of that patchy variety produced by
using left-overs from the more pre-
tentious dinner of the night before.
The wise young matron, however,
made no apologies. She added such
little touches as a bowl of Indian
chutney, some fragile glasses filled
with ice-cold sweet cider, and some
sailed nuts, and ignored the warmed
up potatoes, the dangerously few
peas, and the cold rice pudding.
When we had finished, she said,
pleasantly:
Shall we have our coffee over by
the fire."
We all strolled the length of the
long room, and sat down before the
fireplace, where the young husband
stirred the fire to fresh blaze,
while his wife brought from a quaint
ola oaken buffet in the shadows
copper tray holding copper coffee
percolator, and several egg-shell
cups in little copper holders. The
alcohol flame soon burned blue and
gold, and the bubble of the perco-
lator mingled with the swapping of
the wood. The delicious aroma of
coffee crept into the air. and pres

FEEDING SCHOOL
CHILDREN
MILK


A child is never old enough to give
up the milk habit. Milk is the best
and most essential food for growing
children. in fact, nothing can take
it's place as a building food. II has a
high nutritive value and is easily
digested, hence is most valuable
food for children, and they should be
encouraged to drink milk with their
meals regardless of their age. Milk,
however, should be regarded as a
food. not beverage
One quart of milk per day should
be consumed by the growing child.
From two to three glasses should be
served as a drink and the remainder
used in the cereals, broths and des-
serts. Cocoa is pleasant medium
for serving milk, but coffee and tea,
even though largely diluted with
milk, should nev,r be given to grow
ing children.
Milk is more easily digested whel
warm and is more palatable to most
children in that form. Very cold milk
should not be given to children. If a
child rebels at drinking a glass of
milk it can often be induced to take
a milk shake, but it should not be
| made too sweet.
Milk can be served in such multi
tude of appetizing forms that there
| should be no difficulty in including
| the desirable quart in days menus.
There is bread and milk, for instance.
If properly cooked this is a delicious
supper dish. Stale bread should be
used; cut two or three slices into
! dice and pour over these, milk that
has just reached the boiling point
cover dish closely for few minutes
and serve. For a change the diced
bread could be Drowned in the oven

Kenneth rose when Victoria sprang

She was so angry that her eyes
flashed and her cheeks famed. He

LOOK YOUR BEST

Beauty of form is as great an at
traction as beauty of face. figure
that is out of proportion or over
developed at certain points spells
symmetry and adds years to your
appearance. This is particularly true
of an overdeveloped bust. 1t gives
look of maturity; it makes you
move awkwardly and robs you of
that girlish lithesomeness which Is
so charming in a woman.
| A change of diet shows marked
results in reducing the bust. Elmi-
nate too much starches and sugars,
and especially too much liquid foods,
such as soup, tea, coffee, etc.
You can aid the reduction process
by bathing this portion of the figure
with as cold water as you can stand
without shock in which add a half
teaspoonful of alum or 10 drops of
| benzoin. This treatment should only
| be engaged In If you are in absolute
robust health, as there are very i'm
portant glands situated in this por-
tion of the figure and discretion
must be used as to the best time to
apply this treatment.
Besides the change of diet and the
bathing, massage is helpful, using a
gentle but firm enough stroke so as
not to injure the delicate tissues.
The reason 1 suggest the massage is
because the big truth underlying all
reduction is this: where good circu-
lation abounds fat will never accu-
mulate.
But by far the best way to reduce
the bust is by exercise. AS the fat
accumulates at this part of the fig
ure, the muscles become so incased
in 1t that there is very little oppor-
tunity for free movement. You can
| overcome this by arm exercises that
extend the arms over the head, reach
ing as far as you can; and even
Ginning the bar Is helpful because
this stretching of the muscles that
support the bust will help to wear
away the fatty tissue. Extending
the arms at full length in front and
then bending the elbows and trying
to make them meet In the back, il
done persistently and with rapid
movement, is very helpful.
You will notice that those who are
troubled with an overdeveloped bust
usually have an overabundance of
fat on the top part of the arm as
well. So all arm circling, arm
charging and other exercises with
wands or dumbbells will prove help
full because they not only bring into
play the muscles of the top part of
the arm but the muscles that support
the bust as well.
| But should you be disinclined to
take any of the above treatments
there is the deep breathing. Practice
this with deep inhalation that fills
| the lungs to their entire capacity
and exhale in the same manner.
Along with this method l want you
to try out and daily practice the in
taking of the breath by shifting In
the air by counts and forcibly ex-
haling it after the third count, In
creasing until you have worked up
to. say, the point where you can take

