While motoring through the rural
districts, you know, I overlook a
country woman and her wee son,
who were conveying large pals of
fresh milk to the barnyard, you know
I endeavored to make plain my wish
to partake of a cooling draught Of
the lacteaI fluid, when the lad spoke
up:
"Oh, nav, this swell boob in the
whiz wagon has got yen for a swig
O. the coffee-calsomine. l guess he
wants to try a bovine cocktail before

papers, or smoking in the hammock,
or gossiping about the weather and
the ball team?
why should we scramble around
Sunday morning getting the chicken
and potatoes and salad ready, and
baking pies and cakes, till about
seven minutes Of church time, then
hustle to church and hustle home
again and labor for an hour longer in
a hot, stuffy kitchen to get the meal
on the table?
''Why should we rise YEARLY after
the banquet and clear the table and
wash unnecessary dishes till half
past four p. m. and then begin to

Sunday dinners bad for them.
"Slow down on Sunday" they say.
MAKE it easier for your stomach.
And especially make it easier for
mother. Give her a chance to get
one day OF rest week. Have pity,
too, for the hired girl.
''Plan a simple, cold meal and get
most Of it ready on Saturday. Veal
loaf, boiled ham, pressed chicken and
many other kinds of meat are better
cold, anyway. Make little salad to
go with the meat. Don't use veg
etables that take long time to pre-
pare. Don't bake. on Sunday. There
are hundreds Of desserts that can be
made Saturday and served cold.
"And serve the meal simply. Don't
use any extra dishes. You may not
feel so stylish, but your stomach will
feel better and everybody viii have
