(Prepared by the Bureau of Home Economics, United States Department of Agriculture.) Health has always been closely re- Jated to and considered a definite part of almost every activity included in the home demonstration program. Much helpful and valuable health in- struction is given in a more or less incidental way in connection with some other phase of the work, par- ticularly with nutrition in its various aspects, such as food selection, food preparation, and meal planning. Many details of home improvement also have a direct effect on health, as when by more convenient arrange- ment of equipment, or better equip- ment, fatigue is avoided and more leisure is obtained. Everything to do with child care and child feeding has a health angle which is stressed by extension work- ers. The aim in arousing community enthusiasm for more healthful school sn RARER Keeping Track of Weight Is Part of Health Program, lunches has been to promote in moth- ers a greater interest in correct ehild feeding and to help educate children in food and health in such a way that hygienic habits would be formed early in life, The health score card has been widely used to call attention to such health factors as sufficient sleep, fresh air in the sleeping rocms, fre- quent bathing, care of the teeth, cor- rect food selection, and weight as an indication of physical condition. Many of the farm children thus encouraged both at school and by their mothers to form good health habits, later be- come 4-H club members in which health is strongly emphasized. In ad- dition to the skills they develop in demonstrating club activities, they must be free of physical defects in order to qualify as representatives of their clubs in many county and state contests. The total effect of this re- quirement is continual improvement in girls’ physical condition and in- creased recognition of the importance of health, The illustration, taken by the Unit- eu States Department of Agriculture, shows a child keeping track of her own weight in connection with her Lealth scorescard. SPLIT PEA SOUP IS STANDBY ON OCEAN Nothing More Welcome on Shipboard When Hungry. (Prepared by the Bureau of Home Economics, | United States Department of Agriculture.) Ocean travelers are familiar with the filling, sustalning qualities of well-made pea soup, for it is a stand: by on every liner that plies between Europe and the Uniteg States. People are hungry on shipboard, and there Is nothing more welcome than a sa. vory, hot pea soup that appeases the ravenous appetites induced by the cold salty air, Similarly, on winter days, when the various members of the family come in out of the cold from work or school, a first course consisting of pea soup will go a long Way toward filling them up agreeably —and at the same time, inexpensive- ly. Dried split peas car be kept on hand for use at any time, but they must be soaked overnight before they are cooked, so this Soup cannot be produced without notice, The recipe is from the bureau of home economics. 1 cup dried split 1 pint milk peas 2 tbs. flour 11, quarts water 2 tsp. salt 1 cup diced salt 4 or 5 drops tae pork basco 1 small onion, sliced | Golden Rule Wash the peas thoroughly and soak | them overnight in two cupfuls of the | water. In the morning add two quarts | of water and simmer until the peas are soft. Press the peas through a fine sieve, mix with the liquid from the peas, and place in a double boiler. Dice the pork into very small pieces, cook it until crisp, and remove it from | the fat. Cook the onions in the fat until yellow. Mix the flour with the fat and onions and when blended add to the pea mixture with the milk and stir until thickened. Just before serving add the cubes of crisp pork. Serve with a slice of lemon in each soup plate, Liver and Rice Source of Iron and Vitamines Since nutrition specialists have pointed out the value of liver as a source of iron and vitamines in the diet, many new ways of serving it are being suggested.

BATHROOM POSSIBLE BY WATER SYSTEM New Bathroom in Mrs. Guy Roop’s Remodeled Home, Montgomery County, Virginia. Encouraged and advised by the county home demonstration agent, Mrs, Guy Roop of Montgomery county, Virginia, achieved a number of changes last year in hes home which made it much more comfortable and livable. The illustration shows one of the most made possible by the installation of a complete water system. I 3 important of these—a new bathroom, This water system is supplied by a tank built on the exterior of the house above the second floor. The tank can be filled from the roof by gutters and also by a ram placed et a spring at the foot of the hill. A small, convenient, well- lighted room on the second floor was made over into a bathroom with modern fittings. Improved in arrangement and equipment, Water was also supplied to the kitchen, which was greatly Other remodeling that was done included the living-room, a sur parlor and enclosed porch, and a nursery aud upper enclosed porch, as well as the bathroom. The bome demonstration agent under whose guidance such home improvements were made is em ployed co-operatively by the United States Department of Agriculture and the Virginia Polytechnic institute. There are now approximately 890 home demonstration agents employed in the 48 states.

