MEAT. In Every Respect Cereals Are Better Body-builders Than Steaks. One pound of wheat is of greater value as food than a pound of meat. If we remove the fat. a beef-steak weighing two pounds ig of less value than one pound of wheat. Moreover, a man can live and be healthy and strong upon bread made from wheat, but he could not live selely upon the lean of a beef-steak. Meat is an appetizer and a stimulant and eaten too freely is the cause e of a good many deaths among those getting into years. Eaten, however, in modera- tion, it is useful to the growing child and the manual worker, 'hut the se- dentary worker is better without it un- less he takes abundant exercise. Wheat is not only much more nutri- tious than meat, poultry, and fish, but it is more economical to the con- sumer as well as to the nation at large. - One pound of wheat contains about thirteen ounces of nutritive food, the remaining three ounces = consisting chiefly of water and fibre. One pound of 'the lean portion of meat contains only four ounces of nutritive food. 'Difficulties. .

It has been some time since I was a country school teacher, but I still ' have a pleasant memory of one home in which I lived a year. And the memory is not because of the won- derful cookery or perfect house- keeping, though no one could-find fault with them. It was a busy farm home, with three active chil- dren, and we all know that work. But every day, rain or shi haying, harvest, or slack time, there ry was a half hour for a "sing." Every: one got around the little Arvcinyy organ and someone played Fille every one sang. There were Carusos nor Melbas in the group, = the singing pleased us all the bettér | because we did it ourselves and we i all felt it. We sang because we liked t6 and the words had a definite meaning to us. No jazz nor "Ha» waiian Dreams," in fact, no ragtime of .any sort. So you see it wag quite a while ago. For the most part we sang gospel liymns with an occa- sional patriotic song. Possibly we sang off key, I know one.of us did, and perhaps no impresario would have stopped ip the road to listen, but anyhow we enjoyed the brief rest from work and we got some: thing Which took wus through another |; day 'in better spirit. You may not care for the "sing." But isn't the idea of taking a half- hour off worth something? Perhaps you would rather read, or' get outs doors and walk, or sit down and rock and crochet. Or it may be a nap is what you need. If you. are one of those uncounted women who has secretly pined to do some speci thing and never found the time, wi not take a half-hour daily" fox - "fad"? It is surprising how uch you can accomplish in thirty 'min. utes daily. That means three: hours a_week, nearly a half-day. We lay too much stress on what we term necessities. Many of the necessities are so only in name. We could get along without quite a nuni- ber of them. And we pay too little attention to. the really worth-while things of the mind and soul.

For years I worked in a large kit- chen--in a kitchen which was even larger than our dining room. It was used for almost everything--as a meeting place for the men who were waiting for their meals, as well as for a laundry. When we had saved up sought jo "| fix over our house, I determined tha I would have the kitchen the way I wanted it. It would be my worl- shop and not a place to do general chores. I decided to adopt the effi- ciency measures used in business. If time and agen could be saved by routing work in 'an orderly and sys- tematic manner in factories, why not in my kitchen? My new kitchen should be arranged so that steps would not have to be retraced. "So now my husband has an office where the men wait fer meals, and the laundry work is done in a sep- arate room provided for that pur- pose. Both the men and I find this arrangement much more pleasant. I use my kitchen now almost ex- clusively for the work for which it was intended--the preparing and clearing away of meals. In the ar- rangement I followed a plan recom- mended by a domestic science jalist. whom I! know, and I have} found it a great time and step saver, In preparing a meal the raw food and utensils arep laced to the left of the stove. The serving table used for assembling the dishes for the dining room is to the right of the stove. The soiled dishes are brought from the dining room to the right side of the sink, where they are washed, They are draired on the left side of the sink. The cupboard for the china is near the dining room and the cooking utensils are placed close to the stow This same specialist told me the|. following important points about] kitchens in general, and as I follow- ed most of the suggestions in build- my own kitchen I can vouch for worth: "Kitchens are built smaller how, oy cream, mak«| P will be offered to the people of Dart- in this district. perfences.
