, What Shall We Have
for Dinner?
Sometimes let's dmit it we get
so tired of wondering what to have
for d:nner. We get especially tired
during the first - warm spell, when
. eyeryone's appetite is a- bit jaded, and
the busy tired housewife1! is equally
- jaded, only her job is to go ahead and
forget herself to keen, -her family well
and happy.
She knows health--f& so important
and she does want to do the best
possible for her John and the chil
dren; but she doesn't have time to
keep tip with the new food ideas (at
least she thinks she hasn't) and all
she can possibly manage is to keep
the bills down somewhere near the
amount they used: to be and learn
how to vie the new flours. 1
, What Every Dinner Ought to Include.
Because dinner V the main meal
ia the . home of most city dwellers,
. that meal should be planned with es-
- pecial care. Many people get half
. the food value of the day in the one
meal. If it does not contain the right
things that make for health, it is a
ft serious matter , Any dinner, no mat-
Jter how simple, should contain one
disli that is mainly body-building.
,The body-building foods include
meat, eggs, fish, milk, cheese, dried
peas and beans Any dinner should
contain alo some body-regulating
food, snch as fruits or green vege
tables. Fortunately the season is ap
nroaehins when fruits and vegetables
.are the regular rule on every dinner
table.
In recent years, nutrition experts
are telling us that we require some
raw foods in the diet. This raw food
mafr be fruit or vegetable; and while
cooked fruits : and -vegetables will
answer the purpose of body-regulat-t
ing, only the uncooked will satisfy
this very important and little under-
Stood need. Uncooked milk will
answer this same need.
What We Want a Dinner to Include.
No matter how "scientific" a din-
ner may be, unless we like it, it will
not satisfy our needs in the highest
degree. But it is equally true that we
do not need to; indulge our food likes
and dislikes to the extent that most
sf us do.
There is a great deal in mental atti
tude toward food. A few things,
however, will always add to (he en
joyment of a meaL Dinners " should
: present variety from day to day, and
variety within the meal. Any careful
housewife will have the outline (per
haps the details also) of her menus
planned ahead of time, and then she
does not "happen" to have the same
foods twrTdays in succession or even
a day apart.
Variety within the meal means no
repetition of similar flavors or tex
tures. We do not want strawberries

2J36J65 Mothers Enlist
in Baby-Saving Campaign
Thirty-four states have asked for
2,336,565 of the weighing and meas
uring cards to be used in the baby
saving campaign with which the be
ginning of the. children's year haa
been celebrated. This means that
more than 2,000,000 mothers will strip,
weigh and measure their babies 1 and
. write the. resulting figures On a card
so that the information may be used
td safeguard the health of children in
all parts of the country.
Dr. Jessica B. Peixotto, head of the
department of child welfare of the
woman's committee of the Council
, for NationaUPefense reports that 932
I working programs have been asked
" for by chairmen of local committees,
together with 15,623 copies of leaflet
; No. 1, entitled, "Save 100,000 Ba
bies, and 19,533 copifs of leaflet
No.- 2, which gives directions about
weighing and measuring.
Wheatlessness at Dinner
"No croutons, macaroni or spaghetti
In soup. Use barley, tapioca, sago,
peas, beans or eat with it wheatless
and ryeless wafers- , ,
No bread. Double aervlngi of po
f tatoes or two kinds of potatoes
(sweet ,and white) or potatoes and
, hominy or potatoes and rice.
Crackers (if any), wheatless and
ryeless. Use rice flour, corn flour,
cornmeal, oatmeal, i .. ,
. Pie, crusts of corn flour, barley
flour, cornmeal, oatmeal Other
wheatless desserts, such as tapioca
puddings, rice puddings gelatin
. dishes, frozen .desserts, custards,
blanc manges, fruit compotes, fruit
sponges, potato, flour desserts,
steamed puddings of cornmeal and
barley, baked, puddings of cornmeal
. and barley wheatless cakes.

Soap is almost unobtainable in oc
cupied Belgium, and the housewives
are accordingly seeking possible sub
stitutes. To them a chemist, through
the medium of a Brussels newspaper,
" gives this advice: "Pour the hot water
in which peeled potatoes have been
'boiled over the Jinen to be washed.
.' Allow it to soak until the following
day, then rub it as you would in a
.. lather, but without adding soap or
anything else. The linen will come
out of the tub perfectly white.

