Barter- Barley water, gruel and
jelly differ only In thickness. For
barley water use two leret teaspoon
fali of barley Hour. Make it into a
paste with cold water and add lo it
a pint of boiling water, stirring con- -tinaally
to pretent lumps. Add a
pinch of su and 000,1 Ior at ,east
itt hour, adding sufficient water at
the end to make a pint of liquid.
Strain through a cheesecloth or game
strainer. If gruel or Jelly is desired,
use two to eight times as much flour
to thet same amount of water. Pearl
barley my be used if nicessaxy. The
grains must soak overnight and be
cooked for three to four hours. Use
a heaping teaspoonful of the grains
for a pint of water. ?
Oatmeal. Hare a pint of water
boiling in the top of the double boil
er; add half a teaspoonful of salt and
drop jn gradually half a cup of oat
meal flakes, stirring all-the while.
Then, cook, for three hours and strain
through a wire slere. Thin with boil
ing water to the degired consistency.
Rice and ' Wheat. -Rice Jelly is
made In the same way as barley jelly.
The directions for cooking the vari
ous wheat preparations appear on the
boxes.; but all such preparations
should be cooked at least three times
as long as Is there indicated and
should be strained and thinned to
the proper strength with boiling wa
ter. '-. -'. "i !
K tireless cooker is a great neip
In the preparation of cereals. It por
ridges are cooked for the family
breakfast, a large gpoonful of the
cooked porridge may be added to a
pint fit boiling water, heated, stirred
and strained to make a thin gruel.
, Corn MeaL Corn meal ; gruel Is
especially good tor the nursing moth
er, as li seems to promote uie now
ot milk.; Hare a quart of boiling
salted water and add a cup ot fine,
yellow corn meal which has been
stirred Into) a thick paste with a little
water as may be needed. Eat with
milk and sugar, or as desired. , Grits
is also an excellent food, but needs
long cooking.
" Fruits and Fruit Juices. '
Orange and all other fruit juices
gbould, be strained through a wire
strainer or a cloth, so as to remove
every particle ot solid matter, and In
addition should be diluted by; using
an err rial nnnnfltv nf wlr tnr a hah
of .five months, gradually diminish
ing, this, amount nn til the juice is giv
en purei n .
, Apples may be stewed! or baked. :
iPrunes are prepared as follows:
Wash them well through, several wa
ters, .then pat . them to soak over
nlghtv- Cook them the -next day, in
the same water. It will" take only a
little cooking to make them perfectly
tender, . A .very little sugar may- be
added, but for a baby it is best to
omit the sugar, as the fruit has its
own sugar. The clear" juice Is lax
ative, In the second year the cooked
fruit jnay be squeezed through a col
ander -and the strained pulp given
to the baTy.
., - Bleats. .
' Scraped Beef or Mutton. Tako
meat, ;, preferably from the round.
tree from tat. Place on a board and
scrape with a silver spoon. When
you -have the desired amount of meat
pulp, shape Into a pat and. broil on
a hot, dry spider. Do not cook too
' long.' - When done, season with a lit
tle saty and butter and serve. A few
drops of lemon juice may be. added.
BeefJaice. Broil lightly a piece
ot the round of beef, 'cut In strips,
and squeeze the Juice out' with a
meat press or; a large lemon squeezer.
The Juice may be extracted without
cooking the meat at all. This is ac
complished by soaking beet in cold
; water. Vte a pound ot chopped round
ot beef. Put it in a glass Jar with
one-fourth as much water. Turn the
jar upside down now and then and
allow the meat to soak for several
hours er overnight, keeping it on Ice.
In the morning, empty the whole in
to a coarse muslin bag' and squeeze
out the juice. Season with a little
salt. .This juice should not be cooked
' but warmed slightly before weeding
it, and may be added to milk it de
sired, i- It needed . more quickly,' put
the beet in a bowl with crushed ice.
Cover the meat and Ice with a small
plate weighted down with a flatiron.
Broths. Chicken, beef or mutton '
may be. used as the basis ot broth.
Use a pint of water to each pound of
the meat.. Put the meat on In cold
water and allow it to come to a boil,
then lower the fire so that it will
barely . simmer tor three or four
hours.' Or prepare It In the tireless -cooker
as directed for soup.
When the meat is tender remove .
It and add enough water to make up
the original amount of liquid; strain
through a wire sieve and set it away
to cool. ' When cold the fat may he
removed In a solid piece. leaving a
ciear liquid or jelly. Heat a small
portion, seasoning . with salt only.
Broth has little or no nutritive value
in itself, but if added to milk, or
thickened with arrowroot, cornstarch
or gelatin, or eaten with dry bread
crumbs. It becomes a real food.
It it, is desired to use the broth at
nnro nmir ah . i;ti t 1

Outstanding Points , , .
of Normal Infant
An Inexperienced . mother is often
greatly at a loss to know, whether a
baby U properly thriving or not. and -may
be unduly alarmed at small
matters, or may not understand the
serious nature of certain conditions.
It may be helpful to mention the
leading characteristics of a normal,
healthy baby, and' the mother may
assume the lack of these conditions .
to show that temporarily or other
wise the baby Is not in perfect
health: . - ;," - - .
A steady gain in weight. , i ' ,
Bowel movements ot the normal
number,- color, and consistency. ;
Absence ot vomiting or regurgi
tation of the food.
A good appetite.
A clear skin. ,
Bright, wide-open eyes.
Alert, springy muscles, which re
spond readily to any. stimulus. ,
A contented expression.
Very little crying. ,
Quiet, unbroken sleep, with eyes
and . mouth tightly closed.
No evidence of pain or discom
fort. A constant growth In stature and
intelligence. ,
Other points in a normal develop-.-
ment are: ... "' , - '-
The soft spot in the top of the
head begins to close at 14 months
and should be entirely closed at two
years.
The baby learns to hold up his
head, unsupported, during the fourth
month. -' . ' " '.
He laughs; aloud from the . third
to the fifth month.
He reaches for toys and holds
. them from the fifth to the seventh
' month. ' ' ;
At seven Or eight months he Is
usually able to sit erect and hold
the spine upright. .
During the ninth and tenth ).'
.During the ninth and tenth
months be makes the first attempts
rp bear the weight on the feet, and
, can usually stand with assistance at
11 or 12 months..
He begins to walk alone In the
twelfth and thirteenth months and
walks alone at the fifteenth or six
teenth month.
At one year usually a tew words
can be spoken, and at the end of
the second year the baby makers
short sentences. ,
Children differ In the rapidity ot
their development, some being slow
er and 'some' faster; therefore, the
mother should not be upduly alarm
ed at variations from this statement,
although marked differences should
put her on her guard.
Have you weighed and measured
your child? If yor child does not
meet the rrqufred weights and
measarement.i of the following
table It Is not normal and should
be taken to the August clinic.
There's trawon for every ab
normal condition.
