When the drawers of any article of furniture are hard to move they can be made to run easily by rubbing dry soup on the parts that fit into the Rrooves. Door hinges that do not work well hould be rubbed along the hearings with oil Many un- pleasant noises arise when wood bears on metal, but the sound may be en- ! tirely stopped by the application of little” grease. A window that is diffi- ut to move should also be treated with grease, applying it on the sash and then pushing the window up and down until an easy movement is se- cured To Make Fabrics Fireproof. Fow people realize that it is pos: ble with very little trouble or expense to make various kinds of material practically fireproof. To do this. three parts of psom salts and six parts of borax are dissolved together in 40 parts of hot water. The fabric should then be well soaked in this solution, squeezed and hung up to dry. In the case of material that is to be starched, Epsom salts and borax can be added to the tarch paste. These ingredients do not affect col- ored fabri Materials so treated will burn only with the greatest difficulty. cleanliness to i «oiled s than £rimy the de 1t mirl when state pair a present of a case I show This ofter ' achieve culeate a ity which n in chitdren encourazed. and must not t itute fer, it habit: and studied ways The A child contented when awake niviature e it Bedroom. clea little of t iness iv x0 nece shorld su wl Convalexcent Child. must be lively, active A healthy baby is always, kicking his lews and | he and air «oenild from an in ring tain t tunced zer for em muscles are still | < of handling heavy normal pursuits ue At such a al of dricd peas that have vernight in warm water, paper, 4 & aitiul child’s weakened ! plovment. bu unequal to the t toys or of following without time @ cup? been soaked box teothpicks, pair of small scissors and w tube of paste wiil fu cupation for many havpy hours. - Fla . materials xt to nothing, and the work ing them into various small and simple as to - hands nor bra any possibilities is the ture for the paper hild first forms the | other object by together tain of some of combi af ! house for The chair or toothpicks he t step is to cut the <alid parts, such chair seats or tahle tops, from paper, to fold-the edzes over the to ick frames, and fasten them with paste.

As soon as the plaster and glue mixture has hardened the nail will be more firmly in position than it was before. A safe and easy method of remov ing a stopper from a fragile bottle is to draw a piece of string backward and forward several times round the neck of the bottle, which should be firmly held by another person. The friction so caused will warm the neck of the bLottle and expand it suffi- ently to allow the stopper to be drawn out easily. The same result can sometimes be obtained by holding the stopprer over a flame. To clean an aluminum pan that has been badly burned pour in a little water and boil and onion in it.

