Selection Of Fresh Food

At all times we should be careful
to select good, fresh food, unless we
want our household to be in danger
Of ptomaine poisoning; but in hot
weather we must redouble our vigil
lance.
1t is most important that fish.
should be fresh, and you will know
that it is If the eyes are prominent
and full and the pupils dark. This,
however, is not an infallible test, as
the eyes become gray and shrunken
long before the fish is unfit for food.
The gills should be red, not gray,
white or greenish, and the scales
should be firm, and bright and not
easily rubbed off. Beware OF the fish
that is soft and flabby to the touch
and comes easily away from the bone,
for most certainly it is not as fresh
as it might be.
Another test is to hold the fish be-
tween the finger and thumb and press
it gently. If the flesh parts easily it
is not sound.
The tail of fresh lobster always
springs back when pulled and stale
one is always given away by its smell.
The naip joints Of the crab should
be stiff when bent. If the claws feel
sticky, you will know that it far from
fresh.
Great care must be taken in select
ing oysters. They must be alive when
opened, and the she'll of healthy
oyster is always very tightly closed.
II the she'll is slightly open and does
not close at once when touched, it
means that the oyster is dead. Good
oysters, when first opened, should be
round in shape and OF creamy color.
Choosing chickens is another task
that requires care. The eyes OF a
fresh chicken should be bright and
prominent, and the feet limp, moist
and pliable. The flesh should be firm
and plump and the skin clean and
white.
When the chicken is decomposing,
the flesh becomes dark and greenish,
the feet hard, stiff and dry and the
eyes sunken and dull. -
Healthy wild ducks have black feet
Any duck with soft plant legs and
feet, bright prominent eyes, and fairly
firm flesh is in prime condition. Stale
ducks have stiff, dry feet, sunken eyes,
flabby flesh, discoiored necks, and a
greenish tint over the abdomen.
Meat wants great deal Of choos-
ing. Good meat should be firm to
the touch. and should show distinctly
the branching veins. Beef or mutton
should be a deep rose color, and the
fat a rich cream. If the fat is hard
and skinny, it shows that the animal
was old and tough.
The best veal is of pale color,
and its kidney is enclosed in firm,
white fat.

All the world loves picnic, but
there is nothing more disappointing
than to open lunch backet and find
everything squashed and messy. With
a little care, however, this need never
happen. Sandwiches wrapped in a
damp napkin will always be the piece
de resistance Of any picnic basket
Oranges, apples or tomatoes may be
scooped out and filled with fruit or
vegetable salad, and then tops tied
on with ribbon or fastened on with
gelatine. Celery may be filled with
cream cheese or peanut butter and
wrapped in waxed paper. Hard rolls
may have the soft part removed and
be filled with chicken or tuna fish
salad.
Cake in Pie Crust.
A delicious picnic cake may be made
by lining pastry pans with pie crust
and then filing them with cake
batter and baking them. They are
much less apt to crush in the packing
than the ordinary little cupcakes, and
children love them.
Or loaf cake may be baked in a
Tin cracker box. If this is done do
not take it from the box. just ice
it and put on the cover and il will
arrive in perfect condition.
Cream cakes are easily packed A
jar Of cream filing can be carried or
one Of creamed chicken il there is any
way to heat it. The puffs filled with
this will be great favorites.
Iced tea can be made Of cold water
as well as Of hot. Simply measure
the tea into an earthen dish, pour
over it the cold water, cover and
let stand for an hour. One never
gets the slightest bitter taste in tea
made this way. The lemon juice
mixed with the sugar may be car
ried in a bottle.
It is good plan, especially II there
are children in the party, to take in
the basket one OF those tiny first-aid
boxes that are sold at all the drug
stores for Is cents. They arc four
or five inches square, and contain a
roll Of bandage, some absorbent cot
ton. strip Of adhesive plaster, tube
| Of antiseptic ointment and several
| other small firstlaid necessities.
No Dishes to Carry Home.
There is no need Of taking along
dishes that have to be washed and
/ carried about after lunch. One can
buy for 10 cents package containing
two large plates, two sixrineh plates
| for salad, or dessert, two olive dishes,
| two cups, two paper spoons and four
paper napkins These can be thrown
sway when one is through with them,
and, Of course, they are less bulky and
much lighter to carry.

