Adventures of the Fedwell Family
Mother Fedwell Shows Mother Slmkins v
With Her Meals.
BY WINIFRED STUART GIBBS,
Food Specialist.

Dear Mrs. Fedwell," said Mother
Slimpkins at one of the neighborhood
teas. i've been trying to follow your
getting on as well as 1 should like.
Sam likes good eating. and feel as
if he was asking for meals that are
bad for the children. If the things are
on the table they will ask for them
and I hardly know how to refuse
when their father Is having them.
What shall I do?'
"It all sounds so natural! When /
began. had just such problems. and
shall be glad to help you if 1 can.
ITO begin with the last problem!
Educate your Sam to accept whatever
you provide. but don't tell him that
you are putting the requirements of
the children first! We women have
to manage the men a bit for their
own good! 1t is far more important
that the children should have the es-
sential foods than for Sam to have
some dish merely because it appeals
to his taste.
'In this matter Of basing the family
meals on the needs of the children you
will be surprised how easy it is. OF
course, no one wishes to deprive an
adult of dishes that will not harm
him just because they are bad for
the children. On the other hand, If
you are careful to provide all the
foods needed by the children you can.
with very little extra effort, make
certain judicious additions to give va
riety for the grown-ups."
"Just what are these essentials for
the children?" asked Mother Slimkins.

potato, a green vegetable and a root

of meat: about an ounce of fresh but

So, for the rest of that day the
aviator and Farmer Browns Boy were
very busy. Danny watched all that
went on, and wondered what was 60
ing to happen. But he didn't wonder
nearly as much as did Nanny. You
see. he had had experience. He guess
led that that man bird was being made
ready to fly again, but he didn't tell
Nanny this. He knew how dreadfully
frightened she would be at the very
idea.
Poor Nanny! How she did wish she
never had thought of making nest
in that man-bird. How she did wish
she had been satisfied with her old
home in the old scarecrow. What
do You suppose is going to happen?"
she suueaked to Danny when at last
they were left alone.
Danny had it on the tip of his
tongue to say he guessed they were
going to fly, but he didn't say II. All
he said was, IF we are patient We'll
find out" All the time he was Won
dering if, should the man-bird carry
them away. it would bring them back.
Before the aviator and Farmer
Browns Boy left, the aviator placed
that cage close to the partly open
door of the little cupboard in such a
way that when the door in the cage
was open Danny and Nanny could run
into the cupboard. But there was no
way for them to get out of the cage
or the cupboard. Plenty of food was
left for them in the cage.
As soon as they were sure they
were all alone Nanny ventured into
the little cupboard. Somehow she felt
better once she was in her own nest
there. Curled up there she wondered
and wondered what was going to nap

Nanny and Danny Wonder
What Is Going to Happen.

There's nothing worse than dread suspense
or prisoners without defense.
Old Mother Nature
Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse
were prisoners. They had been caught
and put in a comfortable wire cage
by the aviator who flew the great
man bird. Danny had been a prisoner
in that cage before, so.he didn't mind
it in the least. But Nanny was very
much frightened. Yes, indeed, Nanny
was very much frightened. She kept
out of sight in the little box that was
in that cage.
But Danny watched everything that
was going on. You see, Danny was
not afraid. He saw that aviator open
that tiny cupboard in which he and
Nanny had made their nest, and take
that nest out. Then for some time he
worked on that cupboard. He was
lining il with tin; but, of course,
Danny didn't know this. When he
had finished he put the nest back.

My Neighbor Says:

Never leave soiled dish tow
els in your pantry. After each
meal wash out those you have
used and hang them out TO dry.
Add a little diluted ammonia
to the water in which you wash
them.
To keep your dining room
table we'll polished use n mix
ture of equal parts of turpen-
tine and olive oil. First wash
the wood with water in which
little boraX has been dis
solved Never rub soap on
polished wood. Next rub lit
tie of the mixture on with a
flannel cloth and polish with a
clean flannel.
Milk that has to be kept for
some hours before being used
should be put in shallow
bowl. If placed in a jug it will
turn sour very quickly.
Before placing a sponge cake
in the oven to bake sprinkle a
little fine white sugar over the
top. This will produce the rich
brown color that makes bought
cake look SO tempting.
When a broom begins to
show signs of wear. don't inn
mediately throw it away. Soak
1t in hot suds and place in the
sun to dry. Then trim the
bristles.
Honey should be kept in the
dark. If exposed to the light
1t will granulate very quickly.

beauty, one of the most snowy of all
the magnolias. 1t is a small tree,
usually about twenty-feet high, with
spreading branches. The leaves are
four to seven inches long, egg shaped,
with the larger part near the apex,
bright green above, pubescent be-
meath when young, on short stems.
The blooms are among the earliest
of the magnolias, coming in April to
May before the leaves appear. They
are large and profuse, pure white,
bell shaped, about six inches across
and sweet scented. The petals are
and sepals are three to four inches
long and almost alike. The fruits are
three to four inches long, brownish,
long and slender.
There are two varieties of the
yulan other than the type species.
Variety purpurascens has flowers
that are rose-red on the outside and
pale pink inside. Variety elongata
has leaves that are longer and larger
white flowers.
There is one of these magnolias in
the center of Franklin Park immedi
ately south of the fountain. 1t is
labeled. and those who pass through
the park to watch this tree during
April and May will be well repaid for
their vigilance.
