Stream in the Atlantic ocean.
For two years Stefansson and his two followers
tasted vegetables. They had seal meat for break
fast lunch and dnner-nothng but seal meat. for
two whole years.
-Dietcians predicted that the three explorers
would Perish unless they had a balanced diet veget-
ablee for carbohydrates mixed with the protein
of meat.
An exclusive meat diet they told stefansoon,
would kill any They said they knew this be-
cause they had tried it guinea pig
How would you like to have nothing to eat ex-
oept seal meat, for so days-two years?
After living seals a week the explorers lost
their appetites. Even the thought of seal made
them gag
Several days without food. Then seal meat began
to smell good. After. that appetites returned and
thenceforth no one hesitated when the cook
whistled.
Lord stratleona builder of the canadian Pacific
railroad for years ate only meal a day. And

Housework Schedule Makes Your
Work Easier,

Here Is a good housework schedule
for the woman who has no maid to
help her. For all days of the week
except Sunday, wash day. ironing
day. and baking day. proceed as fol-
lows: Get breakfast. put up school or
business lunches, clear away dishes
(washing them). then do the order
ing by telephone (for few women
who have all their own housework
to market in person).
The next step is to make up the
bedrooms. School children who are
old enough should be encouraged to
try to make their own beds before
going to school. The man Of the
family, or boys over eleven years of
age. should bring up buckets of coal
from the cellar to help mother. and
carry down ashes Mother cannot be
expected to do it all. She needs all
the help her family can give her.
Next. clean one room. If one room

serve the rug. Have a small bell on
the kitchen table for the grocer's boy
to ring when he brings the groceries;
this saves the housekeeper from hav-
ing to listen for him-and perhaps
miss him; she can then pay him and
can also put in the ice box all per-
ishable groceries which he has
brought. This is the time. too, to put
over the fire any luncheon food which
requires long cooking. Then go back
to the task you were performing and
finish it before setting the luncheon
table and completing luncheon.
After clearing away the luncheon
dishes the housekNeper should lie
down in her own room. If she can
not take a nap, she can read a book
or magazine and get her mind off
herself for a while. If she has

Making the Home Attractive
BY DOROTHY ETHEL WALSH.
Feathers Compete With Flowers as
Home Decorations.

1t seems as though Mother Goose
has been plucking a great many
feathers lately. And no longer do
they only make snow material, but
the fluffy bits have blown right into
the house and now may be found
doing duty as sofa pillow covers and
as substitutes or flowers. Today
want to tell you how they may be
made part of side light shades.
A wire frame in the shape of a
basket. cut in a half section. is made
to fit over a fiat wall fixture. This is
covered In the same way as any silk
or chiffon lamp shade is. At the top
several colored ostrich tips are placed
so as to appear as though coming
from the basket. The light will shine
through the silk shade and up
through the colored feathers. The ef-
feet Is most pleasing.
Ostrich tips may also be used on a
band as curtain holder. Make the
straight band of the same material as
the curtains and group three tips in
the center so they will be located as
are generally the rosette or flowers
customarily seen. H.
These feathers I refer to are not
those found in the millinery depart
ments, but a much cheaper variety.
which, although colored well, lend
themselves better to decoration than
to personal adornment.

Eggs.

Fried eggs. milk and eggs. frozen
eggs, fresh eggs. warranted fresh
eggs, warranted eggs, soft boiled
eggs, scrambled eggs. omelet, hard
boiled eggs. bacon and eggs, coddled
eggs and just eggs are all digested
with about the same facility by the
much maligned and evidently very
well ligned human stomach.
To be sure an egg fried with
trifie longer to digest than one fried
with little grease or scrambled with
none. but it is worth the extra time,
for the grease adds materially to the
nutritive value of the egg.
That traditional quarrel over the
question of soft boiled or hard boiled
may be amicably and finally settled,
now that we have an eye on the di-
gestion OF food in the human stomach
1t is six of one and half a dozen
of the other. 1t is really just a ques-
ton of personal preference. OF course
very hard boiled egg must be more
thoroughly broken up by chewing. or
by grating or something, than soft
boiled egg, if it is to he quickly acted
on by the gastric juice.
Raw egg is just as readily digested
as cooked egg, but we do not derive
so much energy from the raw white
as we do from the cooked white, be-
cause something in the raw egg inter-
feres with the action of peF5in and
the dissolving of the white, and there
fore part of the nutritive value is
lost five take eggs raw. This is
no argument against the use of raw
eggs in certain cases where forced
feeding may be required. if the ply
siciap so prescribes. 1t is an argu-
ment against the indiscriminate use
IS 80
or other food, and against the taking
of raw eggs near the ordinary meal
time, provided one is eating meals.
OF course it is silly to imagine one
can derive any valuable effect from
raw eggs that is not as certainly de-
rived from cooked eggs.
When eggs and milk are taken
mixed together the egg digests as
readily and as quickly as egg alone
digests. and the milk digests shade
more quickly than when milk alone
is taken, because the egg white tends
to prevent the formation of too large
curds-milk always must curdle in
digestion.
Meat is rather more readily DIN
gested by a weak stomach. as in the
case of an invalid, than egg, because
meat contains substances (extractives)
trio juice and the other digestive proc
esses, and stimulate appetite; egg
contains no extractives. But for or
dinary folk eggs are meat as GER
tainly as fish or hot doc, is meat. No
family with going hen in the garage
