Teach Children to Wash
Fruits and Vegetables

Children should have fruits, also
celery. tomatoes and salads not only
to give variety In their school lunches,
but especially to supply the vitamines
and other food elements necessary for
healthy growth, agree nutrition spe-
cialists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. When they eat
any of these uncooked foods at home
it is probable that the mother has
washed the fruit or vegetable proper
ly before serving 1t. All market prod
uce need washing to remove dirt and
dust, bacteria, and sometimes particles
of spray residue. The best fruits and
usually the best-looking fruits are
those from trees which have been
properly sprayed while the fruit was
in its early stages and sometimes the
spray may not have weathered off the
fruit before harvest. Children should
not be given money to buy their own
fruit from hucksters or stands unless
there are facilities at school for wash
ing 1t. They should be drilled In the
practice Of washing what they eat OF
these uncooked products, as q matter
of ordinary cleanliness.

EGGSHELLS

THERE are various superstitiOns
1 current in this country with regard
to eggshells, and all of them can be
found existing in practically similar
form In Europe. Most common of our
eggshell superstitions are as follows !:
Burn your eggshels to prevent bad
luck: 1t is bad luck not to break the
shell after having eaten boiled egg
and powdered eggshells are good for
the ague.
1t Is custom with many people both
in Europe and America when they
have eaten a boiled egg-eaten 1t as a
boiled egg should be eaten, out OF the
shell In an egg cup-to put their spoon
through the bottom Of the shell ''for
luck" Napoleon III is said never to
have omitted this ceremony.
All these modern superstitions come
from the ancient belief in a connection
between eggshells and witches, which
was an old belief when the great Ro-
man naturalist Pliny mentioned 1t
nearly two hundred years ago. Ac-
cording to Pliny eggshells should be
broken lest witches and other evil
minded necromancers got hold of them
to work magic with. Among the north
ern nations witches used eggshells
which had not been sufficiently shat
tered as ships In which they sailed
across rivers and seas to regions where
winds and storms were brewed and
where they could be bought for suf-
ficient consideration to be afterwards
dealt with at retail by the weird sis
ters In eggshells they used to journey
to Lapiand where they learned not
only the control Of winds but much
other forbidden lore from the Lapps
and the "warlock Finns."
After the discovery of the Western
World the witches voyaged much in
eggshells to Bermuda, "the storm
vexed Bermoothes," also region of
storms and Of magic according to the
belief of our forefathers. From all
this 1t will be easily seen why it is
well to take the preeaution of so break
ing your eggshell that no witch can
use it for boat or for purposes of
necYomancy as indicated by Pliny. The
belief that puverized eggshell is good
for the ague comes from logical
train Of reasoning. The ancients be-
ifeved that diseases We're inflictIon
from evil spirits or witches. Now, for

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
Hot buildings go well on winter DAYS.
Almost everybody likes old-fashioned
indian or cornmeal pudding once in a
while, but not every housewife knows
how to make 1t. The United States
Department of Agriculture gives the
recipe below, and also directions for
making two other excellent buildings
using cornmeal, which may be either
white or yellow.
Indian Pudding.

l-3 cupful corn l teaspoo nful

~ cupful molasses VI cupful of raj
sins If liked
Cook the milk and the meal in a
double boiler 20 minutes; add the
molasses, raisins, salt and ginger; pour
into hot, buttered pudding dish and
bake hours in slow oven; serve
with cream. Vanilla ice cream with
this hot pudding is a favorite New
England combination.
Corn Meal and Fig Pudding.
/ cupful cornmeal cupful finely
1 cupful molasses chopped figs
8 cupfuls milk Cor eggs

Cook the cornmeal with cupfuls
OF milk; add the molasses, figs and

the eggs, well beaten. Pour into a
buttered pudding dish and bake in a
moderate oven hours or more. When
partly cooked add the remainder of
the milk or the cream without stirring
the pudding.

