FE AT T RESS Ceol Drinks for Summer Days BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. The wave of heat that surged over the country early this month proved the popularity of ice-cold drinks, not of the alcoholic sort that heats the biood, but of the refreshing kind, such as beverages made from fruit juices. Those that couple a slightly stimulat- ing effect with the cooling properties, such as iced tea and iced coffee, were THE CLINK OF 1 GLASS IS A EF| SOUND WHEN COLD DRI ED W HI ARE and always are prime favorites.

So with M Red-eye resumed her 1 duties The next mc she had a fourth egg of her own in the nest, and now the nest was rather crowded. big, unwelcome egg left there by Sally Sly the Cowbird took up altogether too much room. It made Mrs. Red- eve uncomfortable. She shifted about, trving to find a more comfortable po. ion. Tn this she found that haps have can | lemonade, | mio | mind to leave | those three | AND | would | That | glasses partly filled with the liquid. One delicious drink of this kind is made by combining orange juice with grape juice in the proportions of one- fourth” orange juice to three-fourths grape juice. The orange seems to mellow the grape slightly without changing the flavor to any marked degree. Tt is surprising the wide range of fruits and even vegetables that are now employed in the making of soft drinks. The homemaker can use all juices from canned or stewed fruits, rhubarb cooked to a liquid and strained. and cranberries done in the ame way. Even the water from resh.cooked beets is used to give :olor and some flavor to such bever. ages, and carrot water is considered beneficial as well as tasty when used in combination. There are endless ways of serving iced coffee and almost as many ways of serving iced tea. The latter makes the best foundation of anything for fruit punches. Strained Fruit Juice: Strained stewed frults are wonder- ful to add to lemonade, which should not be very strong. The liquid from blackberries stewed until there is al- most no pulp, gives a rich color and a delicate flavor that is hard to rival when added to lemonade. The berries should be nearly covered with water, | and sugar added to make a thin sirup |and the pleces strained. If a very rich | brew is made more water can be added |to the glasses and the sirup diluted, |after it is made instead of when cooked. The “Best Ever” Lemonade. The very nicest sort of lemonade is made by slicing the fruit thin, and pouring cold water over it. Then add sugar to taste and let the lemonade ripen by standing for an hour or so. Stir_occasionally, pressing _the julce from the lemon slices. Partly fill glasses with ice and pour in the ade. The peel gives just enough zest to add suggestion of piquancy that is | refreshing. If a sirup is made (rnrg the lemon and sugar, do not put mor than one-half the amount of peel into the kettle. More will be apt to give a slightly bitter flavor when cooked. To omit the peel altogether is to make | the quality of the lemonade inferior. Even when lemons gre squeezed intc containers or glasses be sure to put in lemon slices. They look tempting as | well as adding zest. Iced Barley Coffee. A beverage that is different and is ! good to serve invalids is made by combining the water from blanched | barley with coffee and a little lemon. | Wash three tablespoonfuls pearl bar- ley and put in saucepan with water to cover. Bring to a boil as quickly -as possible. Strain the water off the bar- ley and rinse the grains. Put the | barley into five cupfuls strong coffee and one-half large lemon slced thin. Simmer for two hours, chill and serve |in glasses half filled with crushed ice. Sweeten if desired. I shall be glad to give recipes for other drinks that are different if readers will write and let me know they would like them. Di- rect to Lydia Le Baron Walker, care of this paper. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS egg resting against one of her feet. | She knew it was that egg by its size. The very feel of it caused her to losc her temper for a minute. Lifting her- slightly, she suddenly kicked out :d up with all her might. Really she hadn't meant to do it. It done in a fit of temper. And then as she settled back she missed something. She didn't feel the hig egg. She got up and looked in her nest. There were just four eggs there | and all were her eggs. Then she looked down on the ground, and there lay the unwelcome egg, broken. Excited- 1y she called to Mr. Red-eve. He was not far away, and he came hurrying over to see what new thing had hap- | pened to excite Mrs. Red-eye so. “I've got rid of it! I've got rid of she cried. | “What have you got rid of: | manded Red-eye, looking puzzled. | “That egg that Sally Sly laid ™ our | nest,” replied Mrs. Red-eye. Then she | explained how she had kicked it out, and they both flew down for a look at it. Afterward Red-eye sang and sang for pure joy, while Mrs. Red-eye once more sat on the eggs. And this time she had no difficulty in making her- self comfortable. Meanwhile, unseen by Red-eye and Mrs. Red-eye, a feathered person | dressed in brownish-gray, who wa | much blgger than the Varces, had | been spying and had seen that egg | kickfled from the nest. It was Sally | Sly the Cowbird, and she had been | watching for a chance to lay another |'egg In that nest. But now she sud- denly changed her mind. She must find the mest for some one smaller than herself, but who was not smart | enough to get rid of an extra egg. (Copyright. 1925, by T. W. Burgess.) l Summer Recipes I Brown Bread Ice Cream.

