for you to do is to adopt a diet of

Is not highly seasoned and food that
doe not have have large proportion Of
into the temptation OF having a one
sided diet.
Let tea and coffee absolutely alone
and drink from two to three glasses
of milk every day. To vary the milk
try cocoa or cereal coffee for break :
fast or supper. Do not neglect your
cereal for breakfast, and eat a gem
erous dish OF hot porridse rather than
the faxed or puned variety. Try
chopping dates or raisinS in with the
cereal for variety. Use cereals made
from the whole grains such as whole
wheat. yellow cornmeal. steel cut or
Scotch oatmeal, varying the dish
from day to day. and do not put
sugar on your cereal.
Ask whoever plans your diet to see
that you have plenty Of fresh fruit
At this season you may vary this
with stewed raisins, orange marina
lade or stewed figs, but nothing will
take tho place of fresh fruit. This
will not only help you to develop
properly, but will have a decidedly
good effect on the pinples of which
you speak. These. by the way. are
nothing to worry about, as they are
only temporary.
While VIC are on this subject

indicate a filling up of the pores. and
the same diet that is good for the
skin in other lines viii help this
trouble. Have you tried cleansing the
face each night with a good grease
cream, wiping Off the accumulated
dust of the day, before you go to
bed? This also helps the skin to get
rid Of impurities, such as blackheads.
Now, as to the bodybuilding part
Of your diet. Eat meat once a day,
from two to four ounces, but not
more than four ounces. You may like
cheese dishes, such as macaroni or
hominy baked with cheese or cheese
combined with tomatoes or rice or Is
sandwiches.

Cooking For Two.
Frying.

Even tie inexperienced housekeepei
usually knows that there are two
methods OF fryinG-the ono which is
properly called "sauteInS' being car.
ried on with a small quantity OF fat
In an omelet pan: the other form
process of dropping foods into deep
fat. Although there are certain con-
ditions where fried food must be
avoided because of the temporary or
costing portion of the individual sys-
tenn. yet for normal persons fried
food, properly prepared, is whole
some and attractive addition to the
dietary, especially during the wirte
months.
When sauteing food--that is. cook
ing il in a frying pan with a very
small quantity OF fat-there are GER
tain simple but definite rules to be
observed. See that the pan itself is
will sock into the food as il warns
gradually i'll tho cold pan. Then be
careful not TO allow unnecessary
grease TO float about IN the pan. 4
little care will soon enable you TO
estimate with a fair degree of accu-
racy just how much is required.
There is a Modification of this
method which is called pan broilins.
and which is very satisfactory for
chops or for small steaks from tender
hot. merely oiled lightly over the en-
tire surface. and the meat scared on
this hot oiled surface, pressing it
down first On one side and then on
the other, and turning and returning
from side to side precisely as when
the broiltng is performed over an
open fire.
Now. a" TO true or deep fat frying.
The temperature for this process
should be from $50 20 400 degree

Save small remnants Of fat and try
out from time to time. This is done
by cutting in small pieces or grind
ing in a meat chopper. Melt in upper
part OF double boiler, clarity and
put away in a clean jar.
Now, as to testing the temperature
way. and one that is still used By
teachers Of cookery, is to drop a cube
Of bread from the soft part OF a loaf
In the smoking fat. Count forty
slowly. and if the bread is then a
golden brown color the fat is ready
to fry cooked mixtures. such as Gro
quettcs. The same test is used for
uncooked mixtures, except that one
should count sixty; that is. allow q
full minute for browning the bread.
II care is taken to reclarify the fat
frequently, the same lot may be used
over and over for various foods. In
frying batters and doughs, potatoes
and fishballs. however, it is better to
use fresh fat. Fish meat and cro-
quettes may be done in fat that has
already been used.
Foods that DO not contain eggs
should be dipped in crumbs or egg
and crumbs, or even in flour. before
frying. This presents soaking Of the
fat into the food and renders it more
digestible.

trouble? l would especially like to
know about the hearty foods, such as
meats and vegetables. How often
should meat be eaten in the course OF

Mrs. J. P. S.
There are several different types
of gall bladder disorders, and with
out knowing more about the details
of your case I feel that l cannot TAX c
the responsibility Of suggesting your
diet, except in the most general way.
One suggestion is to avoid condi-
ments. vegetables containing irritat-
ing oils. such as garlic. horse-radish,
Iadishes and alcohols. In beginning
the treatment it is sometimes a good
plan to fast for a day. drinking water
freely. if the attack has been acute.
Milk in small quantities, milk toast.
soft cereals and cream soups are
dition. Keep the bowels completely
open and soc that the diet as a whole
is not stimulating or one that will
tend TO form poisons in the body.
Ask your physician as to the exact
type Of your trouble, and 1 will be
very glad to forward further sugges-
tions.

Nutrition NUGGETS.

In beginning systematic study of
the food needs of a family remember
that authorities no longer reckon on
tho requirements of adoicscent boys
and girls as being certain percentages
OF the requirements of the man of
the family. In fact, boys of this age
often require more energy than their
fathers This is explained by the
fact that the fathers occupations
vary so widely
When planning your own diet or
the diets of other members of the
family remember that no one is likely
to suffer from lack of vitamins,
provided he has good, old fashioned
mixed diet"
II chiIdren's diets arc deficient in
the all-important mineral salts, the
lime. the phosphorus and others, they
will inevitably be stunted in growth.
What is the answer? Oranges, spin
ach. cabbage, egg yolk and all other
green vegetables and fresh fruits.
plus a plentiful supply of milk.
The best authorities caution us not
to depend too largely on the instincts,
or, in other words, the appetite, in
selecting our food. While this was a
fairly safe guide in moro primitive
days. when natural conditions had not
been so widely disarranGcd, in our
complex life today we must study

back to that young orchard. He did

ought to taste that young bark. 1t
Is worth riskinE a lot for. But really
there isn't any risk. Come along and
see for yourself"
But little Mrs. Peter wouldn't leave
the dear Old Briar Patch, and Peter
wouldn't heed her pleas to stay at
home. So away he went, lipperty-
