TO PLAY
FOR AIR BROADCAST
Fun Indoors

Some questions are asked
assistants in the children's de-
partment of the public library
over and over again. Parents
always are inquiring, How can
I amuse my child on a rainy
day?", What are the best
books on handicraftS for chill
dren?" and What can I give
a sick child to read?"
The same category of books
answers all three questions.
For rainy day diversions and
children confined to bed the
same list of books will serve.
Distraught parents will find
these titles a boon: Gard
Castles" by Adams; "Pastimes
for Sick Children" by Whit
ten; "a Hundred Things a Girl
Can Make" by Snow; Making
Tin Can Toys" by Thatcher;
New Book of Magic" by
Leeming; "Harper's Book for

MI. Fixit-The alley east of Dear

same is true of Clayton street from

you help us? w. S.

Will be taken care of as soon as possible.
Winship said.
Mr.. FiXit-Hawthorne lane from
Ellenberger to North streets is i'm
passable on rainy days. Can we get
some cinders? L. K.
Street Commissioner W.. H.. Winship
has promised to care for his request
as previous requests are filled.
Mr.. FiXit-We would like to have
some bad mudholes filled with Gin
ders. The holes are at Thirty-sec-
ond and Euclid avenue, and on
Thirty-second west to the alley.
Our only way to get in our garage
is by this route. MRS. N. H.

use for flavor only. Meat can no
longer take its place as a single dish,
but should be combined with onions,
carrots and potatoes to make a
savory stew.
Dried peas and beans and lentils
furnish appetizing soups and casse-
role dishes that are nourishing and
cheap.
Potatoes in some form should be
served daily. Baked or boiled in
their jackets, they contribute much
food value.
Cheese combined with bland foods
such as macaroni and rice with the
addition of canned tomatoes makes
a tempting main dish for the whole
family.
Naturally, the larger the budget
the greater the variety of foods
available. Cheap cuts of meat to be
used as pot roasts, fish, eggs. a wider
selection Of vegetables and fruits
and simple desserts would find their
way into a more liberal plan.
The accompanying menus are
typical of balanced low cost dinners
Each contains the necessary kinds of
food materials-protein, fat, car
bohydrates, minerals and vitamins.

DROBABLY the first requisite for

an understanding of the season.
ing and combining Of foods. 1t is
really surprising to discover what
savory dishes can be prepared from
next to nothing"
With this ability goes a knowledge
of food values and the needs Of
growing bodies. If one knows that
the cheaper forms of vegetables will
supply the same nutrients that +
found in dollhouse and shipped lux
uries there is less danger of an in
adequate diet.
Professor Sherman of Columbia
university expresses this idea very
clearly in the following;
"a crisp green vegetable or a
juicy fruit may seem much more
preferable to a ptotato; but with
expenditure forced to a sufficiently
low level, the cheapest vegetable to
be had can carry the responsibility
for the whole group Of fruits and
vegetables during an emergency
period"
WHEN a thin pocketbook re-
w duces the food budget to an
abnormally low level. perhaps one
third Of the expenditure should go
for milk and its products, one-ffth
for fruit and vegetables and the rest
for bread and cereals, which are
cheap sources Of calories.
These foods provide the absolutely
essential mineral elements and vita
minis as well as calories to prevent
actual weakness from hunger.
Thus. Professor Sherman says:
THE dietary should be built around
bread and milk. Milk builds bone
and muscle better than any other
food. And more than this, milk is
both the cheapest and the surest
protection from the nutritional
deficiencies whicA open the way to
diseases and lifelong injuries"
Meats and fish can be eliminated
without undermining the health if
milk. bread n cereal and canned
tomatoes are supplied ab%undantly.

Declares.

THE evening schools have but one
semester a year." said w. A. Hack
er. assistant superintendent Of
schools Tuesday. They do not pro-
mote at mid-year as do the day

Hacker explained this as due to
the fact that the evening schools
meet during only five months of
the year. The present term will
end at the opening of spring vaca-
ton, March Is.
Evening school classes are being
held this year in twelve elementary
schools and three high schools.
Enrolment Increased
Number of students attending
