THE French say that as nation
American cooks spoil their handi-
work because they don't know how to
favor their dishes properly, and this
criticism is in many cases only too
true.
Lemon and vanilla fiavorings are both
often handled very badly. Many cooks
either leave them out altogether or put
in a great deal too much. 1t is good
thing to remember that vanilla should
not be used with any very sweet dish.
as it is apt to make the flavor rather
glowing, but in a cake or pudding which
contains only a little sugar it is often
a wonderful Improvement.
Unless your hand is exceptionally
steady you had better not pour out va
niIla from the bottle, for instead Of a
drop or two you will get steady
stream. 1t is safer to pour the vanilla
on a lump of sugar; then If too much
comes out you can break of part of the
lump and so get only the exact guam
tity that you want.
Use fresh lemons rather than lemon
essence whenever you can get them.
You can put a squeeze OF lemon juice
the solid kind, but 1t must never be put
into a milk pudding or sauce. for ii
would curdIe the milk and make the
| whole thing llmpy.
Instead. you should cut BIT OF thin
lemon rind and simmer it gently in tlse
milk for few minutes, then take out

New Method Of finding
Dinner Partners

MEN used to think it lot of bother
and pretty hard work to find their
dinner partners at formal affair when
they had nothing but half a card or
part of a quotation to work upon, but
the recent innovation Of New York
hostesses has made 1t infinitely more
diff1cult
So, young men, beware when you are
invited to smart dinner party in this
year 1918. for you are apt to be pre-
scented with a card on which will be
found two red lines It may look to
you like a sample Of some new art. but
1t isn't. 1t is the means by which you
will identify your dinner partner. The
lines represent the contours of the
mouth OF the woman whom you are to
take into dinner She puts q prepare
ton Of red paste on her lips, and then.
allowing them to assume their natural
and unconscious expression. she Inn
presses them upon little white card.
on this card your name will be writ
ten, which means that yeu have to
establish q resemblance between the
impression of two lips tightly closed
and two lips as far apart as possible.

.ealtb In Lent

HOW does Lent affect the health
question for most people?
In the first place, it supplies the OPP
portunity Of enjoying two of the most
up to date cures in moderate degree
rest and fasting. The majority of
people could perfectly well. for the
next few weeks at any rate, cut down
their social engagements, live more
simply and alter their environment to
provide the repose they need A life
of strain and stress is of far less con-
sequence if we can insure definite
periods of rest. and Lent gives the
chance to many people who. to their
own undoing. ignore 1t. The dearth OF
social entertainments insures early

hours, more sleep. 1t would make a
vast difference to the health of any one
to go to bed at 10: 80 every night for
a month. BY increasing the allowance
of sleep we supply one OF the most
valuable attributes Of the rest cure.
The women who are really run down
should try what one weeks rest cure
at home in Lent will do for them.

never contemplate an expensive rest
cure would find that modified one at

PEOPLE who have colds on their
chests are apt to dose themselves
with cough mixtures without a real
knowledge Of the drugs that enter into
their composition The majority con-
tain opium, and giving them indis-
crimifately to children has caused
many untimely deaths. There are too

would emerge stronger, better and
more capable from a Lent rest. Many
women who stand in real need of this
say that 1t would be impossible to rest
cure in their own homes because Of
responsibilities and incessant inter-
ruptions.
But method will do a great deal. and
the clever housewife can plan out the
household routine for perhaps a couple
OF weeks ahead il it is necessary to do
so. The great advantage OF the rest
cure at home is that 1t costs practical
ly nothing.
The starvation cure has been so
much to the front for. two or three
years that most people are aware of
the beneficial effect OF occasional pc
RODS of fasting upon the health. While
the simple pottage of lentils, which in
olden days the church ordained, is not
rigidly adhered to by many today, Lent
enjoins more limited fare, the restric-
ton Of butchers meat and fewer meals
from the hygienic point of view most
excellent advice. Some people cut
down their meals, give up superfiuous
Injuries, while a few fast actually and
continuously, partaking only of the
simplest and plainest fare that is es-
sential to maintain life. In the case of
those who are obese the results are
exclusively good. but there is danger
in extreme measures for the thin,
nervy, representative individual, who
is most likely To go in for observances
on this scale.
Medical men are coming more and
more to feel that the people who ha-
bitually live well and tend to be over
fed, eating at least four solid meals a
day, would be far healthier and hap
pier and would live longer as well if
they could be prevailed upon to fast
now and again, as well as reduce the
amount of food they consume daily. A

AS George Eliot says about cheese.

The same theory holds good concerning
the fashionable sash, which is a hip at

ed drapery about the hips was intro
duced by a great Partisan dressmaker
last August, but it was taken up only

will be doing it,
Yes, the fat and the thin, the rich
and the poor, all alike wifi be swathed
in hip sashes, but let me confidentially
whisper in your ear that it is only the
girl who has no hips to swathe who
will wear the waist adornment with
style. To be sure, in oriental coun-
tries this sash is used to accentuate
curves which in the orient are thought
to be desirable and even prayed for
by the devout Moslem women. They
are prayed against by the smart &C.

ANOTHER
FACTORY
FOR REGION
Crimped Fibre Company to
Locate on Five Acre Tract
in Burnham Across Line
From Hammond; Concern
a Desirable Industry.

The inevitable trend of industries to-
ward the Calumet region has brought
another factory. this time for Burn
ham, just across the state line from
Hammond
Negotiations were closed this week
for the location of the Crimped Fibre
company on five acre tract on the
Co1umet river between Center and 141st
streets in Burnhc-.ai. Half of the land
for the sit was purchased from At
torney Samuel K Markham of Chi
cago and the balance from V. A. Fox.
The Crimped Fibre company manu-
factures a substitute for excelsior. It's
product is used by the manufacturers
of furniture for packing and wrapping.
1t will emplay from 100 to 125 persons
Immediately. It has purchased twice as
much property as 1t needs at the pres
ent time in anticipation of its future
needs. so it is safe to say that ultim-
ately a larger number of men will be
employed. IT will use gas for power
and heating purposes. The president
of the company. George Saunders, is
now making arrangements with Mr..
Ray. of the Northern Indiana Gas &
Electric Company, for the installation
of mains and purchase of gas.
Papers relating to the Incorporation
of the company have been obtained
from Springfield. and much of the ca
chinery for the plant has already been
SHIPPED to Burnham and will probably
be ready to be set up within ten days.
The concern will use temporarily the
old buildings on the property obtained
from Mr.. Markham and will proceed at
once to put them into good shape.
The B. and o. T. T. railroad runs
through the property. The beet thing
about the new plant is that it promises
to run the yaar round.
