FOOD PROBLEMS

Mullins for Breakfast.

Mullins for breakfast are an all
year round delight, but in cold weather
they are especially good.
recipes to make good mullins. = One
good, tested recipe will do, for you
can vary it in the making to get diff
ferent results.
For instance, add a cup Of cereal
to an ordinary muffin recipe, adding
a half cup or quarter cup less of flour.
You can tell how much by the con-
sistency of the batter. Or add raisins
to a muffin batter. Or add a cup Of
whole wheat or corn meal -four instead
of one Of white flour. If you want
to, when you add part whole wheat
-four add also quarter cup of mo-
lasses instead Of the sugar. You can
play many variations on one muffin
recipe in this way and get good results.
1t Is an excellent idea to grease the
muffin pans. and then beat them be-
fore putting in the batter if you want
very light mullins And, if you are
in a hurry, this helps things along.
For you can heat the pans while you
are still mixing the batter, and then
they take less time to heat up and
cook.
Good cold butter is better than soft
butter with hot mullins. The mullins
are so hot they melt the butter and
the contrast between the cold butter
and the hot muffin Is good. Keep the
mullins hot after you send them to
table by covering them with folded
napkin.

Special Baked Beans.

Wash and look over one quart of
dried beans, add two quarts of cold
water and let soak over night. In the
morning cover and place over a low
fire to simmer until tender. When
sufhcisntly cooked, drain, reserving the
liquid. and place the beans in heavy
earthen pot. Take half a pound of
salt pork, scrape the rind, and cut the
pork into pieces or leave whole and
cash through the skin in few places.
Bury in the beans. Mix the following
seasonings, which may be varied to
suit the taste: One and one-half tea
spoonfuls of mustard, one tablespoons
ful OF salt, one-fourth cupfuI of mo-
lasses, two tablespoonful of sugar and
nall a cupful of tomato catSup. Pour
TINS mixture, with one cupfuI of water
or bean stock, over the beans. Enough
water or bean stock should be added

she makes things grow. Still others
get rid of their Spring fever by listen
ing to music. But for those who halse
no garden, and no beau. and no music,
I don't know what there is to do ex-

OF course If you have little bit Of
money, you can buy new hat. If you
followed your inclination in the Spring
you would buy a red hat. Red is gay
and lively. When you look at a red
hat you feel younger and stronger. It
sends the Spring feeling into your veins.
But usually you don't buy the red hat
because you know you win not have
much use for it later on. Alas, you
have to be practical even in the Spring.
If the boss only knew how sweet q

would perhaps stretch a point in your

tired then than they are in the Sum-
mer. After the Winter your physical
energy is at its lowest ebb. And from

that when your Summer vacation comes
you are too tired.
Still, suppose it's better to work
with Spring fever than with Summer
heat.

Everyday Psychology
Intelligence.
By DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

About 80 years ago psychologists
began to investigate the common Sus-
picions about animal intelligence They
were interested in finding out whether
or not animals really possessed intelli-
gence. Results were positive. From
there they went on to the problem OF
kinds and amounts. Results were IL
Illuminating.
Then the psychologists turned their
psychological microscopes on human
beings Results we're Illuminating even
if they were somewhat disconcerting.
Today intelligence tests, of which
there are many sorts, occupy the CEN
trail position among psychological
theories and controversies. But the
outstanding fact is that no one knows
yet just what the first principles of in
telligence is.
I list three abilities which seem to
make first-class candidates for a CEN
trail position among the signs Of in
telfigence.
/. The ability to make choices. Even
the amoeba seems to possess this abil-
ity, at least to some extent. 1t can
distinguish between pleasure and pain.
That's why it is able to live.
2. The ability to profit by past ex-
perience This means doing something
easier because it already has been per-
formed. The amoeba has some of this
ability. But not much. Human beings
differ enormously in this respect.
3. The ability to eliminate errors,
which really means foresight Fore
sight comes rather high on the animal
scale. Perhaps the ape is the first to
show unmistakable signs of possessing

Your Baby and Mine

reaction. A good food, one which later
will not disturb the baby, may give a
violent reaction if fed in large guam
titles. When 1 say large quantities"
mean tablespoonful as contrasted
with teaspoonfuls.
In starting egg yolk one proceeds
even more cautiously. The white of
egg, being pure protein, usually causes
more distress than the egg yolk, but
both of them are capable of causing
rash, fever and vomiting if fed in I'M
wise amounts to baby who has some
senSitivity to this particular food.
The egg yolk Is the more valuable
portion of the egg for young child
because it contains vitamins A, B and
D, and in addition has rich supply of
minerals. Hess advises that only few
drops of the egg yolk be given to baby
at first to note his reaction. If there
is no reaction then give one teaspoonful
of the yoik. raw, added to the whole
milk formula or to one bottle. In the
case of the nursing baby the few drops
of egg yolk may be given mixed in wa
ter and by spoon or 1t may be added
to an ounce of water and given by bot
tie. Later when baby shows that he is
not upset by his new food the egg may
be coddled and one teaspoonful of the
yolk, thsn two and so on until baby
can have the whole yolk of a coddled
egg once daily, or the raw yolk can be
stirred into the formula after this has
been boiled and cooled.
Having learned from experience that
Sc n sal@ &C
nothing to young mothers, here is the
process: Drop fresh egg in the shell
into small, deep vessel of briskly
boiling water. Remove pan from fire,
cover and let stand from five to six
minutes, according to the size of the
egg. This jellies the egg. Separate
white and yolk carefully and feed only
the yolk to a child under / year of
age. After that, the white may be
added little at time if the child
shows no reaction to it. One coddled
| egg three times week is excellent in

