The Food Budget.

How much of the family income
or wages should be spent for food?
A mother asks this question, which
I am not going to attempt to answer,
and she goes on to ask some other
questions which are more in my prov
ince What are the most nourishing
and essential foods that can be bought
for a family of four, on a budget
of about 81 a week? The family con-
sists of dad, aged 80 mamma, aged
%, one boy aged 2 years and-yes,
sir, another boy-some people do have
all the luck, Somehow-another boy,
aged 13 months. Everybody physi-
cially well and happy so far, but never
more than SIS available for food for
the family for a fortnight. At pres
ent, mamma mentions, the family
gets AZ quarts of standard pasteurized
milk month, which costs $5.8S-
quite az gouge out of the SIS or $50
monthly allowance for food. Is the
milk worth that much?
For the boys, yes. For dad and
mamma certainly not. Pure fresh
milk-and even standard paStueriZed
milk comes under that description
is the most essential and nutritious
item of food for all boys and girls
up to the age of II years, and it is
worth almost any price for the young
sters. The average young child
should have from a pint to a quart
of pure fresh milk every day. These
boys of dads and mammals are not
getting a drop too much milk. even
if they divide the whole AZ quarts
between them.
That leaves us about six simoleons
a week for the rest of our eats. Scout
around, mamma, and find a meat mer
chant who has enough fancy trade
on his handS-soup bones and some
of the cuts not preferred by the
bontons Clear soup is poor nutri-
ment, but don't serve clear soup
serve it thickened or embellished with
rice, vermiceIli other macaroni, any
and all kinds of vegetables, or just
starch Make it a point to get all
the flavor and all the nutriment out
of vegetables, when you have vege-
tables, by using the water they are
cooked in as pot liquor or in soup.
A good dish of noodle soup makes a
fairly satisfying meal and fairly
well balanced one.
For health; good nutrition and
economy, these items should have a
place in the food budget:

What TomorrowMeans to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Genini.

During the early part of tomorrow
and until about noon the planetary
aspects are quite benign, and should
exert a salutary influence for all ex-
ercises or recreations associated with
the observance of Sunday. There
after, however. uncertainty prevails,
and there will be experienced IL feeling
of depression and a decided tendency
toward irritation and disappointment.
II is very easy, although by no means
expedient, to give expression to such
sentiments in the unrestrained at
mosphere of the home circle. In order
to avoid hurting the feelings of those
who, by home ties. are so closely asso-
ciated with you, 1t would be well to
curb the impulse to be nasty" and
cultivate the desire to be mice"
Although the child born tomorrow
will have during infancy its share of
illness, it will overcome all it's weak
neSSeS and develop vigorous strength
as the years roll by. It's disposition will
be very outSpoken, and an underlying
sense of truth and justice will form
the fundamentals of it's character. 1t
will not be lacking in courage, either
physical or mental. and will never be
prepared to sacrifice conviction for
expediency. 1t will be a careful
thinker, and after arriving at a def
mite conclusion VIII never hesitate 10
express an opinion, although 1t may
run counter to popular or friendly
currents. 1t will have a commanding
personality, and is destined to become
a leader-either in society. business
or politics.
Is June your birthday? If so, your
impulse often guides you. You have
a very alert mind. and are quick to
see a point, and have frequently DEM
onstrated your ability as a debater. If
things go well, you are an indefati-
gable and tireless worker. You are
however, easily discouraged, and apt
to lose heart.
Your hold on your friends is great,
as your loyalty to them is never ques-
toned, nor is your desire to help
them, when they need it, ever doubted.
AS a lover, you are exacting and con-
stant; you give yourself with heart
and soul, and become terribly discour-
aged if your love is not returned, with
compound interest.
Well known persons born on this
date: Edward Winslow, loyalist: AL
fred Pleasanton, soldier and railroad
president; John A. Darling, composer;
John Sattertield. oil operator; Susan
E. Blow, kindergartener; John +.
Goucher, clergyman and educator.

To Prevent Coaxing.
One mother Saws.

