WASHINGTON, April Like Jericho of old, Washing
ton is walled city but the hosts of Israel have only begun
to march around it and the wall still stands
Thru the city gates travellers pass freely with the eyes
of sleuths upon them the mails and CO. tho letters
in mysteousy opened and reseaed before
delivery the telegraph and telephone connect the city with
the world outside, tho both said to leak at times.
Some TRUTH to be sure, does escape thru the wall but
truth outside of Washington does not look the same
truth inside Washngtons eye is not constructed like the
ordinary human eye but normal many things which
to the Of outsider appear grotesquely improbable

Milk Drinks.

Granting that the best milk
drink" is milk, we also know that
beverages into which milk has en-
tered as one of the principal ingredi-
ents have a very decided food value
One of the most widely used of
these beverages is matted milk.
Various combinations Of ingredients
are made in preparing the powder
from which matted milk is made, but
in all the standard products we find
the basis for a very palatable and
helpful drink. In fact, it is rather a
pity that the use of matted milk in
it's simple stage is by popular accord
limited largely to the sickroom. We
should all be the better for the oc-
cational addition of this beverage to
our menu
Mixed with egg, chocolate, cocoa
and other fiavorings and foods matted
milk is more popular. Where it must
take the place of g. more leisurely
luncheon these combinations are very
good, but to return to our contention
that sim mplicity is advisable here s in
most other dietary cases, we may
state that the office worker who adds
matted milk to his luncheon might do
well to drink it plain.
Then we have the various dried
powdered milks, prepared either from
whole or skinned milk. When pre-

pared from the latter the milk pow
der may be useful in cooking, but If
| 1t must be depended upon to supple
ment the diet of infants or children
the milk powder must be made from
whole milk, with it's full quota of the
valuable and, in fact, indispensable
powder fat.
AS to the various beverages made
from fermented milk, the only stand
by is buttermi1k. This beverage is
extremely palatable to some indi-
viduals while others dislike it. Be

real place in varied diet and is

The Tactic acid bacteria which help
to bring about fermentation are very
| beneficial in their action on the hu-
| man system. without going into the
| chemistry of the matter we may say

whom it has been prescribed:
! You are not only getting product
| that is usually of service in cases of
average case very digestible."

What Today Means to You
ny NARY BLAKE.
Leo.

Leo.
The planetary aspects of today are
fairly good until the early afternoon,
and in this period favor the settle
ment or disposal of all matters and
undertakings that have been left un-
done, or, for some reason or another,
postponed. They do not appear to be
propitious for new ideas or plans, al
though they indicate success in mat
ters affect property interests-real
estate or otherwise. They are also
conducive to good results in all ef-
forts in connection with invention,
ch emical and intellectual research. In
the evening the aspects are adverse,
and poise and self-control are neces-
sary il trouble Is to be avoided.
A child born today will cause you a
great deal Of worry and anxiety dur
ing infancy, both on account of sick
ness and the risk of accident. Careful
nutrition will minimize the gravity
of the former, and eternal vigilance
avoid the latter. Its character will
rather than merry, it's temperament
sensitive and nervous. In order to
overcome, as far as possible, these
defects, much outdoor life and ex-
ercise should be given it, as well as
clean environment and wholesome in
f1uence.
If today is your birthday, you hide
most of the valuable assets that you
possess by assuming a critical atti-
tude toward others, and in their turn
they show toward you lack of good
will. To attain good will, you must
exude good will. You must sow be-
fore you can permanently reap.
When you harbor hate or unchar-
itableness or distrust, you inspire lin
others similar sentiments toward
yourself. The world has been likened
to a mirror, to an echo and, some
times, to a bank. 1t is like a mirror
because it largely is reflection of
our own selves; it is like an echo be-
cause 1t gives back the sounds we
put into it; it is like bank, because 1t
repays with interest what we deposit
in 1t.

date are: Benjamin Silliman, ST.,

Cooking for Two.
Fruit and VEGETABLE Toasts

Warm days make it something of
a problem to add to the variety of
the diet without increasing foods
that are very hearty. One solution
of this difficulty is to introduce fruit
and vegetable toasts.
These toasts lend themselves to
great variety of dishes, as they are
composed of foods rich in body-regu-
lating substances, and. properly pre-
pared. are extremely appetizing.
Beginning with the fruit toasts
these are especially adaptable for hot
weather:
For a hot-weather breakfast We
may have banana toast. Use one
good sized banana for each person TO
be served. being careful that the
fruit is absolutely ripe. This is in-
dicated by dark -colored, even black
skin. After peeling. scrape the ba-
mana very lightly with a silver knife
or the edge of spoon to remove
what is next to the skin. Ma sh the
pulp thoroughly and press ii through
coarse strainer. For each person
crisply toasted bread which has been
moistened very lightly with hot milk.
Serve the mashed and strained ba-
mana pulp on the moistened toast.
This dish is hearty enough to com.
bine the fruit and cereal portions of
a Summer breakfast, in which case
use graham whole wheat or bran
bread in making the toast.
Two other hearty breakfast toasts
are those made with mashed steamed
and strained dates or stewed prunes
similarly treated.
For other fruit toasts. at meal
when cereal is to be served, use any
of the Summer berries, stewed and
sweetened
The vegetable toasts are especially
adapted for Summer luncheons. Some
attractive varia tions of the idea are
stewed and strained tomatoes on
toast. creamed oyster plant, creamed
spinach and celery.
While the idea is not fundamen-
tally new one. it is capable of nu-
merous variations and adaptations,
and is well worth considerable at
tention on the part of the housewife.

Peters Second Surprise.
Opinions formed in too great haste
Oft prove opinions gone to waste.

Peter Rabbit.
Just wondering and wondering
doesn't get you anywhere. 1t didn't
get Peter Rabbit anywhere. 1t didn't
tell him how those two speckled eggs
happened to be lying side by side
on the big, fat rock in the Old Pas
ture. So, still wondering. Peter
started on. He had gone but a little
way when it popped into his head
that whoever had left those eggs
there might return for them. He
hadn't anything in particular to do.
and he could watch awhile just as
well as not.
So Peter settled himself comfort
ably under a bush short distance
from that fat rock and waited. The
the Nighthawk was swooping up,
down and around. catching his dinner
of insects. Melody the Wood Thrush
was still singing over in the Green
Forest. Once he heard Reddy Fox
bark over in that direction. But no
one came for those eggs.
Its queer about those eggs" said
Peter to himself. Yes, sir, it GER
tainly is queer. l believe I'll go back
and have another look at them The
queer place for eggs to be that some
how it doesn't seem as If they can
be real eggs. OF course, know they
are, but, just the same, I think I'll
go over and have another look at
them"
So Peter made his way to the nat
rock. He looked over to the middle
of it. Then he rubbed his eyes and
looked again. Those two eggs were
not there At least, he didn't see
them. Perhaps it was because it had
grown darker. He hoped up on the
rock and started for the middle of it
where he had seen the two eggs.
Then he noticed little dark bunch
Of something right where those two
eggs had been. When he got close
enough he saw that it was bunch of
feathers.
"Now, who put those feathers over
those eggs?" said Peter, speaking
aloud, for he thought he was alone.
