Of nil our food, cheese Is the most compact and concentrated. It con tains no connect ive tissue, bone or other wnste so that a pound of cheese Is without waste. , 1 1 Is highly nutritive, 1 containing twice j as much food -value per pound ns meat, and is much ( more economical to buy. Cheese has been called hard to di gest, because being rich it slips down with little mnstication and being In hard lumps In tho stomach does often cause distress. This same compact ness which gives us such vnluablo food In small compass, mnkes it harder of digestion unless It is eaten with coarse food, such as dry crackers or vege tables which need good mastlcntion. Other meat substitutes which will lend variety to the diet are whole wheat, dried beans, peas and lentils, peanuts, wnlnuts, pecans, eggs, but ter, cream, olive oil, milk, macaroni, and rice. Dried fruits as well as fresh are indispensable in a well balanced diet. These foods in various forms and In combinations with others will give a sufficient variety. Children, when teething and suffer ing with swollen gums, will bo great ly refreshed by cool fruit juice or scraped apple. A worrying baby Is often suffering for frequent drinks of pure, cool water. It Is well to remem ber that young children and animals cannot tell us what they need, and often suffer because of tho careless ness of those who should be respons ible. Foods which must be denied chll dien should not bo placed temptingly before them n strong reason for having tho children eat alone. Their food should bo palatable and attract ively served. Table manners may be learned very early which will never hnve to ho relearned. Currants nnd raisins may bo elenned by rubbing them with flour, then shake it off to remove all dust. To get tho flavor of orange for ten, snueo or for any other dish, rub a cube of sugar over tho rind to absorb tho esssentlal oil. One orange will furnish flavor for two or three cubes. Drop tho yolks of eggs left over In to a cup nnd cover with cold wnter. If the yolks are unbroken they will keep several days. Always let tho water run a minute from pipes that have held wnter over night or for several hours. Uod glvo us moro of the peoplo who sot nhuut definitely and nctlvelj to "iiltlvato the hnblt of happiness; poo plo tho corners of whoso mouths nro turned chronically up. not down; peo plo who are looking for Inspiration and catling forth tho bhst from nil. U. W. Trine. EVERY DAY Hff.LPS. A pinch of (-renin of tartar In fudgt or frosting will prevent sugaring and will innke It nice and creamy. The whiten will come off oranges If held under cold water and scraped. Cover poached eggs Just n minute before serving to give them the pretty pink, glazed look. Water ferns at lenst once a week with cold coffee or tea; It will make them very luxuriant. Add n little chopped cabbage and apple to the ordinary potato salnd lo Rive It a little unusual flavor. Canned pineapple juk-o cooked with sago or tnploea and served with cienm, using a garnish of chopped pineapple, makes a most dainty des sert. A Mnnll amount of preserves stirred into cake crumbs and flavored with n drop of rose, garnished with whipped cream, makes another easy and good dcsscrl. For a delicious layer cake filling lake one cupful of maple sirup and stir thick with powdered sugar, add nuts to the lining and use the plain mixture for the top. One new thing a day is tho rule for the evening meal conversation. End! contributes something of interest, making the gathering a cheery, happy event. When running sash window cur tains on rods which are not smooth at the ends, use nn old glove linger over the rod. When cooking rice, save enough to mnkc griddle cakes for breakfast. Add one cupful of rice to the batter. Use some for supper or luncheon dish with meat and tomato. When tying a package and you havo no one to put a linger on the string to hold it, slip the end you arc tying twice under the string; the knot will not slip while you finish tying it. . Halves of pears and peaches with chopped nuts and any liked salad dressing mnke delicious and quickly made salads. French zinc, thinned with boiled oil to make it of tho right consistency, Is a much finer white paint than nny made of white lead, goes farther, and has a much finer gloss. Wo can bo what wo will bo but only by holding ourselves to consistent and well calculated thought nnd action. Sheldon .Lcavett. FOOD FOR THE FAMILY.

