Dear MISS boon.
If Mrs. r.. NJ will get prepared barley

about one ounce every hour until strong
enough to take two ounces every two
hours also give her baby one half ten
spoon of pure olive oil say about three
times n day. aud whom baby Is put IN
bed and also massage its body with oil
and give II drink Of fresh cold water
about four or five times day; baby
also must have plenty of fresh air, | am
positive she will not have to get a wet
nurse, and know from experience that
the baby will show improvement in less
than four DAYS as ! had a baby like that
myself and know what this treatment did.
II have helped many a mother out Of the
same worry. Wishing Mrs, II. NJ. every
success. I remain.
A MOTHER WHO KNOWS.
We all know that barley water is
excellent for weak little stomachs.
There is common sense in every line
of Mothers" advice, ! think | have

wet nurse, Mrs. H. NJ. and would adj

ment know of a baby whose little
stomach was in such a state that he
had to be fed chiefly with oil through
his pores; and you ought To see him

Z Housekeeping is analogous TO bust
ness; money must be spent TO pro-
duce certain results and the expense
account must be watched TO make it
bear proper relation to the health
and comfort derived from the expen,
diture. II is in attention to details
that an honest return for money and
service spent is found. This means
that the housekeeper must have a
system based on a solid foundation
reinforced with experience, expert
ments and investigation. Then there
will be no friction whether there be
one maid kept or twenty, or whether
the mistress herself is parlor maid,
cook or waitress.
1t is as much the duty of the mis-
tress to be trained to adjust her do
nestle problems. as for the maid to
know how to execute the orders she
receives. Almost any young woman
of ordinary intelligence and willing
disposition can be taught the prin-
ciples of housekeeping if the teacher
has as much patience as the maid; in
every house there are two bears
bear and forbear--and they need daily
exercise.
When your maid is trained she will
want an increase i'm salary but that
is to be expected and YOU will be able
to enjoy months, perhaps years, of
comfort in return for your efforts,
and if she leaves you will have the
pleasure that comes from helping
others which is its own reward. Much
is told and written of the ingratitude
of hired women, while little is said
of the hundreds of faithful servitors
who have been many years with the
same employers, doing their work
faithfully, and using their best eff
forts to make the family comfortable.
In training maid you will do best
TO start at the beginning, as if she
had no standard whatever, probably
she will never have seen many of

DOMESTIC SCIENCE
Conducted by Mrs Alice Gitchell Kirk

the utensils you use daily in your
Kitchen: rightly taught that they are
real helps she will use them care
fully. She will learn much from OBJ
servaton as she helps you with the
details of. your work and you can
teach in the order that circumstances
make easiest.
The first thing to begin with is
boiling. Many people who have
cooked for years in haphazard
fashion do not know when water is
really boiling For this lesson cof-
making furnishes a good demon
stration, then vegetables then soup
making, beginning with vegetable
soups first
BY this time the beginner will have
grasped the fact that boiling water
helps to retain juices and extracts
and cool water softens hbers and you
can explain the secrets of the frying
pan: when she has learned that hot
fat bursts starch grains and forms an
imperVious coating that the fat can
not penetrate. simple meat sauces
and gravies may be made. This
should be accomplished in two weeks,
though cooking, which looks so easy,
is slowly taught
Having learned to make sauces and
to cook the meat in the simplest
ways. croquette-making, scalloped
dishes, creamed meat and fish en-
trees will prove easy.
Pastry and cake and dessert max
ing will have to be taught gradually,
beginning with the simplest batters.
As for breakfast cakes and gems and
biscuit bread-maklng should not be
attempted for several weeks unless
the maid is especially apt. After
the first few weeks cook book may
be given and should prove great
help, if 1t is a tested one and reliable
However. the inability to use recipes
does not imply that one cannot learn
to cook. A stout colored girl who
could neither read nor write comes to
mind. She was very observant, and
though eighteen before she entered
big house" kitchen totally UNI
trained learned in six months the
rudiments of everyday cookery and
table service and is now a well-to-do
caterer.

GERMAN IDEAS
FOR THE COOK

Here is a cheap and good German
dish: Get two TANKS of lamb Tor
about 10 cents, put on to boil ana
add two quarts of string beans ana
about four good-sized carrots. An
onion may be added. Cook so as not
to have too much juice, and when
done put piece of butter in spider
and brown a heaping tablespoon of
-four. Add this to your stew and you
viii see what a nice cheap dinner you
have. Season to taste. A pinch OF
thyme added is nice if one likes II.
Here are two more German ideas:
When cooking butter beans or CAB
bage pour off water when soft and
add sugar and vinegar to taste, also
use the Drowned -four. Try these
with roast pork and see how nice
they are.

Borders Revived

Borders and more borders" is the
slogan of the manufacturers these
days, and the lovely cotton erepes,
voiles, marquisettes, silk chiffons and
foulards are dantily decorated along
one or both selvages.
OF course, one expected to see chal-
lies with borders. After having be-
come accustomed to relying upon the
border for trimming the gown, women
are not likely to relinquish this ready
solution of the dressmaking problem.
SO the new challis boasts even more
alluring borders than it displayed last
season.

MoDlSH SLEEVES

In many of thd new dress models
the sleeve is a thing quite apart from
the costume, and yet II must have a
decided connection. For instance, 4
cloth dress may be quite freshened
up by inserting new pair of sleeves.
They may be of some CONTRASTING
material. such asl silk, net or crepe,
but they must Match the dress in
color and be trinimed with bit of
its fabric INTRODUCED either as an in
set or a cuff.

THE USE OF OLIVE OIL

Not everyone realizes the medici-
nal properties of olive oil. 1t is quite
true that the machinery of the body
needs oiling OCCASIONALLY, like any
mechanical machine which Is con-
stantly in, use, and olive oil taken in
ternally will be exceedingly bene-
fetal. A tablespoonful will aid the
digestion and case liver trouble. This
oil should be served frequently as a
dressing and Is not only pleasant on
vegetables, but serves as an appe-
tier as well Taken Internally, either
with salads or alone. IL is beneficial
for catarrh either of the stomach or
throat.

One stunning looking blond girl
wore a boat shaped hat of brown
hemp, turned up abruptly all the way
around. higher in the back than in
the front. The under br'm was lined
with brown velvet, and the only trim

Another chic creation was deep

with Bulgarian ribbon, and two Nu-

side.
A hat very much in the shape Of
an old fashioned walking hat was
faced on the under brim with black

directly in front.
Numidie quilts are the most popular

Hats with no brim at all, setting
down close over the head, have q
