Yawnina as a stimuIant.


DR.. Naegeli. professor of medi-
cine at Liege university, COM
mends the practice Of yawning
as a physical reviver. A good
yawn, the professor maintains, is
excellent for the lungs and for
all the breathing organs as well.
But there is an art in yawning,
he says, just as there is an art
in breathing. Every yawn should
be as deep as possible. so as to
bring all the muscles of the
throat and chest into action, and
also to fill the lungs with a cur
rent Of fresh air. DR.. Naegeli
has known Of many cases in
which a sore throat has been al
leviated by persistent yawning.

Our Expensive Shopping.
BY Francis Marshall.

BY Francis Marshall.
Copyright. 1916. by the Mcclure Newspa-
per Syndicate.)
The cost of living continues to rise,
and although we know that high
prices generally indicate prosperity
nevertheless we all wish that our pen
MES went farther and bought more
But much of our complaint against
the high cost of living is unjust. We
should really criticize ourselves For
1t Is our own expensive method of liv-
ing that is at fault. We have left the
ways of our forefathers and we no
longer truly Ike TO economiZe.
Just take cur shopping as an evil
dence of the truth of this fact
Suppose you start out in the morn
ing to do half a dozen little errands
First you buy mixing bowl that
costs twenty five cents. and you ask
that it be sent home. There is moth
ing else in the same store that you
wish, so you buy a dollar pair of
gloves in another store, and ask that
they be sent Then you buy a new
blouse for two dollars and have that
sent, and from another shop you have
a jar of marmalade and whitewash
brush sent.
The blouse comes in a pasteboard
box, and the gloves come wrapped in
tissue paper and then in a box. The
cheap mixing bowl is wrapped in ex-
celsior and stout brown paper. and so
is the marmalade. while the white
wash brush is as carefully protected
with corrugated pasteboard as a bot
tie of rare wine would be.
Now all this delivery service costs,
and costs heavily. And yet we de-
mand it.
The same cause contributes to the
high price of food. In some Of the big
cities there are big markets from
which there are no deliveries. There
are some times delivery wagons, in the
neighborhood which will deliver your
wares for a stated tariff. There are
also small boys on hand to carry your
purchases. Many women, however,
carry their purchases home in a mar
ket basket. in an automobile. or by
proxy. have their maids carry them.
At these markets. of course, prices are
cheaper and the women who take
home their own purchases reap the
benefit Of the low prices.
A little while ago one housewife
with her eyes open for ways Of saving
money suggested that a contributing
cause of the shockingly high price of
milk in the cities is the cost of deliv-
cry. Her suggestion was that in the
cities. where there Is a grocery store
on every corner the proper method
would be for each housekeeper to or
der milk sent with the regular grocery
order. In such way she might save
money.

Cereal Sense.
RY Fran

BY Frances Marshall.
Copyright, 1916, by the Mcclure Newspa-
perer Syndicate.)
It is said that surprisingly few of US
eat cereals enough to make them Of
any real value to AS. We are a nation
that. on the whole, likes the lighter.
daintier food: but nevertheless we eat
enough cereals so that we ought to
know how to make the most OF them.
To begin with. all cereals must be
thoroughly cooked to be at their best
II IL not exaggerating things to say
that most cereal is served no more
than half cooked. According to the
best authorities most cereals should
be cooked at least three or four hours.
and some twice that time. Even those
that are supposed to be partly steam
cooked when we buy them are, in
reality. much more healthful If cooked
slowly for q couple of hours. And If
you make the experiment you will find
that the longer cooking adds much to
flavor and deliciousness.
This long cooking may be accom-
plished In a fireless cooker. The
cereal should be prepared in the eve-
ming and put in the cooker to remain
there over night. Then in the morn
ing the water around it should be re-
heated so that the cereal will surely
be hot.
II there Is no drelesp cooker, cereal
should be cooked in q double boiler Of
some sort. If there is none available,
one pail inside Of another will answer,
or an earthern crock in a pan of water
Cereal can also be cooked in an
earthen crock placed in the oven. and
if there is a coal fire going this meth
cd of cooking is an economy. When a
gas stove is used, this method is only
economical when the oven is lighted,
anyway, for some other cooking.
Always measure cereal accurately.
Much unpalatable cereal is the result
of inaccurate measuring. It is q good
plan to have two cups on hand, one for
measuring water, one for cereal. For
II you first measure water and then
cereal, the cereal is almost sure to be
too wet, because so much of it remains
in the cup.
Another thing to remember is not to
let the water boil away. Add the
cereal as soon as the water is actively
boiling, or else it will be too dry, be-
cause of the water.
Sugar. according to the best au-
thories, should not be eaten with
cereal. A sweet fruit juice can be
eaten with it, if you like it. Dates or
prunes can be added to it. And al
ways plenty of sweet cream or rich
milk can safely be taken with it.
Remember that cereal is a heavy
food and teach children to eat it slow
ly enough to masticate it thoroughly,
in order that they may thus prepare it
