SUMMING UP SUMMER

0ONANAANU OE 0Omm6ES HEALTH RULES A general summary of rules for keeping the baby and other chill dren safe and well during the sum- mer may be of help. Watch changes of weather. Keep them out of the boiling sun coolly. On such days the baby's given in the early morning. On cold nights see that covers are plenty and chilling draughts do not blow over beds. Ask the doctor about baby bands. Go on with the regular cooked meals for the family. Children cannot live on salads. fruits and picnic lunches.
 Wash all fruits and vegetables and wash them again-thorough- ly. Especially those eaten raw. Boil the Feeding Things Boil everything that comes in contact with baby food-bottles, nipples, utensils, and so on. Never touch the business end of a nipple with the fingers and wash your Ehands before putting it on the bottle.
 Keep furmula, after being pre- pared and put into bottles, near enough to ice to cool to below 50 degrees K. Keep that way until used. The milk should be warmed in the bottles. All bottles should be stoppered before setting in the ice box.
 | Ask the doctor about continu- ing cod-liver oil through the hot weather. Some babies need 1t and some don't.
 | Get the doctor to give you di- rections for carrying on through the summer. Get the diet not only for the baby but for the other children too. And ask him about sunbaths while you are talking to him.. This is important.
 Keep Sick Children Away
 Keep all sick children away, even those with colds. If a child in the family has contagious disease, keep him absolutely off by himself.
 Regular hours for meals and sleep are necessary. Don't keep the children up late at night. Don't allow too much eating of sweets between meals. After meals is the time. Never just before a meal.
 Ice water is likely to cause trouble. Cooled water is safer. Teach the children to drink it slowly.
 See that the children get their regular milk-not less than pint a day apiece. More if you can pro- vide it. It can bedrunk straight or used in cooking. | Don't allow the children to eat green or hard fruit, or over-ripe l fruit.
 The Dangers of Swimming If they go swimming make them wait an hour after meals. And one hour at time should be the limit on hot day. Less on cool one. Fresh water is exhausting. l Don't allow them to go into strange pools or rivers. Children should never bathe without ar older person, a good swimmer along.
 Cuts and scratches should be attended to at once. Wash witf a clean sterilized cloth and boiled water and pour on iodine or what. ever antiseptic your doctor sug. gests you kep on hand. Have sup. plies such as bandages in til. closet in case of accident.
 Tell the children at all times te keep their hands away from theil mouths. Most summer illnesse! are directly attributable to dir and germs carried this way.

COOK SHOULD REMEMBER


 The delicacy and sweetness of flavor of asparagus disappear soon after 1t is gathered, so, to be at us best, it should be cut and used im- mediately if possible.
 When buying, look for straight, crisp stalks with the little pointeu scales pressed tightly against tho stalk at the tip where the growth | is the newest.
 Thick stalks are more desirable than thin ones because the i lengthy thin stalks usually desig- nate long growth and consequent | toughness. Be sure, too. that the cut surface is not dry and that the stalk does not feel tough ana woody nor look shriyeled. Handle Like Flowers After buying fresh asparagus treat it as carefully as you would cut flowers. If tied in a puncn, cut the cord. Keep it fresh by Standing in a little water to re- tain it's natural moisture and put it in cool place.
 When ready to cook, cut off the tough ends. Wash them well and put them to cook in cold water. This extracts the mineral salts and the water is used to cook the rest of the asparagus, the tough ends being skinned out and discarded.
 It's also an excellent plan to re- move the scales on the stalks. Very often sand and grit are found lodged under these scales so close to the stalk that no amount of brushing or washing can remove them. The heads should be ham, dled very tenderly because they are easily bruised. Do not at tempt to scrape the scales from the heads.
 You can cut the stalks in inch lengths and cook them in boiling water, adding the heads when the rest of the asparagus is about half done. This is an old-fashioned way of preparing the vegetable and was popular during the day of 'side" dishes. If you add plenty of milk and butter to the liquid in which the asparagus was cook ed you have actually thin cream soup that makes nourishing luncheon dish for children.
 Try This Modern Method
 The modern way of cooking is to tie the asparagus in small punches suitable for individual service and cook them standing upright in boiling water. Enough water to cover the thick part of the stalks should be used. In this way the heads cook in the steam for the most part. When the stalks are almost done. lay bunch- es flat in water to finish cooking. This insures a perfectly cooked unbroken tip. When ready to serve, remove, each bundle from kettle, cut and remove strings and serve with melted butter or drawn butter sauce made with the liquid in which asparagus was cooked.

