Thanking you. MRS. H. B Small muskmelons may, be used in making "mangoes." The original mango pickles have, of course, real mangoes as a basis; but different va rieties, both sweetened and unsweet ened, are made from muskmelons, cu cumbers, peaches, peppers and, I think, occasionally from some varieties of apple and pear. The following are typical recipes which may be modified a little as to flavor and proportions to suit individual taste: 1. Melon Mangoes. Old Style. Place small green muskmelons in earthen or wooden receptacles and pour over them "brine to float an egg," adding one teaspoon alum to one gallon brine. Pour the hot brine over the melons. Repeat twice, letting stand six days after last scalding. Heat to boiling point Vin a kettle, and let stand over night. Repeat this. Remove one sec tion of the melon. Scoop out the in side, wash and soak 12 hours in acidu lated water. Make a stuffing of equal parts chopped onions, cucumbers, green beans, tomatoes and horseradish, mixed with cloves, cinnamon, ginger and mustard seed to taste. Fill the melons and sew on the removed sec tion. Place them in a crock cut side up, and pour on spiced vinegar. Use a board and weight to keep them be low the vinegar. In six days cover with unspiced fresh vinegar and pack into Jars for sealing and keeping. 2. Melon Mangoes. Spice Filling. Cut very small melons in half and re move the seeds. Soak in brine three days. Freshen in cold water and fill with the following mixture, putting the halves together and sewing or tleing together with twine. For every two tablespoons scraped horseradish add one teaspoon, mace, one teaspoon tablespoons white mustard seed, 12 black pepper corns and a few shreds of ginger root. To two cups of Uh mixture add one tablespoon salad oil, one tablespoon sugar and half tablespoon ground mustard. Pack the filled melons In a stone Jar, pour scalding hot vinegar over, draining it off and reheating three times, at in tervals of two days. Cover closely and keep for several months before using. Melon Mangoes, Cabbage Filling. Prepare as in recipe No. 2, but before stuffing scald in spiced vinegar. For stuffing, use one firm cabbage chopped fine, salted over night, and saueezed dry, half pound raisins, one cup grated norseradish, one cup nasturtium seeds, a few thin slices of ginger root, one- half ounce turmeric, one cup olive oil. one-nan. nutmeg, grated, two table spoons 'each celery seed and white mustard seed. A few tiny cucumbers, chopped, may be added, if available. Cover with either hot or cold vinegar. If stored in a crock, use a board and weight to keep the pickles from float ing. Seal closely. 3. Sweet melon mangoes. Remove a section from a small muskmelon. Pare away the rind and remove the seeds. For five or six melons pare and slice a dozen peaches, add cup each pre served ginger, orange peel and cherries, (all preferably home made) and mix with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, teaspoon mace and Vs teaspoon corean. der seed if liked. Fill the melons and sew the sections in place. For seven pounds prepared melons make a syrup with 1 pint vinegar and 4 pounds sugar. with Js cup "pickling spices." Or make your own mixture of spices, using cinnamon bark, oiades of mace, carda mon . seeds, celery seeds, cloves, tiny red pepper pods, and a small quantity or Day leaves, look toe melons, un covered, until they are easily, pierced with a skewer. Set aside in a Jar until morning, then drain off theyrup, heat to boiling point, and return to the melons. Repeat twice. - - Reduce " the Portland, Or., Auk. 24. Please publish t recipe for putting up sweet cucumber pickles. The little, ordinary pickles we find at all groceries. Appreciating the help and practl- Diiity or your recipes. M. is. ti. You will not be able, with domestic methods and appliances, to produce ex actly the "ordinary grocery pickles," but you may make somewhat less com monplace and more wholesome ones if you can get perfectly fresh even-sized gherkins. These, however, are seldom available unless you grow them your self. The "pickling cucumbers" on the market are seldom of suitable size, and are necessarily less fresh and crisp than those pickled from your own vines. Sweet cucumber pickles: Select per. fectly fresh, even-sizen gherkins not more than two inches long and prefer ably smaller. Soak in brine as usual and freshen. Wipe dry and put into a kettle with 1 cup sugar to 1 quart vin egar, 8 cloves, 10 peppers, 6 allspice, 6 blades of mace. Spice proportions and the kind used are matters of personal taste. Heat slowly to boiling point and seal at once in glass Jars. Some makers use glucose or honey in place of sugar. "Pickling vinegar" should be used. "White vinegar" is frequent ly used by- pickle makers, but Is not good for domestic purposes. Sweet Cucumber Pickles (greened) Select perfectly fresh cucumbers from one to two inches long. Let stand 10 days in "brine to float an egg," using a board and weight to keep them be low the surface. Wash thoroughly, re jecting those in the slightest degree soft, and freshen In cold water for 24 hours. Change the water and again let stand over night. Line . an unchtpped porcelain kettle" with grape leaves, put in the cucumbers, sprinkling each layer with a pinch or two of powdered alum. Cover with cold water and let simmer, very slowly, without boiling, until the cucumbers look green. Then plunge them at once into cold water to chill as quickly as possible.

