Keep an eye on calcium, is ad-
vice to 1914 gardeners and family
meal planners from DR.. Henry C.
Sherman, chief of the Bureau of
Human Nutrition and Home Eco
nomics. This mineral, calcium, is
a food value very likely to be short
when family's meals are otherwise
up to good nutrition standards.
Ninety-nine per cent of the cal
cium in the body is used in build
ing and repair of bones and teeth.
The small remnant, the l per cent,
does special jobs in the blood and
nerves for the body's health and
efficiency. Some people go through
life calcium poor, says DR.. Sher-
man.
Since 1884 people in the United
States have benefited by steadily
getting more calcium, mainly be-
cause they have been using more
milk in various forms. When civil
ian milk supplies are limited, as in
the present war, civilians can do
these things about it, DR.. Sherman
suggests:
/. Include as much milk and
milk products in daily meals as
wartime conditions permit and
waste none.
2. Make good use of other sources
of calcium. While milk is the No. l
source and no other food is nearly
so rich a mine" green's from the
garden can be pretty good No. 2
of garden planners and family food
shoppers, green's that yield good
calcium returns include loose-leaved
varieties of green cabbage and
green lettuce, mustard and turnip
green's, broccoli, collards. kale-in
fact, most of the common green
leaf vegetables. However, head let
tuce and head cabbage have rela-
lively little of this mineral. A few
green's, such as spinach, chard,
lambsquarters, are not on the cal
cium list because, while they con-
tain considerable calcium, the body
does not use it. Other foods which
do their part toward the calcium
supply include dried beans, soy
beans, eggs, molasses.
3. Store up calcium by getting
liberal amounts in food when pos
sible. The body has a special stor-
age place in the bones for extra
supplies If calcium rich, the body
makes use of its reserve for the
strengthening of joints, and in time
of calcium need, the reserve is
quickly available.

love dearly. We are both in our
early 2Os and have been very happy
but now he asks me to do something
I cannot do. He wishes me to adopt
his son, the result Of an indiscreet
love affair. I want babies of my
own and not another woman's. The
mother is dead, but feeling as I dc
I could not make a good stepmother
Don't you think it best to leave the
baby with its mothers people?
HEARTBROKEN.
Answer-Undoubt it will be
better for the child to remain with
its mothers people if you feel that
way about it, for no crime on earth
equals that of being cruel to de-
fenseless little child. The good step
mothers who take another woman's
children to their hearts and mother
them surely will have the reserved
seats in heaven, while as for the
bad stepmothers-truly "it were bet
ter for him that a milestone were
hanged about his neck and be cast
into the sea than to offend one OF
these little ones"
OF course, there is no reasoning
with jealousy, but inasmuch as this
child was born before you had any
claim upon its father, I do not SEE
why you should be any more op.
posed to receiving it as a stepchilc
than you would your husbands

