. but it is at all events an i'm

inquiry into motives or mental condi-

the animals" Is what every father says
when he starts away from home on his
annual visit to the circus. and the same
blum goes for little Gwendolen on Com
monwealth Avenue. and little Mike II
the North End. Fond relatives alway :
are glad OF the excuse to teach the young
sters all about the animals-and see the
circus themselves-but the chances are
that they do not appreciate the true Sig
nifcance CT a menagerie. To the circus
visitor II means strange animals and
thrills, popcorn and peanuts. To the cir
Gus company II means something like
$50 600, says the Boston Transcript. This
figure, however. Is by no means arbi-
trary, for the value Of wild beasts fiuc-
tuates remarkably. To-day the value of
more rhinos be hauled from their African
lairs and be put on the European market
and the value per animal may drop - pSs
cent.
Another thing that affecs the valua-
tion OF wild animals is the Question as &,

A fresh chimpanzee from Africa is
worth from $500 to 1900. Let this same
chimpanzee prove bS his continued exist
ence that cage life is no; mortaIy tedi-
GUS to him and Immediately his value
leaps to s. so.
Another instance is the GRAFT. In
spite of the fact that il Is a rare beast
its market value is only about Si,cQ.
The simple reason for this is that the
giraffe in captivity has such a srrail
chance of continued existence that the
average Snowman does no; care 10 gam
bic 5000 on it.
Some eight years ago Barnrm &
Bailey's circus staked $1,000 on two
giraffes- Those two long-necked beasts
have established the long-term record of
giraffe existence in circus captivi:y-they

The elephant market fiuctuates ii great
deal. The price of a green" elephant
runs from 1900 to 5000. Get that ele-
phant used to captivity and his value
jumps: but train him to stand on his
head. ring a bell. beat a drum or balance
himself on a rolling ball and immediate
ly his value scars. That Is why the herd
of fcrty elephants in the big show is
valued at more than $4,000.

John Wanamsker's Suggestion.

John Wanamaker, onces Postmaster
General, and therefore more or les:
qualified to criticise the American Cab
met system, recommends that a Sec
retary of Manufactures, Tariff, and
Customs be added to the list of the
Presidents advisers. This is interest
ing. and it suggests readjustment
along familiar lines.
Should the Senate pass the bill al.
ready passed by the House to create
a Department of Labor with a Secre-
tary in the Cabinet, the work OF the
SECRETARY of Commerce then would be
roughly that outlined by Mr.. Wana-
maker. To him would fall the task of
promoting trade and gathering tariff
statistics, and possibly recommending
tariff rates. There would be, of course,
many overlappings with other depart
ments.
The government, looked at from the
point of view of efficiency, is nothing
more or less than clumsy overgrowth.
1t is not a systematically arranged busi-
ness, and, therefore, the problem of
conducting it is dimcult one. Mr..
Wanamaker's suggestion is in the line
of progress, but it is only fragmen-
tary. The entire structure needs re-
