HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
be a troublesome problem, for, with a
little forethought and planning, a pal-
atable, wholesome meal may be pre-
pared quickly that need not offend the
eye, the palate or the pocketbook.
Many things may be prepared the
night before that will assist greatly
in the preparation and serving of the
morning meal; coffee may be ground
and measured into the percolator;
cold boiled potatoes may be chopped
for hash or for frying; hominy, oat-
meal or rice may be looked over, wash-
ed where necessary, placed in the
double boiler, boiled a few minutes
then placed in the fireless cooker
where the coking process goes on with-
out any further attention. Ingredients
for the griddle cakes, waffles or muff-
ins may be measured out and placed
ready to hand, and eggs and butter
placed conveniently near. Syrup and
cream jugs may be filled, ham or ba-
con sliced and trimmed ready for the
broiler.
If toast is to be served, the bread
may be sliced and placed on the rack,
all ready to be slipped into the oven
and daintily browned quickly and
evenly while we are waiting for the
hash to brown or kettle to boil. Baked
apples or baked apple sauce comes in
nicely for breakfast and is extremely
appetizing and healthful.
We usually manage to have fruit of
some kind, either cooked or fresh, for
breakfast the year 'round. Fried corn
meal or graham mush are old stand-
bys and are quickly fried to a nice
brown, if a tittle milk or a spoonful of
sugar is added to the water when the
mush is being made. By frying quick-
ly the mush is never soggy or greasy.
Serve it piping hot with a little minced
green pepper or parsley sprinkled
over the top.
It requires a deal of care and
thought to prepare a suitable break-
fast when mornings are frosty and
tempers are walking the tight -rope.
The table should be made as neat and
dainty se possible, no haphazard ar-
rangement of dishes or food. The
cloth should be spotless and free from
wrinkles. The food should be tempt-
ingly and daintily arranged on clean
dishes. Leftovers should he thor-
oughly disguised, well seasoned and
daintily served.
Cleanliness and orderliness are two
things that must not be dispensed
with, and a row of happy, smiling
faces around the board ie ample com-
pensation to the careful housemother
for all extra care and forethought re-
quired to prepare and serve such a
tempting meal.

o • . A Little Bird Writes Copy.

said to have, been the worst ever seen
even Ina newspaper office. Perhaps the
beet of the yarns is the following:
There was only one compositor is

9 Greeley's copy, • One day while the
compositor was out a bird had flown
t into the office, walked into some print-
ing ink and then on a number of loose
sheets lying on. the floor.
"Why," said one of theprinters,
picking up a sheet, "'this' looks like the
old -man'e writing." So saying, he
fastened the sheets together and put
them on the absent compositor's ease.
Presently the compositor came back
and with all eyes turner on him picked
up the sheets and to the amazement of.

posed '"Copy."
Presently, however, he hesitated at
a word and asked the man nearest him
what It was,
"How should I know?" was the re-
ply. You know that you alone can
read the old man's writing. Better
ask him."
Reluctantly the baffled compositor
took the sheet to Greeley's sanctum.

Duke of Burgundy was the first
Frenchman to use then. History re-
cords that he hryd two forks, of which
he was very proud. He himself used
one and offered the other to his most

preferred to use their lingers, having a
contempt for the Italian fashion.
At that time loaves wore made
round, and they were cut in slices_,

Have you noticed bow the weather

Doctors are realizing more and
more that changes of weather cause
changes in the human body. They say
that ehnshine Murrain, cold and heat,
are important factors In our health.
The study of the relations between
health and weather -has become a new
science, which is called "climatology."
Different kinds of weather affect dif-
ferent people in different ways, but as
• a rule we feel better when the sun Is
shining, Damp is an enemy of health;
a cool, bracing day a friend. Doctors
. frequently order their patients a
"change of scene," and they are'uow

J g t the benefits of such a
change are greater even than they had
thought, because u change of scene
usually means a change of climate as

moisture in the air, the height above
