MUCH BENEFIT IN THE YAWN
Medical Science Recommends a
Stretching of the Muscles as
HealthfuI Form of Exercise.

Yawning is said to have an exceed
lngly healthful function besides hav-
.ng statutory effect in complaints OF
he pharnyX and the eustachian tubes.
According to Investigations yawning is
the most natural form of respiratory
muscles of the neck and chest.
1t is recommended that every per-
son should have a good yawn with
the stretching of the limbs morning
and evening for the purpose of ven
tilating the lungs and tonifying the
respiratory muscles.
An eminent authority asserts that
this form of gymnastics has a, remark
able effect in relieving throat and ear
troubles, sand says that patients suf-
fering from disorders of the throat
have derived great benefit from it.
He says he makes his patients yawn,
by suggestion or imitation, or by a
series of deep breaths with the lips
partly closed. The yawning is re-
peated six or seven times, and should
be followed by swallowing. By this
process the air and mucus in the ell
stachian tubes are aspirated.

An Old HYMN.

I've heard the music that takes
wings from pipe and horn and trem,
bling strings. I've marveled at the
glorious art whose mystery thrills
the human heart. But endeavor all
in vain to recollect some splendid
strain. Instead comes echoing sweet
and low a simple song of long ago.
'Tis but dear, old-fashioned hymn.
With memory mists my eyes grow
dim. And, as / listen, there appears
a face with tenderest smiles or tears.
1t is no song by genius wrought, all
cunningly devised and taught. A
mother-song it soothes my ear with
love unselfish and sincere. I've read
some poets who amaze with splendid
thought and dazzling phrase. I've
read philosophers and feared their
wisdom as they subtly sneered. Such
words. though wondrous they may be,
have small significance to me COM

told of mother love complete.-Philan-

FOR PERFECT OMELET
DISH REQUIRES MUCH CARE IN
ITS PREPARATION.
Proper Amount of YoIks and Whites
is important, and Knife Should
Never Be Used in Serving
Must Be Eaten at Once.

The art of making an omelet is an
exact and delicate one, requiring
judgment and regard to several 'prin-
ciples" Of egg cooking.
The pan should be thin, as quick
cooking is Of prime Importance.
To make a tender omelet, the num-
Der of yolks should exceed the num-
Der of whites.
Up to 1910 the number of yolks was
twice that of the whites, but more
whites now enter into French recipes.
But if there is too much white left,
no art can prevent an omelet from
being too hard.
The egg omelet must not be liquid
at all, but barely set.
In serving, a spoon or fork must be
used. A knife ruins it's texture.
For French omelet break the eggs
: into a bowl, add as many teaspoon
fuls of water as there are eggs, count
ing two yolks as one egg. For each
three eggs add one-quarter of a tea
spoonful of salt and a dash Of pepper.
If six eggs are used, three whites are
better than four where quality, not
quantity, is preferred. Beat them
with a fork until spoonful can be
lifted as if it were liquid without
clinging to the rest.
Put in a tablespoonful of butter and
melt in a thin pan, strain the egg into
it, set on hot part Of the range and
as soon as the edges begin to cook
separate them from the edge OF the
pan with a thin knife or spatula;
slowly, and gently, rock the pan back
and forth so that the uncooked por-
ton runs down next the pan, until the
whole is creamy. Now commence the
art of rolling On the side next the
handle start the roll, curling 1t over
gently and letting the pan rest a
moment on each curve long enough
to brown it lightly, and turn on hot
platter to be eaten without standing
and losing a degree Of heat Cool
omelet is ruined omelet.
For a three-egg omelet the formula
is two whole eggs, two yolks of eggs,
three tablespoonful of milk or one
tablespoonful of water, pepper and
salt.
In poaching eggs the bottom OF the
skillet should be brushed with oil,
then partly fill with boiling water
that is not allowed to boil or simmer
after slipping the egg in from the cup
into which it has been first broken
II the water Is slightly sailed and a
teaspoonful of vinegar added, it is an
improvement. The eggs must not be
old or the white will dissolve. Forty
eight hours after laying gives the best
results in poaching. Let the yolk be
nearly covered and do not disturb I'M
til the albumen has set. Remove with
a skinner.

TONGUE Toast.

Mince remnants of boiled tongue
very fine, mix with cream or milk and
simmer slowly. Add the beaten yolk
of one egg and stir until egg is cooked
Have ready buttered toast and spread
meat over it. If you. like it little
grated cheese can be sprinkled over
it; if not the bread can be placed
on the stove until the meat browns
slightly. Ham toast can be made in
the same way of the lean remnants
of ham. 1t is nice for breakfast.
