W OMAN’S PAGE.” Children and Wholesome Food BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. Mothers who have difficulty in get- ting children to eat cectain dishes that are wholesome but for which they have a dislike should try this experiment. It was absolutely successful in one family, and is worth trying. The mother gave the dish an appeal, wuchmg it with a certain glamour by serving it as & spe- _cial treat. At first she would have it THE DAISIES LOOKED GAY ON THE GREEN LEAVES AND APPEALED ‘TO THE LITTLE FOLK. but once a week, then twice, but never more than three times, and then as an “extra special.” The children counted on the days when they were permitted to have the food. Needless to say, the mother started early in this training process. She did not wait for the youngsters to realize that they actually disliked the food. She took care to notice, however, and as soon as there was hesitancy about helpings she ceased to serve it for a time. When she did, she prepared their minds to like it by saying before- hand: “I'm going to have a treat tonight, something I'm sure you will like, but I'm not going to tell you what it is.” She took great care to have the dish attractive in appearance. The dish was epinach. She cooked it with a dash of p ng soda in the boil salted water into which she plunged oughly washed leaves. When they tender she piled them lightly in the dish and served with maitre d'hotel sauce, the recipe for which is here iven. This was in & sauceboat, and on each Klvlnl- 0t elped out. It m trickled through the spinach, ‘To make the dish good to look at the mother hard boiled several eggs and made daisies by cutting the yolks in round slices and the whites in petal- shaped pieces. She placed the yellow flower centers on the rich, green bed of spinach and then arran, the white petals about them in a realistic way. ‘The sight of the'dish was tempting and the flavor delicious, as the butter gave richness, the lemon piquancy and the salt and pepper the correct season- ing. Other dishes she served in equally tempting ways, and so helped her little folk to enjoy food that was for them without ever hinting that this was her reason. Matre d'hotel sauce—Two tablespoon- fuls butter, one tablespoonful parsley very finely chopped, one tablespoonful lemon juice, half teaspoonful salt and one-quarter teaspoonful pepper. Rub the butter to a cream, add the ing and chopped parsley, gradually mix in the lemon juice.

And so, in whizzing, flying planes we go to distant parts; we take | long trips in way trains instead of | ox-arawn carts; our busy motors chug a=d choo where horses once our buggies | drew; the customs that. our fathers knew would break our modern hearts. If we'd let well enough alone, as urged by cautious wight, no man would have his phonograph or radio by night; we'd read our stirring tales of vamps by - smoking, greasy coal oil lamps, or candles would illumine our camps, and not electric light. We'd walk half- way across the map for water, by the pall, instead of turning on a tap to get our Adam’s ale; the luxuries that breed content no prudent fellow would invent, | who kept that motto in his tent, and let its sense prevail. “Let well enough alone” will do for men of sordid aim, who lack the energy to view the road to wealth and fame; but all about us men abound whose joyous battle cries resound, the men who make the wheels go round, who hump and play the game. ‘WALT M.

