ESSENTIAL IN
REDUCING DIETS
Kellogg's ALL-BRAN Is Ideal
Roughage

II you are following a reducing
diet, it is doubly important that you
AXE a regular amount Of r~oughage

Food Problems
NJ SALLY MONROE.
Sandwiches.

Sandwiches have always been more
or less popular, but at the present time
they are decidedly in the more" class.
The rapid growth Of sandwich shops
and tea rooms, catering to the serving
of afternoon tea and sandwiches, Is
sure indication that the majority OF
people are greatly in favor Of this type
of food. Sandwich meals at home could
be used more and would tighten the
work Of meal planning and serving for
the busy houSekeeper. The children
would not object to sandwich luncheons
occasionally. Sunday night suppers or
Saturday night dinners could certainly
be attractively planned around q sub
stantial sandwich as the main course.
Then in the matter Of entertaining,
well made, dainty sandwiches are al
ways relished. Unfortunately there are
a great many people who do not under
stand the rudiments Of sandwich max
ing. There are, generally speaking,
three types Of sandwiches-the sweet,
the savory and the hearty ones. Sweet
sandwiches are best served for afternoon
teas or receptions where women are the
chief attendants. The more hearty
and savory type of sandwich makes a
more definite appeal to the men. Some
of these could be served at evening af-
fairs, picnic luncheons, Sunday night
supperS, etc.
Bread for sandwiches should be at
least q day old in order TO slice evenly
Remove the cruStS and cut the bread
in thin slices with O. sharp knife. 1t
is usually easier to cut the crusts from
a whole loaf of bread before slicing It,
Whole wheat, white or brown bread
as we'll as nut bread and the popular
cheese bread should all be used to give
variety in sandwiches.

The homemaker who wants a hand
BONE lace dinner or luncheon cloth or
bedspread can make one herself at
small cost and in a short time. The ar
ticle will be exquisite If carefully eXecut-
ed. The ornamentation is of delicate
applique.
The materials required are fine hand
kerchief linen and a high grade of
net. The latter may be hexagonal, oc-
tagonal or square (fileD mesh. The
weave should be fine, not coarse as in
much of the filet embroidered lace. The
quantity needed will vary according to
the size of the table and whether the
cover is a luncheon or dinner cloth or
the spread is for a double or single
bedStead. The amount of applique will
also gauge the qauntity of linen needed.
The more delicate the appliQued mo-
tits are the more beautiful the finished
article will be. Some of the pieces of
this sort that are found in shops are
marvellous in their delicacy, picturing
deer with spreading antlerS and trees
with branches and leaves of slender
traceries. Others have holder designs,
and it is wise for the worker to use the
latter style at first.

course, Mrs. Meadow Lark did most ofI
the building. There was one thing sheI
insisted on and this was that never
should Carol fly directly to the nest
She never did herself This was so
that If any one should be watching
from distance he would not be able
to locate the nest. So always Carroll
and Mrs. Meadow Lark would drop
down in the grass some distance from
where the nest was located and then
walk to it.
When the nest was completed, Mrs.
Meadow Lark formed a dome-shaped
roof of grass over it. That was so that
no enemy flying over and looking down
would see that nest. Then she care
fully made a little covered runway
leading to it. Not until this was COM
pleted was she satisfied. 1t was q won
derfully well hidden nest, and Carol was
very, very proud of it. After the eggs
were laid and Mrs. Meadow Lark was
sitting on them. Carol took the greatest
care never to do anything to give that
secret away. If he caught an insect
that he thought she would like, he
would drop down in the grass quite
distance from the nest and then make
his way through the grass to the nest.
No wonder that Danny Meadow Mouse
had never been able to find that nest
by Watching Carol.

really is no right or wrong side. II
the design is not too fine, this is recon-
mended
If but one side is to have the decora-
tive applique, allow double the width Of
the hem for this portion and enough
more for the design to be cut in one
with the hem. Position on the net so
that the turned-in under portion of this
hem comes a little below the line where
the pattern starts on the right side.
In each instance the stitches holding
the applique in place are run with
very fine cotton or linen thread close
to the edges. If preferred the edges can
be whipped, that is. felled down. If the
design is double the stitches, whether
running or whipping. should go through
both linen portions. The SIltches should
be as nearly invisible as the worker can
make them. 1t is not, like buttonhole
stitch, to form part of the ornamental

Your Baby and Mine
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

What load the parent shifts to the
child when, in considering a bad habit,
| she says to him, You take after your
father" Usually the habit he exhibits
is one she wishes he did not possess, and
with this assertion she excuses herself
by blaming it on heredity. Instead, 1t
should be regarded as a temporary fault
or one to be blamed upon the child'S
environment and mismanagement.
1t is discouraging to be told that ones
fault is inherited. The child feels pow
erless to combat a fault handed on to
him from some one else. And 1t Is so
untrue. Children may initiate behavior
they see about them. but nearly all
children at some time act in reprehenSi-
BILE ways. Misbehavior is part of their
growth, an evidence Of their eternal hui
manness, and not a burden passed on by
a misbshaving ancestor.
In her fear of lying. Mrs. A. N. fails
to realize that every child at some pc
Rod or another experiments with I'M
truthfulness. He lies for numerous rea-
sons, and the way to help the lying Is to
eliminate its cause.
Mrs. A. N. thinks her child lies to
escape punishment. So she Furnishes
him in every imaginable way to end
his fault. That seems very Illogical,
doesn't it? If the child found his
mother reasonable, understanding and

