A few Strawberries still are being

NEW YORK, June 2S.-The advance
In the renewal rate of money today to
5 per cent and prospects OF n firm ten
dency for the next week or more had
little immediate effect on the bond
market, which was regulated more by
the technical conditions that have been
following it for some time. but later
prices showed the results of it. Trans
actions were considerably larger than
of late.
The general trend of the market was
toward a lower level. While there has
been less urgent selling in the great
ma iority of active issues recently,
there are soft spots in the list which
give the impression of a declining
market. AS matter Of fact, the av-
erage change has been very slight
during the past week.

This Is probably the most popular

Though it Is now used quite gen.
orally, 1t first became popular in the
political sense. applied to the man
who was neutral or noncommittal
until one side or the other had won.
1t comes to us from an ancient
Latin phrase which, translated It.

| FEW PRICE CHANGES
| REPORTED AT MARKET
Peaches Lower Than Last Week
With Strawberries Marked
Higher.

Prices at Center Market this week
are practically the same as they were
last week. when several reductions
on fruits and vegetables greeted the
marketing housewife. There are q
few changes among fruits. but the
solid items on the Sunday dinner
menu are the same.
Peaches were reduced during the
week, and this morning they were
selling at 40 cents a basket-1O cents
below last weeks quotation. Straw
berries. however, are. higher, with
most dealers charging 25 cents a
quart, against last weeks 20 cents.
Watermelons. which were demand
ing as high as $1.75 apiece last week
with low price Of $3.50. are down a
little today. The average price on
the early melons Is $1.25 apiece.
Oranges eased upward during the
last seven days. and today they are
demanding rs cents a dozen. Grape.
fruit. too. is a bit higher. bringing Is
and 20 cents apiece, against the two
for-a.Quarter rate last week. Honey
dew melons remain high with the de-
mand for 81 and $1.25 each.
Raspberries are in this week at CO
cents a quart, but that level will be
maintained only a short while as the
cherries are bringing only so cents a
pound this week, representing a Is.
cent reduction in the last two weeks,
while cooking cherries, or "pie cher
ries," as some Of the dealers call them.
are In this week at 25 cents a quart.
Cantaloupes are bringing rs cents
apiece at most dealers who handle the
better grade of produce.
Lima beans still demand a dollar a
quart, but dealers believe they are
due for a real fall July I, when the
Carolina shipments arrive. From that
time on they will bring the normal
prices that most housewives can afford
and do pay.
Dairy products and meats have
varied but little In the past month.
The best eggs are bringing IS to as

had for 80 cents. The best creamery
butter Is IS and so cents a pound,

addition of a large quantity of sugar
makes it necessary to consider the
jam as CONNECTION rather than as

practice Is sometimes generally desir

Your Baby and Mine


Mrs. b. L. r. writes-"A few weeks
ago I wrote you about my baby and
now want to know what makes my
3-year-old boy grit his teeth at night.
He has been examined by a good baby
specialist who said he had no worms
and he thought the child was so active
that he did it from exhaustion from
overplayihg. He has q good diet and
sleeps soundly except for his gritting
habit"
Answer-It seems undoubtedly a
combination of fatigue and the wrong
food at his night meal. One mother
noticed that her boy gritted his teeth
after eating eggs. In that case 1t is
easy enough to stop the teeth grit
ting. I doubt very much IL it ever
has anything to do with worms. That
is one of those old theories to which
I find 1t hard to subscribe. Indiges.
ton Is far more likely to be the cause.
and Of course IL the child Is fatigued
it would be still more difficult for him
to digest even an ordinary supper.
Bring him in half hour or more be-
fore his dinner and keep him quiet.
Undress him and let him lie on the
bed quietly and then put on his bath.
robe while he has his dinner. He
u
His dinner should be light-vegetables
or a cereal and milk, and a glass of
milk to drink, few prunes. or a dish
Of apple sauce or other fruit and a
piece Of plain cake or two plain
cookies. There is no supper for small
children quite so satisfactory as fruit
sauce and cereal and milk. and this
surely will cause no indigestion.
Mrs. +. w. H. writes-My baby Of
eight months weighs % pounds. has
two teeth, sits. alone and is starting
to creep and has his four bottles of
milk a day and eats everything He
does not sleep we'll and when he is
put down cries so terribly that I am
all worn out with him. He has had
whooping cough. Would that cause
it?
Answer-He is a tremendous weight
and if he eats everything that is no
doubt the cause of his restlessness
and not the whooping cough, though
| this may have contributed to the bad
habit of not sleeping regularly, and
now you are having time getting
| him back into his good habits. You
can correct his diet by following the
advice given In the feeding leaflet
which / will send free upon request,
sent in care of this paper, with self
addressed envelope. I am sure you
will see that this correction will have
a beneficial influence on the sleeping.
Also you may have to be firm about
leaving the baby alone when he is put
down for his regular maps.

I. have again tried to strike
slightly varied note in this week 8
meals. There may be a general i'm
preston of somewhat elaborate dishes
for everyday home meals, but exam
nation will, think, show that these
meals are both economical and prac-
teal.
Each meal has been studied as
usual in relation either to the pre-.
ceding one or to the one that will fol-
low. For example, the individual
shortcakes are planned on the same
day when Strawberries have been
served at breakfast and when biscuit
dough has been made.
While the important element of
simplicity should be stressed at all
seasons, the somewhat jaded hot
weather appetite will welcome such
dishes as those that appear this week.
For example. there Is nothing more
appetizing than fresh crab meat.
Fresh mushrooms give another FLIP
to our interest in hot-weather meals.
Then notice the Grape suzettes or
French pancakes. These are really
very simple and yet give a touch to
the simplest home meal. To prepare
them, use two eggs, one-half cup OF
flour, two-thirds cup of milk, two tea.
spoons Of sugar and one-eighth tea.
spoon of salt. First beat the eggs
lightly. then add the dry materials
sifted together and the milk. Have
ready a hot, creased omelette pan
and pour in very tiny quantities OF
butter so as to make very thin layer.
Bake over hot fire and turn each
pancake quickly. When it Is brown
on both sides roll up into tiny rolls
and serve with orange sauce. Make
the sauce as follows:
Cream two tablespoons of butter
with three-quarters of cup of pow
dered sugar. Add one-quarter of a
cup of cream, beaten egg, the juice
