And then, one day, we hear dat-

is the little Imp OF Unrest. SqueIched
by our indignation he retreats. but
ere long, a little bolder. he's back
again to abide with us and tantallze
US and goad us until in desperation
we fling those cherished resolutions
to their distractions.
Poor little resolutions, What pride

blue ribbons Their compauionship

Feeding Twenty on Sc
Dear Miss Doom:

! Dear Miss Doom:
| | am going to have about twenty
grown persons for dinner and supper
on New Years Dav and would like
your advice on what to have to eat
so that 1t will not cost more than Sc.
DO you think l could manage on that?
Please answer before Wednesday and
win the thanks of MRS. NJ. C.
/ l do not see how you could possibly
give two meals to twenty people with
but Sc to spend. Food is so high
Think of the size of a roast or the
number of chickens you would need,
not considering vegetables and
relishes and dessert! However, for
dinner you might attempt:
Boiled ham
Mashed white potatoes
Baked sweet potatoes
Spinach Celery
Cottage pudding with lemon sauce.
Coffee
You see, the dinner will have to be
very plain. A whole ham, boiled and
sliced, will probably disappear very
quickly among twenty hungry diners,
so you cannot count on having any
left for supper. For that meal you
might have
Creamed smoked beef on toast
French fried potatoes Sweet pickles
Apple and celery salad
Orange gelatine with whipped cream
Tea or cocoa sr--
Use the large pieces of celery, not
placed on the dinner table, for the
salad, and serve on lettuce leaves. A
small head of lettuce may be OBJ
tanned for five cents.
Good luck to you, and let me know
if you keep within the Sc limit.

USES OF SOUR MILK

At time when so much is seen in
print about the medicinal value of
sour milk, it behooves the Minnesota
housewife to become an experimenter
to the extent of it's frequent use on
her table, during the summer months
at least. Experimental work is usual
ly expensive, but in this case it is not
so. Sour milk is easily obtained on
the farms of this, "the Bread and But
ter State" and might we'll take the
place of tea and coffee during at least
a portion of the time. 1t furnishes
some nutrients, without the stimulat-
ing effect of tea and coffee. Tea and
coffee, when taken hot, add to bodily
discomfort on summer day, and if
chilled they require as much time and
expense as does the chilling of sour
milk for the same purpose. CONNER
cial preparations, such as "lacto" and
"idalac" owe their medicinal value to

milk will supply Tactic acid bacteria
The use of milk on the farm table
would necessitate keeping some milk
at home each day, and churning occa
sionally, instead Of sending all to the
creamery and buying butter. Such a
course entails extra work, but, if il
promotes good health, it is certainly
the right course to pursue.
There are many ways in which SOU
milk can be successfully used in cook
ling, when combined with other ingre
dients, as in making of hot breads
etc. It is equally useful and nutri
Itious as meat substitute, in the form
Iof cottage cheese. 1t can be used as
