CONCERNING FOOD AND DIET.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: am sending you few articles on food and diet
 Many of the most familiar fruits and vegetables have distinct medical val ues The proper attention to the things we eat, then, will make them serve both the purposes of food and nedi- cine, and will enable us to save some of the money spent on remedies and doctor bills.
 The following are some articles of diet which. are known to have me- dicinal qualities: Apples, carrots and Brazil nuts are excellent for sufferers from constipation.
 Asparagus stimulates the kidneys.
 Bananas are very beneficial to suf- ferers from chest complaints.
 Beets are fattening and good for people who want to put on flesh. So are potatoes.
 Celery and onions are nerve tonics.
 Cranberries are astringent and. cor rect the liver when it is suffering from inaction caused by overeating.
 Dates are very nourishing and also prevent constipation.
 Grape juice is also a laxative, but the skin and shells are likely to cause constipation > Hcrev is a. good substitute for cod liver oil.
 Lemon juice is an excellent gargle for sore throat.
 Lettuce has very soothing effect on the nerves and is excellent for suffer- CTS from insomnia.
 Onions are also conducive to sleep they quiet the nerves and are very good for colds.
 Parsnips, like sarsa aparilIa, are good for the blood and tone up the system.
 Tomatoes are fine for a torpid liver. but they should be avoided by gouty people.
 V atercress is an excellent blood purifier.
 am greatly pleased to think that Sister Annette is a bit curious in re- gard to my conundrums. Here are the answers: First, Nothing; second. An old shoe; third, A kiss.
 Chrysanthemum: Am sending you q card. Will you kindly grant the re quest?

CRIMSON RAMBLER
THE CHRISTMAS AFTERMATH.

Editor and Friends of the Social Corner: Now the holidays are over it IS rather interesting to know what gifts were sent away and received which seemed to give the greatest pleasure.
 Perhaps it might be helpful if we should have 9 sort of Christmas after ulath of letters and enumerate some of the articles which appeared most to ill the biH' in this line.
 An A. E. C. album presented to q friend who is fond of jokes was a great success. It takes some time to arrange one of these albums, but il can be made exceedingly amusing and with very little expense. For instance the first page reads:

 Another gift new to me was a nice tile book made of half a dozen sheets or writing paper fastened inside: brown covers, with a gilt cord.

HOW c. E. s. MAKES PRETTY RAG
 RUGS,

Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis ters: At this time of year most of the sisters are busy catching up with their sewing. for it will soon be time for spring housecleaning
 1 will tell you a way for using 1tp some of the old cast-off garments which have accumulated the past year
 As rag rugs seem to be in favor I will send in two ways of making them. Very artistic ones may be made with a little care in eoloring the rags and arranging the colors when woven
 While the rag rug made of hit-and- mass bright coiors is neither pretty nor artistic, the rags sewed and then dyed in any preferred color for the body of the rug and woven with d shaded border; the result will be much more satisfactory
 Hit and Miss dyed in green. blue, or brown will give a pretty mottled center, which may be finished at each

PARENTAL DUTY TOWARD
 CHILDREN

Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis ters:-I have been a reader of the Social Corner page for some time and have been much interested in the let ters, especially in those pertaining to children and their care. 1 should like to say a few words on the relation home occupation should beaf to rear ing children. This seems to fbe E T'rohlem unsolved as yet Ih many households.
 It seems to me home duties for which the child is entirely responsi- ble are very essential In developing his character.
 The clubs which are formed 10 en- courage the children in agricultural pursuits are great Aep in this di- rection.
 In some families the children help with the lighter tasks. but are noJ assigned any special duties. the par ents. calling upon them to do this or that, according to their inclination. The result is constant dissatisfaction and a spirit of discord. The ervices of the children are given grudgingiy and, of course, no benefit is derived by them from such q slipshod method.
 Two neighbors in comparing house keeping notes fell to discussing the encroachment which the little tasks make upon woman's time.
 But" remarked one. T get 8 great deal of help from my children"
 T find it q, great deal easier to do
 things myself than to get the chii-
 dren to do them replied her friend. Although this may seem almost un- believable this is not an unc6fnmon attitude of parents who maybe very conscientious otherwise in the care of their children. They do not stop | to realize that feeding and clothing | them is but a small part of their GJ1- ty; but that they must also teach them to live good useful lives. The woman mentioned had ne- i glected in the first place to teach her 1 children to be obedient, and now from | a selfish motive, to save herself time | and trouble, she was literally encour-
 aging them in inGoIent, selfish tab- i its: and her case is a typical one In another family the children have 1 certain specified tasks which they l are entirely responsible for They 1 do not have to be reminded or urged. | Work comes first and then they are
 free to enjoy themselves and their 1 recreation Is all the more appreci- l ated because they have earned it. l Thus. these children are getting the i first lessons in concentration and l systematic industrious habits which 1 will influence their whole lives and 1 make them happier, better and more i useful citizens.

TESTED RECIPES FROM coGIE
 ANNE.

Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis terS: The old saying is, There is all ways room for one more. I wonder if there IS room for me. I have read and enjoyed the letters written by the sisters for some time and often thought I would write.
 I am wondering if l know Wild Flower. l believe she comes from my old home town.
 Etta Barber sounds familiar. I used to know girl by that name.
 I send one or two good recipes which someone may like to try:
 Cream Carrot Soup-Boil five or six cod sized carrots with small onion 'r7-til tender. A Drain and run through 2 sieve. add the water it was boiled i'. with 1 cup of sweet milk, salt to taste nd butter Thicken a little with flour and water. Fine for luncheon or supper
 Ir1itetion Duck-Boil two onio"s until nearly soft, then chop fine and mix them with stale bread crumbs that have been soaked awhile in cold wa ter or milk: add a little powdered sage, salt, pepper; grease a baking tin put in the mixture: stTew the top with bread crumbs and bits of butter. Fake a nice brown and serve hot either for breakfast or as a side dish for dinner.

spent six hours in the school room vhe the same family live on 5000 per week,
 If mere is large family of young children either those old enough to leave school must work for wages, or all must suffer. or depend on charity, and it is better for the children of humane parents to live in their own home than with strangers.
 Few factory workers in our Con- necticut villages lack food or com fortabIe clothing! and many own their own homes.
 Our people will never be lifted up by obIiging our young people to suf- fer for food and clothing because they cannot earn them by honest toil after they leave school. How much better off is the gir. who is earning fair wages in the factory? Mix humanity with com mon sense.

EMERGENCY DINNER.

Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis teTs:-Try my dinner: Wash clean potatoes. Have them longer in shape then round, put in kettle boiling hot water, cover tightly. While these are cooking (slice some salt pork, not too thick), a little lean mixed near bottom of slice. is good. Place in spider. cover with cold water and let boil gently five minutes, pour this water of into pail or pan; do this twice. then drain pork, rub spider with Iarded paper. dip pork into the bowl of beaten egg (one is enough) and fry light brown. Have another spider not on stove, take pork from fAt the top Of your water that came from pork Peel potatoes, cut them lengthwise, put a spoonful milk Tn bowl where egg was, dip the hot potatoes and fry. With good bread and tea you won't go hungry.
