V Before the Khootiiiffs, Mrs. Oeller took her family to n photographer and had a group picture tukeu. ,Then 8he took them homo, bathed and t nuked them in bed. One by one, she shot them through the benrt, putting towels over them to prevent powder burns, ' One NtriiKgleri ' Klalne, 10, apparently struggled with her mother. A neighbor boy heard someone cry "murder," and saw her pulled hack in the house. Hhe alone was not tucked in, hut was laid across the hod.

Mrs, Flwrhpi Fish, enjoyment of "Mrs. Uumpstead Leinh," charmliiK three-act com edy hy Harry James Smith, which was produced with n , local cast under the direction of Tom Hwem at Si. Mark's Guild hall Inst night. And the fact that the dramatic fever "took," will ho more than fully evidenced when the capacity of the cozy little hall ts taxed to Its oxlremest limits tonight, nnd Med ford Is given Its last chance to witness the work of as clever a collection of home talent as ever gathered on u local stage. The action of the play itself re volves around an amusing situa tion that of a strong minded older sister, extricating herself and her two "dependents," an impos sible mother and a too honest young sister, from the shadow of a past saturated in patent medicine notoriety, and thrusting thorn Into a solution of Long Island blue blood. -How the latter slips off the surface nd exposes the under- coatlngH In the two dependents, only to bo slapped on with renew ed and lasting effects by Mrs. Bumpstead Leigh, the feminine Napoleon of the trio, forms the basis of a series of laugh provok ing situations. v lOdith Kish, who carries the title role, handles her difficult charac terization with remarkable ease. Hhe Is ably supported, In spite of the "make believe' antagonism, by her youthful and beautiful younger sister, played hy Jo Mur ray Hostel, and Frances Kenney, In the comic Interpretation of the mother, Mrs. DeSalle, more truth fully known as the. wife of old Jim Sa I os, patent medicine It I n g of Missionary Loop, Indiana. Fletcher Fish, in the side-splitting character of Peter Swallow, former suitor of Delia Hales, alias Mrs. Bumpstead-Lelgh, almost stops the show during his brief domination of "stage center." A splendid -piece of team work is contributed . by the butler nnd roguish little muld In the Hawson household at Long Island, played respectively by Kalph Iturgess and Miriam McDonald. Mr. and Mrs. William U. Hamil ton, Jr., who slapped 41) years and a convincing Long Island accent Into their make-up kits and lived the life of Justin Hawson and his sister, deserve Individual bouquets, as do Harold Urown nnd II. Sher wood Hinman, as the two Hawson boys, who disprove the belief that all men aie brothers under the skin, even In spite of the fact that thiy are born beneath the same roof. Hoberta It ebb adds color and Interest as Mrs, Stephen Leavitt, another "old family" product, and Uene Wright, of Dover Hond fame nouirtbules his best In the role of Stephen Leavitt. Managed by Mrs. Porter J. Neff and produced under the nusplces of the St. Mark's Altar Oulld, the two night engagement Is happily already un assured financial as well as an artistic success. And as Mrs. Humpstead-Lelgh ripples merrily on toward Its final ourtaln tonight the same old criti cism will be voiced In regard to thoso Tom Sworn productions Jiey don't happen often enough.

WW "" j t1 Rarely docs a single food contain all the elements of nutrition. But too often meals are served without regard to this fact. To promote health, fruits, vege tables, meats, eggs, fish and cereals should bo eaten for the contribution each makes to the system's needs. What is more, desserts, jellies, jams and confections may be included. Not only do they contain wholesome elements, but they round out the meal in a most satisfying way. Tho taste appeal of many foods is definitely increased by using sugar as a flavor. A dash of sugar to a pinch of salt will heighten the flavor of most vegetables. Try this suggestion in cooking spinach, tur nips, peas, cabbage, tomatoes and string beans. The same rule applies to the preparation of meat and vege table stews. Doctors and dietitians recom mend a diversified diet. They also approve the use of sugar in making essential foods appetizing. Most foods are more delicious with sugar. The Sugar Institute.
