THE SUMMER DIET
BY ABIGAIL MOORE.

While the menu at all times should be
simple and varied and composed of a
few wholesome, wei cooked foods it is
particularly urged in the summer time
rncr. with more leisure and a greater
varict- 20 select from, the temptation to
orercat is strong.
Green vegetables and fruits have a
direc: remedial value which it is much
more worth while to know about and to
experiment with than to be trying out
different drugs. Certain foods yield a
certain amount of nourishment equal to
certain other foods, and by understanding
this il is possible to obtain the variety
of seasonable foods that is required, for
nature demands change. No one can
be healthy for long on a too monotonous
diet.
For instance. it is useful to know that
green peas are equal in nourishment
value to the same amount of meat stew,
and are an excellent substitute for warm
weather. that brussels sprouts equal
founder i'm food value; celery, strawber-
ries lettuce cabbage, rhubarb tomatoes
and cranberres are relative to beef soup;
apples to pea soup or the white of an
egg; shell beans to fish, navy beans to
duck turnips to beef tea, apples to
chicken SOUP oranges, lemons or onions
TO tomato soup. pineapple to buttermilk
sweet pota toes to venisOn or kidney, car
rots and watercresS to the canned green
beans one has in winter, and onions,
grapes and oranges to potatoes. An
ounce of butter is equal to three raw
ribs of beef
Radishes are hard to digest, as also
are brussels sprouts artichokes, sweet
potatoes, carrots, spinach, cucumbers,
caulif1ower, cabbage and eggplant, and

baked potatoes. peas, beans. string beans
onions. beets, squash, parsnips, tomatoes,
cooked or raw, and most of the fruits
are readily digested. provided, Of course,
they are properly cooked.
Raw onions. if they agree with one. are
splendid for clearing the complexion. as
is asparagus for cleansing and toning up
the stomach and liver. Strawberries are

Vegetarian Dishes.

Summer is good season to try out
Of the many vegetables with which
nature provides mankind. No matter
how firmly you believe in the efficacy Of
meat as muscle and brain builder, you
must admit that 1t should be sparingly
used In the summer. Vegetables can be
made to form the biggest part OF the
menu in its place.
Cucumbers and nuts can be concocted

Perennials are the plants which live on
year after year, when once started.
throwing out their blossoms in PERCUSSION
each season and demanding only min
imum of care. They are altogether the
best plants to grow in permanent gar
den. but most kinds must be started
wear ahead II they are to be grown from
seed. The seeds may be sown up to the
middle Of summer. il a little care is
used. Perennials are just as easy to grow
as ANIMALS; the only difference is that
the plants require more time to reach
the blossoming age. Among the most de-
sirable sorts are foxgloves. larkspur, gall
lardia, pyrethrum. Canterbury bells. grass
pinks, Shasta daisy. hollyhocks, coreopsis,
columbine, BELLS English daisy, baby
breath and forget-me-nots. Some Of these
will bloom the first season II planted
early, but all will make good plants for
next year.
When starting perennials out OF doors
a seed bed. which has been dug over
until mellow and fine, Is needed. 1t need
not be large, for a great many plants can
be started in few square feet OF earth; ;
but it is best located in q spot which is
partly shaded If natural shade is not
available, screen may be made by con-
structing a light frame and covering 1t
with muslin or cheesecloth. 1t Is well to
have the bed raised three or four inches
above the level of the garden, and the
surface should be as fine as repeated rak-
ing can make 1t. If necessary, the top
soil may be put through coal sieve to
make 1t fine. Another plan Is to shake
the earth from the bottom of sods over
the bed. The method does not matter, SO
long as a smooth, finely pulverized layer
of soil Is obtained for the reception OF
the seeds, many of which are very fine.
Then, If the bed Is located In a warm and
sheltered spot. the seeds will terminate
quickly and the young plants make strong
growth before winter comes on.
Before sowing the seeds 1t Is well to
make little burrows with the end OF

Amundscn's Ship Can Go Through IL
Slides are Conquered and Lock Gates

Washington, April 22.-CoL Geo
thals chief engineer of the Panama
canal, in report to the war depart
ment today reiterated the hope he
expressed some time ago that he
would pass a ship through the canal
before the close Of the present year
The statement came in response to an
/ from Secretary Garrison as to
it would be possible to grant
quest of Capt. Amundsen, the
: rer, that he be allowed TO take
=. hip Fran through the canal when
: starts for the Antarctic regions
)m the west coast Of South Amer
"a next winter. Col Goethals said:
THE opening Of the Panama ca
nal for the passage of vessels has al
ways been predicated on the question
of slides and the completion of the
lock gates. The present schedule
contemplates admitting the water
into Culebra cut early in October
and the completion of one flight of
locks at either end of the canal by
that same date. The passage Of boats
theh depends upon the condition of
the slides. 1t is hoped that we will
be able to pass a ship before the
close Of the year, and if this can be
accomplished the Fran will have no
difficulty in making the transit of the
canal and every faculty will be Offer
ed for its doing so. No assurance.
however, can be given in the matter
at this time
