WHEN Grant left the White House,
w freed from public care for the
first time In 10 years, his uppermost
wish was to visit his daughter, Mrs.
Nellie Sartoris, in England, where he
was surprised by the public welcome
that greeted his arrival. He was ''puz-
xled to find himself parsonage" said
James Russell Lowell. But his politi-
cal friends were quick to see in his
triumphs abroad a chance to restore
their own prestige at home, and they
urged him on until he had completed
tour of the world, which remains
perhaps, unequaled in brilliance As
he went his way from London to
Tokyo, emperors and kings honored
him.
Coming home after a three years
absence, he weakly yielded to the
politicians who we're using his name
In a desperate adventure to regain
power for the "Stalwart" faction Of
the Republican party. But the unwrit.

MILK IMPORTANT ITEM IN
DIET HINTS FOR CHILDREN.

A good breakfast to start them Off
milk, cornmeal mush, apple sauce. 1t
makes them fit for school and fit for
play, say home economics specialists of
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture.
Milk, and plenty of it, makes them
grow-a quart each day, if possible.
Put it on their cereal and in their cups.
Make it into soups, puddings or Gus
tards for them.
Whole milk is best, of course, but
skim milk is good if there is . little
butter in their meals. Cottage cheese
is good. too.
No coffee or tea-not even a taste.
Leave them for the grown-ups. Milk,
cocoa, not too strong, and fruit juices
are the drinks for children, and plenty
of water always
Fruit they enjoy, and they need it,
too-baked apples, apple sauce, thor
oughly ripe bananas, prunes, oranges,
etc. Give them vegetables, fresh or
canned Plenty of fruits and vegeta-
bles tend to prevent constipation. Use
proper food and do not depend upon
laxatives. The youngsters can't be woll
unless the bowels move regularly. Don t
let them hurry off in the morning with
out attending to this duty.
Other foods child needs: Good
bread, whole-wheat bread, corn bread,
well-cooked oatmeal, corn meal and rice
are all excellent for children. They
help make strong boys and girls. Fats
they must have, too. Mono is better
than butter. Besides the butter on the
bread, do not overlook the ia on the
meats, or in gravies or other foods.
An egg is good, too, or they may have
little meat or fish, but they do not
need much.
Sweets are good for them-the right
ones at the right time. Dates, stewed
fruits, simple puddings and sugar cook
les are especially good. Give sweets at
meal times.
Between meals let them have bread
and butter, cracker, or fruit. These
will not spoil the appetite, and sweets
will.

BEANS VERY POPULAR
AS ECONOMICAL FOOD
They Are One Of Cheapest
Sources of Protein.
Used Chiefly A. a Meat Substitute and
q oupful Equals In Food Value q
Quarter Of q Pound Of juicy
elrtoin Steak.

Beans, though higher in price than
they were several years ago. are still
among the cheaper foods that can be
bought today. They are one Of the
cheapest sources Of protein and may
be used to help supply this valuable
food constituent In the diet, according
to United States Department Of Agri-
culture specialists. They are known
chiefly as a meat substitute dish. A
cup Of baked beans. In which a third
Of a cup Of dried beans are used, fur
nishes az much protein as quarter
of a pound of sirloin steak. Obviously
the third of a cup Of dried beans is
much the cheaper to purchase. A
pound of beef as purchased usually
has some refuse In the form Of skin,
bone and gristle, while a pound of
beans has practically no refuse. From
this standpoint, therefore, as well as
the difference in price, the housewife
who finds her wood allowance grow
ing low will do well to use beans often
in place Of meat.
The cheaper legumes, beans, peas,
ETC., should not be depended upon as
the sole source Of protein for great
length Of time. Milk, cheese, eggs,
or meat should furnish some Of the
protein In a weeks dietary.
There is little difference in food val
ue among the many common varieties
Of beans, with the exception Of the
soy bean, which is richer in protein
and In fat than the ordinary beans.
All legumes should be thoroughly
cooked. Long cooking at moderate
heat Is best.
A favorite and standard recipe for
baking beans is the following: Soak
the beans over night, then rinse and
boil them until the skins crack when
blown upon, but the beans are not
quite soft. Use one-half pound of
salt pork to one quart Of beans. Cut
the pork nearly through the rind and
add before boiling the beans. After
boiling, pour into the bean pot. in
sert the pork, the cut rind being level
with the top of the beans. Add II
pint of water used for boiling hav-
ing first mixed with the water tea
spoonful of salt and two tablespoons Of
molasses. The water should come about
to the surface of the contents Bake
six to eight hours, adding more water
when needed to prevent the top drying
or burning. Beans, when done. should
