soft airs, and let me tell you, Miss, your
tears do deal of harm sometimes crying
every little while as you do.
April began to cry harder than ever
and sObbed that he was terrible boy;
that he was so rude she would go back to
bed and stay there until he was gone for
good
March Wind was mischievous fellow,
so he hid around the corner and amused
himself making little whirls of sand. but
keeping very still.
His sister, thinking he had gone for
good, let her mother finish dressing her
in her pretty clothes and went forth with
gentle tread
But the Watchful March Wind saw
her and no sooner was she gently tossing
her finery of green and other spring colors
than out he burst and howled and pulled
at her skirts until she began cry.
Mother Earth tried in vain stop
the dis urbancc, and she was ashamed
Of her son; but he was beyond her CON
troll He pulled and he tore at poor little
April until some of her new clothes were
quite in rags.
With ApriFs tears and Marchs rough
ways Mother Earth was all upset and
not until her daughter sweet May, was
ready 10 60 forth dld she ieei happy again.
Then She settled comfortably IN her
bed, for she knew that her daughters,
MAY. June, July and August, would not
quarrel, but each. dressed in her gayly
colorcd clothes, would be a credit to her.
IF March had some Of April's ways
and April had little Of her brother March
Winds courage and did not weep SO much
/ am sure they would be better children, ("
sigh q Mother Earth after May had gone
forth. But | suppose they will always
be that way though / must say that
March is worse some years than he is
others"
And so when YOU see the April showers
coming down fast from the sky you may
know that March is bothcring his sister
April and they are having quarrel, which
each time grieves Mother Earth much
more than they know.

Answer. Bruises in wood are difficult
things to handle Dents may be filled up
and covered over. Scratches may be re-
moved But bruises can be treated only
by the following method and then not
always successfully: Moisten the wood
by laying wet blotting paper over the
bruised part, then produce steam by
holding hot iron close, but not on, the
wet blotting paper The moisture swells
the wood and an even surface should
result. But, as ] say, sometimes this
fails and only an expert can remedy the
trouble. =

spoonful Of flour, which had teen
mixed with two tablespoonsful of
water, was added, together with the
well beaten yolks of three eggs and
about one-fourth of a teaspoonful of
salt. 1t was cooked carefully until
it reached a creamy stage and the
spoon was coated. 1t was then
cooled and one teaspoonful of vanilla
added. The mixture was partly
frozen, the beaten whites of eggs
were added and it was then frozen
stiff. The flavor was distinctive and
gave product between a cream and
a sherbet, most refreshing and not

If you do not wish to freeze ice

7 he Milk in
be COCOanut

There is still another step in ad-
vance. To-day you can purchase
the cocoanut already grated and
canned in its own milk with the
sweetness of the natural fruit in
the prepared product. 1t can we'll
be called a treat of the tropics. "
This is very excellent product for
pies, cakes and candies, as we'll as
in combination with fruit.
Some consider it preferable to
the sweetened cocoanut because the
natural oily flavor of the nut has
not been obscured by the addition
of sugar. All the natural sweet
ness Of the fruit is there. In using
1t in cooking, however, it is neces-
sary in most cases to dry it out
slightly so that no undue moisture
will be added in a recipe.
The fresh-grated cccoanut is high
in moisture, being put up in it's own
milk, but it owes its freshness and
favor to this fact. Since cocoanut
milk is SO per cent water, and the
cocoanut itself has IA per cent of
moisture, it is not surprising to find
81 per cent of water in the can with
% per cent of fat. AS the cocoanut
has so per cent of fat, we have here
about half milk and half cocoanut,
and five ounces out of the cans con-
tents are liquid, which confirms this
idea. 1t would seem that less milk

Let peanut butter come to the
rescue as the "spread for bread. "
One tablespoonful yields 100 calories
and costs only the tiniest fraction of
cent. Add a tablespoonful OF
cream or mayonnaise to this amount.
place lettuce leaf between thin
slices Of whole wheat bread and
spread with it, and you have an
excellent "balanced' sandwich.
Give it to the children after school
instead of the proverbial "butter and
sugar" and they will be just as well
pleased and much better nourished.
It's fine builder and energizer for
the youthful perpetual motion" ma
chine.
Always have the peanut butter
thinned down with something. other
wise it is too stiff and sticks to the
roof of the mouth uncomfortably.
The addition of milk, cream or thin
mayonnaise or a little bacon fat re-
lieves this and makes it spread very
nicely. Crisp bacon placed on a pea
nut butter sandwich is excellent.
especially if combined with water
cress or lettuce.
Shredded cabbage combined with
small amount of chill sauce is also
good with peanut butter used as the
spread instead Of butter. A few
stuffed chopped olives may be used
IN place Of the cabbage if preferred.
A little peanut butter spread on
toast before Welsh rarebit is poured
over it is as good as it is unusual.
And have you ever spread a thin
layer of it on cake before covering
with a White Mountain frosting ?
The combination is very pleasing.
Any fondant spread with peanut
butter and rolled up and cut in

Nut loafs, biscuits and cookies, as

A small amount blended into cream

Some miniature pastry turnovers
were made in the Institute kitchen
this week, and they were just as at
tractive as they were good tasting.
Leftover bits of pastry were used.
They were cut into the shape of
round tarts and spread with thin
layer Of peanut butter, which had
been moistened with a little cream.
This was then folded into a semi
circle and the rounded side was
pressed with fork to form a fancy
edge. A few pricks were made on
the top also so that the pastry
would not blister.

Important Points in Operation
Lighting is simple and quick, and
the control Of the flame equally so,
while you also get the hot under
the pot flame characteristic of the
wickless stoves. You turn up the
wick as far as it will go (no respon-
sibility rests On you), by raising the
set OF three concentric chimneys.
using the porcelain handles, which
rest IN notch and leave the hands
free for lighting. There is also a
side handle for fitting each of the
chimneys to one side. AS the four
hooks that keep the wick from being
turned too high divide it into four
sections, each one should be lighted
from the match, as it takes the flame
some time to pass over these division
lines.
In three and one-half minutes after
lighting the flame was burning level
with the cooking top. This is about
halt the time that it takes aAwick
less type stove to get under wav. but
longer than is needed for the ordi-
nary lamp wick type. Practically no
SCOT forms, and every gradation of
adjustment of the flame can easilv
be obtained from only fraction of
an inch to 5 inches above the CRATES
or IL inches above the wick. Under
all these conditions thcre s main
tanned hot blue flame THAT docs
not SCOT.
Efficiency Tests
Both oven and top burners were
tfled out, using theoretical and prac-
tlcal tests. With the fame at maxi
mum height 6 inches above tho
srate)' quart of water (in a COW
cred aluminium kettle, inches in
dlameter), was raised from 79 to
2l2 degrees (boiling) in seven min
utes. Considering the oil consumed
(less than half a pint an hour). an
efficiency Of 3o.6 per cent is irdi-
Gated, which is 10 per cent better
than some wick stoves and only a
few per cent less than the perform
ance of the best wicElcss types.
AS a matter Of fact, the wick acts
more as an evaporator for supplying
vapor, than like wick proper. No
combustion takes place at the edge.

\ Concentrated
Grape Juice

a TRUE concentrate is made

Is thicker and richer, but in the

Sometimes we come across CONNER
