DOMESTIC SCIENCE
Conducted by Mrs Alice Gitchell Kirk

We know that no sane doctor would
do such a thing. but that is just
what mothers and fathers are and
have been doing for years with foods
and then wonder why their children
are pale. nervous. irritable and take
cold easily.
For healthy children mother
should begin to eat right food her
self at least six months before the
child is born. Necessary building up
is furnished at this period by the
mothers blood, hence it should be
pure and of good quality. The teeth
and bones of the child get a good
start when the mother is careful to
| eat bone food such as cows milk.
eggs. ESPECIALLY yolks, peas. beans.
| lentiis dried, whole wheat bread and
other grains, such as oatmeal UNI
pearled barley and unpublished rice.
We have said plain cooking. That
means knowing the right foods to
buy. the best ways of cooking to re-
| tain all the nourishment, served In a
variety of ways and attractively and
then seeing that the child eats it.
There will be no danger but that he
will like it, so say nothing about that
part of 1t.
| We should certainly be willing to
| do as well by our children In giving
! them the right food to eat to build
bone, muscle. blood and make rosy
cheeks, as the farmer is to give just
| the right food to his prize poultry
and cattle. Children, properly fed
need not get sick. There bodies will
be well fed and able to resist all So
called children's diseases.
Fruit, natural unpublished rice and
certified or pasteurized milk, whole
wheat bread or mullins and a limited
amount of butter, about one-half an
ounce. When a cereal is eaten, do
not give them the acid fruits. such as
grape fruit and oranges. Give old
fashioned oatmeal. we'll cooked, UNI
pearled barley, whole wheat and
corn meal.
Add raisins, currants, dates and
figs to mullins or cereal occasionally,
i as this is good natural sweet
which children need. A child's needs
will guide him with such food and
no danger of over eating.
Soups made of a combination OF
four or five vegetables and greens,
or any of the thick cream soups.
potatoes baked or boiled in their
skins, poached or steamed eggs.
Greens of any kind; three or four
dates or two figs or bunch of grapes
in season, whole wheat bread. honey,
stewed rhubarb, apples, fresh pine
apples and occasionally cocoa.
Some things a child should not
eat are artificially colored and
favored sweets; grease gravJ, fried
foods of any kind, chilli sauce,
catsup, pickles and condiments con-
tanning strong spices and vinegar;
no coffee nor tea. Great care should
be given TO jellies and ice creams

make strenuous efforts to keep up a
home appearance. They succeeded,
too, unless too many children inter
fered with the habit. for If it is a
question of herself or the children

which always comes first with an
unselfish woman, and sometimes the
other kind, and after the children are

A FLOWER SHOWER

If your friend is to have a country
home with a garden. a flower shower
will be appreciated by her. Each per-

They will find a great variety of APP
propriate things from which they can
make selections. For the centre of
your luncheon table. suggests a
writer in Harper's Bazaar, have tiny
garden laid out with garden paths

NICE FOR LUNCHEON

PURGE Of Potatoes-Take sufficient
potatoes to yield two pounds when
peeled. Peel and wash, then cut into
thin slices and dry on a cloth. Place
two ounces of butter in clean en-
ameled saucepan. AS soon as it melts
add the potatoes, together with a
large onion peeled and thinly sliced
and a small teaspoonful of minced
parsley. Fry slowly for a quarter of
an hour, stirring continuously in
order to avoid burning. Then add
three pints of stock. Draw the pan
20 the side of the fire and simmer
slowly until the vegetables are thor
oughly cooked and quite soft. Then
rub through a hair sieve into a clean
vessel and return to another sauce
pan. Thicker with one ounce of flour
and one ounce of butter kneaded to-
gether Add cupful of hot milk and
pepper and salt to taste. Make very
hot, pour into a heated soup tureen
and serve with fried crusts handed
separately.

