Good building blocks for the chil- dren, and costing nothing, are the arious sized pieces of blocks to be found around where there is building going on.

Cut the tops off. then gather a narrow piece of ribbon round the tops, sewing it on with a lighter shade of embroldery silk, or you can add a small flaring cuff of the kid that was cut from the top, then add a little bright embroidery to the cuff, or a little bright silk or kid in another color appliqued on.

One Mother Says: My 10-year-old son could not be in- duced to put on an apron to protect his clothes, though he was quite willing to help me in some household tasks.” Then the lucky thought struck me to make him a special brown denim apron on straight lines, and tell him how many men in different trades utilize such garments. He wears it with gusto, and is not ashamed to have it on when his little playmates come in. T have noticed that several other mothers have copled my idea for their boys. (Coyrizht. 1936.)

If one is modest he is inclined to assume less than is his due and to concede more than is the due of others. Modesty also is evidenced by a love for personal cleanliness and neatness of one’s surroundings, as in clothing and the home. An excess of modesty is shown by painful bash- fulness, diffidence or abject humility; by dislike of the attentions and so- clety of the opposite sex, and shrink- ing from notice. Modesty is traceable to the sensi- tiveness of the nerves of the skin. Therefore we shall find that a fine, thin, clear skin is one of the most reliable indexes to the presence of modesty. Fine, smooth, glossy hair is another sign of sensitiveness of the nervous system. he most dependable faclal sign tn detect modesty is found In the upper lip. Examine the depth of the little perpendicular niche or groove which cleaves the upper lip, running vertically from the septum of the nose down through the lip to the red membrane region. This groove is found in all in whom_the brain and nerve systems predom- inate, (Copyright. 1928.) Ginger Tapioca. Soak three tablespoontuls of tap- foca in warm water until thoroughly soft. Add one pint of milk in a double hoiler, a pinch of salt and heat. Beat the volks of two eggs light with two and one-half table- spoonfuls of sugar, pour into the milk and tapioca and cook for five minutes. Beat the whites very stiff and fold into the cooling pudding. When cool add one cupful of diced candied ginger and chill. Serve In tall glasses. Cornmeal Omelet Pour four cupfus of milk over one cupful of cornmeal and let cook slowly for about 40 minutes, stirring often. This can be cooked at night if wanted for breakfast and then heated up again in a_double boiler. When thoroughly cooked, add _the beaten yolks of four eggs and salt to taste. Fold in the stifly beaten whites, pour into a frying pan and cook like a fluffy omelet. Serve at BREAD Gluten Whole Wheat BARKER’S 616 0th N.W. 3128 14th N.W. 1408 Y.

They have also been called offsetting foods. It has been definitely established that it the essential vitamins are not in food, disease and even death will fol- low. There was an eya disease among the war-ridden children of Europe. This was proved to be because chil dren were deprived of vitamin A. This vitamin is present in great abundance in butter fat, cream (both taken from whole milk), in egg yolk, in cod liver oll also niwheat bran and the germs of wheat, in the carrot, the sweet potato, the banana, in hiver and kidne: It is present in abundance in young clover and alfalfa. This is good news for the cows and chickens. But the fact that vitamin A is present in great abundansce in raw, cooked, canned and dried spinach is good news for us. Vitamin B is present In great abundance in the green leafy vege- tables and many fruits; and in whole wheat, unpolished rice and whale corn meal. An absence of this vitamin produces beri beri. A deficiency of vitamin C causes scurvy. This vitamin is very muck affected by heat. The pasteurization of milk destroys its vitamin C con- tent. Cooking most vegetables af- fects vitamin C. Tomatoes are ar outstanding exception. They can be cooked and cooked. Subjecting them to Intense heat leaves vitamin C un- affected. And that makes tomatoes a most valuable addition to the diet This very necessary vitamin C is pres. ent in great abundance in orange: lemons, im raw cabbage, in raw spin ach, in lettuce, in fresh, raw’ pine- apple, in fresh raspberries, in ruta- Be the Best Medicine bagas, In ewede, and, as 1 mentioned above, in tomatoes. Also present, but not to such an extent, in white pota- toes bolled 16 minutes. “When whita potatoes have been bofled one hour the rating of vitamin C is reduced from two plus marks to only 1 plus mark. Now one great argument for nat-| ural whole wheat products is this Whole wheat furnishes the necessary lime, fron. phosphorus and vitamins. As one authority puts it: “We can supply the deficiency found in 5 cents, worth of white floor by buying ’l worth of offsetting lettuce 80 cents, worth of offsetting oranges, 1“ cents, worth of offsetting eggs or s offsetting milk." bread 1a a_daily part of the diet if white bread, which has lost Its min- yral salts and vitamins, is served, a farger proportion of the more ex- pensive offsetting foods will have to be hought. No one wants to live on nothing but whole wheat bread. And it would not be well to cut from the diet the proper supply of milk, eggs, fresh vegetables and fresh fruits They are necessary for health. But more of them will e needed to keep the supply of mineral salts and vita- mins what it should be if white bread and_ other white flour products are freely used.
