Girls Practice Cookery

To make sure that the girls in the
Eome-making clubs, supervised by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture and the Connecticut State Agri-
cultural College, are unable to put to
practical use what they have learned
in the blubs about buying, cooking
and serving food, their leaders have
organized supper clubs"
These clubs meet twice a month
at the local leaders home. At the
first meeting of the month we'll
balanced meal is planned with the
help of the leaders. Each girl is as
signed a certain part of the meal, for
which she is responsible.
At the second meeting she brings
the material and prepares, cooks, and
serves her part of the supper Adults
are asked to these suppers, and the
invitations are highly priced. The
usual menu consists of meat, potatoes,
one vegetable, hot bread, sometimes
salad, dessert, and a hot, drink So
far, the average cost per person served
has been "a to 26 cents.
After the meal the club girls meet
in a group and discuss and criticise
the various articles on the menu and
the serving This constructive criti-
cism has been found to be very valu-
able in making each supper a little
better in every way than the preced-
ing one.

Your Body is a
Regular Stove

Did it ever occur to you TO think
of your body as a stove?
1t is, as matter of fact, better
i. e., more eff1cient-stove than any
you can buy, producing much moro
heat for the quantity of fuel CON
sumed.
The fuel, of course, is the food You
eat, which is chemically burned in the
body.
You will have noticed how a crowded
room soon becomes oppressively
warm. Every person in it is con
tributing a not-inconsiderable amount
of heat.
But take the case of a person who
is absolutely still. Quietly approach,
in cool room, somebody who is lying
asleep in bed Lean over the bed, 50
as to be within couple of feet of
the sleeper, and you will perceive that
his or her body is giving off a surpris-
ing amount of heat-a steady radi-
alton, as from stove.
Bedclothes keep you warm by pre-
venting the heat thus radiated from
passing off rapidly. If in cool weather
the heat escapes faster than you give
it off. owing to insufficient covering,
you SILVER and instinctively without
waking, perhaps) pull up an additional
blanket On the other hand, if YOU
have too many bedclothes over you,
the heat given off from your body does
not pass off fast enough, and you feel
uncomfortably warm.
Life, for human being, can be
maintained only within a very few de
grees of temperature. In health, your
body has a temperature of SO 80 de-
grees. If it radiates less heat than
| it produces, your temperature rises
above this normal level, and the doc
tor says you have fever. If it radi-
ates more heat than it produces,
your temperature sinks below the nor
NAL, a condition much more alarming
When you are sick, the first thing
the doctor does is to poke little glass
tube, which he calls a clinical Their
mometer, into your mouth, to ascer
tain your body temperature. 1t is 2
matter of prime Importance.
The body requires a tropical TEN
perature. Why? Well, to start with

like the monkeys, our remote ances
tors dwelt in the tropics.
Even the Eskimo, in the arctic zone
must meet this requirement. To ac
complish it, they clothe their bodice
in heavy furs; and during the lon;
winter of those far northern latitude!

moving about in an ordinary way, is

sufficient to raise the temperature of
ia gallons of water 10 degrees in "a
hours. Which gives notion of the
efficiency of the kind of stove here
considered
A big stove burns more fuel than a
little stove, and produces proper
tionately more heat. Thus a large
and bulky human being radiates more
heat than smaller person. If you
are observant, you may yourself take
note of that in specific instances.

The Shy Sardine

Sardines are very shy fish, and
the nets used to catch them are of a
very fine thread and mesh.
Now fly-fshermen often dull their
gut-casts by soaking them in coffee,
and so making them less visible. Act
ing on similar lines, and sardine fish
ermen have taken to dying their nets
blue, and thus causing them to be
less conspicuous.

Ferocious Dogs in Armor

The use of dogs in warfare is not
modern. In the days of the Romans
the Molossion dogs of the ancient con
querors, with their spiked collars and
suits o fmail, whose primary service
was to hinder the cavalry by attack
ing the shores, were factors in those
old-time encounters.

is always a matter of interest to her,
and an occasion for indulgence once
in a while. Thus, her fashion interest
will be intrigued by the news that
walking sticks for women are coming
back in favor and are of many unusual
styles and sizes.
Ebony canes with white ivory trim
ming are most popular, as they fit in
so well with the favored black and
white sports cloths. All whites and
enameled sticks in colors are also
chosen with the sports clothes in
mind. Malacca walking sticks with
the crook handle please a certain type
of women. Both the tall crooked
sticks and the knobbed variety are
carried This vogue will surely find
its repetition for swagger costumes
at the summer resorts.
Dainty Neckwear
Summer neckwear is especially
dainty, as you would agree if you
could have seen the little ruffled or.
candle collar opening back and front,
the back laced together with picoted
ribbon hanging in long streamers.
We are led to expect checked and
plaid wells for fall, according to q
fashion rumor from the other side.
These are not bold, but done on be-
coming meshes in delicate shadow eff
fects.
bingham Gloves
And now it's Bingham gloves. That
is white or black or white kid gloves
for summer wear, cuffed in black and
white checked bingham. Sometimes
the bingham plaid is only simulated
by stitchings of contrasting color as
in a gauntlet glove with lining striped
by lavender kid and turnedback cor
ners to prove it.
It's a good name for them, "sema-
phore colors" for those bright colcano
red, deep jade and yellow orange
shades in which newest fabrics are
appearing.

PLANS FOR COFFEE TRADE
Steamship Company Schedules
Weekly Sailings.

BALTIMORE, September 13.-Plans
have been completed by the Green Star
line officials for the establishment OF
weekly sailings of steamers from this
port in the South American coffee trade
The schedule will require the operation
of eight ships in this trade. With the
carrying out of the present plan Bait, ,
more will again become the principal
port for the receipt of coffee imports in
this country. This is the position It
held many years ago, when during the
period the large feet Of Baltimore
clippers were engaged in bringing cof-
fee here from South America.
Following this development In steam
ship activities, there will be reopen
ing of numerous other industries con-
nected with the coffee\ trade. such as
the putting into operation Of the grind
ing mills and roasting plants, as but a
small quantity of the coffee received
here by steamers will be shipped in the
green state. The large mai ority of the
coffee will be roasted here and the
greater portion of this will be ground
and packed into tins before being ship
ped to other points.
