Keeping the Little
People Well in
Spring
By EMMA GARY WALLACE.

TyERY mother Of experience knows that
the lovely spring weather is really try
ing, as far as her little brood is con-
earned. The children who have kept well oil
winter are so likely TO contract colds IN tho
spring. Then, too, number Of diseases arc
epidemic and when the children 60 out TO play
a greater part Of the day they are likely 70
meet others and perhaps contract whooping
cough. measles, chicken pox or whatever may
be prevalent.
The tendency on the part Of some mothers
is 10 change childrens underwear very early
for lighter garments, and to let the furnace
fire go out when a warm balmy day comes
This may not be a wise policy, for spring
weather is changeable and it takes these
changes to start the sap in the trees ard plants,
and to encourage the grass TO grow again.
Young children should not be allowed TO play
50 heavily clothed that they will perspire, for
they are sure to catch cold when they sit down
on the step or the grass to rest. Children
should be warned not TO sit on the ground until
it has been warmed by weeks Of sunshine. The
same underclothing should be worn until the
weather is settled and the outer garments
should be ngnteneh 10 iheee III" P~'SN
weather conditions Of the day.
In place of letting the furnace fire 90 out al
together 1t is much better to let 1t burn very
low. opening doors and windows II necessary.
for, while it will be warm in the sunshine, IN
the shaded rooms there will be chill, and
toward night, when the family is less active
there is liable TO be much danger Of catching
cold. Many a serious case of illness has re-
suited from trying to get along without fur-
mace fire after 1t had been let go out. 1t Is much
better to start up the heater without ques-
ton on a cool morning, especially II there are
little people in the house. They are nearer
the floor and more likely to feel the drafts
even than older persons
We now realize that the infectious diseases
Of children are dangerous and 70 be avoided
and if there is case Of whooping cough or
chicken pox in the neighborhood 1t is better
to keep our children by themselves If we can
until the danger is past.
An aiing child is not likely to be happy
one, and often dsobedience and irritabilty
spring from ill health. Many mother is tied
up in the house by spring illness of her chill
dren and prevented from enjoying the nice
weather because there has been a little lack
of proper care somewhere. An ounce OF pre-
vention is certainly worth many pounds OF
cure, and little caution now may save much
anxiety for the mother and discomfort for the
child.

the flmy fabric used for fine lngerie-not
the stout. durable underclothes of our grand
mothers, but the kind of lingerie the modern
American woman would mortgage her house to
buy. Right here is the opportunity for our
sacrifce-a sacrifice even greater than that OF
the old lady who brought in her precious en-
broidered pillow slips. Fortunately, the keen
edge of remuneration is turned a little by the
fact that to be useful the material must be old,
and we all know how soon these cobwebby un-
dergarments are fitted to graduate into the
bandage class.
Even scraps of colored chintzes and ere
tonnes should not be thrown aside Over there
at the front it is difficult to get enough pillows
for the tired heads of the men who are con-
vaescing from some savage hurt. The white
pillows of the hospital beds are in demand for
those whose need is most desperate, and at

shadow of danger have to be treated like the
older children in household which boasts

rags if necessary-there are always old rags

The National Surgical Dressings Committee
of America, of which I have the honor to be
chairman, was organized in October, 1914. 1t
is a voluntary war relief association, engaged
in the making Of variety of surgical dress
ings out of old and new materials.
Also it aims to be the medium through which
generous and sympathetic American women
can make and send surgical dressings to the
hospitals in the war zone. Many of those have
hardly the barest necessities for the proper
care of wounded men, and the supplies we have
been able to send to Europe for free distribur

Skim Mix as Such

The New York Legislature has just passed
an act amending the agricultural law so that
clean, pure, healthy, wholesome skin, milk can
be sold as such and cheese made from the same.
This is depriving the sewer and the pig OF
tons upon tons of valuable food material that
they have been getting heretofore, because we
were so afraid of getting skim milk for whole
milk that we solved the problem by throwing
the former away.
Do you know that of protein, OF valuable
milk sugar, of still more valuable mineral salts,
YOU get Just as much in skim milk as you do
in milk?
Cook with it, by all means; use 1t in every
way you can, except to feed the baby tuniess
you have crouch against him), for all that
you will miss is the 81 per cent Of fat, which
most adults get plenty of from butter and other
sources, while you gain about cents on every
quart used.

