When It came— for not for ten thouaaml angry tooth rra would Mary Ignore her own father —he moved quietly to Iter aide and held out Ilia hand for the packages. "If you’re going back to your hotel I'd like to walk with you." Mary, her heart t>eatlng quickly, put the little bundles In hla hand. "Yea, I've Onlahed my shopping." she aald, simply. “ Will you walk, or ride?" "Hide, I think," replied Mary. Cluude Dabha stopped a passing taxi and het|a«t hla daughter In.

Rhubarb Conserve Liked a* Accompaniment to Meal By a "conserve” Is usually meant a fruit preserve containing such Ingr«*- dlents as oranges and lemons, nuts, raisins, and various other additions t j the fruit from which the conserve takes Its name. A conserve Is liked as an accomptinlment to cold meat, or as a luncheon sweet with bread and butter, biscuits, cookies or plain cake. Here Is an excellent conserve made from rhubarb. The recipe Is furnished by the United States Department of Agriculture: 4 cups rhubarb cut t lemons. Julca tin« 4 cupa augar. X oranges, Julca and I grated rind 14 teaepoou salt. a n d g r a t e d rin d . c u p b la n ch a d a lm o n d s c u t ta sm all p laca* Combine all th* Ingredients except the nuts.

The time of cooking de|«ends on the tenderness of the rhubarb but do not cook the con serve too long and so lose the attrac tive pink color and fresh flavor of the rhubarb. Add the nuts, stir well, and let the mixture cool before pour ing Into clean Jelly glasses. If It Is put In hot the nuts will rise to the top. Thla amount will All about eight Jelly glasses. If desired the nuts may be omitted. Ring Formation Left on Fabric Can Be Removed The rings left on the fabric around the place from which a stain has been removed are usually due to an accumu lation of the sizing or dressing placed on the cloth by the manufacturer. Thla dissolves In the solvent used In clean ing and "ran i" Into the outer edge of the circle o f moist fabric. Often this can l>e avoided by gently “ working" the solvent Into the fabric with a piece o f cheesecloth or a sponge, having a blotter or cheesecloth pail underneath to absorb the soiled solvent as It passes through the fabric. In this way the dressing may be scattered into the surrounding fabric where It will not show. A very bad case o f ring forma tion can only be reme«lied hy dipping the entire garment in a solvent such as gasoline. This Is not a wise thing to do In the home, however, as the danger of fire not only from open flames, but from electric discharges between parts o f the garment Is very great. 1 Vitamins and Minerale Vegetables and fruits are rich In min erals and vitamins and thqpe are food substances that children especially need for building strong, healthy bodies. Children need two servings o f fruit and one or preferably two servings o f vegetables every day In addition to potato, so the child spe cialists say. Though practically nil kinds o f fruit and vegetables are good for children, they recommend that oranges, grapefruit, tomato««* and green leaf vegetables be given most frequently. Poor Use for Abandoned Well Do not use an abandoned w ell,for a cesspool. Such practice may pollute near-by wells or distant downhill wells, and Is prohibited by law In many of the states. Methods of safeguarding wells are explained In two Farmers’ Bulletins, "Farmstead Water Supply” and "Sewage und Sewerage o f Farm Homes." Conetituent* of Milk Food Label Requirement The mineral constltuenta o f milk that are especially Important to the body are phosphorus. Iron and lime. Milk Is much richer In lime, the chief constituent o f hones and teeth, than are most other foods, and this la one o f the reasons why It Is an excellent food for children. Tbe only positive label requirement In the ftnleral food and drugs act Is that all canned food labels shall bear a correct statement o f the net weight o f the contents of the can. If other statements are made on the label, they must be true und must not be false or misleading In any particular. Meat Keepe Indefinitely Dutch Cocoa» Different <©. 111?.
