Chinese music Is not written. The
words OF some of the famous songs
have been preserved, but the music
has been handed down from father to
son for generations that go far back
before the day of the troubadours.
When music is played it is played ac-
cording to the memory Of the musi-
clan and his ideas Of Interpretation. A
musician varies the performance as
his best judgement dictates, and the
strings, reeds or brass may break in

Changes Of major importance In the
present war risk insurance act EN-
bodied in the Sweet bill which 1t Is be
licved will influence thousands Of ex-
service men to continue IN peace the
government insurance carried during

mittec, each state branch and local

sage of this bill. The four important
amendments to the war risk act pro-
posed ate these:
First-The payment of converted
insurance, at the election of the in
sured, in one lump sum or in thirty
six ar more instalmcnis. This Is gov
eminent insurance which has been
converted into straight life insurance,
twenty or thirty-ycar endowment or

Third-An increase IN the basis of

five dollars for total temporary dis.
ability and a hundred dollars for total

A striking example of community

Before the Farmville association

Average hens eggs will weigh

the packing and wrapping used. If
the container be very light one and
the eggs small, the parcel may fall

tanning a dozen eggs will exceed two

:. VEGETABLES AND FRUITS
:. NEEDED In CHlLD'S DIET

:. :. :. :. : =. :. : :. :. :. = :. = = :.
Both vegetables and fruits supply
the body with iron. lime and other
mineral matter, and some protein
and body fuel as well as mild acids.
They are particularly necessary in
the diet of children. They should be
served at least once day. as they
help to keep the bowels in good con-
dition Vegetables may be used as
fiavoring for soups and steWs. may
be added to milk or meat stews. or
served with meat gravy. If gravy IS
used, do not have it too fat nor make
il with scorched fat.
Young children may be given the
young and tender parts of celery and
lettuce, satisfactory way of serving
them being in the form of sandwiches.
For this purpose salt slightly and
chop or cut the celery into small
pieces.
Wash all vegetables with great
care, whether served raw or cooked.
Scrub large vegetables. such as pota-
toes and carrots, with brush. Greens
should be washed leaf by leaf under
running water. until free from grit
and visible dirt In the latter case
any sand which clings to them is like
ly to sink. To prevent it from again
getting on the vegetables lift them
from the water instead of pouring
the water off.
Serve most vegetables when cooked
as separate dish. either steamed,
boiled, baked or stewed If the sup
ply Of fresh vegetables is not gener-
Gus, use with them the juice in which
they are cooked. as far rs possible,
or put it into soups or stews.
Experience has shown that vege-
tables. particularly green vegetables
are at their best when cooked until
tender. but not until completely wilt
ed Spinach requires from 20 to 80
minutes cooking.
Vegetables may be served either
quite simply, seasoned with salt OF
with little milk, cream. or butter
to improve or vary the flavor. OIL
NAV be used to dress green's instead
Of butter. These simple methods are
better for children than complicated
ones like frying or scalloping. Fol
the smallest children, chop finely such
vegetables % green's. and n thu
tougher portions OF 9th r vegetables
such AZ the skins of green peas, are
found to disagree with child. re
move them by putting the cooked
vegetable through q sieve. Do not
give small children such vegetables
as raw radishes or cucumbers. which
might easily be swallowed in large
pieces and not digest we'll.
1 Fruits are also very important il
the child's diet. They supply milo
acids, and they are important fol
their flavor, for their laxative effects
and no doubt for other reasons This
