put it into a good cream sauce Make
large quick biscuit of barley flour, split
and butter hot and fill with the chicken
mixture. Serve garnished with parsley.
AS side economy, put the chicken
bones back into the water, which
should have had bay leaf, an onion,
three stalks of celery, two cloves, diced
carrot and little parsley boiled with
the chicken to favor it; boil gently
three-quarters of an hour strain and
set aside for the grease to rise When
risen take it off and set the bouillon
aside for future use add two table
.spoonsful of chopped suet to the fat and
cook until it is melted; then strain
through hot cheesecloth.
For the corn cookery Allow two large
or three small ears to person. Husk
and silk them carefully, then tie them in
cheesecloth squares, six or eight ears
in square, then drop them into boiler
of fast boiling water; do not add salt,
as that makes them tough. Boil for from
eight to ten minutes, lift and drain, then
lay the ears on the grating of the gas
broler under the full flame and turn as
rapidly as they roast, using two long
forks for the purpose. Sprinkle with
salt, butter lightly and serve at once
To hasten matters, an extra grill can be
laid over the gas holes on top and raised
on bricks or blocks two or three inches
above the flame, and the ears will roast
perfectly there. The whole thing is
easily and quickly done. If any of the
corn is to be held back for late guest
put it in a steamer to keep warm, but
do not let it stand in the water
The golden pumpkin filling will have

Competition in
Weight Gaining

As soon as the facts are obtained
chart is made for each child, showing in
a graphic manner the weight and height
at the beginning of the course and the
goal to be obtained. Each week the child
is weighed and measured on the same
day and his gain or loss recorded on his
chart. Great is the JOY of the children
who see their weight line going up The
effect on children whose weight goes
down is that they catechize the nurse
for the reason and viii not themselves
rest until something begins to happen III
the right direction. This. is the effect
of the class method, where competition
is played up as a healthy stimulus
In one class tonsl operations were at
such premium that one child was heard
to refer to hers as a treat" the nurse
had given her In another mother who
was In the beginning firmly opposed to
the operation came later of her own ac-
cord and said that she would have to

Well Fed but
Still Under Weight

The other group of children, those
who seem to be eating enough but are
still seriously under weight, present an
other problem, and one which has baffied
many an intelligent and educated parent
The group Of doctors working here say
that in each Of these cases there is a
cause, and if you hunt long enough it
will come to light. SO the next step
with these children is thorough physi-
cal examination, leaving no stone un-
turned in the search.
These examinations in the school Of
health have just begun, but experience
elsewhere has shown that various causes,
from chronic appendicitis to heart
LESSONS, may be the cause of malnutrition.
The most frequent cause which comes to
light, however is bad throat Adenoids

cheat units) day a child of certain
weight should consume The notebooks
show that many children are getting
grlevously less than they require, more
often from ignorance and lack of ap-
petite than from poverty Other chill
dren equally under weight are getting
enough as far as quantity is concerned.
These offer two different types of prob
lem:
The first group, those who are not
eating enough, are visited at home and
talked with at school and shown how
gradually to increase their rations each
day. Many practical suggestions are
given as to how this can be done In
the record book is fair example of how
a diet may be raised in caloric value
without great change in food habits.
If an egg is taken for breakfast, to
scramble rather than boil it adds $50
calories of milk and butter To substi-
tute cocoa for milk adds another $50.
Thus one meal may be increased 800
calories by merely taking little trouble
and understanding how to do it.
The school lunch consists of not less
than 500 calories every day, and supple
ments the home meals while the mothers
and children are learning the meaning
and values of various kinds of food.
Children of eight years and upward can
easily learn the measuring Of food in
calories and what it means. This is not
merely theory, but has proved to be true
in other places Children of nine and
ten talk quite freely and accurately in
scientific terms once they really com
prehend their meaning, and an added
dignity is bestowed on the whole diet
question.

work.
Their method of work is this: All ap-
plicants for the school of health are
weighed and measured and their ratio of
weight to height computed and referred
to standard tables. Those children who
are 10 per cent below the normal are
registered and become students in the
summer school of health. They range in
age from five to twelve years. They are
divided into groups according to their
ages and meet with doctor and nurse
