just as attractive q way as Is possible
and it is her work to attend to such
service, but often the Overworked
mother finds it necessary to be both
nurse and housekeeper and she also
must know how.
The daintiness of the tray and It's
accessories as well as the food served
is of the first importance. A light tray,
large enough to hold all necessary
equipment and n easily cleaned,
should be chosen. Spotless linen, the
prettiest china arranged to look well,
adds not a little to the invalid's pleas
ure. A few flowers or one laid across
the napkin or placed in a small vase
Is always a source Of delight to the
eye, or when these are not obtainable
a spray of rose geranium will add to
the beauty of the service. In case of
contagious diseases, paper plates, cups,
napkins may be purchased and after
ward burned, with the lace paper dol
lies which may be purchased In pack
ages, the beauty of the tray need not
be entirely sacrificed to satisfy.
After the liquid foods which are
the first foods for the very i'll, comes
the semi-solid foods which are GUS
tards, eggs. jellies, fruits and cereals.
Cereals should be subjected to long,
slow cooking TO be safe food for an
invalid or children. Milk toast is an
other semi-solid food which Is usually
enjoyed.
One of the important points to re-
member in serving an invalid is to
have all hot foods hot, and cold foods
cold. Often a long trip upstairs will
cool the food. 1t should be carefully
covered, or placed over hot water, to
reach the patient in good condition.
A combination Of fruit with cereal
is particularly wholesome and appe-
tizing to an invalid. Prunes cooked
until soft, then rubbed through a sieve
and served in a small mound in the
center of the cereal, makes a whole
dish.
Stale bread makes most wholesome
desserts in various forms. Butter a
few slices and pour over any leftover
fruit, place in the oven to heat until
well scalded; serve with cream and

with any desired sauce or a gravy.
Any small bits of fowl may be finely
minced and seasoned with onion, pars-
ley, grated lemon rind or a nutmeg,
chopped green pepper, all of these or
season to taste. Put into shells made
OF mashed potato and brown in the
oven.
A salad is a fine dish to prepare
from left overs as fruit, vegetables,
meat, fish or fowl can all be used in n
salad. A few string beans, n little
onion juice, corn, tomatoes or celery
with a salad dressing will make a good
combination. Any small amounts of
cream may be used as cake filling for
shortening for all kinds of hot breads
and cakes as well as buildings and If
a larger amount Is at hand may be
whipped into a small pat of butter
which will be a most appetizing NOR
sci, especially for an invalid.
Small bits of leftover bacon stirred
into a hot breakfast cereal and put
into a mold may be fried for breakfast
lhe HEX morning.
If a little macarOni and cheese has
been left over, butter a baking dish,
add a layer Of the macaroni and a
sprinkling of chopped meat, a little
onion and a bit of tomato if at hand,
another layer Of macaroni, add a little
meat gravy or soup stock to moisten,
and bake until hot. Buttered crumbs
on the top adds to the dish and bake
until they are brown.
A Of baked beans is not
enough to serve the family, but they
may be added to a little stock or made
into a bean soup. One nice method
followed by n family when there are
several small bits Of different foods
left over is to reheat and serve as
they are, placing them on a tray, and
each one takes that which pleases him
best.

with green and white minis, green
candles, green shamrocks for place
cards, and joke favors of various wrig-
ely spiders and snakes may be used
in appropriate boxes. Small pots of
shamrock may be used as top to the

wax paper lined.
The menu may consist of n variety
Of good things, depending upon the
pocketbook, time to be spent in prepa-

For a beginning salmon canape or
any kind desired, served on toast, cut
in the form of the shamrock.
Salmon mixed with salad dressing,
spread over the buttered toast, then
sprinkled so generously over the fish
that it makes a solid green color. Use
cress or parsley stems for the stem
of the shamrock.
Dreamed chicken may be served in
small croustades of bread, with the
edges decorated with finely minced
green peppers, or cress may be used, if
the pepper Is served in some other
dish.
Watercress salad cannot be improved

Sulphur in Shoes a Grimm. Cur.

S'iPPC SuTGs
Sprinkle sulphur in your shoes to
avoid catching the grippe, is the adj
vice of DIR. George Angel. Years ago.
when the epidemic of grippe swept the
country, Doctor Angel recommended
at the time that everybody wear sui
phur in the shoes as a preventive, the
discovery having been made that min.
ers employed in the sulphur mines
were immune from the disease,
The discovery led to experiments
which were said to indicate that sui.
phur prevented the disease, and but
a few mild cases developed where sui
phur was worn in the shoes.
1t Is recommended that a teaspoon
full of sulphur be sprinkled in the sole
of each shoe and worn during the dura-
ton of the epidemic.
Doctor Angel, whose practice among
the working classes is very large, saws
that the data he had kept proves con-
clusively that the disease rarely, IL ever.
