Moving Day

To be rather more correct this
is an after-moving-day idea for that
is the time when one has TO sit down
and write to ones friends, 10 notify
them OF ones change of address.
To sit down 20 write individual
notes to a number Of people some
times requires more time than a
busy woman can conveniently spare
all ut once or very soon after NOV
ing, yet she does not want to get
out Of touch with her acquaint-
ances nor to have letters and mes
sages delayed. OF course. she viii
be prompt TO report her change of
address to the nearest postOfhce, but
still there are those telephone mes
sages which often mean so much
and which moving so frequently
delays.
one young woman in New York
has evolved what she considers an
easy method Of notifying her friends
when she moves, as apartment
dwelsers, particularly. in that city
and others 80 frequently do.
so many people write down ones
name and address and telephone
number on a slip of paper and then
say afterward, when you meet them.
that they are so sorry but they lost
your number and so could not call
you up. it occurred to me that il
would be a good scheme 10 send the
complete data, concerning ones new
abode, on an attractive card that
the friend to whom it was sent
would keep until she transferred
the information on it TO her address
book at least, if not longer. II

than a letter and be more easily re-

First, 1 wrote a little verse:
Please note the change OF address,
The telephone and all,

I'd like TO have you call
Then I put this on "A post card,

corner, 1 put a little drawing TO

(By Mrs. jess Sweitzer Sheafferl)
We have been intensely interested
In watching our little daughter with
her hrst books In addition to their
educational value. they are a source
OF great pleasure and have grown 20
be her daily companions. When
she was about IA months old she
was given her first book. a small
linen one containing pictures Of an
imals- These We would call by name
as We pointed them out to her, and
as thew became familiar she would
poinc them out herself After she
had learned to talk. she could say
the names also. Linen books con-
tanning pictures Of objects in col
Ors were next given the child and
when she had become acquainted
with these. group pictures were
added to the collection.
By countin- the objects in the va
riOus groups-not over Ave at first
and by calling attention 20 their
color. the child learned both num-
Der and color. Emile Poullson's
book on Finger Plays is an enjoy
able supplement TO pictures of this
kind.
We found simple. homemade. in
destTuctible scrap-books most salts
factory and attractive. Anticipating
the book stage. we had collected a
number or colored pictures from
magazines. For the leaves Of these
books we used brown paper-muslln,
cutting a number OF pieces Il by
"a inches and. after laying them one
on top OF another. stitching them
through the center. thus making
book IL by II inches when closed.
ON the pages we mounted the pic
lures with paste.
one book contained pictures OF
fowls. turkeys, chickens. ducks,
geese, guinea fowls. and some
pigeon and crow pictures also. IN
another book we pasted pictures Of
fOur-legged domestic animals. Many
Of the pictures showed the family
life of these in their natural sur
rOundings. They proved most in
teresting as the child's experience is
confined almost exclusively TO the
family of which he is a member.
and animal families naturally ap-
peal TO every child.
Our little girl is now nearly two
and a half years old. and she has
never tired of her scrap books.
Through them che has become ac-
quainted with the different animals
and the sound made by each, and is
able 20 connect the animals and
their calls.
The number OF books OF this kind
which would be of great educational
value &c the child is almost limit
less Birds, flowers, vegetables
trades. farming and history might
all be presented 10 the child in this
form. AS our little girl grows older
we have planned books of harvest
ing pictures showing the various
stages in the growth Of wheat from
the preparation Of the soil, pant
ing of the seed and so on, until it
passes through the hands Of the
miller and baker and finally reaches
the child in the form Of her daily
bread.

sive to be practical, or else hard to
get and have had to give it up be-
cause 1 didn't know a substitute for
the material the recipe called for.
In saving the fats, as you and ]
have promised to do as far as pos
sible, we ought TO know the amount
Of fat contained in various common
food materials so as to make in
telligent substtuuons. For instance,
we are told that chicken fat or sour
cream may be used instead OF but
ter in cake. To do this with success
the cook must know, however, how
much of either il takes to supply
the amount of fat contained in the
amount OF butter for which the re-
cipe calls. Cream contains more wa
ter than butter does, while rendered
chicken fat has a good deal less
because il has been heated and the
water which it originally contained
has been driven off.
With this in mind the u. s. De-
partment of Agriculture gives in one
Of it's publications the following
helpful table OF the amount Of fat
in the most commonly used food
materials:
In making these estimates il is
assumed that 8 level teaspoons
make level tablespoon, and IS
level tablespoons, l cup.
This table kept by every house
keeper will be a practical guide in
the use Of fats. I mean to try out
cake tomorrow TO demonstrate its
Fat content.

