.s4O,OOO BLAZE AT
 WINDSOR LOCKS
Mather Block COeS--BriCk StruC.
 lure Damaged

Windsor Locks, Jany< "A stub born fire that did daJnage estimated at s40,000 ran through the three story brick block belonging to heirs of the late William Mather at the corner of Main and Spring streets early yesterday morning and gave the fire department one of the most dif- ficult tasks it has had for several years.
 In the block are located the quar- ters of the Windsor Locks Trust and Safe Deposit company but the rooms of that institution were not damaged much by fire but suffered from the water that ran through from other parts of the building and soaked the furniture and supplies.
 As Officers McMahon and McCue were patroling down Main street the former detected the smell of pine wood burning which he found upon investigation to be in the shop of the Windsor Locks Macaroni com pany in the Mather block. The offi- cers sent in an alarm and aroused the inmates of the block on the up per floors, which were fast filling with the smoke. When the department ar rived it was seen quickly that there was struggle on and the fremen laid four lines of hose and poured thousands of gallons of water into the building.
 Blaze Starts in Macaroni Shop.
 The fire started in the macaroni shop, either on the ground floor or in the basement where the heater and electrical motors and wires arc locat- ed. The fire spread rapidly and soon was breaking out in the cellar and store of Leon Colapietro next ad- joining and connected by door at the rear. In both of these places the f1remen had dense coluds of smoke to contend with along with the flames, and for three hours it was stiff fight to stop the fire. From the base ment of the macaroni shop the fire ate its way into the cellar under the bank and was burning the floor when it was checked.
 At the same time the fire worked the second floor of the building where were olcatcd the millinery shop and apartments of Mrs. C. B. Learmont, who was in Springfield with her daughter at the time, and also a music studio of Fred c. Abbe and rooms used as storage by the maca- roni company. The flames also worked up to the third floor where lived Mrs. Maggie pease. But the firemen prevented much damage by fire on the upper floors, although there was loss from smoke and water.

B, Sister Mary STARCHY FOODS

More starchy foods are included ir the winter diet than in the spring and summer meals.
 Their function is to produce heat and energy Starchy foods must be converted into sugar before they are assimilated by the body and hence are slowly digested.
 It is rather interesting to know that q person of good digestive and assimi- latiye capacity who indulges largely in starchcs becomes stout while he who fails to digest them becomes thin. The system seems to become acid and the more he eats the thinner he grows.
 Most desserts are starchy foods to certain extent, although the milk and eggs add some protein to the dish. Rice, tapioea, sago, cornstareh, cocoannt and green bananas are very starchy.
 Macaroni and spaghetti and all of that family arc starchy foods and should be served with their compost ton in mind.
 Potatoes. Hubbard squash. par. snips, ripe beans, peas and lonuls are also starches.
 Tn planning meals not more than two starehy foods should be provided. So if two starchy vegetables accom- pany the meat the dessert should be lacking in this element,
 IT dinner consists Of soup, meat, potatoes and green salad the dessert might well bc of rice, tapioca or any pudding rah in starch,
 This rice souftle should follow a light meat course for a dinner or figure as the main dish for luncheon.
 Rice Soufflc
 Three tablespoons rice, Is cup milk. eggs tablespoons sugar, i i-2 teaspoon vanilla.
 Wash rice through severa waters. Add to one cup boiling water and boil til tender Drain and pour boil. ing water over rice. Return 10 sauce pan with milk and cook until milk is absorbed. Add butter sugar and A few grains of salt beaten with yolks of eggs and cook three minutes in
New Britain herald., 1924-01-02

double boiler. Remove from fire and add raisins. seeded and pumped in boiling water. Add vanilla and mix thoroughly. Beat whites of eggs until stiff and dry and fold into first mix ture. Turn into a well-buttered baking dish and bake 20 minutes in a moder- ate oven. Serve with hard sauce made soft with few tablespoons of whipped cream.
 If a succulent vegetable is served with the meat and the dessert is of fruit the second starchy food may appear in the salad.
 Rice Salad
 One and one-half cups carefully cooked cold rice. 1 cup diced tart apple, cup diced celery, 1-2 cup nut meats boiled salad dressing.
 The rice should be carefully boiled and "fluffed." Mix lightly with apple, celery and nuts and enough salad dressing to make moist. Serve on 8 bed of shredded lettuce with spoon- full of currant jelly as garnish.
 Starchy foods create quick energy but do not make muscle, supply re- serve force and enrich the blood as do the proteins, fats and minerals. But as more heat is needed during the winter months to combat the cold weather stsrches play an important part in the winter diet and must not be neglected. They are one of the cheapest foods and if used wisely one of the most valuable.

 Relaxation
 Work when you work, play when you play. So says the old rhyme and there are germs of truth in its teach ing, Of course, we know that play is, psychologically speaking. a halfway stage between work and rest. In the stress and strain of busy working lives there must be some well-regulated amount of actual rest.
 Although the average person does not think must about it or realize the time or extent, every bodily power takes a certain amount Of rest or relaxation after exertion. We must do 1t or the nerves and muscles of our bodies will refuse 10 function properly. The man or woman who has the spirit of constant action, even refusing to give attention to proper rest. sleep or recreation, to say nothing of keeping up the tense nervous strain, is rapidly going to smash.
 me n0WeT 10 fclaN, Wnen IdIlEue of mind or muscle comes, is one Of the great safeguards of health.
 The busy housewife will find B great relief to her ovcrtaxed bodily powers if she takes her relaxation by simply stopping during the busy period and lying down on her back, closing her eyes and permitting muscles to rest perfectly. Relaxation is kind of short vacation between the hurrying duties of the daily grind.
 Simple and rest restoring forms of relaxation arc a cold spray or show CT bath alternated with hit. This affords an excellent tonic for tired nerves and muscles and rouses the blood to skin tingling activities. Sometimes restless people are great ly benefited by quiet walks emphoy- ing deep rhythmic breathing which will often produce restful sleep and complete relaxation.
 The power Of mind and muscle must coordinate by balance of work and relaxation.
