But mother can be well aware of the fact, and also of another, that there are things in the ice chest which will combine well in some simple salad or plate lunch. Herein we have one reason why the Summer vacation season is auspiclous for the uninitiated and youthful “cook.” It is the pleasantest |kind of introduction to the kitchen, one which insures success and gives satisfaction to the ones partaking of the foods and confidence to her who has prepared them. Thus will both family and “cook” be encouraged to make another venture, perhaps mo ambitious than the first. Cold Dishes Best. A luncheon of cold meat and potato salad is a simple “beginner. will suppose that ice chest already contains the meat and that the pota toes are boiled ones “left over.” | haps the young cook will have a feel |ing of *planning it all” if she buys | the head of lettuce herself. The only thing that she really prepares is the alad dressing. better be a French dressing as a s If a prepared mayonnaise is used little of it can be mixed through the | potato, with chopped parsley. The |bowl in which it is mixed should be |rubbed with a halved onion to give | that soupcon of onion so much more | desirable in salad of this kind than |the strong flavor sometimes intro duced. d rt | i Desserts for Beginner. | A fruit cup is a good dessert for| such a luncheon and a safe one for the daughter to try. It is pretty and |appealing and popular. A few mara- {schino cherries will dress up combination of other fruits less ful. Strawberries, if still available, also serve this purpose. A few of these or other berries can be added to a cup made of oranges, pineapple, grapefruit, banana: together, or | with any two in combination. For a |later venture a fruit tapioca may be tried, or some one of many kinds of gelatins that are deliclous with fruit | Recipes Should Be Kept. | It may be suggested here and now that there is no time as good or & much fun to begin a cook book when you begin to cook for the time. Recipes should kept on cards, with the date of the (first time each dish was made. The cards should be of uniform size and |kept in a box where indexing cards | {may be later inserted when recipes in! | sufficient quantity have been added | |to warrant tabulating them as st be written out and AND H. ALLI | from the sides appear lighter. | The reason this “shading” is not so noticeable In figured rugs is be ause the many colors break up the light rays, but this is not the case with a plain surface, so the solid-col ored rug may give this illusion. As soon as the rug is put into use and the pile fibers begin to be crush ed from the traffic over them they naturally assume varlous slants, ac cording to the direction that the principal travel takes over the floor. Some of them will lie endon and others sidewise, so that the user per. ceives the light and dark places and then is liable to jump to the con cluslon—just as your neighbor did- that it is caused by “grease in the yarn” or some other superstition. As a matter of fact, this shading can be expected in any pile fabri It may be observed in such things as velour portieres, upholstery and in plush coats, particularly in the skirt | of the coat where it is crushed when one sits upon it. But it is most noticeable in floor coverings, - of course, because they get the greatest walk of the fibers it will | amount of crushing from being | ed upon BEDTIME STORIES Peter Hears Some Talk. when and you speak then wi et et Ba ¢ Rabbit ' was sitting under his favorite bramble bush in the dear Old Briar Patch preparing to take a nap Jfter having been out all night. He was just dozing off when he heard volces that made his eyes fly wide open and his long ears stand up straight. He knew those voices. He knew them the very instant he heard them, even though he was half asleep. I WONDER TF THEY COULD BE TALKING ABOUT DIGGER THE BADGER They were the of Reddy Fox and Mrs. Reddy Peter peeked out Reddy and Mrs. Reddy were sitting back to him, just outside the edge of the dear Old Briar Patck and they were oking over toward the Old asture.

