Eggs, cheese, fish, in combination
with various vegetables served in the
place Of meat are most attractive and
satisfying salads.
Some vegetables are richer in the
prOteid element than others; peas,
beans and lentils are the nearest to
meat of any vegetable.
Roquefort SaIad.-Prepare crisp
head lettuce and arrange on individ-
ual plates. Prepare a salad dressing
Of a tablespoonful of vinegar to three
Of oil, a half teaspOonful of salt,
few dashes Of red pepper; doubling
this portion as needed. Cream a
tablespoonful Of roquefort cheese and
add to the dressing, beaten well to
blend, with an egg beater.
Cheese Jelly SaIad.-Mix half cup
full Of good favored cheese with a cup
full of whipped cream; add salt and
pepper to season and a teaspOonful
Of gelatin dissolved in three-fOurths
Of a cupful of water. Mold in one
large or in individual molds. Cover
each mold with grated cheese when 1t
begins to harden. Serve with French
dressing to which grated cheese has
been added, as well as a tablespoon
full Of catchup.
Nearly all fruits have acids and
salts in solution which are cooling,
and that have tonic properties. A
fruit salad is a most gratifying one
to serve on hot day; 1t serves as a
salad and as a dessert. With the ad-
dition of a few nuts 1t will also be
sufficiently nOurishing.
Slice tomatoes, small ones, in
halves, sprinkle with chopped, green
peppers and onion and serve with
French dressing.

 AWAkEs.

Do you know that young folks knew good ministers as readily as do older people?
 The children go to church and come home without saying anything about the minister because the minister has not said anything for or about them. The best minister is the one who al- ways recognizes the value of little folks and acts as if any were worth saving and might sometime make use- Ftl and influential citizens.
 This is what Johnny had to say one day when he came home:
 "Oh, wasn't that good minister we had today?" said Johnny.
 f"Yes, very good. Which sermon did you like the best?" said the. mother. "Oh, I don't know. It wasn't the sermon altogether that mean.'
 ."What then?"
 .'Why he prayed for Sunday schools and boys so good; I never heard any one pray so much for boys. Most of them do not. That is why liked him."

WORK AND PLAY

Annie and Millie were the daughters of busy farmer. On that great farm not only the farmer but everyone else was busy as bee. everyone but the two small daughters. Busiest of all was the mother. with her housework. Robbie always tugging at her skirts. and the six months old baby.
 Why don't you put those children to work ?" the father would sometimes rather impatiently ask.
 Then the sweet, indulgent mother would reply that they did help her sometimes, and that it was easier to do the work than to show them. One brightA June morning the hired man drove up with load of empty barrels for use in the fall, when the. pota- toes that were then quietly growing, out of sight, under the ground would be placed in them and sent to market. Putting the barrels in front of the house he went to his work in the fields.
 Annie and Millie paid little atten- ton to this, because they were having a tea party on the porch with their dolls. Along with their own little ta- ble and tiny set of dishes, they had strawberries and sponge cake to eat.
 The dollies were behaving so well, and they were. having a most delight full time, when their father appeared. He looked at the barrels.
 That stupid John ,'' said he. He should have taken them to the barn.
 Then seeing the tea party, he said, Here, children. roll these barrels up to the barn. 1 will go ahead and fast en open the doors for you"
 What a change came over the pleas ant little faces! Before they had looked sweet enough to eat, much sweeter than the strawberries. Now they looked sour. sourer even than the berries before sugar was put on them. A x,nia 1oolxaH- af IMil1ie and MiIlia look- ed at Annie.

Christmas in Different Countries.

Every country has it's own way of celebrating Christmas.
 In Holland the children hang up their little wooden shoes behind the fireplace and in the morning when they get up they find the things they al ways want.
 I knew a little girl who came from Holland and she told me that Santa Claus likes little Dutch girls better what she wanted from Santa in Hol- land, but she never got what she want ed in America.
 In Alaska and other northern coun- tries where the snow falls so high that you can only see the chimney, it Is very different from that of Hol- land
 The women have to start their pre- parations for Christmas in the sum mer, because they cannot get out in winter. It is very hard to cook things in Alaska because generally the chim- neys get full of snow and the people Most of the things they have for their Christmas dinner is preserved. You would think it would be very easy to get Christmas trees in Alaska, but it is not so The men have to go many miles with their sleds for Christmas trees.
 Most of the dolls and toys, and. oth- CT tLsngs that we have Christmas are imported from different countries Many of these dolls are imported from the Black Forest of Germany. Thous- ands of these dolls and toys are sent here every year so the little children can enjoy the Christmas.

A Peaceful Scene.

The view from my window is peace ful and calm IS one looks upon the open meadows into the solitude of evening. The cattle have gone to rest Under the shady naples in the distant pasture. where the bubbling brook year after year flows undisturbed. It is here that the cattle get their water, always cool and refreshing.
 Through the further barway can be seen a small but we'll worn footpath leading to the nearby woods, where many a small boy has been for nuts.
 Beyond the wall one might notice the tiny rustic bridge crossing the stream
 Hanging from one of the large oaks in the glade on the further side are swings where the children enjoy many vacation days by the brookside.
 Above all, the sparkling stars and the moon, shining in the peaceful blue sky. which succeeds the golden glow of sunset, search the meadows in vain, for the outdoor world is deso- late and still, save for, the cricl1ets nnonotonous song in the rustling bush- es

The Spirit of Christmas.