Their products nnk with those of the maker of tail ored suits and shoes; at least no country outclasses us In these arti cles; comparisons show that we ex rel In them; keeping In mind the es sentials of good taste, our designers have revealed inexhaustible ingenu ity In making practical as well as pic turesque things for children of all ages, from babyhood up. For girls from nine to fifteen there are frocks that make ono wonder thnt these years were ever designated "tho dlfllcult age." It takes the cultivated sense of the professional to fashion ilothcs that make us forgot those terms tnd professionals succeed In doing Just 'Ids. They translate and emphnslzo whatever of charm nature has he- Something New JUST how much nul just how little ono requires in rlu- waj of new clothes for the coming summer Is a matter that must he decided by each Individual for herself. Women feel that they are being "held up" on the prices of some things nnd, even when quite ablu to pay for anything they want, they object to playing into the hands of profiteers. Therefore many women, especially among those who have always had money and who un derstand values, are leaving It to the newly prosperous to buy extravagantly rich and high-priced npparel, content ing themselves with simpler nnd less costly things. They are selecting prac tical frocks that will serve a variety of purposes and buying only wlint they actunlly need which Is more or less according to clrcumslnnces. Lovely washable dresses of lino cottons, that will continue to look fresh as long ns they last, simple taffetu frocks, dura ble satins and reliable woolens, attract them. Kvery wniiian knows how practical j stowed upon tne growing child at any nge and they make frocks that havo their own charm to lend to young wear ers. For the sake of economy many moth ers make their children's outfits nt home. They need not be worried In the matter of designing these clothes; all they need do Is buy materials and patterns nnd copy what professionals have placed In the shops and pictured In the magnzincs. In the picture above there Is shown a plain chamhruy dress for u girl from eight lo thirteen, or there nbout, which Is above criticism. Tucks In cross bar and straight lines, nnd small pearl buttons servo to decorate It and It luts n small collar of white' organdie. Oho cannot do better than to copy It ex actly, for with these simple means Its designer has mnde n masterpiece. io Silk Frocks ii luciiy lalTeia frock is and that she will not grow tired of ono that has M.vle as Its chief asset.

The dress would ho pretty In dark blue nnd tan or beige might take the plnco of white In Its development. BILLY BUGLER AGAIN. "I havo been told I could talk n lit tle more to tho hoys nnd girls and tell them more of my happy life. So I've called my story 'Billy Bugler Again,' meaning Billy Bugler Is talking again. "Do you know something I like to do, hoys nnd girls? I like to see my master shave 1 I have been told that I mustn't tulk then or suddenly hark, for my master must bo very careful when ho Is shaving. "So I sit quietly nearby and watch him with my eyes wide open. First ho puts such funny soapy stuff nil over him nutl then ho takes it nil off I One would think he enjoyed It because ho puts It on for no other renson than to take It off again nnd evidently to have the pleasure of having It there Just for a little while. "I'd rather watch my mnster shave than play ball. That mny seem strange to you. but It Is perfectly true. And my mnster likes to have me nround when ho Is shaving. He says I know how to behave. "Well, you can Imagine that I never misbehave when I know ho feels that way nbout me. It's n good thing to be praised up once In n while. It mnkes n dog want to live up to thnt praise. "Tho renson I'm nice Is because I'vo nice, kind, gentle people nbout me. They're not always saying: 'Get that horrid dog out of the wny.' If they did I would probably be a horrid dog. I greatly fear such would be the case. "But I needn't think of such n thing. For I'm the happiest Boston Bull I do believe in nil tho world. "I must tell you how I enme to my missy. She had said she wanted a dog nnd my pinster had promised to get her one. He got me not because I was beautiful, but because I looked Fad and mournful, nnd my coat was not In good condition, nnd my eyes were run ning with a cold I had. "It's not everyone who would tnke a dog like thnt nnd innke him happy. They'd rather tnke