CHAPTER VI

There was no sign in Lida Stafford's smiling face that Bar rett's words had aroused her. She said warmly. "How charming of youl Please do come. I've been anxious about Elinor lately and the sort of young men she seems to prefer. I'd like to have her know youR
 That, Lida thought with satis- faction, was a start and a good one. She wasn,t going to have Barrett Colvin paying attentions to her daughter. It would completely spoil her plans. Lida wanted to cultivate Barrett because she knew Aunt Ella thought highly of him. Winning his friendship would im- press Aunt Ella, who had the old, fashioned notion that marriage should provide clear and devoted view of one's husband and blind- ness to all others.
 CuFtuSEIIlOEG,, DdTIStI SOifAb was attractive and Lida was not ready to believe any attractive man could prefer her daughter to herself.
 sjhe was sure that her words had found their mark. She had seen the stiffening of Barrett's honest face. The thing to do, Lida decided a few moments later as she waited in the airless re- ception room for Miss Ella, was to make Barrett feel that there was no redeeming Elinor He wal credulous as a child. It would be easy to convince him that Elinor was a member of the wild younger set. Oh, yes, shc knew just how. to manage 1t! And to man of his sort that would be enough. Rtt
 IAda moved restlessly. Would the old lady never come? Bar rett Colvin had said she was well. Only that morning the manager of . small, select grown shop had asked insinuatingly. listing sey- eral purchases, Your cousin. Miss Sexton-is she well?" The woman's glance had been chilly and 1t had held a question. too.

2.-Yes. To answer this in full one should read William James famous essay, "The Energies of Men," one of the gems of all psy- chological literature. He shows how most all of us work at vast ly lower level of achievement than we could and should. And how, very often, some great crisis lifts us suddenly to new and unsuspect- ed levels of personal power. We seem to tap new and unknown res- ervoirs of energy. New responsi- bilities, such as marriage, children. death, reverses of fortune either crush or else electrify all mans emotions with new enthusiasms. touch his imagination to new ad- venture and turn all the tide and

1.-John Siddall, one of the great est magazine editors of the past generation, actually answered that question in the heroic way that it should be answered. He went ahead with greater energy than ever, always cheerful, always cour- teous, always planning for the fu- ture. Even his associates did not know but that he had twenty years of dynamic life ahead. In that one year he did his greatest work. And when his end came he met it calm ly, true to the great traditions of the brave men of all time and of the races. This seems to me to answer the question as I hope I should answer 1t myself if nature asked it of me.

 3. - Certainly. If he cannot he does not know either life or his- tory, or have any broad apprecia- ton of the cooperative life of man and woman which alone can bring the highest rewards to either. In our schools and in some of the proc fessions such as medicine men and women associate on a common level without the slightest thought of masculine self-respect being lowered. If men feel lowered m their self-respect when women are placed on their level, it is due to ignorance, intolerance and lack or the sense of chivalry and fair play.

gasoline or with thick father of soap which may later be washed off with warm water, alcohol or gasoline. It is not we'll to apply ointments of unknown composition or liniments, because these may do more harm than good to the in- jured skin. If the poison has de- vefoped to a serious stage a doc- tor should be consulted.
 It Is always well in handling plants, brushwood and other ma- terials in the woods or in camps to wear gloves and, by all means. to keep the hands away from the face, the eyes and other portions of the body. Otherwise. the hands may serve to spread the poison.
 It should be realized that, more than any other part of the body, the skin is likely to be affected by heat and sunlight. The constant secretion of the sweat, with the accumulation of dust and other materials on the skin aids the de- velopment of germs of various tial at frequent intervals in the summer.
 The skin is constantly shedding dead cells. A lukewarm bath and the use of bland soap will re- move all of the dead material. the infectious material and the per- spiration from the skin. Such a bath is alsoconducive to restful sleep.
 After the bath the skin may be powdered. It is particularly im- portant to place the powder in areas where two skin surfaces come together, such as the inner sides of the thighs, under the breasts, under the arms and be- tween the toes.
 The avoidance of rubbing and will do more than any, thing else to save the surface of the skin ane to avoid breaking of the surface. with ready access to infection by germs and parasites.
 It Is not advisab ble to use lotions and toilet water of unkonwn com- position. It has been shown that some of these contain ingredients which tend to deposit in the skin on exposure to the sun, producing all sorts of streaks and markings. Soaps used during the summer should be mild, because of the possibility of irritation.

Simple Cooking Favored
 By the House of Lords

Eating like lord" has for ages signified the best cuisine money could buy, but review of the catering for the house of lords has brought to light the sim pie tastes of peers. The most popular order in the refreshment department of the house of lords Is "sausages and mashed" the same thing that appears on every working-man's table several times week. Next in popularity is Cottage pie" and for dessert plum tart has no rivals, we are advised by the Institute of American Meat Packers.
 Peers prefer plain living, but some of them have certain idiosyn- crasies. Two noble lords, for ex- ample, always sit at dinner with their hats on and are quite uncon- cerned about 1t. As for teas, the lords want to be served in the old fashioned way with plenty of cher ry cake and Bath buns, no cream buns or stick chocolate confections. And the tea must be strong. made with water that has just come to the boil, and in the latter case those who know will agree with them.
 King George dined recently in the house of lords and 1t was the first time king has done so m 400 years. The last royal guest was Henry VIII. King Georges favorite dish. saddle of mutton, was served, and his favorite flow CTS, Malmaison carnations. were used as table decoration. The prince of Wales is like his father in his appreciation of good. plain English fare. And for wines, "drinking like a lord" more often than not means barley water!