His visit at the Palace and two oth- er calls made, Doc Sanderson's town cases for the day were disposed of, and in the chugging little flivver he started off to see a sick woman at Pine Ridge, some fifteen miles beyond the shutdown mine, It was a day of late autumn when the earlier glorified gold and crimson foliage had passed and the trees by the roadside rose dark and forbidding —with sear, burnt-out leaves falline to the ground like a man's dead hopes. Isabel had been right, thought the doctor, broodingly, as he drove under the lowering sky of dull gun-metal. a cutting wind lashing in his face. He ought to have left Carter Center nine years ago when the opening at Glen- brook presented itself. Now it was too late. In his profession, a man over sixty could not begin to build up a new practice in a new place, A sudden dynfimic change shot through the sagging figure at the wheel, The drooping shoulders straightened. Head wen: up. In the dull eyes glowed kindled fires. Doc Sanderson was fighting mad. Years ago when he had first come to Carter Center with his young wife and baby girl he was a comparative greenhorn in his profession, But since then he had been both general prac- titioner and surgeon, with all sorts of cases and emergencies to test his ability. Yet, as keen of mind as ever, as skilled of hand—with all that the vears had brought him of invaluable experience—now by an irony of fate he was about to be laid on the shelf. The road grew rougher; the wind whipped colder, Yes, he had made the mistake of his life by not heeding Isabel's advice. As the car laboriously climbed the rough, mounting road he went over again that hour of decision nine years before, The offer from the Glenbrook doe- tor about to retire had come a few weeks after a terrible disaster at the mine. A time when, modest-minded as was his habit of thought, Sander- son knew that his skill and devoted care alone had saved the lives of two of the badly hurt men, and prevented three others from being crippled for life. Came in the midst of a small- pox epidemic: when Harrinaton, the vellow-streaked doctor at Pine Ridge, had run away to save his precious skin. No doubt he had been a senti- mental fool, but it had seemed to San- derson then that whatever advantage a change might bring no other place needed him as much as Carter Center. The kindled fires in Doe Sanderson's eyes smoldered low and a defeated look crept out upon his face, Well, there was nothing to do.but take hls medicine, and keep a stiff upper lip. Thank heaven, he would be the only one to suffer from his mistaken judgment! Isabel's practice might not be very lucrative, for after having taken her postgraduate train- ing as an interne at the Middletown | ground, relates Henry L, City and County hospital from chofce, his daughter had opened an office in | the city’s poorer district, but it gave | a living, and all the work her eager, energetic nature craved. And suddenly at the thought of Isabel's bright, vital personality, there came over Doc Sanderson so home- sick a longing for his daughter's pres- | ence, for the cheer of her smile, the comfort of her loving arms about his neck, that the ache in his heart was a physical pain, death, when Isabel was only fourteen, his love for the girl had been little short of worship, and it seemed as though he would never get used to living without her. From out the gun-metal sky pelted stinging needles of cold rain, and at the same instant came a sound like the sharp report of a pistol. In the midst of the driving rain, on a stretch of road where the mud was ankle deep, Doc Sanderson got out and put on a new tire. The early soaked darkness was set- tling down over Carter Center when, on his return late that afternoon, Doc Sanderson drew up before the one- story little house where he had bached ever since Isabel had gone away. A forlorn, lonesome-looking house it was for a forlorn, lonesome man to come home to on such a night. “And 1 bet a dollar,” the doctor muttered to himself as he opened the creaky front gate, “that the kitchen fire's out.” But half way up the walk he gave a start—a stare in at the front win- dow. To his utter astonishment the living room floor was pooled with light, its walls bright and jumpy with reflected | flames from blazing logs in the big | open fireplace. What happened next was like going around a dark corner and suddenly finding himself in heaven, A heaven of brightness and warmth and Isabel's dear loving arms. “But, child, how did you get off at this season of the year?” Doe Sanderson in a voice still dazed. “Chubby Alvord is taking care of my patients,” with an amused smile at Chubby’'s expense. “There's really no one seriously ill, and T had to come and talk things over with you. I wasn't going to risk having you turn my letter down the way you did the Glenhrook doctor's that dad,” she beamed up at him, “the most wonderful thing has happened! | They've offered me the appointment of bactgeriologist in the City and County hospital's new laboratory. Just the | kind of work that I've been pining for! But I won't, I can't accept, un- less you'll agree to come to the city and take over my practice.” Accidental Pose Gave . . .

We're after the impossible.” “Don’t move, Mr. claimed Sargent quickly. We've got it!” And they had. “Don’t move. Rip’s Awakening It is 108 years since Washington Irving’s creation, Rip Van Winkle, stepped out of a 25-page story to be- come a citizen of the world, Rip was included in an called “The Sketch Book,” modestly published under the pseudonym, “Geof- frey Crayon.” The first printer of “The Sketch Book” in America was C. 8. Van Winkle of New York city, but, says James, O'Donnell Bennett, in “Much Loved Books: Best Sellers of the Ag that is an odd, though meaningless coincidence. Eleven years After “The Sketch Book” was published in England, Irv- ing went to Oxford to receive the de- gree of doctor of laws given him by | the university.

Everybody was in despair, “But a little before three the young man arrived, smiling and breathless. He explained that he had been trotting about from bank to bank cashing the numerous checks that had figured among the wedding presents. “‘You can’t stop a cashed check, he murmured tenderly to his bride as they took their places at the altar,”— Detroit Free Pres, New Idea in Football The fame of the Shoeless Wonders football team of the Presbyterian | orphanage at Lynchburg, Va. is | spreading fast.