a beautiful dog and not try to make n creature happy who was unhappy and ugly. "Well, my master took mo home. My missy was surprised to see me be cause she had expected a beautiful "Pleaoe Love Me." dog. Well, I could feel how she felt. I was ashamed of myself, but It hadn't been my fault. "She was very good to me, and n little whllo nfter my dinner she gavo mo a bath. "As she was drying me I looked at her out of my eyes, which I Jmnglno were very sad, and I tried to tell' her with my eyes that I was sorry I wasn't moro beautiful. I put my paws on her lap and I snld, as well as I could: 'Dear Missy, pleaso love me.' She says she did from thnt day to this, for I showed her I loved her and thnt I was happy. That was four years ago, and ns the days go on I grow happier and hnppler. "I do tricks, such as rolling over nnd sitting up In what my missy says Is a very dignified way. It means dis tinguished and mngnincent and fine, she says! I hope those words menu moro to you than they do to me. But still I'm getting so there nren't so many words my missy and master use which I don't understand. "My missy tells mo In n low volco that there Is n drink of wnter for me 'In the pantry nnd off I go for the drink of water. She doesn't have to scream nt me. "I can Jump through her arms, too, when she makes them in the shape of n hoop. "And my nnme 1 was called Billy at first. It was the name my master gave me when he got mo I think to show me he felt I was manly and not such a horrid looking little pup as I appeared. And then as they loved mo so they wanted me to feel like one of the family, and they added tho nnmo of Bugler, for my mnster and missy nre known ns Mr. nnd Mrs. Bugler, you know. It's Just their nnmoj'lt doesn't mean they blow bugles or any thing llko thnt. "I think It's n lovely name, nnd that Billy Bugler Is tho most honorable nnmo a dog ever had. I shall always try to live up to It nnd here's a happy secret my muster nnd my missy lovo me as much as I lovo them" The Test "I hope my chickens do not worry you by coming Into your garden." "Oh, not nt nil. They pny mo a compliment by showing mo It cornea up to the scratch." TOO MUCH COLOR. "Your nnrratlvo It too highly col ored," remnrked tho editor, returning the bulky manuscript. "In what wny?" Inquired the disap pointed author. "Why," replied the editor, "In tho very first chapter you make tho old man turn purple with rage, the villain turn green with envy, the hero turn white with nnger, the heroine turn red with confusion, nnd the coachman turn blue with the cold." London Tlt-Blts. ONWARD AND UPWARDS. "What lias becomo of tho man who usod to rock tho boat?" "Ho hns progressed with tho times. Ho Is not satisfied now unloss he is mussing up tho equilibrium of an noroplane." Eating or Sleeping.. A man Is often like a horse, Wo've hoard somo people any: But Biiroly both nro happy when It's ttmo to hit tho hay. Consldcratencss Considered. 'Tlnvo I not been n considerate wife?" sho asked, reproachfully. "Considerate 1" ho exclaimed bitterly, "In what way?" "lias there ever been a night when you were out Into that I haven't left tho light burning for you?" "And you cull thnt being considerate? You have but who pays tho bills?" The Big Audience. "Haven't you time to go homo nnd make a few speeches?" "Yes," replied Senntor Sorghum. "What I'm In doubt about Is whether I'll have tlmo to listen to nil tho speeches they're getting ready to make to me." Painful Topic. "I'm afraid Miss Soreleaf did Lot en Joy the party." "Indeed?" "An old friend of hers was mong i he guests, n lady who has three gr,nvn children. Sho ljcpt referring lo tho time when sho nnd Miss Soreleaf were girls together." Disadvantages. "Hero's a tribe In Africa, this article says, where tho women hiivo to speak a different inngungo from their husbands." "Time's all right when they nsk their hushnnd's for money, but how about It when their husbnnds want to tell them to hold their tongues?" Sidetracked Into Prominence. "How did you como to be lender of the vlllago choir? You never could sing on the key." "That's the reason. They made mo leader so that I wouldn't havo nny ex cuse for trying to sing." A VERY PRESENT HELP "It's when a man is m troublo .hat ho realizes tho valuo of a wlfo." "Suro! Ho enn put all his prop erty In hor nnmo." Something Cheap. Tho price of everything's so dear It makes one almost weep; Dut ono thing still remains tho same That'a talk as usual cheap! One Better.
