THE ETERNAL QUESTION.
Three meak a day la the endless
chain that encircles the housekeeper
with the never-ending problem of what
to have to eat
It la not so much the dally duty
which disheartens and weighs upon
her; but the thought of three meals
a day through the years to come
smothers her with tholr accumulated
weight The old table of the clock
which refused to work because it had
to tick, so many times a day, teaches
us a deep lesson; the clock was only
required to tick one tick at a time.
We need not bear the burdens ot the
future, nor give needless thought to
tho days to come. "Sufficient unto the
day Is the evil thereof."
One of the things to be most thank
ful for Is a good appetite, which usu
ally goes with a healthy body. Any
body who finds it necessary to cater
to a finicky, fussy appctlto certainly
needs sympathy,, for thcro Is nothing
more discouraging to the author ot a
good meal han tho hirdllke habit ot
turning over food and playing with it
It is to be regretted that the best
Intentloned people in the world often
have no appetite, and they must be
fed and cared for Just as well as those
who can digest shingle nails.
We must remember to appeal to the
eye in preparing dlshos and arranging
the table. If the. eye is pleased the
palate usually responds, and things
which taste good will bo better di
gested nnd will consequently better
build up the body and repair waste?
We learn that a mixed diet Is not
only pleasanter but actually neces
sary for our best, as Is proven by the
variety of foods that a wise Provt
denco provides for us.
Oily fish and pork are accompanied
with lemon and apple. eauce, not only
because it appealB to the taste,, but be
cause the oil needs tho acid to aid
in Its digestion. Wo find that lamb
served with mint sauce, roast gooso
with onloua and sage are not combina
tions following a fancy, but because
it wns discovered that the richness of
these foods la modified by tho sauces.
So It Is well to romember that it Is
not wise1 to neglect these accessories
when eery Ing such foods. .

THE WHOLESOME TOMATO.
The tomato la Buch an appetizing
fruit vegetable. If one could call it
so, also it has the reputation of being .
a good tonic for the liver. "When one
finds the skin producing brown liver

liver a Jog. Tomatoes may be put

Ono good housewife makes catsup
as she needs it by adding tho spices

For preserving tomatoes the small
yellow one is the most satisfactory,
adding lemon in slices, removing the
seeds. Weigh the fruit and add to a
pound ot (ho tomatoes three-quarters
ot a pound of sugar, 'cooking slowly
until the tomatoes look transparent
One cause for failure in . canning
tomatoes is that often they are over
ripe. Perfectly sound, woll ripened to
matoes if put up in air tight jars will
keep for Beveral years.
A dozen well-cared for tomato plants
will produce enough fruit tp -supply the
table And have some to put up, besides
having plenty of green ones for pick
ling and chow-chow after the frost
comes.

Peel and chop twenty-four largo ripe

of vinegar; cook slowly ono hour.
