Modern Menus
BY MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX NEA Service Staff Writer

INEA SCTVICC OtdA1 WEltCE
 Too many sirloins make John not only poor but also a dull boy Muscle-meat cuts, such as steak, roasts and chops will not supply all the elements needed by a well nourished body. So-called meat spe- cialties belong in the 100 per cent nutriment picture. The National Live Stock and Meat Board has is- sued bulletin which contains in- formation many housewives need to know, both for economy and also for completely balanced meals through the winter months.
 Brains
 Beef, veal, lamb and pork brains all are used. They are economical yet considered by many as luxury. They will not keep any length of time unless pre-cooked. Soak first ill cold water, then simmer gently in salted, calculated water to make them firmer, and they will keep longer. After pre-cooking, plunge them again into cold water. This will whiten them. They are ready now for Scrambling with eggs, to be served in cream sauce, or fried in deep fat.
 Calf liver is in greatest demand But use of beef, pork or lamb liver is also recommended on basis ot economy. From standpoint of fooo value, calf liver, which costs more has no advantage over the other kinds. Pork liver is a rich source o1 iron. Liver may be broiled, fried ir deep fat, praised, either in large pieces or in slices.
 Heart
 Calf, lamb and pork hearts arc more tender than beef hearts, but all need long slow cooking in moist heat, beef heart requiring a longer cooking period than the others Stuff heart with a savory breac stuff1ng and brown it, then add 2 little liquid and cook slowly in { covered kettle. The use of breae dressing increases the size of thu servings.
 Tongue
 Beef, calf, lamb and pork tongue! are all used, but beef and calf ton. gues are larger. Tongue is cooked in water at a simmering tempera. ture until tender, then removed trimmed and skinned. Spices may b. added to the simmering water. Kidneys
 Kidneys should be cut to re. move white tubes and the fat ane then soaked in cold water for hail an hour before cooking.

East decided against opening his long suit.
 The opening lead was the five of spades, which Solomon, sitting North, won with the jack. The club eight was led, which held the trick. r When the second club was led by declarer, West won with the king and returned a heart. East's queen won and the ace of heart laid down. Now a small heart was led, but It was too late. Declarer made two spades, one heart, two diamonds and four ciilhs for his contract.

Household Hints -:- WOMAN'S REALM
.RARENTS--
 Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

Parents often worry about the in- huence of young friends upon their children. There is Sandy, for in- stance, who hoots and belittles everything our Fred does. Fred is forever trying to show Sandy that he isn't afraid. And thus Fred gets into trouble.
 Then there is Carver, who is al- ways so cross and demanding. Fred runs his legs off trying to please the bigger and older boy. Nothing pleases this Sore-head of child, but because he is grade ahead, Fred would rather have kind word from him than eat his dinner.
 Another thorn in our thumbs Is Art. Art is a giggler who never takes anything seriously. He likes to call our Frederick sissy, when Fred is trying to study or runs in to change his muddy shoes.
 Others Are Still Worse
 "What's the use?" giggles Art. You are the fussiest person I ever saw. You're always trying to please somebody. Take it easy, the way do. Let the rest of them worry" The worst of Art is that he is kind under it all and has gotten a good grip on our sons affections by lug ging home his books when he has an errand to do, or giving him a place in the new club. He does things himself for people, but he jeers when his cronies try to please. There are others, of course. Gerald is jealous. Mort is calculating, and uses other peoplpe's belongings to further his own ends. Eddie is a boss and cracks mean whip. Ed die is 8 born manager, but we fear that he is robbing our Fred of initia- tive and leadership.
 Here, on the face of it, appears to be hopeless array of impos- sible applicants for the boys friend ship, but for some reason or other he takes glory and pride in them all. They are his crowd and he refuses to see what we see. He is unhappy part of the time, but right carefree and normal for most of it.
 He Likes Them All
 We try to open his eyes, but he goes to bat every time for each of his friends. What a boy, we think impatiently. So blind he can't see. Stubborn as a mule when we at tempt to show him that he should take sides on his own account and stand up for himself.
 Unless one of these boys is mak- ing life too unbearable for our child, or the combined influence is sap ping him of all independence, the best way is to let Fred alone. Most of these boys have lot of good in them and constitute fair cross sec tion of friends everywhere. They represent life and business and hu- manity.
 Little by little our Fred is learn ing from the daily struggle more than we may think. Unless he is completely spineless, he will learn to resist the extremes of relation ship, because his sense of justice will stand only so much. He sees other boys resenting certain man. nerisms and he will learn more from them than from us
 And perhaps our Fred has be- setting sin also We might be sur prised at another mothers opinion. Copyright, 1888, NEA Service, Incl

