(Prepared by the United States Department of Asrlcultur«.> A well-rounded diet supplies us with energy foods, body-building material, vitamins, and minerals. Phosphorus is one ot the mineral constituents of a number of our common foods, which has a marked effect on growth. In a sfcries, of ch&rts prepared by the bureau of home economics of the Unted States Department of Agriculture the i-esults of various laboratory studies made with small experimental animals are shown. For example, a rat which Was given a diet adequate in every way except for the amount of phosphorus received, was found at the end of 9 weeks to Weigh only 60 grams. Another rat frora^The same litter and fed in the same way except for the addition of a sufficient amount of phosphorus to make the diet adequate, Weighed 115 grams at the end of the same length of time. The^ picture, .which is fronts these, charts, shows what a wide variety of foods supply phosphorus. J Some of the common sources of phosphorus listed hy the bureau »*re>: .Almonds, dry beans, fresh lima beans, buttermilk, cheese, cowpeas, eggs, ftsh, graham flour, rye flour, hazelnuts, lentils, lean meat, milk, oysters, peanuts, pecans, potatoes, p®as, both fresh and dry, shredded wheat, walnuts, whole wheat, and wheat bran. Many of these foods are eaten in the course of a normal varied diet; it is chiefly important to make sure that some of th&n are always present in the menu. Other valuable constituents, too, are contributed by most of the foods mentioned. , State Treasurer Edward J. Barrett has advertsied for new bids to be re ceived October 16 on deposits of state: funds in banks of Illinois. Previous bids were rejected® owing, to the fact that bankers offered but one-half of one per cent interest.

In the oldfashioned "boiled frosting" method the sirup, cooked "until it spins a thread," is poured gradually into a beaten egg-white. Sometimes the Icing is just right, sometimes it hardens too fast and cannot be put on the cake successfully, and sometimes it does not harden at all, but remains sticky or even runs off the cake. When a candy thermometer is used In making the sirup results are more uniform, hut the work of combining the hot sirup and the beaten egg-white -must be skillfully done.

United States Department of Agriculture. A double boiler is UBed and the ingredients, including the unbeaten egg whites, are all put in at the same time. This frosting never actually boils, but It becomes thick and creamy very quickly and hardens nicely. The -crust Is crisp and glazed while underneath it the frosting is soft, light and moist Various flavors may be used. The amount suggested in the recipe below is sufficient for the tops of three eight-Inch layers. If it is desired to Ice the cake on the sides, add half as much again of the various ingredients. For spreading the frosting use a broad thin knife or spatula dipped in hot water. Vanilla Frosting. 1 cup sugar " % tip. salt 4 tbs. cold wtUr % tap. vanilla 1 egg white ' Put the sugar, water and unbeaten egg-white into the upper part of a double boiler. Have the water in the lower part boiling. Commence beating the mixture^with a dover beater at once and Seat constantly while it cooks for seven or eight minutes. It should then look just like ordinary boiled frosting and should be almost thick enough to spread. Take, j.t from the stove, add the vanilla, and continue to beat about five minutes or until it has thickened. If the Icing is not sufficiently cooked place it in the double boiler and recook for a short time; or, if it is-400 stiff, add a smaU quantity of water and cook again. For chocolate frosting gdd two ounce squares of unsweetened chocolate to the other Ingredients, and follow the same method given for vanilla frosting. The chocolate frosting will take longer to thicken to the right consistency.

