What Today Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
. Genini.

Until noon the aspects are adverse
and a. quiescent attitude will be pro-
ductive Of the best results Routine
and regular duties can be safely exc
cuted, but nothing of a new or radi-
cal nature should be essayed. Later
on the conditions improve and show
an ever-increasing betterment, until
in the early evening they become ex-
oellent. Things that you hesitate to
DO in the morning can now be at
tempted and accomplished. The vi
orations portend a successful terni-
nation or literary. artistic or scien-
TITO work.
A child born today will enjoy, IL
great care be given it's nutrition,
normal health and will possess a
normal mind. 1t will be very re-
sponsive to love and affection, and, on
the other hand. extremely resentful
OF any harsh or unkind treatment It
characteristics of loyalty, truth and
integrity, provided that the environ
ment or It's youth radiates the princi-
pies that breed such virtues.
II today is your birthday you pos
sess many attractive qualities and an
individual magnetism and charm that
olsarm criticism and encourage affec-
tion and respect. This is not simu-
your only-or, at least, your chief
drawback appears to be a lack of
prudence. This defect, which could
be so easily remedied by more care
full thought and less impetuosity, has
often caused you serious trouble, an
noyfng to you and distressing to your
friends.
In your career your business pros
poets have sometimes been affected
adversely by your lack of reserve and
prudence, Just as, in your home life,
you have frequently laid up trouble
for yourself by a woeful want of dis
cretion.
Prudence is we'll defined by Shakes
peare:
Have more than thou showest,
Speak less than thou knowest,
Lend less than thou owest,
Ride more than thou goest,
Learn more than thou trowest,
Set less than thou throwest.

date are: Nathan Hale, revolutionary

FaUOrite Recipes of
Prominent Women
HASTY PUDDING.
Mrs. Harvey W. Wiley.
BY EDNA VI. COLMAN.

No one should be able to speak
with greater authority on food values
from the nutrition standpoint than
Mrs. Harvey w. Wiley, wife of DR..
Wiley of pure food fame. Not only
has Mrs. Wiley subscribed to her
husbands theories, but she has taken
an active part in all civic and ma
tional movements for better and
cheaper foods. In the Consumers
League and the Housekeepers' Ali
ance as we'll as in the literary field
and the work for the advancement OF
suffrage, this energetic woman has
always been leader
Two Strapping young sons are con-
vincing evidence of the value OF the
food program ordained for them by
their parents.
Mrs. Wiley says:
I'm order to start the day properly
the morning meal should consist OF
food that Is simple and sustaining. In
my family the main daily breakfast
dish is a porridge or mush which we
call hasty pudding.
Il use the whole wheat -four, every
bit of the grain, ground in an old
fashioned water mill. for half of the
weeks morning meals and on the
alternate days meal made from
corn, the whole grain being ground
in the same manner as the wheat
For six persons use:
One pint meal or -four, four pintS
of water, one-half teaspoonful of salt
Stir meal into water with salt so as
to avoid all Jumps. Place on stove.
stirring constantly, especially from
the bottom until mixture boils. Cover
kettle and boil for five minutes. Place
in tireless cooker with hot stone on
top and one beneath and leave over
night. Serve with cream and a little
sugar"

especially barley. which has been al
lowed to spread. This is used in
making the malt extracts, malt bev-

Malt extract is often advised by
the physician. and is taken one or
two tablespoonfuls at a time. This
must not be done, however, unless
the physician advises it.

Cooking for Two.
Spring Vegetables.

II possible vegetables should be
steamed rather than boiled. This
method of cooking preserves the
valuable mineral salts that are in
the juices and that are so frequently
thrown away in the boiling.
Fully fifteen years ago famous
teacher of cookery, who was a real
scientist, said to the writer: II hope
the time is coming when we shall
know what becomes of the valuable
mineral salts matter in the vege-
tables. When l see vegetable water
thrown away or the steam from boil
ing vegetables allowed to escape into
the room, it leads me to hope that
our scientific workers will make this
one of their problems"
Miss NJ Parloa was the author re-
sponsible for this statement, and be-
fore she died Miss Parloa had the
qualification of seeing that her wish
was gratified Work along these
lines has progressed rapidly. and to-
tical suggestions of the scientific
workers guard the important mineral
salts in the vegetables very carefully.
In preparing vegetables for steam
lightly salted and placed in a con-
tainer which will At into a steamer.
The steamer must have a very tightly
fitting cover and the vegetables must
be steamed 1Or q signify longer
period than when boiling is the order
of the day.
Some vegetables that lend them
selves well to steaming are aspara-
gus. artichokes, string beans, young
beets. cabbage, celery, swiss chard,
eggplant, parsnipS, summer squash,
green peas, white turnips and yellow
turnips.
Here are some recipes for other
types of vegetable dishes:
Tomato Toast.
Five tomatoes, five slices buttered
toast, grated cheese.
Place the washed tomatoes in boil
ing salted water and cover with a
tightly fitting cover. After they are
soft remove the skins and place each
on a slice of buttered toast Remove
slice from the top OF each tomato.
fill in the opening with bit Of but
ter and the grated cheese. Sprinkle
with salt and pepper and brown in
oven.
Cabbage with Cream.
Wash a head of cabbage, place it
in a saucepan of rapidly boiling
salted water and boil for twelve
minutes. Drain. add seasoning and
fresh sweet cream. Serve at once.
This is particularly nourishing
vegetable dish for a convalescent
who is allowed vegetables and cream,
since the cabbage contains at least
two of the important vitamins and
the cream another.

