Curtail your meat bill now If you must, eschew canned fruits nnd Jellies, banish elaborate pies and puddings, but take your fill of these (hoicest of nature's gifts. Not that the nutritive, value of the beuy is great, for It Is not. Within its luscious depths lies neither muscle nor llesh-foim-ing elements, yet It refreshes, Its stimu lates, It regulates. The analysis of tho strawberry shows U to be particularly rich In soda salts, WOMEN The Queen Quality Oxfords Are especially popular just now, made in all the newest shapes and styles, and of all kinds of leather. High Shoes $3.00 Oxfords $2.50 & $3. B, Boynton, and in spite of tho high percentage of water (eighteen hundred pounds to each (on of berries) it excels all other common fruits in tho amount of mineral salts. On this account it Is often recommendid to gouty pel sons. It was the sreat Lin naeus who first discovered this pleasant r medy for sciatica nnd his example has been followed ever since. In the south of Germany a pint of milk, with a piece of rye bread and a quarter of a pint of berries taken s. stematleally twice a day is considered an Ideal summer diet and one whose beneliclal effects is soon felt. The simpler method of serving tho strawberry, the better It Is appreciated by real strawberry lovers. Even rich yol low cream Is objeceted to by many as de tracting from tho delicate lluvor of the fruit. While the Ideal service of berries Is fresh front the vines, unhullcd and with stems on, and no washing to dis sipate the sweetness of the fruit; only a favored few are able to compass this guslntorl.il delight. The most of us aro obliged to get our beiries at second or even third hand, and In this case the ber ries must bo wasln d. rut them into a colander, and let cold water run over them gently until all grit Is icmovcd. Drain thoroughly, and arrange them for breakfast on pretty individual plates with stems uppermost, and a little mound of sugar in tho centrn to dip them In. If there Is a strawberry leaf to put on the bottom of the plate, so much prettier Is the effect. Sugar should never be sprinkled over ber ries before serving, as It draws the juices. Strawberry shortcake is prepared In two ways, but In tho minds of those, accus tomed to It in their youth, tho genuine old-fashioned shorlrako made with a rich biscuit crust can never be excelled. Tho cake batter made sweet and ten-, der and tilled and crowned with whole berries, lacks tho characteristic charm of the old .New England strawberry short cake, when the berries were mashed and sweetened, thus furnishing their own rich sauce. When tho cakes baked In layer tins come from the oven they aro buttered ami covered with tho berries or spilt, the fruit piled on tho cut side of each, and one piled above the other. Tho biscuit crust culls for four cups of sifted Hour, one teaspoon ful of salt, three teaspoonfuls baking pow der, one tablospoonful lard and butter mix ed, nnd sufficient sweet milk or water to mako a soft dough. Roll Into sheets about half nn Inch thick and bakes In a hot oven. individual short cakes may lie mada ly making baking powder biscuit of gen erous blze, splitting each, nnd preparing In tho same way on tho large bIzo. If sour cream or rich sour milk Is ob- tnlnnble, a good biscuit crust may bo made, a level teaHpoonful of soda to a laigo cup of the sour cream. If milk Is used, a little more shortening will be needed. With strawberries In season, th Jar of tutti-frutti may bo begun. Put one pound of tho ripe, fresh berries In a stone Jar: add one pound of sugar and n quart of tho best cognac or rum. Set in a cool place, covered until cher ries are ripe. Add a pound of pitted cher ries nnd a pound of sugar. Continue nddlng fruit as It comes In sea son, allowing always a pound of sugar to each pound of fruit. Currants, apri cots, raspberries, pineapples, plums, peach, es and rips pears, peeled, and cut fine, may all bo added. When all tho fruit Is In the jar stir up, cover closely tying paper dipped In brandy over the top, and set In the cellar. Strawberry sattco Is delicious served with cottage or oread puamng or plain boiie4 rice. Heat to a soft light cream one-half cup ful of butter and one cup of sugar. Add n cupful of mashed berries and the whip ped white, of an egg. Tn Bavnrta a nourishing tea is mada for children of dried strawberry leaves. This Is sorved to them with hot milk and sugar. Sole Agent. not rut, Is a frond accompaniment for ber ries at tea or luncheon. When a youn fruit or shade tree stops growing nnd looks us If It were about to give up the struggle for existence, the trouble may oltcn be traceil to Its being bark-bound. In this cne a long pcrpen dleular silt In tho bark will enable It to resume Its natural growth. If caterpillars or worms are at the root of tho trouble, a small hole bored in the trunk, filled with powdered sulphur aril then plugged up will bo found efficacious. A favorite hot weather tonic drink of Washington women sounds worse than it really Is. It goes by the namo of high ball, and although not a temperance bev erage It Is not a specially dangerous tip ple. A glass Is filled over half-full of chipped Ice, to which a tablcspoonful of whisky Is added Then the glass is brimmed with lemon soda. Most Interesting and Instructive read ing for th' farmers' wives (as indeed for all housekeepers), are the reading lesson bulletins issued by the College of Agriculture, Cornell University, Ithaca, N.

While these nie sent free, upon applica tion to all residents of the State, they may also be obtained in other locallll s by a nominal payment to cover postage, etc. The last lesson on "Food for the Farm ers' Family," In which the nutritive con stituents of foods with some suggestion of the energj" they nrc capable of yield ing, wns discussed, was accompanied by a "quiz," in which the following qucs" tlnns were asked: I. What part of this lesson would you like to have further explained? II. Why are green vegetables and roots needed in a healthful diet? III. What is the principle underlying the habit of serving pork with baked beans? IV. In your bill or fare for breakfast this morning', what foods contained pro tcld, what carbo-hydrates ami what fats? V. What are your most perplexing prob lems In preparing a suitable variety of food for your family? A'l. Explain a balanced ration. VII. Will you state what you had for breakfast, dinner nnd supper any one day, that we may form a general idea of the bill of fare In various actions? VIII. Will you suggest a bill of faro for one dnv, which you think will furnish a balanced ration? IX. Will you state a recipe of some dish In the making of which you excel? Each housekeeper returning this quiz with answers will be credited as a mem ber of the Reading Course. In collection with this lesson comes n valunble supplement on the making and care of kitchen-garden, with suggestions for home-made hotbeds, for starting to mato, egg plant, cabbage, caullllower and such other things as need an early start. Among the many practical bints Is tliis: that tho garden should bo conveniently located near the house, not In the front of the lawn, nor prominent along the road side, nor yet In the back lot Tho house keeper visits It frequently; on business, when she hastily picks lettuce or parsley for garnishing; or on pleasure, when she strolls In with the "good man" to see If the sowing of wrinkled peas Is up.
