Variations i'm Cheese Sandwiches
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

has the knack. To-day we shall con-
slider cheese as a basis, in which case
cream cheese neuchatel cheese, or
homemade cottage cheese lend them
selves well as they are already moist
spread"
Celery and nuts, put through the food
chopper and mixed with the cheese,
give one variety. Red jelly stirred with
the cheese will supply a delicate pink
color and flavor of apple, ounce, cur
rant, grape, etc. Mint jelly gives a
green tone and an entirely different
taste.
Good sandwiches can be made by
adding to any of the cheeSes chopped
seedless or seeded raisinS, chopped
manachino or candied cherries, finely
ground almonds, walnutS or mixed nuts,
chopped or shredded pineapple and a
little favoring extract such as orange
or pistachio. The amount of each in
gredient does not have to be specific,
but can be varied to suit the eXigencies
of the store closet. OF course. even
proportions are desirable. If peanut
butter is substituted for the chopped
nuts be careful to Use but little, as its
flavor is so permeating that 1t might
uuell everything else and ruin the SUI
tana mixture idea. The color can be
changed to any preferred by using a
vegetable coloring agent, but here again
care must be exercised about quantity,
for a Sultana mixture is delicate in tone,
generally rather pinkiSh.
A little finely chopped ham and celery
added to the cheese gives still another
kind of sandwich. and a hearty one.
Chopped apple and cheese Immediately
suggest a congenial combination OF
flayors. Pineapple and cheese is an
other such mixture. One could continue
to enunerate cheese combinations al
most indefinitely, but just one more
must suffice, namely, macaroni and
cheese. with or without chopped apples
and nuts. Season rather high with salt
and pepper and add a dash of grated
Parnesan cheese.

Everyday Psychology
Mathematical Prodigies.
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

Tycho Brahe G546-1601). the famous
Danish astronomer, was constantly an
noyed by having to refer so often to
his table of square roots. So he took
a halliday off. and memorlzed the 49,
600 figures in his reference book and
cast it aside for good.
Leonhard Euler G707-1783), the great
Swiss mathematician and physicist, be-
came blind in his later years. Thus
he was unable to refer to his table OF
squares, cubes, etc. He went to work
and learned the first six powers of ali
the numbers from to 100.
Zeral Colburn. as mere child, could
mentally calculate the number of min
utes in any period OF time. On one
occasion he was asked to say how many
minutes there were in 48 years. Almost
instantly he replied that there were u.s.
228, 900 minutes. Just to give his ques-
TONERS something to figure on, he added
that there were / ,513, 1923, 900 seconds in
these same 48 years. In five seconds he
mentally calculated the cube root Of
Ala, 1898, 348,677.
A mere lad named Mangiamele once
appeared before the French Academy of
Science to demonstrate his mathemat-
ical proves. In 80 seconds he mental
ly extracted the cube root of 3,796,416.
In three minutes he found in like man
ner the 10th root of 282, ATS ,289.
A not so we'll authenticated story has
it that a certain bank cashier in Chi
cago accurately recalled all the bank
accounts that had been destroyed by
the fire of 1871. His recollections were
found to agree with the hundreds of
accounts which the customers presented
as their claims.
Now what is q mathematical prodigy?
One for whom numbers mean some

