ECONOMY IN COOKING

It has been said that French
family could live well upon the food
thrown away by the average Amer1-
can housewife. OF the food set on
the table an equal amount finds Its
way into the garbage can. The
French housewife Is trained to give
daintiness and variety to her dishes
and. 1t the same time. throw away
nothing. She uses the trimmings OF
meat for meat stock and, like skilled
artisan, often produces wonderful re-
suits with small means.
The actual amount OF food wasted
each year in the United States Is esti-
mated to be well over seven hundred
million dollars, and, unfortunately,
this waste occurs In the homes OF the
Door as we'll as In the mansions OF
the rich. The principal extravagance
occurs from serving q greater variety
of food than Is necessary, In discard
ilg nourishing parts. and In combining
foods in such incompatible mixtures
that much OF the value Is lost.
A meal does not have to be COM
plicated to be appetizing or whole
some. The most healthful meals are
usually the most simple. Sumptuous
dinners not only cost more In time re-
Quired for preparation but In energy
required to recover from the effects
of overeating. BY following well bal
anced menus. one not only saves the
extra cost of food but avoids doctor
bills and losses of salary on account
of sickness.
There Is no need to serve q six
course dinner. Two or three courses
of plain wholesome food are all that
should ever be eaten at meal, and
it will be found that the healthiest,
strongest people invariably use only
few foods at one time. It Is better
to eat a large quantity of two or three
plain foods than to eat small quailti-
ties Of a great variety of dishes. There
should be variety in the diet. but not
all in one meal. It is possible to pre-
pare any one food In q variety OF
ways which lends interest to the diet
and avoids monotony.
No wholesome food should ever be
| thrown away. It is possible to pre-
pare appetizing dishes from left-overs
In the form Of stews, hashes and
soups. A dish Of this type is not only
an economy, but may be the most de.
licious part of q meal. A good cook
must be ingenius. It is possible fol
her to make a very appetizing meal
out of q few scraps Of meat. some
left lover vegetables and perhaps q
few potatoes or bread crumbs. Some
Of the most delightful dishes are pre-.
pared from the simplest ingredients

ONE OF THE MYSTERIES
Nv ALICE HUDSON PEALE

Some day late in April We surely
must go with The children to the
nearest pond to look for frogs eggs.
They will be found lying in masses Of
clear colorless jelly on the bottom OF
the pond.
We can scoop them up with a net
or, If need be, with our hands, and
carry them home along with water
from the pond in big preserve jars.
Watching the eggs day by day the
children will be fascinated by the
changes taking place before their
eyes. The myriad inert black specks
gradually become endowed with life,
and emerge full fledged tadpoles at
last.
Thus to observe in jar upon the
window sill the development Of life is
to be present at one of the major
mysteries of existence. Children will
react to 1t differently according to
their temperaments. To one It viii be
an interesting phenomenon, worth
while in itself. but productive OF no
further thought. To another 1t will
be the starting point of observation
and inquiry concerning mysteries
even more wonderful and complex.
The child in whom is awakened
this deeper interest should be helped
to develop it. With him we may un-
dertake to make tadpole aquarium
the necessary directions to be found
in various books of nature study.
From the tadpole aquarium his in
terest may turn to other phases OF
animal life, and always we may lend
him the support of sympathetic ear
and of patience with all the mess and
clutter incident to his scientific pur-
suits.
| But whether to our child the frogs
eggs become the gate way to wonder
or just plain pollywogs. we must not
neglect to teach the respect due to all
living things. Unless we intend to
raise the new Matched tadpoles they
| must be taken back to their native
pond, there to fulfill their destiny as
! plump and handsome frogs.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

My teeth do not bother me in any
way. In fact, they appear to be per-
fectly sound. From the X-ray I am
enclosing. what would you adviser"
Answer: have examined the *
ray pictures you sent, and find indi-
cations Of either pyorrhea or trench
mouth and this Is probably the rea-
son your dentist advised the removal
OF your teeth. The toxins responsible
Tor rheumatism usually cause q lack
Of resistance to the tooth infections
and for this reason I believe It would
be well for you to follow the fasting
and dieting regime, then consult q
dentist who is willing to treat the in
lection locally. It is likely that the
teeth need not be pulled. Judging
from your X-ray photographs, there
is possibly one dead tooth. and II it
is actually dead it should be removed.
Question: Mrs. N. r. writes: Am
greatly pleased with the results from
using your diet for acne. The hard
Jumps have almost entirely disap-
peared. and the face is clearer and
smooth now. However, purplish marks
or scars from the Jumps remain. Will
they gradually disappear. or is there
any treatment I could use for them?"
Answer: I am pleased to know
that you have obtained such good re-
suits In overcoming your trouble with
acne. The purplish marks are liable
to remain for some time-until the
congestion has entirely cleared up. A
treatment with hot and cold wet ap-
plicattons should be of assistance, and
II this does not entirely overcome the
trouble, these spots should be treated
with the ultraviolet or actfnic lipht.

WHY SO "FOOLISH?"
The president OF the University OF
Missouri is all stirred up by a ques-
tionnaire sent out by the univerSity'S
sociological department. This ques-
tionnaire seemed to be for the simple
purpose Of finding out what UNDER
graduates thought about such things
as infidelity, promiscuity, birth con-
troll, petting and various sex ques-
tons. The president calls the qucs-
tionnairc an outrage and will take
steps with the State General AS
sembly.
Somehow his characterization OF
the sociological attempt as fool busi-
ness" sounds as If the shoe were on
the other foot. After all, is it alto
gether illogical to assume that youths
opinions on traditional matters might
have some value?
