WHEN WE co SHOPPING
BY MRS. HARLAND III. ALLEN.

chaise Tongue, IL you like lazy com
fort, and no porch seems quite com.
plete without swing or hammock!
For the sake of coziness, warmth
and resiliency under the feet, one or
more rugs must be included, Just as
much as If the porch were an indoor
room. There are many practical and
popular types of grass fiber rugs
which come in a variety of coIors
and in both plain and stenciled effects
And last. but not least, no porch
could be considered complete without
that most important part Of the
equipment-the shades. If open to
the sun, the wind and the rain, not
to mention the inquisitive gaze of the
neighbors, no porch can contribute its
full ur-a-day quota of comfort
and pleasure for the family that
might otherwise be enjoyed Then,
too, the shades not only make the
porch more livable. but by excluding
the sunlight which would be radiated
from the porch floor against the wall
and through. the windows, actually
keep the adjacent rooms of the house
several degrees cooler.

ried and did Office work until last De-
cember. One tells me to eat lots of
vegetables, another not to eat white
bread, and another not to eat onions.
C. c.
The fact that you have several
forms of trouble necessitating medical
attention makes it impossible for me
to do more than give you general di-
rections. / will, however, give you a
few suggestions. The first one is not
to pay any attention to what your diff
ferent friends say, otherwise you will
be more confused than you are now.
A diet for ulcer of the stomach should
be similar to the one you are now fol-
lowing, with milk and vegetables in
proper combinations. I suggest vege-
table pureeS. Prepare these by cook
ing thoroughly such vegetables as
peas, asparagus, celery, spinach and
carrots. Strain through "a sieve and
combine with equal parts of thick
ened milk to make cream soup. I also
suggest fruits such as baked sweet ap-
pie, baked bananas and steamed dates.
For cereals you may have wheatena,
cream of wheat or rice and gruels
made from any of the cereals. But
ter, cream and soft cooked eggs, cot
tage cheese and olive oil will give you
fat, and for desserts I should depend
largely on unSweetened puddings, such
as cornstarch or frozen creams. You
will understand. / am sure, that you
may not be able to take all Of these
foods, but the diet I have outlined is
of such character as should be guide
for you.

Creamed Lamb.

Prepare the lamb precisely as for
any creamed meat dish by combining
the creamed meat In proper proper
tions with nicely made white sauce.
To make the croustades cut from a
loaf of rather stale bread squares
about two inches deep. Trim the
crusts from the squares and from the
center of each scoop carefully with a
sharp knife enough of the soft part of
the bread to make hollow in the cen.
ter of each croustade. Cover each
with little melted butter and brown
in the oven. Fill the hollow in each
with creamed lamb and arrange the
croustades on a platter, pouring the
.creamed meat around them. This way
of serving leftover meat makes an
attractive change from the everyday
toast slices.

What TomorrowMeans to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Gemini.


The planetary aspects continue
clouded tomorrow and gradually as
sumo an adverse character. Only
customary and routine duties should
receive attention, as there is nothing
that indicates optimism or self-confi-
dence. On the contrary, a. sense of
restlessness will be felt: dissatisfac-
ton. not only with yourself but with
others, will be experienced; and there
will be an entire absence of delibera-
tive calm and poise SO essential to
success. No correspondence of an inn
portant character should be handled
No agreements or contracts involving
financial or other obligations should
be entered into, nor, If possible, should
any journey be undertaken.
The signs denote that child born
tomorrow will be more than ordinarily
subject to the ailments of infancy
1t will, however, emerge from these
successfully, more as a consequence
Of proper care and nutrition, than as
the result of medical prescriptions
and advice. It's disposition will be
submissive and obedient, and it will
always be known for its gentleness
and truthfulness of character. 1t will
will have to be forced to participate
in the games and recreations for It's
companions. At no time in its life
will 1t be ambitious for material sue
cess, but still always be striving to
acquire a fund of information that
will be the delight of it's friends, of
whom 1t will have many. but such
information it will be unable to con-
vert into any practical benefits.
If tomorrow is your birthday the
indications demonstrate that you are
a creature of impulses and, nothwith-
standing the fact that they are inva-
riably generous, your apparent inabil-
ity to deliberate and mediate has
often caused you serious trouble. In
tuition as steady diet, can never
take the place Of cool, calculating
judgment.
You have a combative Temperament
and will often argue from a point
Of view with which you do not agree
for the sake of differing with others
Your ideas on any and every subject
are very extreme and, for you. there
Is never a middle course of COM
promise, or of give and take" You
are a very loyal friend, but dan
gerous enemy, as you harbor feel
ings of revenge or resentment, which
do you no good and cause little trou-
BILE to your opponents.
You love with strength and ardor,
and will never be satisfied with that
degree of affectionate comapnionship
which, in most happy marriages, sue
ceeds the period of violent love-mak-
ing You expect a continuous hon

