NEA Service Writer Cranberries are in market again and can be used to add variety to late fall meals. They keep excel. lently, and, unless frostbitten, will remain crisp and full favored Tor a long time.
 There is one precaution to keep in mind when serving cranberries. Although they are excellent sources of iron and other minerals, and even though their ask is al- kaline, nevertheless they tend to increase body acidity. Persons who must guard against this tendency should not indulge too freely in the jolly red berry. With this ex- ception, cranberries have many virtues that give them an import ant place among the fruits.
 They are so easy to use, requir- ing no pairing or seeding before cooking. After thorough washing and looking over for soft fruit the berries are ready to cook. They blend we'll with the flavor of any meat and can be served as an accompaniment to roast pork, veal or mutton, as well as to the tra- ditional turkey.
 Salads, puddings and conserves are piquant and attractive when made with the colorful berries Sugar should not be aded until the fruit is cooked tender. This method produces the finest and most delictae flavor and also uscs less sugar.
 Cranberry ice can be served ir place of sauce or jelly with roast pork or turkey at a formal dinner or it makes an excellent dessert after A hearty meal.

 She took the veal and cut 1t into pieces about three inches square.
 She used her kitchen shears for this.
 She fioured the pieces on both sides.
 Tn a heavy frying pan she put some bacon fat and when it was hot she added the meat and cooked it, turning frequently, until it was brown on both sides. While the meat was browning she was adding a few thin slices of onion to the mixture in the frying pan.

Then he told the story emitting no details. up to the point where Sue had taken advantage ci his wife's desire to sell the desk, to examine it, since she knew that it contained the missing paper. "she got the paper. and she still has it, and I'm going to get it." he finished. T moved out of my house, and came down here until my wife comes to her senses. She had no business to let you in.

YOUR CHILDREN. bgNlpRobeyzsRatau
1Ol95IBY YNtA SERVICE, INC. [

Do not allow the children to whine. By whining I mean a lot of things-first and foremost a tone of injured complaint every time their mothers come within earshot, second the habit of ex- pressing their troubles instead of their pleasures, and third blaming other people for every unpleasant thing that happens to them.
 To this list may be added the eternal alibi of getting out of do- ing things that they should do cheerfully, such as growing about going to bed, getting up, helping their mothers and doing their les sons.
 Some children" are born with mouths that turn down at the cor ners, it seems, or lower lips that "the cat could siton" as our grand mothers used to say, chronic pout- CTS that go about indulging in a perfect orgy of self-pity.
 All this, or any of it, in fact, is perfectly dreadful, not only be- cause it makes life such burden to the family, but because it is the material that neuresthenia feeds on in later life. Do you know that a neuresthenic is first and fore most person who is sorry for himself?
 So don't encourage the winners, or better still, put stop to any in- cipient case of bouts from the very start.
 Children often adopt a tone of long suffering from some older person, most commonly from their mothers. If a mother is tired, nerv- ous, and irritable from over-work or ill-health the first thing to show it is her voice. It is difficult to speak or act as though one had just inherited a million dollars when everything in the house is lgoing wrong-but I have found the habit of complaint quite as common among women who had very little reason for it as among those who were enduring real hardship. So often we mothers are inclined to think that we are abused when as a matter of fact have oceans of blessings to be thankful for.
 No-the habit of personal com. lplaint creeps on us unwittingly and our children pick up. We should be careful and at least try to keep our voices normal and make a stab at being cheerful . when they are around. for they , initiate us unconsciously but ob- solutely.
 It often happens that a child will be as happy as a lark when } he is with other people but the minute he comes into the house he adopts whine. Once within earshot of his mother he suddenly develops a great desire for sym pathy and he is going to indulge it to the utmost every chance he gets. He loves to hear her worry about him, to be sorry for him, to have her. fuss over him and pet : him. Watch this. good mothers. and don't allow it. Insist that your son or your daughter show you a cheer ful face and smile.
 When a child has a task to do. Tiff it is something entirely reason- able and normal. do not permit him to stall or become cross or emotional over 1t, or unhappy to the point of illness. Just keep your . own temper and cheerfulness, but be firm, have him ge at 1t without any dismal rhetoric.
 The truth of the matter Is that . a child's unhappy attitude is habit. . Do you remember the old saying Iabout habit and destiny?