'BLACKSEFLAG . ’ THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, FRIDAY, JUNE 26, 1 The Daily Cross-Word Puzzle Sundey morning I put on my new brown soot and looked at myself in the looking glass with it on, thinking, G, I look good, I bet Mary Watkins would think she was grate if she took a wawk with me in this soot. And after brekfist I dident have enything speshil to do so I started to wawk erround to her house, thinking, Maybe 1IIl jest kind of wawk past without stopping. Wich jet then who did T see wawk- ing in the same direcktion but Puds Simkins in a new green soot, him see- ing me at the same time and saying, Ware you going? Nowares speshil, but I know ware your going, your going erround to Mary Watkinses to show off your new soot in frunt of her and you think she’ll take a wawk with you or something, I know you, you cant fool me, I sed. O is that so? Puds sed. Yes thats so, 1 sed, and he sed. Is that so? Well you must be going erround there yourself to show off your own new soot or you would never of thawt of sutch a ideer, a glity conscients speeks ferst, he sed. O is that so? I sed, and he sed, Yes thats so, and I sed, is that so? Well in the ferst place your very mutch mistaken and in the 2nd place you dpn't know wat your tawking about because I dident even remember 1 had a new soot on till you jest reminded me, and in the ferst place I wouldent wawk 6 inches to see the bewtlest looking gerl in the werld in the 2nd place, 1 sed. Well neither do I and wats more I never ixpect to, gerls dont meen eny- thing to me except a lot of trubble, bleeve me, I got enuff to worry about without gerls, Puds sed. And we keep on telling each other how mutch we dident care about gerls, and all of a suddin who went past but Mary Watkins taking a wawk with Persey Weever in a new check soot, me saying, Confound it, darn the luck, if we hadent of waisted so mutch time tawking she would of took a wawk with both of us together insted of going_with that guy. Aw heck, I hate that sissey, sed. And we took a wawk with each other for consolation Puds Fruit on Leaves Some fastidious housewives make a rule always to serve fruit on some sort of green leaves. Grape leaves are very useful for this purpose, and the suburbanite usually has room in even a small garden spot for a grape vine that will provide leaves for this purpose. If you have no bushes or vines in your own garden for this pur pose you may be able to get them from some nearby grove or woods. If you like you may pick quite a stack of leaves and keep them in a cool place to use for several days. Virginia creeper leaves are much admired for this purpose. But remem- | ber that the Virginia creeper is a five- leaved vine that grows up the side of woodland trees—and not the three- leaved vine. One housewife, more en- thusiastic than wise, gathered some very pretty leaves to use for garnish- ing fruit and carried them home, only to learn to her sorrow that they were leaves of poison ivy. Hundreds of little blisters on her hands taught her her mistake. Virginia creeper | leaves turn a gorgeous red later in the Summer, and they are most at tractive when just half green and | half red. There are even some weeds | that have good leaves for this pur. pose. They should be selected with some care, for each leaf should be perfect, and of course it should be well washed before being used for this purpose. One cannot use fruit for decora- | tive purposes so much in Summer a in Winter, for the reason that when left in a warm living or dining room it soon spoils. However, you may | put fruit on the breakfast table in | the natural state, cultivating the habit in your family for eating fruit “in | the skin.” There could be nothing | prettier for a breakfast centerpiece | than a dish of assorted fruit, laid on fine green leaves. When you can | manage to do so, it is nice to use the | leaves that belong to the fruit—and | this is sometimes possible with plums. | grapes, apples and currant Compote of Cherries. Compotes are fruits preserved with a liftle sugar and made as they are required. For the cherry compote | take two pounds of cherries, one cup of sugar and the strained juice of | two lemons. The cherries should be | red, as they will have a more piquant | flavor. Leave an inch of stem to| each cherry. then put the fruit in | a saucepan with the sugar and lemon | juice. Put them over a slow fire, shaking the pan occasionally. Boil | three minutes, them remove them from the saucepan. Return any of the sirup to the saucepan and re- duce it by boiling. When ready for | serving pile the cherries in a pyra- | mid in a glass dish and pour the sirup over them. l | (Copyright, 1925.) l 1. Perch . Sincerely. . Of an unbleached color. . Plan .

