AVOID TAKING OUT KITCHEN
UTENSILS THAT YOU DO NOT

less the tools, utensils and leftover ma
terials, ingredients, ETC., whatever they
may be, are put away, a portion of the
job is incomplete. The confusion of ar
ticles left about and out of place is
often so disturbing to the mind that 1t
offsets the benefit of getting the task
done, however much 1t may have been
desired Also, If the worker does not
clear up, some one else has to, which
brings extra work on another member
of a family.
There are times, of course, when a
homemaker must do certain things re-
gardless of the temporary confusion
that must be permitted to remain longer
than wished. These occasional times
are exceptions to the rule of the maxim.
Leaving things out can get to be one
of the bad habits of housekeeping. This
Is assuming that 1t is the homemaker
who is at fault by laxness in putting
things away when a job Is done.
Some kitchens feel the effect of max

Everyday Psychology
Spending Money.
BIZ DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

Money spending has a psychology all
its own, even after the necessary bills
are taken care of. You can tell lot
about mans character, If you look
into his unnecessary expenditures.
The egoiSt goes on a spending spell
every time some one debates his ego
That is, If he can get the wherewithal.
And we are all egoists to some extent.
Economy is not only a virtue in itself,
but It is also the mark of a personality
that has its social environment under
control. That's why swindlers of all
kinds can never save anything.
When your ego suffers series OF re-
bluffs, your bank account is pretty likely
to suffer. Your access to money Is the
one thing that holsters you up. 1t is
said that when business man has had
a bad day he is pretty likely to bring
home a box of candy. An old school
grammar featured this sentence as an
exercise in sentence structure: The
jingling of the guinea helps the hurt
that honor feels"
If these things are true, we all have
something within us that comes pretty
close to being dear as life itself. That
something is our ego. There is lot
of talk nowadays about mental hygiene.
Perhaps your ego is the central thing
in mental health.
If we ever change our morning salu-
tation, so as to refer to the mind in
stead of the body, we will be greeting
one another as follows: How is your
ego today?"

Women in Medicine.

From young woman taking the pre-
medical course in the University OF
Idaho comes a QUESTIONABLE concern
ing the outlook for medical women
There are. five questions, two Of which
specifically refer to the prejudice
against the gentle sex in the profession
had bit Of that prejudice myself
20 or 80 years ago. Candidly, believe
now that my prejudice wae largely
mere jealousy of the ability of some OF
the medical women who happened to
beat me to 1t. do not pretend to speak
for my sex in the profession, but be-
lieve that there Is today virtually nc
prejudice against medical women, not
even among the laity.
The third question Is particularly
pertinent. 1t asks whether 1t Is easier
for the young medical man 10 obtain
appointment as inferno in a hospital
than 1t is for the young medical woman
Of equal training. Maybe 1t Is, but II
So then the women's clubs and other
organizations in this country are not
functioning very well. Aren't women
majority among hospital patients, and
should they not, have the privilege OF
attendance by physicians Of their OWL
sex II they desire It? I believe every
hospital should have as many women
internes as men and as many women
staff members as men, II the hospital
is for the public at large, without dis
elimination as to sex or previous con-
dition of Servitude.

the status of medical women. It Is

Fruit for Breakfast

far thus. combined with prunes. It also
goes far in fruit cup. combined with
diced apples and sliced bananas and a
diced orange.
Oranges are sometimes cheap enough
so that orange juice is not prohibitive
for the whole family. And when they
are cheap I think they should be served
literally, for they are surely wholesome.
When they are expensive they may be
made part of fruit cup.
Fresh and canned pineapples are de-
licious for breakfast once IN a while.
And occasionally grapes, even in VIM
ter, come within the limits OF the re-
stricted food budget. The clever house
wife watches the markets and buys un-
usual fruits when they are cheap, to
give her familys appetite the filllp of
a change.
Before very long rhubarD will be
back on the lists of inexpensive fruits.
And then 1t may be served several times
week, nicely stewed for breakfast If
your family likes it, and finds it whole
some, as most people do.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1931-01-28