They tell me that he really belongs out where Old Man Coyote came from.” Peter hugged himself. He hadn't a_doubt now. It must be Digger about whom. they were talking. It couldn't be any one else. Digger was alive after all, and he was living in the Old Pasture. Peter was as sure of it as if Digger had been men- tioned by name. “It used to be easy enough to get all the Meadow Mice and Wood Mice a fellow wanted before Old Man Coyote and Digger the Badger came. Now there are not enough Mice to zo round,” grumbled Reddy. “Some. times T feel like moving way off somewhere.” “That would be a silly thing to do,” declared Mrs. Reddy. “If we are not smart enough to get our share, we deserve to go without. I wonder what Digger left the Green Meadows for anyway. 1 thought he was settled down there for life. I never did like him, and I never will. I think he has a mean disposition.” “People who live by themselv apt to have mean dispositions, clared Reddy. “I don’t like him, I never did like him, and I never will like him, but I don’t know what I can do about it. That fellow has sharp teeth and stout jaws and claws to go with his mean disposition. The less I see of him the better it will suit me.” (Copyright. 1925 by T. W. Burgess) | About Foods.

If inclined to be ‘bilious” remem ber that while you must eat simple food your actual diet must be planned by voufself and your physician to. gether. Even wholesome foods are at times disturbing.

When other oils have been added a more or less gran ular appearance is the result of the test. Pure olive ofl, if slightly heat- ed, does not smell very different from the cold oil.

J. Since colitis is the cause of your trouble, the diet would have to planned for that rather than for the “nervous indigestion." A diet for colitis is as follows Cream soups made of equal parts of strained vegetable pulp and white sauce of thickened milk, fine cereal, such as cream of wheat, wheatena and farina. The lean part of simply cooked beef and mutton, white of chicken and white fleshed fish, sweet breads and the soft part of oysters. Among the vegetables particularly suitable for cream soups are lima beans, pea: stewed c ry and pota- toes. Fresh green vegetables un cooked are apt to cause the increased action of the bowels and must, there- fore, be avoided. Dessert should be ch tollowing list: Gelatin puddings, custards starchy puddings, such as cornstarch, farina and Iceland mos: Milk may cause trouble, although if taken in the form of koumiss many suffering from colitis can digest it. The diet must be, made up of foods that are not stimulating to the bow. els, those that are very easily digested, those that are finely chopped. The quantity of the food must be sufficient to provide energy and to make good the necessary body-building.

He is not under weight, vet seems tired and sluggish, and he does not do well in school. T might add that he is very fond of sweets. I feel that his diet is at fault. Can you help him?—Mrs. J. W. D. 1 am very happy to do what I can in suggesting the proper diet for your son. He is just at a very important age, and you are right in feeling that you should pay considerable attention to getting his diet straightened out now, as his whole future in nutrition may depend upon it. It is too bad that he cannot drink milk, as he should have no tea or cof- fee. Can he perhaps take cocoa or cereal coffee with considerable milk for the foundation? If possible, he ould have a good dish of hot por- ridge for breakfast, and If he cannot eat this with milk, you might try a little fresh butter and salt, but no sugar. A few steamed raisins or chopped dates may make the cere more palatable, as it certainly add to its food value. What you say of your eon eating vegetables is fine, and, in fact, my feeling is that if he will cut out sweets, stick to the vegetables, add cereals and pay very strict attention to intestinal cleanliness, he may find his tired feeling disappearing. This matter of attention to the action of the bowels is most important, and may very possibly be the solution of your problem. With the cereals, fruits and vegetables, and plenty of exercise, but not too much for his rapidly grow- ing strength, and with bran added to his diet, I think he will probably be all right in a comparatively short time. The bowels and skin trouble may vield to this treatment. As you may know, veast is frequently helpful in cases of boils. This should be eaten with reasonable restraint, that is, one or two cakes of compressed yeast a day until you have opportunity to ob- serve the effect on digestion. The im- portant vitamin existing in yeast is probably the thing that helps to get rid of bofls. I suggest that you do not use yeast without asking your physician. There is nothing in it that wiil harm any one, but it may not be the right food, although indications are that it may help. (Covyright. 1925.) Green Sauce.

