By adding a little strained tomato, beef 
broth and any flavoring in the way of 
rolery tops or parsley, an appetizing soup 
rich in protein is bad. 
Popped Corn.—Corn to ))oii well must

ment of popping; that is. do not take ears 
from a dry, warm cupboard and expect 
the kernels to poj) i)erfectly. Well iiopped 
corn eaten in a bowlful of milk makes an 
excellent supper for children. Rut remem- 
lier that popped corn which ha.s sto<xl 24 
hours is quite hard to digest. I.et the 
howl of popped <-orn be folhtwed by a 
rather hearty sweet course, as tajiioca cus¬ 
tard or marmalade sandwiches, or float¬

Bake a good while in a just-right oven. 
Kvery cook must learn- for herself what 
heat her oven needs to turn out a creamy 
Ti<;e pudding. A slow, even heat gives 
best results, and when this plain pudding 
is exactly right no concof;tion of ftggs and 
'butter can equal it. Ktirring occasionally 
is necessary, and the pudding is best when 
partly cool, or, in Summer, just out of the 
ice chest. 
It is not necessary to make mention of 
the meats and vegetables a child naturally 
takes at noon-time meals, for whatever 
the older people have is safe for a healths’^ 
child. Fried meats are not as easily di¬ 
gested, and rich grav.y and heavy pud¬ 
ding and sauces are not suited to a child’s 
needs. Watch the condition of the little 
people’s tongues, bowels and breath, and 
indications of improper feeding will make 
themselves known. A feverish condition 
usually 7neans a deranged stomach, and 
simpler foods must be given. Alarming 
convulsions are often brought on by such 
foods as cucumbers, or scallops, or rich 
pastries eaten of too heartily. See that 
the child keeps its ai)perite for ])lain and 
simple living. AiEKAit RICE. . 
When you make the bed put one or two

This is better than too many comfortables.

Substitute for Coffee

for colTee (page 249), I thought of the 
one nearly evei-yone used during the 
Civil War, and. which was not at that time 
hard to get. That is common field peas; 
they answer every purpose. Take any 
smooth peas free from weevils and put in

Alone in the midst of war’s 
desolation, the telephone line¬ 
man crawls to mend the broken 
wires. 
On all sides the thunder of 
artillery; in the air bursting 
shrapnel. 
He faces danger with that 
unconquerable spirit of war 
service which permits him to 
think only of maintaining the 
telephone connections. 
The safety of the troops de- 
jDends on these lines of commu¬ 
nication, often used for the sen¬ 
tries warnings, the carrying of 
official commands and the sum¬ 
moning of reinforcements. 
In a dark hole hidden among 
sparse brushwood are the tele¬ 
phone operators, some of whom 
have been for months in their 
damp cave ceaselessly swept by 
shells. 
And they are admirable, all 
these heroes of the Signal Corps, 
whether serving in darkness or 
in the all too bright light of day. 
The spirit of war service, over 
here as well as over there, fur¬ 
nishes the nerves, the endur¬ 
ance, the morale—the stuff that 
wins war.
