Nothing tastes as good as usual, and it becomes nec- essary to make changes in our winter diet. In this nothing helps quite as up the system, give us the required vitamines and make us again to feel that it is good to live. Here are some varied ways of serv- ing that ever-popular spring vege- table, the parsnip, that the family is sure to like. Parsnip Stew---Dice and fry to a golden brown three small pieces of]; pork, three medium-sized parsnips and one potato. After frying five minutes, cover with a quart of water and cook until the vegetables are ten- der. Season with salt and pepper and thicken slightly. In the mean- time, make light biscuits of one and one-half cups of sour milk, one-half cup of sweet cream, half teaspoon of soda, two teaspoons baking powder, and two cups sugar. Split biscuit, placing in a large tureen, and pour the stew over this. Parsnip Fritters.-- Wash and pare parsnips. Cut in slices, and boil in salted water until tender, then drain. Beat an egg in a dish. Dip parsnips in egg and then in cracker crumbs. Fry in hot lard .or butter until brown on both sides. Parsnip Souffle.--Scrub four med- ium sized parsnips well and boil until tender in salted water. Remove the skins and force through a potato ricer. Add one-half teaspoon of salt, one-eighth teaspoon of pepper, one teaspoon butter, and one cup of well- seasoned medium white sauce. Add beaten yolks of two eggs and when mixture has cooled, fold in the whites of the eggs beaten until stiff. Turn into a buttered baking dish and bake twenty to thirty minutes, depending upon the depth pf the the dish. MY BICYCLE PUMPS NEW JOB.

Mary has one of those heads of hai) that we speak of as being oily--that is, it would be if she didn't wash it every week or ten days and do certain things to it. ! She uses any of the good toilet 'soaps, but she seems to prefer the seented ones because of the to perfume they leave in the hair. This "she chips up fine into boiling water v sand stirs till all of the soap is dis-!| ved.

This removes any oil or soap that may remain and puts a beautiful gloss into it. Another | rinsing with the spray removes the lemon and straightens out the hair. Mary has straight hair, but she deceives you there too. Her wave looks altogether natural and is made by putting in little combs while her hair is wet and allowing them to stay in till the hair is dry. She uses fifteen combs, placing them in rows across her head, close together so that they make puffs and hollows. In case the curl comes out before wash day, Mary dampens her hair and puts the combs in place and sleeps comfortably in them over night.

Fortunately his own arrival checked up hers pretty closely, since she could not have been in the room much more than five minutes before him. Probably she had been even less, than that. James ¢ould not have left so before Rose arrived. It was quite possible that her coming had fright- ened him out. So far as the dovetailing of time went, there was only the ten minutes or less between the leaving of the Hulls and the appearance of James left unexplained. If some one other than those mentioned on his pencilled memoranda had killed Cunningham, it must have been between half-past nine and twenty minutes to ten.

One should not, however, go to the extréme of keeping late hours even for interesting radio programs. ; Many of the problems connected with the hygiene of old age are due tp lowered mental power. Therefore, a cheerful and optimistic attitude to- wards the aged, especially during, sick- ness, is essential to their well being. Old people regard their condition as far Jess serious when fully dressed and out of bed.' However, when an elderly person complains of being over tired, or otherwise not physically fit, rest in bed for a day is advisable. By administering Hght and easily digest- ed food and applying warmth to the body of an aged patient he is often tided over a prospective illness. Special attention should also be paid to proper clothing, diet and exercise 'of the elderly, Inasmuch as body heat decreases after the age of 40, exercise is required to provide some of the de- ficiency. An English physician who recently reached the mge of 95 years, advocates and practiess 'a daily walk in the-open, regardiess of the weather, He cautions, however, against exer- cising to the point of fatigue. While all old people may not be able to fol- low this hardy exampl#, it 1s neverthe- less true that a moderate walk on pleasant days ie a beneficial stimulant. The digestive powers of the elderly are less vigorous and there Is not as great a demand for body fuel as in earlier years.
