 In statement expressing confi- dence in the continuance of good business. Edsel Ford, President, an- nounced the company would spend S20,000000 for new buildings in the next twelve months and $10,- 100000 for new plant equipment on the Pacific and Atlantic coasts.

Snring Illnesses.

With the coming of Spring there
seems to be q rush of illnesses. Measles
and whooping cough and what not
strike fear to our hearts. The children
take colds easily.
Winter shut the children in for the
greater part of the day. The short days
deprived them of sunshine. That is q
great hardship. Winter in our region
is not kind to children in this respect
This means that many of them come
to Spring with weakened resistance.
As soon as the sunny days come put
the children out into the sunshine.
Dress them according to the weather
and their physical health rather than
according to the calendar. There is
no sense in having child uncomfort-
ably perspiring under blankets when
the sun is warming him through and
through. Let the sun do the work and
tighten the blanketing.
Watch the child's diet. Here it would
be a good idea to consult the physician
who knows the child'S characteristics.
What is good for one little child may
be altogether unnecessary for another
Don't do as the next-door neighbor
does lest you do wrong. Ask the doctor
who knows your child and adjust his
diet. His weight and the color of-hiS
skin will guide you. A child whose sys-
tenn is in good shape to resist disease
will not be its first victim.
After safeguarding the child, after
giving him prevention care and treat

FOOD PROBLEMS
Concentrated Flavor.
BY SALLY MONROE.

No kitchen shelf is complete without
some sort of prepared concentrated
flavoring for enriching meats, gravies,
soups and sauces. There are several of
these to be had. Your grocer will be
able to supply you with one sort, no
doubt.
Sometimes this davoring extract
comes in a bottle in liquid form and
sometimes in little Jar in paste form.
Besides being a combination of rich
vegetable fiavors, it imparts a rich color
to the sauce or soup TO which it is
added. You thus get the same effect
that you would by using caramel coll
oring with considerably less trouble
than having to make the caramel
yourself.
One advantage Of this concentrated
extract is in making use of soup meat.
Make your soup stock in the usual man.
ner, putting the soup bone and meat in
cold water and Simmering gently. Pour
off your stock, and the meat that re-
mains, though undoubtedly tasteless.
may be used to make croquettes or
other leftover meat dishes. BY adding
a little of the f1avoring extract the loss
of flavor in the meat is not apparent.
Then, too, If your meat stock Is a
little thin, add some of the extract and
it takes on richer color and richer
favor.
If you are having large roast that
you wish to use two days, you will wish
to have little gravy. If you add about
a half teaSpoonful Of the extract to the
Drowned drippings in the roasting pan,
you can add more water and make more
gravy.
Many fish dishes are greatly improved
by using some such flavoring.

HISTORIC FEASTS AND MEALS
Charles H. Fried His Own Mutton While Fugitive.
J.. r. GLASS
By ). p. GLASS.

Charles II, the Merry Monarch Of
England. when dining in state was
ALWAYS served by noblemen who knelt
as they proffered dish to him. This
token of respect was not common al
other courts. and one day Charles called
the attention of the Count de Gram
mont to it.
at thank your majesty for the ex-
planation,' said the witty exile from
France. IT thought they were begging
pardon for giving you so bad dinner.
The coronation dinner of Charles in
1860 at Westminster Hall was historic
event. That great gossip, Samuel
Pepys, was present and has pleasantly
described the scene:
Into Westminster Hall got, where
it was very fine with hangings and
scaffolds one upon another, full OF
brave ladies. Here / stayed walk
ing up and down. and at last upon
one of the side stalls stood and saw
the king come in with his crown on
and his sceptre in his hand, under
canopy.
MANY fine ceremonies there were.
But above all, was the coming of the
lords. northumberland, and Suffolk,
and the Duke of Ormond, before the
courses, on horseback, and at last
bringing up the kings champion, all in
armour on horseback, with MS spear
and target carried before him. And a
herald proclaims that if any dare deny
Charles to be lawful King of England,
here was a champion that would tight
with him: And with these words the
champion filings down his gauntlet, and
all this he does three times in his going
up to the Kings table. To which, when
he is come, the King drinks to him"
One wonders if Charles, now dining
triumphantly, remembered the days not
long before when he was wanderer In
Boscobel woods while parliamentary
troops sought everywhere for him.
In that troublouS time Charles often
had to prepare his own dinner, and
while he never acquired the skill at
cookery of Louis XVIII he was
dexterous in rough way.
During several days spent in the
forest he had eaten no food save the
cold stuff that humble followers were
able to smuggle to him. Then his
friend, Col. Carlis, took him secretly
to his house.
That night Charles ate the feast of
feasts-and it was prepared by himself.
"Egad, I have a keen appetite" he
told the colonel. IT have a mind. can
it be arranged, to eat some mutton. Can
you kill Sheep"
Carlis privately slaughtered a eve.

aud get it over with. No child should be
exposed to such treatment Every child
should be defended against such III
neSSes.
The younger children are easy victims
to infantile diseases, as the term tnl-
plies, so they must be guarded with ex-
IRENE care. The baby ought not to be
carried in street cars, taken into
crowds, left where many children are
likely to touch him as they pass. The
towels that touch him must be clean.
If the children of the family are at
tending public school, keep the baby
apart from them until they have
washed their hands and faces and
changed their clothes.
It Is easier to prevent whooping cough
than 1t is to cure 1t once 1t begins. 1t
is very difflcult to detect this disease,
as 1t starts with the short, hard cough,
like a bronchial cough. It is impor-
tant, then, that no coughing child ap-
proach the baby. If there is any sign
of infectious or contagious disease in
the neighborhood, guard the baby.
It seems impossible to avoid such III
neSSes for the children, but we can take

The newest discovery in beauty
culture is that cremed magnesia
beauties the skin instantly, in the
same easy way that milk of mag
nesia purifies the stomach. This is
because skin impurities are acid.
Doctors treat acid inside the body
with milk of magnesia. And now.
dermatologistS are getting amazing
results in banishing complexion
faults with cremed magnesia. All
you do is anoint your skin with it,
massage and rinse with water. It's
as simple as washing your face.
1t reduces enlarged pores to the
finest, smoothest texture. Being as
tringent, it drives away the tell-tale
signs of age. 1t rejuvenates the skin
so quickly that any woman can
look lovely tonight, years younger.
And because it is so mild, it GER
tainly is blessing for fine, sensitive
skins that soap SO easily irritates and
coarsens. 1t removes makeup and
extracts impurities deep-set in the
pores better than soap or cold cream.
