Have You an
Herb Garden?
WHERE Is no more practical use

THERE Is no more practical use
for q tiny patch of ground
than to make OF 1t a hero
garden, q patch Of taste and smell
to gladden. tho soul. The great
secret of foreign cookery and de-
partment In which the American
cook is too often lacking in flavor
ing. particularly for sauces. The
French or Italian chef uses quanti-
ties of herbs, dried for fresh. often
to add tang or zest to vegetable
which has no very pronounced flavor
Of its own.
Stuffing for fowls is dependent for
its palatableness upon the herbs
which flavor 1t. Three or four
herbs enter into some Of the dress
ings an accomplished chef will turn
out.
Only a few plants are needed of
each herb. II Is q great convenience
to have them handy In the kitchen.
for when they are needed they are
needed badly. A fresh homegrown
supply is worth double the dried
product obtainable from the grocery
store.
Sweet bash. = favorite Of French
cooks for soups, stews, dressings
and sauces; marjoram, used for the
same purposes; thyme, often used
in combination with basil and
marjoram or alone or with sage;
chervil. a fioring akin to parsley;
mint, to keep the lamb from being
lonely and to cook with green peas
or to make into jelly (no longer
for juleps); summer savory to flavor
soups or stews and to cook with
string beans; sage, the Inevitable
herb of the Thanksgiving turkey, and
IL worse comes to worse. disable as
a hair dye; annual lavender, the
dried blossoms of which make scent
bags to be placed among the linen
for the dainty fresh fragrance 1t i'm
parts; a few plants Of dill for the
pickles; all these in a small space
may be grown readily, and all ex-
cept the thyme will grow from seed.
The leaves may be dried and put
away in cans, boxes or paper sacks
and some housewives merely cut
down the whole plant and hang ii
to dry, protecting it from dust.
A few plants of tarragon will
furnish leaves for flavoring the
salad vinegar and this aromatic
herb is also used in cookery.

the body
Uses Meat
By Brice Belden, M. D

~ BOTEINS are made up OF chem
ical units just as words are
made up of letters. These
chemical units are known as amino
acids.
When the protein, which largely
makes up meat, is eaten, the digest
i've juices break II up into its
amino acids. This step is a neces-
sary preliminary to absorption and
assimilation. as protein cannot be
absorbed as such. Protein intro
duced directly into the blood acts
like a poison, whereas the amino
acids may be SO introduced with
impunity.
The stomach and the small intes-
tine may be regarded as factories
in which protein is prepared for
tissue building.
In the cells of the body the
process Just described is reversed.
that is, instead of the breaking
down of protein into amino-acids.
the latter are Joined together to
again form the proteins of which
our tissues are so largely COM
posed.
Just as the same letters will give
you different words. according TO
the arrangement of the letters, and
just as the same bricks will give
you different houses, depending
upon the arrangement of the bricks,
so the amino-acids will give you
different proteins, according to how
they are arranged, and according to
tissue requirements. In order TO
construct tissue protein, the body
cells select those amino acids they
need and discard the rest.
1t will thus be seen that this
breaking down of proteins into their
units is a necessary step, since the
proteins built by the body cells are
not the same kind as those eaten.
The only reply to this is that
nature insists upon presenting our
food supply in the shape of COM
pick proteins. which have to be con-
verted as described, which, it must
be confessed, is practically eauiva-
lent to saying that we do not know.
At any rate, the digestive tract is a
highly efficient converting plant.

child nature, since it is con-
tinually In the act Of becom-
ing different" says v. Rasmussen
in his new work on child psychol-
ogy. This remark applies to the
development In the first four years
of child life. The author is en-
phatic in his opinion that little chill
dren should, as far as possible, be
allowed to follow their own way.

1t might be natural to think that
the child's imagination is most

II it Is fed from an early age with
tales OF wonder and fantastic ad-

standing. says Mr.. Rasmussen.

of 1t is that there seems no posi-
BILE way out"
This was one letter-there was
another one from q college friend.
one of the brightest students we
knew. She wrote delightful poems,
many OF which were set to music
and netted her a comfortable in
come. Then she married. And she
had many of the luxuries Of life.
But, by one of those inexplainable
jests OF fortune. her husband lost
every dollar he possessed. A min
ing firm In Alaska offered him a
job. For two years this woman
has been keeping house in a shack.
HOMELY PHILOSOPHY.

but l have always boosted that I

herself to circumstances. And 30.
out here in the wilds, when the old
Indian / had engaged failed to ap-

copy of Little Women by Louisa
M. Alcott, and turned to those lines

Queen of my TUBS. I merrily sing
AS the white foaA rises high.
/ happily wash ana rinse and wiring
And fasten the clothes to dry.
Then out in the free fresh air they

Under the sunny sky.

To labor at day by day;
As ! happily wash and rinse and

But hands. you must work your

REAL EDUCATION.
Charming little poem, isn't IL?
And 1t contains just the dearest,
homeliest bit Of philosophy. 1t gets
the mind thinking right. This seems
to be the keynote to the situation
OF which my correspondent COM
plains. She isn't thinking right
when she believes she has been well
educated. Her education has been
faulty. She Is suffering from what
has been a terrible mistake in view
ing education by the unthinking OF
the last generation.
The mistake consists in thinking
that all physical-labor is mental,
low and beneath the dignity of one
who has accomplished in the way
of education a certain amount Of
book learning. Real education, as
my friend in Alaska believes, pre-
pares one to At herself to circum-
stances, no matter what these cir
cumstances may be.

parties, but IL she had a steady beau
it is perfectly proper.

Advice to
LOvelOrn
BY Beatrice Fairfax.
WHICH OF THE TwOs


DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am twenty-five, going about
with a girl of eighteen. l was
invited to her home recently and
introduced to her mother, a widow,
pretty and about thirty-seven' l
am in love with the mother, more
SO than with the daughter. Would
you please advise me how / could
propose to the mother without hurt
ing the feelings of the daughter.
II. d.
My advice would be to think first
Of proposing to a woman so much
older. When you are thirty-fve she
will be forty-seven. The differ
ence in age is too great. You are
in love with love. Better wait DO
fore you propose to anyone.
