Proper. Care for the Best China BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. It is the privilege of most house- wives to have at least a few pleces of fine china. Some there are who have a great many. The feature of today’s article has not so much to do with the MARY - E ~ If the china appears on our tables dally, it has very great wear and tear unless we are careful to protect it. Different kinds of china have differ- ent degrees of brittleness. That is something one should inquire about in purchasing. Sometimes less expensive china has to be replenished so often that it costs more in the end than the china that is more durable and costs more at the start. But there is no kind of china that will withstand rough usage without showing it. A dish that is chipped at the edges is a reminder of carelessness every time it is used. Also it is un- sightly and detracts from the appear- ance of the table. To Prevent Chipping. Since chipping at the edges is one of the most common misfortunes that befalls china dishes, it is one of the first to be met with a solution. Clip- ping of dishes is usually the result of the way the dishes are placed to dry. The most successful precaution one can take is to have a tea towel over the board or drainer where they are placed to be wiped. This protects the edges of the dishes from sudden con- tact with a hard surface. It Is a very simple and easy thing to do. A rather heavy towel is best. One can have a small Turkish towel kept for this very purpose. After the dishes are wiped it can be wrung out and dried ready for the next washing. ‘Washing. Dishes should be washed in clear or slightly soapy warm water and rinsed with hot. China will stand a much higher degree of wet heat than it will dry. Dry heat brings cracks into fine china. Too much oven heat will ruin the kaolin and perhaps crackle the glaze. Be careful, in warming the china dishes before putting the foods into them, that they are not damaged by remalning too long in a hot oven. Some housewives prefer to run hot water over the serving dishes to put- ting them in the oven for this purpose. Household Rite. In our grandmother’s day the wi ing of the best china was not relegat- ed to the maid. There was something GREAT CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN IN THE WASHING OF FINE]| CHINA. | amount of fine china at one’s disposal | as to the care given what one has. °| There is quite a tendency at the | present time to use good things rather than hoard them.

Often the pan of suds would be ‘taken to the dining room by the maid. There the mistress would have a prepared place for it on the end of the dining table. Soft cloths were in readiness and the washing of the fine pleces proceeded- in- becoming fashion. If some of.the pieces cherished by them are now in our possession we are in deed fortunate and should show our appreciation of the things they prized in ways of which they would approve.

This 1s due, first, to the vast amount of ynisinformation which the laity has already acquired through the pioneer | activities of the quacks and crooks, and, second, to the difference of the tongue. the doctor's language being unintelligible to the layman until 1t is interpreted, and the lavman’s lan guage being very misleading to the loctor, unless it is discounted.

When I flatter myself on the Iucidity_of my explanation some | layman fs likely to puncture my ped- | =ogic pride by asking me to explain the explanation. For example 1 As an old reader and an ardent ! admirer of your teachings, I confess 1 am sometimes a little confused, or is | it that I am too dull to see the point? | Anvhow. T am struggling at present | with vour various allusions to cod liver oil, which.

D. light on the question, it you will be so good to yours faithfully Itgls true, 1 have recommended plain cod liver ofl for all of the con- ditlons mentioned and then some, and in every instance I endeavored to ex- plain why cod liver ol was advisable. but. as I said before, T have not vet mastered the layman’s language. Plain cod liver ofl seems to be the richest of all known food or medicinal substances in some unidentified but essential factor called a vitamin, which prevents rickets. Considerable experimental evidence and clinical ex- perfence seems to show that this vitamin helps to maintain natural re- sistence against certain upper respira- tory infections, of which sinusitis and middle ear suppuration (running ear) are common effects and the more acute respiratory Infections in chil dren familiar examples. Constipation in young Infants ix a common fea- ture of early rickets, and bow-legged ness in young children s generally an expression of rickets. This same fat soluble or antirach- itic factor or vitamin, which cod liver oll provides, probably has considerable to do with the growth and develop- ment of the body, and that is why cod liver oll helps many skinny young persons to put on needed flesh, out of all proportion with the mere food value of the ofl as fat.

Peter thought of Whitefoot the Wood Mouse nd how Whitefoot sometimes made his home up in a i 1 tree. Could it be that Ruddy did the same thing? On the other hand, Ruddy’s nearest cousin, Danny Meadow Mouse, seldom did much climbing and nearly always built his home in the ground or sometimes in the ground. Could it be that Ruddy did as Danny did? 1t was right then that Peter realized that he didn’t know where to look. He hegan by looking in all the stumps and dead trees for holes. He found several, but he had no way of climbing up to those holes and look: ing in them. You know, Peter cannot climb. So he was no wiser than be- for “It's of no use for me to look up in trees or stumps,” muttered Peter. “If his home is up in one of those places I certainly can't find it. But if it isn’t up in a tree or stump I ought to be able to find it." So then Peter began to look around |on the ground. He poked his In quisitive littie- nose into all sorts of places. Every mow and then he would find a little hole in the ground-—a hole just_about big enough for Ruddy to in. That put a new idea into % er’'s head. He made un his mind right then and there that Ruddy’s home was in the ground, and that that was why he couldn’t find it. So then he decided to watch those little holes that_he found. He had a feel ing that Ruddy would put hix head out to look around. So Peter sat where he could watch ona of those i holes. After while, nothing having happened, he grew tired. Then he moved to another little hole and did the same thing So in turn he watched all those little holes. But despite all his watching he saw noth ing_of Ruddy ““Well,” =aid Peter at last, T guess I'll wait until some other day to call on Ruddy.” “That's too bad,’ little voice. ‘Td call on me today Peter whirled around.
