Learned Lip Reading.

I saw d notice in a recent issue of a deaf woman, Mrs. A NJ. H.. who would like to learn lip reading. am deaf my self and can scarcely hear sound. have gradually lost my hearing. But somehow, thanks to our Heavenly Father. it has come natural to me 10 read lips. I cannot understand any other way. as l cannot hear the voice, but I am able to make my own living. If you will send me the address of Mrs A. NJ. H. will write to her and tell her what l know about lip reading, and if she has friends who have time they can help her 10 learn. It will take time and patience for her. but it will pay.
 M C."
 The address asked for was sent at once, and 1 hope most earnestly that the af- fiicted one may receive advice that will help her. Although EI c. did not give me permission to use her name. I shall put 1t on file. and it may be that she will consent to help a few others by her counsel If any one writes for this name and address, please send stamped and self-directed envelope fer reply and recollect to follow the same course if writing 10 NJ. C. for information about lip reading. Since she is self-supporting 1t Is not fair to put upon her the burden of answering letters and of paying post axe on them besides.

When salads are touched upon there is no end to the variety which may be achieved and not until one has made study of fish, meat. egg. vegetable, and fruit salads does one understand how great an assortment of these may be of fered to tempt the appetites of the fam fly and win them away from too much devotion to meat Fish should also be served frequently and eggs in some one of the scores of methods of cookery pos sible for them.
 Fresh vegetables in variety should be a matter of course upon the table in summer and when there are plenty of these the small stock of meat or other heavier food will be less criticised. Des- serts should be of fruit so far as pos sible or else of milk and eggs in whire or blanc manages or custards. chilled c. frozen. Hot desserts should be con- spicuous by their absence and except for an occasional fruit pie pastry should be barred from the bill of fare until the return of cold weather. In its place

WHAT TO EAT IN HOT WEATHER.

and fruit surprise, which do not demand richer ingredients to be good.
 The third meal of the day should be ar- ranged along the same lines as the sec ond, and, whether it be dinner or supper, may be pleasing without being too heavy or heating .ss When, soups are served. they should. be made with a. vegetable basis and either plain or with cream or milk. These are not only nutritious but more easily managed by the digestion than soups from meat stock.
 I have made reference to the advisabil- ity of keeping cool mentally as we'll as materially. In fact, the former assists in the latter. If there is ever a time when a woman should concentrate her energies on taking life easily it is in the summer. Then is the occasion to ponder upon what may be judiciously sighted and to put the result of one's meditations into effect.
 The sense of proportion. which I have always commended, has no more fruitful period of usefulness than in the summer. Always the question should be asked: " Do get enough out of this endeavor to make worth while the strength and time I put into it? |"
 For there are some things it is mistake to do too well. To quote that saying of Ruskin's to which have referred be- fore, the question at the last will not be X whether or not we have done thing a s we'll as it could possibly be done. but if it was worth what it cost in effort end attention. This is not cited correctly. but the gist of the sentiment is there. and it should be remembered by all those who take life hard and overwork themselves in season and out of season.
 The world will not come 10 an end nor will any one or any thing be injured if some of the rigorous rules for running the household are relaxed a little in the heated term. The housekeeper should strive to be patient with herself as well as with others. If she has any surplus energy. she should put it into restraining harsh words, strenuous arguments, and warm controversies. She should accus- tom herself to putting nearly every situ- ation or piece of work to the test: Is it worth while? What difference does 1t maker" If one looks at all matters for discussion from this standpoint, 1t is as- tonishing the result it will have in lower ing the mercury in one's mental and physical thermometer.
 There is little good in keeping cool without and becoming heated within. Hot weather has an irritating effect, upon many persons. It is hard to be amiaLle when one is in violent precipitation with stringy hair, dampened and dropping clothing, and a wilted appearance .gener- ally. The. knowledge that one is, not at ones best is depressing, and the hasty word comes readily in such conditions. Hence the reasonableness of avoiding oc- ;. casion for dispute and contradiction.
 If any one has better prescription for keeping cool, I would like to receive and print it for the benefit of others.