CARE OF THE HAIR

1t is the effort to keep the hair
blonde and fluffy" that often ruins
its texture. All blondes grow darker
as years pass, and any sort of color
ing makes the scalp and hair too dry.
The fact that men grow bald so much
faster than women shows that the
heating of the scalp by constant
wearing of a hat is bad, yet rats"

NY Dear Eleanor:
There is only one way to make the
day go right, in my humble opinion,
and that is to start it right. The
morning coffee should be of the best,
and its Accomplishments so agreeable
that your husband goes downtown
braced in mind as well as body Tor
the days business.
Man does not always get up in the
best humor. Therefore, it is fire.
quently a bit trying, the interval be-
tween rising and breakfast. But if
silence is made to prevail during this
interim. and l cannot emphasize this
enough, no unsteady nerves will upset
your family relations at the beginning
of the day.
The reason speak of breakfast is
that your complaint is not uncommon.
Young wives seem to have dread
of the morning meal, as II 1t were
regular bugaboo, one not easily
downed. What ought to be the most
cheerful hour surely need not be
time of apprehension lest a quarrel
come in at the end.
1t may be asking something of
wife who has to prepare breakfast
herself but If I were in your place
should try and don fresh morning
gown just before sitting down. True,
it is no easy thing to appropriate a
gown to breakfast use and that only,
but 1t pays to do it. The sight of
absolute freshness on a woman's part
puts any man in good humor, and
when it is his wife his respect in
creases for her tenfold. Do not let
me hear therefore. that you cannot
take the trouble for your husband. 1t

not the excuse of poverty TO prevent

Here is a little fable that does not
mean just what it says, and yet 1t
means vastly more than it says:
A woman worked diligently to pro-
vide for her husbands comfort, keep
ing her home in perfect order, and
cooking the best of food. But she
always neglected to put salt on the
food. and would not allow any to be
brought into the house. When her
husband demonstrated with her for
This lack, she took on an injured air,
and asked him if he did not appreci-
ate all she did to make the home at
tractive. He said he did, and yet ne
must have salt on his food she
argued that it was sailed, or that it
didn't need salt, or that, he had
foolish notion and he would eat the
saitless food and beg her forgiveness,
-eays the Delineator. Then he would
feel again the need of salt, ana

What has become of the rosy
checked children we used to see? Is
it because they are coddled and kept
too closely confined in the homes and
in school rooms, or is 1t lack of the
right building food? Possibly some Of
both.
There are many families with chill
dren living in cities, having their
homes in apartments and no yards
for them to play in. Mothers who
cannot afford nurses, fear the danger
of having them play on the streets;
consequently they are indoors with
games and books more than they
should be.
If they are within walking distance
of school that helps a great deal
Then ventilation and sanitary condi-
tions are receiving proper attention
both in schools and homes, so again
that is a great gain to the children.
But foods! Most mothers say to
me: my child will not eat whole
wheat bread or eggs or drink milk
He does not like this, or that or the
other thing. Only yesterday an in
telligent woman was asking me what
to do with her 9-year-old boy
who would eat only the things he
liked and very few of these. Upon
inquiry she said he was well and
strong" Later. as we talked, it de-
veloped that he was pale and nerv-
Gus. That surely does not make
health (and that is what we mean by
Handsomely children.
Suppose your child was i'll and a
physician was sent for. What would
mother think of him if he opened
his medicine case and said to the
little child: What medicines would
you like? You may have whatever
kind you choose"

If you had cleaned it with chloro-

A MATRIMONIAL FABLE

begged her to listen to his plea for
salt She said he was cruel and that
he was making her life wretched.
But he knew in his heart that he
was kind, but that he must have salt
at all costs. Finally he brought SO
much pressure to bear upon her that
she gave in and provided the salt,
and they were happy ever afterward.
Then he discovered that he had pro-
longed the trouble by having tried
to compel her instead of having tried
to melt her heart by more kindness.
And in looking back at his victory
he saw that the turning point was
when he resolved to win instead of
coerce.
