WOMA N'S PAGE.' Preparing Foods for Special Diet BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. It falls to the lot of many a house- wife to cook or plan for some member of the family who is on a diet that does not include meat. Not always is this a hardship either to the one preparing the BAKED TUFFED PEPPERS ARE ANI EXCELLENT DISH TO SERVE ON | THE MEATLESS DIET. meatless meals or to the one eating them, yet there are cases where such a schedule is a radical change and re- quires some careful planning along new lines to be entirely satisfactory. meatless diet, in order that it shall not become monotonous. Some main course dishes are suggested, with an eye to the ease with which they are prepared as well as the appetizing qualities which they afford. A Juncheon which has asparagus on toast for its main dish may also include a baked or boiled'potato, the latter with parsley and butter, and have for a relish chili sauce, pickles or olives. Fresh stewed rhubarb takes the place of both relish and dessert, and is highly recom- mended as being seasonable. Some relish is needed with all vegetarian meals. Baked stuffed tomatoes are an excel- lent dish to have on the menu, as also are baked stuffed peppers. The to- matoes can be filled with celery, s soup- con of onion, parsley and breadcrumbs. ‘The peppers are delicious if stuffed with a similar mixture, to which tomato itself is added. Cheese souffle is a dis hdeluxe for the meatless meal and may be followed by a light fruit salad with a French dress- ing or a baked apple may serve for the dessert course. The cheese is 5o hearty that a light dessert or salad is appro- priate. Artichokes, now available at a mod- erate figure, are a substantial and de- licious main course, easily prepared. In addition to boling them until tender, no more work is required than to melt but- ter and combine it with lemon juice for a sauce into which to dip the succulent leaves of this epicurean plant. Fried egg plant is a dish favored by those who are deprived of meat. The slices should be cut some time before using, placed under pressure and dipped in egg and then bread crumbs before frying in shallow fat. No mention has been made of the egg or fish dishes which are permitted on some diets and which simplify t} housewife’s task. Being the first res of the dieting, they are in need of be- ing interspersed with such foods as are herein suggested. One virtue of having to diet is the learning of new dishes which it may happen are wel- come to all of the family and extend the number of foods on the “repetoire” of the menu. (Copyrieht, 1929.)

There is a mental equilibrium and still more im- portant an emotional one. If you are easily upset either in your thinking or your feeling, you are a bit unstable. Stability doesn’'t mean - insensibility; you can easily move a rock, but & rock isn’t a going concern, and you are. Nor can you consider the stability of a top that stands still i.. one spot so longl as it keeps spinning and . then ples. ‘ou've got to keep going -t your job, in your family life and keep growing inside where your thinking and your feeling take roots, and when you get into the daily traffic you must watch your step and keep yoir head. You may lean far out of the vertical as you make sharp turns in your affairs. and yet hold a true course. This mental and emotional equilibrium is no simple matter. On the feeling side it asks you to be calm, but not (as the printer once misspelled it for me) be a clam, nor even an oyster anc retirc within your shell. It's easy enough to be calm when you are indifferent and don't care a hang anyway. You want to care a lot and feel deeply about the important things in life, and be sen- sitive to a lot of things going on about you that make Ilife interesting and worth while. That intensifies the joys even as it deepens the sorrows; but it all makes you grow in mental fitness, if you take it all properly and make the right reactions. It may, however, be that same in- tensity of feeling that ?hys havoc with your thinking, especially the t about your own concerns; and that’s ‘where mentdl equilibrium counts most. Mental balance results from seeing roper weight to each consideration. t's having good judgment. The per- sons you consult fer advice are those whose judgment you trust. We're not considering expert matters like invest- ments, but those general decisions as to what you shall do and where you shall put your energies and the many decisions that even a simple, well or- dered life .demands.