She would travel over the road she had traveled in the pride of youth, when boiler-plates of Yorkshire iron were untouched of rust, when copper tubes were new and shining, to rest in glory at the Brashear Station Park! It took the chairman of the board to put through a four-thousand-dollar repair bill the Sabine ran up. It was some pill to force down the throat of a directorate already cramped for mon- ey. But it went down. You had to hand it to Hard-boiled Hank. When he started out to do i something, he made a good job of it. Up past the desolate siding where the Sabine stood, the Sky Rocket had roared on her way west, the long line of Pullmans singing behind 748 and the brass rails of the observation plat- form of Henry Burlingame's car twinkling at the very end. In that car were the officials headed for Bra- shear to view the ceremonies when the Sabine arrived to be installed at her resting place in the depot park. Through the chill air the raucous shriek of Ed Maddox's whistle had risen to salute the veteran, a tribute to the locomotive that once had been the Delta-Valley's pride as the steel steed that throbbed beneath him was its pride today. The whistle of the Sabine had squealed in proud response. But the hand that pulled the cord was not the hand of Buck McMasters. Nor yet of Jazzbo, his fireman. It was the grip of old Dad Adams himself that acknowledged that salute. The two of the younger generation, who had taken the Sabine from the Algiers vards to the siding where now she Stood, wers seated on the sloping em- bankinent between the locomotive and the levee, using language that it would | have been the proud privilege of the roundhouse gang to hear. For their engine had ground to a stop, gun muzzles had covered them, voices muffied by shrouding bandannas had commanded them to climb down. And they had climbed. Then, as the hold-up men had taken over their cab, one bandanna had slipped. Be- fore their astonished eyes appeared the face of old Dad Adams. In language they sought relief. They needed some relief, there was| no question about that. And the re- lief of free speech seemed all that was coming to them. For the muzzle of Uncle Miceky's shotgun held them un- wavering, as he squatted, unmasked now, between cab and tender. alk all ye plaze,” he told them complacently. “Get it off you chests, | like bad little boys.

