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 no -appetite trouble will depart. Even after a good breakfast—and most cer- tainly after a poor one 1 --in damp, I83UE No. 45.--'23. A STYLISH "MORNING DRESS" IN SLIP ON STYLE. 4485.

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." " The Shield. God, give me laughter for a buckler, Lest to the blows of Life I yield; When my head. is bowed to prese of foemen, Lord, give me laughter for a shield. • Grant me will to fight, if not to con- quer, Strength to keep my spirit from eclipse And let me hold at midnight and at! noonday The shield of laughter on unshaking There is nom) so stron.g can overcome It' Black rage, red scorn, or serpent guile; Magic lives in weaklieit defences— Even in little twisted smile. . In the dusk and through the murk of conflict, Fighting on against the driving spears, More flags will rally round to laughter Than ever owned the sovereignty of tears. Though I have no armor that is tru,sty, And nothing but a wooden sword to I shall go down. fighting and not craven If Thou, Lord, give laughter for a shield. —Edna Valentine Trapwell. 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."