take great love and great nobility ol
soul for a woman to take her hus-

the stools or work chairs. A sunny
window may have shelf for plants
that will give that personal touch
which makes every room appealing.
If you have decorated pottery or
bright colored cooking bowls don't
hide them in cupboard. They have
decorative value, mainly because
they are used every day and give
your culinary quarters character.
Put them out on view. Place them
on shelves close to your work area
so that they are at arms length
when you want them. This will
save you many an extra minute in
time getting things out and putting
them away again. And in the mean
time they add a bright note of color
to the scene.
You may find that the waste bas-
kets and many other items for your
kitchen which used to be made of
| tin are no longer available. Investi-
gate the heavy pressed paper con-
tainers which are taking their place.
These are very good looking when
| they have coat of enamel to match
the color scheme of your kitchen.
We guarantee you will enjoy ham
ding utensils which are so light in
weight, do not dent or shed their
paint and are so inexpensive. Treat
ed with two coats of washable en-
amel they are just as scrubbable as
the metal variety.
If your linoleum is worn and you
are not on the market for a new
floor at this time, this may also be
freshened with paint Use two or
three coats of good floor and deck
enamel. Give each coat "a hours to
dry before painting the next one.
When the final coat is dry wax the
! surface and keep a sheer coat of wax
on it at all times. We do not recon-
mend this for inlaid linoleum, or
any other type of good floor. But it
is ideal for the soft wood floor that
spots and mars easily and never
looks quite clean, or for the lino-
leum whose pattern is worn off in
traffic strips and looks dowdy no
matter how often it Is scrubbed.
Then place ON your new painted
floor washable rag rugs wherever
they get the most wear. These may
be dunked in the washing machine
or sent to the laundry when soiled
and give to the modern laboratory
kitchen that comfortable look which
has not been seen since grand
mothers day.
Then, to top it all of, decorate
the pantry shelves with bright
ruffled edgings, give all the gadgets
and wooden-handled utensils a new
coat Of paint-and from this bright
vantage point you are ready to take
off into another season.

in cheesecloth and tie firmly. Use
an oblong cooking utensil so the
fish may lie out straight and COM
Portable. Cover him with warm
water, a lemon sliced thin, with peel
left on, four or five bay leaves, an
onion in slices, couple of sliced
carrots, few pinches of thyme, salt

until done-about half an hour to
40 minutes Remove carefully from
the pan, take off the cloth and
serve on hot platter, well gar
nished with parsley and water
cress, with the hollandaise in a
separate dish.
Hollandaise is either a joy or a
headache. The headache comes
from letting the sauce get too hot
and get fat separation. So start
out with the lower pan of the
double boiler supplied with hot
but not boiling-water. For eight
beat the yolks of four eggs and pour
into the upper pan of the boiler.
Then drop in, bit by bit, half a
pound of butter, or margarine, STIR

little salt. AS the sauce thickens
to the consistency of mayonnaise
mix in the juice of a lemon. Now
it is ready, but to serve with boiled
fish 1t is nice to add few chopped
capers, some minced olive meats
and few chopped mushrooms. In
peacetimes some chopped trufies
from France were important.
If there is any fish left over let it
get well chilled and serve at.another
meal with mayonnaise dressing.

It's the little things that count
and in the middle of the hurly burly
that is our present existence a whiff
Of the pleasant past may be most
refreshing! And observing the old
custom is one of the best ways to
gain this "revitalizer."
This year St. Patrick's Day falls
on a Friday, which may mean that
many of you will wish to serve the
traditional ham on Thursday or Sat-
urday. In any event, whichever day
you select, be sure to dress up the
main dish with appropriately shaped
garnishes and relishes. Green car

feeling that you have had on other

your table and your menu express

But if you feel that you would be
jealous of it and hate it, don't bring

Dear Miss Dix: am widow with
three small children. In order to
fit myself to support them I de-
cided to take stenographic course,
but I did not seem to be able to
learn as I should, so 7 got a job
doing housework. The people am
working for are lovely to me, but
I cannot have my babies with me
They are with different relatives
and get good care and I see them
every week. But do you think il
would be better for me to go back
and try to finish my business
course or stick to the housework?
MRS. II.
Answer think it would be bet
ter for you to stick to the house
work, as that is what you know how
to do and like to do. 1t takes very
nimble fingers, as we'll as a nimble
brain, to become a good stenog-
rapher, and doubt If any woman
Of your age could acquire the skill
to do it. Besides, you would have
to get very large salary, very much
more than most stenographers earn
to enable you to make enough
money to support your children.
My advice to you would be to try
to learn how to be a crackerjack
cook and manager, so that you can
start boarding house. In that
way you could have your children
with you.

who appeared in The Five Sulli-

making an aviation film for the
air corps.
"Tm playing n role that 1
would like % have in real life,'
Jack SAYS, "but the air corps

Jack first starred on the foot

eSted in the theater while studying