MONO other things that a person with "nerves" needs to bear In mind is to forget "those things that are behind" and everlastingly keep doing the things that promote health. No clasg of patients has the discouraging "ups and downs' to meet and so many of them as those who have disordered nerves. Persons are making headway physically even when they feel "way down" If they are on the right course. A steamer In a storm has many ups and downs, but it Is going ahead all the-time. When a person has the consciousness that he is pursuing a course in har mony with the physiological laws of living, he must make determined effort not to yield to the depressing feelings that are bound to come at times. One tendency when the "downs" come is to engage in self-analysis and introspec tion. The more one does this the more frequent will be the "blue" days. Con tinually remember that these days do not indicate that all progress has come to a standstill, or is off on a vacation. Do not begin to cast about to find a scapegoat in some harmless article of food eaten or pleasure taken. Just simply "forget lt" Upbuilding Taken Time. A person anxious to recover a good balance of nerve power cannot afford to become weary in well going. One cannot earn b.tck in a week or month what he has been years in spending. It takes time, patient efrort, resolutely making the mind triumph over sensa tions. A man said to me, "I worked so hard in college that at the end of the year I was a nervous wreck. I could not sleeo. I could not eat, I thought I was going to lose my mind. It took me three years before I began to feel like myself again. When nerve force is once depleted it takes a long time to recharge the neu rine batteries. Nerve energy is a vi tal force, a vital bank account, and when the principal is once drawn, it Is a difficult matter to restore lt Many ever can and so have to be contented with conducting the business of living on a less capital or go Into bankruptcy, Mental and Physical Rest. There are varying degrees and every shade of nervousness from that manl fested by the individual who is too weak to lift the hand off the bed or that of the person who screams from fright at a sudden and loud noise, and who almost Jumps out of his chair when the door slams, to that shown by the man who Is "all in" at the end of each day, but keeps the nerves down with a. firm grip. For the first classes absolute rest of body and mind Is necessary for a time to insure encouraging results. Five minutes' conversation Will spoil the day for some women. Meeting a stran ger is too much for others. Per sons in this condition and even those who are able to be up most of the time suffer most intensely. A sudden noise will send acute, tearing pains from the ear into the brain and down the entire spine. TheBe are not imag inary pains even though they last only for a moment. In these severe stages of nervous exhaustion, the best place for the sufferer Is in a sanitarium where the proper attention can be given to rst. diet and treatment. Rest cure is. what is needed. Scientific water treatments are a splendid sub stitute for nearly all medicines, and the less of the latter given the better. Water can be applied in a hundred different ways to soothe, to energize, to allay pain, to lull the restless, Bleepless patient into restful, refresh ing sleep; to encourage cell activity, to promote digestion, to enable every function of the exhausted body to rally around the inner defenses and save the day. Massase Proves Beneficial. Massage, in well-trained hands, is a most efficient therapeutic measure In treating the nervous patient. The treatments need to be gentle, short in duration, and adapted to the individual needs. Long and severe treatments with vigorous manipulations of the spine are entirely out of place. For a time the exercise of the patient needs to be passive, but as endurance in creases and there is less fatigue, gen tle active exercises can be engaged in. gradually increasing the time and manner of exercise according to the Increase In strength. Persons with a lower degree of nervousness may not need to go to bed. but this treatment will give them a tremendous start on the way to health again. All nervous persons require frequent periods of physical and men- UEAXTH AND EFFICIBNCY HOW ' TO MAJCXTAIX BOTH. By Frederick M. Roslter, B. R, M.

