NUTRITION VALUE
OF DAILY MEATS

To one who has not studied food val
ues, "caIories" and the amount of pro
TEN" in foodstuffs is mystery too deep
for Analysing and not to be thought out
in daily meals Yet, it is most fasci-
mating realm in domestic science and
economics. In giving general outline,
sans scientific details, desired informa-
ton may be had in the following sug-
gestions:
Usually breakfast and luncheon are
light meals, although the amount OF
food may be divided between the three
meals.
Presenting that the breakfast consists
of a cereal, fruit, eggs or meat
relish, or fish, bread, butter and a bev-
erage: the lunch, of a substantial dish
Ia stew, a hash or escalloped dish, a
milk soup, bread, butter, beverage
and a sweet of some kind. Dinner
menu, a clear soup, meat or fish, one
starchy vegetable {such as potato, rice
or macaronD and a green one Gas lima
beans, string beans, corn, asparagus, a
salad or dish of greens, spinach, ka1e,
beet tops whatever is in season),
bread, butter and a dessert of. some
kind.
If mutton chops or beef balls are
served for breakfast do not serve meat
for luncheon and use either fish or
chicken for dinner.
Usually when rich meats are served
have fruit or gelatin desserts. but when
breakfast and luncheon have been de-
f1cient in nutritive food have a custard
dessert and high protein meat.
While fruit jellies, pickles and condi-
ments add to the cost of the meats they
do not add materially to the food value
giving energy and nutrition.
Mineral salts are found principally in
the green vegetables. fruit, milk and
| eggs. Some of them are needed for
bone and others for tissue building
some aid digestion. and some maintain
the alkalinity of the body fluids.

Afternoon Refreshments.

There is always a search for appetiz-
ing and attractive refreshments for aft
ernoon card parties, teas and other
forms of socisbility. The truly success
| full hostess is the one who serves re-
| freshments not too elaborate, but al
ways satisfying and interesting.
Fortunately the day of "hieh tea" has
gone. Bouillon. salad, jellies. sand
witches. cakes. ices, coffee, tea and choco-
late. with quantities of candies and
nuts. no longer find place on the after
noon tea table. No hostess feels
ashamed Of offering only sandwiches,
tea or chocolate. little cakes. candies
and sailed nuts for even a formal after
noon tea. although an ice of some sort
sherbet. cafe frappe or some other light
SORTS often offered.
It is always well to seek for new
kinds Of sandwiches. Fish minced fine
and mixed with a little mayonnaise is
good. Nuts and cheese in countless
combinations are always delicious es-
pecially on thin slices of whole wheat
bread. Sliced crisp cucumber, with a
drop of onion juice added to the spoon
full of mayonnaise with which they are
spread, make another good sandwich fill
ing.
Something unusual in the way of an
ice, too, is worth looking for. Nessel-
rode pudding made in individual molds
is attractive. and can be bought for $150
or $1.75 a dozen. A mixture of vanilla
ice cream with cherries chopped through
1t and chocolate ice cream with burnt
almonds sprinkled lavishly through it is
also delicious
Almost any sort of ice cream served
in tall-stemmed sherbet glasses is
dainty Coffee ice cream topped with a
spoonful of whipped cream sprinkled
with grated nutmeg is one good COM
bination. Others are chocolate ice
cream garnished with whipped cream
and candied cherries. rich vanilla ice
cream with a little cold chocolate sauce
rich vanilla ice cream with a sauce
made of little chopped orange pulp
sugar and orange juice.
AS for the cakes. there are many sorts
of thin. sweet waters that are good,
and they are especially desirable because
they are so easy to handle. A good
cooky dough cut with lady finger tin
and cooked crisp and brown makes an
acceptable cake with ices or tea Tiny
cream puffs. iced with chocolate or other
colored icing, are also delicious.

Laughter and Fat.

That there is scientific basis for the
admonition Laugh and grow fat is
upheld by an expert, who says that
cachinnation is the best thing in the
world for digestion. Food must be
mixed up and prepared for final diges-
ton by the stomach. which lies just
underneath the diaphragm.
OF course, the diaphragm is a thin.
muscular partition between the heart
and stomach.
The Churning Process.
In action the diaphragm moves up
and down on the stomach. When we
draw in breath the diaphragm is press
ed down upon the stomach, the con-
tents of which are churned by the
process. Vigorous breathing causes
vigorous churning. Slow breathing
causes but slight action of the dia-
phragm upon the stomach.
The Effect of Laughing.