Porch Furnishings.
BY p. L. KICKER,

A we'll 1urnlSneO pOrCn answers the
same purpose in Summer that a well
ter, and one should feel the same
pride in its furnishings.
1t is not the amount spent, either,
that brings the most satisfying results,
but rather the judicious selection of
suitable pieces appropriately placed.
So numerous are the kinds of furni-
ture obtainable that almost any re-
quirements of type or pocketbook can
easily be met.
The hickory furniture which was
used almost exclusively on porches
a few years back still has it's advo-
Gates, but as rule it is more suit
able for the types of porches where
a rustic or garden atmosphere is the
effect that we are striving to create.
1t is highly suitable for rural set
tings, and is especially adapted for
use where the furniture is sure to be
carried out on the lawn or into the
garden. and left out overnight, to be
drenched with dew or possible show
ers. Where the furniture is to be
exposed to the weather, hickory prob
ably cannot be excelled.
But with the coming of the more
honey" porch, the fiber and grass
types of furniture have come into
great favor. Not the least that can
be said in point of their superiority
is that they can be used inside during
the Winter months, with perfect fit

house, no matter how formal the
character of the rest of the furnish
ings. II there is a sunroom which

Soda Is Indispensable in the Home
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

Soda can be put to innumerable uses
IN home. The cook knows the value
OF SaleratuS cooking Soda) as q re-
storing agent, an alkaH that offsets
100 much acidity in foods and in a linn
1ted degree actually restores some
spoilage. 1t is in a measure purifier
also. since it is Il mild antiseptic.
To be specific in these matters, let
us suppose that when YOU test the
cream in the morning it is found to be
Just OH the turning point of becoming
sour. To a cupful of such cream add
a tiny pinch of soda, stir the cream
well. Let it stand for a moment or
so and taste it again. You will find
no trace of the acidity. 1t is all right
TO use III coffee or on cereals or for
any purpose. If the cream has become
actually sour, the pinch of soda will
not restore it in this way. though it
will make the OSeam excellent to use
Tor some kinds of cooking. No cream
OF tartar is required when sour milk
or cream is used in cooking: the acid
ity of the liquid takes it's place, and
soda alone is required.

Nutrition Nuggets.

Remember that children will not
gain properly either in height or
weight unless the diet has plenty of
mineral salts. This means foods con-
tanning lime, iron and phosphorus.
One way to express this in one SEN
tence is to say: Give the children an
abundance of fresh fruits and vege
tables and milk.
A baby at the end of it's first year
should be having a little fruit juice,
some egg yolk, a little beef juice and
some strained vegetable. The guam
tity of each of these must be deter
mined by the individual case. A good
general diet, however, is not more
than tablespoon of fruit juice, not
more than teaspoon of beef juice,
about half the yolk Of an ordinary
egg and about one tablespoon of
strained cooked vegetable.
There is still and probably always
will be a difference of opinion among
leaders in the field of nutrition as to
the relative advantages Of a vegeta-
rian diet and a mixed diet. It Is prob
able, however, that best results are
obtained when a portion Of the body
building material is obtained from
animal protein.
Although nuts are very high in
food value, they are frequently swal-
lowed without being properly chewed.
This makes it necessary to caution
mothers by saying that nuts are very
nourishing," but when they are given
to children see that they are pulver-
lied and either made into nut butter
or that the nut meal is used in COM
bination with other foods. Another
important item to remember is that
because of their high fat content, nuts
must not be given in a diet where
there is an abundance of this element.
While it is really an art to be able
to use leftovers attractively, certain
things must be considered First,
twice cooked food, no matter how del
icately the process is carried out is
not ideal for children. Second, when
attractive dishes are prepared from
leftovers see that as much time as is
safe elapses before the next serving.
Naturally, care must be taken not to
keep the food long enough to endan-
ger it's keeping qualities.
During the time just before school
days begin children should have very
regular meals. School days some
times make regularity a little easier
to accomplish, but the meals for the
''runabout period" must be just as
carefully planned. A good schedule
would be breakfast at 1880, mid-morn-
ing lunch at 1880. dinner at 1870 and
supper at 6.

grease from dish water. Do not allow
the pipes to become SO clogged that
water will not go through them, for
then they will require more drastic
treatment. 1t is when the water which
should drain quickly, flows slowly, that
very strong solution of soda and boil
ing water should be sufficient. Pour
the solution down the pipe slowly and
continuously. The pipes will become
heated and the solution will melt and

dissolve the fat. And soon the water
will flow with it's usual rapidity down
the drain pipes.
Magic Cleanser.
Since washing soda is such a magic
cleanser, it must be rather strong.
Therefore do not keep the hands long
in water which has soda in solution.
A dish mop may be used when wash
ing the dishes. The little soda that is
used in laundry work will scarcely be
perceptible in it's action on the skin,
and when using soda as a solvent the
hands do not go into the solution,
which should be strong. / may add
that it is a precaution that a wise
housewife takes when she pours boil
ing soda and water frequently down
sink drains. 1t prevents stoppage and
thereby saves trouble.
