THE GOOD IN VEGETABLES.

Probably you do not have to be told
that there is much goodness IN vegetables
that comes off when you boil them and
that when YOU drain this of and eat only
the solid part that remains you are cheat
ing Yourself out of something that Nature
intended YOU TO get.
Of SO great importance rs this that doc
tors tell us that when cooking vegetables
for children we should boil them In small
amount Of water and then use all the
water in which they have been boiled.
Sometimes it is impossible to do this.
Then the water should be drained Off
and saved and used the next day. Oh
course IL should be kept covered and IN
cool place until used.
Then il may be made into dciicious
soup bv thickcning It with oornstarch
mixed up with little cold water. Let
this cook fully FIVE minutes IN order to
cook the cornstarch thoroughly. Then
add milk to bring it to the desired quantity
about half milk and half vegetable broth
is good proportion. DO not COOK the
milk but bring it just to the temperature
at which you wish TO serve the soup
A dish that most children like may be
made by thickcning this vegetable stock
10 the consistency Of thick cream with
corn starch More cornstarch and less
milk should be used. Now have ready
pieces of well dried bread. Butter them
slightly and pour over this mixture, max
inc a sort Of vegetable cream toast. This
makes a palatable and inexpensive lun-
chcon dish for grown folks as well. 1t may
be made from almost any sort Of vegetable,
carrots. spinach, chard, celery, beng
among them.
Ii YOU wish TO have these vegetable
stocks taste their best bc sure that the
vegetables are absolutely fresh and be
sure too that you cook them in perfectly
lcean well aired dishes II you boil one
| vegetable after another in n dish without
airing it it may carry about 1t the flavor
Of medley of vegetables, no one being
clear and delicious

GOOD HOUSEKEEPING.

a buff color and Is not bad TO look at, but
Of course does not help to carry out the
color scehme rs the old-blue one would

Is there anything TO be done In the way
of dveing it, We had TO wait so long 10
get this one because of freight conditions
that we don I want to bother TO exchange II
and wait rs long again. The rug is Viii
ton with . small pattern.
Answer-Irterior decorators have achiev-
ed wonderful effects with rugs by apply
ing oil paint mixed with naphtha. Just
buy a pint Of naptha and tube of the
regular artists oil paint of the shade you
want and soften the paint with the naphtha-
Apply il to the rug with an inch-wide

parts of the pattern or YOU might do whole

Answer-Make a shirred cover for

COMMERCIAL COLLEGE COURSES.

Women are beginning to demand more
definite training for future business posi-
tions from their colleges. Unless the col
leges can cooperate more closely with
the demands made by the world OF b,isl-
ness, the colleges are going to sufier.
"a lot of college girls come out into
the world thinking that they should be
snapped up at big salary just for the
asking. They arc trained, they know how
TO concentrate, they have knowledge OF
various subjects, including business in the
abstract. The trouble is they have had no
special training in a given direction
unless they can afford to take post
graduate courses, and that means two
more years Of studying" That is the
complaint that was made to me by
woman connected with Bureau that
seeks to place women.
"The college woman has to begin at the
beginning years behind as to time.
There is a tremendous demand Tor
expert saleswomen, and the college thit
would prepare women definitely for such
work would find itself mighty popular.
Great commercial success is possible
along this line, but it requires first-class
training and experience. The college ought
TO be able to provide the training.
More academic training is not enough
to make q woman good private secretary,
nor togivc her the position of head of de-
partment in bank or a corporation. Her
brain is trained, but there has been no
specialization. And more and more the
fact that this is the age of the specialist
is being made clear.
A college ought to turn a girl out CAP
able of running a cafeteria, managing an
advertising business or selling an automo-
bile, instead of just as an expert IN econom-
les. The college work is excellent as a
starter, but the woman who has only that
must not expect to command large
salary. nor to find herself in position
that seems anywhere near her ft. She
will have to put in two or three years OF
experience MS worker first.

Mrs. Coon was nice little creature
and she did all the work, as a good wife
should, and took care of the four babies,
but she grew tired of having Mr.. Coon
go out every night and leave her alone
and never bring home anything for break
fast.
So one night after he had gone she
took the four babies and moved to an
other part of the woods, and when Mr..
Coon came home the next morning he
found his house empty.
He did not bother at first, for he thought
they were up early and out for walk,
but when it came dinner time and there
was no dinner and supper time and no
supper he began to sit up ard take notice.

NEXT WEEK WILL
Be FOR SCOUTS
Boys Organization
Celebrate Tenth
Birthday

AS a part of its tenth birthday
celebration the Boy Scouts Of
America will observe the week COM
mencing Memorial Day, May 80, and
ending June s, nationally as Boy
Scout week. This will be a charac.
teristically outdoor celebration and
q program Of outdoor activities will
be carried out in the 1900 and
more communities Z where scout
troops are in operation.
It would be impossible to estimate
the tremendous impetus which the
Boy Scout movement has given to
outdoor life and outdoor activities
among American boys. During the
ten years of its existence in this
country it has led tens of thousands
Of lads away from city streets and
set them hiking, camping, following
woodland trails, learning to know
the trees and stars and birds by
name, to find their way by night or
day with or without a compass, to
choose the best kind of camp site,
to set up camp in the right way, to
signal messages by semaphore from
tower to tower or by heliograph
from hill to hill, to build camp fires
and cook their own meals over them.
They learn to think quickly, to OBJ
serve accurately, to look out for
themselves and others in ordinary
occasions and in special emergencies.
They are prepared in every sense,
prepared to enjoy life to the utmost,
to be clean, vigorous, healthy, fresh
air animals. Probably more boys
have spent more days and nights in
the open in the past ten years than
in all the past history Of this country
since pioneer days-a fact very
largely due to scout influence and
training.
The activities of Boy Scout week
will include outdoor rallies, over
night hikes, barbecues, demonstra-
ton camps and competitions in out
door scouting features.
Sunday, May 80, the opening day
of the celebration will include special
services in churches of all denom-
nations, scouts participating. Pro-
grams of scouting activities will be
carried out during the week, Friday,
June 4, will be. observed as hike and
camp day and Saturday, June S, will
be National Scout Field Day, with
competitions in tent pitching, fire
building, wall scaling, signalling,
tower annd bridge building and
demonstrations of first aid and life
saving.
The great objective Of Boy Scout
week will be to give the scouts
themselves good time and to rouse
