The other is called sponge cake be. cause it does not include butter and Joes not rely upon its spongy nature for lightness. Such cake might be called egg cake. The eggs form the element that provides the porous and feathery quality. It is essential to put good things into cake if vou expect it lto come out satisfactorily. This is the first requirement in good cake making and baking. Then comes the correct proportioning. the cor methods of mixing the correct when baking. Texture Important.

Would taking an ounce of olive oil with theals have an ill effect on one with a Wweak heart? It seems to stimulate my heart and make it beat faster fter taking. Do vou think this comes from indigestion? Can 1 use unsweet @ned grape juice with hyperacidity? SHT It is impossible to give a complete list of foods that irritate the stomach | for the reason that some might irri-| tate in one case, others in another. | Tt is possible. however. to give a gen-| eral list of foods that might be irri-| tating, as for example coarse \'exe-i tables’ that have not been carefully | cooked, very highly flavored foods and | very hot foods. Some cases cannot | take acid frults. Others must avoid | tomatoes and rhubarb, also vinegar | and table salt. To make the vegetable purees, prepare the thickened milk first. Melt the butter, rub the flour in amoothly and pour the milk on while the mixture is on the ‘fire stirring all the time. Cook in the inner part of a double boiler for 15 or 20 minutes and then add to the strained vegetable pulp.

Can| you tell me the cause of this, and will you kindly send me a strict diet menu, as this condition worries me considerably? I eat no meats or pas- tries and nothing but wheat or rye bread.—Mrs. L. S. Gas in either stomach or bowels may arise from any ®umber qf different forms of indigestion. The most com- mon is what is known as acid indi- gestion. On the .other hand, similar £ymptoms may appear as a result of quite different conditions. You will see from this that I can only guess at a diet if 1 attempt to give you one without knowing a little more about your ci If you are in touch with | =ome one who can give you an idea of | the form of indigestion from which | are suffering I can send you a suggested diet. I realize that this ix not glving you much practical help, hut feel wure that you understand | that without the actual which to base it. Just by way of offering one general knowledge on suggestion 1 might say that it oceurs | to me that you may be limiting vour diet too cl to fruits and tables. While vou should by all means eat what fs known as easily digested food, 1 think that the chances are you would be better for taking what is known as an all-round mixed diet. 1 myself advocate a reasonable vege- | if no soun has been served at lunch. a cup of clear broth, a broiled chop or a it of lean steak or a slice of white meat of chicken or of roast beef or illamb, a baked potato and one green vegeable and dessert according to what was served for luncheon without sugar or cream. It is understood that this is only a general idea of what s known as an ordinary mixed dlet. If in T will try to give you more detailed suggestions. I am reducing and would like to know if 1 went on a milk diet and ate nothing else if it would hurt m stomach. I lived on whole glasses ¢ skimmed milk each day for four day T am 28, in the best of health and nly overweight somewhat Miss P. R. My first suggestion s to ask whether vou may not he unduly wor ried. Ten per cent Increase over the normal weight for vour height and #ge is perfectly safe. Do mot let your eagerness to have the fashionable fig ure injure vour health. TIf. on the other hand, vou are seriously over weight you must, of course, reduce. Without knowing more about vou I Lesitate to answer your question about the milk diet. In general, I am I not in favor of reducing by the use of A diet limited to any one food only. It is far more sensible to stick to an ordinary mixed diet and cut down the portions of each food. This gives all parts of your body building and reg- ulating material without injuring your health. It your physician has for any reason advised vou to undertake a milk diet it will probably not do you any harm if it is followed for a short period. No one diet “system” is to be fol- lowed by a person in normal health for any length of time The only way in which an exclusive milk diet is likely to be of service is in special cases of digestive disturbance where it is especially healthful. Such cases, however, call for considerable milk. This ould result in just the opposite condition to the one which vou desire, for it would be extremely tattening (Covsright. 1825.) mosquito 1s said by have heen a of the old The malaria some entomologists to factor in the downfall | Egvptian and Greek civilizations. My Neighbor Says: Do not take too thick a paring off potatoes. The best part of the potato is near the skin. On the other hand, parings from turnips should be thick. The turnip has an outer part that destroys the flavor of the whole if not thoroughly removed. A teaspoonful of honey in a cupful of hot milk is one of the best drinks for small children. 1f you break glass on the floor don’t brush it up. Wet a woolen cloth and pat gently. In this way you gather up the smallest slivers without any trouble. A cloth raincoat can be cleaned by rubbing it gently all over with a mixture of ammo- nia and hot water. Then press it with a hot iron on the wrong side. To mend fine lace curtalns starch a plece of mesh as near like the curtain as possible. Cut the starched patch one inch larg er each way than the place to be mended and with a warm iron, press it over the hole. If done carefully it will be difi cult to detect the patches You may remove rust from a stovepipe by rubbinz with lin seed oil (and remember a little soes & great way) and building a slow fire until it is dry. Ofl ing the stovepipe before putting it away will prevent rusting. Should milk boil over on the stove, sprinkle the spot with amount of meat as one part of such a diet unless, of course, there i3 some individual reason against it. What I have in mind is a simple and digestible dlet as the following: For breakfast, fruit juice or cooked strained fruit—sweet apples or prune ulp. Crisp and prepared cereals, akes, puffs or shreds with top milk and no sugar. One main dish such 4s eggs, If they agree, with brofled tomatoes or some other form of fresh yegetable, Crisp dry toast, buttered at the table, coffee with one lump of sugar and hot milk instead of cream. For luncheon a cream of vegetable coup with no meat stock or carefully prepared cheese dish with the cheese finely ground and melted in the hot Fauce, crisp rolls or bread at least 24 hours old with a moderate quantity of butter. dessert of fresh fruit or of cornstarch or junket or tapioca with very little sugwr.