One mother says:
When l discovered that the habit
of coaxing was becoming frequent and
disagreeable in my small daughter I
sat down and analyzed the cause. To
my surprise. l had to confess that il
was my own fault. / had often been
overhasty in my decisions and many
times changed my mind entirely
when her teasing became insistent,
simply because ] had not been sure
enough of my own attitude in the
matter. Now l deliberate wisely and
stand by my verdict. Already she has
learned that coaXing is futile.

eyes. Yes, sir. he did so. He had
pink eyes. And he didn't seem to care
at all about his white coat or his pink
eyes. He didn't seem to care about
anything but filling his stomach, and
that took a lot of filling.
OF course, Peter hurried back to the
edge of the Green Forest, lipperty-lip
perty lip, as fast as his long legs
would take him. He wanted to find
the white Robin and the white Red
Squirrel to tell them of the little white
Son of Prickly Porky the Porcupine.
You know Peter dearly loves to be
carrier of news. He thinks it most as
much fun to tell things as it is to
find out things.
OF course, the white Robin and the
white Squirrel made journey into the
Green Forest to see the white Porcu-
pine. Peter showed them the way.
of course, both wanted to talk with
the white Porcupine. But the. little
Porky was not at all polite. He
wasn't at all interested in anything
but that stomach of his. He didn't
even know he was freak. And when
they told him he was freak he didn't
care. He said
You ought to care," declared the

The magician placed a ring on
Aladdin's finger. This will protect
you from any dangers you may meet
with" he said.
At the foot of the stairs everything
was as the magician had said it
would be. After fastening the lamp
securely to his belt, Aladdin filled his
pockets, his sleeves and both arms
with the beautiful fruit that grew all
about him.
Give me the lamp! Give me the
lamp demanded the magician when
he saw Aladdin coming up the stairs
When Aladdin refused because his
hands were full of fruit, the magician
became very angry, threw another
pinch of powder in the fire and the
earth closed up once more, locking
Aladdin in its blacknesS.

with the two bars extending from the
outside uprights, meeting in point
over the middle latticed portion. Such
trellis should be tall, if it's object is
to add height to a wall, and there
should be no joining of one trellis to
another except where the lattices be-
long to single trellis.
Fan-Shaped Trellises.
The fan-shaped trellis is the most
difficult to construct, but it is decid-
edly ornamental. If the spread is
very wide, such a trellis has no very
decided effect upon the proportions of
a wall, because the width offsets the
height and the balance is preserved.
For this very reason, fan-Shaped trel-
Uses may be used to advantage on
sides of houses that have excellent
proportions, but against which trel-
lis looks well. If the spread is slight,
compared with the height, the wall
may appear higher than otherwise,
while a low-spreading fan trellis ac-
cents width.
On Front of House.
When a house is built with the side
| toward the street, the decorative ele-
mentS of the front entrance are miss
ing from the most conspicuous point
better, or the sunlight enter the rooms
where it is most desired by such a side
position. When houses are so placed,
trellises are a decided advantage, for
they break the monotony of the side
wall which is on the street.
Double houses frequently have en-
frances on different sides of the build
ing, which leaves a long stretch of
wall, broken by windows only. When
IN y-nh of te do
scribed, lattices may transform an
ugly exterior into eheA-witif genuine
charm.
Lattice Screens.
In turning from ornamental trellises
to lattice work, we find that a main
purpose is a screen around a clothes
yard, a cellar way or any part of a
lawn that is given over to utilitarian
purposes. Such a lattice is like an
ornamental fence, but much more
pleasing.
A fence forms a more definite divi-
sion of the property. while a lattice
with it's open construction is meant to
separate portions of grounds from 9TH
erS. all of which belong to the same
residence or estate.
A lattice also is frequently used to
screen an end of a veranda, to protect
1t from the gaze of pasSerSby or from
other houses too near to be agreeable
Lattice fences are also used as back
stops to tennis courts, especially when
they are placed partly as protection
from strong winds. When put to such
purpose, latticeS are much .improved
by having crimson ramblers growing
over them, or some vine that has
foliage and flowers that beautify the
background.
