If the baby dislikes it and spits it out, | how may one manage to make him take | §t? If the orange is rather sour, may soda be added? Mothers frequently ask | me these questions. Orange juice is imperative in the diet of the bottle baby. It furnishes the | vitamin C element, which is partially or entirely destroyed when milk is pas- | teurized or boiled, and is absent in the canned milks. Orange juice is not im- | perative in the nursing baby's diet for | the first two months, but after that it | is an extremely desirable addition. It contains not only vitamins but min- erals which are valuable aid to a bal- anced diet. One reason why the small baby makes & wry face and spits out his orange juice is because his mother insists that he | take all he will ever need the very first | time. Instead of one small spoonful in | enough water to mask the new taste. | she conscientiously gives him one or two ounces of juice and expects that he will receive it with gusto. Most babies dislike new tastes. They are not yet epicureans on the hunt for | new flavors. They like their nice, warm, | bland, sweet milk, viewing anything different with suspicion and instantly rejecting it. The wary mother keeps this in mind, making the first taste of orange gulce hardly different from his drink of water, then little by little in- creasing the amount of orange juice until baby is fairly lapping it up. “I noticed a discussion of orange juice in your department, and wanted to tell you how I managed it,” Mrs. C. C. con- tributes. “I added a pinch of baking | soda to two tablespoonfuls of orange | Jjuice mixed with two tablespoonfuls of water. Until I learned this wrinkle I had a bad half hour each morning. I hope you will pardon my seeming pre- sumptuousness in offering this, but I have gleaned so much from your column th: thought I might repay it in part. I am happy to have your suggestion. My only fear in printing this very valu- | able contribution is that mothers may overdo that “pinch.” There is some | danger in that. After all, we give orange juice for a purpose, and that purpose is to furnish the baby with this additional vitamin C. That is the chief role played by orange juice in the diet, its contribution of minerals being a secondary part. It is believed that complete neutralization of the acid in orange juice would have a detrimental effect on the vitamin. “Vitamins. are comparatively stable in an acid medium, but less s0 as the neu- tralization point is reached.” It is safe, though, to partially neutralize the acid, and to feed the orange juice immedi- ately after adding the soda. moment my morhing orange juice is so deliciously sweet that I doubt if the | verlest amateur orange juice drinker | could object to it. | To Clean Canvas Shoes. ‘To make a thin, even whitening, dis- solve a tablespoonful of soap flakes in half a pint of water and grate a take of whitening into the solution.

Take it to the hem- stitcher and indicate where you want the work done. Later all you have to do is to cut the material carefully away around the applique design—and that is all there is to it. You may even be so fortunate as to have one of the new home hemstitching machines, which will be a great convenience to you in your home sewing. The design shown here consists of straight lines in a Greek key arrange- ment with the lower lines cut in acute angles. The machine hemstitching is done along all the marked edges and the material between the bands is cut away. The design consists of one short angular band at each side. Then a Greek kcy and angle cesign at either side and in the center two designs each consisting of two Greek keys and an- gular ends. In the French slip from which this design was taken the entire design was about seven and a half inches wide and the bands were about 34 inch wide. A small embroidered circle was made in the square of each Greek key. When this or similar design is used at the top of a slip the line at the top of the design is extended to form the hemstitched hem at the top of the slip. (Copyright. 1931.)

Workers are rushing in and out of the front door bringing in the sweet nectar and the pollen for the bables. The wax-makers hang in a close cluster; so warm do they become that little flat disks of wax ooze from plates on their abdomens. Little wax-workers remove the cakes, chew them and use it to make hexagonal cells. The drones, great lazy fellows, uveither assist in the housework nor go to market; in fact, they even let the women feed them. Their only ambition in life is to marty a princess. | The young bees take care of the baby bees, and with thousands of them cry- ing for food you can imagine how much work is needed to take care of them. The home is kept in perfect order. They fan out the dust along their streets with their wings.

Pushing| their fuzzy heads deep into the cup| of the flower in search of nectar, head is withdrawn covered with pollen; | in visiting the next flower the first pollen is brushed off and mixed with the second pollen. The life of the worker is very short, only a month or two in the busy season. The queen may live five years or more and during that time lay nearly a million eges.

Consomme, 1 can Canned tomatoes, 2 cups. SERVES 5 OR 6 PORTIONS. Boil the spaghetti in salted water until tender. Drain. Melt the butter and in it simmer the onjon slowly for five minutes. Scald the liver, which has been cut in small pieces, in boiling water, drain well and cook slowly in the butter and onion for 20 minutes. Rapid cooking toughens liver. Make a paste of the flour and a little cold water. Add salt and pepper to this paste and blend it into the consomme mixed with the tomatoes. Cook 15 min- utes to make a sauce. Combine this tomato sauce with the spa- ghetti, heat thoroughly, cooking about two minutes. Garnish with the liver and onions. Four chick- en livers could be substituted for the calves’' or lamb’s liver. DIET NOTE. Recipe furnishes starch, protein. Liver rich in copper and iron.

For 30 years | he has sat at his desk in the State De- | partment practically an unchallenged | arbiter on all official social matters.

So inexpen- sive it is used just once, then destroyed. With it go count- less germs. The germs that cause self-infection when carried back to the nose and mouth. The germs that may lead to serious diseases. By using Kleenex instead of handkerchiefs you avoid this danger. Each time you select a new tissue—exqui- sitely clean and fresh, Softer than the oldest linen. Costs less than laundering The use of Kleenex does away with the un- pleasant job of washing handkerchiefs. Sur- prisingly inexpensive, too. Kleenex actually costs less than commercial handkerchiefs.