F. writes. "(1) Is kiDDered or smoked fish hard to digest? (2) Would eating raw tomatoes, sprinkled with salt and olive oil, be good to cure constipation, or is the salt harmful?, (3) Does a sameness of menu bring on constipation? (4) Is corn bread hard to digest? Reply. 1. More so than fresh fish. 2. It will help, but alone is not like ly to give any definite results. A rea sonable amount of salt is not harmful to persons who do not have disease of the kidneys. 3. It depends entirely upon what the food is. If high in proteid, yes. If coarse diet. No. 4. No. To one who has normal di gestive Juices no food is hard to digest when properly prepared. It Is only a question of time. Rice may take one or two hours and boiled pork may take five to digest. If one has deficient di gestive powers then the foods that take several hours, cause trouble and we say that they are hard to digest. Again we say that a food is slow in digestion, or hard to digest, when it Is resistant to the action of the diges tive Juices, as, for Instance, the fiber in meat and the cellulose In vegetable foods.

NURSEMAID'S UNIFORM OF WHITE MEETS FASHION White Linen Gown With Long Sleeves and Buttoned Cuffs Correct for House Wear, While Street Calls for Dark Gray Costume. CARTWHEEL CUSHION IS FOR SWING IN AUTUMN Green Linen and Pussy Willow Silk to Match and Emhroidered Field Posies Combine in Attractive Effect. CONVENTION has dictated a cor rect and distinctive uniform for the nursemaid, whose' vocation Is clearly expressed by her garb wher ever she may be. A conventionally dressed nurse may never be mistaken, as some other nursemaids have been, for her young charge's mamma. Neith er does her raiment proclaim her to be the mald-of-all-work, sent out for an afternoon with the baby. In England there are training schools for nursemaids and every school has Its special uniform; and dignified, smart and capable is the English nurse in her quiet cape and little bonnet. The French "bonnie" -has a, peculiar costume of her own prescribed by Parisian convention; and this costume is so picturesque that any woman pos sessing the luxury of a transplanted French nursemaid Is only too glad to have the "bonnie" dress in Parisian fashion. Indian Nurses In Demand. As distinguished as the French nurse In America is the Indian "Ayah" in England. Wives of army officers bring these faithful dark-skinned nurses back from India, and the "Ayah" is highly prized as a most perfect nurse, though her native cos tume would be deemed a little too picturesque for daily exploitation in Morningslde Park by the average American mamma. In the house, the correctly uniformed nursemaid wears a simple but trim gown of white linen, with long sleeves having cuffs that may be unbuttoned and turned back to leave the forearms free. White buttoned boots accompany me wnite irock; and a large apron hemstitched at the foot in a deep hem and having a shoulder strapped bib, is always fresh and crisply immacu late. The nursemaid may wear a cap or not. This point is unimportant. Outdoor Drees of Gray. When the nurse prepares to take her small charge out for an airing, she changes her white linen gown for one of dark gray mohair and the white boots are replaced for buttoned black boots of unobtrusive and uncoquettish style. Over the gray gown goes a long double-breasted gray cloth ccat with a deep cape to the waistline, and the coat is matched by a tiny gray cloth bonnet, faced under the brim with white and having wide strings of white lawn. If preferred, the cape coat may be of navy blue cloth and the bonnet also blue with white strings. A deep white linen collar and wide white linen cuffs add great smartness to the long coat of dark material and the collar and cuffs may be so ad Justed by snap fasteners that the nurse may remove and attach them easily, even when dressing in a hurry to go out with her little charge.

LAD ItS' HAIRDRESSING IN - LONDON AND PARIS By Constance. When I was in Europe this year I found both cities so thickly dotted with hairdressing parlors and hair goods stores that I wondered if the women ever had time for anything but care of the hair. Personally I was chiefly in terested in finding a really good shampoo and I found that they never use makeshifts but always some item made for shampooing only, and I was happily surprised when several in quiries each brought the suggestion that our own American made canthrox shampoo is best. They like it because in addition to being perfectly safe and making the hair free from all dan druff, excess oil and dust, it is so sim ple to get canthrox from any druggist and just dissolve a teaspoonful in a cup of hot water, knowing you will then have a preparation that makes the hair not only entirely clean but so fluffy that it appears very heavy. Canthrox stimulates the scalp to healthy action, making the head fee good, and the hair look good. Adv.