25 or more shifts of the air and ex-
hale at your own pleasure. This
gives you complete control of the
lungs and at the same time wears
away the fatty tissue and develops
hollows in the figure, besides being
the best method for increasing your
health. clearing out your skin and
otherwise making you beautiful.
These five methods-diet, bathing.
massage. exercise and deep breathing
if persistently followed, will
change your figure from it's present
proportions to the more normal sym
metry that you desire. And you will
find that if you are faithful you will
not have the shrunken effect that is
customary with the reduction OBJ

BY DOROTHY DIX

A lady politician is agitating for
an eieht-hour day for housewives.
She says she doesn't see why car
penters and bricklayers and plumb
ers should have union working hours,
while their wives and mothers have
to toll overtime. So she proposes to
organize the women of the country
and have them strike for their rights
for a union day, If they can't get it
any other way.
Fine theory, but the trouble with
most of our rights is that we cannot
enforce them. OF course there is no
reason why frail, little woman
should have to work from IA to 16
hours day. with not even Sunday
or holidays off, while a big, husky,
ab1e-bodied man flirts with job for
eight hours and calls it day, but
before you can bring about an equit-
able adjustment of the labor propo-
sition in family and give the wife
as easy hours as the husband, you've
got to make over life.
& You've got to invent an automatic
breakfast that cooks and serves it.
self, and a baby silencer, and self
washing and dressing Riddles, and
armor-plated stockings, and trousers
that never wear out, and you've got
to substitute eherubs for children
and make family prefer compressed
food tablets to mothers pies. Unfor-
tunately, no Edison has yet arisen to
perform these miracles, and devise
a household in which a woman has
only to press a button and some
magic does all the rest.
So far the stupendous job of run
ming a family and keeping it healthy
and comfortable, and clean, and
happy, and prayed for, and spanked,
is up to mother, and it Is task
that no human being can accomplish
in eight hours.
That's why mother has to get up
before the balance of the family in
the morning, and why she is still
working long after they are SUM
bering in their beds, or gadding
around after pleasure. A mans work
consists OF some definite thing to do,
a womans work consists of all that
there is to do, and it's never done,
because as soon as it is accomplished
she must do it all over again.
She is forever cooking meals that
are gobbled UP, and that call for more
food to be cooked. She Is forever
making beds and sweeping floors
that must be made up again and
swept again. She is forever mend
ing clothes that wear out and must
be mended again, washing little
hands and faces that are dirty again
the next minute, picking up coats and
caps. and papers that are carelessly
flung down again.
No one notices that she does these
things. No one suspects them of be-
Ing labor, or thinks of life being

work to her. 1t is only when mother
gets sick or dies and chaos descends
upon a household that those who
owned the slave that served them so
faithfully, realize the pever-ending
work that it took to make them COM
Portable.
Not only is the housewife worked
incredible hours, but she is the only
laborer in the world who never has a
day off, not even Sundays. Holidays
for the balance of the family only
bring extra work for her. Saturdays
and vacations, when the children are
at home from school, mean extra clut-
tering of the house, the upsetting of
her daily routine, an added strain of
anxiety to keep restless little hands
out of mischief more work to pro-
vide amusements for those who are
always crying, .:'What will we do
next, "mo-o-ther?"
Sunday is the day of rest for the
beasts of burden, but 1t is mothers
busy day. The balance of the family
sleep late, but mother must be up be-
times to get the breakfast and see
that all the best clothes are laid out,
and to scrub behind Johns ears, and
curl Mary's hair. and find fathers
handkerchief and cane, and brush his
hat, and see that everybody cts off

wonder that she Is too tired after all

back with renewed appetites for sup

Oh, If you have tears to shed over
the poor working woman, don't waste
them on the factory hand, or the
sweat-shop worker, or the shop girl,
with their union hours. Save them
for home consumption and bedew
mother with few of them.
But can you imagine mother strik-
Ing? Can you imagine mother walk
ing out and leaving her job because
the hours are too long and the pay
too small?
Can you imagine mother letting
father go to his work, and the chill
dren off to school without any break
fast because she doesn't have to
punch the time clock until s o'clock :?
Can You imagine mother tucking
the pillow into her ear. and turning
over, and taking another snooze while
the baby bowls with the collie, and
little Tommy begs for drink of
water, or cries out that he's cold, be-
cause she isn't supposed to do night
work?
Can you imagine mother putting on
her hat, when her eight-hour day is
up and walking out leaving the
dinner half cooked on the stove, the
house untidy, and her husband and
children to shift for themselves as
best they can because her day is over
and she won't work overtime with
out extra pay?
No. There is no eight-hour day for
mother. Hers is a perpetual motion
job that never ends, and the most
wonderful thing on earth is that
somehow God gives her-the strength
to perform this herculean labor and
carry on to the end.
