M. A. WILSON Ccpvrttht. 1$1, lfr. -U. A. Wilton. All JtfffhtJ UtttrvtH. My dear Sirs. Wilson I have been very much interested in fol lowing your menus and sugges tions which you havo in the paper. I find them unusually practical and attractive, and for this reason I am writing you for some advice. I am a graduate of a school of domestic scienco and in the fall , take up the work dietetics or n high school. I would appreciate very much any suggestions you might have for the lunch room. I would like particularly to havo ideas for simple hot dishes. I will provide for about 150 to 200 pupils. With many thanks and much appreciation for anything you mignt offer, I am, M. M. H. I have found that the average boy or girl attending school enjoys his or her midday meal very much if it in appetising, both In appearance and in the food itself. You must expect to find that both boys and irlrla havo a very sweet tooth. In other words, if a choice is left to N them they really prefer a sandwich and plenty of dessert. So why not begin a campaign to teach the boys and girls to select food that will make them physically fit? A poster would convey this very easily. It might read: "To study well, you must cat well. Today bean cutlets and tomato sauce will supply the brain food for the stu dent." Serve small portions of pro tein food, plenty of the coarse vege tables, either as 'vegetables or salads, and a good, inexpensive dessert. Use f cocoa for a hot beverage. Whole wheat bread, with cither nuts, raisins or butter, will supply the vital min eral content.

Use canned fish roe in croquettes and cutlets, using the recipe for cheese cutlets and substituting tlie fish roe for the cheese. Use creamed as for codfish or creamed and filled into popover cases.

I have the lids, which seem to fit down perfectly tight. Could I use these cans for, say, half peaches, pears or vegetables, and, if so, should I use in the hot-water bath or just fill them with the sterilized fruit? Also will you please ad vise if, when putting the jars of fruit into the hot water for steril izing, the tops should be screwed on fairly tight? I have ex perienced that when screwed on loosely, as most of the recipes say, the water from the boiler and the wntor f torn the jais runs together. Mis. W. W. Would not advise the use of these cans for preserving. Fasten the jai lids faiily secure. No. 1270 My dear Mis. Wilson I follow all your lecipes and have tried many of them with great success. However, I do not seem to make the ice cream properly. I followed your directions to the letter, it seems to me, but the cream was so frozen that it tasted like pieces of ice that is, it was not smooth, but rather scaly. I would feel obliged if you can tell me why. Also in reference to beans for canning; you state they should not be more than six hours picked. It is almost Impossible for me to get them fresher than one day old, or even two days. Do you think I could can successfully after so long a time? Thanking you, I am, N. O'N. Use less salt in the freezing mix tare. Better not can these products, as the safety lies in having them ab solutely fresh. Adventures With a Purse IT IB always more or less of a prob lem to know just what to have for favor at a children's party. There are any number of things one might have, but how to get something really new and different is another .matter. One shop has a novel suggestion. Little shells, about an inch In width, and re sembling clam shells, come in a box of twelve for twenty cents. On the sur face of them they look like any ordinary FOR DESSERT Cooked Dressing Tivo cup?, of vinegar, Tliree cups of water, One cup of flour. Stir to dissolve and biing to a boil. Cook slowly for three min utes, and then place in a bowl One cup of salad oil, Tiro eggs. One tablespoon of mustard, One tablespoon of salt. Three tablespoon of sugar. Beat to mix and then beat into the prepared dressing. Chill and serve. Gingerbread Three pint of molasses, Two pints of brown sugar, tOne and one-half cups of short ening, . I One qumt of boiling water, Tito tablespoons, of baking soda, Two and one-half tablespoons of ginger. Two tablespoons of cinnamon, One tablespoon of allspice, Two tablespoons of salt. Beat to mix and then add . Five and one-half quarts of sifted i flour. Beat to thoroughly mix and then pour in one and one-half inches deep , in well-creased and floured baTdnir pans and bake in a moderate oven for fortv minutes. Cut into 100 nor- I tions.

This menu would cost today ap proximately about nine and one half to ten cents per child. It will i could interest and obtain the aid of I the domestic science clnss.

Against "Dolls" Dear Cynthia I've been following the discussion on "Wbj do bovs seem to prefer the painted dolls?" Mr Romance wrote that bojs prefer them, not seem to. Wrong, Mr. Romance wrong I A man, a real mini, who works hard for n living will never want a "Doll" for n wife. Siah a man will not want n woman that will throw his money nway on paint, he will nol want a woman who will raise his children wrong. With n doll for n mother, what morals will his children have? If Mr Romancer and other chaps who-find pleasure when they are with dolls would think a little deeper, the? would no longer "find pleasure and amusement in their company."

A PHILOSOPHER. To Men Unwanted Dear I'ynthia T am a frequent leader of vour column and it seems that most of the letters from fellows always end in telling the kind of a girl they want for a wife and the kind that the don't want, so I have decided to write this little poem about the kind of n man I don't want : Oh. list' while I speak of the man 1 don't want.

"TWENTY TWO" Loves Children Hear Cynthia May God bless vou for vour help and kind advice You are iertainly a wonderul key to hope und happiness. I have one question to ask" vou about playing with children. I am a girl of seventeen nnd a great lover of children. I am always play ing with them. Sometimes I nm called the queen of children. I iust love them and I am always with them. Sometimes I have a regular kindergar ten at my home. Now the people laugh at me and call me a "big baby." I jump rope with little girls, play marbles with little boys and entertain them in many ways. The (hildren in return love me and do just as I tell them. Now then, tell me, dear Cvnthia, is it foolish to plav with children younger than jourself? Of all the readers that I read I trulj think thnt ('. D .1 is the more ideal. 1 have read his nitic-le "Against Roug ing." "Tracing Character" and a few others aud I think that they just ring true. THE QUEKN OP CHILDREN You hae struck a weak spot in Cynthia children. She loves them and thinks it is more fun to be wltji them than with a great many older people. But, little friend, much as I love nnd enjoy childien, I do not think jou are following a wise plan to give so much of your time to them; that is, if you are anxious to .have friends j-our own nge at the same time, lou see, all young girls aud boys of seventeen nre not endowed with this feeling for little PU , ,, . ..

Now that hurt me, and on Thursday I sent n letter telling lilm that I hated hint and never wanted to see him again." You can guess the rest. The story doesn't end like one of Grimm's fairy talcs. The boy got mad he was only teasing the girl about the other engage ment and the upshot of It is the young lady who took her pen in hand no longer has a best beau. Written words are cruel things. Long, after common sense has come to .the. rescue of hot-headedness they 'rise upi like specters in the night nnd stand ns witnesses to moments we prefer to for get all about. Here is this little girl.. The incident about which she became' so exasperated Is dead and gone, but she has given the young man an oppor tunity to hold a postmortem any time he chooses. What was said over the phone would have grown dim In his mind eventually, but words written) down in black and white never groV dim. They are the same two days, two months or two years later. Time has) no softening effect on them. They are' always theje ready to condemn.
