THOUGHT FOR THE INVALID.
Invalid cooking is a most impor
tant and interesting subject, and one
which '.emands a
knowledge o? die
tetics as well as
taste, tact and pa
tience.
First and fore
most in dealing
.-ith an invalid we
m u > . remember
that he is out of balance mentally as
tren as physically. In the days of
convalescence, when ife is beginning
.o be worth while, the small things
.of every day will interest anC little
things will irritate, which would never
be noticed in health.
It lr not necessary lo mention that
the tray should br . nmaculate in
'Its appointments, nc matter how sim
ple, as are all other things about an
invalid. WLei.. laundry needs to
be considered, .here are any number
a pretty paper napkins hich can be
bought in . !erent designs and col
ors For x child the bright, colors
will oe interesting and a variety will
be r source ox entertainment. In
case of infectious diseases paper nap
kins are quit a necessity. The small
paper cases, too, may be used for a
'tiny custard or bit of dessert.
A flower or two on the tray will be
anost welcome. The tiny vases which
bold a small bunch of violets or a
cingle rose are well adapted for use
on * tray.
Set the tray as carefully as a place
is laid at the table, and in the same
order. A small pot of steaming tea
which may be poured by the invalid
rfs an item to be remembered.
Never ask a patient what he would
lite to eat or drink. Let his food be
a surprise, as it will taste better.
Do not watch every mouthful he
eats, for some people do not enjoy
i tho sensation. Do not serve fried
Hoods to a sick person, nor food in
any large quantity. It is much bet
?ter for them to want more than be
j surfeited at the sight of too much,
?Twice baked bread should be served
with the broths and neef juices.
Sponge cake is the only desirable
kind to serve.
Sjj Cocoa is better than chocolate, un
less the patient needs the fat, and is
LaMe to take care of it
" " . nothing stings
rWed liver out of its monotony
Of richness like a root of fennel,
chopped
Jlse with the parsley.

"And later on, after the nations have
decided to settle down and act de
cently among themselves, we'll tak6
you to Germany and Paris, Mildred,
and you can finish up there on your
harmony and whatever you may need.
Father says he won't stint you one
particle. You know how he is cnce
he takes hold of an idea. Hear me,
Mildred?"
"Yes'm," answered Mildred passive
ly, regarding the lake shore drive and
gray iake waters beyond without in
terest. She was a tall, slender girl, j
who gave the impression of being over
grown, probably because she was
dressed too young even for eighteen.
She hated the future and the plunging
around in search of the best teachers.
"I suppose we ought to run down
home for a few days," went on Mrs.
Tankerville happily. "Your grand
mother'll expect us. You can get
back in time for your January course
all right.
Mildred said nothing. Her dark
blue eyes were gray with anger. No
body knew how she had always re
belled against being a genius.
Her father had owned the Sioux
Rapids City bank back home, and had
given up his active share in it just as
soon as the family was sure of Mil
dred's marvelous powers.
"I've worked hard all my life," he
had said comfortably, "and now
mother and I'll jog around the world
with the little girl and give her a
chance."
"But I don't want to go, father," Mil
dred had declared tearfully, even at
thirteen. "I don't want to study so
hard. I love home."
"Well, you can come back to it
some day, and there'll be the town
band to the depot to welcome you,
end the mayor with a speech of wel
come," he had laughed at her. "Kid
die, you don't know what it means to
reach middle life and find you've not
had a chance to make a single dream
come true. That was me. I wanted
to be a great musician. Well, we were
country folks, and a large family,
down in Kansas, and I went out to
work, herding cattle on my uncle's
ranch. Not much chance there for
musical study, was there, unless I
read the notes of the heavens by night,
and caught the music of the spheres.
Then I met your mother, and she was j
from Chicago. All she wanted me to
do was get rich Just as quick as I
could, and I did. She's satisfied, but
you came into the world with the love
of harmony in you. and, by the ever
lasting jimlny crickets, you're going j
to have all you can swallow of what
I mls?ed."
So for four vears Mildred was trot
ted around from city to city in the
new world and parts of the old. seek
ing the perfect teacher for her music,
e.nd always with the memory of the j
'ittle home town warm in her heart
and o<" one boy sweetheart there who
had asked for a 'eek of her hair and a |
post card now and then.