Probably no stors, thymed though it i, t in the nearts of Rirerican Yesders than. this of the “Adighty Casey’ $%and his base ball bat. It looked extremely rocky for the Mudville nine that day—the score stood 4 to 6 with but an inning left to play. And so, when Cooney died at first, and Burrows did the same, a pallor wreathed the features of the patrons of the game. A struggling few got up to go, leaving there the rest, with that hope that springs eternal within “the human breast. For they thougat if only Casey could get a whack at that, they'd put up even money with Casey at the bat. But Flynn preceded Casey, and lik wise 5o did Blake, and the former was a pudding and the latter was a fake s0 on that stricken multiutde a deat] like silence sat, for there seemed but little chance of Casey's getting to the at. But Flynn let drive a single to the wonderment of all, and the much de- spised Blakey tore the cover off the ball. And when the dust had lifted and they saw what had occurred, there was Blakey su}fledon second and Flynn a hugging third. “;‘g}geng!rom the gladdened multitude *went up a joyous yell. It bounded from the mountain-top and rattled in the dell; it struck upon the hillside, and re- bounded on the flat—for Casey, mighty Casey, was advancing to the bat! ‘There was ease in Casey’s manner as he stepped into his place. There was pride in Casey's bearing and a smile on Casey's face. And when, responding to the cheers, he lightly doffed his hat, no strapger in the crowd could doubt "twas Casey at the bat. Ten thousand eyes were on him as he oo applatded a3 e wiped e on tongues applau as he on his z“shlrt. And while the writhing pitcher gropnd the ball into his hip— defiance gleamed from Casey's eye—a sneer_curled y's lip. And now the leather-covered sphere came hurtling through the air, and Casey stood a-watching it in haughty grandeur there; close by the sturdy batsman the ball unheeded sped— “That hain’t my'style,” said Casey— “Strike one,” the' umpire said. From the bleachers black with peopl there rose a sullen roar, like the beat- ing of the storm wases on a stern and distant shore. ellowness And it's likely they’d have done it had not Casey raised his hand. With a smile of Christian charity great Casey’s visage shone. He stilled the rising tumult, and he bade the game go on; he signaled to the pitcher and again the spheroid flew, but Casey still ig- nored it and the umpire said: “Strike two!” “Fraud!” yelled the maddened thou- sands, and the echo answered, “Fraud.” But one scornful look from Casey and the audience was awed; they saw his face grow stern and cold; they saw his muscles strain, and they knew that Casey would not let the ball go by again. £ ‘The sneer is gone from Casey’s lips; his teeth are clenched with hate. He pounds with cruel violence his bat upon his plate. And now the pitcher holds the ball, and iow he lets it go, and now the air is shattered by the force of y's blow. Oh! Somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining: bright; the band is playing somewhere, hearts are light; and somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout— But there is no joy in Mudville— mighty Casey has struck out! its soft, / smooth entrancing beauty over the years to come.

When -the Pages called in the ;archi- tect they showed him their lot first of all. “We want our house to fit into the lot, not to sit perched on top of it like a hat on an old-time pompadour,” said they. “We want it dignified but not stiff and grand. We think we want it American in general style since we own so many early American things. We don't want the Cape Cod cottage be- cause we expect to make this home a permanent one and we hope to achieve a financial status that will raise us above the cottage. We don’t want the house to be ‘cute’ or tricky, but we want it to be distinguished and just a little different from every house in the allot« ment. And lastly we can't pay much more than $16,000. Now, Mr. Architect, do your stuff.” As he sat there with pencil in hand he drew up a house which he thought might please him. “Now understand, folks, this is not a finished sketch. I am not sure that it can be built for the sum you have set, but roughly speaking it might look something like this. - “The house as I have drawn it sug- gests the French influence somewhat with its steep roof, but it is veally American with its straightforwardness, its shutters and its simple dorways and windows. “Can you see this door with its old brass knocker and its lights above the door proper?

