Rheumatic Twinges
 o. K. as Forecasters

FRANKFORT : ON MAIN, Ger many, Dec. 4. Prof. Friedrich Dessauer, local savant, has found out why grandma's rheumatic toe is such good weather prophet.
 Storms approach when air pres sure falls and the professor says that lessened pressure is accompa- nied by passage of positive cleo tricity from the earth into the att mosphere.
 He says that this positive cleo tricity in the air we breathe causes limb tremors, pains, vertigo and sometimes sharp headaches. A rheumatic joint is prone to record such conditions ahead of more healthful parts of the body.

Choice of Meats
 The popular piece de resistance generally is turkey. However, the markets are filled with ducks, geese rabbits, lamb and pig. The selection sof this item is the key to the menu Other dishes and side dishes must harmonize. From appetizer to des- sert they must lead up to and away from the main cours..
 With turkey as the main dish the heavier vegetables and access sories are permissible. The appe- tiger may be substantial and the soup thick. The vegetables may be heavy and dressy and the salad and dessert rich. This follows also with chicken or any of the fowls.
 When the piece de resistance is pork-and there is nothing more attractive or delicious than very young and tender pig, nicely Drowned, filled with dressing and surrounded with bright red baked apples the accompanying dishes must be light. The dinner should begin with very light appetizer possibly leafy salad-folloWed by d thin or frozen soup. The vegetables should be of the leafy variety, with the possible exception of a potato dish The salad can be omitted, thus giving the dessert the right to be rich and heavy.
 Ah-Now the Pastry
 The extras and siGe di3hes are the foods that contribute most of the holiday touch, and are the ones that demand the most time n preparation. Fruit cakes and pump kin or mince pies are difficult, but Christmas isn't Christmas without them. And a fruit cake, to be really good, should be cooked weeks before time for eating. It should be stored with wine soaked

HealthfuI and Simple
Snacks Children Like
for Noon Meals

NTHAT to give Jimmie or Mary
" for lunch is one of the prob
lens puzzling many mothers of
school children this winter. The
school childs lunch is usually a
hectic meal whether it is eaten at
home or at school. In either case,
it is often quick snack, an eat
and-run meal. They are too busy,
or too excited to bother much about
food.
The problem concerns more than
giving them the food they like, in
the variety they want; it also in
wolves giving them what their
active young bodies need
Sandwiches, the most popular
items in the lunch box taken to
school, are best for the child when
made with cereal breads, rich in
vitamins and minerals,
Vegetables, such as baked beans
tn a small glass jar) and celery,
or celery stuffed with soft cheese,
may be packed in the lunch. If the
child carries a thermos bottle, a
hot cereal beverage, made with
milk, win provide needed nourish-
ment.
Desserts in the school lunch box
may be fresh, canned, or stewed
dried fruits. Nourishing coconut
cream tapioca, gelatin desserts,
wholesome plain cake, ginger
bread, little sponge cakes, cookies
and other healthful sweets will be
enjoyed at recess time.
Sandwich Filings popular with
children, and at the same time con-
tanning needed health-giving ele-
ments, are:
Cottage cheese, chopped olive and
mayOnnaise.
Cottage cheese and jelly or jam.

"Soup's On" And
Never Mind the Noise

Emulate Hllda, the grim-vis-
aged cook of Andy Gump's fluster-
er household, and cry soups on
if you would have your cold wea-
Their meals satisfying and full of
warmth. For soups a dish that
gracefully combines the vitamins
and the calories in a medley of
flavors that are SO healthfully
pleasant you will not mind the
sibilance that sometimes accom-
panies its consumption.
The truly successful soup is not
the article some wit has defined as
''just like hash, only looser.' The
vegetables that go into it should
be so cooked as to retain their own
distinctive flavors, by first frying
them in bland corn oil, which will
avoid giving them any fatty" tas-
tie. The texture of this cookie
warming dish should be smooth as
velvet, neither too thick nor too
thin, and this makes the choice of
the thickening agent an important
one.
Note in the recipes here how the
vegetables are first prepared and
how they are thickened. Follow
the directions and then let a note
of pride creep nto your voice when
you cry to the hungry brood
