LIVES AS SIMPLE CITIZEN
King Albert of Belgium Cares Little
for Pomp That Usually Sur q
rounds a Monarch.

Among the fisher folk of La Panne,
where King Albert of Belgium spends
his summers, he is known as the old
fashioned king. He lives in a small
cottage of unpretentious design, circled
by homes of Antwerp and Belgian mer-
chants much more kingly. The royal
palace and park, at Ostend. where his
uncle, Leopold II, spent the summers
In gay frivolity, and the gayer resorts
of the French coast, have little of in

monarch. The dress of the king in

Corduroy is a kind of cotton velvet
which may be washed providing it is
not rubbed, squeezed, or ironed. If it
is made up at home, stitch the seams
with a loose stitch to prevent quicker
ing when washed. Before laundering
babies coats or other lined garments
loosen the lining at the bottom to
avoid bagging. Use solution of mild
soap, or for dark colors which may
streak or fade solution of soap bark.
Souse the garment up and down in a
soapy water, changing the water as it
becomes soiled. Rinse in several clear
waters until no more dirt and soap
come out. Hang the garment up drip
ping wet and SO that it will dry in
the shape in which it is worn. Dry in
the wind if possible. When dry brush
briskly to raise the nap.

PLENTY OF MILK IS
BEST FOR CHILDREN
viii Counterfeit Host of Errors
in Their Raising.
Many Milk Stations Have Been Es-
tabIished in Poorer Sections of
Various Cities-Service APP
preciated by Parents.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Plenty of milk for child will coun-
teract a host of other errors in his
raising. Many little Tony or Marie
in this country has parents who be-
lieve baths, even Saturday night ones,
are superfiuous to their offspring.
Fried peppers, coffee and other indi-
gestibles are often given these young
sters before they have teeth. But in
spite of dirt and unsuitable food, if
they are given plenty of clean sweet
milk most of them will live and thrive,
authorities now agree.
That all children may have this nec-
esSary food milk stations have been
established in the poorer sections of
many cities. In these stations clean
milk may be had at a lower price than
the milkman can deliver it to the
home. The increased amount sold at
these stations is good proof that their
services are appreciated by the peO-
pie living near them.
In a Hartford Comm milk station,
when it was first established, one year
ago, 80 quarts a day was the average
sale. This year the average daily
amount bought over its counters is 235
quarts. This station is in an Italian
section where a health survey last
year showed 20 per cent of the chill
dren in fair health, 10 per cent at a
standstill, and 70 per cent undernOur-
ished. A survey this year showed 70
per cent of these children in fair
health, 10 per cent at a standstill, and
20 per cent undernourished. The Hart
ford health authorities credit the
marked improvement to the milk sta
ton there.
1t provides plenty of milk at a rea-
sonable price and also educates the
people to its value as a food for chill
dren. Some educational work is done
by means of posters. Lectures and
demonstrations on use of milk are also
given by the home demonstration
agent supervised by the United States
department of agriculture and the
state college.

No more can 1t be said that the lot
of the farmers wife is ''woman's work
is never done," for the modern farm
home contains all the comforts and
conveniences that will be found in the
average city home. The reason the
farm home of ten or fifteen years ago
did not have running water and electric
light and power was because they were
not obtainable. But that is not true
now. Both running water, hot and
cold, and electric lights are becoming
part of the equipment of the homes on
the farms, as the gas engine has solved
the problem of power for these cOI-
veniences.
COmfort-giving and labor-saving home
equipment are just as much part of
the modern home as the roof or the
floors. No one in city would live In
a house that did not have water. or
light, either gas or electric. They go
with the home. The cost of individual
electric light and water plants up TO
a few years ago was prohibitive for
most farmers. But. American inven-
ton has changed things on the farm.
An electric light plant does not cost
much nowadays. Neither does plant

value. One cupful of oatmeal may make
four cupfuls of porridge, but the four
would yield no more nourishment than

of flour have about the same food

The soy bean, long and favorably
known in the Orient, is now becoming
a common foodstuff in the United
States. This bean, unlike ordinary
beans, contains much oil and no
starch. To make the flour, the oil Is
pressed out of the beans and the re-
sulting pressed cake can then be read
lily ground into meal. This meal or
-four possesses higher nutritive value
than does wheat flour and more fat
lin fact, so much fat that no extra
shortening is needed when 1t is used.
