oneself Is a great source of self-con­

any mother to have her child able to
dress himself without her help and go

to take pride In selecting what he

and when they ought to be put away
or laid out, ready for another day.
In the past, one of the greatest ob­

the complicated system of buttons and

Soy Beans Are Becoming
Popular as Table Food
Soy beans, long considered In this
country as feed fit for live stock only,
are gradually finding a place on the
American table. Soy beans have been
utilised for many centuries by the peo­
ple of the oriental countries In the
preparation of numerous fresh, fer­
mented, and dried food products.
Extensive experiments In North
America and Europe Indicate the value
of soy beans as the basis of food for
persons requiring a low starch diet,
says the United States Department of
Agriculture, and for many years food
companies have had on the market
forms of soy bean flour prepared for
persons requiring a diet o f this kind.
Investigations have shown that soy
bean flour as a gruel Is a most valu­
able food for Infants.

should have ao many buttons and
openings. And In different suits they
may be In different places, so that the
special manipulation of each suit has
to 'be learned.
After studying the faults of boys’
suits as made heretofore and the ways
to remedy them, the bureau of home
economics of the United States De­
partment of Agriculture has designed
a number of practical suits which
overcome some o f the most undesir­
able features. It Is suggested that
until a little boy has learned to solve
the problem of how to fasten his own
things, the same basic design be used
for all his trousers so that buttons and
buttonholes will always be In the same
convenient place. Variety may be ob­
tained by slight changes In detail,
color, material, and so on. Simple
front openings are recommended, with
biuttons and buttonholes that are eas­
ily manipulated and uniform In size.
For a very small boy who wears the
Oliver Twist type of suit which has
the trousers buttoned to the blouse, a
simple end satisfactory design Is
shown In the picture. The trouser
leg Is cut without a side seam and
the placket. Instead o f being on the
side Is slanted forward to make a
front drop. The plackets are finished

Ways of Using Leftover Rice
( Prepared by th* United sta te« Department
of Arrlcultnm.)
The United States Department of
Agriculture recommends some o f the
following ways o f using cold cooked
rice:
Cold rice, or rice reheated by steam­
ing. may be used as a breakfast dish
with sugar and cream, with stewed
fruits with baked or coddled apples.
Rlcs reheated by steaming may be
served on a platter surrounded with
carrots and peas, or turned over In
browned butter or other fat.
Rice may be combined with vege
table* and served cold with cheese
sauce or mayonnaise as a salad.
Rice may be used for thickening
soups, or In scalloped dishes Instead
of bread crumbs, or combined with
fhopt>ed meat and seasoned with on­
ion, parsley, or celery iced and made
Into croquettes.
Rice mixed with a little chopped

makes a good stuffing for tomatoes or
baked fish, or to place between two
steaks of fish for baking.
The tougher cuts o f meat may be
combined In stews with leftover rice.
Rice may be recooked In milk, snd
a little butter or other fat and sugar
added. This makes a nourishing dish
for children or Invalids.
Rice scalloped with white sauce In
which chopped or grated cheese has
been melted, makes a substantial and
appetizing dish suitable for luncheon
for supper.
Wster from cooked rice may be used
In soups, for the liquid In scalloped
dishes, or for starching sheer mate­
rials.