Skinner Finds No One at

When opportunity awaits.
-Timmy the FIyinr Sduiyrel

-Tlmmy the F1ylns squirrel.
Skinner and Mrs. Swallow were not
at all the same little people who had
so joyously returned to the Old Or
chard from the Sunny South the day
before. No, sir, they were not at all
the same little people. There was no
joyousness in them. All that morning
they had hunted and hunted for a
place in which to build a home and
not a single place that pleased them
had they found. Now they sat on a
telephone wire, tired out with their
The only houses that might have suit

pied.
For a long time they sat there with
out saying a word. Suddenly Skim
mer spread his wings and darted
how, he couldn't keep away from
there. No other place ever could
seem like home. He Just had to fly
over there for another look at the
place he loved so. Above and in and
out among the trees of the Old Or
shard Skinner circled. Several
times he darted past the house he and
Mrs. swallow had lived in the year be-
fore and the year before that There
was no sign OF life there: At last he
the little perch by the little round
doorway. He sat very still. He fair
ly ached to look inside, but didn't
quite dare to. At last he gained
courage enough to poke his head in
side for a hasty look. It was a very
hasty look. and he didn't see any
one. Could it be that no one was at
home? His heart fairly leaped at the
thought.
Presently he gained courage to poke
his head inside again. This time he
took a good look. There was fine.
soft bed in there. but he could see
no one in il. Then Skinner did a
very bold thing. He ventured to go
wholly in. / wish you could have

Ny Neighbor Says:

Lamp chimney should never
be washed in soapy water. Hold
the chimney over steam and
polish with a cloth. Then rub
il with a rag upon which a
little powdered whiting has
been sprinkled.
Instead of greasing your
bread after taking it from the
oven, try greasing it before you
put it in and see how much
nicer and softer it is.
To bleach handkerchiefs, tow
els, etc, soak them overnight
in a solution of one-half tea
spoonful of cream of tartar to
each quart of water.
Automobile grease, tar and
ordinary grease spots can be
removed by soaking the mate
rial in gasoline and then wash
ing with soap in the usual way.
When cooking turnips, cab
bage or FISH put dish Of salt
on top of stove. 1t will help
absorb the odor.
In you wish to keep your
sneringue light, add one tea
spoonful of water after the
sugar is beaten in. or add a
pinch of baking powder while
beating.

Nutrition Nuggets.

Do not Judge the food value OF any
article of diet by its cost. While It
is quite permissible to lay out extra
money for extra luxuries that give
variety to tie diet, plain menu is
plan.
In giving children lunches in mid
morning or midafternoon be care
full to have the time fixed as regu-
larly as you do the meal hours. In
this way the important regularity of
the diet scheme Is not interfered
with.
Milk is the best source of lime;
egg yolk one of the best sources of
phosphorus, and yolk OF egg and
orange juice two of the best sources
the whole story of minerals in food,
but 1t Is a good sentence to remem-
ber.
Remember that many Of the de-
formities such az bow legs and
other malformations of the bones in
In the food. The children with these
tendencies should have plenty of
orange juice. yolk of egg, milk and
cereals
Remember that food in season
actually possesses a better flavor
than those luxuries which are bought
out of season.
Analyze your record Of food ex-
penditures every week. Look over
this record to see whether you have
given the family too much of any one
group of food or not enough of any
one group. This is the only way in
which your own expense account is
really practical or your record of dol
lars and cents gets you nowhere.
Plan your cooking so that the oven
dishes are being prepared at the same
time, so as to utilize the full heat of
this part of the stove.
II the school attended by your child
has no facilities for hot lunches al
noon, provide a small thermos bottle
In which he can carry hot vegetable
soup, hot cocoa, or some other simple
hot beverage. Great care must be
taken to train the child to do his part
in keeping the thermos bottle abso-
lutely clean, otherwise the food may
become infected and cause serious
illness.

About Pepper.

The different members of the pepper
family like different members of
human families are distinguished by
various types of complexion.
The berry of which black and white
pepper are made adorns a tiny plant
and this plant has its native home in
tropical countries.
The dark -comlexioned member of
the family or black pepper is made
from unripe berries; its fair sister or
have thoroughly ripened and in which
the starch has well developed.
AS to the fiery red head" or cay
enne pepper. this is really a cousin of
dried fruit from a different plant
The distinguishing characteristic Of
all the peppers-that is, their pun
gency-comes from an oil which is
volatile-that is, giving on in the
Like other condiments. pepper
makes no pretensions to furnish food
value. It's active service lies in the
fact that 1T stimulates the appetite
and therefore contributes indirectly
to the digestion of a meal.
Perhaps this is the best point at
which to pause, however, for a word
Our national dietary has for such
ly spiced foods have been developed
to such an extent as to offer in some
cases a real menace to health. Deli
cate and reasonable restraint by the
cook in the use of pepper is as much
to be commended as is corresponding
restraint by the printer in mixing his
colors, which is a roundabout way
of saying that too much pepper not
only detracts from the flavor of the
dish, but also may work active harm
by irritating the digestion.
The black and white peppers were
among the first spices to be used in
early history. The visigaths early in
the fifth century demanded several
thousand pounds Of white pepper as
part of the ransom of the city of
Rome. Ten centuries later this same
pepper was playing an important part
in the development of commerce and
international relations between the
Portuguese and the Indian nations.
Red or cayenne is made from the
pod of the plant which has no boz
tanical connection with the pepper
plant. This plant, which belongs to
the Capsicon family, is a native of
America. Cayenne pepper is prepared
from especially selected plants. 1t is
made by drying the pods, after which
they are ground and mixed with flour
are ground.
Cayenne, as one writer points out,
is powerful stimulant, and one
should be very careful about using 1t
| to excess.
