the following simple way Of making one,

article: Buy yard Of rubber tubing the

and sew the edges Of the fold with few
stitches. Clip on just enough OF the small
end to allow 1t to fit snugIy over the tut!-g:
take stitch through each way to keep it
in~place. and there you are!" The end
held at the ear needs no finish. A friend en-
tirely able to buy an ear trumpet prefers

sists in care in measuring, mixing, and
making, quite as much as in the kind OF

II nuts are at theft best and the house
keeper who seeks variety, as well as
- the one of vegetarian principles,
strives TO work them into her bill
Of fare
Much has been said for and against the
wholesomeness of nut diet. Some of its
advocates claim that nuts may take the
place OF meat in the menu, that they can
be eaten by every one. and should be an
essential part Of the commissariat. So far
have they carried their theory that the
f name of nutarians " has been coined TO
describe them. Like most enthusiasts, they
try to prove too much.
That nuts can be eaten instead OF meat by
some persons. that there are those who find
them excellent in remedying constipation
and other digestive disorders, that often
they are less trying than sweets to the
gastric powers no open minded person will
deny. On the other hand. II is equally true
that there are many stomachs which can
stand them not at all. or only in small
amounts. that they often induce flatuIence
and intestinal discomfort. and that there
are even those to whom nuts Of any kind
are almost poisonous.
The only safe course to follow with
taste and digestion. If you and your family
can eat nuts now is the time to get them at
their best. Not only the native nuts are in
the market but the imported and domesti-
Gated Spanish or Italian chestnuts have
made their appearance and are valuable in
various ways. Those who can eat nuts
make mistake IL they do not have them on
the table often, in one form or another.
Best known to us are the salted or sugared
nuts, the boiled or roast chestnuts, and the
cracked walnuts. hickory nuts, or pecans,
which are served as a dessert with raisins
and dried fruits.
Excellent as nuts are in these guises this
is just beginning Of what can be done with
them, either as a dish by themselves or as
\an addition to other preparations. They
are of value in cakes. in creams, and jelIies.
in conserves and marmaIades as well as in
croquettes and in bread, in sandwiches, and
in salads. Make a study of what can be
done with them If you and your family are
fortunate enough to be able to eat them
and you will find their presence on the bill
Of fare is almost always welcome.
MIXED NUT CRoQUETTES
Shell and chop walnuts, pecans, or hick-
ory nuts, or a mixture of all three; put with
them an equal quantity of fine bread
crumbs. and mix with a white sauce as
