Far more because when man can do as he pleases he shows his real character. When he is at work-unless' he is one of those fortunate mortals whose work is his play-he does what he has to do. J. Franklin Wright, of De- troit, founder of that remarkable organization "Pathfinders of America.' maintains that seven P. M. is the most important mo- ment of our lives, because we are then usually deciding how to spend our evening, the time We can do as we please. Our deci- sion at that moment shows all the work af the day.

PEARS, BAKED LIKE APPLES, ARE IDEAL FOR BREAKFAST
BY MARY E. DAGUE NEA Service Staff Writer

In spite of their seeming sweet ness, pears are somewhat acid and consequently an excellent tonic fruit Their flavor is refreshing, tending to tone up a tired summer appetite. Used fresh in salads, fruit cups and desserts or as a breakfast fruit, they offer welcome change.
 Unlike most fruits, pears are best when picked green and allowed to ripen in storage. Storage e-ripened pears develop better flavor and finer texture than those that are ripened: In choosing pears, those on the verge of greenness rather than ripeness are desirable.
 Bake Like Apples
 Baked pears may be prepared like baked apples and are especial ly good for breakfast with bacon and eggs. If wanted for dessert, they can be pared and cored, sprinkled with sugar and baked, covered in a moderate oven for an hour. A little ground ginger mixed with the sugar improves the flavor for many persons. Served with whipped cream and ginger cookies, they make an inviting last course for an August dinner. Two table, spoons sugar for each pear makes the fruit pleasantly sweet for the average taste.
 Stuffed pear salad always is pop ular. Cream cheese mixed with minced preserved ginger and fine ly chopped nut meats is a zestful combination. Peanut butter and cream cheese makes another good stuffing, too. Seedless white grapes and nuts folded into fruit salad dressing is another inviting mix ture with fresh pears.
 Fritters for Dessert
 Fritters made with pears area splendid hearty sauce, pear fritters make a fitting dessert for a veg table dinned. Pear the fruit and cut it in cery thin slices. Drop into fritter batter and fry in deep hot fat. Drain on crimpled paper and serve with ginger sauce.
 Sauted pears with chocolate sauce may prove to be a favorite dessert in your family. The pears are pared and cut in halves ana Drowned lightly in butter. Then put them into a serving dish and pour over hot chocolate sauce. Let stand until cool and then chill for several hours. Serve. with or without a garnish of whipped cream.

EEY0UR CHILDREN
By Olive Roberts Bsrtoe
8N51 6T Nz1 Sf1EIe5, lse

This has been a "prickly-heat'' summer, and the mother and her baby still have a mon4h or more to go.
 Even older children break out with the itchy rash at times, and nothing makes them crossef or more sleepiess.
 Most mothers know now that cool dressing is the secret of pre- venting heat rash. Baby can be happier in his birthday clothes plus a diaper than all 'bound round with wOllen string" as the saying goes. A little cotton band or shirt is in order, if his mother is just sure he's going to catch cold. But when the ther- mometer is hugging 90, how could he? And Jimmy and Sue don't need thing more than enough to save their self-respect. Any little gadget of a suit, loose and minue almost everything is best.
 Starts From Precipitation
 But-in spite of all this, the itchy pimples do come. Why? Well-lift baby or Jimmy or Susy out of bed and observe the pool of precipitation on the sheet. This is why prickly heat appears most ly on the back and neck. The face perspires freely, too, so perhaps the red roughness is also on the cheeks and ears.
 The answer is baking soda again, and copious baths. Keep a jar on hand with a soda solution of one teaspoonful to the pint. Dab 1t on and let it dry. Do it several times day. freely, on the affected parts.
 Bran is good old-fashioned remedy, too. Put some bran in a little porous bag and swish it around in the bath water. one doctor recommends regular feed store bran before 1t has been "de- natured" by all sorts of processes such as we demand for our break fast tables. Maybe it is dustier that way. But anyway, bran.
 Baking Soda Remedy
 However, I cannot desert my good old friend, baking soda. It., too, is good for the bath water in hot weather. Make it weaker than for the pricklN treatment by half. Put a teaspoonful to the quart or even to two quarts for the baby's bath and the other children'S too. It is soothing and comfortable and may prevent the heat rash as well as help to cure it.
 Don't be afraid to give the baby more than one tepid bath a day in torrid weather. That is, if he is well and strong. Otherwise, get your doctor to tell what is safe without weakening him. He can be bathed three times day, or even four. But I think some of them would better be quick sponges.
 Make baby's baths snappy af fairs, anyway. This is why. To soak in tepid water is enervating. Don't let the other children soak in it for an hour either.
 At any rate, frequent baths. cool clothes and the soda will de- feat the itchy rash if persisted in.
 It if gets too bad, go to the doc tor. Don't allow any child to go on suffering. Some cases are per sistent and will not respond to simple home remedies.

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS.
 Big Candy-EaterS


 Many women l know are always swearing off from candy in order to reduce, hut nearly every one admits she gets so hungry for it every week or two that she has 10 break her resolution and gorge. (L.K. McM.)
 Answer-I believe that craving is due to faulty nutrition, parti. cularly the deficiency of the diet in mintrals and vitamins.
 Chemical ImpOssibility.
 What do you think of an inter spoonful of limestone phosphate in a tumbIer of water each morn ing before breakfast? Mrs c. Al.
 Answer-Analysis showed that socalled Limestone p h phate" sodium acid phosphate. The Time stone part of it is just a joke. After the stuff has effervesced in the glass of water, you have left small dose of phosphate of soda, which ordinarily costs about 25 cents pound. But MT and Mrs Wiseacre like theirs in pretty pack ages.
 SoAh
 Please advise. me. whether Ca certain brand) or corn syrup Is wholesome and nutritious. We have always given our children all they want of it. (F. M. O.
 Answer-Yes, it is quite as nu- tritious and wholesome as cane sugar syrup.
 CarOtin
 Is carotene of the same nature as carotin which is used in color ing butter? co. l.. S.)
 Answer-Yes. Carotin is abun- dant in carrots, spinach, yellow squash, yellow turnips, parsnips, pumpkins, green and yellow beans, egg yolk, oranges, lettuce. It gives the yellowish color to pure butter fat or cream. It is thought to be the precursor of Vitamin A. Too much of these foods containing carotin sometimes gives the skin a yellowish tinge, especially the palms and soles. but not the whites of the eyes. The yellow tinge dis appears soon after the excess of the yellow food is stopped. Copyright 1884, John F. Dille Col

A clear complexion is one of the first reduisites of beauty. A girls skin may be smooth and free from minor eruptions, but if it's sallow or muddy, 1t isn't really lovely.
 If your skin has conspicuous yellowish or grayish tones, see a doctor. It may be that some physi- cal disability is at the root of the trouble. If this is not the case, re- solve to do a few things to make your skin clear and attractive.
 Remember to drink ten glasses of water day. And eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables instead of rich pastries and too many starchy foods. Get at least eight sure to sleep with the windows open. Take some daily exercise in the fresh air.
 Don't forget that skin tonics tend to clarify the skin. Get a good one and use 1t often-after cleasing with either cream or water and after any kind of home facial.
 Now you can't expect to &C., complish miracles. Wait at least two months for results. If sal- lowness still persists, try an oc- casional bleaching treatment. If you're serious and methodical about your beauty, you certainly will correct the faults. It takes little time-that's all.
