A Notable City Prorram.
St. Louis Post Dispatch.

From the St. Louis Post Dispatch.
The Rev John j. Thompson was pleading with
the Board of Estimate and Apportlonment for
an appropriation of 5000 by the city TO maintain
the municipal baseball soccer and basketball
leagues during 1915
The board until the election OF a president OF
the Board of Aldermen next April, will consist
OF the Mayor and Comptroller Thereafter the
new official will be third member.
The Mayor and the Comptroller heard Father
Thompson's plea for the boys.
The Comptroller opposed it, urging that unless
economy was praGticed St. Louis would 'go
broke"
well" Father Thomson retorted. "if this
5000 is going to break the city let ST. Louis be
a good sport and go broke"
That was a saying worth preserving for future
consideration But the hashlght OF civic COM
mon sense was turned on when Mayor Kiel OBJ
served that he would rather see boys playing
games than picking pockets"
That is one OF the things every big modern
city has but imperfsctly learned. to wit that

who should guard the North Sea against
Germany's fleet within the Klel Canal. With

started the whole war machinery by making
her demand upon Servia, King George sum-
moned his young admiral to court and
knighted him. That was last July. He be-

of Chicago became Lady Beatty.
When the War Came
So when came Sir David was as well
prepared for his responsibilities as il he
had rubbed Aladdins lamp and had had his
every wish granted. Throughout Britain he
was recognized as the most brilliant of King
Georges younger officers. Having just
turned from Moscow by way of st. Peters,
burg he rejoined his fleet and now received
the rank of acting vice admiral.
That Sir David is as humane as he is brave
was proved in the battle of Helgoland. AL
though the mission entailed considerable risk
he sent his destroyers to the sinking German
ships that they might save as many as pos
sible of the drowning sailors. 1T must be
admitted" said an official Berlin wireless,
that the British, without stopping to con-
slider their own danger, sent out life boats
in order to save our men,"
Lady Beatty has been scarcely less strenu-
Gus than her husband since the war broke
out AS soon as hostilities began she started
to equip her handsome private yacht Sheea
as a hospital Ship and this she has since pre-
sented to the British Government. 1t has been
used largely for tho transportation of wound
ed soldiers from France to England, and she
has been in charge of the nursing aboard
She is reputed to be as good sailor as her
husband. A year ago, while upon a cruise
in the Sheea, she became for some days the
object of Englands anxiety. With her son
David she was cruising from Malta to AL
giers, where she was to join her husband.

While vessels were securing the Medlterra-

Planning the Menu.

Menus planned ahead for three or
four days mean a material saving In
time and labor for the busy woman.
Day-to-day planning and ordering
place tiresome and unnecessary tax
on the, housewife and can easily be
avoided with system and forethought.
and fifteen minutes spent at your desk
will result in far more carefully and
economically arranged meals than can
hurried daily inspection. or course,
some good housewives enjoy ordering
and planning, and to them the daily
undertaking Is pleasure, but many
have no natural ability or fondness
for catering. To these the preparation
for meals is labor and bore. Still
others have scant time. In such cases
the habit of planning ahead will prove
a great relief.
To write out menus for an entire
week is hardly practicable in a small
household. However, planning ahead
for two or three days is a simple task.
Mondays luncheon should exhaust
Sunday left-overs, and Mondays din
ner can be arranged with fresh sup
plies. If good sized roast is ordered
and there is certain to be meat left
over plan to use tnlS IN crOQuetCeS OF
meat pastry or in some appetiZing and
thoroughly disguised dish for Wednes-
days dinner-ordering fish or some
new meat for Tuesday. In day-to-day
ordering one is tempted on seeing the
remains of last nights dinner in the
refrigerator to say. "Oh, warm it up
for tonight" This is SO much easier
than planning and ordering anew. But
when menus are made out in advance
there is no such temptation.
When you have written your menus
make a separate list of things to be
ordered each day-the staple supplies
needed, as salt, -four etc, which may
be ordered at once, and the vegeta bles
and salads. which should be ordered If
possible on the day they are to be
used. With these two lists at hand
there is no excuse for forgetfulness or
mismanagement.
In very small households, where
luncheon is not meal of Importance,
there is naturally temptation not to
plan ahead for it. but to use at the
last moment whatever may be on hand.
Here. again, the written menu helps
the housewife. for she will invariab bly,
| plan much better and more whole

CARE OF THE SKIN.