BY HERBERT IT being Spring—in theory only, for the skijes were overcast and the wind was as cold as on any day in Winter— we went to the first major league base ball game of the season in Washington. | Not _alone for the game, but also be- | cause the President and Mrs. Hoover— with a big part of Washington official- | dom—would be present, and we were interested to see | how they take their amusement. As far as the Herbert Hoovers | were con- cerncd, judging from ‘what we ob- served, they take it quietly. Neither the Presi- dent nor the First Lady kept a score card of the game. Hoover sat with his overcoat turned up around his throat and his hands bur- rowed deep-in his overcoat pockets. ‘Mrs. Hoover ap- plauded and smiled when Washington scored or made a good play. Hoover did not. Both proved themselves fans early in the game. Mrs. Hoover had & bag of peanuts in her lap. The President kept his eyes glued on the plate, where no bit of action was lost to him. And they both" remained the full nine in- nings, thereby setting a precedent. Hoover smiled broadly when he threw out the first ball and forced Umpire George Moriarty to jump into the air to catch it, Mrs. Hoover, too, enjoyed the situation and smiled her apprecia- tion of her husband's ability to throw a ball. ‘The First Lady had brought along wraps as added protection from the chilly weather. Before the end of the second inning she had wrapped her knees in a green steamer rug. The third was hardly under way when she bundled a heavy black fur coat over her plum-colored cloth one. The Presi- dent found his gray ulster sufficient. ‘There were four cabinet members in the Hoover party. Secretary Good was the only one who took part in the open- ing ceremonies. Walter Johnson re- quested him to lend assistance in pull- ing the flag to the top of the pole. Secretary Mellon, Secretary Davis and Secretary Hyde lent their presence to the affair. g Mr. Mellon experienced a little diffi- culty in getting into the park. After the President and his party had enter- ed, park officials and police threw a cordon about them. Mellon was cut off for a while, but finally was rescued by Maj. Willis Crittenberger, aide to the tary of War, The Treasury Sec- retary sat ungloved and throughout the game put on and took off a pair of nose glasses watching the plays. Mrs. Charles Francis Adams, wife of the Navy Secretary, appeared to be the only score card keeper. among the cabi- net.group. She noted each play care- fully throughout the game. We saw nobody else who did. Vice President Curtis wore a muffler in addition to his Winter overcoat and watched the game quietly. He, too, ex- perienced a little difficulty before the game started, due to an usher getting seat confused. i PARIS.—Designers seem detennined to get us back into inconvenient, fussy ine.

When the term for which he was elected at the opening of the special | session shall have been concluded, only 3 of the 38 elected Speakers who have record in point of continuous service. He is entering on his third consecutive term. ‘Three only have served four terms as Speaker in direct succession. They were Andrew Stevenson of Virginia, Joseph G. Cannon of Illinois and Champ Clark of Missouri. Henry Clay was six times Speaker, but not more than three terms in sac- cession. Five other Speakers have served three terms continuously. They were Na- thaniel Macon of North Carolina, Schuyler Colfax of Indiana, James G. Blaine of Maine, John G. Carlisle of Kentucky and Frederick H. Gilllett of Massachusetts, Republicans and Democrats alike agree that Longworth has made a go of the speakership because he has ad- hered to the two principles he laid down for himself when first elected. At that time he promised the House he would keep his %eye single to the maintenance in the fullest degree of the dignity and honor of the House and the rights and privileges of its members. He also pledged that there would be no such thing as favoritism in the treatment by the chair of either parties or individuals. . He regards the cordial reception ex- tended him by the Democrats on each occasion of his induction into office as evidence he has been measurably suc- cessful in carrying out the two princi- ples. He also made it plain at that time that he believed it the duty of the Speaker to stand squarely on the plat- form of his party. He went so far as to say that the Speaker should assist, in so far as he properly could, enactment of legis- lation in accord- ance with the prin- ciples of his party and to resist enact- ment of legislation 1in violation thereof. And he points to the unanimous vote he has received both in caucus and in the House from members of his party as proof he has achieved suc- cess in this respect. His friends are almost as numerous on the Democratic side as on the Re- publican. He appreciates both and they appreciate him. Just before the beginning of the presidential campaign last Fall Long- worth made a call at the White House. After his conference with the President he was asked if he had anything to say. His reply to reporters was that there were at least two reasons why he wanted to, see a Republican victory in November—one, that he liked to see the G. O. P. in control of Congress; the other, his disinclination to part with the motor car which is a part of the equipment of the Speaker of the House.

