For the Winter Bedroom
Suggestions to the Housewife for Making Use OF
Various Articles in Furnishing Comfort and
Giving More Attractive Appearance.
Die more rows of stitching

left and couple more rows of stitching
applied. A simple design of stitches,
such as large oval or diamond shape,
gill be enough to keep the comfort in
position in the center. II a treasured
piece of embroidery has been used for
he center decoration this must be out
ned with stitching also. a few eyelet
holes should be worked with silk here
nd there.
Oriental bedspreads, table covers
and other articles which are con-
s'dered likely to lose their color If
washed, need careful treatment to
prevent the printed pattern from
being spoiled when they are cleaned.
Such articles should never be paced
in water to which soda has been
added. After being shaken free of
dust such articles should be quickly
washed in Il lather made with pure
soap jelly which has been allowed to
become quite cold. After all marks
should be quickly rinsed in salt and
water to set the co'ors, passed
through the wringing machine and
dried in the shade with the wrong
side uppermost.
When L white bedspread is too bad
ly worn for further use, get enough
calico to cover both sides, or 4 lining
for one side if preferred. then quilt
in some pretty design and you will
have nice. light quilt.
In the Sick Room.
When making bed for a sick per-
son, first take the bottom sheet and
tuck it under several inches at the
head of the mattress. Don't bother
about the foot. Then just let the
top sheet come to the head of the bed,
tucking under the extra length at the
foot. The most restless person can
hardly uncover the mattress, which
always gives such an untidy appear
ance to bed =.
For 4 refreshing sickroom disin-
feCtant, put little freshly ground
coffee in a saucer and in the center
pace small piece of camphor gum.
Light with a match. and as the gum
burns allow the coffee to be consumed
with it. 1t is pleasant, healthful and
cheap.
A wheel chair for an invalid can be
made by buying four casters attached
to rubber sockets, into which the legs
of an ordinary chair can be slipped.

These words were taken from 4

Rochambeau.

In the language OF today, Count
Rochambeau came to America as the
communicative chief of the French
expeditionary force sent by the King
of France to help the colonists In
their war for independence.
When Admiral De Ternay's squad
ron, with its 5000 land troops under
Rochambeau's command, arrived at
Newport in 1850, Gen. Washington
was elated. This detachment of aid.
though not the first, meant that
France had openly become an ally
according to her treaty of 1878 and
was ready to help with money and
men.
The statue unveiled in 1902 in the
southwest corner of Lafayette Parl
was the first in America to honor tn
French commander, although at thai
time eight statues had already been
dedicated in the United States to La
fayette.
The monument. as testimony of
Americas gratitude to France and a
tribute to Rochambeau, was erected
by the Congress Of the United States
IT is distinctively French in that it is
replica of the Rochambeau me-
mortal which was unveiled in 1899
at Vendome, France, the nobleman's
birthplace.
The original model, by Ferdinand
Hawar of Paris, was accurately re-
produced in the casting, which shows
the field marshal in the uniform OF his
high rank. The features and bearing
of the commander show him to have
teen a nobleman and a soldier Of
such staunch purpose that he de-
served the military decoration which
had been bestowed upon him by his
King. In his left hand he holds the
plan of battlefield, while his right
hand is extended as II in the very
act of directing an attack.
The bronze figure below the statue
shows a woman in a vest of armor
hurrying forward, carrying a sword
in one hand and a French flag In the
other. symboliZing the coming of

