RABBITS
From Mrs. L. Y, Vienn1.)

To Mrs. 7. E. G., washington:
In regard to your inquiry !
would suggest that you get de-
tailed information on raising rab-
bits from either Government
pamphlet or better still the book
let which you can get with a
coupon in a rabbit food bag. I
have found it to be the best.
would suggest that you keep
your rabbits in cages within a
building unless your yard is
fenced because stray dog can
put you out of business in one
night. I don't think you can
build a dog-proof coop once they
get their minds set. My friends
and I have lost many beautiful
and expensive rabbits that way.
Also. in this climate rabbits get
sun stroke easily.
AS for selling the pelts, we have
always been satisfied with the
Vandeweghe Trading Corp, al
West Twenty-eighth street. New
York !, N. Y. They will send you
information on skinning and car
ing for the pelts. I wish you luck
In your venture.

WhyGroW
Old?
by Josephine iowmon

Readers often ask about what
kind Of rinse to have following a
shampoo. I am not thinking of
those which color the hair or
cover gray hair today. but of the
vinegar rinse.
The letter before me asks, Are
vinegar rinses injurious to the
hair or scalp? Should a clear
water rinse follow the vinegar
rinse or should the vinegar rinse
be left on? Will a vinegar rinse
bleach dark hair? Do you recon-
mend vinegar rinses?"
Yes, I do. The vinegar rinse
should be left on for a few
moments and then rinsed off well
with water. It will not bleach but
does give the hair highlights be-
cause it takes every bit of the
soap of the hair and scalp.
Besides, one authority says:
MANY women have lemon or
vinegar rinses. Every woman has
her own idea of what such rinse
accomplishes. One will say it re-
moves any soap which may not
have been removed by the warm.
clear water rinse. Another in
sists it reduces the greasiness of
her scalp. A third believes it
brightens her hair. Undoubtedly
the vinegar or lemon rinse does
all of these things for the hair
and scalp. Further. the acidity
Of the vinegar or lemon rinse re-
stores the normal acidity of the
adult scalp after the alkaline
wash with a soap shampoo"
c"Your Hair" - Author, Herman
Goodman. M. D., publisher. Hal
cyon House, Garden City, N. ".
So, you can use the lemon or
vinegar rinse with safety and
with fine results in both increased
attractiveness and increased scalp
health.

Recipe Roundup
Braised Celery

-
The French have way Of cook
ing celery that makes it SOME
THING SPECIAL in the way OF
food. They braise the stalks In
stock or boullion and serve them
with game or other strongly
favored meats.
To braise celery, cut off the out
side leaves and remove the large,
coarse stalks. Wash and scrape
the stalks lightly. Now parboil
them in boiling water for is min
utes, and then cool them under
cold running water, opening the
stalks a bit SO the water can get
through. to crisp them nicely.
Put a sliced onion, a sliced car
rot, q bay leaf and a few minced
celery leaves in pan with lard or
bacon drippings. Add the celery
stalks, and enough stock or beef
boullion-canned will do-to cover.
Put some strips Of salt pork or
bacon on top. Bring to a boil,
and then let simmer for almost
one hour
Drain the stalks, thicken the
remaining liquid with a little
blended flour and butter and serve
the stalks whole. with the sauce,
strained, poured over them. If
YOU wish, you may strengthen the
sauce with meat extract or a beef
cube before serving.