The breakfast in summer should begin with fruit. I do not forget that fresh fruit is not always easy to get l have been in remote country districts where bananas seemed to be the only fruit which could be procured the year through. and after while one wearies of these. Oranges when they can be purchased are small. sour, and unusually expensive, and grape fruit, pears, peaches. berries, and the like are not to be obtained until they ripen in the vi- cinity. Apples run out after a while and there is a long period of fruit famine.
 Then is the time to rely upon the con- tents of the cans that have been put up in the preceding season or to turn to the dried fruits which can be bought reasonably and made pleasing with lit- tie trouble. Apples. peaches, and pears can be canned; so can berries and rhu- barb. Evaporated apricots, peaches, ap- ples, prunes, figs, dates, and the like are all wholesome, and the system de- mands something of this sort in place
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-07-16

of the starchy, stodgy food with which many persons burden their stomachs at the first meal of the day.
 A saucer of stewed or fresh fruit, a portion of some light cereal other than oatmeal, which is likely to be too heat ing in warm weather slice of crisply broiled or fried bacon, boiled or poached or scrambled egg, piece of toast or brown or whole wheat bread and butter with cup of coffee or tea or a glass of milk will make sufficient breakfast for all except those who are to perform severe manual labor which will work off the heavy food they eat.
 Such repast should not be gulped down but eaten as slowly as circum- stances will permit. The school rush is not on. but those who are going out to do farm work must sometimes make haste with their morning meal All the more reason, then, that it should be well cooked. carefully chosen. and prop erly masticated.
 At noon a like consideration should be

three days. then be drained again ,d dried on clean towel. The stone crock. must be washed. the pickles put back in it. covered with fresh water, and left in this for twenty-four hours. A gallon of vinegar should be put on the range in {, preserving kettle, with cup of grant, lated sugar. two minced onions, an ounge each of celery and mustard seed. twenty cloves, and six blades of mace. Stir well until the sugar Is dissolved and let the vinegar boil for ten minutes. Stir up from the bottom and pour 1t over tue pickles in the jar. Cover tightly, stand in cool place, and leave for one week. At the end of the time pour off the vire- gar, put 1t over the fire. and b-rng ro a boil again. and then turn it back upot the pickles They should stand for six weeks before using. and arc better after even a longer time.

given to the luncheon or dinner. Such
 meats as pork, either fresh or salt, should be taken in great moderation or
 banished altogether from the bill of fare until cooler weather. They are not suitable foods for the heated term Whatever meat is eaten should be in small quantities and considered rather as a savory seasoning than as the main fea- ture of the meal. Stews containing quan- titles of vegetables, lamb or beef praised or made into pot roast with vegetables in abundance about them, meat that is broiled and daintily served-any or all of these are better than smoking joints eaten heartily. Meat can be combined with vegetables in other ways. Toma- toes, eggplant potatoes, cucumbers. and green peppers supply a savory item for luncheon or dinner when stuffed with minced meat or fish; either of these may be mingled with rice or macaroni and converted into a pate or into croquettes. Meat as well as poultry is an excellent salad served on lettuce or endive or with cold slaw.

Where All Could Read.

How wide a door of usefulness the Helping Hand has opened: I am sure that all its r. ders long to add their mite and to contrlbute what they can to make others happy. Oftentimes re- quests are printed for old magazines. I saw such good scheme practiced in small town. and I sec no reason why 1t would not work elsewhere A woman's club secured shelf in the postoffice. and requested those who subscribed to good periodicals to put the back numbers there where they were accessible to all who cared to take them home. Above the shelf on a card was a request that they be returned in good order and placed on the shelf 4 committee took 1t by turns to see that the shelf did not become n eyesore.
