Vary the Way of Cooking
v inter Vegetables
Winter vegetables need not become
monotonous if one takes pains to vary
the way they are cooked. Here's a
combination of two good foods that
can be found In every country stor
age cellar and on any grocer's counter
In the country. Yet, when put together
they make a tasty dish that seems like
oraething new. This Is an excellent
accompaniment to roast pork or roast
beef In fact, to any meat dish which
gains savor by the addition of cooked
apples. The bureau of home econom
lea of the United States Department
of Agriculture enumerates the Ingredi
ents needed:
( medlum-slied car

2 tha. fat
1 tbs. eupar
tsp. salt
Scrape the carrots and cut them
lengthwise Into thin slices. Tare the
apples or leave the skin on, as pre
ferred, core, and cut Into slices about
a fourth of an Inch thick. Tlace a
Ingle layer of the apples and the
carrots in a large skillet with the fat,

eyes that (she was a very .bright bird.
The eyes of the bird always show
Just how much wisdom and intelli

that she had a great deal.
When any one spoke to lief, her
eyes looked very bright. They watched
the person who was speaking to her,

attention.

Letty belonged to a little girl named
Alice. Now Alice fed her parrot some
very nice seeds and bits of corn. Letty
thought ihe had fine food, and every
day after lunch Letty would have a
piece of cake.

Lemon Has Variety of
Uaes in Any Household
The lemon h;is a variety of uses In
the household aside from that of food.
A slice of lemon kept near the sink
in the kitchen Is useful for removing
fruit and vegetable stains from the
hands, nnd helps to keep them smooth
and soft.
A half lemon placed in the washing
machine makes the laundry beautifully
white.
Lemon Juice and salt rubbed on an
iron-scorched spot on white garments,
then placed In the sun, will remove

It is excellent as a dentifrice, and
makes a refreshing mouth wash.
Used In the bath It softens the wa

freshness and exhillration.

By MARY GRAHAM BONNER
It was a small piece but It wag ex
tremely good!
Letty learned to say almost every
thing after a while. My, what a talker
she became.
And she wanted to show Alice how
pleased Hhe was with everything so
she chatted pleasantly most of the
time.
When callers would come they would
ask if the parrot was ever tttill, and
then Letty would suy:
"Kver still? No, never Btili."
They always laughed then, and did
not mind her chattering. For after
they had been there a little while Let
ty muttered and said things In very
low tones so as not to disturb any
one.
It was night time and Letty had her
head under her wing. Sometimes she
slept this way, Just as a canary would
sleep.
Rut often she would huddle up on
her perch and doze off with her head
dropping down a little on her chest.
Rut this night she was sound, sound
ulseep and her bend was hidden away
while she was dreaming of seeds
and cuke und all the goodieg that par
rots love.
All of the family were asleep when
Letty Hoemed to notice something
strange.
She didn't like the smell that came
to her. Now she was wide awake.
She didn't want to disturb the fami
ly. She was a good parrot, and never
disturbed any pne who might be sleep
Ing. Rut this she knew was not right.
She was sure of it.
The smell became stronger and there
wag something rather frightful about

Resides wall hangers depict Ink vari
ous scenes, linen pictures can be had
for framing, also pillow tops. How
ever, now that Interior decorators
have In this day nnd age revived the
vogue for wall hangers nnd are plac
ing so much emphasis on their effec
tiveness, we selected this very pretty
specimen as a most timely theme.
The Idea In brief Is that by moisten
ing the linen and working with the
colored pencils according to the
printed chart which comes with each
subject the tones and tints resolve
themselves Into a most exquisite water-color
effect.
Materials for this work Include a
small brush, a box of colored pencils,
the stamped linen piece (every pat
tern has a chart attached giving the
color scheme) also material for lining.
The first step Is to dip the brush In
water and moisten a small portion of
the design. Then work over with the
pencils using the chart as a color
guide. The little panel centered In the
illustration Indicates this chart In
miniature. On the original, tiny let
ters are printed "IT for black, "r"
for yellow and letters In combination
when two colors are to bo blended.
To make a stronger effect the pencil
itself Is dipped In water.

Vegetable Fritters With I
Cold Sliced Meat
Nothing like crisp vegetable fritters
as an addition to a plate of cold sliced
meut of any sort. The bureau of
home economics of tho United States
Department of Agriculture tells how
to make celery fritters:
1 cups sifted loft
wheat flour
tsp. lt
t tsp. baking pow
der 1 esrir
1 cup milk
1 cups chopped
celery
1 tbs. melted fat
Rift together the flour, snlt, and bak
ing powder, add the beaten egg, milk,
celery, and fat. Fry the celery frit
ters In deep fat or, If preferred, In a
skillet in shallow fut. In either case
drop the mixture by spoonfuls into
the fat and fry rather slowly. The
fritters need time to cook through to
the center before the outside becomes
too brown.' Drain the frltterg on ab
sorbent paper and serve hot

Teaching Children
(Tntpared by the Vnitrd utie rtirtmont
of Agriculture.)
Several good results are obtained by
teaching children, from the earliest
age, to feed themselves nnd take part
In filch activities as laying their own
places nnd carrying food to and front
the table. They soon learn, also, to
help mother by setting the table for
ninny meals nnd putting away silver
and other clean utensils and dishes
after meals.
The most Important effect of en
couraging self help at meal times Is of
course on tho child himself, llo de
velops steadiness In his muscles and
self confidence as ho gradually bo
comes able to manage, a plate, or
gla-s, or trny containing both, without
spilling anything. The little boy In
this picture from the bureau of home
economics of the 1'ultod Slates Do
partment of Agriculture Is only three,
and be has reached a point where he
can safely carry his own lunch from
the kitchen to his little table. He
calls It "playing cafeteria."
The Joy of accomplishment In doing
this means far more to a little child
thnn an adult often realizes. Some
times mothers who ur In a hurry to
get work done, say "Here, I can do It
quiver," or "I'm afraid you'll slll It
.other will carry It for you." What
If he does spill a little food on a wash
able tray? He can lenrn not to with a
Uttlo practice. Let him start by car
rying one dish not ensy to tip a bowl
of cereal, or a plate of vegetables.
The first time he carries his entire
lunch without spilling a drop, he needs
a little praise; ho will try to do It as
well evvy time.
A child as young as fifteen months
can be given his own spoon and fork
to fit his small hands, and a chance to
practice eating. Feeding himself will
be slow, awkward, and apllly at first,
and the mother Is constantly tempted
to save time and musg by taking the