the thoughtful housewife will contrive
to use vegetables as often as possible,

Thirsty Babies
By Eff. NJ

II seldom occurs to mothers and
nurses that baby needs any other
liquid than its ordinary diet contains
Hence one of the commonest suffer-
ings Of infants is that of thirst.
In hot weather particularly this is
cause Of great deal of,the digestive
troubles from which young children
suffer.
Every baby over month old will
be the better for little plain water
between meals. The water should be
boiled and then let cool; keep it in a
covered vessel and in a clean, cool
place. Scald the vessel before putting
in the drinking water.
A teaspoonful of cold or slightly
warmed water may be given several
times a day to child Of one or two
months; this quantity may be in
creased to two teaspoonfuls as the
child grows older.
Instead of plain water one may give
barley water or toast water. Fruit
juice is also very wholesome for young
children over two or three months old
n IedspOUHIul VI SlidlllCu eIdpS JulSC
or orange juice, slightly sweetened,
may be given twice day with excel
lent results.
Another good way to give fruit to
young children is to roast ripe APP
pie, we'll mash a portion Of the pulp,
mix it with little cream, and give a
teaspoonful Of the mixture once or
twice day.s
For children OF an age when they
have begun to run about good sup
ply Of water is absolutely essential
And as they grow older there should
be no stinting Of liquid In summer
and, indeed, throughout the year---a
child OF three or four years, and
thence onward, should be let drink as
much plain water as il desires.
Take care that the water is pure,
+ that it Is not iced or very cold, that
the child does not drink Immediately
after violent exercise or when over
heated, that he does not gulp down a
large quantity rapidly; and, having
taken these precautions, let him drink
freely Whenever he wants to drink.

Guimpes have full sleeves. to show un-
der the short bell sleeves Of the dress.
Skirts which show voluminous half

With suits Of dark or neutral colors It
Is advisable to wear bright-colored

Things Worth
Knowing

Things which will save time and
make work much easier in the sew
ing room are good steady sewing
table with brass-headed tacks driven
in the side to indicate yard length; a
perforated wheel, pencils and chalk
for marking; carbon paper for trans
ferring; remnant box, large PIN
cushion full of pins attached to the
corner OF the cutting table, and an
other cushion holding safety-pins.
"Odors end here" is the rule of
charcoal. If the charcoal is made red
hot, and then cooled before using, its
virtues are increased.
Do not forget to gather the rose
leaves for filling the couch and porch
pillows. Save them from bouquets
Their delicate perfume is delightful.
Prunes hidden in a meringue, the
meringue Drowned in the oven, make
delicious dessert.
The newest dish-drying rack is
made of wood, two rows of tall sticks
in narrow, gutterlike wooden tray.
You place this ON the draining board
of the sink or on a waiter and do
away with the rinsing dishpan alto
gether.
1t is remarkable in how many ways
the drudgery of dishwashing has been
done away with in new devices Il
cannot help the alliteration). One Of
the new machines that washes and
dries dishes without the aid of dish
cloth and towel is operated either by
a hand-lever or a small motor. The
dishes are placed in cylindrical con-
tainer which has a diameter of about
two feet, funnel shaped at the bot
tom and-having tightly-fitted cover
to prevent the escape of steam. The
dishes are scraped free Of food, placed
| in the racks provided for the various
fable pieces, the hot water poured on,
| first for washing, then for rinsing pur-
poses, the waters drained off and the
dishes permitted TO dry within the
machine.

Possibly this young man hesitates to call
on you for the reason you suggest--that
he has no money to spend in offering you
attentions. If you really feel sure Of his

quite frankly that you miss his calls. Don't
attempt to force any confidence in regard
to his financial situation. but try to show
him by your attitude that you are not mer-

the fact that persons supposed to be

ferring to use the general delivery in
stead of the carrier service.
Minors are not permitted to re-
