PLANNING THE MEAL.
Balanced Rations an Important Factor
In Home Economics.

"Oh, dear. This eternal planning
and contrivins, from meal to meal,
over what to serve next"
A common enough exclamation, sure
ly, and one familiar TO the family man,
who too often considers wife's work
more or less of Il sinecure and wonders
why she frets so easily over tribes
Just throwing things together in
bulk, regardless of the foods effect on
the general health and efficiency of
those who must eat it, is n wasteful
and even a dangerous process.
Nowadays the thoughtful housewife
balances radons' as skillfully and
carefully as does the careful stock
feeder She feels that what is good
for beasts of the field is surely worth
applying to man.
A few hints ON balancing rations from
the home economies department Col
lege of Agriculture, University of Wis
consin, follow:
Fat, protein and carbohydrates
should be distributed through the day
so that no meal will contain an ex-
cessive amount of any one fOodstuff.
Don't serve two or more foods rich
in the same foodstuif ut one meal.
For example, macaroni and cheese
with meat. rice and potatoes.
Don't serve the same food in the
same form twice in the same day eX-
cent with such staples ms bread butter
and milk. Never serve such combi
nation as tomato soup and tomato sal
ad. or creamed peas and cream of pea
soup in the same meal
Work for flavor contrasts between
different courses Of meal. Seek to
have pleasing combinations OF favor,
color and form in each course.
Plan to serve a fruit or vegetable al
each meal A mixed diet of vegetable
and animal food IS safest and best

Quickly Relieves
Without DiStres

The congestion of waste and
refuse from the stomach, ferment
ing in the bowels, generates poison
Gus gases that occasion distress and
invite serious illness. Health and
comfort demand that this conges-
ton be speedily relieved and the
foul mass expelled.
The well-founded objection most
people have to the violence of ca
thartic and purgatiye agents is over
come by using the combination OF
simple laxative herbs with pepsin
that is sold in drug stores under
the name of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin. A dose at night brings re-
lief next morning, without discom-
fort or inconvenience. A free trial
bottle can be obtained by writing to
DR.. w. B. Caldwell, 452 Washington

PARIS AND BERLIN.
Both Know What It Is to See Foreign
Armies Within Their Gates.

Armies Within Their Gates.
Paris has had severe experiences in
the way or suirenders to invading
armies. On March 81. 1914. the allied
armies that had hemmed in Napoleon
entered the French capital and oc-
cupied it with n force of 100000 troops.
After Napoleons escape from Elba and
his defeat at Waterloo the armies OF
the allies again entered Paris July z.
1915. Thus the great city had to sur
render TO its enemies twice within
sixteen months. Fifty-five years later
Jan. 2S, iSIl-the city surrendered
again, this time TO the victors in the
Franco-German war, after brisk bonn
bardment
Berlin has seen foreign troops enter
It's gates no fewer than three times in
the last 200 years. The first time,
curiously enough. the conquerors were
Austrian troops under General Had
dick, who entered Berlin in 1861, when
Frederick the Great was engaged in
lighting the French on The Rhine. Dur
ing their stay the Austrians imposed
fine of 100000 on the city, rs well MS
communicating huge quantity of pro
visions ana equipment for their troops
II was only Just over three years
later when both the Russian and Aus
trian troops, then allies Of one another
entered Berlin. This time the city was
fined 100000.
The time that will be best remem-
hered. however. was the entry of Ma
poleon into Berlin after the victory of
Jena. Napoleon inflicted very heavy
fine on the Germans and forced them
to feed his troops. London Tit-Bits.

HELPFUL HINTS FOR
HOUSEWIVES
Method of Stretching a Cur
tain Without Frames.

\ good way TO avoid using the ordi-
nary four pole curtain stretcher is to
make use of the following method:
Take the lace curtain and fold it once
lengthwise; then pin it up on tightly
stretched line with large number of
clothespins and slip clean pole be-
tween the two sides TO keep it taut.
This method not only stretches the
curtain satisfactorily, but saves con
siderable time otherwise required in
