hava appeared recently In thla column

say that lentils may ba treated very
much like dried beans or peas, except
that owing to their also tha time for
cooking may usually ba shortened.
They may bo used for soups, purees,
plain or scalloped vegetable. In stews
or curries. In a "loaf." aa croquettes,
sausages, saisds or sandwich pastes.
They may also be baked, like beans or
peas, with fat from salt pork, vegeta
ble oil or butter. If these sugges

Irish moss, a kind of dried seaweed,
is occasionally used for sick persons
as a bland and soothing drink ' or
lellv. sometimes useful In Irritable con
ditions of tha throat. The mucilaginous
substance Is known as lichenln. Its
chemical nature Is obscure. It Is
quite unaffected by the starch-digesting
fluids of the body. It Is very
doubtful whether It contributes In any
degree at all towards tha actual
nourishment of tha patient, since even
It tha introgenous matter and lichenln
of the moss were digested, there would
be less than one-fifth of an ounce of
solid matter In one-half pint of Jelly,
the rest being water. Occasionally
It Is recommended as a substitute for
starch In cases' of diabetes, but It Is
mora for tha sake of variety than of
nutrition, since while It may not ag
gravate the disease as starch does, it
will not afford sny particular nourish
ment. It affords a method for present
ing milk In Jellied form, when the
patient tires of milk as a liquid. In
tha days when "Jellies" of all kinds
were regarded with deep veneration as
being mysteriously nourishing. Iceland
moss had soma considerable vogue and
reputation. It was considered "very
strengthening" and got credit which
should have gone to the milk used
with it. Snail Jelly with milk had a
similar reputation 100 years ago. To
prepare the moss, -wash It In several
waters containing a pinch of soda, and
pick It over carefully for bits of shell
and sand. Soak In cold water until
thoroughly swollen (over night Is best)
then dissolve the swollen moss In milk
or water In a double boiler, cooking
until It Jells when dropped on a cold
plate. Sugar (If not for a diabetic)
and flavoring may be added to taste.
Mould like gelatine and serve cold aa
a dessert, with cream. If allowed. Or
use hot as a soothing gruel for In
flamed surtuces. Irish moss lemonade
la similarly made, the moss being dis
solved, over hot water. In lemonade
Instead of milk. This may be taken
hot or cold for a sore throat. The
slight "sea flavor" Is strongly objected
to by soma people and liked by others.
It can be partly disguised by tha use
of flavoring such as spices, fresh wel
low lemon or orange rind, chocolate
ttc. and la minimized by tha use of
a pinch of soda In the washing and
soaking waters, and In the Jelly or
lemonade Itself. It thus differs from
sago (1) In composition and food value,
sago being almost all starch and there
fore capable of supplying nourishment
when properly cooked; (t) In method
of cooking, ssgo being cooked at boil
ing point and Irish-moss at a lower
temperature (S) In flavor, sago having
practically no flavor except that
slightly sweetish taste produced by
cooking starch until soma part of It
Is converted Into a sort of sugar. Let
me know if this Is not the Informa
tion you desired.

'Fortland. Or.. Jan. 11. Will you pleaee
give a recipe for mocha balls rolled In
chopped nuts 7 Thanking you for the kind
ness. MRS. P.
Bake any good, very feathery cake
mixture, a "rather rich sponge mixture
preferred, though sunshine cake. Gen
oese pastry, velvet cake or rich sponge
cake with a small quantity of melted
butter folded in at the last may be
used In small round-bottomed Individ
ual pans. Put each pair of cakes to
gether with an Icing made by heating
together sifted confectioners' sugar and
butter, using two to three times ss
much sugar aa butter. The addition of
a little egg yolk makes a smoother
Icing, but the amount of sugar will
then be Increased. Flavor to taste
with strong coffee extract, with a few
drops vanilla. Beat as for cake or
hard sauce, until the mixture Is like
very firm whipped cream and will keep
Its shape. The exact amount of sugar
depends upon the kind used, the con
sistency snd flavor are the important
points. Cover the cake balls thus
formed with the Icing and toss like
croquettes in chopped nuts. For va
riety chocolate might be used to flavor
the icing. In place of coffee; but then
the cakes would not, of course, be
"Mocha balls." This same "Vienna
icing" might also ba colored faint pink
and flavored with vanilla or rose: or
palest green, and flavored with almond
or pistache. In the latter case apri
cot marmalade might be used instead
of frosting to hold the two halves of
tha balls together.
Another sort of mocha ball Is made
with chou paste such ss la used for
cream puffs, but put on the baking
sheet through a tube to secure a good
round shape. These are filled with
custard cream, flavored with coffee
and then covered with either the above
Vienna Icing or a boiled Mocha icing
and finished with or without nuts.

