like the body itself, they must grow. When they
get big enough, they crowd through the soft bone
and finally cut their way through the gum.
The first OF the teeth to appear arc the two
at the front and center of the lower jaw. These
are called the slower central i~ncisors," and they
appear when the baby is from six to nine months
of age.
After the lower central pair come the upper
i~nciscrs, not only the central ones, but also one
on each side OF the central pair, four in all. These
are cut at about the twelfth month.
Then to match the upper group there appear
two more lower incisors. By the time the baby
is IA or Is months old there arc eight front teeth,

SUGGEST WHOLE HAM TO
TIGHTEN KITCHEN LABORS

If there is cooked meat in the lar
der which may be quickly and easily
converted into an attractive main
dish, the housewife is fortified for
most any occasion. Unexpected com
pany will leave her unperturbed if
she has boiled or baked ham from
which she can make all sorts of ap-
petizing dishes, either cold or hot.
The fireless or pressure cooker may
be used to excellent advantage in
boiling the ham and then forty-five
minutes or an hour will be sufficient
to bake it.
Ways Of Using a Whole Ham
Ham Salad: Beat u cup heavy
cream until stiff, add 1 teaspoon
English mustard, II teaspoon salt
and dash of cayenne. Beat in
tablespoons of mayonnaise and fold
in 2 tablespoons grated horseradish,
IL cups chopped ham and IL cups
finely cut celery. Serve in mounds in
nests of lettuce leaves. Sprinkle with
paprika and garnish with rings of
stuffed olives.

baking dish place layer of cooked
broad noodles of any good ready

TRAINING CAMPS
FILLING FAST

The War Department has an
nounced that applications for adj
mission to the citizens military
training camps for the coming sum-
mer have passed the 10000 mark.
At this time last year 10000 had
not yet been reached. 1t is antici-
pated that applications throughout
the country this year will exceed
generously the total for 1927, and
that a large number Of candidates
will fail of admission because of
the fact that Congress has appro-
priated funds for the training Of
only $4,000 men.
The interest that young Ameri-
cans are showing in military train
ing is gratifying, quite aside from
the fact that the training camps are
providing for a nation prepared in
time of emergency. Indirect bene-
fits to be obtained through the
courses offered are many. The
physical condition of those partici-
pating is bettered. Teamwork and
discipline are taught. The rudi-
ments Of certain trades are learned.
Those who participated in training
camp activities gain in self-reliance,
punctuality and many other factors
working for success n life.
With the prospect that many
young men will be denied this train
ing, Congress should provide more
ample funds for training camps.
The government reaps a handsome
return from the Observation-Disclosures
ingtOn Post.