The big arch-lights f1ickered and sent their penetrating rays through the falling Snowf1akeS. People laden down with boxes and bundles hurried to and fro. Housewives with shopping bags full of provisions for the next days dinner, men. their arms full of toys and ornaments for the tree which was to delight their kiddies on the morrow, visitors hastening to the homes of friends for the holidays, all mingled together.
 Some stopped to gaze with admira- tion at the numerous pretty things displayed in the windows, others ex- changed a few words with friends whom they chanced to meet, while more. anxious to get home, jumped aboard crowded street cars or stepped into waiting autos.

 The stores were crowded, people pushing and jostling one another in their excitement. As the clock tolled the passing hours the crowd gradually disappeared, the stores were closed and tired shopgirls, who had borne with patience the Christmas rush has, tened to catch the car home.
 Far, far above the highest building in the city stood the Spirit of Christ mas, her long, flowing robe decorated with sprigs of holly. with her golden hair hanging over her shoulders. She looked below; the great city which had been the centre of excitement a moment before was shrouded in dark

Marsuerits's Indoor Flower Garden.

Dear Uncle Jed: I would love to tell you about our indoor flower garden. It is about foruteen feet square. Our house is facing directly north and south. This room is on the south side. The roof is partly covered with glass. The side facing the south has three windows and glass door.
 Two sides are filled with shelves. On these shelves are flowers, such as beautiful begonias Of various kinds, cactus, fuchsias, geraniurns; near the center of this room is a large white box, the outside being covered with white draperies, which is nearly cov- cred with green vines, this being filled with vines, ferns, prirnroses and vari- ous other kinds of flowers, which makes very pretty centerpiece. Some
 of these are my very own which take care of.
 Scattered about the room are stands
 urns which also are filled with be-
 sonias and vines creeping down tow ards the floor.
 We also have a very large century plant which I hope to see bloom some day. If do not, hope my grand children will.
 When the snow and winds are blow ing outside, to enter this room reminds one of fairyland or some tropical re- zion, making one forget the dreary winds outside.

How l Raised My Onions.

This year I raised onions in my garden. I selected a piece of rich ground about thirty-four feet long and twenty -four feet wide. Then l bought some good yellow onion seeds to be ready for planting.
 Next I prepared my seed very care fully. I did not use a horse to blow the land because it was a small piece. I took a shovel and spaded up the ground with it. I then took an iron rake and smoothed the ground until it was level all over. Then I took a piece of twine and placed it very straight and as long as I wanted the rows to be. Then I made the rows fourteen inches apart and about one fourth of an inch deep.
 Then I planted the seeds in every row. I had to use about two and one half ounces. I covered the seeds with about one-fourth of an inch of fine soil. When this was done I waited until the onions had grown about two and ope-half inches high. Then it was time to weed them. I did this very carefully. But when the weeds grew too fast I had to hire my brothers to help me. I paid them by the hour.
 Sometimes I had trouble with my calf. He would go under or over the bars and walk all over the onions, but I was always lucky enough to dis cover him before he had done much damage.
 I had many visitors to see my gar den. My agriculture supervisor, MT.
 Storrs, and some others came to see it, and said it was growing well. But afterwards bad weather came and stopped it's growing. The only thing that spoiled my crop was the heavy rains that flooded the ground and beat down the onion tops. When it was time to harvest the onions, I pulled them and dried them on a fiat board near the house. When they were dried I shortened the stems. Then I took a bushel basket and meas ured them. They came to two and one-half bushels. I saved the small ones for home use. and sold one and one-half 5ushe1 of the large sized ones for three dollars.
 I selected five that were quite uni- form in size, shape and color to take to our school fair. Afterwards they were taken to tFIe fair at Springfield, Massachusetts.
 Next year if live on the farm I will try to plant more; and if the weather is good I expect to have much larg- CT crop.

My First Day in Camp.

Last April a group of boys decided to camp across the harbor from Ston- ington. My brother and were in the group. There was a colony of about five tents.
 On the first night the dogs started to bark and our dog joined in the mix up. I had to get up out of a warm bed and bring him back to our tent. imagine the other boys were sur prised when they found their provi- sion boxes empty the next morning.
 After breakfast we had some fun in the water. We had to go to Ston- ington for provisions and we had a drawing match to see who was going to row over to Stonington. We got back about half past eleven and start ed tQ cook dinner. The potatoes were not fried just right to suit me, so l peeled some potatoes and fried them hen l started to say that I was the best cook in the camp. All of a sud- ren l smelled something burning and ran to the stove and I found that the potatoes were burned. I would not eat them so our dog had to- When it came to washing and wip- ing the dishes. we had another draw ing watch since there was nobody in camp who leased to do it.
 That night we got initiated, as they called it. They blacked us up with the grease on the frying pans and then marched to the dock and threw us ov- erboard.
 After the initiation was over we sal on the bed and told stories. One boy who is colored, told a story about a rich man who was followed by rob- Der into a hotel and when they got in the room the robber shouted: Pack in the corner" Just then as a fitting climax to his story our light went out and everybody fell off the
