Always grease muffln and cake

When stitching fine materials
like muslin or crepe de chine on
a sewing machine, a seam is often
spoiled by being puckered. This
may be averted by placing a piece
OF paper under the seam. When
1t is finished, the paper can easily
be torn away from the stitching.

Lecturers coming to this

turn for our hospitality the
brickbat that American women
have harsh, uncultivated voices.

A strong statement that, and

DIET AND HEALTH
BY DR.. Logan CIeNdening-

The basic articles for the
younger children are also the
staples for the child from s to
Z. Milk, cereals, eggs, green
vegetables and fruits should
predominate in the diet. Sweets
and pastries and all starchy and
vitaminlesS foods should be
kept in the background.
Meat may be added grad
ually and slowly to the diet.
Meat Is rather like sugar IN
that it spoilS the appetite for
other and more valuable foods.
Nor "a It as complete or eco
nomic q food as the other
things. Bread and milk con-
tain more easily available cal-
ciun as well as other salts and
vitaminS. But some meat
should be added to the growing
child'S diet. AS we grow older
up to so, meat becomes more
and more q desirable element Of
the diet.
With schooling started and
a regular schedule Of work each
working day, the dietary win
have to conform to these neceS-
stiles.
The time schedule is now the
same as for the adultS-three
meals q day. The general plan
Of the dietary may be the same.
allowing the child to partake Of
what its elders eat. Milk, how
ever, should still be q staple
part Of the child's diet. The
period Of infancy when the di-
geStive tract was easily upset
is over. Growth processes have
been established and dietary er-
rorS are not so rapidly or Ger
tainly followed by retribution.
A child started well in bone
formation, blood formation and
growth Is half there. But this
does not mean that dietary
rules can be broken with i'm
punity. Wholesome food. well
balanced as to StarcheS, fats
and proteinS, with fresh vege-
tables and fruits, Is still eS-
sential to health.

For instance-you can take
the biggest, most important

if it's uncomfortable-or off in

much use to anybody.
But put a comfortable cuSh-

table with q reading lamp at
one end-and it's useful. But
notice this-it's the little thing
that's made 1t so.
Smoking Stands Useful
Smoking stands are one Of
these little things almost any
home can use. They're no
longer a present just for Dad.
They may be q present and q
convenience for the whole fam

much about. But what a i, lot

Almost double the rooms size.

We've had one interesting
mirror shown Ia "courting
mirror" it's called, for some
obscure reason that dates back
to Colonial days. It isn't very
big, but it Is very decorative.
But almost any kind Of
mirror will do. A wide one, or
q round one, looks fine over q
mantel. A tall, narrow one
goes well between two windows.
A pair of them-oppoSite each
other-make interesting reflec-
tions Of reflections.
Sewing Tables
How about q sewing table?
One with drawers for needles
and thread and thimbles and
SnapperS. And cubby holes for
unfinished mending or darning.
Lots Of people like the one
we've pictured-the Martha
