MIX ALKALINE,
ACID FOODS

It seems rather paradoxical,
does it not, to speak of fruit with
as sour a taste as lemons, lines
or grapefruit as alkaline foods
Yet this is precisely what they
are.
Some of us, perhaps, have
heard our grandmothers speak
of making soap in the olden days
by treating grease with lye OBJ
tanned from wood ashes. When
wood is burned the resulting ash
is alkaline. In just the same
way, if lemons, lines Or grape
fruit are burned the ash is also
alkaline.
Alkaline Foods
When we remember that the
process Of digestion in the body
is somewhat akin to the burn
ing of food in the air. it will
be readily understood why these
fruits, while seemingly acid, are
really alkaline foods.
The alkaline foods are milk,
fruits, berries and vegetables
Lima beans are among the best
alkaline foods we have. Under
acid foods are listed meat, eggs,
bread, oatmeal, etc.
Right Diet
It must not be assumed that
acid foods are to be avoided, but
rather that sufficient alkaline
foods be present in the diet to
maintain at all times the favor.
able alkaline reaction Of the
body.
Milk, while Of somewhat less
value as an alkaline food than
some of the vegetables, is al
ways prescribed in an alkaline
diet. And the recipes given all
call for milk as well as the other
alkaline foods,

MEAL
FOR SUNDAY

It Is not necessary for anyone
to spend much time over a hot
range preparing Sunday dinner,
for one can easily arrange their
menus so that part Of the food
is prepared on Saturday and then
reheated the next day in a short
time just before serving.
Weekend parties. too, take on
news interest for the homemaker
if the endless cooking which
company" often means can be
so simplified that she viii have
leisure to enjoy her guests.
AbOlishes Dread
She will also echo heartily to
them her husbands ready invita-
ton to Come down for the
week.end-it'S Just a nice little
run out to our house." with no
dread Of spending at least half
Of Sunday in the hot kitchen.
The one who plans the menus
can select many foods which can
either be prepared in advance or
which need little cooking. You
will find, too. that your guests
will enjoy fresh fruits and quickly
cooked vegetables more in sum-
mer than elaborately prepared
pastries and entrees which form
so great a part of the winter
menu.
Make JelIied Soups
Jellied soups cut in cubes and
piled lightly in SOUP or boulllon
cups and served with crisp
bread stick or buttered crackers
are very preferable to the steam
ing plate of rich soup so enjoyed
in cold weather.
If you have no stock on hand
with which to make these iellied
soups, use bouillon cubes OF beef
or chicken which can be pur-
chased at almost any grocery or
drug store, but do serve them at
tractively. A bit Of minced pars-
ley in the Jelly of a sprig Of
watercress on the plate will DO a
lot.
No meats that can be cooked
on Saturday tc serve for Sunday
dinner are more appetizing than
cold baked ham stuck full Of
spicy cloves or q plump cold chic
ken delicately Drowned and served
with hot grayy-or possibly you
will prefer to serve a veal or
other meat loaf, well seasoned, or
a mold of salmon or tuna fish,
for any one Of them make most
delicious main course.

Greenville, S. C. 0LNS)-Declar-

years the abolishment of night work

Company, vigorously assailed the

II would like to see some step
taken which would help the textile
industry" Morgan said. Zone mis-
take which we people of the South
have made in past years has been the
advertisement of cheap labor. Cheap
labor never helped any industry or
any section. If the textile workers
had more money with which to buy
wearables, the market for cotton
goods would be appreciably inn

perfect in every detail as before. But
a provoking thing happened. The pro-
feSsor slept on. In the morning he
found that he could remember no bet
ter than before the image which he so
eagerly wanted to capture. How could
he manage things so that his conscious
mind would be able to lay firm clutches
on this elusive picture and hold it?
Hoping that his interesting experience
might be repeated, he placed sheet
of paper and q pencil beside his bed
when he retired the next night.
1t was not until the approach OF dawn
that his inner eyes once more made out
the fish. At first its appearance was
confused but finally it was revealed to
him with such distinctneSS that he no
longer had any doubt Of its geological
character.
The most interesting circumstance Of
all was not enacted. Though he slept,
and pencil at his bedside Still half
and in total darkness traced out the
characters he had seen in his sleep.
Later, when he examined his sketch,
he was surprised to see in it features
which he thought 1t impossible that the
fossil itself should reveal. He. fastened
to dress and hurry away to the Jardin
des Plantes. With his drawing to guide
him, he Clipped away the stone and
found, beneath, portions of the fish
which had been hidden.
Being wholly apparent, the fish was
found to correspond to his dream and
his drawing. He was able easily to
classify 1t.

Windows Should BE Frames
Not Pictures.
BY ELORENCE LA eANKE.

In Doris new home the curtaining
problem was a real one. For instance,
in the dining room there was group
of three regulation size windows and in
addition there were two small windows
placed high, one on either side of the
buffet.
At the long windows there were glass
curtains of fine marquisette with glazed
chintz overdraperies. That much was
simple, but what should be done with
the small, high windows?
Their proportions were such that
they could not be treated in any way
which would make them look shorter
and wider. That eliminated valances.
They were not large enough, nor i'm
portant enough to be emphasized, so
overdraperieS were eliminated That
left only the marquisette curtains.
These were made with plain head
ing and slipped on the rod. But the
overdrapery required a French heading
at the top. 1t was made like this: A
special soft canvas made for this pur-
pose was purchased and used for stiff
ening 1t was cut four inches deep or
the exact width of the heading. This
canvas was covered by folding drapery
material over it. Now the curtain was
pleated, allowing slightly less than half
the width of material to go into pleats.

Voltaire, in dream, Supped with his
friend, M. Touron. The latter composed
words and music of some verses, which
he sang. The rhymes and the melody
were quite clear to Voltaire But they
existed only in his dream. He had not
dined with M. Touron.
In another dream says the great
French poet and dramatist, Il recited
the first canto of my 'Henriade,' but
differently from the tax.
Yesterday, 1 dreamed that verses
were recited at supper. Some one re-
marked that they were too clever
replied, Verses are a fete given to the
soul, and ornaments are required fol
fetes.' Thus 1 have in my dreams said
things that I would hardly have said
when awake; L have had reflections in
spite of myself, in which had no part
l had neither will nor freedom, and yet
combined ideas with sagacity, and
even with some genius. What am I, il
not a machine?"
The tireless activity of the human
mind. even when We are soundly asleep
is perhaps even better illustrated in the
case of the late Prof. Agassiz, the Swiss
American naturalist.
While still at Neufchatel, he had been
trying to decipher the impression of q
fossil fish on the stone slab in which
it was vaguely preserved. For two weeks
this labor went on, until finally, having
got nowhere with his task, he decided
to put 1t aside. He was weary of it and
thought If he could eject 1t from his
mind for a time he would be better off
He scarcely had come to this con-
clusion when he awaked one night from
dream in which he thought he had
seen his fist with all the parts Of 1t per-
fectly placed.
cat last" he told Mrs. Agassiz, 81
have solved the problem OF the fossil
fish"
When he tried. however, to fix the
dream image in his mind he found, to
his great disappointment, that 1t con-
stantly eluded him.
AS early as possible he hurried of to
the Jardin des Plantes, where he was
connected, hoping that when he looked
at the stone impression he might re-
cover the vision of his sleep. Unfor-
tunately, there was nothing in the in
distinct record that would link together
his waking and his sleeping thoughts
When night arrived, Prof. Agassiz
went to bed with considerable apprehen-
sion. Would he see the fish again in
his sleep?
He finally slumbered. Surely enough
the fish again put in its appearance, a.