Ye can’t hurrt my feelin’s I've been cursed by experts when ye were nurs- in’ outa botties. Talk up, childer.” They talked up. But they likewise | let it stop at that. They knew too much of Uncle Mickey and his past record to think he spoke idly when | the gnarled old finger of the man who | had “fired” on that road in its wild, roaring construction days caressed a blue steel trigger. He was not mur- derous, was Uncle Mickey, but he wouldn't in the least hesitate to pep- per their legs. Up on the new leather seat at the right-hand side of the cab once more, Dad Adams ran appraising eyes over his familiar surroundings. Lovingly verse. ately. Even the shotgun on the seat Many was the time in the wild and early days when he had made the run | with weapon in cab. Many the time he had used it. ““Neve’' mind all that wild talk them babis is spoutin’, Mickey,” he called. “We're set t' roll. Jus' you' watch ‘em an’ see they don’ hook on behin’. Pepper 'em if they try. Hank says 'tain’t safe fo’' yo’ an’ me t' run this ol' wagon, does he! Huh! We'll show them two babies 'tain’t safe t’ monkey with us.” Defiantly the Sabine's whistle tooted again. Her bell clanged warning once more. Slow majestically, as Dad Adams’ fingers stirred to familiar | tasks. she backed down the siding. | Eagerly Uncle Mickey leaped down | and threw the old hand gwitch, shot- | gun in hand. Out on the main line | rolled the ancient locomotive, Back | clanged the switch in place. Up into the cab creaked Uncle Mickey Riordan. Then while Buck McMasters and Jazzbo cursed in one final, harmoni ous burst of soul-stirring profanity at the thought of the long walk or the long wait that was their choice. they saw the Sabine and her tiny ten- | der gather speed and clatter on up the line toward Brashear. | “Feed her, Mickey! Feed her!” or-| dered Dad Adams as the rejuvenated | old wagon swung on her way to the | drive of her pumping pistons. Uncle Mickey’s old back bent joyously to his task with clanging shovel as he at- tacked the four tons of coal in the tiny tender. his hands strayed from throttle to re- | He eyed the gauges affection- | beside him looked natural and familiar. | (Copyright. by Doubleday. Page & Co.) i the Sky Rocket bétween us and Bra shear,” grinned Dad as he opened_the throttle to its widest. “Let's ses can we step on 1d Maddox's tail, the young squirt!” Little it mattered to Dad that it was the Sabine’s 12-inch cylinders he was matching exultantly against the 29%- inch cylinder, diameter of 48, or that the best pressure he could raise to Uncle Mickey’'s most frantic shoveling was 125 pounds to the 200 that was at Ed Maddox's command, or that the 1,760 gallons of water in his boiler was competing with the 12,000 gallons of the big F-4. It mattered not to him just then that the Sabine's trac- tive power was a little fess than 8,000 pounds and that he was pitting it against the 76,000 of the giant that roa far ahead of him. Little de- tails like that weren’t bothering Dad in the flush of his triumph. He was crowding to the chase, and the road between the two racing locomotives and Brashear was clear. What more could anybody ask? And wasn't the big F-4 hauling the Sky Rocket while the Sabine was running free? Sure! His veins sang with the memories of the old days when he and the Sabine were masters of that road. The old sense of power was upon him. He called to Uncle Mickey, who was taboring silently. “A race isn't over till she’s over. Mick,” he reminded. “Yo' got only 91 square feet of firebox heatin’ surface t' keep hot, boy. That feller ahead o' yo', he's got 250. An’ he's a oil-burn- in’'fool, too. But we got a real fire- man in this cab. Show ’'em, Mickey! Show ‘em! There was the humorous quirk of retort suppressed upon Uncle Mickey’s lips. But he bent his knotted old back to show 'em. If they were going crazy, they might as well go the route he grinned to himself “Stay with her, Mickey!” Dad en couraged him, tootling for a deserted crossing. “They think they'll have time fo' a meal an’ some sieep befo’ we hit Brashear. We'll show 'em, the scuts! They won't have time t' 1 the Pullman porter brush ’em off Glorously they charged along. Oh, but it was joy to reach for the Middle-Aged Business Women. This is especlally written to Mrs. and a large one, other women will also be interested. Mrs. B. is the wom- an who married, ran a home, a child or children, was widowed and com- pelled to go out and earn money to educate and feed her family at the age when most women are taking the rewards of life and not the burdens. Mrs. B. is anywhere from 28 to 40, and she cannot afford to look what- ever her age is. ‘What shall she do? Leisure to rest, to fuss over herself, is impossible: money to spend on fine clothes and expensive beauty treatments equally impossible. Yet she must look fresh, rested, alert, without grief, be inter- ested in others' petty problems; she must look successful and, above all, young. I think Mrs. B. is entitled to use every possible means to achieve youth, don't you? If her hair is going gray, absolute sign of middle age, I think she is entitled to dye it if—here’s the problem—she_can dye it successtully, and the dyefng will make her look younger. Henna s always a good dye: it helps rather than hurts the hair: any one with care can use it: it makes the hair red, of course, and is so much used that we look askance at red hair these days—but the ageing b voman wants an effect—and hair of any shade but gray will give her the effect of youth. So I believe in letting her dye it, and would then like her to be quite frank about it—outside her | business circle—just as we are frank ICED every glass. ““We've nothin’ but open track an’ BEAUTY CHATS B——, but as Mrs. B. is a new type | T E A is always delightfully refreshing.

One by one the little towns and set tlements, strung along on an oak-dot- ted clay ridge behind the levee, dropped behind them. Ahead of them lay the Bienvenu trestle, and the long down ward plunge over the end of the ridge and along the embankment through the Tete Noir swamp. Cautously Dad slowed her down and took the trestle at half-speed. The water was high about it, he noticed; the swamp was flooded well up into the underbrush as far as eve could reach “Ol' Winteh rains raisin’ hell just ‘bout same’s they allus did, Micke) | he observed.
