To "Point : Up" Appetite
 .Just Stimulate Bowels

Whenever the end of the day finds you out-of-sorts; food doesn't tempt you and won't digest; breath is bad; tongue coated, just chew a candy tablet before bedtime. To- morrow you'll be a new person!
 A candy Cascaret clears up bil- ious, gassy, headachy condition every time. Puts appetite on edge. Helps digestion. Activates bowels.
 Cascarets are made from cas- cara. which authorities say actual ly strengthens bowel muscles. So, take these delightful tablets as often as you please; or rive them freely to children. All drug stores sell Cascarets for q dime. and no dollar preparation could do better work.

Dinner After Matinee

that is a little better than ordinary, SO
that your young husband won't grow to
dread your afternoons with the girls.
Be fair enough to see that when you've
had a good time all afternoon while he
is working, he should have pleasant
temper and a good meal waiting for
him.
So let's plan a couple OF menus TO
follow an afternoon out. One menu
will be for you to prepare in jiffy in
case there is no one in the home to get
it started for you a half hour or SO
before YOU come. The other menu'wlll
be the sort that needs little help, but
simple enough so that If your only help
is the girl who looks after the baby or
an invalid relative, nothing of imror-
tance is expected of her. Most OF the
! work in both cases will be done before
you leave.
pan-broiled pork chops or lamb chopS,
new peas or fresh asparagus, French
fried potatoes, lettuce with 1000 Island
dressing, lemon meringue pie ana
coffee.
This is the menu that you prepare
alone:
The tomato juice may be ready pre-
pared in a can, or it may be that you
prefer it made from fresh tomatoes, or
that you want to drain it from can
of tomatoes. ANY way you like 1t, 1T
may be prepared early in the day and
left in the refrigerator to chill.
The potatoes may be pared and sliced
and left to soak in cold water until you
come home. They need only to be
dried, fried and served.
The chops will need no early prepa-
ration. Pan-broiled chops are the
easiest in the world to prepare. Wipe
the chops and sprinkle them with salt
and a wee dash of pepper. Have an
iron skillet very hot and set over the
flame, but use no fat.
Scar the chops quickly on each side
and continue cooking them over hot
flame, turning every few seconds. If
any fat collects in the pan, pour 1t of.
The meat is not to be fried, you know.
It is to be broiled, but this method Is
little quicker because you don't have to
wait for the oven broiler to get as hot
as Is necessary for broiiing. You will
find the meat juicy and tender, too.
The peas are shelled in the morning
and salted. Asparagus is made ready,
too by cutting each stalk down as far
as it is tender. The stalks should be
about the same length. Tie them to-
bottom of the double boiler Is usually
good for this purpose.
Serve the vegetable with melted but
ter poured over it.
The pie is made in the morning, with
the exception of meringue. Beat that
up quickly when you get home and
brown it in the oven. It will take only
q minute or two.
Now for the other menu. It is SIM
ple, too, but needs a little help in the
preparation. It consists of banana and
fresh pineapple cocktail, baked pota-
toes, tomato gelatin salad, veal loaf,
escalloped cabbage, baked rice pudding
and coffee.
You will see that a great deal of
this dinner is prepared in the oven.
Tell your helper at just what time to
put each thing in the oven.
The meat loaf is all ready in its pan,
the potatoes have been scrubbed and
brushed lightly with butter, the cab
bage Is ali ready in its casserole, the
rice pudding mixed and ready to be
pushed in. For the cocktail, you pre-
pare the pineapple early, but the ba-
nanas should be added later.
