Spinach, containi:ig, as it does, a large amount of iron, can scarce- ly he ignored as a valuable spring vegetable dish. Rhubarb is rich in oxalic acid, whieh.does much to tone the sys- tem. Onions contain much nutrition, but are most valued for their pung- ent oil, which is rich in sulphur. Asparagus, cabbage. cauliflower and celery are chiefly valued for their mineral salts and for the bulk, variety and relish they give to the diet. Cabbage contains a great deal of sulphur and for this reason fre- quently causes flatulence, Cauli- flower, which is of the same family, is more easily digested, Celery is said to be more diges- tible cooked than raw. Beets, carrots and parsnips all contain a large percentage of sugar. Carrots and parsnips when young and tender are very nutritious. HINT TO HOUSEWIVES. Bones are not very promising articles for the housekeeper, but unless she deal warily with them much precious nutritive matter will be lost to her establishment. Not only should none be thrown or given away, but the stock prepared for them should be nourishing and ap-• petising. The amount of bone sent with meat must be strictly stipu- lated when meat is bought by con- tract, or otherwise a disproportion- ate amount will bo sent: After the dinner is served there are always bones left un the dishes, for in the case of patients it is usual to crit the meat from the bone bo - fore serving, and this is an economi- cal plan, as the bones can then be made use of. These bones when returned to the kitchen should be carefully looked over, scraps of fat and skin removed, portions of meat retained for made-up dishes, and the bones plated in the sto„k•pot. A jacketed stook -pot is the best, fir it is easy 10 keep it at a steady temperature.. Enough cold water should be used to cover the bones entirely, otherwise they are likely to decompose, and salt shoal i bo added. It requires at ,least five or six hours' slow evoking to 'draw the nourishment from the bones and meat either cooked or uncooked. Vegetables may be added in large pieces and allowed to cools slowly in the Stock; this improves the lia•• vor. Stock thus prepared is most suitable for a foundation for soups and gravies, and very much ark's to their palatability ; ib must net, however, be confounded with fresh - meat stock, which has much more strengthening and stimulating pro- perties. A11 bones can thus be uti- lized, and soup prepared from this stock can be served as required, and makes a pleasant variety, — The Hospital, 1301L CLOTHES IN BLUING.

Chamber -lain and 1'4 1I. MvGulgan. Three men are mentioned as hav- ing a chance to .succeed the late Charles M. Hays as president of the Grand Trunk and Grand Trunk Pacific Railways—Mr. 13. H. Fitz- hugh, first vice-president of the G T.R.,; Mr. 1E. J, Chamberlin, vice-president and general mana- ger of the Grand Trunk Pacific, •and Mr. F. H McGuigan, formerly one of Mr. Hays' right-hand when on the G.T.R. All three,, like their great chief who went<Iowa on the Titanic, are natives of the United States. The best guess for the position is Earl Hopkins Fitzhugh, who stood next to Mr. Hays and who 'had fol- lowed his chief through most of tris career. Mr. Fitzhugh wu•s born in Missouri in 1803, started out as a banker, and then entered the ser - Mr. E. H. Fitzhugh. vice of the St. Loris, Kansas City, and Northern Railway as a clerk. When that road was absorbed by the Wabash he made the acquain- tance of Mr. Hays, and when Hays went to the Grand Trunk he soon sent for Mr. Fitzhugh. The latter came to Toronto as superintendent of the middle division of the, G.T.R., alnd won rapid promotion. He was one of the men brought in by Mr. Hays to galvanize the old road into action, and he helped a whole lot. FITZHUGH RIGHT-HAND MAN. When Mr. Hays left the. G.T.R. to become president of the, Smith - ern Pacific he took Fitzhugh with him, and brought him back when he 'returned to the G.T.R. in Febru- ary, 1902.. in 1904 Mr. Fitzhugh became third vice-president of the G.T•.E., and in 1910, first vice-presi- dent, Last year he was made pres- ident of the Southern and, New Eng- land Railway, a subsidiary com- pany. Jile. Fitzhugh looks like a Southerner. He talks very little, docs not seek publicity, and is eon- sidered a business man of the de liberate and rather conservative type; a quiet. steady, persistent worker; a careful hustler, so to Peak, For some time all depart- ments of the Grand Trunk have, re- ported to Mr. Fitzhugh. 11r.

Cu -operative houaeh;eep:ug, which aims at solving the high cost of liv- ing problem and the servant ques- tionat one etrok•e is being tried by a small group of enterprising peo- ple in Amsterdam, Holland. They have calculated the immense. reduc- tion of costs if, for instance, ten families, instead of having each in dividually ten kitchen Ares burning and ten or more maids 40 cook, and clean them, were to concentrate all their work in one common kitchen and regulate the household business just asIletel managers arrange to provide for their guests. The exper:ment begins in an apartment house built for the pur- pose. The apartments are of vari- ous sizes to accommedate either large families or single men or wo- men. Every one pays a certain amount towards the common house- hold, Every one may send in a list of dishes preferred for each meal with, of course, certain 'limitations as to their costliness. On the whole, Hollanders take fancy, for in domestic individuality they are mere like the Britishers; they like privacy and will not so easily give up their own particular brand of domestic economy for one in common with others. At all events, it will be an interesting ex- periment, for this is the first time in Hu:lard that an entire co -opera- tive household management is tried. Some portions of homekecping like co-operative laundries and co- operative kitchens are already in operation with success. The co-op- ' erative kitchen at The Hague has now flourished for several years, and in 1911 it had to be greatly en- larged b.ecausc ;se many new fam.- Ries. had joined. It nolo occupies observance ,of every minor require- ment of the law. 21. Ye have heard—The command- ments as found in Exod. 20 and Dent. 5 were at stated times and regular intervals read in the public What is saved them through the absence of household worries and conflicts with domestics can scarcely be over-estimated. There is a board of directors of men and women, a woman mans synagogue 'service. ger and a competent staff of cooks.

If preferred, the meals are served in the dinner sets belonging to each family and the dishes are taken into the homes of the participants in elcsed and heat- ed receptacles. From all this it will be seen that by degrees some sort of co-opera- tion in household matters has al- ready been reached and the Am- sterdam experiment i's but a step or two farther on the road to a com- plete co-operative housekeeping. It also premises to be a factor in the further enfranchisement of women from household drudgery. At the same time, it will opco opportuni- ties fur those to whom housework is congenial. the commandments were first given. 22. But I say unto you—Jesus does not correct the ancient.laty, but points out its deeper meaning. At 'the -same time, however, he claims an authority greater than that of Moses.