Many housewives make the mistake
of thinking that they can secure sat-
isiaciory menus oniy oy inciuuwg
many things at one meal. No greater
mistake could be made, because the
more things you have at one-time,
the fewer different foodsyou have

The three "dinners given below are
all equally satisfactory .from the
standards suggested in the foregoing
paragraphs, but one is built of three
dishes, the next of four and the third
of five dishes. It is easy to see how
much the housewife can save herself
if she will serve simple meals to a
family that she has trained to appre-
uiic simplicity in toou.

Girls Men Like
Sweet Unaffected Girl Wins
Out ' in Long Ruji.
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
Masculine sincerity seems to be at
stake 1 )
Any number of my girls have writ
ten to me recently and begged me to
reconcile .the sweet, modest, home
loving girl men profess to admire with
the gay and giddy creature on whom
they bestow their attentions. Here is
a little letter from an anxious maiden
which fairly duplicates dozens of
other puzzled girls:
"Dear Miss Fairfax: Are men just
a lot ot talk or wnatf Recently an ac
quaintance of mine said that he didn't
like a? girl to use even powder. That
he had very little use' for a girl who
flirted ana tnat ne, even he man
cared little or nothing for chance ac
quaintances. But when I introduced
him to my friends Sweet refined
girls -he almost ignored them. And he
has been seen out with girls he would
hardly meet in -his own circles arrd
yet has seemed very devoted to these
questionable looking, made-up crea
tures. How do you account for it?"
If I could entirely account for this
situation all the peculiarities of hu
man nature would be revealed to me.
There are explanations of our own
inconsistencies, but they do not gloss
over the fact that inconsistent we hu
mans are. Men do like sweet, re
fined, natural srirls and when they
are thinking about it seriously and
sanely, their good judgment makes
them realize that they not only like
K.. "c, ...... c:,i:-:.'' .-A
"Miss Modesty" to "Paint and Pow
der."
So much for sane, human judg
ment.
We all know the story of the man
who swore off drinking, marched
proudly and bravely by three glitter
ing saloons and then took himself
into the fourth to treat himself for
the strength of character he had just
shown.
Human beings are like that. Men
like modest, refined girls, but they
have a "hankering" for the forbid
den trfe corn-silk cigarettes they
smoked behind the haystack, in their
teens, the circus they sneaked off to
when supposed to be doing the
chores, the runaway trip to the pool
parlors on prayer meeting nights!
The spirit of adventure, the desire
for change, curiosity jbout the for
bidden all these make it possible
logical even for men to prate of i
their high ideals and then gallivant
off after that which is most complete
ly unrelated to the ideals of their
preachings.
Men philander about with pretty
painted dolls. Some weaklings marry
them. But real men may go wander
ing off after glitter and tinsel for a
while, and yet insist on purchasing
sterling silver for the home.
When the sweet, fine girl gets
desperate aboub the good times little
painted ladies are having she daubs
an unbecoming flicker of rouge on
her cheeks, brushes back her silky
eyelashes with ugly, unbecoming black
paint, coarsens her pink lips into an
ugly red and makes herself into an
imitation of the sort of girls who
seems to be likes by some of her men
friends.
And the net results are a ruined
complexion, a heartache or two and
less popularity than ever. It doesn't
pay to compete with experts in a
field where they have ail the data
and you know nothing. It doesn't
pay , to make yourself over into a
still cheaper imitation of something
that was cheap in its original form.
Perhaps some day men will be
sufficiently sure of . themselves and'
sufficiently impressed by the fine
qualities in women so that paint and
tawdriness will always fail to appeal
to them. In the meantime it pays
to remember that a man may amuse
himself with a bit of tinsel but that

Established under the ausoices o

nurses at Vassar college will be de
signed to prepare women to fill the
gaps in the nursing.profession left by
the drafting of American nurses for

.' The grounds, buildinirs and equip

government for use during the sum
mer to train students in the theory of
nursing, lhe Red Cross accepted the
offer on behalf of the government, and
appropriated from its general fund
the sum of $75,000 to cover the operat
ing expenses of the school.
The course of study is belnsr ar
ranged by the experts of the national
emergency nursing committee of the
Council of National Defense. The

at once by practical hospital experi
ence for the students, the immediate
effect of which will be the release of
registered nurses for service abroad.
Many well-known hospitals have
agreed to readjust their programs of
training to receive training camp
groups of 10 to 50 students: These
women will be permitted to complete
their courses and receive the degree of
registered nurse in the shortest pos
sible time.
Only college women of sound health
who have graduated during the last
