Planning Your
Sundays
By LORETTO C. LYNCH.
"Come over and see us Sunday
afternoon," said the new little bride
to Mrs, Coffee, whom the fonner'i
mother had known when she was a
young woman back in the small
country town. '
Mrs. Coffee wanted to go. For
who is too old to enjoy seeing the
brand new little home of a brand
new little bride? But Mrs. Coffee
hesitated. Then she began to speak.
"Ask me to go out any day but
Sunday. Really I work harder on
Sunday than on any other day in
the week. You see, the whole fam
ily is home Sunday. And by the
time I have roasted the meat and
prepared all the vegetables and des
serj and set the table it is after 1
o'clock. Then it takes nie until 4
to wash up and get everything put
away. By that time it is almost time
to begin to get supper ready, with
its incident cleaning up. I tell you.
I am getting on in years and it is al
most Tuesday before I am really
rested up after Sunday."
What a dreadful state of affairs.
Sunday the day set aside as the day
of rest. And the sad part of it is
that the family have never stopped
to realire what a burden Sunday is
to the mother, whose health and
happiness every family have at heart.
For the average work-a-day fam
ily Sunday is the one day of the
week when they all meet together
and dine leisurely and chat. Then,
what is the housewife to do so that
she does not have to admit that she
works harder on Sunday than on any
other day of the week? She has got
to plan carefully and she has got to

. The housewife who would enjoy
Sunday must plan most carefully.
Suppose she decides on a soup,
roast, two vegetables, a simple des
sert and a drink. . The ingredients
necessary for the preparation of
each dish should be carefully noted.
If the recipe from which you make
your soup calls for- "a bit of bay
leaf," be quite sure you have it on
hand. In this way you can make
out a worth-while market list.
Soup can be prepared on Satur
day, cooled and poured into covered
jars and stored in the refrigerator.
The dessert may be prepared and
set aside. Any of the simple pud
dings, or cake or stewed fruit or
baked apples are suggestions. The
vegetables should be chosen with an
eye to cooking on Saturday and re
heating on Sunday. Potatoes boiled
whole, cooled, and diced, may be
stored nicely.
In cool weather the roast can be
more than half-cooked on Satur-
dav and reheated on Sunday.
Of course, the soun will have to
be served in separate plates. But
once these are set down; the tamiiy
may be summoned to dinner and the
mother is, then ready to sit down
and enjov'the first course with her
family. After this course, she will
probably collect the soup plates and
carry them out to the kitchen.
Here the required number of large
plates will be in the warming oven.
3nH if she has olanned to cut the
roast and make ready for serving
all the rest that goes wun n c
fore, it will take but a few moments
to put a portion on each plate.
The coffee or other drink may be
placed before the 'amily sit down.
This gives minimum dishwashing
and minimum number 'of trips from
the table.
To Cook Cereal
If you are cooking cereal and do
not know the taste of all who are
to eat it use salt in the proportion
of one level teaspoon to one quart
of water, no matter what sort ot
cereal you use. Some persons like
cereal salted slightly more than this,
hut it is best not. to use more salt
unless vou know the taste of those
who are to eat the finished product.
Never cook for less time than the
directions indicate on package. If
possible cook longer. Remember that
two or three hour cooking cereal
in a double boiler does not injure it,
and usuallv improves it. For cook
ing oatmeal and cornmeal and some
other heavy cereals for children it is
better to let them cook three or four
hours. . ,
Anv sort of cereal can be cooked
to advantage overnight on a coal
stove. If vou do not let the cereal
cool but keep it cooking at a low
temperature all the time, even the
finest ground cereal will not lump
with long cooking. f
If cereal has crusted over or hard
ened a little at the top after long
cooking, do not stir at once, but add
a little boiling water and--let this
soften the top crust before mix-

