NECESSARY FOODS
ON The MENU
EACH DAY

Each day your family should have
in the days meals:
Some cereal food such as breads
and breakfast foods of various
kinds Some other seeds, such as
beans, peas, or nuts, may replace part
of the cereal.
Some milk, cheese, eggs, or meat.
If meat is used, some milk should
still be used or else the amount of
green vegetables must be very great
ly increased.
Some fruits or vegetables. These
may seem expensive but they are
necessary for normal health.
Some fat. If little milk is used,
preference should always be given to
butter fat.
Some sweet food if possible. This
is not necessary but adds greatly to
the palatability of a dietary.
Each child in your family must
have at least a pint of milk a day
| "a quart is better) even if you must
deprive yourself of some much liked
hut unnecessary food. Milk Is a cheap
| er food than meat. You can use it
| to advantage for yourself as we'll as
| for your children.

ETIQUETTE

MRS. Eff there is a hanging
light in the centre of your dining
room, the table should be exactly I'M
der it. A table pad, OF silence
CLOTH is placed under the table
cloth to protect it from hot dishes
and to lessen noise. When giving a
small informal luncheon, it is better
not to use artificial light, and many
hostesses prefer the daylight for
their large luncheons. For dinner
the prettiest and most appropriate
light is furnished by candles. There
should never be a glare, and If cleo
tricity is used it should be softened.
In setting the table, from rs to 30
inches is enough space to allow be-
tween places. Be sure never to over
load your table, whether with food or
with decorations.

very short and cards should be left
TRIXIE.-I should not advise you
to go to such lengths as to cease
speaking to the young man on the
street; but since he has not acknoWl-
edged the birthday gifts which you
sent him, it is evident that he does
not care to receive presents from you.
This places you in an embarrassing
position, and I think that your best
plan would be to reduce your ac-
quaintance with him to the most for
NAL basis possible. Bow to him when
you meet him on the street, but avoid
him at all other times.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

Colored clothes will be brighter
and hold their color longer If washed
in clean suds and rinsed in very blue
water; if they are starched make the
starch blue.
Beetles have a great objection to
unslacked lime, and a few pieces of
this placed in their haunts will gen
orally keep them awty.
Thick brown paper should be laid
under carpets if the patent lining IS
not to be had 1t saves wear and pre-
vents the inroads of moths, which,
however will seldom give trouble if
salt is sprinkled around the edges
when the carpet is laid.

DANCING Monday Night,

Dancing to the music of the Nc
Enelly Singing Orchestra will be the
feature at the Colonial Ball Room
in Fairfield avenue, Monday night,
when this popular orchestra makes
its visit for January, the first of the
present year. This is enough. to as
sure a crowd to tax the ball room
to it's capacity, ano many dancers
think there is no music like the Nc
Enelly music. They will play and
sing all of the latest songs and
musical hits, give a short concert,
and a long evening of dancing. There
will be no increase in the usual pop
ular price of admission, but there
will be a good time and cordial well
