BOARDING..

(Front Mrs. r. M, W1Shington.)
Being a Gold Star Mother, ap-
preciated the letter of Mrs.
c. B. D., of Chevy Chase more
than she will ever know, for
too. was greatly impressed by the
cartoon in The Star on boarding.
I had begun to feel that most
people must go through the hor-
ror Of losing a dear one on the
battlefield in order to make them
realize the harm they are doing
themselves and their country by
unnecessary boarding.
II every one would only stop to
think, that greed has been the
main course of all wars. So lets
look long at that picture and
stop boarding, and thank God that
we still have such a wonderful
place as America in which to live.
Thanks again, Mrs. C. B. D.

BOOK ON CHILD FEEDING?
(From Mrs. D. E. O., Siluer SprinoJ
Would any of the readers hap
pen to know where I could find
copy of "All About Feeding Chill
dren," by Milton j. E. Sem and
Phyllis K. Newell, published by
Doubleday Doran Co., Garden
City. N. Y, 1914, which DR.. Ben
jamin Spock refers to in his Won
derful baby book? It apparently
gives advice on planning, pre-
pairing and serving children's
meals. I have tried to obtain a
copy at various bookstores and
even wrote. to Doubleday Doran,
but it is out of print. As I am
a working mother, my little girl,
being 16 months, I am certain
the book would be a wonderful
help to me in f1xng her meals and
giving me new ideas. Lately, it
has become a problem as to get
ting her to eat and thinking of
different ways to fix her food, etc.
ANSWERS TO QUERIES.
(Fron, Mrs. c. A. H., Vienna.)
In answer to the lady wishing to
make colored "logs" out of rolled
newspapers. I haven't tried this
as yet but it came originally form
r. G. H.
Use a 5-gallon crock. Dissolve
4 pounds copper sulfate and 3
pounds rock salt in l gallon of
water. Wrap old newspapers tight
and tie, soak in solution and dry
well.
To Mrs. E. A. B., Bristow. When
We were on the farm we tired of
cottage cheese too, although we
are very fond of it. I sent to
Junket Folks for their cheese
making booklet. AS I remember
it gave the making of molds and
a variety of home made cheeses.
I ran across this booklet couple
weeks ago in cleaning the attic
but can't locate it right now. If
you have no luck through cor
respondence with the Junket peo-
pie I'm quite certain can locate
mine for you. Don't think I
CIlreW IL away.
AS for nail biting: Our oldest
daughter was able to tell time
before she ever entered school
and we've just been waiting for
her to become older and more
responsible to give her watch
as a birthday or Christmas gift.
(She, of course, was aware of our
intentions) Seems she began nail
biting in first grade and this sum-
mer promised her a watch for
her 9th birthday this fall If she
had a pretty set of flngernails
by then. She stopped almost
overnight and went along fine for
six weeks and then nibbled them
again. With encouragement, 7
believe she'll earn her much-de-
sired watch-we hope!
We have canner-type pres
sure cooker beginning with B.
I've cooked quantities in it such
as L. K. B. of Chevy Chase, with
success. My family-size pressure
cooker beginning with P cooks
everything perfectly in specified
time except for potatoes, which
usually allow a couple extra
minutes. This is no doubt due
to size variation. Do you meas
ure u cup water accurately and,
most important. get steady,
strong flow of steam through top
spout before placing your pres
sure gauge? Hope this is of some
help.
For the lady inquiring of near
by colleges. One in Takoma Park.
Md, coed may live on cam.
pus, or off. Carries most every
line of college work and is State
accredited. A majority of the
students work a great deal of their
way while taking school work.
This is parochial, but if space is
available, any one who abides by
the schools standards is welcome.
. RECIPE BOOK.
(From E. M, BetheSdG)
M. c. S., Alexandria might con-
tact the Government Printing Of
fee in her effort to obtain Aunt
Sammy's Radio Recipe Book re-
vised in 1881 if she hasn't already
done so. The f1yleaf of my copy
has notation that it is for sale
by the Superintendent of Docu-
ments, Washington, D. c., for Is
cents. but of course, after all these
years it may be out of print. If
this fails, the Bureau of Human
Nutrition and Home Economics
at the Department of Agriculture
might have some suggestion.
