Questions for the Mothers Diet and
Behavior Need Much Supervising

a RE you as eager TO see that
~ your children get the sort of
food that they ought to have
as you are to see that they do not
get that which is bad for them?
Sometimes parents are so eager to
prevent their children from having
between meals. from eating candy
and unripe fruit. pastry and too
much meat that they do not take
enough pains to see that they get
what they should have. The very
fact that your child leases for
things that he should not have is
perhaps an indication that he IS
not having quite all that his grow
ing system demands.
Do you plan each meal for your
children ahead of time, asking
yourself whether 1t Is well
balanced and satisfying? This
question should especially be asked
about dinner, which should be the
hearty meal of the day. Never let
a day pass without including in
your children's diet some fresh
fruit or vegetables.
Do you blame or punish your
children for faults which you know
are due to faults in diet. lack of
sleep or some irregularity in
regime for which they are not di-
rectly responsible?

back porch than AT the front.
Don't be content with cinders
which never look neat or a gravel
walk which needs constant raking
TO keep in good condition.
One thing that makes for tidi-
ness in the backyard is to have
some good place TO keep garbage
and other refuse containers out of
sight and out of reach Of cats and
dogs. 1t is often possible to have
"a place beneath the back porch

swings on a hinge and fastens with
catch.
Some people have the yard i'm
mediately behind their kitchen en-
closed in a lattice that separates
1t from the rest of the yard. This
may be attractive but it always Of
fers a temptation to servants or
housewife to let the backyard be-
come untidy simply because it is
not exposed TO view.

Open Air Privacy

NOMETHING that every one
- who lives in a house can have
is some little space where she
can be outdoors and still enjoy
privacy. However this is some.
thing that a good many Americans
do not enjoy.
Old-world gardens were usually
built with high stone or brick
walls about them that have priva-
cy. These are expensive and usual
ly not in keeping with our sur
roundings. But there are quick
growing shrubs and vines that may
be planted at small expense that
will shield section of your lawn
or garden.
The veranda built on the side or
back Of the mouse has the ad-
vantage of being less exposed 10
the street. However it is possible
to shield a section of the front
porch without detracting from the
attractive appearance OF your
house. Many persons do not like
TO have a thick vine growing on
the structure OF the veranda be-
cause 1t tends to rot the wood.
However. you can have a lattice
erected at small expense on which
your vines may grow. Lattices al
ready constructed may be bought
1 for less than three dollars.
/ A group Of tall shrubs or small!
evergreen trees planted a few feet
away from the veranda give priva-
cy without taking away light and
ventilation.
II your garden consists Of mere
ly small back yard" where there
is little sun you can still have your

These may be planted in boxes OF
tubs.
II you have no veranda often an
awning attached TO the side of tn
house will give you all the protec.
ton from the sun you need. Place
Under this awning some chairs IL
wooden benches and you have :
little nook where you can spend
hours of the warm weather in the
! open.

There are many vegetable mace

simply in appetizing combinations

some sGvory combinations: string

at the stem end, and after the fill
ing is put in the top is put back.
The seeds and pith must be re-
moved from the peppers. OF course,
/ or else they will be too hot to eat.
Potato salad is occasionally deli
cious. 1t can be made in various
ways. One way is to slice the new
potatoes. boiled just until done,
very thin. and to flavor them
slightly with onion, then to dress
them with oil and vinegar and to
serve with mayonnaise on lettuce.
Another way is to mix the pota-
toes, diced. with half their guam
tity of diced celery and plenty OF
mayonnaise. Diced green pepper
about a cup to four cups of diced
potatoes, makes another good ad-
dition to potato salad, One hard
boiled egg for each potato, mixed
with French dressing, and served
on crisp watercress, gives another
good variety of potato salad.

good salads at their fingers ends.
Remember, the dinner salad, es-
peecially in warm weather, should
be simple. Lettuce or any other
salad green, washed, crisped on
the ice and dressed with oil and
vinegar, is always sufficient. Some
times the vinegar can be variously
favored - stepped with a few
cloves or some minced parsley or
slice Of onion or some nasturtium
leaves for a few hours and then
strained. Sometimes little
Roquefort cheese and paprika can
be added to the French dressing
Sometimes sliced cucumbers o.
tomatoes or few heads of aspara-
gus, some sliced radishes, mince
peppers or tiny new onions can BE-
served on the lettuce. But the
summer dinner salad should al.

For luncheon the more elaborate
salads are reserved, and as these

summer luncheons, they may be as

What Gives Them Colds?

Do you try to trace each cold or
other sort of upset back TO its
source? Such disorders do not
come out OF the nowhere into the
now. II you can find no apparent
cause for even minor disorders
then you should consult a good
doctor because they may be symp-
toms OF some deep-seated malad-
justment that should be attended
TO.
When you have punished a child
for misbehavior do you watch TO
see whether the punishment &C

instead of trying TO vary the type

ALittle Ice Cream

NFTEN it is possible to make
J delicious warm-weather des-
serts with the addition OF
only a very little ice cream for

need TO allow one quart 70 each six

may stretch it out so that a pint
will suffice as many persons

your table only with the things

the children. This may seem like
a very drastic method. But when
you look through your cook book

" Sell the Butcher

deal with the sort of butcher who
will give you just this. Because
not one woman in ten knows the
names of the cuts of meat or

pearance enough TO tell this for
herself
But even the honest and reliable
butcher cannot give you what you
want if you do not tell him de-
finitely. And you need not be an

doubtless the question was even

idea that underlies this little sys-
tenn is that II is desirable to have
the different sorts Of meat in rota-

are sure to come out with pork or
ham twice a week and that is a
bad idea especially in warm

ways OF cooking each OF the vari-

vary according TO the taste Of the

have more often than others be-

railway shop crafts were in session
this morning. In what was heralded
as a peace meeting intended to eff
feet a new policy for the shopmen.
B.. NJ. Jewell. head of the federation
shop crafts, said there were two
courses OF action to be considered and
that announcement OF the decision
would come at the close of the meet

of 80 members. probably tomorrow.
Mr.. Jewell first went into session
with yhe officials of the six striking
shop crafts. known as the executive
council. At the close of that session.
the general policy committee was
scheduled to convene. The action to
be considered was closely guarded
and Mr.. Jewell refused to make
known any details of the program to
be placed before the union leaders.
The executive council Of which Mr..
Jewell is a member, comprises the
presidents of six striking snop crafts,
William IL. Johnston. of the i~nterna-
tional association of mschinists; j. J..

is a bill to enioin criminal acts by

The bill. Mr.. Richberg said. is based
on an assertion that the defendants
are under legal duty to obey the

There is nothing in the Transpor-
