My Neighbor Says:

Wash the burners on your gas
stove frequently with Soap-suds
and water. Clogged burners dull
the flame and lessen the heat
obtained from gas.
If the water In which green
vegetables are to be boiled is
hard add a tiny bit Of soda to it.
This will make vegetables tender
and a better color.
Be sure TO leave sufficient
space between the walls of the
refrigerator and the dishes near
them. and between the dishes on
the shelves, to allow a free cir
culation OF air. II is the con-
tinual circulation OF cold air
through an electric refrigerator

food.
To preserve leftover pickles or
pimentoes put them In a glass
tumbler and cover with salad oil.

DIET AND HEALTH
BY LULU HUNT PETERS, M. d.
Vegetarian Diet.

II have friend who, on account Of
religious scruples, never eats meat of
any kind, not even fish or poultry. To
her, they are all dead flesh. What I
want to know Is this: Is 1t possible for
such a person, by substituting milk,
eggs, cheese, nuts, etc, to be strong,
robust and energetic? This particular
young woman is very undernourished,
but still refuses, in horror, to touch any
meat.
IF you think it possible to be a strict
vegetarian and still be robust, will you
suggest what would be a good days
menu for this young woman of IS, who
lives the life of an average home maker
and Is at present quite low in energy
and weight. but refuses to take her doc
tors advice that she eat meat?
MRS. NJ"
Certainly one can get along without
flesh foods and maintain health, Mrs.
NJ, for many do 1t. But more conscious
efforts must be directed toward get
ting sufficient Of the other protein foods.
Nuts with the exception of chestnuts),
cheese, eggs, milk, all furnish a good
proportion of high-grade protein. The
legumeS and the whole grains also fur
are not biologically complete-that is,
they lack some of the elements neces-
sary for growth and repair, SO they
must be supplemented with the COM
plete type.
1t not infrequently happens that those
who haven't studied dietetics and 20 on
a non-flesh diet, take insufficient
protein. The average person should
have depending upon the size of the
France $50 to $50 calories of protein a
day. I'll give you list of foods with
their protein content, and have your
friend guide herself by that. II she Is
undernourished, she should take more
liberal amounts of these foods for a
while, to build up her wasted tissues.

A Sermon for Today
By REV. JOHN r. GUM.
Pigmies and Giants.

Text: LAS he thinketh in heart, so
is he."-Prov. Xxiii.7.
It is recorded of the son Of Louis
XIV that two of the most eminent
scholars of Europe were his teachers,
but they could do little with him. The
chief delight of this boy prince was to
play with and kill weasels. The weaSelS
in the barn interested him more than
those wise teachers in the palace. His
sphere was imperial, but his mind was
pigmy. Therefore, he was pigmy.
And little Louis was never anything
but a pigmy. Even after he became
king his head was not big enough for
the crown he wore. He never was able
to think, except in terms of little things
in terms of weasels. He was no match
for such mighty men as Mirabeau,
Robespierre and Marat. They were
giant thinkers and giant actors, too big
for poor little Louis. If Louis had
been able to think big enough and
theoretically enough, there might have
been a different story to tell about his
reign as king.
The size of a man is determined by
the size of his mind. A pigmy mind
means a pigny man. It takes big minds
and big thinking to produce giant men.
Men become strong only by strong
thinking. You will md all the stall
wart men of the world to be Stalwart
thinkers.
Some men have stronger minds than
Others. But even weak minds can be
developed into greater strength by
thinking. The trouble with most men
is not the lack of mental capacity, but
failure to think up to their full ca
pacity. If you have average intelligence
you need not be a pigmy: by thinking
you can develop yourself into a stable
giant. iys

