♦ FRENCH BOMBARDING THE LAST GERMAN LINE OF COMMUNICATION WITH METZ. J
The Paris official report states that in the region of Pont-a-Mousson the French artillery has found ♦
4 it possible to bombard Arnaville. This is a small flag station on a branch railroad running from Pont-a- t
t Mousson through Pagny to Gonflans, where it connects with the main railway line from Verdon to Metz. J
I The highway from St. Mihiel crosses the railroad at this point and forms the last line of communication be- J
I tween the Germans on the Meuse, at St. Mihiel, and the fortress of Metz. Should this line be broken It would 4
4 necessitate sending supplies from Metz by a roundabout way by rail to Eta In and thence south along the Ger- 1
f man lines to St. Mihiel or else the evacuation of the latter place. Araaville is only nine miles from Metz and J
I eighteen miles from St. Mihiel. The French official report also states that a German attack on Bethincourt, I
T northwest of Verdun, has been repulsed. t

nel and try to run tho gauntlet of the

callv remarks, ami he adds that the fate
of the others is unknown.

down beneath the sea, leaving the crew

Guarding the Family Health
The problems that confront the
mothers of the present day are numer
ous and it is impossible for them to
solve all of these for themselves So
that when a scientifically trained wom
an, with a great love for children in j
her heart, turns her attention to help
ing mothers decide what and how chil
dren shall be taught principles of right I
living and growth, is it any wonder we j
listen eagerly to herf
In a little book called Boys and !
Girls of Golden City, Dr. Jean Dawson j
shows how "youth, with its ability and j
avidity to learn can keep the com
munity life continuously abreast of dis
covery."
We have heard a great deal about
sanitation, civic cleanliness and the !
plain duty of our overworked boards j
of health. There is hardly a city in the
land that has not a band of Boy j
Scouts and Campfire Girls marching
more or less aimlessly about the town j
swatting flies or starting clean-up brig- 1
ades.
Mothers have hardly known whether
to take this new order of children's
activities seriously or not. That our
towns are cleaner, the youngsters hap
pier, for having rocogniml social ef
ficiency, and that the organizations
have done much to teach our children
the rules of the gnme of life all admit.
But Dr. Dawson shows in this sugar
coated text book how children can
leaVn first aid to the injured thus pre
venting many accidents having serious
terminations. In the pretty little story
she organizes the Garden City children
into helpful councils, teaches team
work that shows practical results, that
any mother can copy. More than this
the results of the national wide cam
paign of civic conditions, that spread
My Mince Meat
There is no one article of food that
shows the cook's careful judgment of
spices, proportions and knowledge of
flavors so clearly as mince meat.
It is worth while to make it care
fully for it may be kept a long time and
rewards the maker by its goodness
every time any of it is used-
Four pounds of juicy beef or shoulder
piece isa sensible sized amount of meat.
And right here we want to say that
miiice meat without meat in it should
be called another name for meat is ab
solutely necessary to this filling. With
the four pounds of beef have one and
a half pounds of suet in addition. One
peck of tart, juicy apples, one qhart
cider, four pounds sugar, four pounds
of seedless raisins, three rounding table
spoons of cinnamon, one tablespoon of
ground cloves, one tablespoon allspice,
two ground nutmegs, one level table
spoon of salt completes the list of in
gredients. Grind or chop the beef, and
chop the suet, pieking out all the fibres.
Some cooks prefer to try the fat from
the suet but this you must decide. The
apples must be pared and cored and cut
fine. It is a good idea to cook the
meat in water first and then slice the
apples into this broth, when it is cold.
Thero must not be too much of it,
however.
Put everything into a porcelain kettle
and cook gently thirty minutes. The
amount of juice in the apples will de
cide whether you need the full quart
of cider.
contagious diseases and infect whole
settlements, is explained to the chil
dren.
We all remember how the late Mrs.
Woodrow Wilson could not be com
fortable or contented in her last hours
until she was sure that the alleys and
slums of Washington were to be made
j light, clean and sanitary. Such an ex
i ample as her's should move every wom-
I an in this country to do something to
j make her own town a better, sweeter,
J more wholesome place to live.
Such civic spirit is well within .the
interests of the most home loviug worn-
I an. Take for instance the collection
I and disposal of ashes, paper and garb
j age, pure water supply, elimination of
. the filthy fly, cleaner markets, better
! kept stables. Don't you know all these
j have direct, bearing on your food, your
i daily living and vour family's im
j munity from disease?
Then there is the matter of prevent
' able diseases among children, chicken
pox, scarlet fever, measles, diphtheria,
whooping cough and tuberculosis. These
can all be prevented and in a few gen
erations mothers will be horrified to
read that in the early part of the 20th
century mothers purposely exposed their
children to these diseases under the
impression they were something chil
dren must have. Dr. Dawson thinks n
I child able to understand the three K's
con be taught to guard himself from
contagion. And when you think about
it don't you agree with her?
She says children do not need to be
made deaf, blind and crippled by fe
vers, illnesses and exposure, if that is
so—and other scientists say the same
thing,—aro you not responsible if you
do not study sanitation for yourself and
family?
| When the apples are done taste the
mixture and add more sugar or more
sharp cider as needed to suit your
palate. This recipe, like all used in this
department, contains 110 liquor and you
will find the spices have quite as good
keeping qualities as brandy has. POUT
the mince pieat, while it is hot, into a
stone crock. The suet will rise to the
top and form an opaque cake excluding
the air.
Whenever the jar is opened you must
melt this suet cover and pour it back
over the mince meat again.
Citrons may be added to the above
as well as chopped nuts, orange and
lemon juico and grated peeling. Pre
served ginger is also liked in mince
meat.
Green tomato mince for pies is liked
but this is not mince meat, though it
makes a good filling when apples are
not to be had:
Chop sixteen green tomatoes and add
six pounds of sugar, one ounce each
of cloves, allspice and cinnamon. Sim
mer until the tomatoes look trans
parent. Put in a jar and keep covered
with parafllne and a tight fitting lid.
For pies use two-thirds of this mixture
and one-third of finely chopped • loan
beef. Season with more Btigar and spice
if needed and add a little.cider to each
pie.
These pieces; like the regular mince
meat ones, may be made and baked and
frozen and re-heated as needed and
taste all the better for it.
