DIET FOR RHEUMATISM.

Rheumatism is one of the diseases
which is especially Influenced by diet
In acute cases a fluid diet of gruels'
vegetable soups and all forms of milk
are used.
Alcohol is especially tabooed. drinks
of lemonade without sugar, buttermilk
and fruit drinks are permissible. Sac
charm supplies the place of sugar
when needed without any of its harm
full effects.
Gout is apt to follow an attack of
rheumatism because of ne large ac-
cumulation of uric acid ia the system.
Whenever 1t is found in the system,
even in small quantities, special at
tention should be paid to the diet
One wise old proverb to follow is to
"eat less, work more, worry less, walk
more"
Only Just food enough to sustain the
body should be eaten. Eating 100
much is very harmful. Three slender
meals day, with nothing between
meals, are sufficient.
Alcoholic drinks as well as sweets
and sugar should be avoided even in
mild cases of the trouble.
oysters may be served in this diet
provided the hard muscle is removed.
Milk seasoned with the oyster liquor.
when one tires of milk, makes desir-
able change.
Junket, or whey, is borne by the
most delicate stomachs. Sweeten a
quar-. CT milk with saccharin. add a
tablespoonful of rennet or tablet dis
solved in a Tablespoonful of water, a
tablespoonful of lemon juice; let stand
until thick, chill and serve. Do not
shake, as the whey will separate from
the curi. The whey may be poured
off and used as a drink and the curd
giver as a food.
If milk causes gastric disturbances,
may be peptonized. In quart can
put five grains of the extract of pan
creatin pinch of baking soda and a
gill of water; shake and add pint of
milk Put into a warm place for an
hour. " hen slightly bitter in taste
and &. .yish yellow in color, scald or
,ut on ice to prevent further digestion.
This milk will be easily assimilated.
as it is predigested.

DESSERTS.

Most of the sterner sex feel as II
they had been deprived of their Just
dues and had not a perfect meal un-
less they have had some kind OF pud-
ding or pie for dessert. These trines
light as air. do not appeal to their
taste. So even in warm weather,
when an occasional cool day arrives
is good time to prepare heavier
dessert.
Here is one to keep on hand and
steam up for occasions:
French Fruit Pudding.-To n cup OF
finely chopped suet add a cup of mo-
lasses and a cup of sour milk, then
two and three-fourths cups OF flour
sifted with n teaspoon and half oil
soda half a teas poon of salt and
cloves. a teaspoon of cinnamon. When
well mixed add cup and fourth OF
raisins and three-fourths of a cup OF
currants. Steam four hours in but
tered mold.
Sterling Sauce.-Serve this sauce
with the above pudding: Cream half
cup of butter, add a cup of brown
sugar, teaspoonful of vanilla and
four tablespoonfuls of milk. Add the
milk drop by drop to keep the mix
ture smooth.
Fig Pudding.-Chop third of a
pound of beef suet, add half pound
of chopped figs; cream the suet before
adding the figs. Soak two and half
cups of bread crumbs in half cup OF
milk, add two beaten eggs, cup OF
sugar and three-fourths of teaspoon
of salt Mix all together and steam
three hours. Serve with egg sauce.
Two beaten eggs, a cup of powdered
sugar and three tablespoonfuls OF any
fruit juice.

spoonfuls of butter in granite sauce

Government has ss2,ooo,ooo Surplus

Washington.-The federal govern
ment closed the fiscal year June 29
with a surplus of $32.O00.O00, accord
ing to estimates based on incomplete
returns from the sources of revenue
the country over. This amount far ex
ceeded the most sanginue eXpecta
tiCns of Secretary McVeagh, who
months ago estimated that the surplus
would be s1O,25O,000
The surplus at the close Of the fis.
cal year 1911 was $45,6S2,000.
The failure of Congress to pass the
general deficiency and other appropria.
ton bills which would have called for
large disburse ments during the closing
days Of the fiscal year helped the gov
ernment to pile up its surplus.
Another big element in the figures
was the corporation tax which, it is
calculated, brought in s2,000,00O
against S33,000,000 last year
Custom receipts yielded about $310,
100000 this fiscal year. against S314,,
100000 last, while internal revenue
taxes amounted to 1922 0O0,0 900 against
$3.50 600, 900.
The taxation on beer indicated that
the American people consumed 63,000,
900 barrels during the year. The gov
ernment realized $l49,000,000 in dis
titled spirits. s6S,000,000 on beer and

SMALL COATS TO BE WORN
Fancifui Little Garments In Many
Materials Are a Feature Of
the Season.

The most difficult part of the fitting
OF an overdrapery is in keeping the
sides straight and slim in outline. The
slit skirt is now accomplished with
an over-efTect.
There is every indication that the
short, fanciful little coat in silk of one
kind or another is to be an important
item of the summer outfit this year,
The eton, the bolero and host of
models more or less related to these
two old friends are already in evil
dence, the less closely related coatees
showing a leaning toward abbreviated
mantle or dolman lines, in keeping
with the ubiquitous taffetas and their
bouillonees, ruching and quillings
On the whole, these little wraps are
picturesque and piquant. Perhaps
some of them are trifie too odd, but
that depends great deal upon the
woman who wears them.

WHAT TO DO WITH LEFr-ovERs.

Every day is a fresh beginning"
with left-overs. They are like house
work. powerful constant" 1t is in
deed surprising what good and appe-
tizing dishes may be prepared from
the combination of two or more foods.
To the frugal and saving cook, 'all is
fish that comes to her net" A cupful
of cooked spinach left from dinner
may be mixed with mashed potato. egg
and seasonings and sauted in bacon
fat, making a nice little luncheon or
breakfast dish
An escalloped dish OF rice and as.
paragus left-overs is most appetizing.
Put n layer of cooked rice in ba-
| king dish. pour over asparagus which
has been served with white sauce, an
other layer of rice and asparagus and
finish with crumbs well buttered
Bake until thoroughly hot. If there is
not enough of the asparagus, add a
hard cooked egg or two to the com
bination.
For good dessert in an emergency
try using this: Butter few slices of
bread, lay them in a baking dish and
pour over cooked pieplant, or fresh is
better; sprinkle with sugar, put on an
other layer of buttered bread, cover
with the pieplant and bake. This des-
sert may be covered with a meringue
or not as one likes.
Mutton Raeout.-Beat currant jelly
until smooth, measure three table
spoonfhls in hot saucepan, add tea
spoonful of lemon juice and two ta-
blespoonfuls of butter. When the but
ter is melted, reheat thin slices of
cold boiled mutton in sauce. Season
whit salt and paprika.
Minced Lamb.-Chop remnants of
cold roast lamb; there should be a
cupful. Put two tablespoonfuls of but
ter in a hot saucepan, and when melt
ed add the lamb, some salt, pepper
and celery salt, and dredge thorough
ly with flour; then add enough stock
or water to moisten. Serve hot on
small slices of buttered toast
Dried beef chipped in small pieces
and added to rich white sauce makes
fine accompaniment to baked pota-
/ toes for a luncheon or supper dish:

GIRDLE SHOULD BE NARROW
Important Fact That the Woman Of
Middle Age VIII Do Well
to Remember.

II the middle aged woman insists up
on wearing a girdle. regardless of the
length or width of her waist. she
should have that girdle very narrow

of her skirt. A certain well dressed
middle aged woman who looks much
slighter and taller than her true
measurements affects girdles of satin
or velvet ribbon of black or deep
shade of a color.
The belt portion of the accessory
never is more than an inch broad and
goes about her waist, closing under