They had spent the last year In \
New York, and now nad stopped over i
?t Aunt Anna's in Chicago. After the i
drive. Mildred followed her mother up j
?he steps of the big. gray stone house.
Ther*' would be guests for dinner, and
she vould h?.ve to play. She set her
teeth and went into the shadowy hall, i
Her father was standing in the recep
tion room, talking and laughing with
somebody and the mere sound of that j
somebody's voice sent the blood rac
lng to her cheeks.
"You remember Hal, Mildred, of
course." her father said. "Little Hal j
Thurber-used to live in the old white
house back in the pines below the
cnurch "
' T remember." Mildred said, looking
Into Hal's eager eves. "T never for
get anything or anyone back home.'
Aunt Anna's face was radiant. She
was Mr. Tankervillo's sister, and to
her Mildred was never a possible
genius-just a dear lovable girl at the
mercy of h?r oarents' loving kindness.
She invited Hal to luncheon the next
day. and ordered him to take Mildred
out for a walk up the drive every
morning to pet the color in her cheeks.
Lunch time came and passed with
out the two returning. By five. Then
the early winter twilight fell, Mrs.
Tankerville was ready to 'phone tne
police, but her si<;t?r-in-law held her
hnck ulacidlv. It.was not until seven,
when dinner was served, that she
sprung rhe news at the dinner table,
beaming happilv on the others.
"Nov. ? suppose you'll blame me ter
ribly, but I couldn't help it. H9I asked
you the first, day he came, didn't he,
N'^d. fer .Mildred's hand in marriage,
and vou told him she was dedicated to
her music? So T think you deserve
everything. They wore married."
Airs. Tankerville cried softly into
her napkin. Her husband stared down
the table at his sister's happy face,
and his own cleared. He raised his
glass.
'God bless them Doth, anyway.'' he
said. "I guess i've been an old fool,
eh. motner? Stop your crying ana
help me fix up a olegram for tnem
that will make them nappy."

CABBAGE IN VARIED FORMS
Vegetable That ls Usually Considered
Somewhat P?ebeian Has Many
Possibilities.
Cabbage has not a very good reputa
tion among some people, and it is a
stand-by winter vegetable of thousands
of others. Even for the fastidious
taste there are delicious ways of cook
ing cabbage, and in salad it can also
be used with appetizing results.
Chop a small head of cabbage, re
moving the heart. Put three table
spoonfuls of butter in a frying pan,
and two tablespoonful of flour, and
turn in the cabbage after the butter
and flour are well blended, then pour
on gradually a cupful of milk. Bring
to the boiling point and add two tea
spoonfuls of salt, a few dashes of pep
per, mix thoroughly and cover tightly
and cook forty minutes on the back of
the range. About five cupfuls of cab
bage are used for the other ingredi
ents. All vegetarians will relish this
toothsome dish. Its flavor is delicate
and delightful.
Baked Cabbage.-Soak cabbage one
hour in cold water, then boil ten min
utes after cutting in good sized pieces.
Place in a baking dish and cover with
one tablespoonful of butter, one of
flour and one cupful of milk. Salt and
pepper to taste. Cover with bread
crumbs and bake one hour.
Creamed Cabbage.-Soak a cabbage
for hali an hour in cold water, then
trim it and cut it In eighths, and drop
it into a saucepan of boiling salted
water. Add a clove and a whole onion
and cook until tender. Remove the
onion, drain the cabbage and chop it
fine. Fut in a saucepan with a table
spoonful of butter and slowly add
three tablespoonfuls of cream. Heat
thoroughly, season with pepper and
salt and serve.
USES FOR PARAFFIN PAPER
Cheap Article Which lt Will Be Found
Economical to Keep Supply
on Hand.
Paraffin paper costs only about five
cents or ten cents for a big roll, and I
try to keep some on hand always.
Besides being fine for lining almost
every kind of a mold from cake to ice
cream, it's also good to use inside a
dish in which fish, like salmon loaf or
some other souffle dish, is being
cooked. It's easy to remove-and, joy
of joys-as you throw away the par
affin paper you throw away the fish
aroma which makes the washing of
fish utensils so odious.
Then it's also good to use to wrap
around foods before placing them in
the ice box. Of course, I cover almost
all foods with the cover that comes
with the dish. But what can you U3e
to cover a roast that has been cooked?
