sleep in than cotton sheets, and if the tempera-
ture requires it outing flannel night gar

Many people think that it is sign Of weak.

but why should the heat of the body be used I'D
to make an outdoor bed warm? It is more

Portable at once. Best Of all is the practice of
keeping bedding and mattress in a warm room
all day and making up the outdoor bed Just
before retiring. There is no advantage in
shivering. What we are after is cool, fresh
air. A bed chilled by standing all day in the
freezing air serves no purpose Of health
Outside or indoor beds should be thoroughly
aired each morning, mattresses frequently
summed and beaten, and pillows stripped of
their cases and hung in the sunshine. It Is
not unusual to come across pillows which have
been in use for years, with no other sanitary
precaution than the changing of the pillow
cases. Occasionally feathers should be reno
waited ard pillow tickngs washed. Frequent
airing and summing are important factors in
keeping pillows healthy.

Peaceful, refreshing sleep is impossible with

apples. removing any worm spots or bruises
Do not peel or core Instead, cut the apples up
into small pieces, add a cupful Of water or
less, cover tight and cook with as little heat as
will keep the boiling point.
When the apples are stewed to pulp press
through a strainer or sieve Nothing should
remain in the sieve but the seeds and cores ana
the pulp should be smooth.

Bv EMMA GARY WALLACE.

INVESTIGATION has recently been made by
the National Council of Education and the
American Medical Association, which re-
veals the startling fact that the physical condi-
ton of children in the country is inferior to
that of little people in the crowded cities. This
decision is the result of large amount Of sta
tistics taken from both places.
There are several reasons why the child in
the country is at a disadvantage. He has not
had careful medical inspection as the city
child has. Country school houses and their ac-
companying outhouses frequently are unsani-
tary, and the principles Of health are not al
ways observed in the home.
One Of the main factors in building up
strong, healthy childhood is plenty Of sleep;
but if this sleep is taken in i'll ventilated
rooms the benefit derived from it is mate
rally lessened.
It is not a difficult matter to build sleeping
porch or TO curtain off room enough on another
porch or veranda for a bed or cot. II is not
desirable to have the outside sleeping room en-
trely open to the weather, especially in storms.
Canvas awnings firmly fastened at the top and
arranged on pulleys so they can be drawn up
and down, should be provided to keep 6ut dust,
rain or snow.
II open air sleeping is begun in the summer,
it may be continued until late in the fall, or
possibly all winter whereas it would be impos-
sbe to begin sleeping out with any degree of
comfort after the season is well advanced.
Avoid heavy bed clothing. either in the house
or on the outdoor bed, as these tire the sleeper
and really are not needed for comfort. The
right kind of light coverings are warmer than

apple added to the pulp at the time it is re-
turned TO the stove after the addition Of the
sugar Marmalade needs long, slow boiling.
RUSSIAN RELISH.
Almost any fresh vegetable or fruit may be
used in making this dish. There should be at
least five different kinds. For instance in the
early spring watercress will supply the green
color; later in the summer string beans pre-
viously boiled, will supply the necessary green,
or a small head Of tender young cabbage may
be minced. It is necessary that attention be
paid to the appearance as well as to the taste.
There should always be one red vegetable, even
IL il must be slice Of pimento. There should
always be something yellow or white and Of
course. green. The bulk of the relish may be
made Of any of the following:
Apple. celery. onion, corn (Which must be
fresh and previously boiled), peas, cold (Which
also have been boiled, firm tomatoes, snap
beans. green peppers, small carrots, cucumbers
pears, peaches
Care always should be taken that one green
vecotable and one red vegetable shall be used
with the other light vegetables, and all must
be well chilled.
DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING.
Use a choppng board and a well sharpened