member that it you are io use i-i...
milk, not cream, on cereal it is bet
ter not to mnke it very thin, as thin
cereal with thin milk makes a rather
tasteless mixture. '
When rice is to be used as a break
fast cereal it is always best to cook
it in the double boiler, as you would
any other cereal, as this makes a
creamier, more porridgelike dish
than is the case when you cook it
in actively boiling water.
Don't Waste Lettuce
Leaves
How to utilize-' large leaves of
lettuce in the making of individual
salads is a pretty little trick spon
sored for by a popular tea room. Se
lect two large leaves for each por
tion. Cut off sufficient from this to
make the leaves same size and lap
the cut ends, one over jthe other,
forming an oval cradle of a size
suited to an individual salad. Cut in
ribbons to a third large leaf and
chop the ends of the two used for
the salad holder. Mix this with a
finely chopped hard boiled egg and
moisten with mayonnaise or boiled
cream salad dressing Heap this
where the leaves lap, decorate the
mound with a dot of salad dressing
and sprinkle of finely chopped
pickled beet. This salad may be
varied by mixifig canned salmon or
tuna fish with the hard boiled egg.
By taking advantage of this sug
gestion there need never be any
wasted lettuce leaves, no matter how
large, as they can be trimmed down
to suitable shape and size.
Mrs. Lillian Dobson, great grand
daughter of Great Bear, the famous
Cherokee Indian chief, with her
ii-j'liter Lillian, is attending the
Oreenwood school in Boston, where
they are studying domestic science.
Scalloped Fish
V. .... S ' !
To Make Sauerkraut
Halve and quarter the cabbages;
throw away the outer leaves, the
stalks and large ribs. Cut into nar
row strips with a sharp, knife or cab
bage cutter. Have a well-washed
wooden or stone firkin: put in the
bottom some clean cabbage leaves
and throw in the cabbage as it is
shredded. Sprinkle evenly with salt;
stamp down hard with a potato
masher. When 'the jar is closely
packed to within three or four inch
es of the top cover with fresh cab
bage leaves, a linen cover and a flat
lid that fits closely into the jar and
has a heavy stone upon it.
Stand the jar in a rather warm
place to, ferment. Small white glo
bules should appear above the brine
in about three days. In about 10
days wash the linen cloth and put on
fresh cabbage loaves. Do this every
10 days whether t lie kraut has been
taken out or not. In about six weeks
the mixture is ready for use and
should last all through the winter.
Do not use too strong brine for
pickling or the cabbage will not fer
ment. A good double handful of
salt is enough for a five-gallon fir
kin. If he cabbage does not show
signs of fermentation in a few days
pour in one cupful of salt water, not
too strong.
The average housekeeper buys her
kraut ready to use. Wash slightly
in a colander; put in a deep porcelain
kettle in which has first been melted
a slice of butter. Put in half the
kraut, then a good-sized piece of
pork, then the rest of the kraut. Add
a little water or clear stock, cover
and cook slowly for at least three
hours, or until the meat and kraut
are soft. An onion improves the
flavor. Before serving remove the
pork and brown in a hot oven. Serve
on a meat platter with the sauerkraut
in a covered vegetable dish.
Make a sauce with one tablespoon
ful of butter, one tablespoon ful of
flour, half a cup cf milk; while boil
ing add the yolk cf one egg, salt and
pepper to taste; take it off the fwe
and add to it some cold or canned
fish free from bones and skin. But
ter some scallop shells, fill with the
fish, sprinkle fried breadcrumbs over ,
and place pieces of butter over the,
top and put them in the oven for
eight to 10 minutes; garnish with
canned shrimp, lemon slices and
parsley.
Get That Outdoor
Exercise Every
Day
The city dweller is inclined to
think of himself as shut off from
the joy of life in the open, but if
he will make good use of city parks
and open spaces he will reap gen
erously in pleasure and improved
health. A young woman whose
eyes were injured by close applica
tion to desk work was ordered by
her oculist to walk or play out
doors half an hour every morning
and evening despite long working
hours. Two months of the exercise
benefited her so much that soon she
was coaxing friends to join her.
And she discovered that when the
parks were at their loveliest, early
in the morning and at twilight, very
few people took advantage of them.
It is folly to regard an hour spent
in outdoor exercise as being taken
from more important activities.
Nothing is more important than a
renewal of one's strength, mental
and physical, and nothing is more
helpful in its renewal than outdoor
exercise and the deep breathing of
good air. One often sees a family
going to church or to some place
of amusement, but how often does
one see the average family setting
out for a good walk, or a' ferry trip
across the harbor, or even for a
side on top of the bus? The ten
dency of people to herd together
faor their amusements lead away
from the development of the indi
vidual, but the home must utilize
every possible agency to offset this

Doctor Tells How to
Strengthen Eyesight
50 In 1 Week's Time
in Manyjnstances
A Free Prescription You Can Have Filled
and Use at Home
Philadelphia, Pa. Do you wear glasses?
Are you a victim ot eye strain or other
eye weaknesses? If so. you will be glad
to know that according to Dr. Lewis there
is real hope for you. Many whose eyes
were failing say they have had their eyes
restored through the principle of this won
derful free prescription. One man says,
after trying it: "I was almost blind;
could not see to read at nil. Now I can read
everything without any glasses and my
eyes do not water any more. At night
they would pain dreadfully: now they feel
fine all the time. It was like a miracle to
me." A lady who used it " says : "The
atmosphere seemed hay with or without
glasses, but after using this prescription
for fifteen day everything seems clear.
I can even read fine print without glasses."
It is believed that thousands who wear
glasses can now discard them in a reason
able time and multitudes more will be
able to strengthen their eyes so as to be
spared the trouble and expense of ever
getting glasses. Eye troubles of many
descriptions may be wonderfully benefited
by following the simple rules. Here is
the prescription: Go to any active drug
store and get a bottle of Bon-Opto tablets.
Drop one Bon-Opto tablet in a fourth of
a glass of water and allow to dissolve.
With this liquid bathe the eyes two to
four times daily.) You should notice your
eyes clear up perceptibly right from the
start and inflammation will quickly dis
appear. If your eyes are bothering you,
even a little, take steps to save them now
before it is too late. Many hopelessly
blind might nave- been saved if they had
cared for their eyes in time.

To Avoid Rough. Coarse,
Chapped, Blotchy Skin
Most skins require constant grooming
at this season to keep them from becom
ing unduly red, blotchy, coarse, rough or
harsh, or if such condition has developed,
to overcome it. In such cases it is par
ticularly inadvisable to keep piling on cos
metics which clog the pores and make the
complexion worse than ever.
It's a lot more sensible to use ordinary
mereolised wax, which literally absorbs a
spoiled complexion. Apply the wax, like
cold cream, before retiring. Next morn
ing, in washing it off, you'll wash away
fine, flour-like particles of the unsightly
cuticle. Repeat for a week or more and
you'll have an entirely new skin soft,
white, spotless and beautiful as a child's.
One ounce of mercolized wax, procurable
at any druggist's, is all you'll need.
