Scald pint of milk in a double boiler.
Thicker with one tablespoon Of corn

Add one egg, beaten light with cup

when may a baby begin eating
meat and how should it be cooked?
Meat should not be given any child
until he has teeth to chew it, usually
at Is months. Beef, broiled, roasted
or chopped fine as for Salisbury steak
is the most nourishing. He may also
have boiled, roasted or broiled chick
en-, never fried; East lamb or chops,
boiled fish. A tablespoon of the meat
or fish, finely scraped, is mashed into
the potatoes for the noon meal. If it
agrees with the baby, and is easily
digested, increase the amount grad

from IA months on, also for delicate
children. 1t is prepared with es-
sence of pepsin or a junket tablet
which can be bought at any good
grocery. Pour one cup of sweet milk
into a clean enameled stewpan. Dis
solve a junket tablet in one tablespoon
of cold water. Turn this lightly into
the warm, milk, stir just enough to
mix it, add very little sugar and
flavoring, turn into cups or sman

sugar and navoring. This dish is said
to be even more easily digested than
plain or modified milk.

Bed Time ales
Was 1t a Fairy"
By Clara Ingram Judson.

DID you ever think about how
hard it must have been, in the
old colonial times, for the boys
and girls who liked fairy stories?
For in those days, music, fairy
stories and many things which now
a-days we think are right and beauti-
full, our old colonial fathers and
mothers thought were full of evil.
Hundreds of years ago there lived
in a New England colony, a little
girl named Prudence. Unlike her
brothers and sisters who were sturdy
practical little folks, Prudence was
dainty and fair and her heart was
full of love for all beautiful things
Many times her mother reproved
her for idleness when really she was
busy watching birds and flowers and
spinning sweet little fancies of her
own.
Prudence hated the rough heavy
homespun cloth of which her dress
was made and dreamed of soft dainty
dresses, such as you little girls have
today.
Prudence's mother was a good,
honest woman, who loved her chill
dren, but who thought she must be
stern and hard with them as was
the custom then.
So she worried a good deal about
her youngest daughter and tried to
crush the love of beauty out of her
little girls heart.
Prudence learned to keep her fan
cies to herself. AS soon as her
share of the homework, the wash
ing or the cooking was done, she
took her knitting and worked her
stint out under the trees or in the
meadow.
You see it was an unheard of
thing then, for little girls to play
just play,-they always had knitting
or something 10 do.
One sunny day. Prudence went
further than usual into the meadow
and sat down by a clump of blue
bells. Not far away trickled little
brook by which grew hundreds of

THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

In making jelly, if you get it too
sweet, and have no more juice, put in
a little pure cider vinegar. The jelly
will "jell" at once, and the flavor will
not be all impaired.
A piece of sandpaper. over which
borax has been rubbed, is very con-
venient for ironing day-cleans and
wakes at the same time.
If you are caught in the rain and
the color comes off your coat onto your
blouse, put the blouse to soak in milk
over night.
