It contains certain ele- manta which are capecially heelthful._ and it served in‘ the raw state. as most people like it best. it is easily pre- pared. ~ The skin of the! tomato is not tough or hard. yet it should not be eaten. All titles aremore or less indigestlble, and should be removed before the fruit or vegetalie is served or eaten. The skin of tomatoes is easily removed by pourâ€" .ng boiling water over them for a min- ute or so; then with the point of i knife draw the skin off. Tomatoes ihould always be served ice-cold to be at their best. Many people prefer them simply sliced. with vinegar, pep- per and salt. A anch. dressing of vinegar. pepper. salt and olive oil is -HQUSEHOLQni delivious on tomatoes. . Served as a salad tomatoes are great- ly relished. There are numerous ways of preparing tomato salads, but the one amt universally liked iswith mayon- naise dressmg. 'Place a crisp lettuce leaf or twoon each plate and slice over them the tomatoes. Place a spoonful of mayonnaise on top; or serve it in a little bowl or pitcher, and let each one help himself. . Tomatoes and cucumbers make an ex- cellent dish. Pare, salt and press the cucumbers as usual; slice the tomatoes. and have both very cold. When ready to serve. spread this cucumbers over the tomatoes, and pour over all French dressing. or season with pepper, vine- gar and a little salt. If liked. an onion sliced into the salad makes it still bet- ter to many tastes. Instead of onions. lettuce may be added, makitng a very appetizi dish». A delicious salad. easily ma , should be served very cold. Select large, ripe tomatoes. Cut a circle from the stem end of each one and take out the ulp with a. sharp knife or spoon. . up the pulp with a fresh. cucumber. peeled, and a small onion. Season with pepper and salt, and a little oil if liked. Just before serving fill tibia tomato shells and put on tlhe top a spoonful of mayonnaise dressing. Arrange the tomatoes on letâ€" tuce loaves cm a platter. For those who 'tke cooked tomatoes this way of preparing) them is especial- ly good : Out a circle from the stem end of. nrgc tmnatoes, and scoop out as much) of the pulp as possible without injuring them. Dredge them insidewith pepEfr and salt. Put two tablespoonfuls of 1tter in a frying pan, and when blot stir In two cupfuis of crisp bread crumbs. Keep stirring until brown, and fill the tomatoes with them. Covâ€" er the openings with fresh crumbs and him: of butter. and: bake half an hour. Fifteen minutes before the tomatoes are done make a sauce irn this manner: I’ut one bumpoonful of butter in a frying pan. and when hot. stir in one teaspoon- f ul of flour unblll‘ brown. Add a cupful of rich milk. or better still, meat stock. the pulp of 'the tomatoes, a bit of chopped onion. and pepper and salt. Slimmer tern minutes and strain. Place the tomatoes carefully on a platter and pour the sauce over them. Garnish with parsley. Any kind of chopped meat will be excellent for filling in- stead of crumbs. ‘ _. Broiled tomatoes are delicious if nice- ly prepared. The tomatoes must be per- fectly firm of texture, round in form. and barely ripe. Dipl in scalding water for nine minute and they) remove the skins. Put in the ice! box. for an hour to get cold and firm again. Cut thick slices. and dust them wnth salt and pepper. and put on1 a buttered broiler. Put over a hot. fire, and turn quickly twice. Pour melted butter. over them when served on a hot dish. THE CUP THAT CHEERS. To make tea. of ordinary strength follow the old rule of "a. teaspoonful for each pct-sum and one for the pot.” An ounce or half a cupfiil of tea con- tains seven teaspoonfuls and will make six pints of tea. or two cupfuls each for six persons. After a cup of tea for each person has been poured out. another piint of actually boiling water may be added to that. in the teapot. and be- fore the second cup is needed, the tea. will be of good medium strength. For making the tea, an earthenware or china teapot is preferable to one of metal. Rinse the teapot with boiling water: then put the tea into it, and pour in the boiling water; cover the teapot. and let the tea stand to draw out its flavor as long as it is desir- able before using it. but do not set the teapot where the tea will boil; it will be hot enough to drink for ten or (if- teen minutes. Some people only pour part of the boiling water _on the tea at first. and add the rest Just before using it. Sugar and milk are. of course, used at the discretion of tea drinkers. A slice of lemon in a cup of tea. with sugar. but no milk. makes a very pleas- ant drinkâ€"this is Russian fashion. Cold tea with milk and sugar or cream makes a very refreshing drink for a warm Summer day. It remotes the sensation of ioolness so onged for in the hot seat er. Shrewsbury cakes made by the fol- lowing recipe are a delicious and un- common dainty to servo With afternoon tea. Beat two mmces of butter and two ounces of wdered s . together. cream Well; t add but a teaspoon of round cinnamon or grated lemon ring and mix in. Best up one egg and halve it. add half (no unto. or mixture will be too weird) to the hitter. sugar. etc; stir roused very quickly, spd beat thoroughly with the spoon: sift four ounces of flour and stir radusll into the mixture with a meta spoon.