"John, come sit with me q spell"

Sara, go wash your hands now.
It is almost dinnertime and your
father will soon be home. Good
ness, I haven't the table set. and
1t is almost time. I wonder if the
boy brought the butter? That boy
is the most forgetful-Sara. did
you do as told you?" This over
her shoulder as mother hustled
out of the room toward the
Kitchen.
Little Sara, deep in her CONVEX
sation with Raggedy Ann and Blue
Boy, had looked up. though the
talk was not intended for her con-
sideration and went on persuading
Raggedy Ann to tell Blue Boy q
story.
Presently m>.her returned, saw
Sara still on the rug where she
left her and demanded to know
why she had not obeyed her. She
threatened her with a spanking
and telling Daddy what bad girl
she had been, disobeying mother.
Sara was not too much to blame.
Her mother had talked right along
so that Sara could not tell what
was intended for her and what was
not. Therefore she took the easiest
way and stayed comfortably as
she was.
When obedience is required, the
first move is to get and hold the
child's attention. Look at him and
call his name and wait until he
looks at you with interest in his
face. When you have caught his
attention. it is time to tell him
what you want him to do. Speak
slowly and clearly. Say as few
words as possible. Fewness is most
important.
Little children are only begin
ming to understand words. They
do not as yet distinguish them all
# you have ever, in trying to learn
a foreign language. learned about
fifty words, and then had some
one who spoke the language
fluently pour it on your ears in a
flood, you have. an idea OF what
a stream of words means to q
child learning to talk.
Get the child's full attention.
Speak slowly and clearly. Say what
you have to say in as few words as
possible. Make certain he has
understood. Then let him go. un-
aided, to perform his mission.
This will not solve every prob
lem involving obedience, but it
will prevent many of them from
arising. Even older children are
confused by a stream of directions
poured on their half-deaf ears,
as they think Of one thing while
listening to another.
BY getting the child's whole at
tention. by telling him what is
required in a few clear words, by
making certain he understands, we
clear the road for obedience and
usually get it intellectually. Get
attention first.

.arrOw Balls

A friend of ours. new to the
cooking game, asked the other
day how one made the luscious
marrow balls so often seen in
clear soups prepared by profess
sional chefs. The main thing to
remember in making the marrow
balls is to go easy on the bread
crumbs. Too many will make the
balls hard and tough.
Go to the butcher and get him
to saw you a big bone, or maybe
two of them, in three sections.
Scoop out the marrow from the
center; that from two bones
should amount to about y a
cup. Work the marrow with a
fork until it becomes smooth,
and then add to it one beaten
egg. a pinch of salt, a little pars-
ley minced as fine as possible,
and a generous sprinkling Of nut
meg.
Now add just enough bread
crumbs to make the mixture hold
its shape when nodded into little
balls. Drop these into the boil
ing soup and let them cook until
they rise to the surface OF their
own accord. That will mean they
are done.

No woman can display her IN

to realize from teenage to seventy

of untidy personal qualities or de-
lection. Those qualities aren't of
much help to anyone these days.
But a woman who can sit down

is . woman who makes a good

There isn't one among us who

one with smiling eyes-who knows

ENTERTAINING TEEN-AGERS.

from Mrs. E. T., BladensburgJ
To Mrs. M. Mel. Landover:
Congratulations on having pastor
who is willing to find the extra
time for the teen-agers.
This is the type of work I love
and have always been deeply in
terested in. Why not have teen
ayers meet on a weekday evening
and print the church bulletins?
Gather up all used greeting cards
and make folders to give to the
hospitals. If the words are cut off
the cards they make pretty books
for anytime during the year. Use
puzzles and comics for inside of
books to help make them interest
ing for children. For adults, put
in a few sheets Of plain paper
and a small pencil to make notes.
The books are best made about
4x6 as they are easy for the pa
tlent to handle.
Why not have them taking turns
furnishing the refreshments and
serving them and use the dues to
buy soft wood and make pins,
lamps, candlesticks, even toys?
These items have a ready market.
They could also make dolls, pin
cushions and the list is endless :.
after one idea Is worked out an
other will pop up and they will
have more projects than they can
handle.
But please do not forget the
spiritual part of the whole pro-
ceedings.
I shall be more than happy to
help you II you will call on me
but with your pastors able help
and a few ideas as a starter your
troubles are ended without further
help.
Another idea is to gather all
broken records and when they
have enough heat them and shape
into ash trays or dishes.
