THE ONE -DISH MEAL. cold weather a child should always
have a light lunch. A, cup of warm
milk and a buttered biscuit would be
sufficient. That would carry the child
on. to the midday meal.
And if there is any appreciable
interval between a child's return from
school and tea -time, and it stays out
to play for a while, it should be given
a couple of buttered biscuits. Butter-
ed, because the fat in butter is warm-
ing and nourishing.
The child whose clothes get their
warmth from !weight will always be
catching cold. Weighty clothing in-
duces perspiration. A chill is easily
caught, and something more than just
a cold may result. Children should
wear woollen clothing. That has
warmth without undue weight, and—
this is not generally known—wool has
no affinity for damp.
Children who breathe through the
mouth are almost certain to catch
cold. The nostrils are Nature's pro-
vision for breathing. Nose -inhaled
air is warmed before it reaches the
lungs. Taken in through the mouth,
it enters the lungs raw and cold, and
a cold follows.
We hear much nowadays, about the
so-called one -dish meal, the meal
based upon a substantial dish made
up of a combination a meat and vege-
tables, accompanied by bread and
butter, and a green salad with crack-
ers and cheese or a simple dessert,
Such a meal is easily prepared, is
nutritious and appetizing-, and as a
rule may be put together hours in ad-
vance of meal -time.
It is interesting to note that though
most of the recipes used for such com-
bination dishes are the adaptations of
Canadian cooks their origin can gen-
erally be traced to other countries
where the food supply is less abun-
dant than in our own—to China, Italy,
France, Germany and Mexico. It is
highly probable that many of these
savory "messes" were invented by
some frugal housemother who was
ingenious and painstaking enough to
evolve a tempting dish for her family
out of the adds and ends of food ma-
terial on hand—surely a lesson in,
thrift for Canadian housewives.
My family decided that the first of
these recipes tastes like a cross be-
tween chop suey and chile con earne
and have called it:
Spandango—Grease an iron skillet
with butter or dripping, and in this
fry a good-sized, sliced onion. Next
add one pound a ground, lean, raw
meat and brown it, then add an equal
quantity of cooked and drained macar-
oni, and brown it. Now put in a little
grated cheese, and last of all a can of
tomato soup or some fresh or canned
tomatoes. Season the whole with salt,
paprika, a little sugar and mix thor-
oughly. Turn into a casserole and
bake about half an hour. I do not give
exact quantities for this dish, as in-
gredients may be combined according
to taste or to materials on hand. How-
ever, care should be taken not to .se
an excess of fat for frying or an over -
proportion of cheese, as this will sep-
arate and rise to the top and spoil
the palatability of the dish. If fresh
or canned tomatoes are substituted
for the soup, more seasoning should
be added, including a dash of ground
mixed -spice, to take the place .of the
high seasoning in the soup. The suc-
cess of this dish depends upon its
piquant flavor.
Baked hog's head—Skin a hog's
head, saw off the snout, saw the head
In two, and saw out the jaw -bones in
erder to remove the teeth and all evi-
dences of them. Put the head to soak
in cold salt water and let it stand in
this for several hours; then wash
thoroughly in three or four clear
waters and drain. Season with salt
and black pepper, and dust over the
flesh side with fine crumbs. Place in
a covered roaster to bake for about
two hours, adding potatoes, sliced car-
rots and turnips and whole onions
when the meat is about half done.
'Uncover in time to brown the meat,
drain fat from the pan, and thicken
juices for gravy. Arrange vegetables
on the platter about the meat and
serve the gravy in a separate dish.
Have the oven very hot at the start.
Baked ham and eggs—Butter a bak-
ing dish and put in a layer of ground
cooked ham, then one of finely ehop-
ped hard-boiled eggs; cover with a
thick white sauce made by cooking
together one tablespoonful of flour,
one tablespoonful of butter and one
cupful of milk, -seasoned with salt and
pepper. Put in alternate layers of
ham, eggs and -white sauce until the
baking dish is full, taking care to
liave the sauce last. Top with fine
bread crumbs and bake to a golden
brown. This dish is hearty and nour-
ishing, and offers a different way of
serving eggs.—Mrs. A. B. Dunn.•
CUT OUT COLDS.
Many mothers dread the autumn
and winter naonths because "the chil-
dren are sure to get their usual bad
colds."
Colds, of course, arise from various
causes, but not all inothers appreciate
the significance of the following "cold"
facts, '
A hungry child is extremely suscep-
tible to cold. With tact, beeause it is
never wise to force a child to eat—it
should be seen that every child has
a good breakfast, and that is best ac -
Nang ihed not by cajolery or threats,
but by variety of food.
There is a monotenous, appetite-
ehecking sameness in many children's
breakfasts. Vary the menu, and the