Remove from the oven, and when cold they will be crisp. Children should never have tea. be- cause their growing bodies need every particle of nourishment which can be urnhshed by hearty food; the change of nourishment into healthy blood cap- able 0!. making sound muscles and strong bones should never be retarded. Never be tempted to give clnluren tea for the purpose of “stay‘ug” their apâ€" ites when lack of money~ prevents al iberal suppl of ordinary food; rather chenpen the 00d. In place of meat and eggs use plenty of soup. Indian meal, split pea soup, brown bread and beans. All thwe articles of food are cheap. SALAD DRESSINGS. French Dressingâ€"Mix together and stir until well blended four tablespoon- fills of olive oil, two tableSpoonfuls of vinegar, oneâ€"half teaspoonful of salt, and one-fourth teaspoonful of pepper. This is the most easily prepared and largely used of the salad dressmgs. German Dressingâ€"Take one-half cup- ful of thick creanr and beat it with an egg beater until stiff; then add. Very slowly. continuing the beating, one- fourt-h teaspoonful of salt. a few grams of pepper. and three tablespoonfuls of vunegar. Chicken Salad Dressingâ€"Reduce the stock in which the fowl has been cooked to one-half a cupful. To this add an equal volume of vinegar, the yolks of five eggs. slightly beaten, two table- spoonfuls of mixed mustard. one lea- spoonful of salt, one fourth teaSpoonful of pepper sand afew grains of cay- enne.

A smooth consistency may be restored by taking the yolk of all- other egg and adding the culrdled mix- .ulre slowly to‘ rt. It is desirable to have the bowl containing the mixture placed m a. larger bowl of crushed ice, to whwh a. small quantity of: water has been added. Olive oil for making mayonnaise should always be thorough- ly chilled. A silver fork, wire wisk, small wooden spoon or an egg Leater may be used. as preferred. Mayonnaise should stiff enough to hold its shape. It. soon liquidates whenl added to meat or vegetables, therefore should be add- ed just before servirnlg. Bfayonnaise Dressing \Vit'hout Oil.â€" To make a dressing which shall be simâ€" ilar to a. mayonnaise, rub the yolks of threehnrd-boiled eggs to a paste; mix ivith it three or' four tablespoonfuls of merited butter, add pepper and salt and a pumh of mustard and finally vinegar enough to make it the proper consis- tency. This should not be. mixed with the salad until the moment of serving. A VULGAR HABIT. Boards of llciillli Should Stop Splicing in Public. "If men. were compelled to wear skirts for a period, I Uhink they would insist more Uhnn they now do that their fellow men should stop the nasty habit of spitting in public," writes Edward W'. Bok in the Ladies' Home Journal. "There is no practise of man which is more distressing to women than this disgusting habit. Women constantly complain of it. especially in our large cities. where sometimes the sidewalks are scarcely fit for them to walk up- on. They revolt at the practise, and they are right in! so doing. Yet year in and year out the habit not only continues, but increases, and the pro- tection of cleanliness, to which every woman walking upon our streets has a perfect right, is denied her. In Aew lork City the board of health has taken the matter up on the grounds of public health. and the po- lice department IS lending its coâ€"oper- ation in the enforcement of an ordin- unc'e directed against. the evil. No action taken in New. York for years is so highly to be recommended, and the ordinance should quickly extend to oth- er Cities and. be put into force. It is an undertaking which public opinion ivill sustain in whatever part of the country it is attempted. Every com- munity should be urged to try the ex- perimcnt. “Tie time is ripe when every de- cent man should take some steps to see to it that the nastiest and most vulgar: of all. halnts is entirely sto ped. New lork City has started the re orm. Let the bourdspf health of a few of our other large Cities take up the question. and the_refo<rm, which appeals to every cleanâ€"minded man_and woman. will soon 6 read. It is awork in every way cal ing for the attention and ac- tion of of health and all bodies and Citizens linlerested in the health of comnlilsuglititfi. The spitting built is an a u menace to the ubli~ health." : p b N0 DISCOUNT 0N THEM.