I haven't a dish cover of any kind
that's large enough or shaped right
to do this. Answer, I wrap it in a
little paraffin paper dress. The paraf
fin doesn't absorb the juices as tissue
paper would, and it keeps away odors
of other foods. In fact, a little sheet
cf paraffin paner cnn be used to cover
any dish in the rDfrigsrator in lieu of
any other kind of cover, and it is a
sure protector against the dish ab
sorbing odors from neighboring foods.
-Exchange.
Beefsteak Chowder.
Cut slice of salt pork into small lots,
with one onion minced fine; cook un
til a nice brown; add one quart of
boiling water, let simmer five minutes,
then add one nound round steak cut
into strips one-half-inch thick and two
inches long: bring this quickly to a
boil, then simmer until the meat Is
tender; add four or five pared and
sliced potatoes, season with salt and
pepper, add more boiling water and
when potatoes are tender add one and
one-half cupfuls of good rich milk or
ci .?am: split six or eight crackers, put
inte soup dish and pour chowder over
them, ?erving at once.
Ta Starch Fine Lingerie.
Many housewives experience great
difficulty in laundering fine lingerie,
such as dainty waists, jabots, collars
and so forth. The chief difficulty
seems to lie in giving them just the
proper degree of crispness. Rinsing
thora in a solution of borax gives the
right degree of stiffness and renders
them Just like new. Two heaping ta
blespoonfuls of borax to five quarts of
water is a good proportion. This is
a!ro excellent for thin dresses
trimmed with lace.
Corn With Cheese.
Cut cold boiled corn from the cob,
put in double boiler with milk enough
to cover. When hot add cheese to
suit your taste cut in thin bits, pep
per and salt. Keep hot till cheese
melts, but do not boil. Nice for sup
per.
Fig Compote.
Wash one pound figs, cover with
i one pint cold water. Soak over night.
In the morning add two bay leaves
and cook one-half hour. Strain gen
! tty. Boil sirup down to one cupful and
pour over figs. Chill, serve with sweet
i cned whipped cream.
i
Warming Over Meat.
! Tb? best way to warm up a roast of
meal is to wrap it in thickly greased
I paper, and keep it covered while irs
the oven. By having it covered tlvi
I steam will prevent th? meat from be
coming hard and (Irv, and it will be
come heated through in lets time.
German Pancakes.
To each egg take one tablespoonful
of flour, a pinch of salt, a pinch 01
baking iv.wder and add enough milk
so it will pour or-.si ly into the pan.
Make about as thick as griddlecakes.

SPRING ONION FOINTERS
Some Practical Suggestions About
How and When to Plant Seeds
and Sets for Best Onions.
Onions may be grown in spring from
seed or from sets. However, spring
planting of seed is not generally so
satisfactory and sets are recommend
ed for the man who neglected to plant
in fall and who wants early onions.
For best results with seed, plant
them in October, in order that the
plants may beccme established before
severe winter weather begins and that
the onions may -grow off rapidly in
spring and mature early in June.
Still, if seed are planted very early
in spring and conditions are favor
able, they will make good onions, al
though they will be smaller and later
than those from fall-sown seed.
Onions should be planted on very
sandy loam. After the land has been
thoroughly prepared by deep plowing j
and repeated harrowing, apply ferti- '
lizer and manure broadcast and har
row into the first three or four inches
of soil very thoroughly. Lay off rows j
fifteen inches apart, plant the seed in j
the drill, and cover the seed to a depth I
of one-half to three-fourths of an
inch. When the young seedlings ap
pear, cultivate frequently in order to
destroy weeds and maintain moisture.
Thin out the onions so as to leave
them standing three or four inches I
apart in the row.
To grow onions from sets, prepare
and fertilize the land as when plant-1
lng the seed and plant the sets Just as !
soon in spring as soil conditions will
permit. Plant them three to four ;
inches apart in rows fifteen inches I
apart.
White Pearl and Prizetaker are the
two most reliable varieties for this
region
Sets are more convenient for the
home-gardener, but for a commercial
onion planter, seed-planting is to be
preferred, because onions grown from
seed keep better than those grown
from sets and because seed cost less
than seta.
