The promise of party to the grade
that earliest enrolled 100 per cent of

The Best Food

It has been repeated so often that
we are tired of hearing it; but it is
just as true, and as neglected
truth, as it was the first time we
were told about it: Milk is the best
known food 1t makes children grow,
regulates adults and is good for
everybody. Buttermilk is an excel
lent food and the taste for it should
be cultivated
If you do not like to drink milk,
use it in cooked dishes. Each child
should have a pint or pint and half
of it daily, and each adult should
have a glass of it. If you use it
cooked, use each day some orange
juice, tomato juice or lemon juice to
prevent scurvy.
To use milk in other ways than
raw, serve it in cocoa or. chocolate;
plain or chocolate custard; bread,
rice or tapioca pudding in frozen
desserts; in creamed vegetables, gray
les or soups.

In Confidence
LOOKING INTO THE MIND
OF MAN

Dear Miss Flo:
Do you think it is good policy
for a wife to let her husband see
how much she loves him, and how
necessary he is to her happiness, or
is it better for her to appear indiffer
ent? When a man knows for a GER
tainty that a woman's heart is his,
is he likely to undervalue it?
I have only been married a short
time, and 1 am anxious to keep my
husbands love. Please advise me.
G. A.
A mans attitude toward love un-
degoes a radical change on his we'd
ding day.
We all know that before marriage
the more difficult a woman is to
win lie more the man promises her,
and the more difficult a woman is to
win the more the man pursues her,
and the more a woman throws herself
at a man the more adroltly he lodges
her.
During the period of courtship the
thing that is of more Importance to
| him than anything else in the world
is the state o. mind of the girl he
loves. It's a wonderlll sentimental
adventure, and he follows all her
moods. When she is coy and diff
! cult it arCuses all his sporting in
stinct, and when he succeeds in TAX
| ing her away from his rivals, and she
finally surrenders to him, he is thrill
| ed with a sense Of being a conquering,
irrestible hero.
But marriage is different story
altogether A man expects the cap
ture to end the chase, and he doesn't
want to have it run on the balance
of his life He expects marriage to
finish all doubts, fears, heart-aches
and speculations about the woman he
loves, so that he will be free to give
his undivided attention to his wor k.
For that reason, the tactics that
won a woman a husband will not
serve to hold him, and the wife who
tries to pique her husbands interest
in her by her Indifference is more apt
to land in the divorce court than to
strengthen her position in the mans
heart.
For men do not want to be kept
guessing about their wives. They
want to- be sure of them. The man
who is married to a woman who keeps
him in constant doubt of her affection
and keeps him on the verge of a, ner-
vous breakdown with jealousies and
doubts and suspicious does not ~thinl
Arizona state miner., 1927-04-02
PlaymateS

The associates of child have much
to do with his character building 1t
is important that mothers should
know with whom their children play.
The f1nicky mother who imagines her
little boy is the only good little boy
in the neighborhood is deluded, un-
less she lives in totally unworthy
neighborhood Worthy traits are Of
ten found in the most unexpected
places and ''mama's darling" is like
ly to be spoiled and selfish and less
noble than some street urchin who
has right ideas of honor and fair
play and is clean minded.
Without being suspicious and snob-
ish, it is the duty of every mother
to watch her children's playmates );
and to guard her children from evil
persons and influences, keeping them
in good company until their ideas
and habits are formed. When you
see Johnnie or Mary forming new
friendships, it is we'll for you to be
on the alert to determine what is
the. character of these friends If
they are the right kind, encourage
the Friendships; if not, nip it in the
bud.
Children must have playmates and
plenty of play If mother is too
particular and bans the presence of
all ones friends, and does not pro-
vide satisfactory substitutes, the re-
bellious child will go out and find
his own companions, surreptitiously
and the chances are they will not be
wholesome associates The wise
mother keeps open house to her chill
dren's friends, during all the years
of their continuance at home. 1t may
be hard on the rugs and the chairs,
to have them romping all over the
place-but what are mere furnishings
when compared to the character of
a child?

Gingham Ensembles

April first is no FOOLS day for the
hOmemaker Winter has gone, spring
is settled, summer is coming. It's
housecleaning and dressmaking time.
The home must be stripped Of winter
drapery; and washable, crisp, summer
hangings put up. Wash materials
must also be fashioned into warm
weather clothes to take the place of
winter furs and furbelOws.
With the rage for gingham as an
interior decorating fabric, and The
vogue for a cotton summer in fash
ion, the homemaker turns to ging-
hams to solve her problem for a
tubfast and sunfast fabric that will
not only be colorful, but will retain
it's fresh crispness throughout the
season. The house is matter of
curtains, slip covers, cushions. But
the wardrobe is quite another prob
lem. There have been changes in
style since last year
Fashion has decreed the short sleeve
passe for street wear. Comfort will
still control styles for house dresses
Skirts remain short, even shorter than
| last year, though this must be tenn
pered with judgment.
| Fashion also favors the ensemble
and here we have an ideal fabric in
gingham for summer wear. Ensemble
coats should be lined, not only fol
the compose effect, but to give them
more body and shape. In gingham
a black and white novelty may be
lined with one-tone red without dan
ger of the colors running into one
another in the laundry. Therefore
the gingham ensemble promises as
great popularity for the summer az
the palm beach suit enjoyed some
years ago The coats are made tt
fit over a one piece dress which ma.
o rmay not be sleeveless, or the dress
may have the sleeves while the Goa
