A baby must build his own particular body as well as repair the waste that comes within' his éomparatively un- eventful existence. In this sense, therefore, an infant needs more pro- tein than does an adult. This fact is the reason for the importance of milk in the baby's diet, since protein as contained in milk is best fitted for the baby’s digestion. So far as healthy adults are con- cerned, those who live an average nor- mal existence, the requirement for protein 18 more or less fixed, Time was when it was thought that a spe- cial strain upon an adult body called for an unusual supply of body butld- ing materlal, such as meat, eggs and milk. New dietetics has taught that this is not the cas cial strain comes th tra supply of energy rather than an extra supply of building material. ‘We are 0 apt to think of fruits as sources of body-regulating material that we forget that they also furnish, although to a limited extent, compared to certain other foods, energy. Of the cemmon Summer fruits now in season, the list reads as follows: Strawberries, muskmelons, peaches, lemons, or- anges, blacKberrles, apples, cherries, huckelberries and bananas. These are listed in the order of their energy content. Attention is called to this fact 8o that we may not forget that each food group has a major and a minor use in the body.

Just as an adult finds himself in- capable in very hot weather of “get- ting away” with the type of dinner he would have found palatable in January, so the baby finds his usual generous allotment of food distasteful in warm weather. One must remember that the baby's bottle is his whole day's menu and is the same as meat, potatoes, vege- table, salad and dessert to him. When the temperature is torrid he can’t be blamed for turning away from it in disgust. Instead of forcing the child [ to drink all of his bottled rations, the wise mother will take into account that this but a_temporary distaste and will act ingly. he may allow longer intervals be tween meals.

LAUGHING AROUND THE WORLD WITH IRVIN 8. COBB. That Trained Musical Ear. To that wonderful woman, Nellie Revell, who, by the way, is one of the best story-tellers going at large on this continent, I am indebted for the tale of a distinguished English com- poser who set out with a friend to pay a call in the West End of London. Both men knew the block upon which the object of their search lived, having been there before, but neither could recall the number of the house. To further complicate matters, all the homes along the row had been turned out of the same mold. = “What'll we do?” asked the musi- clan’s friend. He got no answer, for the composer had suddenly left him. The friend followed ecuriously, and saw him go to the first house, brush Ris shoe against the foot-scraper and listen intently. He shook his head and repeated the performance at the next house. From doorstep to doorstep ‘he proceeded, with his wondering companion at his heels. At last he stopped before a house in the middle of the block. “This 1s it,” he announced. “I don’t know the number, but the foot- scraper is in B flat.” (Covyright. 1027.) flavor you love.

HOME NOTES BY JENNY WREN, This alcove occurs in the living room of a very delightful lakeside cottage, One whole end of the living room was laid out to include this al- cove and a very commodious closet at each end. The closets are for the stor- age of clothing, fishing tackle, bed- ding, old magazines, fleld glasses, scrapbooks, butterfly specimens and a thousand other items of the sort that are bound to accumulate around a good-times home. The alcove was merely an afterthought, a way of utilizing the space between the cios- ets, but it proved thoroughly weorth while in its own right. There is a table which fits into the space between the seats when desired, 80 the alcove becomes a breakfast nook. It is also used for lounging and working, and the view of the lake from the windows adds to its attrac- tiveness.

Vervain, Summer {s at its height, I always think, when I begiu to see the vervain lifting its sultry purple spires among the meadow grass and the roadside ways. Strange how few people know vervain when they ses it, though the name is certainly familiar enough to all, Yet our language and our qudlt_lonu are rich in assoclations and legend centerf around the mystic name of verval Some say it was sacred to Oberon; it is known with much certainty that the Druids believed It to be a plant endowments. Sometimes it was called holy plant, sometimes enchanter's plant, depending upon whether the powers of light or dark- ness used it. As for the name ver- n itself, nothing certain can be said. Perhaps the Anglo-Saxon faer fane, or caster out of stones, will suf- fice purely as a guess. But the name that I love best among all the old associations of ver- vain is simpler's jo; Simple it is necessary to remark nowaday were not simpletons but those who gathered simples or medicinal herh Our native vervains are for the mos part far lovelier than those that have strayed here from FEurope—brighter of flower, handsomer in leaf and state- ly stature. Many of the vervains around Washington, though, have spread here by railroads from the prairie States. Ham Puffs. Put enough ham through a_food chopper to fill a quart cup and boil until tender.

It was when Queen Victoria was)One of their sons, John Scott Harri- still twenty years old that she became | son, engaged to and married her cousin, Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg, who was three months her junior. Shortly after Victoria became Queen she made the statement that she did not wish to marry for four years, but she could not ist the charms of the gentle Albert. “Albert’s beauty is most strik- ing,” she wrote, “and he is most ami- able and unaffected; in short, very fas- cinating.” Being a Queen, she had to do the proposing, but Albert knew what was expected of him, and if he did not e perience at first the passionate sent ments toward the Queen that she felt f he really loved his pure- . They were mar- ried after ery brief engagement, nd historians seem to agree with Sir Sidney Lee, who says that “the marriage ~proved throughout its 21 3 duration one of the happiest unions in recorded history.” It was when Sarah Siddons was 20 vears old that she first proved to the world her marvelous ability as an actress, for Sarah Siddons is still re puted to be one of the greatest of all English:speaking actresses. She was born in a Welsh public house called the Shoulder of Mutton—the eldest child of two strolling players. Eleven children followed, through the family continued to wander. When Sarah was still in her teens she fell in love with an actor named William Siddons and because she wanted to marry him instead of a squire who was willing to have her, her parents dismissed young Siddons from their littls com- pany and sent Sarah to work as a lady’s maid. Sarah was a determined voung woman and managed at 18 to get her parents’ consent to her marrfage with the man of her choice. She went on acting, and at twenty found herself suddenly famous, She had managed to “move to tears a party of people of quality who had coms to scoff” at the acting of the poor strolling players, The great Garrick herd of this promising young actress, saw her act, and engaged her to appear at Drury Lane Theater in London. A distinguished twenty-year-old bride was Anna Symmes, who, in 1795, married W. H. Harrison, later Pres- ident of the United States.