Discusses Elements of Worldly Success What Makes Men Fail? lDorothyDix Men Who Don’t Get On in the World Are Often Misplaced in Their Work, Handicapped by Family Cares, or Kept Back by Temper. MAN savs bitterly I do not gambl “I am sober, moral and Industrious. 1 do not drink 1 work hard. Yet I make a bare living for my family What is the matter with me that I cannot get along in the world a& other men dn?"" There are many reasons why one man succeeds and another fails. are the fault of the individual. Others are not. To make much money a man must have financlal genlus. That is a gift of the gods just as much ax its a tenor volce, or the ability to write, or paint, or act, Nor can a man create in himeelf this talent any more than he could make himself an opera singer, or a poet, or an actor. Some There are men who see pportunities ta which other men are blind, just A% an artist seex beauty in « jects where the layman sees none. There are men who have an instinet for buyving and selling which other men lack, Just as the actor knows intuitively how to touch the well-springs of our laughter and our tears. And we are no more responsible for not being Napoleons of finance than we are for not being John Barrymores. We can fairly blame nature for that. i Then there is the element of luck. It is foolish to deny that chance plays a big part in our affairs. First of all is the luck of being born with what Kipling calls two sides to your head; the luck of having a good, healthy body instead of a sickly one; the luck of being reared by strong, sensible parents, instead of weak, foolish, over-indulgent ones; the luck of marrying a sensible, thrifty wife, Instead of a silly, extravagant one; the luck of making the right friends and getting the right start in life. All of this is chance or fate, as we choose to call it. Tt is something with which we have nothing, or very little, to do. But it decldes our destiny For a man to be born poor and humbly, for him to have no advantages of education and no powerful influence to advance his fortune is not bad luck On the contrary, necessity is a spur that goads men on to success. Many a millionaire began his career on a slag pile. Many a famous inventor, ist. politician was born in a tenement. Rut vou could count on fingers of one hand all of the men who were born 1o riches and high p who have ever achieved anything worthwhile in the world [HEN comes in the personal equation. Many men fail in the wo they are trying do the wrong thing. the thing that naty never intended them to do. They are round pegs in square holes.

They can never rise to any an organization hecause they cannot get along with people. An uncontrolled temper stands between many a brilliant doctor and lawyer and success in his profession. It explains why many a merchant sees customers pass his door to go to his neighbor's. and why many a skilled kman never gets a foreman's job in the shop. A man's famlly has a great deal to do .with his success. The old proverb savs truly that a woman can throw more out of the back door with a teaspoon than a man can put in at the front door with a shovel. No man except the one who is a wizard at money-making can make any headway against an extravagant or wasteful wife. Nor is it easy for A man to succeed who is handicapped by a delicate wife and sickly children. Thousands of men who see themselves passed in the race by men no more Intellizent. no more industrious than they are. know that the reason that they cannot run is because of the crushing family burden‘they bear on their backs. For often it is not only wife and children, but helpless old fathers and mothers, and parasitic sisters and brothers who ruin them Inattention to details, lack of promptness, extravagance, over-induigence of children, keeping up with the neighhors. are other reasons why men do not succeed.