Shake yourself and get normal per-

influence in the child's life, so he won't
lie through imitation. All children. and
especially such wee ones, have too little
knowledge or experience to make abso-

The next morning, as was his daily

Brown. To which his friend replied:
"A thick-set man, in flannel shirt and
rough trousers. His hair was uncombed

his dream had been thus duplicated by
his friend, and the awe of the friend on
hearing Browns story. But there was

he snugly watched it from his pillow,
he heard the clock strike II. Then he
drowsed away.
Almost Immediately he had a dream
experience as vivid as reality. 1t seemed
that confused noises arose about him
and a strong hand grasped his throat,
choking him.
He did not awaken, but he dreamed
that he awoke and found himself pros
trate in a narrow street, his back
against rough cobblestones, while he
struggled in the grip of thick-set man,
low-browed, with tangled hair and a
grizzled beard. With one hand this
man held both his wrists, while with
the other he sought to Strangle his VIC

In his dream Brown twisted in in
describable horror. With the despera-

he made tremendous effort and half
threw his assailant from him. They
rolled over and over in the street. But
Brown felt his strength leaving him.

SUMMERTIME


One of the first of the Summer fiow-
ers to bloom is one Of the last flowers
to appear with that fresh, enchanting
charm of Spring flowers. The rhodo-
dendron is really a Spring flower in
the South. which explains its April-like
beauty. Here. on the border between
North and South. 1t has to wait for
June weather It will continue to
bloom into July.
To find it, as a native plant, in this
region, you must have stout legs and a
sharp eye, and go exploring the rocky
ravines of the upper Potomac valley,
where the beech trees now spread its
delectable pale green, but cool shade,
and the hemlock overhangs the rushing
stream. There, in damp, cool places,
very rarely this beautiful little tree
catches the filtered sunlight on its ever
green and shining leaves, and the great
balls of flowers. pure white or pink or
roseate. burst their scalv buds.
The flower of rhcdodendron Is bit
enchanting perfection, with just that
suggestion of the unsymmetrical which
gives charm. One petal is bit longer
and spotted with tiny points OF green.
Though one grows thoroughly accus-
toned to the rhododendron in the
Southern mountains. its presence in our
fora Is always a bit mysterious and
romantic to me. Here 1t has the charm
of great rarity. But in the Southern
mountains a rhododendron thicket Is
formidable jungle, and 1t may cover
many miles in extent.
While trying to crash through a
rhododendron thicket of two miles in
extent on Mount Mitchell. I lost three
hours. two gold cuff links, a gold foun-
tain pen, gold watch, several linear
feet of cuticle, a compass, and my tenn
per for the rest of the day. That year
1 saw posters up. advertising for lost
hunter, who had not been seen for
many months since entering a wild part
of the North Carolina mountains, in
the rhododendron thicketS.
A mountain preacher. who was long
legged giant and great walker, told me
that once he had been challenged by
an old mountaineer and inverterate ex-
plorer, to tackle the rhododendron
country around Bryson City, In order
to see who could outtire the other. My
friend accepted the challeneg reluc-
family, and, when 20 miles from any
help, the old man suddenly began to
fail; it was obvious he was going to die.
The young preacher had to carry him
every inch of that 20 miles. When he
got to help, he held q Silver-haired

OUR CHILDREN
BY ANGELO PATRI.

Character Is q matter of training.
It requires self restraint, self discipline
self sacrifice. 1t inferS a sense of duty.
Duty Is an old-fashioned word that win
have to be taken out of the dictionary
and we'll busted for the use of the COM
ing generation. When the original idea
stands out once more 1t will be dis
covered to be that fine sense Of propor-
ton that makes character. Duty first
then all other things are added and
character is set
What Is there in the country child's
life that makes for character as against
that Of the city child? I think it is
the garden and all that belongs to it.
The city child has no such chance.
You see when you think about plant
ing something you first must prepare
the ground. A few experiences teach
you the utter futility of setting seed
in barren soil. First you dig deep,
then you fine your soil, and you feed
your soil in accordance with the crop
you wish to raise. Then you SOW your
seed, being careful how you do so, and
then you tend the planting to the
harvest time.
If you don't feel just like watering
the beds when they need 1t, II you have
something pleasanter to do when weed
ing time comes, If you neglect the thin
ming and the transplanting, you lose
your labor. And if you lose your labor
your conscience and your self respect
ache and you feel very unhappy. The
neighbors are not pleased with your
lack of achievement. No kind words
come your way.
But If you struggle through, IL YOU
dig and delve and SOW and water and
weed and thin and transplant and bring
to harvest your crop-what well done
Job is yours. Immediately your whole
being mounts a step higher. You feel
like a person. You're somebody, who
has wrestled with life and mastered 1t
for once.
That Is a great feeling for q child to
have. Few city children get that chance.
All they can do is their school lessons
and many a time they have scant
chance at them because so many people
want to do them in their stead. The
country is the place for children. Give
them a good school and good garden
and a chance at both and they will
outstrip the city child.
Personal, flrst-hand experiences with
things, and with nature, are elements
| of character growth we must secure for
our childen. So far the country child
has the better opportunity.
