ed into eight sections. the spaces

shades Of green and gold, touched
with pink checked grapefruit.

palms, the whole will slowly revolve
before the thousands who will see

hibit and IL will be shown in

Hot School Lunches

s Z 4
Many enterprising rural teach

children have one hot dish at noon
to warm up the rest of their school
lunch and keep them healthy and
happy. Two plans are in opera
ton; one is the making of stew
which is served to all pupils. The

older girls, who get from it train
ing in domestic science.
The other plan is to have each

apples or apple sauce are the
recognized thing to accompany
bacon, sausage, fresh pork OF
roast duck. Everyone knows how
delicious they are in fritters,
dumplings, Brown Betty, tarts,
pies turnovers, cobblers, apple
tapioca, apple butter, apple jelly,
spiced and in mincemeat.
We could utilize them in a
hundred other ways if we would
use our imaginations. They may
be combined with many vegetables
in escalloped dishes, as with cab
bage, carrots and sweet potatoes.
Or they may be fried with them,
and there is almost no salad to
which chopped apple is not a
helpful addition.
Another beauty of the apple is
as preventative of doctor bills,
for it is well known adage that
Fan apple a day keeps the doctor

Household Hints

The ring around stain, when
you try to clean it, is usually be-
cause you have rubbed round and
round and worked the dirt out
ward and when it is dry there is
a watermark around the cleaned
spot. To avoid this, start on the
outer circle and rub inward, dab
bling up the moisture when you
get to the center.
A long-handled dustpan saves
much STOPPING. The edge of the
dustpan should be firm and even
and lie close to the floor, that the
dust may not be swept under it.
The dustcloth should be soft and
not shed lint. It holds the dust
better if oiled. This may be done
by putting a few drops of kero-
sene or light lubricating oil in one
corner, rolling up the cloth, and
letting it stand until the oil has
spread evenly.
Use paper to wipe greasy sur
faces.

Apples

Apples are prehistoric food
and the first fruit mentioned in
the Bible, their lure being famil-
lar to Eve. The fruit of that day
could not compare with the lus-
cious development Of our times.
An apple tree is peculiar in that
it is in it's prime at forty years
of age and will bear fruit for a
hundred years.
Apples are available almost the
whole year through. They keep
well in the raw state, if stored in
cool, moist place; free from
strong odors, since they absorb
these.
This fruit is valuable as sup
ply of vitamins, minerals and
roughage, and because of its
abundance and usual low cost. The
favorite eating apple is sweet and
juicy, while cooking apples are
more solid and tart.
There is almost no end to the
ways apples may be used, as a
part of the menu of every meal
and raw between meals. Baked

~ and bake them in slow oven
until tender yet firm and unbroken.
At this point remove the cover and
fill the cavity of each apple with
one teaspoon of sugar; sprinkle
the pared portion with sugar, and
place the pan at the top of very
hot oven for few minutes until
the sugar melts and coats the APP
pies a delicate golden brown.
When cool, serve with plain or
whipped cream or a meringue
slightly Drowned in the oven. Gin
namon, nuts or raisins may fill
the cavity in the apples and fur
nish variety and interest. Peeled
and quartered apples may be bak-
ed much the same, with butter
added, if they are not well flavor
ed.

Keep Glands Healthy

cage is not a matter of chron-

the educational secretary of the
American Association of Univers-
ity women. 1t depends not upon
your birthdays, but upon your
glands"
Birthdays we cannot detain,
when they once get the habit; but
we can keep the glands healthy
by eating lots of fruit and vege-
tables, cutting down on sugars,
starches and fats, breathing plenty
of fresh air and drinking an
abundance of water. Thus we can
postpone age.