Hip disease is one of the most com- mon causes of lameness in children. This is not only because it occurs per- haps more frequently than disease of any other joint. but also because it begins so insidiously that the early stages, when treatment might accom- plish most, are often passed before the trouble is recognized. The first sign is usually a slight limp, which comes and goes for no apparent reason; there is no pain,and as the child can give no excuse for limp- ing, he is perhaps reproved for what is regarded as merely a bad habit. There is a little stiffness after sitting, and especially in the morning on get- ting out of bed, but this passes «away with exercise. It may disappear for days at a time, and then return in arather more pronounced form. The child seems instinctively to avoid a shock to the hip by stepping on the tips of his toes, but when told to put. his heel to the ground he does So ,ivith~ out trouble. After awhile a little psi-n beginsto befelt. and this, like the limp. may be intermittent at first; it. seems too slight to have any significance, and the parents often speak of it as a."growâ€" ing pal-n." At first the child hardlyl knows where the pain is, it is so (inde- finite, but soon it. becomes more mark- ed and is referred to the knee. The limp and the pain are so slight! and so incbnstant that no alarm is felt ,andso the opportunity of thrott- lost and. the more striking symptoms physician is consulted. _ Now the little patient begins have "night cries." but. he is not. conscious of suffering. and may not. wake. or if he doeshe cries in astartled way for a minute or two and then falls asleep (again. At this time if the child is examined, one leg may be seen to be a little thinner than its mate and perhaps slightly drawn up at the hip. sease is now fully established, and while not necsssarily incurable, is much more difficult of management. the trouble. _The moral is, never to neglect a limp or a"growing pain" in the young. VARICOSE VEINS. Varicose veins are always due longâ€"continued and unusual pressure of the blood witth the blood-vessels. which causes them to stretch, both in length and in width. The stretch- ing occurs at. intervals, and is usually in an advanced stage before pain is felt. The veins about the ankle or the calf are usually the first tolbe affected. A small, superficial part of the Vein appears bluish and more prominent than usual, and may have a beaded outline. This condition may disappear for a. time but it recurs with increas ed discomfort. The enlarged veins. unless cared for are liable to anumberl of complications. The tissue around an enlarged vein ispoorly nourished, and is liable to in- fection and degeneration, with rapid formation of ulcers, which are healed only with difficulty. The vein may become so enlarged at a point near the surface that the tis~ sue over it may waste away and :the vein be ruptured. ’lllie loss of blood is then considerable. Such a rup- ture is always alarming, and may be dangerous to life. The hardened tissue often found around varicose veins is the result :of exudation of the watery portion of the blood through their weaktuiedwalls. The lower extremities are most prone to varicosities of the VelllS, but the same coalition is frequently found else- where. The. treatment consists in early pre- venting their develcipmtuit. The cir- culation especially in the diseased vein. must be toned up. Hygienic and die- tary measures should be employed to improve the general condition. The vein must be supported by local means. An elastic stocking, an elastic bandage or a common roller bandage does this effectively. The bandage must be tightly and smoothly applied, begin- ning at the toes , and by usucccssive turns covering every portion of the surface. \Vhile sitting, the patient. should ele- vate the foot on a foot-rest. The foot of the bed should be slightly raised to facilitate the venous return. Standing more than walking. in- creases varicosdies. W'alking and cycling to excess may also increase the difficulty. After exercise it is re- commended thnt the affected parts he bathed in cold water. and the veins firmly rubbed L) the direction of the heart. lcers. hemorrhach and other com- plications call for a physician's care. \VH'AT TO EAT. Our most important foods are starch. sugar. fats, albumen and mineral substances. Starch is found in all grains, most vegetables, and some fruits. It ischanged tosugar in the pro- cess of digestion. Sugar is found in fruits, vegetable milk. honey etc. Fats, albumen and minerals are found in the tissues of both plants and animals Starch. sugar and fats. furnish heal and vitality. Albumen isfound in ev- ery tissue of our bodies. The rapid changes necessary to life, growth. and repair. take place largely in the al‘ bumen. It gives power of mind and muscle. We cannot live without it. ling the disease in its infancy is often} of the second stage set in before a, l the three regular meals are replaced by to ‘ late rising and abstinence, followed by Sudden-1y, in the' midst of sound sleep, he utters ai piercing cry expressive of severe painuand the result is discomfort, stupidity The di- : .

" It uasn't so very." he answers serenely. “I remember now. I was just wondering whether you would want me to put on my dress suit for dinner every night if we were married." The pen descends on the half-filled sheet. " If you're going to be funny.l wish you'd cheese some other time for it." she say. writing busily. “I want this letter to latch the O'.‘t*.-l‘ltlll(l."

The opinion of a well-known doctor is that the Sunday dinner does more harm than good to the average man. Instead of eating in strict accordauc/c with the rules carried out by him dur- ing the week a heavy dinner. quite dif- ferent from the ordinary, is taken. and the system is upset entirely. > There is one remedyâ€"that is. to take one's meals at the same hours on Sun- day as on other days. and to have them of a similar character. Sunday dyspepsia is a recognized ail- ment among physicians.