The Chief Food Needs
of Beauty
THERB Is always a lot of talk of
the superiority of this or that
diet, but it Is also a proved fact
that restriction in variety is very harm
ful. The human animal Is omnivorous,
requiring a greater choice ' of food,
more excitement for the palate, than
any other animal. The very difference
of tha fluids in tha stomach which act
upon different substances proves thla
Food must be something of a pleasure,
then, to bring pleasing results. It must
tempt the fancy as well as keep the
body going.
Now what is tha average American
regimen for tha day? For breakfast
coffee, meat and potatoes. For lunch
meat, potatoes and tea. For dinner
meat, potatoes or some other vegetable
of an indifferent sort, a pudding or a
piece of pie and more coffee or tea. It
may change a little here and there, but
on tha majority of days the diet is the
same. And the body of Venus herself
could not remain wholesome under such
commonplace and heavy tribute. You
hava sees your pimples and sallow
skin, felt your headaches and dyspep
sia all tha result, if you please, of tha
same stupid, heavy diet.
So begin changing things right away.
Eat meat only once a day. substitute
tha white ones for the red. hava fish
Instead of the usual meat course some
times, take to fresh vegetablea plainly
cooked, eat of green and fruit salads
of all sorts.. Leave off the Dibble of
candy or cake between meals, so that
Lyou may have tha hunger required for
digestion and pleasure when the time
comes for eating. Prepare your dishes
with the utmo3t care, serve them dain
tily and eat them with xest, content
ment and calm. If you do these
things, and eat slowly, besides, you
will asslmlllate better and be stronger
in body and fairer to see.
Those troubled with weak chests,
who are pallid and under-nourished,
need to consume more fat, and this is
best taken In the form of olive oil or
cod liver oil. The structure of the
lungs consumes a great deal of the
body's oil and when they are diseased
it stands to reason that they will need
all of the fat the stomach can take In
without hurt to tha digestive organs.
These oils are likewise beautifying to
the skin, smoothing it to satin soft
ness, while feeding all of tha underly
ing tissues and muscles.
The. nrosDectlve mother needs to ba
specially careful in her diet as any In
discretion here may bring on fatal con
sequences. Her food should be espe
cially nourishing, daintily set forth,
tempting to see and taste, and she
must partake of It without being dis
, turbed by family squabbles or cares
' of any sort. She has another body
j and spirit In her keeping, and through

can understand, she is extraordinarily

By what alchemy are beans, bread,
meat, vegetables, puddings and lee

of the body we know so well? Phy
sicians themselves cannot explain It.
for the greatest mystery of life Is not
explainable. The doctor only tells the
little mother-to-be that if she eats of

He only warns the girls that If they
gobble candy all the time, or eat piles

Regularity In meals is a great aid to
the beauty that Is to be obtained from
them, if each is taken at its appointed
hour there will be less liability to In
digestion and all its ensuing outward
blemishes. Nature's angels love to be
encouraged with punctuality.
As to between-meal eating. the
charge against It only holds good for
perfectly well persons. Those who are
111 and those of delicate constitution
may often require the little between
meal bite for the renewal of strength.
A cup of hot chocolate and a piece of
bread and butter at four o'clock or a
raw eKS beaten up In milk will give
the heart of many a worker courage to
go .on, while the extra energy so
gained prevents her body from taking
on the stamp of wasted fires.
I have spoken many times of the im
portance of keeping the bowels open
and I must add hers that even the
nectar of the gods would do nothing
for our beauty if this daily elimination
of the refuse of food be not considered.
Pimples, sallow skin, headache, the
bloated feeling and genesol depression
of spirits are the Immediate results of
constipation, and It may bring about
graver calamities. A teaspoonful of
olive oil -taken on going to bed at
night or else a glass of hot water con
taining a half teaspoonful of salt Is a
simple laxative obtainabla In every
home.
Here then are the chlefest food needs
of beauty what seems to suit your
especial constitution, as much food as
you need and no more, appetite, con
tentment and afterward the elimination
of waste. You must make food your
helDer and not your boss, the wining:
servant of blushes and lilies and fine
hair and a pretty figure.
. For the rest, sweet milk and cream
and buttermilk are all beautifying to
the complexion. Spinach and other
greens contain the salts useful for the
liver, and carrots, green beans, lettuce,
etc., all hold their own contributions
to loveliness and health.
There Is a saying. "Show me what he
eats and I will tell you how ha lives."
Transpose the saying, "Show me how
you live and I will tell you what you
eat." Either way you put It the speech
holds everlasting truth. We cannot es
cape the spiritual need of our banquets.
So guard thy stomach, for out of It
are the issues of thy sweetest looks.
Make eating a sacrament by looking
out for the nourishing foods and never
abusing them. Consider the seasons
and their gracious supplies, drink
fresh water between meals, breathe
fresh air, exercise. For all hygienic
living will count In the returns. Beauty
Is the handmaiden of reason.