can be found to take the warning fac
tons" into different rooms, thus sepa-
rating them.
There are many expedients that can
be resorted to in aid Of such Situa-
ton. BY changing the order Of serving
the refreshments, an suspicious change
may be wrought A party which is stiff
because of the wrong combinations OF
groupings may be re-combined thus into
a more congenial gathering.
Any changes in regrouping must be
made with tact. It must not be OBJ
vious that the hostess has manufactured
an excuse to take one person from a
group. To quietly suggest that the
friend can be of service to the hostess
in some task Of entertaining Is one
successful means.
If the guest of honor" is late In
arriving, 1t is not matter to be stressed
by the hostess Her attitude should be
that all of her guests are Of such value
that their presence is sufficient to the
pleasure Of all, and no sign of discom-
future should be made evident. She
may laugh 1t off" with the suggestion
that the main thing was an excuse Tor
them all to foregather.
Guests dislike to be "bossed" but en-
ioy being led. The host or hostess who
has this latter gift will be able to COM
mand any situation in entertaining,
even If the party turns out Inherently
from expectations.

Today in
Washington History
By DONALD A. CRAIG.

January Is, 1S66.-It was learned to-
day that Walt Whitman was dismissed
from a department of the Government
for being the author of poem entitled
Leaves Of Grass" One Of his friends
has written a pamphlet about him en-
titled 1.-THE Good Gray Poet" 1t is
stated in the newspapers today that
Whitman's character as a man Is of
the highest and that, at any rate in
his poems, his intentions are unexcep-
tionable"
The War Department has issued a
general order, published today, that
municipal courts of Virginia embraced
within the area Of that department are
prohibited from instituting any proceed
| ingS against any officer or soldier in the
service of the United States or any en-
ploye of the Government of the same
for acts done by them while in service
or employment in pursuance of their
military duties, or by order of their SUI
perior officers. This applies also to
those who have been at any time in the
United States service or employment
and since discharged.
Citizens loyal to the United States
are in the same manner exempted from
| prosecution I'M the courts of Virginia
during the rebellion against any of the
rebel forces, directly or indirectly" or
the agents charged with the care of
abandoned lands or custody 'of any
kind of property possessed under the
authority of the President of the United
States, or of any civil or military au-
thorities of the Government"
The order continues that all such
persons are absolved from any and all
damages inflicted by said courts in vio-
lation of the provisions of this order
Commandments of posts and provost
judges are directed to prevent any vio-
lation of this order, land to this end
will arrest all offenders under it and
report the facts Immediately to the
headquarters of the War Department in
Washington"
The Senate having asked by resolu-
ton how many men are still in the
military service of the Government, the
War Department, in reply published
today, says that there are yet AZ major
generals and ISL brigadier generals in
| the volunteer service. There are 1924
officers and men now in the Regular
Army, bringing the aggregate in the
service up to a total of 29,919. Com
panies already organized are soliciting
regular recruits and they are coming in
/ at the rate of about 5000 a month.
The highest ranking officer of the

Strengthening Backs.

Any pronounced defect in posture
should be corrected under the personal
supervision of a physician or'a physical
culturist who is trained in giving cor
receive exercises as prescribed by a
doctor. However. minor defects such
as most of us have may be overcome,
in most cases, by the right sort of ex-
erciSeS plus constant practice OF cor
rect posture in our walking and sleep
ing hours.
The most common of these lesser
poStural defects is slight stoop at
the shoulders accompanied by a forward
sag at the neck. Practically every one
who engages in sedentary occupation
exhibits this postural defect, which
comes from the habit of leaning over
ones work. The shoulders become
rounded.
ANY exercise that expands the chest
will help correct round shoulders. Here
is a simple one that requires no APP
paratus. Just stand in doorway with
the palms of your hands facing for
ward and resting against the frame
of the doorway on each side of you at
about shoulder level. Keep your feet
together, with knees straight and head
up; let the body swing forward as far
as possible. III tHLS poSltloH YOU dte
kept from falling forward by the grip
of your hands on the door frame. Keep
chest up. Slowly return to starting
position and repeat 6 to IL times.
Another similar exercise for over
coming round shoulders may be done
with the aid of bed. Stand with your
back against the foot of the bed
Stretch your arms backward and grip
the top of the footboard. Keep heels
together. Let your body swing for
ward, raising heels off the floor and
curving back inward. Recover. Re-
peat four to six times.