1t is not really difficult, even on a
limited dietary-that is to say. on lin
tied amount of spending money for the
table-to have a great variety of fruit
for breakfast. And most people respond
better to variety than they do to mo-
notony. The child who thinks he
doesn't like fruit for breakfast would be
fooled into eating it, probably If it were
sufficiently varied and surprising.
Apples are Winter standby. Some
times they may be served raw. For the
child, remove the core and slice the
apple in four or five or six crosswise
slices, leaving the skin On. He will find
eating this sort Of apple, removing the
circle Of skin from each slice as he eats
it, great fun.
Then they may be served as apple
sauce, sometimes favored with CHINA
mon, sometimes with grated nutmeg.
They may be served stewed, with lit
tie grated lemon peel or else grated
orange peel added for flavor. They may
be baked, sometimes with pitted date
in the core cavity, sometimes with half
a fig, sometimes with raiSins, sometimes
with just cinnamon and sugar. And
baked, they may be served with or
without cream. When without, there
should be a strip with them, made by
adding sugar and water before they are
cooked.
Bananas NAV be served raw or baked
or fried for breakfast. They may be
sliced and served thus, combined with
some sorts of cereal, of the uncooked,
prepared sort.
Prunes may be served stewed alone,
and so may dried apricots. Or the two
may be combined. Stewed prunes may
also be served with couple of segments
of grapefruit to each saucer, the white
skin Of the grapefruit segments re-
moved.
Grapefruit is sometimes expensive,
but one grapefruit of medium size goes

Decides to See for Himself.
Check the stories that you hear;

-Rarmer HrOMn'a Hn

Farmer Browns Boy.
It was q queer story that Reddy Fox
had told. Reddy had said 1t was queer
and 1t was. Billy Mink didn't know
whether to believe It or not. It Is al
ways difilcult to believe q queer thing.
Billy watched Reddy out of sight then
decided to curl up for q nap in that
hollow between the roots Of an old
stump into which he had lodged when
Reddy appeared. When Billy awoke he
decided that he would go see for him.
self II what Reddy had told him was
true
He soon found a path that led up
into the woods and he followed this.
1t wasn't much of a path, but Billy
knew that 1t had been made by one
OF those two-legged creatures called
men. He hadn't gone far when his
nose told him, that there was meat
near. and led him straight to 1t. 1t
was only small piece and it reminded
him at once of pieces he had seen
traps baited with. At once he became
suspicious. Very carefully he circled
around 1t at safe distance
1T looks like bait, but don't see
any trap" said Billy. He looked still
more carefully, but no sign of a trap
could he find. He was sorely tempted
to seize that bait, but even as he
reached Tor 1t he had that funny feel
ing that Reddy Fox had told him about.
Something inside seemed to warn him
to leave that alone. Billy backed of.
Then with snarl he went on.
He hadn't gone far when he came
to another bait and near It was the
dead shrew Reddy had told him of. A
little farther on he found a dead crow
"Reddy did tell the truth" muttered
Billy, and continued on his way, that
funny feeling growing stronger and
stronger. BY this time he had quite
lost his appetite. He found several
other bats, but at none did he find
a trap, and this seemed to Billy very
queer very queer, indeed. Then he
found one of the relatives of Chatterer
the Red Squirrel lying dead not far
from one of those bats which he had
started to drag away.
That funny feeling had become fear,
a very great fear by this time. The
finding Of a. dead owl didn't make him
feel any better. No. sir, 1t certainly
didn't make him feel any better. In
fact, it made him feel worse. And when
at last he found dog also dead, Billy
decided then and there that this was
no place for him and the sooner he
got back to the Green Meadows and
the Green Forest, which Farmer Brown
md Farmer Browns Boy had made safe
for all little people the better.

Mrs. Gray sighed to think how de-
PRAYED youth was. But as she sat there
that evening she began to watch other
women. She saw the chaperones who
were ever bit as old as she was and they
looked fresh, young and vivid. They
chartered about books, plays, picture
galleries, magazine articles and what
not.
Within then ext few days Mrs. Gray
did some deep thinking. She had kept
her house modern, up to date and clean:
But had she done 1t at the sacrifice OF
her mind? How well furnished was
that? How much attention had she
paid to herself as an individual? Preci-

We want the woman who has brains,
character and courage. She must have
courage, else she Is defeated before she
begins. Let her take her degree and
procure her license and complete her
interneship and then hang out her
shingle and carry on under her own
power. If she is to truckle To some big

that is getting of to poor start. This
Is 1891. Women are people now.
The opportunities for the medical
woman Of Independent spirit and good
training were never before so good as
they are today. In every field, in al
most every speciality. the medical
woman Is on an even footing with her
medical brothers. She should regard
them as they regard her, as colleagues
and equals. Let her know her stun
and stand on her own feet and play
the game. Let her treat every patient
as she would her own mother or sister
or SON, and she can attain as great
distinction as was ever vouchsafed to
any man.
