FOOD PROBLEMS BY SALLIE MONROE. ~ In making mashed sweet potatoes, either mash them with a masher and add plenty of butter, or else rice them carefully and depend on gravy or butter added at the table to give them the moisture and fat they need. In croquettes they are delicious. Mash the boiled sweet potato and season it well with pepper and salt. Then roll it into balls or other croquette forms, dip in beaten egg and fine crumbs and fry in deep fat. Spanish Tomatoes—Simmer a cup of canned tomatoes, drained of most of their juice, but with enough added to keep them soft, for five minutes with one tablespoonful of sugar. Melt three tablespoonfuls of butter in a saucepan or skillet, add the tomatoes, a salt- spoonful of salt and four beaten eggs. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mix- ture is creamy. Serve on thin slices of hot, buttered whole-wheat bread toast. To Save Hose.

It is unwise to soothe these pains only by local me:sures and to bolster up the child’s courage by telling him he is get- ting to be a big boy and this is just a sign of that growth. This simply post- pones the day when a real cure will re- sult in rapid relief and cure of the pains, If the pains are due to a mild scurvy, they clear up speedily if more vitamin C is introduced into the diet.

Peter Rabbit, sitting under the big brush pile in the Green Forest where Buster Bear was in his long Winter sleep, was thrilled to think that he was actually right in Buster's bed room. Wouldn't you have been? Of course, you would. He was afraid, yet not afraid. Can you understand that? All his life he had been afraid of Buster Bear. That is, he had been afraid to go near Buster. That feeling still per- sisted. Yet in a way he wasn't afraid now, because Buster was asleep in that deep sleep called hibernation, and Peter thought he knew all about that. He had once gone down into Johnny Chuck’s house in the Winter and found Johnny in such a deep sleep that he had appeared as if dead. He knew that Nimbleheels the Jumping Mouse slept t{u’nugh the Winter in just such a deep sleep. “I suppose £11 the Winter sleepers sleep just that way,” thought Peter, as he watched Buster Bear. “I don’t sup: | pose I could wake Buster if I tried. I don’t intend to try though. No, sir, I don't intend to try. It certainly is a queer sleep. When I visited Johnny Chuck that time he wasn't even breath- ing. Anyway I couldn't tell that he was. I'guess they all sleep the same way. What was that?” That was a faint sound that startled Peter so that his eyes were fairly pop- ping out &s he sat motionless staring at the dark mass which was B Bear. That faint sound had been as if some one were breathing, and there was no gne there but Peter and Buster Bear. uld it be that Buster was not so sound asleep as Johnny Chuck had Flower Garden Quilt Pattern Double-Rose. The rose should be done in three shades of pink; deep rose for the cen- ter, very light pink next and pink on the outside. The bud should be done in the two darker shades, and the leaves in two shades of green, the stems in the darker tone. The very narrow stem should be embroidered in six-| strand floss, the same shade as the other stems. Directions: The designs should be ap- | pliqued on fine white muslin or broad- cloth. Cut each block 9 by 12 inches. If the white fabric used as a back- ground is fine enough it may be placed over paper and the pattern traced in the middle of the block in pencil. Otherwise use carbon paper for tracing. First, trace the pattern in the center of the white block. Second, trace the floral design on the different colored materials, allowing for seams for each petal, leaf and stem Third, turn nar- row hems and applique, following traced pattern on white block. Bowls may be appliqgued In any color desired. The narrow stems may be embroidered in six-strand embroidery thread. Applique .

Then very cautiously Peter began to creep away from Buster Bear's bed room. Once under the thick brush he hurried. He wanted to get away from that brush plle, and he wanted to do it in a hurry. That was no place for him. Buster Bear wasn't in any such deep sleep as Johnny Chuck had been. Peter luapefled that this sleep wasn't so very different from regular sleep. Reaching the edge of the brush pile Pemflnlde sure that the way was clear. You should have seen him go then. If Buster Bear had been right at his heels he couldn't have run faster. He was a badly scared Rabbit and he didn't care who knew it. At last, safe in a bramble tangle on’ the edge of the Green Forest, drew a long breath. “I guess,” sald Hos “Tve a/a macrow estape.