Letters from a Washington wom-
an TO her sister in Michigan telling
how one woman is cooperating with
the q. S. food administration.
Washington, D. c.
Dear Edith:
/ am finding out one thing, and
that is the necessity Of knowing
something about food values in or
der 10 accomplish the thing the food
administration is asking US to do;
that is, save foods needed for ship
ment to our allies by using foods
that cannot be exported. But in full
filling our food pledge we must be
sure that We give our families good
nOurishing food and plenty Of it. 1t
would be foolish to follow a pro-
gram for saving that affected the
health Of a family. Now, of course
this means that the housekeeper
must have a general knowledge of
the composition and properties of
foods and of how to select those the
body needs. In farmers' bulletin,
No. SOS, issued by the u. 5. De-
pdA lIlCAN VI ABllNuANuIC al w do4i-
ington some very helpful tables arc
given OF what each days food
should provide. I suggest that you
send a card requesting it.

knowledge OF food values is that
food materials differ in price with
place and season. I know 1 have

GOOD DIAGNOSIS is
GREAT IMPORTANCE

A clergyman living near Leyden was
the father of thirteen children. The
eldest, born December 81, 1868, was
Herman Boerhaave, accounted by
many the most famous physician not
only of the 18th but probably of any
century. He died of govt in 1888.
He was an indefatigable teacher,
sometimes lecturing five hours day to
his students at Leyden. He was the
first to give separate lectures on oph-
Technology (the science of diseases of
the eye) and to use a magnifying glass
in the examination of the eye. He
combined with a desire to study dis
ease at the bedside, a freedom from
theoretical and philosophical influence
which led him to use the most modern
diagnostic apparatus which he could
secure. He was so famous that a
Chinese official once sent him letter
addressed simply ITO the most famous
physician in Europe" His maxim was

simplicity is the seal of truth"


The modern diagnosis of disease
aims to employ every method which
will reveal the exact mental and ply
steal condition of the patient. Psyche
analysis will reveal the. depths OF the
patients mind almost as clearly as
the x-rays shows the broken bone hid
den beneath the body tissues. The
pressure of the blood against the
vessel walls may be accurately meas
ured and appropriate means taken to
ward off an apoplectic attack. The
bodily excretions may be analysed and
the efficiency of the excretory organs
determined. Special apparatus per-
mits the examination of the eye, the
ear, the nose, throat, bronchi, and the
interior of various other parts of the
body. Nothing is taken for granted;
the blood is examined, the activity of
the stomach Is estimated; the validity
Oh the nervous system is looked into.
The modern physician finds the dis
ease before he treats 1t.
Accurate diagnosis Is of Importance
to the public health because an early
and correct knowledge of the presence
OF a disease affords ample opportunity
to prevent its spread. The case of
tuberculosis which is found early,
has an infinitely greater chance of re-
covery than the one which is found
late. Boerhaave recognized these facts
il a general way, and applied them, in
fact, according to Rohlfs, he was the
first who made chemical examina-
ton of some Of the bodily excretions.

THE IDEAL HOME 4
= + + 4 4 4 + 4 \ 4 4 4 4 + +
Though we may not change the cot
tage
For mansion tall and grand,
Or exchange the little grass plot
For boundless stretch of land
Yet there's something brighter, dearer
Than the wealth we'd thus command.
Though we have the means to pur-
chase
Costly pictures rich and rare;
Though we have not silken hangings
For the walls SO cold and bare
We can hang them DER with garlands.
For flowers bloom everywhere.
We can make home very cheerful,
If the right course we begin,
We can make the inmates happy,
And their truest blessings din
It will make a small room brighter
If we let the sunshine in.
We can gather round the fireside,
When the evening hours are long;
And blend our hearts and voices
In happy, social song
We can guide some erring brother,
Lead him from the path of wrong.
We may fill our home with music,
And with sunshine trimming DER,
Ii against all dark intruders
We will firmly close the door
Yet should evil shadows enter,
We must love each other more.
There are treasurers for the lowly
Which the grandest fail to find;
There's a chain Of sweet affection
Bringing friends of kindred mind
We may reap the choicest blessings
From the poorest lot assigned.