D. Not Improved. In a large public hospital conducted on old fashioned lines there was a simplified system which patients could elect one of four possible destinies, to wit, improved, not improved, passed over. or a sconded. If the interns proposed some operation the patient either improved or absconded. If one of the attend- ing surgeons insisted on doing the operation himself the final entry was | either not improved or passed over. Public heaith in this country today. as compared with We have enjoyed great progress in the conservation of public health, for example, the conquest of fever, a disease which prevailed reg- ularly every Autumn 20 years ago, but which is now becoming ulmost a curiosity in civilized communities. For all or nearly all of the progress we have made in public health conserva tion we must thank the public health | authorit through whose activities the improvement has been brought about. It is in no degree attributable to any activities of our own as in- dividuals. The benefits of public health betterment come to one and | all_irrespective of individual health habits, personal hygiene or personal beliefs or theories about health. Personal health betterment, as it seems to me, is not improved. By that T mean we appear to stand practically where we stood as our personal heaith betterment ix concerned. If we have made a gain in one direction, as, for example, in the conservation of our teeth, we have lost_ground in some other direction. as, for examile, the extinction of the health saving habit of walking, so that little if any real progress is being | made in the field of personal health building, or at best personal health lags far behind public health. The reason for this indifference. I think. simply the difference between ac of records under | the public health | years ago, is certainly improved. | typhoid | 20 vears ago So far | | tivity and passivity. Our public health officers are active in the protection of our health from the dangers of | epidemics; we individuals are quite passive about the care of our personal | health. Public health authorities, too avail themselves of the great advan. tage ‘of advertising, education, pub- licity, propaganda and more advertis ing. 'Personal health proper gets lit Ptle help of this kind, comparatively little, I mean. Here and there some public health administrator with the opportunity at his command takes to give some advertising, educa tion or publicity to strictly personal health matters, but this is just a secondary concern of the public health dministrator and his sporadic or spasmodic efforts in this direction can not accomplish much, and besides he is seldom qualified or competent to deal with personal health matters in the expert way he administers pub- lic_health affairs. Advertising is education, be it for better or for worse. Most of the ad- vertising touching upon personal | health matters seems to me bad edu | cation, Tor it conveys unsound. untrue or unsafe ideas to the untutored lay- man. We must remember that the charlatans the nostrum mongers were first in the field and their motive was bad to begin with. Then the food manipulators got into the health game, next the clothing people took it up, and finally the whole line of | makers and purvevors of household equipment and supplies joined in the sport, until health became the appeal of every vendor of merchandise, from the chewing gum man to the auto- | mobile manufacturer, and everybody | came to know a lot ‘of things which ain't so.
