urges Mrs. Virgin, "but the girl on

taste for the beautiful in nature cultivated, as

vases in the house until she is tired of them,
she will stand upon a chair to look on the

WHO PUTS THE CHRIST INTO CHRISTMAS
Who puts the Christ into Christmas?
The spirit that prompted the day,
And justifes it by the giving
OF joy in a true Christian way2
Is 1t them that provic for their loved ones,
And feel that their duty is done,
Or those who bring sunshine and glsdness
Where sorrows have dsrkened lifes SUM-
Who put the Christ into Christmas:
You folks who give much OF your store,
And know that this Christmas will bring yo,
AS much as you give, If not moref
Or those whom the Master has prompted
To search out the poor of His fold,
And give in His name what is needed,
And naught of their bounty withhold?
Who puts the Christ into Christmas?
The ones who give much for effect,
Or those who make gifts oft in secret
To those who SO little expect?
The people who give with no feeling
OF love, or of sacrifice shown,
Or those who give freely, and knowing
That Love is the donor, alone?
Oh, you, who are blessed much by fortune,
Whose lives are made easy by gold,
Won't you put the Christ into Christmas
By helping the poor in His foldF
Godl but there's plenty around you,
You don't have to go very far,
II you're willing, the Spirit will guide you,
And shine like a radiant star.

StuF dAHt hUuBtt
Ny suggestion afew months ago in regard
to a consideration of food values as means
of reducing the high cost of living, was so
kindly received that am encouraged to come
again.
Even more important than reduction in
the butchers bill is a knowledge of the food
properties that are best adapted to keep the
human machine in good working order. We
all know that differe mt foods are required by
the growing child, the laboring man and the
grandfather In the chimney corner. One
writ; puts it this way:
The young wife whose husband earns his
living in an over heated flee with great
waste of nerve force and brain tissue and too
little muscular exercise, need not think she
"sets a good table" when she prepares for
him the same food with which her mother
satisfied her husband, who worked all day in
the bracing air of the wood lot with great
expenditure of muscular force,
To unite many food properties into single
bill of fare that shall be satisfactory to
all the family is the daily task of every
/ housekeeper, who, in most cases, has come
into the work so gradually and along such
practical lines that she seldom realizes she is
constantly solving a problem in domestic
! science. 1t would be both interesting and in
strnctive 10 know the experiences of the
! members of the NJ. b. circle in these matters.
! A few years ago the Department of Agri-
! culture issued two farmers bulletins, No. 3sl,
I Economical use of Meat in the Home" and
! No. 256, preparation of Vegetables for the
Table" which we're followed by No. 4S7,
/ Cheese md its Economical Uses in the Diet, -
1 in which the fundamen tal laws of food values
are plainly set forth, followed by economical
! recipes by expert teachers of cookery. These
bulletins have run through several editions,
and it has been reported that the supply was
exhausted, but have ascertained from the
department, within a month, that they may
be had, free of cost, by ordering by both the
name and number. from the "Division OF
Publications, Department Of Agriculture
Washington. d. c." Any housewife who has
never had these bulletins will feel amply re-
paid for the tronble OF sending for them.
Still another phase of the domestic econ
omy problem suggests itself-ope of less vita
importance than maintaining the health oi
the family or reducing the household ex,
penses and yet well worth discussing. 1t i,
the act of serving plain and inexpensive food
