A Pastry Tin.

To prevent the fruit juice running over in the oven when making pies, sprinkle a little carbonate of soda over the fruit before the top crust is put on. This prevents the juice from running over and also lessens the acidity of the fruit, so that it will not require so much sugar to sweeten it.

 Milk is by far the most important food for children. If they object to taking it fresh and warm when it is so obtainable try them with cool milk.
 There are all sorts of devices used by mothers to get children to take milk. One that they will usually ac- cept willingly is milk through straws. A pretty glass or a fancy cup will often be the means of persuasion. A cooky or cracker with the milk will make the taking of it easier for some.
 Soft cooked or baked custards. jun kets and cornstarch puddings served with sugar and rich milk make an other method of serving milk.
 Eggs should be given at least every other day and dried fruits, like dates, i figs and raisins should be often in their diet Candy. if given after meals in small quantities, is rather help than a detriment, but eating candy before meals is a most reprehensible habit.
 If the children carry a lunch to school for the noon meal there should be some means for the serving of hot milk or chocolate. A hot drink is ab- solutely necessary during cold months, Apples. grapes or oranges are all good fruits and so are bananas, taken moderately, if we'll ripened.
 Begin with young children to serve sweet, nutty olive oil on green veg | etables, so that the habit will be formed in youth to enjoy the most 1 wholesome of all salad dressings. Carrots, onions and spinach should | often be served, as they free the body from many impurities. Spinach has | been we'll called the broom of the stomach" Green vegetables should be | given in abundance. as the child needs | the mineral salts which they contain. Children should never be given stimulants of tea or coffee, but hot | water and milk is a good hot drink. | Plenty of good, pure water and no | spices or pickles ought to keep the l little people well.

WAR NURSES ARE TOO
 PRETTY FOR DUTIES
Their Sentimental Leanings Are Detrimental to Needs of
 Hospital Work.

LONDON Jan. 2.-"Too sick to be- nursed today" a placard, said to have been placed over the bedstead of soldier wounded in the South African campaign, is much needed in British hospitals now according to the Ma tional Council of Trained Nurses. which has sent to Lord Kitchener a protest against the employment Of untrained and incompetent nurses. In aclUowledgement of the resolution, the Secretary of War asked the coun- cl to submit evidence in support of it's charges, and a report on the mat. ter is expected shortly.
 The professional trained nurses are complaining that young women of means and social influence, attracted by the sentimental side of nursing at the front, have stormed the hospitals and have in many cases obtained posi- tions notwithstanding that they knew nothing Of the work. "If Lord Kitch- ener had asked for 5O0OOO nurses to enlist for service instead of for 5OO,-

 Behind the lines of trenches runs a light railroad line for the purpose of bringing up ammunition and food and also, if necessary, endorsements of men to any point which might be menaced. Further provision for the conveyance of endorsements is al hand in the large number of automo biles of all kinds which can make the journey speedily from any one point to another, carrying groups of armed men.
 The existing forts also have been strengthened but now only serve as supporting points and depots for large bodies Of troops resting from their trench duty

WORK OF FORTIFYING PARIS AGAINST FOES
 TRANSFORMS CITY
Volunteers Have Complete Task of Surrounding the City With Trenches and Hidden Batter ieS in an Elaborate Scheme.

PARIS. Jan 2-The army of ex. cavators who early in September. be- gan to dig Paris in when a German siege was threatened, have completed their work.
 The General Confederation of Workers alone sent 5000 volunteers who provided their own digging tools and were merely recumpensed by a daily ration of food Thousands of Bel. gian refugees hunted from their own land have also assisted in the work.
 The city now lies in the center of am entrenched camp whose diameter is about SO miles and whose circum. ference is nearly 200 miles This is surrounded by row after row of trenches thoroughly covered i'm with logs and turf through which loop holes have been left for rifle fire. All of them communicate with each other and contain traverse banks of earth Co prevent them being infladed by in- fantrv or machine gun fire. Out be- yond them are rifle pits and barbed wire entanglements placed in an posi- tions where an attack might originate
 Sull other precautions have been taken in front of the advanced line of trenches by digging of deep ditches whose existence is hidden by a light covering of branches and turf making them invisible to approaching cavalry infantry or artillery, and forming veritable traps into which am attack ing force might fall a prey to the de- fender machine guns and rifles.
 The approaches to the trenches from the rear consist of subterranean galleries which permit the re.iefs to be made without any exposure of the men
 An along this front posts of obser- walton have been established. each of which is constantly occupied by at least three men provided with power ul field glasses and in direct tele- phonic communication with headquar ters and with the artillery batteries in the immediate vicinity The emplace- ments of these batteries are known only 10 tn headquarters staff and to
