Peter thought at once of old Mr..
Biacksnake and wondered IL the latter
could be after the babies of Mr.. and
MRS. Redwing. Then he remembered
that the nest of Mr.. and Mrs. Ped.

rushes and could be reached only hv
someone who could swim or f1y. He
knew that Mr.. Blacksnake was a land

OF course, Peter stretched his necl,
and peered and peeked trying to see
what all the fuss was about. bur he
saw nothing to cause all that excite
ment. After a while Rsdwing and
Mrs, Redwing quieted down. They
flew off about their business. Once

place where he could see quite clearly
the roof of Jerry Muskrat's house
standing above the water.
At first Peter didn't notice anything
out of the usual. On the top of that
roof the sun poured down warm and
bright. Huh" said Peter to himself
Jerry Muskrat must have added a
lot Of mud to the top of his house

going to add anything 7 should have
thought he would have put rushes
there instead of, mud, This isn't the

What TomorrowMeans to You
Leo.
BY MARY BLAKE.

Leo.
Tomorrow's s planetary aspects reveal
nothing of special interest about busi-
ness. They do, however, indicate a
benign condition, favoring all sports
and recreations. They also point to
Individual emotions, thus, by every to-
ken, stamping approval on any we'd
ding celebrated under such auspices.
In this connection, the signs denote
continuity and permanence, two big
factors in the welded estate 1t is
also a good opportunity for travel, or
for change of surroundings. During
the latter part of the day the aspects
become a trife overcast, with cor
responding depression Of spirit. This,
however, should not worry you, and
an assumption of good humor and the
Will not to be influenced by such trans
itory conditions will enable you to rise
superior to such an atmosphere,
A boy born tomorrow will be blessed
with sound constitution and will
cause practically no worry or concern.
A girl, however, will, unless care be,
taken in infancy to eounteraet 1t, be-
come anemic and subject to spells Of
nervousness and irritability. The boy
will be boisterous and noisy. whereas
the girl promises to develop, If en-
couraged, a chronic and complaining
streak. In character, they will both
be averse to study-the boy because
he will prefer to play, and the girl
because it requires an effort. While
not discouraging the boy from active
participation in sports. he must, for
his own good, be forced to learn, as he
will possess gifts of ability and inteIli-
gence that must be developed. The
girl must have instilled into her mind
the benefit OF work, and must not be
allowed to lead a life of laZiness and
uselessness.
If tomorrow is your birthday, you
are fussy and fastidious, and are very
keen on convention, and doing the
right thing at the right time and in
the right place. Notwithstanding
your self-reliance, you are of modest
disposition and invariably amiable.
Your ways, in spite of their correct
ness at all times, are very attractive
and winsome. Troubles that would
disturb the equanimity Of others are
handled by you in an effhand, humor-
Gus way, and all difficulties that pre-
sent themselves to you are overcome
in this pleasing manner.
You are very persuasive and pos
sess the faculty of making others see
as YOU see. This Is q wonderful as
set. and could. if you wished to do SO,
be developed to an amazing extent.
Your character, your geniality and
your high principles will always in
spire deep love and tender devotion.
Well known persons horn on that
date are John I. Blair f1nancier; Al.
bert Brisbane, reformer; John b,
Cough, temperance lecturer; Willard

FOODS IN ASPIC ARE ALWAYS
NODDED.
of jelly if made savory by spices and
herbs. 1t adds it's own nourishing
value to the food with which 1t is COM
bined. 1t may be likened TO a con-
gealed consomme.
There are various ways of making
aspic jelly. but here is a recipe that
will be found satisfactory:
One knuckle of veal bone with some
of the meat adhering to it. One pound
beef with soup bone. Salt and pep
per to taste. One bay leaf or one
sprig of sweet basil, sweet marjeram,
thyme or other fragrant herb, accord,
ing TO any special flavor desired.
Process of Making.
Cover with water once. Bring to a
boil, let simmer for several hours,
four at least. Pour the liquor through
a colander or sieve, TO eliminate bones,
Set aside to cool. Skim off any fat
and bring TO boil. Add two egg whites
slightly beaten and mixed with just
a very little cold water and the Juice
from one-half a good-sized lemon. Boil
for about five minutes. Then strain
a jelly bag. Pour into a wide
mouth jar and set aside, if not needed
Immediately.
Meat in Aspic.

meat and remove all bones and fat

mold and allow it TO set sufficiently

to hold the meat in suspension. Pour

side to cool. Cnmold when ready to
serve. Rubbing molds with a little
olive oil before putting the aspic in
will make the jelly unmold readily
and give it d slightly glazed surface
that is attractive. This is a favorite
way of preparing boned chicken II
the jelly is well seasoned, 1t is cool
and delicious dish.
Aspic Dishes.
Flaked fish may be seasoned and
mixed with aspic in this same way
Vegetable salad in aspic, tomatoes in
aspic, etc, are all delicacies that any
housewife can serve with little
trouble. Salad dressing should always
be served separately. More recipes for
foods in aspic will be sent on request
accompanied by a self-addressed and
stamped envelope.

Nutrition Nuggets.

In preparing potatoes be very
careful about the manner of cooking.
If they are boiled before peeling the
loss of important salts is only about
3 per cent. If peeled and soaked in
cold water, more than one-quarter OF
the bodybuilding material and much
of the salts are washed away in the
water
The green leaf of plant has been
called a chemical laboratory. The
color is due TO an element called
chlorophyl. Although at one time
we thought of this as merely a green
coloring, we know now that there are
two green colors and two yellow,
each one more or less significant as
to the food value of the leaf. In gen
eral, it is supposed that the green
leaves of any plant contain more
vitamins than yellow.
II it is necessary TO plan diet rich
in iron use turnip tops, chard, green
cabbage. dandelion greens, collards
and mustard greens. The avera ge
portion-that is, from three TO four
ounces-may give as high as so per
cent Of the lime required daily. When
il is necessary TO speed up the lime
intake a double portion of one OF
these green's is easy.
For all-round food value the cherry
stands high in the list of fruits, giving
even more than the valuable apple
Cherries contain more iron than white
of egg, milk or pears, and in this i'm
portant regard are equal to the to
mato. There is also a large percentage
of sugar.
Although the time spent by each
food in the stomach is not by any
means the only point to be considered
it is interesting to note the compare
tive periods required by different
foods for gastric digestion. For exam
pie, raw cabbage leaves the stomach
in two and one-half hours. Boiled
cabbage takes two hours longer. In
general, If there is weakness of the
stomach muscles choose foods that are
known to be sent on their way
quickly.