SIGNS OF GOOD VEAL

When you buy veal the next time, be sure of these points: it should have a faint, pink flesh, little or no edge fat, and other fat should be pinkiSh in tint. Milk fed veal is the best and should be at least four weeks old before it is slaughtered.

REMOVING STICKY SPOTS

To remove gum or sticky fly paper from materials, take as much as possible off by scraping, then gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, or alcohol will remove the rest. Rain spots will come out if you sponge with clear, cool water or press the material under cloth wrung out of hot water.

the Delaware Breakwater, with a
large amount of treasure on board

Thursday morning last Capt. t.Adams
asked DR.. Pancoast for money to
purchase coal for the steamer, but
the latter had expended all the
money allowed him by the syndi-
cate and some of his private funds
and declined to furnish any more.

WALLS BECK WEDDING

At the early hour OF 7.3O yeSter-
day morning. the appointed time
for the wedding ceremony, called a
large number of our citizens to the
Methodist Church to witness the
union Of two hearts, Edward G..
Walls one of our young merchants,
and Miss Lizzie Beck, second
daughter of Edward Beck. The
church had been beautifully decor
ated by the friends of the bride. A
large evergreen arch spanned the
central aisle in front of the altar
from which suspended a handsome
floral bell under which the bride
and groom stood during the cere-
mony. A massive bank of pot flow
ers in blooms of many colors filed
the pulpit place, while at either
side were vases of attractive plants
and baskets Of trailing vines hang
ing from the gallery brackets. The
morning was dark and lowering,
which was not only relieved but
softened in effect by the mellow
light thrown on the scene from full
gas jets. The strains of the we'd
ding march from the organ by Miss
Clara Wilson announced the ar
rival of the candidates, the ushers,
John v. Spruance, Thomas Mccoy,
Edward DeFord and Medford
Walls, of Maryland, cousin of the
groom, proceeding them to the
altar. The Rev William S. Robin
son solemnized the services in a
very effective manner, using the
ring and long ceremony, the re-
sponses being clear and distinct,
ending by pronouncing them hus-
band and wife, with his congratu-
lations. They retired slowly to a
room below from which after a
season Of hand shaking and express
sions Of good wishes from the
many friends who crowded around
them, they were driven to Clayton
TO take the train for a trip toWash-
ington, followed by a shower of
rice. The bride was attired in
close fitting, dark steel travelling
dress, the groom and ushers in the
conventional black, with lapel rose
buds. The bride has been the re-
cipient Of many handsome and val

gels, doves and lambs are not so
popular as they once were, accord
ing to James S. Walker, who for
SO years has been cutting and polish
ing gravestones.
Markers these days seem to be
following the modern trend-they
are more streamlined than they
once were" Walker said.
"Once the demand was great for
the extra frills such as flying doves
or angels, but now, conforming to
the times, our marker designs are
more simple"
Walker said the practice of in
scribing the deceased's life history
on his gravestone was also going out
of style.
1T used to be-" he said, that
information regarding a person
could be obtained only by reading
his graveStone.
Now, however, county and city
governments keep records of birth
and death, so that a persons his
tory doesn't have to be carved in
marble"
The latest thing in graveyards is
the family plot, he said. A large
marker bears the family name, and
small individual stones are placed,
usually flush with the ground, about
the centerpiece, as occasion de-
