GUARDING THE CITY'S HEALTH
BY Copying Nature in This Regard
Vital Progress to the End
Is Assured.

A winding stream, whose waters
pass over the weed growths of the
currents bed, and through the reeds
and rushes which line the banks, is
all the time performing work of puri-
fication of water. The impurities are
being removed and healthy balance
of sweet properties and proportions
restored to the liquid This purilica
ton is aided by myriads OF living
germs which exist amid the growths
of water vegetation. The moral of all
this is that if we would have condi-
lions favorable to human life and
healthy development, we must keep
the balances of nature truly adjusted,
We must restore to our towns and
cities greenery and flowers, clean run
ming water streams, and open spaces
in which the air can acquire move
ment over garden beds and through
the purifying filters of tree leaves. We
must speed the movement for reServ-
ing parks and public grounds, COM
mons and old village greens, squares
and crescents, gardens, frontages, and
tree-planted streets and sidewalks. We
must resist all attempts to build over
spaces legally entitled to be kept
open. 1t is almost as important to
us as it would be to resist attempts
to brick up our windows and doors.

TOWN.
IS I'll L, PS
AD0RN THE COUNTRY HOME
Writer Makes Some Suggestions
Which Would Seem to Be Worth
Consideration.

Too many farmers would rather
have their path from the kitchen or
front door of the house and the barn
between two rows of corn than to see
nice bluegrass lawn, nice shaded
trees, shrubs, roses and other beauti-
house They think it is for the good
OF the families that they utilize every
foot of ground possible for the produc.
ton of corn and other grain, but sure
ly they are therein mistaken. 1t is
no wonder that the young folks on
such farms get tired of the rural mo-
notony and are off to the city. The
ornamentation of country homes is
nearly if not quite as important as the
production of the best fruits and vege-
tables.
What is there that could be more
fascinating to children than an|abun-
dance of good fruit and beautiful flow
ers? 1t teaches them to observe ma
ture, and when they once learn to un-
derstand more about the beautiful
from their beautiful home in the
country, Never mind about the loca-
ton, for it matters not where you live
or what may be the lay of your
grounds, you can make it beautiful
and interesting by planting the right
kinds of fruits, vegetables and flowers
in the right way and attending to them
properly. Now. don't say or think
that it is too much work, for without
missing the time you can make won
derful improvement if you only set
your head to it.
One well-known writer has the fol-
lowing to say on this subject: 1T is
really pity to see how the young
men are swarming to the cities for
employment when they could do so
much better by staying on the farm
if they only knew it. When l say that
the average farm boy leaves home be-
cause it is too monotonous | think |
can prove the correctness thereof with
the statement that there is not one
young man leaves a fruit farm with
beautiful surroundings to where there
are ten leave the average grain farm
where fruits and ornamentation are
overlooked. That persistent struggle
for the almighty dollar is supposed
to be for the good of your family, but
am sure you will succeed much bet
ter in the contentment and health of
your family by changing your plans in
the manner indicated above. Los An

Nine. Maeterlinck in her quaint,
witty way, was talking to a Boston re-
porter about feminine cruelty There
is no such thing as feminine cruelty"
she said. Women, it is true, wear the
feathers OF birds, but they are uncon-
sc.ous OF the birds sufferings, and,
as your old proverb says, What the
eye don't see the heart don't grieve
Men when they set beefsteak or
slip on their gloves, are unconscious
of the slaughtered bullocks and the
murdered kid-and just so am | un-
conscious when, an icy January morn

NUTS IN COMBINATION.

Add a few chopped hazel nuts or
flberts to the next custard pie, and
see what a delicious combination it
makes. Nuts and bread brumbs used
for stufing of peppers, tomatoes or
onions will take the place of meat
most satisfactorily.
Peanuts and Rice.-Take two cups
of well sailed and cooked rice; while
hot stir in a cup of peanut butter, a
cup of cracker crumbs, half cupful
of milk, and two eggs well beaten.
Shape in a rounding loaf and place in
a well buttered pan. Bake until nice
brown, and serve hot with parsley.
This is a most delicious loaf for chill
dren or any one who does not eat
meat.
Nuts with apples or cabbage, in fact
with any fruit or vegetable, makes
good salad.
Walnut Loaf.-Take cup of
chopped walnut meats, four cups of
bread crumbs, one hard cooked egg
chopped, one beaten egg, one onion
grated, salt and sage to taste, with suf-
ficient milk or water to moisten the
mixture.
This loaf may be served either hot
or cold. Mix and mold, and bake in a
well buttered bread pan.
Walnut Croquettes.-Mix together
cup of walnut meats, a cup of
cooked rice or hominy, a bit of green
pepper chopped, one egg well beaten
and seasoning to taste. Milk may be
added if needed for moisture Mold
into neat croquettes and fry in deep
fat
Almond Cookies.-Mix together a
pound Of ground almonds and a pound
of sugar, add tablespoonful each of
allspice, cloves and cinnamon, tea
spoonful of anise extract, four eggs
we'll beaten, and -FOUR to mix, with
two teaspoonfuls of baking powder.