If the baby shows the sort of reac-
ton described above when given his
/ initial few drops or teaspoonful of egg
stop feeding him the egg and do not
start again for at least week. Then

n1ula. Keep up the small quantity for
several days, then increase it. If the

ton should result in the child's devel-
op.ng an immunity to it, so that larger
portions will he taken without notice

1t is true that Of all foods eggs do make
some children who have a sensitivity

good Judgment in deciding whether egg

nitely, or whether it is worth while to
try building up an immunity to it by

pieces are used as ties for the wrists.
You may tie each piece in the middle
and sew it into position, or you may
make Sits at the neck and on the
sleeves, run the strips through them
and then tie.
If you have dark blue dress you
may make these ties of plaid or fig
ured silk showing dark blue, red or
other bright colors. If you have
dress of figured material your ties
should be of solid-toned material. II
you like you make them of light beige
or ecru material, making piping OF
the material to tack into the dress
at the neckline and cuffs. This, as
well as the ties, may be taken out and
washed and quickly put back in place
again. Usually the best way to make
the Sits in the dress is by cutting the
material in the desired position and
then binding off the material around
the slit with a narrow piece of bias
material to form fiat tailored but

The present vogue for pewter plays
well into the hands of the homemaker
of average means. The metal is of
ancient lineage dating back to 1074 AID.
It must have been made some years
earlier, for this mention Of the metal Is
in connection with pewter being per-
mitted use instead of gold for vessels
in the church of Rouen. So important
place did this metal hold in England
that pewterer's company was formed
with strict regulations about alloys.
It is with this matter of alloys that
the homemaker should become ac-
quaint:d. Pewter is not a precious
metal. 1t holds much the same relation
to these metals that semi-precious
stones do to precious stones. Pewter
and semi-precious stones are each
valued because of their beauty apart
from their intrinstic worth Neither is
expensive. AS win BE- seen, pewter
should not be confused with silver, al
though modern pewter with its percent
age of antimony IS made to resemble
silver in dull finish.

MILADY BEAUTIFUL

having the dumpy-appearin foot Of
decade or two ago.
Fortunately, too, milady no longer
tries to squeeze her feet into shoes
which are too small. She has learned
that this Is not only detrimental to the
beauty of her feet, but such practice
also puts a strain on the nerves and
muscles of the body which results in
premature facial wrinkles. Most foot
Ills. such as fallen arches, bunions and
Icorns, can be traced to shoes which
have been improperly fitted.
The important point to remember In
selecting shoes is, first of all, that they
must be comfortable. A shoe which Is
too short is perhaps the worst of all.
Select shoe which makes it easy to
walk gracefully with the toes pointed
straight ahead While shoes should fit
the arch snugly, so as to give proper
support, they must allow ample room
Tor the toes to prevent corns and
bunions.
Those who have trouble with their
feet often find that next to being fitted
perfectly the greatest help Is changing
SHOES and hose several times during the
day. This is particularly true Of the
home woman IWho finds it necessary to
be on her feet, large part of the day.
When it comes to ankles there are
those who seem to think that if their
ankles were only slender, beauty would
be assured. But mere thinness does
not insure beauty-a really beautiful
ankle must have sufficient flesh to veil
the angular lines of the joint bones.
Ankles which are too fleshy and
bulky may be improved by simple ex-
ercises and massage. one must be per-
sistent in the treatments TO gain re-

and the left to the left. Slide one foot
out to the side, toe well pointed, bring
it back to the starting position. Repeat
10 times with each foot. Though this
\ may be rather difficult at first, repeti-
ton will make it easier, and it is very
! effective.

Vegetable. Hash.

Hash may be made with one or many
vegetables and with or without the adj
dition of meat or fish. Potato is the
most useful vegetable for hash because
it combines well with meat or other
vegetables. The vegetables must be
chopped fine, well seasoned with salt
and pepper and with parsley, onion,
chiveS or green pepper if desired, and
moistened with stock, milk or water,
using a. quarter of cupful to a pint of
hash. Melt half tablespoonful of but
ter or savory drippings in a pan. Put
in the hash, spreading it evenly and
dropping small pieces Of butter or drip
pings over the top. Cover the pan.
Let the hash cook over moderate fire
for half an hour. Fold over like an
omelet and serve. If properly cooked.
there will be a rich brown crust formed
on-the outside of the hash.