It is also worth while trying to make expensive shoe strings last as long as possible. Much may be done in this wav by changing the position of the strings in the shoes from time to time. They wear out first at the top holes, where the greatest strain put upon them when tying. Occa- sionally the shoes should be laced over again., pulling the strings just a little to one side or another. This necd only be a fraction of an inch, and it does not show when the bow it tied, yet it takes away the strain from one special place. Thus is avoided that continual strain on one part, which is sure to result in a break. Scheol children constantly wear their stockings into holes, and there- fore it is a good plan to cover the heels and toes of new stockings with close, even darning before they are worn at all. It will be observed that in time the darning will wear away, proving that the life of the stockings is lengthened in this way. The School Lunch. The box lunch for the school boy or §;1 should be planned with consider- [ 1 am very much interested in your writings on food, and ask your advice about what I can feed my husband that will aid his digestion. Since having teeth extracted he has suf- fered so much from constipation. He has to take medicine every night. I feel you may be able to give me a diet, as he cannot chew anything un- less soft, and very little meat, which must be chopped. He don't want to be taking medicine. He always takes bitter sagrada liquid, and gets so despondent, it is so hard to swallow. He has read so much of your writ- ing, and feels your advice would benefit him. 1 may add that my hus- band is 65 years, active and healthy otherwise. Attends to business every day, and does not look his years. I will anxiously look for your answer, and do exactly as you say.—J. H. B. Replying to your question about diet for your husband, I note your problems relating to his digestion and the necessity for soft food. 1 also note that your husband's age is 65. This means that he requires slightly less food than a man under 50." As to the trouble with constipa- tion, the fact that he cannot chew rough food will also make the matter more difficult. You will understand that 1 cannot from a distance sug- ®est a diet which is sure to be help- ful, but can only make certain sug- gestions. For example, such foods as fresh cream, olive oil, fresh butter and bacon will be helpful, both in building him up and in the daily trouble. You must, however, remember very care- fully to give these only in limited quantities, and must watch their ef- fect on the digestion. Advise him to begin each meal with something warm, such as a little warm soup. Instead of the old-fash- ioned gruel, try making the oatmeal into soup combined with strained to- mato juice and flavored with other vegetables. This is a very appetizing dish and should help considerably. Fruit juices will also be very good for him, and I advise orange juice, grape juice or grape fruit julce, di- luted ‘with a little water. Stewed fruit, or fruit gelatin, or fruit junket, or baked custard will be the best type of dessert. As to the meat dish, you might try a little scraped raw beef, serving it between slices of thin bread and butter. Scraped chicken or lamb may also be used, and for variety try mak- ing the scraped beef into small pats and brofling these over a clear fire. As to egEs, if his digestion will bear them, I should say that he should bave one a day. The fresh vegetables are very im- e care and thought. A cold lunch ould not be unappetizing or less ndurishing than the home meal. The mpainstay of the lunch box, of course, iS s\ndwiches. The sandwich alone ofters many possibilities, with a fill- ing of meat. fish, eggs or cheese. It forms a substantial background to the box meal, but alone it is not suffi cient. It may afford building mate rial and be energy-giving, but there should be in addition something fresh and juicy. Give a variety of fruit. Fruit jellies pack nicely and are ap- petizing. A variety in desserts is essential. There is a wide choice, in- cluding tarts, cake, cookies, nuts and raisins, stuffed dates or molded pud- dfngs. The following suggestions fulfill all requirements of nutritious- ness and o4 the same time provide the variety so essential: 1 Egg sandwiches, orange, jam sandwiches, plain cake, two or three figs. 2. Stuffed eggs, bread and butter, baked apples, sugar cookies, two or three dates. 3. Meat paste sandwiches, raw ap- ples, molasses cookies, a few pieces of candy. Dates, figs and apples, together with other fruits, have a laxative ef- fect on the system which is beneficial. ‘They should be used in lunches freely ‘When putting a few pleces of candy, or some dates, or figs in the box, ‘wrap them carefully and conceal the little package in one ocorner, to be THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

We'd The Dasheen i | Have vou ever looked at some | queer-looking vegetables in the midst | of the large market—vegetables about the size of a large egs and with a very brown and rough coat— and wondered what they were? It is possible that you do not know a dasheen when you see it, but, as a matter of fact, those who make it a business to study unusual foods and to develop them have been for a num- ber of years engaged in studying this visitor from. other lands. As it came originally from Trinidad, some of our Southern States have adopted the dasheen, and now look upon It as a good crop and a full- fledged member of the family of American vegetables. The housewife is interested prin- cipally in how to use the dasheen in her three-meals-a-day program, and we find that In general it may be cooked in any way suitable for the preparation of potatoes. While the dasheen is often useful in localities where the potato does not grow satisfactorily, housewives should not think of this vegetable as a sub- stitute for potatoes from the point of view of food value, since no one food is a complete substitute for an- other. This does not in any sense lessen the vice performed by the dasheen in adding to our daily diet a vege- table that is capable of entering into many palatable and nutritious dishes. Dieticians find that the dasheen is usually digested easily, and house. wives who have experimented ar unanimously of the opinion that the mealy texture of the cooked flesh is very palatable. The color of the flesh ranges from a creamy white to a light violet. Answers to Food - Questions portant, and had better be served as one ingredient in the cream soup, allowing equal part of strained vege- table pulp and thickened milk. 1 realize that these notes are very general, but I am sure you will un- derstand that vou are the only one who can finally decide as to what foods your husband can eat. The types T have suggested are the best for you to try. I am a constant reader of your ar- ticles, and would like to consult you as to my dlet. I suffer dreadfully of headaches, and my doctor claims it's from my stomach, which seems true, as I wear glasses to rest my eyes. Every morning I wake up with a burning feeling in my temples, which stays all day. I do not work over hard. 1 have two girls, 6 and 4% vears, and have a new home, which stays clean by going over it every day. Tam contented, and very happy it T only would feel well. So if you would kindly send me a diet and what to do to gain weight. I am 104 pounds in weight, and am 5 feet 7% inches in height, so 1 am under weight. Please try and answer me real soon. Without knowing something about your present diet, I am somewhat in the dark as to any changes that I might suggest. On the other hand, I may be able to give you some gen- eral suggestions. You will need to gain from 35 to 40 pounds. If you are of a nervous temperament, try to keep your mind relaxed as much as possible, nervous tension tends to make you thin. You will have to be careful also about not overdoing muscular exercises, and take just enough to keep you healthy. One of the difficulties may be that it would be necessary for you to eat whether you are hungry or not. Try mid- morning and mid-afternoon lunch- eons of milk with cream, or malt sugar, or sherbets and ice cream, or fruit juices, or raw eggs beaten in milk, watching your digestion all the time to see that you are not overtaxing it. The diet plan might be something like this: For breakfast, a dish of stewed prunes, with crisply prepared cereal, an egg and two slices of but- tered toast, with half a cup of top milk or thin cream on the cereal and a cup of coffee. At 10:30 o'clock, one of the lunches indicated above. At midday a small cup of cream of vege- table soup, a fruit salad, a buttered roll or piece of bread and butter and a small serving of cornstarch pud- ding with chocolate. At 3:30 p.m., one of the light lunches. For dinner, a slice of roast beef or plain brofled steak, with scalloped potatoes. A serving of fresh vegetables, according to season, and & plain lettuce salad, with plenty of oil and salt or a French dressing made with oil and lemon juice instead of vinegar. A dessert of frozen cus- tard, or chocolate bread pudding, or gelatin with whipped cream. I think you will find that if you keep your digestion in perfect order and pay very close attention to bowel movements your headaches will sto; troubling you, The Trouble Ezxchange DorothyDix Says That We Would Not Swap Woes 11 We Could Burdens of Others Always Seem Lighter Than Ours But at a “Central Trouble Exchange” We'd Find Our Own Easier. the course of the people who tell m, IN of their sorrow: ar 1 get thousands upon thousands of letters from s.