1 am a middle-aged woman and at
present not very strong, but have
been able to go about quite freely.
A few months ago I was attacked
by rheumatism in one knee and nov
the other has become quite painful
and l am more or less restricted IL
walking. I wish to ask what diet
you would consider helpful for my
case.-H. 3. G.
I make the following suggestions
regarding your diet: Green vege
tables are fine for you. In place of
mayonnaise for your lettuce I should
use a French dressing made of lemon
juice instead of vinegar. Tomatoes,
corn, peaches, bananas, oranges are
good for you, but the cream salmon
and the cream Goldfish should have in
their place hot scalloped dishes of
vegetables. You will get the cream
sauce just as we'll in this type of diet
and it will be more digestible. The
tea and coffee, as you drink them, are
probably all right for you. Shredded
wheat with cream is good. The
boiled tongue and ham come in the
same category with cream salmon
and Goldfish. They are not ideal for
you. l should suggest cabbage,
cheese, either with salad or sand
wiches. Other dishes in this group
should be matted preparations and
variations Of the baked vegetable
dishes, using cereals occasionally in
stead Of the vegetable pulp.
I think you might add soups made
from vegetable stock, also any of the
prepared cereals, such as fakes,
puffs and shreds; also fruit gelatins,
ices, marmalades from dates, oranges
and figs if you are careful about the
sugar. Fruit tapioca is also desir-
| able. 1 should suggest bran bread
and bran cereals. If there is a ten
dency to constipation, pay special at
| tention to this, and, II necessary, use
a mineral oil in addition to the lax
ative foods. In fact, there should be
| one. and preferably two, movements
! of the bowels daily, even II you have
occasionally to employ warm en-
ema. In the above diet list should
y
melon, cantaloupe, ETC., and potatoes.
Both Of these have a tendency to
neutralize acids formed in the di-
gestion of other foods and are es-
pecially valuable in cases like
yours.
I am very much interested in your
articles on diet, and write to ask If
you would tell me what kind of a
diet my husband, who Is a travelling
man, should have. He has bilious
attacks; he is five feet nine inches
tall. weighs 1S5 pounds, and had a
blood pressure OF 20 above. He eats
for breakfast scrambled or boiled
eggs, cup Of coffee. bread and butter.
For lunch bread or rice pudding, cup
of coffee. For dinner, meat, Vegetables
and potatoes coffee: can't drink milk.
He would appreciate very much II
you advise him on how he shpul1 eat.

or course, since he is travelling, I
, can't look out very much for him.
j. T. p.
The travelling man has real
problem when it comes to selecting
the right kind Of food Unfortunately
there are many restaurants that do
not realize the Importance of care in
selecting meals and the travelling
mans occupation is in itself some
what apt to keep the digestion dis
turbed.
age, but even without knowing this
,, it is evident that he is overweight.
# he is between 25 and 80. for ex-
| lmple. he should not weigh more
than 162 pounds. If between 40 and
IS. not more than 16S pounds This
| means that he is at least over Is
to 20 pounds overweight. Here, again
however. there will be a problem
since he must not try to reduce his
weight so rapidly as to reduce his
strength.
The first thing I should suggest is
for him to be extra careful about
constipation. Indeed this trouble may
be at the bottom of all Of his bilious
attacks. While 1t is not advisable
to take medicine for this in the be-
ginning, he may find that it will be
necessary to use some preparation
of mineral oil unless this upsets the
digestion. Luckily. hotels are be-
ginning to secure bran, and l advise
that your husband eat bran for
morning in some form. 1t would not
be very difficult for him to carry a
small package for use at places
where this is not served.
Then he should have an abundance
of fresh green vegetables. He should
avoid all fried food; eat potatoes
baked or mashed, eggs boiled or
poached. etc.
! should advise him to change his
type Of desserts for time at least
and to eat good serving of fresh
prunes, stewed dry apricots. apple
sauce and other similar fruits. Ad-
wise him to drink plenty of water,
at least four glasses day besides
what he has at meals. OF course,
this will add to his flesh, but even
so, it is very important for keeping
the bowels in good condition.
Here is somple days meals that
may help him to plan. Breakfast, one
large orange or a glass of orange
juice or one Of grape juice. two eggs,
two slices of graham bread, toasted.
and one cup of clear coffee. Lunch.
,, should have one cup of clear broth, a
slice of broiled fish with lemon. one
baked potato. a good serving of
canned asparagus freshly cooked. but
tered cabbage and raw apple.
For. dinner, one dozen raw oysters,
a large slice of lean roast beef, one
half cup of plain boiled vegetable,
such as canned string beans or corn
or tomatoes, one medium boiled po-
, tato, plain salad of lettuce with
lemon juice and crackers and cheese
with cup of clear coffee.

Today's planetary aspects are quite

occasion for working out new plans

postponed to some other time. The