chopped sweet red pepper, or little sprinkling
of paprika, on top.
DELECTABLE PATTIES.
Use the recipe for thin biscuits and take a
very small cutter or, for the want of that, a
silver knife can be used, or a fork, to cut the
centre out of the top crust Of a biscuit. This
leaves a little Of the top around the edges and
the entire bottom crust. In the cavity thus
formed drop SOME of the following mixture.
Sprinkle with few crumbs and a busting Of
grated cheese or piece of butter. Stand in the
hot oven until all is nicely brown. Serve
very hot.
THREE FILINGS FOR THE PATTIES.
II there should be left from dinner a small
piece Of fresh fish, mash it fine with silver
fork, add teaspoonful, or more, of onion juice,
a little olive oil and minced olive. Pile this
high out of the biscuit, fully half an inch
higher than the top crust
Another good mixture is to use small piece
of calf's liver Put in saucepan with an
onion piece Of garlic, piece of bay leaf and
boil until tender. When it Is quite done and
the mixture is all boiled back into the liver
(but the liver should not be allowed TO brown,
reduce this liver to paste, by MASKING smooth,
using olive oil or cream and seasoning highly
with salt and pepper.
Dreamed oysters may be substituted for
either Of the above If oysters are preferred.
In every instance use enough salt and pepper.
Butter should always be put on top before it
is placed in the oven. One biscuit for each
person is the usual allowance. These may be
served as hors d'9uUres.
THIN BISCUITS.
For family of four-provided, of course,
there is no half-grown boy in the family-a
pint of -four may be found sufficient
Sft in a bowl, add one-half teaspoonfu salt,
two and one-half teaspoonfuls Of baking pow
der. stirring with steel fork or silver one,
but on no account using the hands. Press into
the -four a tablespoonful OF cold lard. The
tablespoon should be fill of lard; in other
words, piece Of lard. fully as large as hens
egg should be shredded into the -four. This is
easily and quickly accomplished by scraping
with the fork with a sideways twist of the
hand against the lard. This will bring thin
shavings Of lard all through the -four.
AS soon as this is acconplished-which
should take much less time than it takes to
tell how to do it--wet the -four with milk into
a stiff dough, so stiff that there is no difficulty
in getting it all to adhere TO the fork, turn onto
a well Toured board, roll very thin--no more
than quarter of inch in thickness-and
cut with biscuit cutter.
Place on a fat iron pan that has not been
CREASED or Toured. When the oven is hot put
the biscuits on the bottom until well Drowned,
then put on the top slide so as to brown the
top.
The entire baking of these biscuits should
not take over five or six minutes, provided, Of
course the oven is what is called good, brisk
oven"

SWEET BUTTER.
The great difficulty Of obtaining sweet butter
led me 10 experiment with a pint Of thick
cream and quart preserve jar
Scald the preserve jar well, fit a new rubber
to the top, pour in the cream, which should
have stood for a couple Of hours in the kitchen,
although not necessarily near the stove-the
temperature Of the cream should be about that
Of the ROOM shake the jar regularly and ener-
getically for perhaps five minutes. II by then
butter has not "come" use Dover beater
which is small enough TO slip inside the jar
After beating for a minute or two remove
the egg beater, screw on the top and shake
the can. In a few minutes you will have

not be torn lut cut sharply into small pieces.
It is wise to leave the dressing Of this relish
until the last moment, as salt and vinegar nat
urally draw the juices from the fruits and
vegetables. | have found it good practice to
stand small fine wire strainer over a bowl;
into the straner pour the chopped vegetables
and stand in the cebox until ready to serve.
The dressing is also kept in the lcebox until
ready for use. In this way the relish is not
at all watery. but firm and cold.
DRESSING.
One part best French mustard, three parts
best olive oil and three parts thick cream. Stir
for minute until we'll mixed, season very
highly with pepper, salt and paprika This
dressing is delicious on cold fish, chicken
salad, fruit salad or, in fact, as a general sub
stitute for mayonnase, and will keep indef-
nitely on ice.
EGGS WITH ANCHOVY SAUCE.
At most delicatessen shops or large grocery
stores may be bought tiny little cans of an
chovy paste. These SELL as rule, for 10 cents
apiece.
spoonful of butter and one tablespoonful Of
-four, heoped high. When thoroughly blended,
add one cupful of milk and the contents of the
tiny can of anchOvy paste.
When the sauce has boiled up remove it from
the fire, stir until very smooth and pour it
over hard boiled eggs that have been shelled,
cut in half and laid face down on the plate on
which they are to be served. Pour the sauce
over the eggs evenly, sprinkle with little
finely chopped parsley or celery and dust with
paprika.
This is a wonderful dish for a late supper,
and served with cold beer and thin slices Of rye
bread will be found pleasant change from the
usual"
For luncheon, as an entree, it should be
served hot and then the sauce should be poured
in an individual casserole or, should this not
be handy, in baking dish. Fresh eggs, care
fully opened, are dropped in this hot sauce and
a little cheese grated over the top, and paprika,
and the whole stood in very hot oven long
enough to "set" the egg. This may be served
as course by itself with thin biscuits.
CREAM CHEESE.
In the country it is natural to have plenty Of
milk, cream and curd, but even in the city 1t
is quite easy to have cream cheese such as is
served at the Dover House by buying cake
of Phladelp hia cream cheese and a half pint of
double cream.
Neither should be very cold as it is difficult
to incorporate the cream with the cream cheese
if chilled and hard.
Use a silver fork to break the cream cheese
against the side Of quart bowl. Gradually
work all the cream into the cheese beating as
little as possble instead of beating mash the
cheese and cream together with fork, add a
little salt and some paprika.
When all is smooth stand the bowl in the ice
box for an hour or so. Serve with chives
minced fine, little minced parsley and some
