NO MILITARY DRILL FOR Co-EDs
Believes Other Service More
Useful

The military drill suggested for Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania co-eds will not mate
rialze. Though a few of the girls favored
the plan because of the gymnasdc value OF
the training the Women's Undergraduate
Association has rejected the idea because of
the rush of more practical patriotic duties.
Three days in the week the girls are busy
doing Red Cross work for the University
unit rolling bandages, making surgical
dressings and knitting sweaters and con-
valescent quilts for the soldiers. They are
taking an active part in the University Lib
erty Loan campaign, which has sold $22, 900
worth of the Liberty Bonds in three days,
and they are taking an increasing active
part in the patriotic and local activities Of
the University.
The hours suggested for the course in
military training on Mondays and Fridays
from to 8 o'clock will be given over to
the rehearsals of the patriotic glee club
organized last year

WASHINGTON, oct 2O.-Egg storage
interests, facing huge losses, are coming
to Herbert Hoover next week to ask him
to use his powers not to lower prices. but
TO maintain them at present high levels
The tentative view Of the food admin.

egg spectators must pocket their losses
Last spring dealers, expecting dollar.a.
dozen eggs this winter, put them in cold
storage at thirty-seven cents or more To.
day the average wholesale price Is thirty.
five cents.
The dealers now overstoclted. propose
to make eggs an army ration, opening a
new outlet and keeping up the demand
EGGS have proved unsatisfactory for both
army and navy TO handle because they spoil
and break easily.
Although the egg men will receive hear
ing, they will be reminded of their vast
profits of the last two winters and be ad.
vised to remember cheerfully what a
tremendous service low egg prices are tc
the country, in view of the necessity tc
conserve meat.

The Care of Children.

Be careful in handling and lifting in
fants and small children. See that the
back and head are well supported at
all times. Never lift a child by the
arms or hands. as the delicate little
Joints and muscles are easily injured.
Half grown children should never be
allowed to attend babies.
Feed the baby at regular intervals
during the day. and try to give the bath
at the same hour every morning. y
feeding right after bath is proper, not
just before.
BY no means feed a child every time
it cries.
Do not jump baby on the knee or
excite it after feeding. II upsetS the
stomach and causes Indigestion. Keep
it quiet before going to sleep for the
night.
Different colored and highly scented
soaps are not always the finest.
Washcloths and towels used for the
baby should be kept separate from
others.
If the infants skin appears dry or
chafed in places, a little vaseline or
olive oil may be applied before pow
dering. Use mild, simple powder.
When the scalp is dry or difficult to
keep clean. rub gently with olive oil
at night, and wash with soap and wa
ter when bathed next morning. This
treatment will cleanse the scalp and
improve the hair.
Use water freely in the care of chill
dren. Water. like air. is necessary to
life. Children, just as adults. should
drink plenty of water between meals.
If so. there would be less indigestion
and more rosy cheeks. In its differ

Sleep for Children.

To keep children well give them
plenty of sleep. There is no tonic or
medicine equal to a good nights rest.
Never allow children to stay up late
at night. 1t makes them pale and
thin; besides it is an injustice. they
require several hours more sleep tAan
adults. 1t is indeed a pitiful sight to
see small children on the street late
at night. Not only their physical. but
likewise their mental and moral health
is endangered.
In seeking a remedy for nervous and
delicate children. very often you Will
find that it is sleep and not drugs that
is needed.
In a @ense, sleep is really more i'm
portant than food. The sick often sur
vive on very little to eat. and the re-
suits from medicine are not always sue
cessful but sleep is what is depended
upon to regain health and strength
Sleep is the secret of prolonged youth.
There is nothing more beneficial to
health or that can compare in value
to natural and refreshing sleep.

There is no time that gives rise to a

emergency. There is liable to be a call
any day for the home manager to go
to the home of a relative. friend or
neighbor on mission either of joy or
sorrow.
You should be prepared to enjoy the
pleasant calls and to give assistance in
times of need. You cannot do either
we'll unless YOU know your own family
is comfortable. Keep shelf of staple
foods of the highest quality brands for
this purpose. This is really more than
an emergency shelf, but to designate
it from our shelf of general staple sup
plies we'll call il our emergency shelf.
Keep this stocked with canned soup,
vegetables, fish, meat, fruits and condi-
ments. Then with good homemade
bread and a jar of homemade cookies
you are ready for any emergency. 1t is
well to have "a set of emergency menus,
with necessary recipes attached, in
your recipe file, so that any one coming
in to prepare a meal in your absence
would know just how to go about it.

day. Having come of a thrifty family,
used to believe firmly that every one
saved all good food as matter of
course.
A fine young man who is about to
day: why, L never knew anything
about croquettes and nifty salads and
creamed dishes until l was almost
twenty years old. My fathers sister
came to visit US, and what she could
do with the food we'd always thrown
away was a revelation.
And the funny part was We liked her
made-overs better than the repeated
expensive chops and steaks we had all
the time. One thing, she always made
a nice gravy or sauce with everything,
and we liked that immensely. She used
to buy chuck and shank meat and cook
it with a lot of vegetables, and it was
better than the most expensive steak.
When she did get a steak it would be a
flank steak. and she had way of
pounding flour and seasoning into it
and then frying it nice and brown till
it was fit for a king. If we had COM
pany and she got chops to grill and
serve with French peas she always cut
off the tough ends and cooked them
some way with rice. baking them in the
casserole long time.
Mother certainly had to get busy
with the left-overs after auntie left.
Father was dead, and we children were
paying the bills, and l know what a
great difference Aunt Sarah's cookin g
made, in fact. it almost cut our food
bills in half"