A FATHER. Answer: Listen to what Daniel Defoe wrote many, many years ago about the education of women at.a time when it was thought that a member of. the female sex needed to know nothing but how to,do household tasks and when m h‘elld m:: l:, '&mhgnux [ mhy D:‘nd mke.w her bold and forward and a r hussy ught geography, oe sald: “If her temper be good, want of education makes her soft and easy. Her wit, for want of teaching. makes her impertinent and talkative. Her knowledge, for want of judgment and experience, makes her fanciful and whimsical. “If her temper be bad, want of breeding makes her worse; and she haughty, insolent and loud. If she be passionate, want of manners makes her a termagant and a scold, which is much at one with a lunatic. If she be d, want of discretion (which still is breeding) makes her conceited, fantastic and ridiculous, and from these she degencrates to be turbulent, clamorous, nolsy, nasty, the devil. “And Hherein it is that I take upon me to make such a bold assertion, that all the world is mistaken in their practice about women. For I cannot think that God Almighty ever made them so delicate, so glorious creatures and furnished them with such charms, ‘so agreeable and so delightful to mankind, with souls us;ble of the same accomplishments with men, and all to be only stewards of our houses, cooks and slaves. “Weakness of the women, if women’s souls were refined and improved by teaching, that word would be lost. To say ‘the weakness of the sex as to judg- ment’ would be nonsense, for ignorance and folly would be no more to be found among women than among men. - “And, without partiality, & woman of sense and manners is the finest and most delicate part of- God's creation, the glory of her Maker and the great instance of His singular regard to man, His daring creature to whom He gave the best gift either God could bestow or man receive. And ’tis the sordidest piece of folly and ingratitude in the world to withhold from the sex the due luster which the advantages of education give to the natural beauty of their minds, “A woman well bred and well taught, furnished with the additional accom- plishments of knowledge and behavicr, is a creature without comparison. Her soclety is the emblem of sublimer enjoyments, her person is angelic and her conversation heavenly; she is all softness and sweetness, peace, love, wit and delight. She is every way suitable to the sublimest wish and the man that has :xhkf‘ lc.me to his portion has nothing to do but to rejoice in her and be nkful.” . ‘This answers your question better than I can. To this I can only add that to give a girl a fine education is to make her rich in her own right, to bestow | g upon her a dowry that nothing can take away from her. Furthermore, if there were no other reason for educating women, you would find it in the fact that it makes them so much easier on the eyes. For an intelligent woman can never be really ugly, but a woman who is dull and stupid and ignorant becomes repulsive with age. You can never know how hideous women can be until you see the old woman in the countries where women are utterly illiterate. e DOROTHY DIX. Dlluz MISS DIX: Iam a young man of 22 with a sweet sister of 18 to whom I ant devoted. Just recently she has started out for her wild life and has kept up a terrific pace, and though my mother was fully aware of her actions, yet she made no effort to control “her baby.” Recently I brought my sister home intoxicated from a party and when she was sober enough to understand anything I gave her a talk that put the fear of God into her.. It took hours to put o|\"er the facts to her, and I spared her nothing because I am a fast-stepper myself. I believe in this modern age all big brothers should help their young sisters with good advice. Don't you? Answer: I certainly do, Alfred, and I think your sister is very fortunate in having a brother who recognizes his duty to her and who doesn’t try to pass the buck by saying: *“Am I my sister's keeper?” ‘There are many reasons why a brother can be a better chaperon for a girl than her mother can. In.the first place, he belongs to her generation and he knows just what the flaming youth,of today is doing as her mother cannot possibly know, for young people never tell old.people everything. Also, the brother has been along the road the girl is setting out to travel and he knows where all the hairpin turns are and the places where a girl is likely to skid over the brink unless she goes slowly and carefully, so brother has the information as to.the danger signals. 5 Girls won't listen to what their mothers say because they think that mother is old-fashioned and puritanical and prudish and that she thinks every- thing is wrong that they didn’t do in her day, but they will listen to their brothers because brothers are the last word in being modern. So_sister sits up and takes notice, because she knows that what brother thinks is what all the other young men are thinking. It is pitiful and tragic how little sense of responsibility most thers have toward their sisters. They ‘will calmly stand by and let' sister stumble along the road to destruction without ever trying to stop her. They will even let sisters marry men whom they know to be rotters who will break their hearts as if it were no concern of theirs. 8o, lucky is the girl who has a good brother who keeps an eye on her and wise is she if she listens to his words of advice. DOROTHY DIX. 3 v .. EAR DOROTHY DIX: I have a daughter who is only 14, but she is in love with a young man wino has a good education, is a steady Christian boy and has a fine position. Although the two are madly in love with each other, should I permit them to marry? i MRS. B. W. Answer: Certainly not. It would be a criminal thing to do. Child marriages are not to be justified under any circumstances whatever. No girl of 14 is fitted physically or mentally or morally to take upon herself the obligations of matrimony. No girl of 14 is capable of experiencing real love. What she feels is a childish fancy that will pass and by the time she is old enough to get married she will probably have thought herself in love with half a dozen other boys. Her tastes in men will change and she doesn't know any more what sort of a man she will want for a husband at 20 than she does what sort of a dress she will want. If she gets married now she will be worn out with housework before she is ever old enough to get married. Don’t let her ruin her life by rushing prematurely into marriage. If you can afford it, send the girl away to school or on s visit. Any- where to get her away from the young man and give her a chance to recover from her childish infatuation. In spite of all you say about him, I think he must have very little sense and judgment to want to marry a child of 14. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright, 19%9.)

Gall Bladder Dyspepsia. Invalids or prospective invalids west of the Rockies should have a care where they have a pain., A Spokane internist | |—in case you don't know precisely what an internist is, let me inform you that he is a kind of all-around specialist on pretty much everything except perhaps eczema and poison vy, corns, falling hair and earache—one such versatile specialist out there deposes and says, to wit and as follows, duly recorded in the medical literature: “We should not wait for pain.