Year Valentine Party
VALENTINE'S DAT, a day that is
given over to the expression of
sentiment, is the best day . in the
whole year for reversing the natural
order of things and giving a leap year
party. So. If you have not yet thought
out the kind of party you are going to
give on the 14th day of tha month,
make it a leap year party and combine
the customs and festivities of the day
and the year. .
Most of the success of a leap year
party depends on the enthusiasm of the
guests and their willingness to enter
into tha spirit of the old custom Vhich
decrees that once in every four years
woman changes places with man and
courts and cares for while man sits by
andraciously accepts this homage.
If the men enter Into the spirit of
the day thay will gather In little
groups, simper and giggle and wait
with feigned timidity for tha advances
of the girls. They, on the other hand,
must seek chairs for the men while
they themselves stand, must be solici
tous about draughts and must fetch
and carry all the evening that the men
may be perfectly comfortable.
Follow out a Valentine's day scheme
as far as the decorations are concerned.
Pink and red axe the accepted Val
entine's day colors, but as they some
times clash when used together It would
perhaps be safer to choose one of them
and stick to It for all decorations. Fes
toons of paper hearts and arrows in
the doorways, paper Cupids pinned to
curtains and draperies and perched on
shelves and backs of chairs, and a few
pink or red flowers will give a festive
air to the rooms In which the guests
assemble.

MAKE YOUR OWN
HAIR TONIC
A SPECIALIST'S ADVICB.
In a recent Issue the New York Herald
published a special article on the care
of the hair, in which was given the
formula for a home-made Hair Tonic
which was highly recommended for its
remarkable hair-growing properties, as
well as for stopping falling hair, re
vitalizing the hair roots, destroying the
dandruff germ and restoring gray hair
to Its natural color. This article was
of special interest to me, as the formula
was one which I myself have pre
scribed In countless cases with most
sstonlshing results. ' I remember one
case in particular in which I prescribed
It for a man who had been bald for
many years and in less than two
months after he began Its use his head
was completely covered with a luxuri
ant growth of rich, glossy hair, thus
proving that hair can be made to grow
on a bald head, notwithstanding the
opinion of many persons to the con
trary. For the benefit of those who have
not seen It before. I give the formula
herewith: 6 ounces of Bay Rum, 2
ounces Lavona do Composee. one-half
drachm Menthol Crystals. Dissolve the
Crystals in the Bay Rum and then add
the Lavona de Composee; shake thor
oughly and apply night and morning
to the roots of the hair, rubbing into
the scalp with the finger-tips. This
preparation contains no coloring mat
ter, but restores gray hair to its nat
ural color by its action on the hair
roots. If you desire it perfumed, add
one teaspoonful of To-Kalon Perfume,
which combines perfectly with the
other Ingredients and imparts a most
pleasing scenU Adv.

cushions and comfortable seats to their
partners, and to do any of the many
other little kindnesses that occur to
them to be In keeping with the leap
year idea.
To add to the fun each man should
be given a heart-shaped scorecard out
of red or pink stiff paper, and every
time he "forgets" himself every time
he picks up a fallen handkerchief, of
fers a chair to a woman guest, remains
standing until his partner has seated
herself, or so much as passes a plate
of sandwiches he should receive a
fine in the way of a little gummed
paper heart pasted to his scorecard.
At the end of the evening the man
having the least number of fines should
be given a prize. In like manner the
girls might be fined for accepting
courtesies from the men. The prize for
the man might be a box of cigarettes,