that run into four figures mean very lit

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED

Mrs. F.. w. D. writes-'I am very
much interested in your articles and
believe they are just crammed with
good sense and sound reasoning.
II have a little girl 5 years of age.
She is going to kindergarten now, but
not having been with children before,
mostly on account of sickness, she is
having quite time. However, since l
have given her to understand that when
she is in school the teacher takes my
place, and I have not interfered in the
school discipline, she is coming along
fine. Couldn't you give mothers an
idea of this?
II know some children are getting
away with things they wouldn't even
think OF If their parents wouldn't in
terfere and take their parts all the time.
We know teachers have their hands
fun and need help from parents. l
believe personal violence excepted)
that school discipline goes a long way
toward making the child understand
what can be expected later on III life,
when he has to rub against the rest of
the world. I thank you for reading
this"
Answer thank you for your kind
remarks about the department. Being
thought sensible and reasonable fult1llS
my secret ambitions. Your own words
are full of wisdom, for just as mothers
should let their children fight their own
battles, so should they let the teacher
handle her pupils without interference
from the parents. It often happens that
the teacher is unaware of this inter-
ference, for the mother never talks TO
her about points of disagreement, but
instead fills the child's mind with the
arguments the parent would use against
her. Instead of upholding the teacher,
she eggs the child on to resent and rebel
against her treatment. All children DO
not appeal to teachers, and one OF those
children may be your child. 1t is nat
ural for parent to resent biased or
unfair treatment but If she wishes To
right matters she should talk it over
with the teacher without the chlld's
knowledge. It doesn't pay to criticize
the teacher before the child, even if you
feel her Judgment has been bad. 1t IS
quite true that from the moment the
child goes out into the world he takes
the bumps that cold world gives him.
He should learn to take them without
resentment. The wisest and kindest
thing any parent can do for her child
is to encourage him to adjust himself
to unpleasant conditions. Minimize
them, but don't load chips on the child's
shoulder to be carried through life as
an increasing load.
Then If the teacher is unnecessarily
severe, temper your own treatment at
home so that the child gets both kinds.
He'll learn to manage SO that he &C
cepts blame and praise, penalties and
rewards and develops into a stronger
| individual because of them.

We remember Charles James Fox, the
great English statesman, because he
was a friend of America, but in his
day and in his own circle, he was no
less renowned for his wit and eccen-
tricities than for his great abilities.
His greatest eccentricity was complete
disrespect for wealth as thing TO be
kept in ones possession.
That he was drunkard was in no
way remarkable, for every one drank
heavily in his day. The prevailing
habits of the time are indicated by the
anecdote of Lord Sage. At dinner a
new servant asked his lordship If he
had any orders.
None" replied his master, "except
that you are to place two bottles of
sherry by my beside and call me the day
after tomorrow"
At the famous clubs, Whits Brooks
and AlmackS, huge sums were gambled
away and none was SO reckless in his
gaming as Charles Fox.
Fox'S bad luck was proverbial. How
ever, his father paid many of his debts
and his close intimates also were ac-
customed to come to his rescue.
"Ah," said he whimsically, once.
what shall 1 do when I have sold the
estates of all my friends?"
Having gambied over a stretch of %
hours, losing at the rate of $4,000 an
hour, he said: THE greatest pleasure
in life, after winning. is losing"
He then went to the House and de-
livered an eloquent speech in defense Of
the church.
In a certain debate, on a Thursday,
Fox did not acquit himself as brilliantly
as usual. The reason was apparent.
From the previous Tuesday evening I'M

Did losing upset Charles Fox? APP
parently not. One night he left the

him to his rooms to console him, expect

Instead he found him reading "Herodo-
tus!"

quired Fox. II have lost my last shill-
ing"
In a period of stress, Fox told Lord
Carlisle: II have not now. nor have
had for some time, one guinea; but l
am the happier for it,"
We might attribute such an attitude
to a poseur. But Fox did not pose.
Even his enemies admitted he was with
out vanity.

Yet ALL-BRAN Brought

NO Trouble Since

When constipation once gets a
grip on a person, it is almost inn
possible to relieve it, let alone pre-
vent it with drugs and treatments.
But here's a lady who was freed
from her suffering-read her letter.
mine was an extreme case of constipa-
ton and although 1 had tried about every,
thing that was recommended TO me, ! had
almost given up hopes of ever being relieved.

Your system must have roughage
or bulk daily, otherwise constipation
is almost inevitable. Kellogg's ALL

healthful cereal to eat every day.
To use in cooked dishes or serve
with milk or cream. To mix with