There never was a more beautl1ul
day than that crisp October day. 1t
was one of those days when you just
feel all over how good it is to be alive.
Bob White felt it. He tingled all over
with the joy of living just as soon as
he opened his eyes very early that
morning. He whistled for very JOY. He
loved all the Great World and he felt
that all the Great World loved him. He
just had to whistle to tell the Great
World so. The very sound of that whis-
tie made all who heard it feel glad. Ihe

West Wind, tumbling out of the big
bag in which she had brought them
down from the Purple Hills to play all
day long on the Green Meadows, danced
over to tell him So
1t made Peter Rabbit, sitting in the
dear Old Brier Patch, feel glad. 1t
made Sammy Jay feel glad. so glad
that he tried to whistle. too. And IL
made a certain man tramp1ng along
the road toward the home of Farmer
Jones feel glad, but his gladness was OF
a different kind. Il guess we are gong
to have some sport, old fellow" said he
to the dog trotting at his heels, ana
shifted terrible gun from one Shout
der to the other.
Now, if Bob White had understood
the warning given him by Farmer
Browns boy he never, never would
have done what he did do. But he
didn't understand that warning, and SO
when he took it into his pretty little
head that he wanted to try his wings
he led his family straight over to the
land of Farmer Jones' He often had
been there before and he saw no reason
why he shouldn't go there as often as
he pleased No harm had come from
these previous visits. So straight over
to the stubble of Farmer Jones wheat
field he led the way. and soon he and
his family were very busy picking up
scattered grains of wheat and were
happy as you or I would be over good
breakfast.
Right in the midst of it Bob's quick
ears heard footsteps. He stretched his
neck to peep over the stubble, and sud-
denly, all the gladness and brightness
of the day was blotted out. What he
saw was a dog with his nose to the
ground, and he was following the scent
that one of Bob's children made as he
ran about picking up wheat. Suddenly
the dog stopped and stood perfectly
still, with one foreleg and nose point
ing straight at a certain spot. Bob
knew that right at that spot one of
his children was squatting close to

walking slowly and carefully and with
a terrible gun held in readiness. When
he reached the dog he sent him on.
There was nothing for the Bob White
squatting there to do but to fly. Up
into the air he shot on swift wings.
Bang! went the terrible gun, and
the sound of the terrible gun up

children in terrible fright. for never
before had they heard such a dreadful

A hearty laugh is an excellent aid to

actual mechanical assistance given to

FUN AND FROLIC
FOR Halloween

Weirdness and mystery are the sine
qua non of Halloween entertainments
and, possibly through consulting the
oracle, sentiment shadows them.
Halloween masquerade is usually a
merry affair, with the maskers appear
ing as ghosts, hobgoblins, brownies,
fairies. witches, owls, cats and bats.
Dancing, peanut hunt (the object Of
this is to gather peanuts which have
been hidden in every available nook and
corner in crevices of sofas, under bric-
a-brac. on mantels, and behind all sorts
of objects), and having your fortune
told by astrology (books for the pur-
pose are sold for 10 cents). are few of
the diversions suggested for this.
If the costumes selected are the sheets
and pillowcases of a phantom party,
then the guests are to forego speech
for a time at least, communicating with
their fellow by gestures and the
'Sh-h-h," when there is too much noise
or ghost" giggles. But whether in
costume or not, there must be fortune
cake, with a ring, piece of money and
a thimble in it, and the regulation re-
freshments-apples, nuts, cider. pop
corn, sandwiches, coffee and wee cakes
or pies.
Fun With Apples.
Bobbing for apples is a sport that
should take place in the kitchen. Nam
ing the apple and then counting its
seeds to ascertain the attitude of a
sweetheart with the same rhyme that
does service when stripping a daisy Of
it's petals: roasting chestnuts named for

candles. lighting them and placing them
by an open window, and the one that
burns longest is the one who will re-

candles are silently named before being
lit), and a mystery cake are a few of
the entertaining things that make Hal
loween delightful. A mystery cake is
made by inserting tiny white bags in
side the cake before baking or icing.
The bags contain -four, which indicates
rich marriage; sugar, signifying a
love match; cornmeal, which shows
that recipient will have to work for a
living, and three empty bags, which tell
of single blessedness for the next year.