Many foot specialists and others claim that a bunion is caused by fallen arches and is just an enlarged joint. Others claim it is pus beneath the flesh. Which is correct? “MISS L.” Bunions, of general interest? I'll isay they are, Miss L. Bunions, corns | and itching seem to be universal ac- | complishments according to my corre- | spondence. A bunion is an enlargement of the large joint of the great toe. If it be- comes inflamed, pus may form. It is caused by shoes (or even stock- ings) that are too short. It may take only oen pair of shoes.to produce one. They are not infrequently produced in childhood when children have shoes bought for them that do not allow for the growth of their feet. It is very poor economy not to throw away, if you can’t give away, ill-fitting shoes. A bunion may accompany fallen arches, but it is not necessarily caused by them, for many who have fallen arches do not have them, and vice versa. Mild cases of bunions may be cor- rected by wearing shoes that have a straight inner edge and wide enough to give sufficient room. Manipulation and exercise of the offending toe at 'night and the application of a splint, along the inner side of the foot, with the toe strapped to it, may help in these milder cases. Bunion pads may also help. These can be purchased in drugstores. If the case is very marked, an opera- tion is the only rellef.

For one who is very much over- weight, it is not unusual to lose 10 pounds in three days on a liquid diet. You can go on an exclusive skim or buttermilk diet, say seven glasses a day (at 80 C. per glass)—560 C. or you can alternate the milk with fruit juices, or consomme (with no fat, 8 ounces, 25 C.). The milk and baked potato diet is an excellent quick reducing diet for a week, say. One glass of milk is 160 C. and a medium sized potato 100 C., and these taken three times a day would amout to about 780 C. a day. T The Home Owner < 1 paid my rent for 15 years, and wet the money with my tears, as also my wife; the landlord came with pomp- ous tread and took the money for the shed in which I lived my life. I paid enough to buy the shack, and, after digging all this jack, the landlord own- ed it still; no shingle of its roof was mine, no fragment of its tree and vine —which was a bitter pill. It is a grievous thing to buy a house, a pony or a pie, and then not own the same, to keep on digging up the dough, and paying out, while yet you know you play the landlord’s game. “Should you fall sick,” my wife would say, “and fail to draw your weekly pay, whatever would we do? ‘The bailiffs would come up the road and dump us from our chaste abode, and seize our chattels, t0o.” Methinks it was my gladdest day when I decided not to pay the land- lord any more; I bought a cottage low and broad, equipped with patent light- ning rod, and brass knob on the door. The coin’ we used to pay for rent now to the kind old dealer went, as payment on our shack, and in due season all was pald—for any one can make the grade who has the saving knack. For years we held that cottage down, then, mov- ing to another town, we offered it for sale; it brought more money than it cost. so you can figure what we lost by paying landlords kale. The man who owns his dwelling place feels he's a credit to the race, he’s full of honest pride; he is no more a fly-by-night, he is a self-respecting wight, whose worth 1s not denied. WALT MASON.

The more particular our customers are, the more they insist on Bond Bread. And we do serve particular customers—people who can afford to demand the very best of every- thing; discriminating .people who know good food. We have women who are intensely inter- ested in bargains in foodstuffs, but it is in- teresting to notice they always purchase Bond. They know real value when it comes to bread. Then we have housewives who are finicky —and rightly so—about the quality of the food they get. They want the best for the money. They too are steady Bond buyers. Again we have the very particular cus- tomer that wants the best regardless of price. For her we always have Bond Bread. It’s hard to please everybody, but Bond Bread sure seems to please most of our cus- tomers. Our sales have shown that every day from year to year. ‘The reason is simple.
