After a Winter in which the hurn- ing of soft coal has become ahmost universal, extra precaution should be taken in order to prevent taking colds In all large cities and towns this sea- son, the atmosphere has been laden with soot, and it is reasonable to suy pose that the membranes of the head and throat have heen taxed by breath- ing air that has carried so much soot in it. Complexions can be kept clear. ed by extra cleansing, but what about your head and throat? Any housekeeper who is using soft coal for heating (and most of must be doing it) will re: how much extra scouring has been needed; and she knows the Spring cleaning Wil bring an unusual amount of ven- tion because of this sooty deposit that has settled upon all the furnish- ings in her home.

Who does not remember the cook book of his grandmother’s time! These old volumes were careful to give everything ‘rom elaborate recipes for wedding cakes to directions for hold- |ing_the admiration of a “gentleman! There have been some more or less justified complaints to the effect that the modern cook book has taken all the romance out of the subject of food preparation. Certainly these efficient { volumes have profited by elimination of the unimportant advice. They are also far more effective because of their { | clear-cut directions for obtaining good ‘results in cookery. It is, however {true that they may be =aid to offer ! somewhat uninspiring reading. Why not substitute for the old-time advice to the lovelorn human inter {est of the modern typo? It is a safe {assumption that the average mother who reads her cook book in terms of health for her husband and_ children will find it far from dull. This mod ern woman has advanced even beyond the intermediate stage, during which | the cook book was used by fluttering females as an aid to concocting dishes that would hold the interest, if not the affection. of the man of the house. The modern wife and mother takes quite a_different view of her job. This woman, then, in turning, over the pages of a well written and well edited cook book, may gain consider- able help for the job. Later she will take time to “try some of the recipes.” Her first reading, however, may be, as we have already pointed storage for new ideas in conserving health One of the standard cook after a brief discussion of cookery processes in general, proceeds to dis- cuss the question of beverages. The | mother who is getting her first sug- gestive outline from her cook book will learn how to prepare tea and | for example, in the modern . S0 that there will be no nful veaction. She will gain several new suggestions for hot breakfast drinks | for the children. While milk should be the basis of these drinks, her cook ! book tells her that prey imsof | cocoa shells, cracked cocoa or coffee afford excellent means of coax- ing unhungry children to take their hot milk at breakfast. “Then the cook book advances to the | questfon of bread making, and the mother will decide how much of the family suppiy of bread she will make and how much she will bus. If she be wise, she will realize that while she should know how to make good bread, muffins, biscuits and cakes, aml while she should serve these occa- sionally by way of variety. her food allowance will “stretch” much farther if the bulk of her bread supply is pur- chased at the local bakery Perhaps enough has been said to in- dicate this more progressive way of how to use a cook book. Use it cer- tainly for what it is, a hand book for the preparation of food. But use it also as the first bit of reading in a course on the subject of nutrition. ntage of using u cook book | in this way will readily he seen by any one who has had training in drawing mental parallels and making mental applications of newly acquired infor mation ppose, for example, that the housewife has just come from a formal Ik on dietetics, She may have tried conscienciously to remen- ber what the lecturer said.

It is an age-old belief that if a man is foxy he will bear some resemblance to a fox, or, if he is courageous and i conscious of power, these traits will | zive him a lionlike appearance. It must_be admitted that there is some foundation for the belief that animal resemblance may be traced among men and women. Have you ever heen talked into in- vesting your savings in a bogus stock scheme, or into lending money to an oily tongued individual who appealed to vour sympathy? If so, then I am almost safe in saying that the man who deceived you had ‘“‘spear tipped ears.’ Persons with this kind of ear will resort to treachery or underhanded dealings., and are therefore not de- pendable: They iwill resort to subter- fuge, to tricks to attain their objec- tives, whether in social or business life.

They were adopted by the new republic on the Baltic Sea in December, 1918, and established by the second article of the constitution in 1920. The flag shown here is the one known as the flag of commerce, which is used in intercourse with other na tions. Red is also the color of field of the coat of arms and of the great flag which represents the gov- nment and the president of the republic. The great flag is unusual in that it is double and the two side: are not alike. Both sides display de vices carried on their standards by the dukes of ancient Lithuania. On the right of the flag and on the present coat of arms of the country, we find the mounted warrior mous as the Lithuanian Knight.: This was the standard the Dukes of Lithuania as least long o as the fourteenth century Duke Jugello, who ruled the country during the lat ter part of that century, was con favorite colof sie PERSONAL HE: BY WILLIAM Overwork and Resistance. a It or ently, custor from overwork more suscepti which term the vietim 1 nd whatever he is men d to understand.
