Weather Proof Set for Southern Tourists.

"Where are you going, my pretty
maid?" has become almost a foolish
question. All the pretty maids who
can manage it, are going along with
the matrons, to some winter resort,
where they can wear specially de-
signed clothes and be as happy as the
day is long, seeing and being seen.
The sunny South has other charms
than its climate, for the tourist, and
the fashion parade Is one of them.
There are some millions of us who
don't Cor who stay only for brief
week or so, but we are keenly inter
ested In the clothes that sojourners

materials, as rubberized silk or imita-
ton leather. Being moisture-proof is

their charms; being beautiful Is their
chief business In life and they brine

What Is life without sweater?
Just like home without mother-the
next thing to impossible. Besides the
comfort of them sweaters are con-
venient for the casual touch they lend
to the toilette, and they manage to
tone 1t up, or tone it down-depend-
ing on the kind of sweater and the
manner Of wearing 1t. II one has

foods have process of putrefaction
which is peculiar to that food, other
kinds of foods ferment but such food
rs meat, fish, eggs, cheese, and such
protein vegetables as peas and beans
decompose and the by-products formed
are more or less poisonous to human
beings.
The difference between fermenta-
ton and putrefaction is shown in the
digestion. Vegetable foods may fer
ment and cause irritation but with
animal food the irritation may be in
the form Of poisons which are taken
up by the blood stream just as Is the
food, these poisons cause autointoxi-
cation. The vast majority of people
who suffer In this way, suffer because
Of Overeating. An eatless meal once
or twice a week, would be not inap-
prOpriate to follow a wheatless day.
Fletcher, the dietician, in his won
derful books on living has discovered
that the simple art of mastication,
which is a much sighted If not lost
one, Is the secret of good health. Our
loyalty in these stirring times may
teach us the value of lessening our
food supply. The over-padded indiv-
idual who denies herself candy and
sweets because Of her patriotism will
be rewarded In the happy results to
herself. This will be true i'm cutting
out one-seventh of our meat, one-sixth
of our fat, and one-fourth each of
sugar and white -four. This self-de-
NAL will not only help us physically
but its influence must be felt In other
ways. The individual who cannot say
mo" for his stomach's sake will not
stand very firm on higher demands.
There Is one important thing that
all mothers of growing children should
consider, that they should not be re-
stricted as to food. for they need 1t
for the daily activities and to promote
growth.

tough meats always yield delicious
gravy. The tougher the meat the more
glory To the cook If she makes 1t appe-
tizing and palatable. The variations
on casserole dishes are only limited by
the supplies in the larder.
A steak may be smothered I'm onions
In casserole or with mushrooms.
All meat has the same first treat
ment seasoning rolling in flour and
browning in hot fat. Have the casse-
role hot, add two cupfuls of canned
tomato, half an onion, slice of car
rot and turnip. two stalks Of chopped
celery, sprig Of parsley and half a
teaspOonful of mixed spices. The meat
for this is beef. Pour q cupful of water
In the spider after the meat has
Drowned, add a teaspoonful Of kitchen
bouquet and pour 1t over the meat
and vegetables in the casserole. Cover
tightly and set In hot oven. AS soon
as the meat begins to cook reduce the
heat and let 1t cook very slowly for
two or three hours for three pounds OF
meat. II you wish to add potatoes to
this dish add them boiled until tender
10 minutes before 1t is to be served.
Casserole veal is delicious, with
green pepper and onion for flavor.
Mutton Is also excellent cooked with
peas and little onion. Chicken with
mushrooms, and few ripe olives for
garnish when serving is at its best
I'm this dish. A tough duck, squirrel
or rabbit may be made into most
tasty dish by casserole cooking.
Kidneys, beef hearts, calves hearts,
sweet breads, liver-in fact, any kind
of meat, fish or fowl can be cooked
acceptably in the casserole.
The coarser cuts Of meat-neck,
chuck and rump with vegetables, to
enrich the gravy, all make most delici-
