Cheese Toast.

Flake one pound of American
cheese with a fork. Heat one-half a
pint of rich milk or cream in a dou-
BILE boiler, thicken it with two table
spoonfuls of -four which has been
mixed with two tablespoonfuls of
water, and cook for five minutes. Add
two eggs, beaten, the cheese, four
drops of tabasco or a few grains of
cayenne pepper, and one-half a tea
spoonful of salt and a little onion
juice If liked. Cook slowly until the
cheese has melted and the mixture is
thick and creamy. Allow it to cool,
then add one and one-half teaspoon
fuls of baking powder. The cheese
mixture is then ready to spread on
the toast. Toast just one side of the
bread. Spread the cheese mixture
thickly on the untoasted side to the
very edge. If the cheese mixture
doesn't come to the edges they will be
brown and hard. Brown the cheese
delicately under low gas flame or
in the oven. The slow heat allows the
cheese mixture to heat through be-
fore 1t browns, gives 1t chance to
become light, and keeps the cheese
tender and soft. Too great heat
makes the cheese tough and stringy
IL you like, place strip of crisp bacon
across each slice of cheese toast.
Serve hot from the oven.

DIARY OF A
NEW FATHER
BY ROBERT e. DICKSON.
Wednesday Night.

w edneSddy Night.
We had a hot time at the bridge
club party over at the Stewards last
night on account of it being scientific
night, and in three tables l heard five
women tell all about eight operations
Ard then, while we were waiting for
Mrs. Stewart to dish up what she
calls refreshments, the smart babies
of the crowd began ballyhoo for
psycho-analysis.
Psycho-analysis Is something you
pay guy to tell you about your soul
when You want an alibi for stepping
out with somebody besides your own
wife or husband
We had all quit playing, and some
of the experts were Dragging about
what they could have done if they
had had different cards, and one OF
the women said; MY hands were
wonderful to tell fortunes with. but
they weren't much good for bridge -
And another of the mental light
weights said: why don't all of us
girls go down and have our fortunes
told by somebody real good?'
Another one said: "Oh. my dear
having your fortune told is SO old
fashioned. You are supposed to be
psycho-analyzed nowadays"
Well, | can always depend on my
wife riding the cowcatcher of train
of thought if it means spending some
money. And Joan said: "Oh, let's do
Wouldn't it be fun?''
One of the men sitting next to me
said: Say, just exactly what does
pSycho-analySiS mean anyway
And | said: why ask me? / have a
normal haircut, haven't T." And SC
he asked the women, and none Of them
could tell him, | guess, because they

did not fight over who would lecture
first, and he asked them again, and
one of them said: "Well---'' And he
said: "Well, what?' And finally one
of them said: why, it means to be
told all about yourself
l said: "And you are willing TO pay
some long-haired bozo to tell your
And she said: Certainly" And
said: And yet. if your husband told
you would go home to mamma" And
her husband said: you said it.,
brother"
So the women kept on talking about
psycho-analysis, and the way they
talked about it, it was nothing but an
other howl for womens rights. and
they talked and talked, and finally
some one said: Speaking of such
things, do any of you believe in
spirits?" And the vote was tie on
account of all the women saying yes
and all their husbands saying no,
unless you mean the kind in bottles.
One of the women said: 1--WE made
a table tip once by calling on the
spirits" And then the party sounded
like a chicken yard at corn time on
account of all the women saying ooh"
and "Ah" about 1t, and when 1t finally
broke up l found some more bad luck
headed my way on account of Joan
throwing our house open Thursday
night for three of the couples, the
wives of which are going to drag their
husbands over to try our table on the
spirits, and there has been a lot of
knocks passed over that table on ac-
count of Joan and me fighting at din
ner sometimes, but it was not spirits
that did 1t; 1t was temper, and / do
not mean my temper, either.

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Mrs. j. NJ. writes: II have two
the other years old. The younger
weighs q pounds and the older 80.
Both eat heartily and have plenty of
fresh air and sleep. They go to bed at
s o'clock and sleep until $50 or 10
am. They have cereal and cocoa for
breakfast. They will eat no vege-
tables except turnips. but have plenty
of soups and broths.
The older one is very nervous. /
had st. Vitus dance during pregnancy,
but recovered. Her grandmother has
epilepsy. Do you think this has any
thing TO do with the child's nerves?
What should they both weigh? Should
l give them cod liver oil?''
Answer-The average weight for
children of this age is 2S pounds for
the 212-year-old child and 30 pounds
for the 4-year-old. So the older child
is three pounds under average and the
younger but one pound. which in the
latter case is indicative of nothing.
Lack of vegetables is one thing to
be corrected, and lots of soups will not
take the place of milk, vegetables,
cereals and fruits.
A vegetable soup is excellent be-
cause of the vegetables in it and the
juices of the vegetables, but the child
needs other more bulky foods in the
diet
There is undoubtedly some inherited
nervous instability, since both the
grandmother and yourself have nerve
disorders. | would be careful that the
Child's body is built up and so offset

fit of sane care. good food and plenty

In that case there is every likeli-

Gus tendencies or they will not de-
velOp.

4 Dry. Itching Scalp.

Mrs. B.-The following treatments
will help relieve the dry, itching scalp:
The night before you shampoo your
hair apply warmed olive oil to your
scalp. saturate pad of absorbent cot
ton with the oil and tie it on your
head. Next day wash your hair with
pure white soap and rinse well. Have
the shampoo treatment twice month.
Every other day rub some scalp food
into your scalp and on alternate days
apply an antiseptic wash. The scalp
food may be made of two ounces white
vaseline, two ounces lanolin, one and
one-half teaspoons flowers of sulphur
and 10 grains quinine sulphate. The
wash may be made by dissolving boric
acid in one pint of boiling water to
make saturated solution, and adding
two ounces of powdered sulphur. AS
the sulphur does not dissolve in water
the lotion must be shaken up before
being applied to the scalp. Build up
your general health and try to over
come the nervousness also.

stomach trouble Perhaps, too, you
have some decaying teeth or
catarrhal condition. Have a thorough
physical examination to ascertain the
true cause of the trouble before 1t de-
velOps more serious symptoms. 1t is
likely that your diet needs regulating.
Every day eat some fresh fruit. salad
and succulent vegetables, like spin
ach, string beans, cabbage, carrots,
turnips, tomatoes, etc. Avoid constl-
patton by taking laxative foods, such
AS dates, figs, prunes and bran. Drink
five or six glassfuls of water daily be-
tween meals. Take plainly of outdoor
exercise. The mentholated salve
agrees with most skins. but it may be
that your lips are particularly SEN

An Oily Skin.
Dear Miss Leeds-Please give me q
remedy for an excessively oily com
plexion. NV nose is generally red
around the nostrils. | cleanse my
face with cold cream every night.
How can l regain a healthy. rosy
skin? y. Y. Il.
Answer--After using the cold cream
and wiping it off. wash your face with
pure CASTLE soap and warm water.
Rinse well in clean warm water then
in cold. Add a few drops of tincture
of benzoin to the rinsing water to act
as an astringent. The redness of your
nose may be in part due to poor cir
culation and the remedy is more ac-
tive exercise and a stimulating cold
or tepid sponge bath each morning.
Before the bath rub Your body all
