The balance in money is best effect- ed by distributing the costs as follows: When the meat is expensive such as Tilustrations by Mary Foley.

Vege- tables that are in the height of their season may be stated as correct to in- sure little outlay and best quality. | When meat is the major cost, not only | may vegetables be low priced, but des | serts should be simple and inexpensive | also. When the chief outlay is in vege- tables, then the meat should be & | cheap’ cut, deliciously prepared. Vege- tables that are out of season, or which are early or very late, bring their high- est prices., They also give a note of | lusury to o meal, a note which because | it costs must be balanced by some ar- | ticle or articles which are not expensive. A ragout, a casserole or scalloped meat dish, can be deliclous at small cost. A dessert_of moderate sum can supple- ment this meal and the monetary bal- ance be equable. A word about desserts and their place in the expense of a meal may be in | order. There are times when a home- maker provides a dessert which has to |be reckoned as expensive. Then to | keep her food scale of costs similar for meals, she may decrease the amount spent on meat or on vegetables. In dis- " | tributing costs as suggested and fol- |lowed by many housewives, the nour- | ishing elements must be sustained. Both cost balance and sustenance balance | must be kept for good results.

Infant Often Hungry. The old alibi of colic when the baby cries is responsible for more persistent underfeeding than one likes to realize. A baby must be most miserably fed be- fore he develops colic, and few modern babies, who receive food only every three or four hours, have any chance to develop colic. It was the old-fash- joned baby, fed every time he so much as peeped, who had ample opportunity to scream from indigestion. Modern babies, we must admit, are | far more oiten underfed than overfed, and conscquently cry from hunger rather than colic. Mrs. C. F. B. hangs to that old-time exduse. She writes. "My baby is 10 weeks old and_cries incessantly as if from hunger. I feed him three ounces . .milk, two of water, and one-hall easpoon of maltose every 4 hours—at 6. 10, 2, 6 and 10 at night. After h~ finishes drinking. he will ery as if still hungry. He cries before his feeding hour. As he is a colicky baby I do not | want to overfeed him.’ But he lost a | pound. He weighed 121, last week and now weighs only 11';. He weighed 713 | at birth. Also at night he cannot | Sleep unless he lies on his stomach. Is | this harmful? I give him tomato julce, as this keeps his bowels open better | than orange juice. | cod liver oil. His hands and feet are generally cold. What causes this? I dress him in plenty of clothes.” Probably the baby was overfed the first two and one-hal{ months, as he gained slightly better than the average | baby, but it is ‘certain that he is not | erying from colic with a formula of 15 ounces of milk, 10 of water and less than one tablespoon of maltose. All | that you need to do to end the baby's diccomfort and incessant crying is to | give him enough food to satisfy him. He should have at least 18 ounces of milk daily, 9 ounces of water and three level tablespoons of maltose. This milk should be boiled, then measured, the sugar dissolved in the boiled water. and the whole mixed together. Put this into the five bottles and I doubt if baby will scream for more when he has finished. If he does, increase the amount of milk by one ounce more. The loss of a pound in one weck, coupled with his obvious unhappiness | and inability to sleep, should have warned you that he must be underfed. Orange juice is preferable to tomato juice, T think, and the bowels won't nced artificial aid when the diet is suf- ficient. You don't need cold liver oil during these hot months, either. Just see that baby has a sun bath early in | the morning. During the hot weather | he should wear a cotton band and' per- | haps a cotton shirt. dianer, and cotton 1slock1ngs. Shirt and hose can be dis- carded when the temperature soars. | I hope you have sent for and re- | ceived the leaflets by this time. You | should have the leaflets on infant feed- !ings and milk formulas. ‘Try Domino 'Old.

Should he bite a bird or an insect, it would die.

You can easily iden- tify her by the bright red hour glass on her black back. Spiders are friends and not foes. They keep down the hordes of tiny in- sects and bugs which annoy us. They have a bad reputation, which they do not deserve. They are easily tamed and will come and take food from your hand. They live to the ripe old age of 10 years. In fact, it takes them years really to grow up and many a mother, after weaving a satin cradle for her babies, never lives to see them. The tarantula suitor dances before the lady of his choice, as do many of the spiders. Sometimes it is love at first sight; then again she falls for his charms as the dancing goes on: again, <he takes a violent dislike to him and his antics and he has to flee for his life. The mother weaves a silken robe in which to lay her eggs. then with her feet she gathers up the corners and fashions it into a purse.

Her feet are held close together. For several days she does not take food. Many {twists and pulls are necessary to cause |the old skin to split. Finally it opens i down the center of the abdomen and | shrinks away. Then the leggins are! finally discarded. If a leg or two is lost some time before the time of molt- ing. the owner will grow a fine new cne; if too near the molting time, only stumps will be the result. When it is eating heavy-armored in- seets, like the cockroach, you can hear tne crunching of the shell, and, should you be close enough to see him eating, you would be surprised to see him hold- {ing the food in his front fcet and push- ing the food into his jaws like a very | greedy person with bad table manners. Their eight long legs look like strands of chenille. Their hair covering the body is soft and silky. Sometimes it is {dark brown and scmetimes black.

If oné were asked to name the most puzaling of all the riddles of mind one would not hesitate long in naming fear. Some psychologists have tried to soive the riddle of fear by making crude comparisons of fear with com- monplace objects. For instance, the mansion of the mind is sald to con- tain many compartments and then fear is said to be the living room of the mansion. This sounds well, but it explains nothing. Lately it hss been demonstrated that fear is not so much like a roont in a mansion as it is like a drug. Of all drugs atropin most closely resembles the emotion of fear in its effect on the body. Take even the 1/100th grain of atropin and the pupils dilate, the heartbeats increase, digestion is altered, perspiration insues, the breathing re- flexes are modified, the blood supply is changed and you experience a dry feeling in the roof of the mouth. You act, look and feel as if you were afraid. ‘The conclusion is that fear releases a drug thaq very much resembles atropin. The important conclusion is this: When you fear something you do not fear it in the mind, but in every tissue of the body. If the main mansion of the mind is | & drug factory the day may come when psychology will be known as a branch of chemistry. (Copyright, 1931), Lemonade.
