Alco- hol must be absolutely forbidden. Fatty food must be cut out as far as possible and starchy food, such as cereals, must be given with medera- tion. In general, a vegetable diet with milk is the best to-include in your diet, and eggs, white-fleshed fish and simple cheese may be added in moderation. It there is an acute condition the milk diet is sometimes in order for a few days, and to this should gradu- ally be added eggs, cereals, gruels, green vegetables and stewed fruits. the best food for you to eat just now. My son, 38 years old, has what the doctors call an acid stomach. Will you please tell me what foods he should eat?—Mrs. E. M. B.

You might have a wooden top for the table made in the shape of a large heart. Any carpenter can easily make one for you. Cover this heart with pink silk or near silk, and over the silk place a cover of plain white ret with an 1S-inch rufle falling from the edge over the pink silk and finished with a tiny running wreath of pink ribbon roses with little pink rose hearts falling down onto the ruffie every few inches apart. ¥or a centerpiece have two hearts, one white carnations, the other pink carnations, or you can use roses in these two colors speared together with a big silver dart. If you can- not obtain real flowers, you can use those made of paper, which will carry out the idea almost as well, as You can buy paper flowers that are So pretty and natural looking. Under each plate place a doily made of the pink silk, covered with net and bordered with little roses. Use pink and white china, pink c dles and rose shades. For pla cards use little cupids and dainty ballet girls dressed in pink, which can stand on ecdge of the tumblers, girls for the men and cupids for the women. Cupid should wear a pink sash upon which the guest's name is written. Over the table should swing a big ball made of pink paper roses, the roses holding the favors and being tied together with chiffon ties, so that at the right time the hostess may “shower” her guests as & charming surprise by simply pull- ing the ties. If you have no pink and white china, you can decorate plain white ohina' for the occasion by cutting tiny pink roses and buds from crepe paper and pasting them on the out- side of the china with flour paste. 1t you use red and gold as the color scheme for your St. Vanentine's day dinner, an appropriate table cen- terplece would be a large red paper heart plerced by a gold paper arrow. Streamers of red baby ribbon should extend from it to the varlous places. At the end of each streamer should be tied an arrow bearing the name of the occupant of the chair. One clever and “asigimal hostess chose yellow for the color scheme dor her St. Valentine table. The centerpiece was a square of lovely lace laid over yellow silk. The slen- der cut glass vase was filled Wwith Dbig yellow carnations. At the cor- ners of the lace square were silver candlesticks with yellow candles and shades. Beside each plate was a white heart cut from white cardboard on which was written in gilt letters a clever little verse descriptive of the one who was to occupy that par- ticular seat. During the dinner a little girl impersonating cupid, with bow and arrow, and cleverly con- structed wings, entered and distrib-| uted a valentine to each one of the guests. Valentine Refreshments. Much of the beauty and dantiness of a Valentine dinner, whatever the menu may consist of, is accomplished by appropriate garnishes and the serving of the dishes. Individual service, as far as possible, adds to the attractiveness of a valentine din- ner. Btew some beets until very tender, then slice and cut them in heart shape with a small cutter. Dress with a white or pink mayonnaise on lottuce leaves. A tomato salad is also nice. Scoop out the inside of the tomatoes and fll with celery and nut meass mixed with mayonnaise and decorate on the top with small hearts cut out of bects. Chicken patties in heart shape, with a pink cream sauce around them, are attractive and appetizing. Creamed dishes, such as creamed peas, creamed lobster and other food, can be served in heart-shaped rame- kins or paper cases. Red currant on cranberry jelly can be molded or cut in the form of hearts and are nice to serve as a garnish with meats. United hearts are sandwiches cut in heart shape, with an olive and cheese filling. Plerced hearts are of fce cream frozen in heart-shaped {ndividual molds, plerced by a little arrow. Per- fect little wooden arrows come in games of jackstraws. Salmon croquettes may be molded in heart shape znd served with sauce tartare. Washington’s Birthday. The decorations for Washington's dirthday tables may be carried out in dark blue and yellow, the colonial colors. Dark blue or gold-banded china would be equally appropriate. Yellow flowers In a dark blue vase would be effective for a centerpiece, or just flags may be used. Brass or glass candlesticks, with dark blue shades, would be effective. Crepe pa- per comes in so many gay and pa. triotic designs that there is no lack of materfal from which to choose ta- ble decorations. Add a candied cherry to each portion of ice cream and stick little flags in the middle of white frosted cakes. MENU. Cream of Carrot Soup in Blue Cups. Chicken Salad with Egg Garnish. Lettuce Sandwiches. Cream Cheese Cannon Balls. Individual Custards in Blue Cups. Sponge Cake. Yellow Bonbons. The younger members of the fam- ily will enjoy an “Under the Cherry Tree” party. The invitations should be cut in cherry shape, with a leaf attached, and on them printed the messag “I cannot tell a lie. I do want to meet you under the cherry tree at my home on February 22." The first thing to greet the boys and girls on thelr arrival is a cherry ires improvised from a tall plant or even a hat tree. From this dangle circles of red paper in imitation of in a circle with the exception of one who stands in the center holding small flag.

HOW IT STARTED BY JEAN NEWTON. “All Aboard.” “All aboard!” It may be a ship or a train for which this is the last call it may be, probably ls, made of steel, but we will speak of “boarding” it and “going aboard.” Originally the term was used with reference to a boat upon which one was to be a passenger, but later it was extended to trains and land craft | of every order. It is a relic of the days when ships were made of wood and passengers literally went ‘“on board.” Incidentally, in Icelandic and some they come, and then execute a graceful hanger.

It must pass through the entire alimentary tract without its form being changed. ‘What happens when a bran food is eaten? After the saliva has acted upon it, it passss through the stomach and into the intestines where every part which is not fiber is absorbed. In ALL-BRAN the quantity of fiber is so groat that it furnishes bulk enough to prevent and relieve constipation. In a part-bran food, the quantity of fibes s so small that there is only a puny smount to do a herculean task. ALL-BRAN brings sure results, Demand it. a bulk food. As it journeys through the body its fiber remains unchanged. There- fore, it can sweep the intestine clean. ALL-BRAN also absorbs and carries mois- ture through the intestinal tract, thus stimulating regular, healthy action.

Eat a mixed dlet of all needed foods, but eat them in small portions. For breakfast you might try a baked apple with an egg and a slice of toast, with a cup of skimmed milk instead of cream. At 10:30 have a cup of clear soup With a cracker or a plece of fruit. For luncheon have a lean part of a broiled chop or a slice of cold roast lamb with two slices of bran bread and all the lettuce you care for. Dress the lettuce with French dress- ing, using lemon juice instead of vinegar. At teatime, a cup of tea with lemon and a cracker. At dinner, a generous slice of broiled or boiled fish, half of a baked or boiled potato, a salad of cress and egg with French dressing, a dessert of sliced orange and a cup of black coffee. At bedtime, one-half cupful of hot skimmed milk. This diet Is taken from the work of a very successful specialist and perhaps will give you a little idea of make a good | meal plan. For these two meals fruit | should be practically the only food taken. If this does not agree, potato puree or rice gruel may be eaten. For the Jarger meals the dlet must be carefully planned and made up of very digestible foods, hot dishes of strained cereals, eggs if they have green vegetables, and salads with plenty of oil.