Health and Beauty Advice
BY MRS.
Ada T.: Avoid all complexion creams
which contain oil, as they make the
skin shiny and cause hair to grow on
the face. By stirring 2 teaspoonfuls
glycerine and one ounce almozoin into
H-P'nt cold water you have a match
less cream-Jelly for clearing, softening
and whitening the skin. It Is unsur
passed for cleaning the complexion and
making It smooth and youthful look
ing. Use this morning and night and
you need have no worry about the way
your face will look.
Mrs. F. B.: Weight reduction Is a
very simple matter. These old-fashioned
theories of violent exercises and
starvation are all nonsense, and at the
best furnish only temporary relief. To
take off fat, use this remedy: Dissolve
4 ounces of parnotis in 14 pints hot
water and take a tablespoonf ul be
fore meals. This simple, harmless
remedy works wonders where many of
the "sure cures" fail. It leaves the
skin smooth and firm.
W. A. B.: Only healthy scalps pro
duce beautiful, abundant hair. You
must keep your scalp clean by sham
pooing as often as necessary. The
following tonic will prove an unfail
ing remedy for dandruff, itching scalp
and falling hair: Stir one ounce of
qulnzoin into H-pint alcohol, then add
H-Pint cold water. Rub this tonic
into the scalp about twice a week. It
will do wonders for your diseased
scalp, and make your thin, straggly
hair thick, long and beautiful.
Elsie S.: That sickly look you have
besides your loss of energy and run
down condition, are due to a sluggish,
impure blood. Incident to the winter
months. This Is very common, but la
easily overcome by taking before meals
a tablespoonf ul of this simple system
tonic: In -pint alcohol dissolve one
ounce kardene, adding -cup sugar
and hot water to make a quart. This
is a wonderful blood purifier and
strength-restoring tonic. There is
nothing like it for giving one rich, red
blood, energy and good health.
Belle: The reason your hair looks so
dull and faded and is so hard to ar
range is that you have made the usual
mistake of shampooing with soap. Any
woman who uses soap shampoos cannot
expect to Have beautiful hair. It nay

should be a table for every four guests
and on each table a different game or
contest should be arranged. The guests
should be assigned to the tables in
pairs. This can be conveniently ar
ranged by marking the heart tallies for
forgetfulness with table and couple
numbers. Limit the time at each table
to 15 minutes. After the allotted time
Is up the players all change tables
going either In fours or twos to an
other table. If the tables change in
couples, care must be taken that each
player has an opportunity to play at
each table. A little maneuvering of
guests on the part of host or hostess
will keep matters straight in this re
spect. At the first table heart quoits can be
played. In the center of the table fas
ten a pin or hob, as it is called. A
wooden skewer wound with red or pink
paper and held upright on a square of
cardboard with sealing wax would do.
Bend wire into heart-shaped quoits,
fasten the ends together with thread
and wind the quoits with paper to
match the hobs. The quoits should be
two or three inches loi when fin-'

MAE MARTYN.
clean the hair, but does not remove the
pore-dirt from the hair roots. Your
hair becomes stringy and unmanage
able in a few days and you wonder
why. Let soap shampoOB alone and
use a teaspoonful of canthrox dis
solved In a cup of hot water for your
shampoo, it you want your hair to dry
evenly and quickly without streaking.
Canthrox makes the hair very fluffy
and bright and gives to the scalp a
feeling of pleasing freshness. You will
not catch cold if you shampoo with
canthrox and will find It makes your
hair look so very nice.
J. M. C: Cutting the hairs only
makes them come In heavier. Get an
original package of delatone and with
a little of the powder mix enough
water to form a paste. Put this on the
hairy surface and after two or three
minutes rub off, wash the skin and
every trace of hair will have vanished.
Druggists charge a dollar an ounce for
delatone, but it never fails to do the
work.
Mrs. V. G.: The woman who uses
face powder not only Is behind the
times, but does herself a personal In
Jury. Face powder is only a mockery
to beauty, as it clogs the skin pores,
causing wrinkles and other complexion
Ills. To have a perfect complexion, use
a good lotion such as the following:
Dissolve 4 ounces of spurmax in
plnt witch hazel (or hot water), add
ing .2 teaspoonfuls glycerine. This lo
tion gives the skin a decidedly refined
look of velvety smoothness. It re
moves the shine, immediately corrects
sallow, freckled complexions and does
not come off in the wind like powder
does or rub off easily when a veil is
worn. This lotion is a 'splendid "beau
tifler and skin whitener.
S. D.: Yes, no factor Is more impor
tant in a beautiful face than bright,
clear, youthful eyes. You should use a
good eye tonic. Get an ounce of
crystos, dissolve it in a pint of water
and use two or three drops in each eye
daily. It will clear and strengthen
your eyes, remove all signs of weak
ness and inflammation and make them