HOROSCOPE

According to astrology. tomorrow will
be an uncertain day in planetary d.
rection, but benefic influences are likely
to dominate.
It should be fairly favorable to mer-
chants and manufacturers, who will
find much promise of increased bust
ness, the seers declare.
Lawyers are to occupy more attention
at this time, it is foretold, and sensa-
tional lawsuits may be expected.
Honors to men of legal training will
be numerous, it is forecast, but financial
wizards are to meet with good luck
that brings favors from Europe.
The press is to gain marvelously in
power everywhere in the world, If the
stars are rightly read.
The total eclipse of the sun next May
is looked on as Of serious import, for
Mars will be setting over the eastern
part of the United States.
Countries ruled by Jupiter are to
benefit greatly. Success and prosperity
continue in America. Mexico is to be
much favored.

hold high ideals of acting are to be
produced, it is prophesied.
The vogue of materialism and ex-
ploitation of unpleasant subjects in art
and literature is passing, the seers ex-
plain, for stars that uplift the soul and
appeal to the intellect are to gain
power.
The stars at this time are supposed
to be favorable to the use OF coal, iron
and lead in many lines of manufacture.
Tomorrow is read as day of good
luck for the President of the United
States.
Persons whose birth date it Is may
gain through a secret financial transac-
ton, but there is certain amount of
danger from losses. There should be
care to prevent robbery.
Children born on that day have the
augury of success in life. They are on
the cusp of Capricorn and Aquarius
and should be remarkably gifted. They
are likely to be of fine nature and
noble aspirations, but inclined toward
stubbornness.

Your Baby and Mine.
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Mrs. o. M. writes: Il wish you would
give me some advice on these ques-
tons. My baby boy is three months
old and weighs IA pounds. nurse
him about every three hours and I
give him three ounces OF sugar water,
one teaspoon of food in three ounces
Of water and one teaspoon of orange
juice mixed with three ounces of water.
Is this the right amount of orange
juice? Am I giving 1t the right way?
Shall increase the amount of orange
juice? He is a healthy and happy
boy, only he has diarrhea. He has had
it worse? Is there anything can
give him that will stop IT."
Answer.-In the first place stop the
food and sugar water right away.
Those are the probable causes of the
diarrhea. A nursing baby, one who
weighs IA pounds at three months. Is
in no need of extra food, and If he
| were it wouldn't be the things you are
giving him. Sugar is very laxative
and all carbohydrate foods are, too,
so these are causing the diarrhea,
feel very sure.
The orange Juice is being given all
| spoonfuls up to the Juice of half an
orange by six months If it is given
directly before bottle it will not be
as laxative as If given one hour before
one.
Babies do not need sugar in their
drinking water. Sugar is a food. It
is not fiavoring Water is to quench
a baby's thirst as well as to supply his
fluid needs, and in the case of some
nursing babies getting lot of breast
milk, there isn't a great deal Of water

WINTERTIME

II you will recall your school-child
geography lessons you will recollect that
geography included bit of terrestrial
astronomy and that teacher astonished
you very much when she said that the
earth was round and the South Pole
not hot but cold, when she said that
in Winter the sun is actually a little
nearer to the earth than in Summer.
If it Is nearer how, then, can 1t be
colder in Winter? And If teacher an
SWered YOU correctly, she told you that
it was because owing to the inclination
of the earth's axis, the nights are
longer in the Northern Hemisphere in
Winter and that actually few million
miles nearer to the sun make little
difference, as the light from the sun
travels at a rate that brings 1t here
from our blazing lord in little bet
ter than eight minutes.
To me the study of night In the Win
ter months, when other things do not
distract the attention, becomes an abb
sorbing one, and the LATEST person may
pursue it, for it may be followed In bed.

To be afraid of night is to show that
you are soft, hyper civilized miser-

windy or rainy, but 1t Is never any,

It Is too real for that.
Indeed, If we think Of night In its
true philosophical position, we realize
that 1t is the prevailing. the absolute
thing. Light, day, burning suns and
