Grauel 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.
