teresting and Free School Is Very
Very Popular.


at the armory this afternoon gave
many valuable hints in regard to the
proper diet for growing children. Mrs.
Vaughn is the proud mother Of five,
about the best looking, most robust boys
and girls in the state Of Tennessee
They are evidence enough to show that
Mrs. Vaughn knows whereof she speaks
in the matter of child feeding.
In her lecture today Mrs Vaughn ex-
planned the characteristics Of children,
and it was very easy to see that hers is
not all book knowledge; that she speaks
out of wide and interesting expert
ence. She believes that food has its
effect upon the minds and morals Of
children as well as upon their bodies.
She says there can be no satisfactory
mental growth and moral development
without strong bodies, and that children
must have proper nourishment to have
strong bodies. She says that many a
case of nervousness in small children,
as well as boys and girls well along in
school, is merely the result of improper
diet, and that if mothers would study
this matter thoroughly and intelligent
ly, they would help their rons and
daughters materially in their school
work.
Usefulness Of Flreless Cooker.
In her demonstration Of the fireless
cooker this afternoon, Mrs. Vaughn
proved that it is very valuable addi-
tion to the furniture of any kitchen.
She says the initial cost of really
good one is little high, but it will re.
turn its money value in very short
time in the saving of fuel This inn
portant item is not the best point in
favor Of the fireless cooker. It is also
great saver Of energy and worry. The
woman who owns fireless cooker need
not feel tied down to her household du.
ties. She can prepare her dinner and
put IL all in the fireess cooker and
then 90 away and devote her time and
her thoughts to anything she chooses
without a single worry as to her dinner
being burned, or not being ready when
the time comes to serve it. Mrs
Vaughn proved, too that the firelesf
cooker has many uses, and proved it IN
a manner which highly pleased her au
dience.
Mrs. Vaughn gave away another cake
today and everybody claimed it was
the prettiest one she had made this
week. II was covered with roses SC
beautiful and natural looking, that they
would have deceived even the beeI
which once helped Solomon out of di
lemma, especially as these roses were
not only fragrant, but sweet as honey
and just as good to eat. Mrs. Vaughn
is making cake baking very popular in
Salem by her lessons In this useful art
She is showing how to make inexpen
siye cakes that are rich and delicious
as well as some that are expensive, th,
recipes Of which are valued by Salem
housewives, for special reasons.
Household Economics Tomorrow
Mrs Vaughn will explain just what
sho means by the right sort OF economy
in her lecture tomorrow afternoon il
The Capital Journal Cooking School
She win demonstrate this in her menl
with the exception Of one item, whicl
is the Japanese Fruit Cake. This Mrs
Vaughn says is not an economical cak'
but it is one Of the finest recipes sh'
had, and she feels, that II would not BE-
doing justice 10 her Salem audience, y
she did not show them how to MAKE
this cake, and give them the opportuD
ity Of saInpling its richness The entir'
menu will consist orr
Chicken a Ia King