Nothing More Satisfactory for the Purpose. (Prepared tor the United StatM Department ot Agriculture.) Because October has an "R" In its spelling--and also happens to be a suitable season for eating oysters, we are apt to welcome this flavorful shellfish with especial eagerness aft er being deprived of it for several months. In the fall, too, there are often cool periods that suggest something temptingly hot for the evening meal. Nothing could be more satisfactory for the purpose than a good oyster stew. The bureau of home economics of the United States Department of Agriculture tells how to .jjiake It 1 quart mill t tbsjlliiwuf 1 quart oystera Salt 4 .tbs. melted but- Pepper telr Chopped parsley Heat the milk In a double boiler. Strain the oysters from their liquor and pick out any small pieces of shell that may be clinging to them. Heat the oyster liquor sliglitly and remove the scum which rises to the top. Blend the flour and butter and stir Into the milk" until thickened. Add the oysters and the liquor and cook for five of ten minutes, or until the edges of the oysters begin to Curl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve in hot soup plates with finely chopped parsley sprinkled over the top. Cheese Sandwiches Nice for Luncheon or Supper Hot cheese sandwiches are not much In evidence during July and August, but they are so good that one turns to thfem for luncheon or supper menus as soon as the weather cools a bit. There is a trick Or two about making them so that they are extra tasty. The bureau of home economics of the United States Department of Agriculture explains the Special points herewith : Slice the bread thin and remove the crusts. Without buttering the bread, make it Into sandwiches with thin, even slices of American cheese as the filling and a sprinkling of salt and a drop or two of tabasco for seasoning. Melt sufficient butter to cover the bottom of a smooth skillet and brown tfie Sandwiches delicately on both sides. Take care that the butter does not become so hot that it browns the sandwiches before the bread is heated through and the cheese melted. Serve the sandwiches at oni^wlth a Salad of vegetables or of sardines. Brewing Social Cup of ~ Tea Is Art Unmastered Brewing a social cup of tea Is an art unknown to many housewives. While the amount of tea to use will depend on the Individual's taste, C. F. Hutchinson, tea examiner stationed at New York city for the federal food and drug administration, says that about a teaspoonful to the cup is a good average. Boiling water must be used or the leaves will not open ft. iy and impart their full strength and flavor to the beverage. But tea should never be boiled nor should the leaves stand in the water longer than five or six minutes, In his opinion., Mr. Hutchinson puts the tea fh an aluminum strainer, puts the strainer across the top of the teapot, and pours foiling water through the strainer un: til the pot Is full, covering the body of the strainer. After it has drawn for three or four minutes he takes the strainer out and has a cup of tea that i#_4«*t-to hirs liking.

His mother reaches for the telephone as he lies cradled In her arm. His first view through the window shows him endless lines of huivuiuuilm and trucks. As he lies in his perambulator, he looks up to see a sky full of ships. Yet Ray Long and I, in discussing this matter the other evening, decided that there are certain things the child of today will never know, things vanished forever, as the color of the past fades and is lost in the dusk of time. There was, for example, the four-inch collar. Once a heau of those dear, dead days be-' yond recall got his neck encased in one of those collars, he never saw his feet again until he took it off. It passed closely below the ears and elevated the chin to an extent that, if he wished to look meaningly into a pair of feminine eyes, the owner of the collar had to bend frdm the waist, unless the girl was a giantess. The ordinary type of this article was made from a single turnover toiler, which went up and come down again. It would have pained the alert, advertising man of todiiy to all^ that blank space wasted. \ •* •' Then there were the round, reversible cuffs. These somewhat resembled small sections of linen pipe. The lower end was fastened by large cuff buttons, sometimes cameos; sometimes agate. Glass buttons with a fish swimming In them were considered smart. The ultra fashionable had a tie pin to match the buttons. If the cuffs became soiled, the wearer merely retired for a moment and switched ends. To be able to shoot these cuffs so that just the proper margin showed below the coat sleeve was the hall-mark of the cosmopolite. „ • • • • • /- Then there were the neckties, or cravats. Aside from the black string ties worn by certain of the older statesmen, there was a period In the history of the country when It seems probable that there were not half a dozen untied neck ornaments In the land. The bow ties either hitched on to the front collar button with a wire loop, or fastened at the back of the neck with a hook and eye. In the case of the long tie, the neckpiece was led around the collar and then the end of It was inserted into a sort of slot and the tie pulled into position It was held there by a pin, fastened on the under side. When the untied Ascot and four-in-hand were Invented* learning to tie them properly was, to seek a simile of today, equivalent to learning to fly. Women were the first to become experts at tying the bow When a girl.went so far as to get the. ends even on a.young man's tie, it.waq^ an almost infallible sign that her ln» terest In him was more than platonic, • • e The boy of today knows nothing otthe thrill of corduroys, purchased at & gentlemen's pants emporium, coats and vests being separate articles of merchandise.

She dutifully starched them until they cracked, but creased them down the side seams, making It impossible tq walk in them. The damage could not be repaired in time for an Important date. It was a tragedy. • • • Any old-timer will remember the era of the tight trousers. It was nec» essary to pull them up at the knee b< fore sitting down. On rising, it required skillful manipulation to get them to their former level. Com» pared to them, a snake's skin was a£:> baggy as a pair of plus fours. Then there were the square built coats, so. padded that a short man wearing one would have been taller If he had stood on his shoulder. • • • I doubt whether the youngster of the future ever will see the enameled shoe, with the cloth top and buttonsi, I have not in years seen one of those derby hats with the practically flat crown. R$y Long insists that there was a map in Indianapolis who had one of those hats with a crown so shallow that he couldn't keep It on hit head. He also had a watch chain witfi links of the size now used for small anchors. Girls in picture hats anfi ruffles thought it a very handsome ornament. f . .\;\e.- • Yes, there are a number of thing* modern youth will never know.