Different skins need different meth
DDS of dealing with them in the way of
external beautifying, but all efforts
begin by clearing the pores daily of
dirt and oil. 4 steam face bath taken
daily for two weeks will do much to-
ward this end for the most clogged
skin
Fill the largest washbowl you can
get with boiling water. and enveloping
the head with a thick bath towel,
which should go over the bowl as well.
lean over this for ten or fifteen min
utes. If the time seems long. begin
with a fve-minute steam, increasing
it every day till half hour is reached.
tablespoonful of dry sulphur in the
water will facilitate cleansing. and
of course, all the face must be washed
with soap before beginning the steam
bath. Take the steam at night or when
it is possible to remain indoors three
hours after it. The sudden shock pro-
duced by chill airs Immediately after
steamng, or even an ordinary face
wash, is bad-the air stopping the cir
culation and sometimes causing serious
disorders.
Finally. remember that for every SOFT
of inactive skin a gentle massage after
the bathing is invaluable. Every ex-
ternal treatment of the skin, worth
water and massage.
And now a special word or two about
freckles:
Massage, use a skin invigorator.
freckle lotion, and-if you have done
all the foregoing things-leave the rest
to providence. Freckles are rather
hard to Danish, and the most efficient
b1eaches. with their deadly poisons,
are too unsafe to put in girl hands or
even the hands of the average mother
However, here is freckle lotion COM

Glycerin NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. ounces

Apply several times daily with SOFT
cloth. pouring the lotion as needed into
a saucer. This is cleanly precaut1on
to observe with all skin lotions.
If after several applications the SKIN
is much irritated. go a night or two
without the lotion, using soothlns
cold cream instead.
A good invigorant for inactive SKINS,
especially those which are merely thlck
and dull, may be made from the fol-
lowing:

Put all together in porcelain-lned
saucepan and let the mixture thinner

giving the skin a bath with warm
water and almond meal or soap For
skins easily irritated almond meal is
a safe cleanser.

Luncheon Egg Dishes.

Now that eggs are cheap 1t is well to
use them freely in the luncheon menu
There are many egg recipes that make
oeilc1ous luncheon dishes. The break
fast egg is apt to be served with a tire
some absence of variety. as this is a
meal that must be prepared quickly
but In preparing luncheon the excuse
is not valid.
Golden cream toast is an attractive
dish, and is easily prepared. Cut bread
INTO even pieces: toast and butter the
pieces and moisten them with hot
water. Boil six eggs hard. Separate
the whites from the yolks: chop the
whites and press yo1ks through a COL
ander. Make white sauce of one ia
blespoon of -four and one tablespoon
OF butter cooked together, and cup OF
cream or milk added. When this is
thickened, add the chopped whites. and
season with pepper and salt. Spread
this mixture on slices of toast and COW
er the top with the mashed yolks
Serve very hot.
NODDED HAM AND EGGs-Run a
cup of boiled ham through the meat
chopper. Moisten it with white sauce
and a raw egg to a paste. Cover the
bottom of individual egg dishes with
this mixture. Break an egg in the
center of each dish and poach in the
oven for eight or ten minute. Garnish
each dish with parsley.
EGGS AND RICE.-Boil some eggs
hard and cut them into halves. Make
ring form of boiled rice; fill the cen
ter with the eggs. and pour over them
a thick white sauce. Sprinkle the
top with bread crumbs and CRATE over
all thick layer of cheese. Moisten the
top with melted butter, or put little
dots of butter over the top, and place
the dish in the oven to brown. Dc
not let this stand before serving. 1t
should be served very hot. as soon as
the cheese has set and is slightly
Drowned.
Eggs faurore is very popular
French dish, in which can be used left
over scraps of vegetables. mushrooms
chopped meat, etc.
Press the yolks of several hard
boiled eggs through a colander. Cut
the whites into dice, mix them with a
thin white sauce and turn them into
a baking dish. Sprinkle over this a
layer of chopped mushrooms. aspara-
gus. spinach or any vegetable you
wish to use. Cover the top with the
mashed yolks, and dot it with small
bits of butter.
This should be placed in the oven
long enough to heat. but not to brown
