practical value in the endeavor to feed to
their children the simplest, most wholesome
tissue-building foods, without which no child
can develop properly.
A well balanced diet is the thing most need
full to produce strong bodies and active minds.
This is obtained by following the plan de-
vised by the dietetic experts, which provides
that each meal shall contain at least one food
from the following groups, arranged with
view to supplying the nutrition necessary to
a child
O) Milk and the dishes made chilly from
milk; meat, fish, poultry, eggs and meat sub
stitutes-protein, rich foods
(2) Bread and other cereal foods-cereal
or starchy foods
(3) Butter and other wholesome fats
fatty foods.
(4) Vegetables and fruits.
(o) Simple sweets.
With each and every meal there should
always be milk and it should be SO distributed
that the child will consume a quart daily.
Much of this is given as a drink or is served
on cereals or in the form of bread and milk.
1t may also be served on fruits, if they are not
too acid-and in custard, junket and other
simple buildings. Or it may be used in place
of water in cooking cereals.
Moreover, to make this absolutely clear, the
food experts have prepared set of menus
showing various breakfasts, dinners and sup
pers arranged according to the food groups.
With these as basis or guide any, earnest
mother can work out endless other menus for
her Undergraduates, grade-school children and
high school pupils.
In order to familiarize themselves with the
"do's and don't's" Of detetc requirements for
children of different ages, the Congress of
Mothers, of Washington, d. c.. under its
president, Mrs. G.. S. Rafter, planned and
established, through one of its parent-teacher
associations, a complete course of training
which it called Cooking School for Mothers.
Here, for three months and more earnest
mothers from all parts of the city spent even
ing after evening learning the scientific
methods as advocated by the government, UNI

learning at the same time many Of their in
dividual and general errors, handed down as
heirooms and treasured and followed from
sentiment or mere habit.
No tough or hard foods that are likely to
be eaten hastily without proper masticatlon
should be served 20 children at meal that is
hurried. Although children's teeth need eX-
ercise fully as much as their muscles, when
the time for eating is limited they should be
given soft or finely chopped foods, such as
sandwiches made from crustless breads with
finely chopped filings. With care, no sacrifice
of good manners is necessary; food may be
served in individual portions, the meat al
ready sliced; desserts are served in cups in
stead of in one large dish, the bread is but
tered and all other foods may be served in
dividually, simplifying the whole meal.
The following are suggested bills of fare for
home lunches as arranged by the government
experts:
1. Eggs, boiled, coddled, poached, or scram-
bled; bread and butter; spinach or other
green's; cake.
q Beef stew with vegetables milk; crisp,
thin tea biscuits; honey.
g. Dried bean or pea PURGE; toast; baked
apple; cookies.
A. Vegetable milk soup; zwieback; rice with
maple sugar and butter or with milk or cream.
>. Potato chowder; crackers; jelly sand
witches.
6. Cold meat; creamed potatoes; peas; bread
and butter; frozen custard or plain ice cream
and plain cake.
T. Lamb chop; baked potatoes; bread and
butter sliced mixed fruits; cookies
g. Baked omelet with spinach, kale, or other
greens; bread and butter; apple sauce; cake.
9. Milk toast; string beans; stewed fruit;
cake.
10 Boiled potatoes Goldfish gravy; bread
and butter; lettuce; custard.
The basket lunch is more of problem, for
the reason that many foods cannot be carried
in it, either because they are not good unless
hot or because they cannot well be packed.
This leaves fewer foods to select from and
these must be packed with great care, as they

THE HOUSEKEEpER'S BOOKSHELF

The author wisely begins with an Illuminating
chapter on cleanliness and health, emphasizing
the value Of clean house and plenty of sunshine.
If Mrs Bakers stringent rules the washing
and handling of dishes in the kitchen were fol-
lowed, the aesthetic tone Of the table, and incl
dentaly the health of the family, might be i'm
proved -for, in truth, "the lack of a clean dish
mop is where many housekeeper slips up"
The author comedies most heartily with the
constantly growing opinion that the labor saving
devices on the market make housekeeping easier
She advocates the Of the vacuum cleaner, the
hreless cooker the electric or hydraulic motor
for running ice cream freezers and many other
time savers.
In the chapter home sanitation there are
many valuable suggestions on cleaning You
also told how to get rid of the household pests
with which, unfortunately, We are, most OF US,
more or less familiar.
Six chapters are devoted 20 cookery. The one
on foreign cooking gives some very unusual and
interesting dishes. With the constant cry for
something new" 20 satisfy, the housewife will
find these rather valuable in suggestions.
For most Of us neither luncheon dinner Is
complete without salad. Mrs. Baxter gives some
very attractive recipes for salad containing in
gradients which, fortunately, are not impossible
to buy.
Certain skeptical souls maintain that n sand
wch is pretty poor food But the majority Of
the great American public believes in the sand
wieh. For the woman who serves them the chap
ter on sandwiches may offer rome new sugges-
tons
Equally interesting the pages on vegetarian
food, homemade candies and preserving and pick
ling.
There are many useful helps In the chapter en-
titled "Hints 10 the Cook" which may be accepta-
bic 20 the mistress Of the kitchen. And even Blue
Monday should be brighter after reading "A

in the feeding of their little folks at all times
and with food suited to all ages, the spe-
cialists in the Bureau of Home Economics have
mapped out vast fund of valuable informa-
ton which has been compiled into Farmers
Bulletins TIP and TIT and made accessible to
every mother in the land if she desires them
In these bulletins the value of foods and
their proper combinations are fully explained.
In addition, there are specific rules, schedules,
menus and recipes, all the result of long in
designations and scientific experiment on the
part of the scientists who have devoted their
lives to the study of dietetics.
The whole plan of these bulletins is to give
to parents such suggestions as will be of

must be carried through dusty streets or
roads and kept for several hours before using.
But with the use of paper cups and napkins,
parafin or parchment paper, many moist
foods such as sliced raw fruits, custards,
stewed fruits, cottage cheese, etc, may
be carried without harm to the remainder of
the lunch At this meal there should be all
possible variety in breads to avoid the danger
of monotony Wheat bread corn, rye, or oat-
meal breads, nut, raisin and date breads,
beaten biscuit, toasted zwieback and crackers
all should have turn. Rolls may be followed
out and arranged to hold a goodly amount of
sandwich filling.

HOMEMADE WINDOW BOXES

Almost any boy make his mother set OF
artistic window boxes to be placed in the sunny
window to hold pretty blooming plants
A window box can be made from starch box
with the addition of thin strips OF wood tackled
around the edges and on the sides to give a
panelled effect
When these boxes are stained moss green
they make most fitting receptacle for bright
coored blossoms and growing things. II the
window sill is too narrow 10 set these boxes upon
they can easily be made broad enough by placing
a thin board on the sill and two brackets or braces
under the SILL so that the board rests upon them.