tainly after a poor one 1 --in damp,

FIVE DOLLARS' WORTH OF ZINC
"I have five dollars to spend on my
kitchen. How would you suggest rny
spen it?" a young country house-
wife asked of an older and more ex-
perienced friend.
"I'd spend every cent of it for sheet'
zinc," answered the older woman un-
hesitatingly. "One of the biggest
problems I have encountered in an old
kitchen such as yours is the endless
cleaning without ever obtaining the
effect of cleanliness.
"Zinc is easy to clean—just a sweep
with a damp cloth is about all that is
needed. It does not rust. It is sani-
tary. It looks clean. It wears in-
defluitely. The family handy-rnan can
cut and fasten it in place,
"Cover the old wood draining board
that is such an annoyance and so hard
to keep clean. Rave a strip along
the wall back of the sink.
"Line the cover of the box drain
with zinc and there will never be any
problem of spattexed or water -soaked
wood.
"Widen the sill to the high window
by means of a shelf and cover it w:th
zinc; this makes an ideal place for
cooling pies and other foods.
"A zinc cover will make your old
work table as 'workable,' if not as
beautiful, as an expeasive enameled
and porcelain affair at a high price.
Knives will not injure nor hot dishes
snar its surface. I
"If :there are any pieces left I'd
cover a drop shelf or a small table to
be used near the stove. /
"New wood freshly finished with
paint or varnish may prove satisfac-
tory for a time in the kitchen. But
when these accessories have become
shrunkeri• and seamed and water..
soaked they are not only an annoy-
ance but are positively insanitary.
Five dollars' worth of sheet zinc will
give them a surface that looks and
is clean and may easily be kept clean,
to the lasting joy of the careful
housekeeper."

Paid in Cabbages.
With the present fluctuating ex-
change in Germany many tradesmen
and professional men refuse to take
money, and are asking for accounts
to be settled in kind.
Even the doctors, most conserva-
tive of professional men, have now
adopted this systera. Here Is the
tariff of a physician in one German
town.:
For a consultation during the day:
One large loaf. For a consultation at
night: Two , large loaves. For an X-
ray examination: Thirty loaves.
A farmer who had broken his leg ,
and called in this doctor was charged '
two • pounds of butter, twenty eggs,
and a cabbage. For a case ef rheu-
matism, however, a sack of potatoes
was considered sufficient remunera-
tion.
The nature of the goods demanded
varies according to the trade of the
patient. Thus, a butcher le asked for
meat, while a draper pays his bill in
cloth. But what happens when the
medico visits the ice -man in the mid-
dle of winter we are not told!
Painting the Lily.
The color of cut flowers may be
altered to almost any desired hue in
a remarkably short time by placing
them in colored water.
'For instance, if a drop or two of
red ink is dropped into the water in
a vase where white lilies are stand-
ing, they will turn red. But, although
a white lily, 'colored pink, -blue, or
purple, may be an interesting novelty,
to the artistic mind it is probably not
a particularly attractive one.
Even when grown in soil, some
flowers can have, their colors changed
or modified by the addition of some-
thing or other to the plant's diet. A
good example of this is the popular
hydrangea, the color of which can be
changed from pink to blue by adding
alum to the soil.
"
NOT WEATHER-WISE.
"He said he was laying up money
for a rainy day."
"And got fooled by the first little
shower that came along,"