"HERRIES canned, picked, spiced, made

The only difficult part Of preparing cherries
is the removal of the pits, but if one Is pro-
vided with cherry stoner and pair OF rub
Ter gloves neither the temper nor the hahds
need suffer from the operation.
In putting up cherries look them over caro-
rr,,v and discard any over-ripe or damaged
;ruit. Good results cannot be obtained from
cherries that birds and insects have attacked
or from fruit that has hung too long on the
trees. The housewife must also remember tha'
the two varieties of cherries known as sweet
end ,our differ very materially. The latter
are especially good for pies and tarts, not only
ON account of the flavor but owing to the TACT
that the juice is very thick and rich.
These old fashioned sour cherries are not al
w.ys obtainable in our markets, because :he
rect oxheart and white eating cherries are
now cultivated to their exclusion. The house

in perfect order, as cherries, when they are
cooked down into jam, scorch easily. II the
kettle you keep for that purpose IS wearing

fruit and the sugar to save the price OF an

broken stick Of cinnamon. Put the vinegar
and sugar on to heat with the spices; boil
for five minutes, then turn in the fruit and
cook for five minutes more after they have
reached the boiling point. Seal in hot, steril-
lied jars with rubbers and hot covers.
MOCK MARASCHINO CHERRIES
This formula was obtained from noted
confectioner who used the cherries in place OF
tho real article. The Montmorenci or any
large, firm cherry can be utilized. Stone caro-
fully the amount desired, being careful not
TO mangle the fruit. Soak the cherries for
twenty-four hours in vinegar (this makes
them firn), then drain and dry. Take equal
weights of granulated sugar and cherries; mix
thoroughly and lay out on large platters. Keep
in cool place for seven days. Stir well each
day, put in jars and seal. Keep in the cellar
while curing.
PRESERVED CHERRIES AND della
WARE CHERRY VINEGAR
This formula gives two delicious prepare
tons. Stone the fruit, press and cover with
vinegar. Let this stand on the cherries over
night in cool place. Next day, drain of the
cherry Juice and vinegar through a jelly bag,
and to each pint of liquid add three-fourths OF
a pound Of sugar. Let boil for half an hour
and bottle when cold This cherry vinegar Is
Is much esteemed as raspberry vinegar, and
can be used in the same way.
After draining off the vinegar, put the cher
rcs in a stone crock, with alternate layers Of
white sugar. Allow three-quarters Of pound
of sugar for each pint Of cherries. Keep the
crock covered and in a cool place. Stir it
gently-so as not to cut up the fruit-every
morning for ten days. A wooden spatula or
long-handled wooden spoon is best to use for
this. The fruit may then be put into smaller
receptacles, but need not be sealed air-tight
This is one of the most delicious fruit con-
serves, and is very easily made.

proces, and finish them In the early morning.

PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED

There are certain precautions to be observed
if they are used for jellies, marmalades or
pickles.
Do not pour jelly into paraffin lined con
tainer at too high temperature mot over l2o
degrees Fahr.). Such jelly will not be so fine
in texture as one poured in when near the boil
ing point, but it will be good For foods having
a high percentage of liquid it is necessary to
select the containers very carefully, beng sure
that they are heavily paraffned. -,
Fibre or paper containers are more suitable
for marmalades and jams than for thinner
preserves. but as the containers cannot well
be sterilized they must be used tentatively at
first and with special care. They are, OF
course. sterilized as the last process Of manu-
facture. - 49,.
The housekeeper can best collaborate in this
economic drive by accepting cordially from the
retailer her supplies when they arrive in fibre
containers instead of tin or glass and by using
them for storage purposes for tea. coffee, sugar
and the like. as well as for semi-solids, such as
annie butter. peanut butter, thick marmalades,
ETC.. and for dried fooos. 90
Women should begin TO ask Tor fibre con-
tanners that they may be perfected and as soon
as possible be available on the retail market at
low nrices for more general use in preserving.
Even now communities or clubs could buy in
thousand lots. These containers are, OF course,
never acceptable for canning or for any
process in which the can must be stcrilized
after it is filled.

in one day. Remove the stones from the fruit
and drop in boiling syrup made from four cups
of sugar to one cup and half of water. This
quantity will be sufficient for about six pounds
of fruit. Let the cherries simmer until tender;
then lift out carefully drain thoroughly and
roll in powdered sugar. Lay out on platter
and set in the sun to dry; If syrup oozes from
them, remove to a cold dry dish. When per-
fectly dry, pack in q jar with sugar between
them. When preparing for the table, let them
soak over night and stew in the same wate:
They will be found to have as fine flavor as
preserved cherries, and will keep for any
length Of time.
CHERRY AND PINEAPPLE JAM
Cook five quarts Of stoned Morello cherries
in little water until tender. and in a separate
kettle cook one large pinespple. cut into
CUBES Then combine the two fruits; add two
cans of shredded pineapple and one pound OF
hot sugar TO each pound Of the fruit. CooE