He had nothimg in particular on his mind. He was simply wandering about and just looking. He wasn't looking for anything special. He was just looking in the hope of seeing something interesting. At length he came to a warm, sunny bank. Theré was a big, flat stone on that warm, sunny bank. Peter had seen it many times, for he had often passed that way. There was nothing interesting about that flat stone to Peter. At least, there never had been anything interesting about it until now. He had glanced carelessly over at that big, flat stone, and it seemed to him that he had seen something move under it. He couldn’t be sure, for, look as he would now, he could see nothing. Just the same, he had a feeling that some one was under that big, flat stone. Peter went back into the bushes and sat down where he could watch that big, flat stone. He sat perfectly still for a long time. He had just THEN OUT GLIDED A BIG SNAKE. about made up his mind that he must have been mistaken, when, slowly and cautiously, a head was thrust out from under that big, flat stone. Peter continued fo sit perfectly still. For a couple of minutes that head didn’t move. But out of the mouth a slen- der, forked tongue kept darting. Then out glided a big snake. It was Mrs. Blacksnake. At first Peter had thought it was Mr. Blacksnake, but when hd saw that this one was not quite as big as Mr. Blacksnake he knew that it must be Mrs. Black- snake. She was dressed just the same as Mr. Blacksnake—black all over ex- cepting her chin, which was white. She raised her head and looked this way and that way, then swiftly she glided away. “Huh!” said Peter. “That must be Mrs. Blacksnake's home. It must be that she was taking a nap in thera It is_funny I have never seen her here before.” Then Peter went on his way, and thought no more about it until he chanced to meet Jimmy Skunk. Jimmy was ambling along in his usual slow way, stopping now and then to pull over a stick or a stone. He was looking for fat beetles. “Good-morning. Peter,” said Jimmy. “What is the news?”" “Good-morning,” replied Peter. “There Isn't any news.

It is stimulat- ing and grateful to the appetite, and affords a change of diet when only liquids may be servea. To make beef tea, soak chopped beef in water for at least one hour, using one pint of water to one pound of lean beef. Cook the mixture slightly over hot water until it becomes a reddish brown color. Stir it constantly while cooking, strain through a coarse strainer, season it, then serve at once. e Nine men could stand in the mouth of a 96-foot whale caught in Akutan, Alasxa. ittle Benny's Note Bof)lizr i i 1 The Weakly News.
