To Make Cottage Cheese

70 the Editor Of Wonan's Page:
Dear Madam-will you please print directions
TOR making cottage cheese out Of sour ss. milk
The milk should be at least forty.eight
hours old and should have a clean, sour
flavor; when 1t Is thickened to the con-
sistency Of thin jelly 1t should be cut into
pieces the size OF a walnut after which the
curd should be stirred thoroughly with a
spoon. Place the pan OF broken curd In a
kettle OF hot water so as to raise the tenn
perature to 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Cook
at that temperature for about twenty min.
utes stirring vigorously with a spoon every
five minutes for one minute. At the end of
this time pour the curd and whey into a
small cheesecloth bag "a clean salt bag will
answer the purpose very nicely and hang
the bag on a fruit-strainer rack to drain
After five or ten minutes work the curd
toward the center with a spoon. Raise and
lower tho ends Of the bag to make the
whey drain faster To complete the drain
ing tie the ends Of the bag together and
hang up. Since there Is some danger that
the curd will become too dry the draining
should stop when the whey ceases to flow In
. steady stream. The curd Is then emptied
from the bag and worked with spoon or but
smooth and Of the consistency of mashed
potatoes. Sour or sweet cream may be
added also to increase the smoothness,
palatability and flavor. Salt according to
taste, usually about one teaspoonful to sew
eral pounds of curd.

Vertigo is likely to follow very long hot
bath, because Of the weakening effect or
the bath upon the heart and the great dila-
tation of the surface vessels A dash or
cold water at the close of the hot bath will
cause the symptoms to disappear.
Vertigo with pallor may usually be re-
leved by cold water applied briefly to the
face and chest or by applying hot cloths to
the head.
Neurasthenics often suffer much from
vertigo. In such cases the vertigo Is usually
accompanied by feeling Of construction of
a band" sensation in the head with a sem
sation OF pressure at the back of the head.
There are also "numbness" and other dis
turbances of sensation In various parts Of
the body. In these cases hot applications
to the top and back of the head afford re-
lief Bathing the face with hot water is also
beneficial.
When 1t is induced by congestion hot
footbath should be employed with cold ap-
plcations to the head, and the patient
should sleep at night with his head elevated
and should avoid stopping.

To refuse to employ man probably does
him no great harm, but to discharge him
may leave a permanent imprint on his
character. He may regard himself as

for having once made blunder They
have profited by 1t and are resolved that
nothing like 1t shall ever occur again.
should much prefer to have a man make
mistakes--as long as he isn't repeater
than to make excuses. A little excuse
is dangerous thing. 1t is habit that
grows on one. A man gets to depend on
excuses for careless work instead Of striv-
ing to do the work properly. The fellow
who never has an excuse, even for poor
work. shows that he is trying his best to
do 1t right and has at least conscience"

If the mother feels poorly. can she trust

In deeper senses, can your father trust

for a long time. 1t seemed as II II had been
years since 1 went to school, had had so
much fun fighting the ugly man and hear
ing the crazy girl scream and riding In the

| Then my father came in and threw his hat

this morning." I said whats IT to your
and we both laughed and ! kissed him and
we had our pancakes together.

all in one piece.

something, so we tppytoed out without his
getting onto us. | sat on the sidewalk and
tried TO think what he going to put
over. but | could not think.
Rowdy and l went in when the bell rang.
All through the morning Peanuts kept
rocking his desk frontwards. so that he al
most made me slide off onto the floor.
After while when he busy and was

my might. 1t was then that the big thing
came off. Peanuts hollered so that he
could be heard all over the room. Every
body looked at him. The desk had blam-
med him in the stummick and all the ink
in the inkwell had sailed out and gone
into his ear and there 1t was running
down his neck
Miss Groarty came and qhaked him and
me out Of our senses and told the other
kids to Close the'r faces. Then she asked
Peanuts to explain, lie just pointed at
me and said, she did it," All the while
Rowdy was standing growing, waiting for
me to tell him whether he should chew leg
off Miss Groarty. told him to be dead and
he did. Then / told Miss Groarty what
Peanuts had been trying to pull off and he
said he had not, and Miss Groarty said. Il

She searched my desk and did not find
anything except my all-day-sucker and then
she searched his desk and found the screw
driver and the screws. Then she asked him
IL he did not know he could be arrested for
damaging school property. He began to
cry and that made me mad. | had not
been mad before, for it was a good joke,
but when kid as big as Peanuts starts in

The teacher made him screw the desk back
to the floor while / stood up and watched
him, and all the time he kept crying and
wiping his nose on his sleeve. After that
Miss Groarty sent him to tell the principal
what he had been doing. l thought that

our school and when school was out |

nNE of the most detestabe habits is
~ the explaining habit. There are some
people who are always explaining away
their mistakes and making excuses. No
one is infallible and no stigma attaches
to the person who occasionally makes a
mistake, but there is something missing
ir the moral makeup OF a man who will
not freely acknowledge a mistake as such
and not try to cover 1t up under layers Of
excuses or explanations. No fair-minded
employer will discharge a man because Of
one mistake. He rather feels that the
man is more valuable. for he has learned
his lesson and is certain not to make the
same error a ain.
