BY SALLY MONROE.

Refined foods, like refined people.
are not always so wholesome or so
agreeable as those of the coarser. less
denatured sort. We could get along
quite well without some members of
both groups. Yet refinement in both
food and people is necessary to
civilization.
The art critic, whose tastes have been
so highly cultivated that they seem to
most of us to be entirely artificial, and
who is so highly cultivated himself that
we find him somewhat tiresome and
pedantic, serves purpose in raising
the general trend of art and design.
So also white flour, highly milled
cereals, white sugar and pasteuriZed
milk have all been of definite value,
although at present we know that
whole wheat -four, whole grain cereals,
brown sugar and raw milk contain
nutrients and vitamins that the more
refined products do not.
In our present enthusiasm over the
more natural sorts of foods-based on
the new knowledge of nutrition-we
are inclined to feel that the taste for
white flour, white rice, highly milled
cereals, ETC., has been entirely I'M
reasonable, and that 1t Is only be-
cause of the stubbornness and pig
medicines of food manufacturers that
these products are not at once re-
placed for the cruder. more natural
sorts.
The truth of the matter is, of
course, that the chief motive for re-
filming certain foods has been to make
them keep better, Under ordinary
conditions of transportation and storage
whole grain cereals and flours spoil
much more readily than those that
have been more highly milled. The
original idea in removing the outer
brown coating of rice was to make 1t
keep better. Brown sugar has certain
advantages over white sugar, but every
housewife who has gone back to the
habit of using it knows that 1t has an
annoying trick of getting hard and
lumpy.
Granulated white sugar is much less
easily affected by changes of tempera-
ture and humidity. And no one who
knows the facts can deny the tremen-
by pasteurization of milk. The lives
of thousands of babies have been
spared since pasteurization of ordinary
milk has become customary in this
country.
At the same time doctors often pre-
scribe raw milk for babies and children
and we all know, or ought to know,
that certain vitamins are more album
dant in raw milk than in the pasteuriz-
ed sort. But we also know, or ought
to know, that bacteria that may be
fatal are destroyed by the pasteuriZa-
ton.
When doctors specify raw milk for
children or babies they also specify
that it should be certified. And GER
tilted milk is so much more expensive
than uncertified milk that 1t is almost
out of the question for poor people.
In the case of milk, doctors have
unraveled the tangle in way that

Barley Water.

The old-fashioned regard for barley
water as warm weather beverage was
well founded. Properly made barley
water really is refreshing and one of
the best warm weather "pick- ups
for old and young. Interestingly enough
the taste for barley, water grows upon
one-as if the system discovered on bet
ter acquaintance that it really was help
full and consequently sent out word
through the taste nerves of the tongue
that more would be welcome.
To make barley water you will need
pearl barley. To make a good-sized
pitcherful of it, wash four ounces of
the barley and put it in the pitcher with
a slice or two of lemon and tablespoon
of sugar. Pour over it quart of ac-
lively boiling water, cover and let stand
until cool. Then stand in the refrigera-
tor until wanted and, If you like, dilute
with cold water before drinking.
Barley water made as indicated may
be used with little lemon juice OF
orange juice. Or you may leave out
the sugar and lemon slices and use the
plain barley water as dilutant for milk
in very warm weather. Some children
who rebel against drinking milk in the
usual way will take it with barley water
Care should be taken, of course, that
the total required amount Of milk Is
drunk during the day.

There is a fine choice Of varieties OF
peppers which may be grown. They are
warm-weather plant, are easy to
grow, and will thrive in almost any
soil. Choose varieties that will mature
in succession, to provide a constant sup
ply through the hot weather.
When turnip plants are three or four
inches high, thin out the extra ones
leaving the others three inches apart
The tops of those thinned out make
good greens. The richer the soil, the
better the turnip, because it must grow
quickly to be tender and sweet. Begin
using turnips whila they are rather
small, so as not to miss the best quality

While lettuce thrives better in cool
weather than in the heat, there are
several varieties which can be secured
that resist heat quite WELL and in this
way you can have a supply OF this
delicious and healthful vegetable all
Summer long, and then on until late
in the Fall.
Sow the seed half an inch deep in
rows one foot apart, and later thin out
until the plants are five or six inches
apart. Lettuce should not be allowed
to grow in crowded row. When thin
ming out, so as to give plenty of space
to the plants that remain the pulled-up
plants may be transplanted. The work
OF thinning should be continued so that
the plants do not touch, let alone crowd,
each other at any time. A final dis
lance of about foot apart for head
lettuce will be found to be about right,
although exceptionally large kinds may
require up to 18 inches.
New Zealand spinach will thrive in
hot weather, and as the tender shoots
are picked for use, the plants increase
In size and continue to produce new
shoots until frost.
Horseradish should be allowed to
grow in a corner of the garden. For
straight, thick roots, the soil should
be deeply prepared. This plant likes
moist soil. Half a dozen plants will
yield constant supply. Plant one
or two clumps of mint roots in another
corner of the garden, and find a place
for some herbs, to use In cooking, such
as a plant of sage of the large-leaved
variety, as well as Summer sayory,
sweet n1arjoram and thyme.

If you do not think you will need all
the berries in a box at the first meal,
hull only part of them. If however,
there are hulled berries left over, be
careful TO cover them well before put
ting them in the refrigerator. An ex-
cellent plan when there are few ber-
ries left over that will become soft be-
fore the next meal is to stew them in
little water and sugar. This makes
a good sauce for pudding or filling
for a cake the next day, and they keep
perfectly after they have been cooked.
Or they may be simply served as stewed
berries for luncheon or supper. or as an
addition to boiled rice or waff1es.

MRS. MACRUDER
HELD INSANE

Miss Blanche Magruder, 76-year.
old spinster, who came into the
limelight with the arrest of eight
negroes on charges of theft of large
amounts of money from her home,
was adjudged of unsound mind by
jury before Justice Wheat today
and a committee was appointed to
take charge Of her estate.
Attorney William B. Wright and
Mrs. r. L. Lamb were appointed
committee to manage the Ma.
gruder estate, the value of which
is yet unknown, although more than
$1,000 in cash has been found on
the property.
A crowded courtroom heard with
avid interest the story unfolded py
witnesses of the boarding of forgot
ten wealth by Miss Magruder.
Miss Magruder lived in squalid
surroundings in her home in the
1900 block Thirty-fifth street for
many years and was finally sent to
the Home for Aged and Infirm at
Blue Plains following q cerebral
stroke.
About two weeks ago 1t was re-
ported to police that negroes had
been seen coming ont of her home
with money said to have been found
concealed in various places. A
casual search by police, following
| the arrest of the negroes, revealed
the hiding places of large amounts
of coins and notes and Mrs. Lamb
and Mrs. Marie S. Clarke, a grand
niece, appealed to the court for the
protection of the estate. They were
represented by Attorney "A. C. Shipe.

day testified that they had examined
