Hungry School Teacher Unfortunately

Two Hoosier teachers were travelling
through Canada the other day. They
had to take very early train, and as
result intended to eat breakfast In the
dining car. But there was no dining
car on the train. Hungrily they faced
the prospect Of day Of fasting. for
they would not arrive at their destina.

But not one bite did the generous

HOUNDS COULD NOT. FORGET
Faithful Animate Long Remembered
Young Master Who Met Tragic
Death Year Ago.

II has often been said that q "dog

tainly proved true In the case Of
Johnny Ingram, a flfteen-year-old boy,
who froze to death during the big
snowstorm about a year ago on the
banks Of Spring river. says a Still
water (okla.) dispatch.
When the body Of the unfortunate
boy was found two large greyhounds
sat shivering In the snow guarding
their young masters remains from
wolves and other wild beasts.
After the boys burial the two
faithful hounds. would make almost
daily trips out to the cemetery and
sit for hours at his grave. On these
days they would not partake of a bite
to eat until they returned to the In
gram home,
Many have followed the dogs to the
cemetery out Of curiosity to see whni
they would do. They were often
found lying there, one on each side
Of the grave, their heads between
their paws, as Il In silent prayer.
Last summer the dogs were seen
to gather wild pansies and vlolets In
their mouths and trot off toward the
cemetery. where they would deposit
the flowers upon the boys grave
These flowers were favorites with the
lad. About month ago the two
dogs appeared to be sick.
A veterinary surgeon was called
from Saltwater. but after examining
the dogs he declared that he could
nnd nothing wrong with them. How
ever. they still refused to eat and

sixty to seventy children out of
every hundred (as figures given
later will show who are not under

but who are, nevertheless, below par
IN other respects. That they are not
underweight may be due to good
feeding during infancy or to unusu
ally resilient bodies; for it oftens
takes considerable time before the
results of bad living show themselves
IN loss of weight, anamia and other
definite symptoms. Now is the time
to see that all children are put in

The pamphlet discusses at length
the Investigations made in New York
City, and quotes from DR.. Josephine
Bakers findings relative to under
nourished children in that city.
Specific causes of malnutrition-
such as diet, fatigue, insufficient
sleep and disease or defects-are
and discussed. Poverty
and ignorance. with lack of parental
control, are given as the underlying
causes.
Treatment for malnutrition is sug-
gested in the form of fresh air
schools, the school luncheons and nu-
triton clinics and classes.

Many people prefer to make their
gingerbread with sour milk. Beat
one egg we'll. Mix one cup of
molasses with one cup of sour milk.
Add half cup of sugar to the
egg and combine the two. Mix
teaspoonful of soda and a half
teaspoonful each of cloves, ginger,
cinnamon and nutmeg and sift
with enough flour to make a good
stiff batter. Bake in gem pans.
Just before taking from the oven
put marshmallow on each and let
it brown. This batter can be kept
in the refrigerator for several days
and baked when needed. If you
get some very small patty pans it
can be baked in a twinkling of an
eye, hardly before you have time
to realize that the kitchen is getting
hot. These little hot cakes with a
dish Of sliced fruit or berries make
a nice dessert for a cold luncheon
OF supper.
To make the old-fashioned hard
gingerbread that the children love
so well, heat cup of molasses, add
a cup Of shortening and cup of
sugar. Cool, add a half a cup of
sour milk, three cups of flour with
one and one-fourth teaspoonsful of
soda, two of ginger, one Of cinna-

Then add barely enough flour to

Some cooks make up supply Of
fancy jellies by using the prepared
pectin alone with sugar, and then
coloring and flavoring it as they
like. A delicious mint jelly to serve

mint is not available is made this
way with very little trouble. Equal
amounts of the pectin and sugar

Another Way to Beat an
Egg
THNHE points that endear one
Z egg beater to the housekeeper
more than annthnr aro ;4s

ME points that endear one
egg beater to the housekeeper
more than another are it's
adaptability, its steadiness and it's
5peed, a combination Of qualities
that any one might envy. The "Bilt-
rite eggbeater will beat one egg
or dozen with equal facility; it is
easily held in place, owing both to
the shape Of the handle and the fiat
ness of the bottom of the blades. II
is very light running and whipped
one egg white stiff and dry in thirty
seconds and one yolk to light lemon
color in the same time. A half
pint of heavy cream was perfectly
stiff in one minute. No more could
be asked in the way of speed than
this.
1t is interesting to note that when
more ancient egg was used-one
that had been in the icebox for two
weeks-twice as long a time was re-
quired, i. e., sixty seconds. This is a
point for the housekeeper, both in
choosing her eggs for certain pur-
poses and in knowing where to place
the blame if results are slow.
The materials and construction of
this beater are good. The timed
steel does not rust, even under ex-
treme conditions of dampness, when
ether materials succumb. The
two four-looped beaters are held in
place by one stamped-out gear wheel,
which drives both.
For a quick omelet, the many
egged cake, for whipped cream des-
serts and for mayonnaise, such a
beater is especially needed.

No MAKE good gingerbread
the molasses, milk and short
ening are usually heated,
Sen cooled before the -four is
added. 1t should always be baked
IN shallow pans in a slow oven.
If baked too quickly it will burn
around the edges and be soft and
heavy in the centre.
A fine recipe without eggs is
made with hot water. Mix and sift
together two and one-fourth cups
of flour, teaspoonful Of soda, one
and one-half teaspoonsful Of gin
ger and half teaspoonful of salt.
Pour half a cup Of boiling water
over a cup of molasses and combine
the two mixtures. Add four table
spoonsful Of shortening and bake
IN moderate oven. When it is
done brush over the top, while hot,

molasses and brown sugar. Beat
two eggs until light, add a cup Of
brown sugar gradually, a half a cup
OF melted shortening, one cup Of
milk, one cup of molasses and a.
teaspoonful each Of ginger and cin-
namon. Sift four teaspoonsful Of
baking powder with three and one

Cool Drinks

THERE are any number Of
delicious cold drinks that
make welcome addition to
the hot weather luncheon or tea
table.
Have you ever tried ginger ale
and lime? Squeeze the juice of two
hines into the contents Of one bot
tie of ginger ale and serve very cold.
1t is delicious.
If you have a profuson of fruits
IN summer you can make frus
syrups at home. Cook a quart Of
fresh fruit (raspberries, cherries,
currants, or whatever you have)
with a pint of water until the fruis

TN USING the fireless cooker to pre-
pare the summer meals the house
holder should follow exactly the
rules that accompany her special cooker.
But as the majority of the best ones are
made to use with two radiators or disks
the directions for cooking the various
dishes follow this plan
When only one radiator is used the
contents of the dish will not brown, and
it is best to first scar the meat, or when
an esealloped recipe or baked beans are
to be cooked brown afterward in quick
oven or under the broiler Of the gas
range.
Both lima and green beans, being now
at the height of their season, are es-
pecially featured for the coming week.
Unfortunately, few housekeepers, unless
they have their own gardens, ever get
these delicious vegetables at their best,
for the more mature specimens usually
offered for sale give no idea of the sweet
flavor and delicate texture of the tiny
beans picked before they have attained
half their growth.
AS soon as the beans come from mar
ket (and l would recommend buying
limas in the pods if you are sure of your
marketman) put them in cold water, TAX
ing care that the stem end is immersed
Let them stand for several hours and, if
they are to be cooked in the freless, pro-
ceed as follows:

The bulletin continues:
What is malnutrition? Is it an
infectious disease like measles or

course and is then over? Unfortu-
nately not, else steps would long

it. Neither is it disease like gout
