VI : Tall, slender vases can be cleaned by putting grit or shot into them and shaking well. If the stain is persis tent, pour vinegar in which rock salt has been dissolved into the vase in the proportion of a tablespoon of salt to a half cupful of vinegar. Shake well in the vase and rinse with clear water. " VII Have you tried serving your sup pert on a side porch or out in the yard? It will work wonders. And then have as cooling things to eat as possible, such as lettuce, vcold vegeta bles, iced tea or lemonade, cold fruit and milk and ice cream. Avoid grease as much as possible during the hot weather. VIII If the fruit jars are air full. then it seems the part . of wisdom to buy more jars. It-is much more expensive to buy jars by the dozen thari by the gross,. there some times being as much as 17 cents a dozen saved on quart jars by buying them by the gross. Half a gross of quarts and the same of pints and half pints sound big and are, too, but they will look small next winter in the light of the grocery bill. IX There is something more in a1 well balanced diet than, placing a world of food on the table that each may choose a proper variety. A good farmer would not do this for his cat tle. To obtain the best results, the ood must be chosen according to the needs of the family;. the individ uals must like it and it must be given regularly and when the family needs it. Good feeding means not only pro viding enough good food, but.the en couragement of them to take the food that is best for. them. If 'fried Pork and cowpeas and sweet pota- S5? arwU liked h one Person h vm probably, eat them to the exclus- SLk Jhe ,others no matter how much other food may be on the table. irn h.eJeiwere omitted and substitutes Provided, as chicken, beets, and Irish Potatoes one meal, and egg salad, En nv LPei4Suand rice another, the fam ishes mpted to try the other JlCMhave,not yct rcalIzed the im portance of gopd feeding used in its llTl in.Se U rc(luircs mor study, learnt mtCrest than we have yet each A? aPPreciatc However, if on W t lU Pt tKe following lists to; ltchc,n wal1 and M endeavor Sch '0ne f00d from cach 0UP for an nn?T at Icast once a da SOME COMMON FOODS GROUPED AC- CORDING TO THEIR USES v Group' 2 : Chief Sources of Starch Cereal break, fast Foods Breads Rice Crackers Group 1 : Chief Sources of protein Milk Eggs Lean Meats Fish and Poultry Dried Le- . gumea Group 4 Chief Sources of Mineral Matter and Organic Acids Vegetables and Fruits , Potatoes J Spinach ,' Apples Oranges, etc . ..;: Group 3 ' Chief Sources of Fat Cream 'Butter Bacon Salad OH - Group 5 Chief Sources of Sugar Sugar Simple Candy Plain cake Plain cookies Syrups Not one opportunity are we sroinsr to miss of encouraging the keeping of things that contribute to a well bal anced diet if we belong to a club that sudies foods. I do not mean the ex change of recipes, though that is all right as far as it goes, but rather the comparative value of fresh , milk against canned milk, why green foods "are valuable, something of how much longer it takes to disrest ootatoes baked and potatoes fried in much grease. It is an old story but its very age makes it true. The woman who has an intelligent working knowledge of foods is going to educate her hus band to see that there is a good cow, a fine garden all the year round, an orchard supplying plenty for fresh and canned fruit, nut trees," chickens, etc. If we who have the immediate care of the diet do not realize its vital relation to health, how can we exoect the men to do so? There is much more joy in a man's working to raise good food to keeo his 'familv well than there is in being driven to pay for doctors and medicine after health is gone.' It is a real pleasure to know how exeat a oart our little knowledge of foods means in the economy of national health. What to Do for Prickly Heat "M EARLY everv infant, as well as adult, suffers from oricklv heat in summer. . Prickly heat is an acute engorgement of : sweat glands with obstruction at their outlet. This is caused by heat, either from too'much clothing or by the hot weather of summer, it is a sure sign that the child has been kept too warm. Avoid heavy clothing and flannels, The clothing should be light in weight and of loose texture. The aoolication of cool water, either by tub bath or sponging, affords relief. A sponge Dath of one tablespoon of soda to a gallon of water is helpful. Ointments and salves are of little service, row ders are preferred to lotions. A now der made of equal parts of boracic acid and powdered corn-starch, with a little powdered oxide of zinc, if so desired, is splendid-when dusted free ly over the itching, burning surface several times a day, every hour if necessary. S3. B V Y rHY should you pay 8 cents, 1 0 cents or 25 cents for a small cake of soap that cannot be a particle better than the 5-cent, six-ounce cake of Ivory Soap. Ivory Soap is as mild and as pure as soap can be. It agrees with the skin as well as any "complexion' soap. It is the most pleasant and refreshing soap that ever entered a bathroom.
