FOODS FOR HOT WEATHER
Matter That Is Worthy Of the Most
Careful Attention That Can Be
Given II.

Much Of the irritability Of the human
race is caused by ovenndulgence in
unbalanced meals composed of badly
cooked foods.
The modern, thrifty housewife plans
her meals so as to secure the best diet
for her family. During the hot month";
heat-producing foods-fats, sugar
starches, heavy puddings and pies
and fried things should not be eaten,
but rather those which are easily di
gested and cooling to the blood.
The business In which the bread
winner of the family is engaged must
be considered when planning the
meals. The man or woman leading
a sedentary life requires foods easy
of digestion and assimilation. This
class Of people does not require as
much food as that engaged in muscu'
lar labor. The latter class needs heav'
Ter meals, but these should be less bur.
densome than in winter
For both classes too much cannot
be said about masticating ones food,
The teeth were made for this purpose
and many ills would disappear if food
was not bolted into the stomach, which
is too often overtaxed.
Salads rich with mayonnaise or
boiled dressing should never appear
at dinner, but be served for luncheon
or supper. Green or fresh vegetable
salads with simple oil and vinegar
dressing are the proper thing for din
ner at all seasons. Potatoes can be
eliminated from the menu some days
and in their place substitute macaroni,
rice, hominy, beans, peas and other
starchy getabJes.-Woman' World

EMBROIDERY A REAL ART
Practically Only Workers of the East
Give TO It the Required Care
and Attention.


1t is said that embroidery is the
mother of all needlecraft Some en-
thusiasts claim that it is as great an
art as painting or sculpture. There is
much in early history that has been
handed down to US in embroideries,
which have depicted upon them GER
tain events embracing historical per-
sons of olden times. When embroidery
was more or less young, the embroid-
erer was his own designer. AS many
men were interested some of the en-
broiderers, including both men and
women, frequently devoted their entire
lives to the work which authorities
have agreed in calling one Of the finest
of arts.
Now, however, in this rapidly twirl-
Ing time, embroidery has degenerated
into nothing more than a pastime, and
rarely is there an embroiderer who
works lovingly and with thought Of
posterity, except, perhaps, over ba-
by's layette. But for really artistic
embroidery, which is made with the
idea or its lasting more than one gen.

being made by occidental fingers.
