Children did not originate the prac-
tice. 1t is the method shown by their
parents, and so each year we have a
slaughter OF the lnnocents equal in
number to the loss in great battle,
and, as in the days of old, when hui
man sacrifices were laid on the altar,
we sacrifice to the nations glory hun
dreds OF its embryo citizens.
The man who takes his life in his
hands and goes to battle for his coun-
try's protection gives his life to a
worthy cause, but the children whose
lives are sacrificed to celebrate the ma
tons birth have given their lives to
little purpose.
Is 1t not time that parents Should
think of this subject, and see If they
cannot devise other methods OF cele-
brating our national holiday that will
not entail such sacrifices Of life and
property? Is II not time that in an age
when peace and arbitration are In the
air, and when the great nations of the
earth are steadily advancing toward
the day when disputes and differences
will be settled by arbitration, that we
should begin to teach the children
higher ideals OF patriotism than noise
and shooting?

SOME HINTS FOR = SUMMER
MEALS.

During the hot weather food spoils

four hours. Fruits OF all kinds, green
vegetables and little meat should con.
stitute the bulk of ones diet.
Fruits needs mastication, even the
very ripe and tender varieties. Those
who are distressed after eating fruit
are usually those who are careless
about masticating It,
Summer breakfasts are usually a
problem to the householder. especial
ly If her family has a diversity of
tastes. There is nothing more re-
freshing and satisfying than fresh
fruit in its season, and nature has sup.
piled US SO abundantly that even the
fussy person may have the kind he
likes.
Fried fruit seems out Of place, as
does oatmeal, except at rare intervals.
There are always cool days when
hearty foods are relished, so that va
~iety Is thus given.
Housewives who are careful OF their
linen have small colored napkins for
the fruit course, which saves the
white napkins from many stains.
Omelets are always acceptable as a
breakfast dish, especially in warm
weather, and they may be varied by
different sauces or seasonings. A de-
licious sweet omelet which may be
served as a dessert is prepared as fol

Besides leading both upstairs and
down, it gives a grade entrance to
the cellar, a side entrance to the
kitchen, and 1t takes up very little
room.
Downstairs the main feature is the
dining room, which is large enough to
make a comfortable sitting room; and
it is especially attractive on account
of the three windows and the CRATE.
Where chimney can be so placed
as to accommodate the furnace In the
cellar, the range in the kitchen and
the crate in the dining room, you get
large amount of comfort and salts
faction with comparatively little ex.
pense. Other advantages in chin
ney like this are that 1t usually draws
better; 1t climbs out into the upper air
through the peak of the roof, where 1t
is better supported by the house and
where 1t is easier to fix the roof
around 1t so that 1t will not leak. Still
another advantage is the additional
height, which insures better draft.
Chimneys like this draw better for
another reason-they ar0 surrounded
by warm rooms, and the flues are
easily heated. Hot air naturally goes
up; so the ordinary cold draft of the
chimney is increased by this natural
phenomenon. All you have to do to
have things right, is to follow natural
laws and take advantage of them to
promote the end desired.
This little house is only % feet wide
by SO feet long, without measuring
the porch. A 22-foot house can be
comfortably placed on 80 or 35-foot
lot and leave plenty of breathing
space on all sides. Then, 1t does not
cost great deal to build compact
little house from this plan. Under
ordinary favorable circumstances Of
material and labor supply, $4,000
should build it complete, with plumb
ing, furnace, piping for gas, and wiz
ing for electricity.