Pernanganate of Potash
Good for Making Stain

For pine floor, good brown stain
can be made by dissolving an ounce of
permanganate of potash in quart of
warm water. This liquid Is violet COL
ored, but when applied to wood. chemi-
cal action results and the wood Is
stained brown.
Another brown stain for either hard
wood or softwood is made from IL
ounces pulyerized gilsonite dissolved
in quart Of turpentine.
Apply either of these stains with a
clean brush or a sponge, says the
United States Department of Agricul-
tura taking even strokes parallel with
the grain of the wood, and wipe the
stained surface at once with clean,
soft cloth or cotton waste. After the
stain has dried for at least "a hours,
polish the floor with soft cloth, and
apply another coat If the color Is not
deep enough. or finish with varnish or
wax.

pepper sauce, or some similar, hot
sharp sauce, and some kind of COM
mercial meat sauce.
Suggestions on Using Flavors.
The suggestion Is made that the fla
vor of stews, soups, praised meats and
pot roasts is much improved If the
vegetables which they contain such as
onion, carrots, green peppers, toma-
toes, and others, are fried In little
fat before being cooked with the meat
Onion juice may be extracted by using
lemon squeezer. The seeds should
always be- removed before green pep
pers are used. Care should be taken
to serve the sweet, not the hot variety
unless the latter are wanted for some
special reason. Parsley may be grown
In the house all winter. The leaves
will keep long time If stored in
mint and celery tops may be dried
rubbed into bits and kept in alright
jars. Half bay leaf Is sufficient to
flavor three quarts of soup. Vinegar,
lemon juice and sour jelly, like cur
rant, are often used to favor the gravy
of a meat stew. These flavors combine
well with the flavor of Drowned flour,
but not with onions, cabbage or other
stronger flavors. Chopped pickles are
sometimes added to the gravy served
with boiled mutton, to serve the same
purpose as capers. They also give
distinctive flavor to sauces for fish. A.
minute amount of curry powder goes
long way when used in gravy.

there. Occasionally, 1t passed into
Germany as Aurora, where the first
famous woman Of that name was
Aurora Won Kielmanseek mother Of
Marshal SAKE In Iiyria, both the dawn
and the proper name were called Fora
and, as mark of endearment, Zorana.
Aurora has persisted in spite of the
canon prohibiting the giving of the
names Of heather gods in baptism.
Like most NEUROLOGICAL characters,
she Is Latin divinity, since Latin
names were used throughout Europe
and only comparatively modern critl-
cism has endeavored to distinguish be-
tween the distinct myth OF the Greek
and Latin races. Most NEUROLOGICAL
names, including Aurora. have their
vogue In France and England, which
are most under the dominance of fancy
with regard to names.
While no verses of note have been
addressed direct to Aurora, she Is
favorite subject with the poets who
find her personification much more

resented as rising out OF the ocean In

AMERICAN UNIVERSITY
DEGREE EDICT ISSUED
Candidates Must Present in March
Theses in Partial Fulfillment
of Requirements.

Members of the student body at
American University who are candi-
dates for degrees at the June convo-
cation, which will" be feld at the
university grounds west of Wfscon-
sin avenue in connection with the
dedication of the new buildings of
the College OF Liberal Arts, must
have completed any theses they ex-
pect to present in partial fulfillment
of the requirements for the degrees
by the last day OF March. This is
necessary in order to give ample op-
portunity for examining the theses
before the students are called upon
to defend them.
Under an arrangement recently
adopted at the university candidates
for the masters degree are not re-
quired to submit a thesis, but may
instead do class work amounting to
so per cent more than the ordinary
requirement. This provision does not
apply to candidates for the doctorate.
American University has accepted
the view expressed recently by the
University Of Iowa that the form of
a thesis may be as varied as the in
terests Of science, art and literature,
pure and applied" and that the
method of treatment may be SINH
larly varied. Under certain circum-
stances a thesis might take the form
of a creative work, such as a
mathematical system, philosophical
theory, poem or symphony, though
naturally technical, historical or
critical treatment are to be expected.
