When you buy fruit from a push
cart or other type of street stand,
be sure to prepare it carefully before
eating. Fruits that can be pared
should be washed and then skin re-
moved. Fruits such as figs or dates
should receive special attention, since
their sticky consistency may cause
germs to collect on the surface. Since
these fruits cannot very well be sub
jected to vigorous washing, the pre-
caution to take is that of buying them
only from a dealer that keeps his
wares well protected from dust.

disease and as something that helps

has practically no effect in the pre-

oil is much the most effective.

Buying Child's Portrait.

No greater shopping privilege awaits
any proud mother than that of buying
her child's portrait. 1t is a recent
privilege. too, because not many years
ago portraits were for the royal and
landed only Today child's portrait
done in oils or pastels costs little more
than a first-class photograph.
Shopping for a child's portrait is
really a matter of shopping for an
artist. AT least, a few woman artists
have made children's portraits spe-
cialty and their work is uniformly
satisfactory. In addition there are
students and beginners who do
worthwhile work at somewhat lower
charges.
Though mothers know in what pose
their children look "cute" they may
not know what the effect of the cute
posture will be in a finished picture.
Trained artists know best. and the
arrangement of the picture is best left
TO them. Usually an artist devotes as
much time to studying effects as to
executing the actual canvas
Much Of the charm of a child's por-
trait will lie in the colorS employed.
For that reason bright outdoor or high
light effects are preferred to indoor
ones. Above all it is certain to be dis

Your Baby and Mine
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

With fuller knowledge OF the value
of sunlight as a help in the cure of
ricketts,, because of it's ability to assist
the body to utilize minerals in the
food to make strong bones and teeth,
we arrive at the next step, how best
to get the value of sunlight. This is
no real problem with the child who
runs about in the sunlight daily, wear.
ing a minimum of garments, but it
still remains a problem for the infant
who is swathed in clothes.
The baby who is born in the Spring
can have sun baths as early as 4 or 3
weeks of age, depending on the eli
mate and the chld's condition. There
are various ways of giving sun baths.
The sun must fall on the child di-
rectly, not through window glass, and
the baby must be exposed to it for
only a very short time at first and
later for increasingly longer periods.
If the mother finds it inconyenient
to take the baby out, she can put him
in front of an open window during
those parts of the day when the sun
is hottest, from 10 to l pm. Both
cheeks may he exposed to the sun
and the feet and legs for not more
than five minutes at first. Turn the
head from side to side so that the
eyes are protected. The next day the
time can be slightly increased. The
skin will probably become slightly red
and then tanned. The stomach and
back can be treated the same way
If the baby is subjected to the sun
light out Of doors, the weather must
be warm enough so that he is not
chilled by the breeze. A light cotton
garment can be worn, as this does
not exclude the suns rays. The body
can be exposed for 10 to ) minutes,
turning the child from back to front.
1t is best when putting the baby in
the sun to expose only the hands,
face and legs at first. Later, when
these are tanned and he is used to the
sun. the body can be barred and tanned.
The Department of Labor folder for
children has this to say of sun baths:
THE sun baths may be heightened un-
til the baby lies in the sun an hour
in the morning and an hour in the
afternoon. In July and August sun
baths should be given before II and
after 3 pm. On very hot days the
baby should not be given sun baths
between these hours. If he is out
doors at that time, his head should
be protected. The hands and face
should be well tanned by the middle
of April. the arms and legs by the
middle of May and the whole body in
June. A good tan is evidence that the
violet rays are being effective
One has only this warning to offer:
Be temperate and careful with the
suns rays during the very hot season.

Chops With Potato Balls.

Scrape the flesh from the rib bones
and broil the chops as usual. Spread
with maitre d'hotel butter and dispose
in the center of a platter, frill ON
the end of each bone, and candied
sweet potato balls at the end of the
dish. TO make the potato balls with
q cutter, scoop balls from raw sweet
potatoes. The potatoes should first
be neatly pared. For a pint of balls
melt onefourth cupful of butter in a
casserole, add one-fourth cupful of
maple sirup or sugar and when very
hot put in the balls and shake them
over the fire until quite hot, then
cover and let cook in the oven until
tender. Baste frequently with the
liquid in the dish and add salt before
the cooking is completed.
