We played ir the pasture. which was
sometimes Robinson Crusoe's desert

Middle Ages. We sailed in old boxes
down the raging stream Of the

cause they. were being, INDUCED with
too many ready-made toys instead Of
using their imaginations to create
an embargo on what our mountain
friends call "store-bought" playthings.
Now that my daughter is grown and
has a hoy of her own she Is facing
the same problem. She has a wide
awake, active boy who showed the
tendency to destruction our mothers
are complaining Of. We talked the
matter over and decided he was to
have no toys. He was told he could
borrow the hammer and use some
nails from the tool chest whenever he
wanted to make something. and with
much zest he nailed strips Of kindling
together to fashion chairs. so-called.
or pigeons. or whatever he CHANGED
to think he was making.
He was given paper and round
pointed scissors. color crayons. water
color paints, tools. anything out of
which he can make something for
himself, but never a ready-made me-
chanical toy which can serve no pur-
pose but to be pulled to pieces to see
what makes 1t go.
Although he is now only six years
old he recently has made himself a
chair, a bit rickety, it Is true, but
one in which he sits with extreme
satisfaction and we never laugh at
his chair. nor at any of the things he
makes.
I think If all Of you who have been
worried BY the destructive tendencies
of your children would try this plan
you would have the same results. And

money on him-too much, 1 tell her.
She is always giving him the most
expensive things-engines that go by

have works inside of them. and all
such things-but he never keeps them

THE SUMMER SOUP POT.

The summer soup pot differs from the
| winter soup pot because the summer one
has more vegetables within it. With
the wealth Of vegetables that We have
from now on. it is possible to supply the
| table once a day with soup without
spending a cent for soup bones or meat
| in the whole week
To begin with, there arc the cream
vegetable soups, of many kinds. Each
Of these is made Of a PURGE of the cook
ed vegetable mixed with about an equal
amount of thickened milk. Tomatoes,
potatoes. spinach. corn, peas. lettuce and
young carrots all make delicious cream
soups.
Then there are the soups made Of vege-
tables and meat stock combined. For
these, such bones and trimmings of
meats as you may have on hand serve
to give the necessary meat flavor.
Here Is the foundation for a vegetable
soup that changes as the vegetables in
your leftover larder change: Dice two
onions and a carrot and brown them in
drippings. Turn them into a soup pot
and add bones and meat trimmings, veg
etables and two or three quarts of water.
a good combination Of vegetables Is a
pint Of tomatoes, stewed. a cupful Of
creamed carrots. a raw potato sliced.
and some sprigs Of parsley. Another
good combination is two cupfuls Of peas.
a kohl rabi diced. a green pepper sliced.
and tomatoes, peas. beans, carrots and
onions, all simmered gently together.
Live another good combination. Simmer
these vegetable soups for three or four
hours, then strain. and serve with moo
dies. or with diced cooked vegetables
diced carrots or potatoes, or sliced
string beans and whole peas. Add a lit
tie butter and -four occasionally to one
of these soups. strained. and serve In
cups with crisp croutons Drowned in the
oven.
Then there are pea and bean soups. Of
the dried forms of these vegetables. to
be served occasionally on chilly summer
days. Whenever you have a ham bone
ha- make either one of these soups.
The ham bone. cooked with the vege-
tables. gives delicious flavor. Strain
when the peas or beans are tender, and
rub through a wire sieve II no ham
bone is on hand, use bacon. cooking 1t
with the peas or beans. to give the de-
sired flavor.

Friday, July o, 1915.
Uranus is in a place held as exceeding

helpful and Neptune Is adverse.
Again troubles on the high seas threat

ton, but the seers declare that, while
war clouds may gather. only good Is in
dictated for the United States.
There is a warning, however. to con-
serve resources as the fall and winter
will be exceedingly crucial
Farmers are subject to government
that is most fortunate. While heavy
losses to certain crops are foreshadoweo
large profits are predicted. The Eastern
States will be especially fortunate.
Under the strong sway Of Uranus to.
day travel for business Is particularly
lucky, it is believed.
Increased interest in religious and phil.
osophical subjects is probable and the
rise of speakers and revivalists as well
as the vogue of teachers Of strange cults
again is indicated.
The configuration gives promise Of ex.
