wisely.
For there’s Bob, he just will drive and he’s on the sunny side of the
Ford; gets sunburn on the left ear, till it looks like a wheat cake right
off the griddle.
Then Junior, always an explorer, picks up a locust thorn in his
most prominent muscle—it penetrates half an inch.
And Clarice, fond of butterflies, gets stung on the upper lip by a new
species that she finds buzzing over the horse-mint bloom.
Little Mary insists on carrying 4 he lunch basket many times too
heavy for her—trips over a bump—takes off a section of epidermis
from one fat knee.
Tom, the profound, none too en _ getic and peppy—picks up at least
a pint of chiggers—and they ALL depend on MAMMA for first aid. All
run to Mamma when in distress.
On that day’s outing, take along a kit containing, (1) scissors; (2)
a roll of celan adhesive plaster; «3) a bottle of mercurochrome; (4)
clean muslin or gauze for bandages; (5) a splinter forcep; (6) a bot
tle of carbolated vaseline; a can rf antiseptic dusting powder. Don’t
rely on liquid vegetable antiseptics,—most of them are powerless for
killing germs. If a cut finger, let it bleed awhile; then pour mer-
curchrome into the cut and around it. Dry quickly and apply ad
hesive plaster to close wound. Treat “skinned” abrasions much the
same, except carbolated vaseline on gauze next the wound.
For the thorn in Junior’s flesh—pull it out and splinter forcep; soak
the puncture with mercurochrome; cover with adhesive. Treat the
chiggers and sunburn at home. Carbolic soap and cold cream applied
freely. Watch this column for next.
POTATO SALAD TEMPTS ON HOT
SUMMER DAYS
A plain cold-boiled potato is cer
tainly a most unappetizing bit of
food. One would have to be very
hungry indeed to want to eat it
“as is” but from cold boiled po
tatoes one may make delicious po
tato salad that is an agreeable sub
stitute for any hot potato dish dur
ing the warmer months.
So-called American potato salad
is made by cutting cold potatoes
into dice, seasoning with a little
chopped onion and parsley and
mixing with mayonnaise dressing.
Some cooks add a little whipped
cream to the mayonnaise to make a
lighter salad.
Viennese Potato Salad
This calls for two cups sliced
cooked potatoes, one small onion
minced, one pickled beet minced,
one cucumber, sliced, one herring,
four sardines, one' tablespoon
minced boiled ham, one teaspoon
salt, one-fourth teaspoon black
pepper, and \one-half cup of vine
gar.
Pick over and break into pieces
the herring and sardines, mix all
together and pour over one-half
cup of vinegar, and garnish with
sweet pickles.
German Potato Salad
Though the potatoes are served
cold the salad is mixed when the
potatoes are still hot. Select six
medium sized potatoes. You will
also need one-quarter pound ba
con, one small onion, 1-4 cup hot
vinegar, one-half cup hot water,
two tablespoons salad oil and salt
ard pepper to taste. Boil the po
tatoes and peel and slice while
warm. Cover at once with dress
ing made as follows:
Cut the bacon into small dice,
put in frying pan over a slow fire.
Shred the onion into a large bowl,
add salt, hot vinegar and hot
water. When the fat is light brown
and the dice are well crisped, add
the salad oil and pour it into the
vinegar water and onion mixture—
turning it slowly at first lest it
solatter. Serve on crisp lettuce
leaves, garnish with pickled beets.
Serve at once or well chilled.
Potato and Tomato Salad
Pass the yolks of three hard
boiled eggs through a sieve into a
bowl. Season with celery salt, pep
per, a dust of curry powder and a
little sugar. Add two tablespoon
fuls of oil, working it into the
yolks of the eggs by degrees with a
wooden spoon. As soon as a per
fectly smooth paste is formed pour
in a dessertspoonful of vinegar.
When the ingredients are thor
oughly mixed add very gradually
three tablespoons of thick cream
and sufficient chopped parsley to
give the dreeing a speckled ap**
pearance. Remove the skin from
some potatoes which have been
boiled and allowed to get colcf.
Then cut them into moderate! r
thick slices. Cut up some peeled
tomatoes in a similar manne.*.
Dress the potatoes with the egg
mixture and arrange them neatly
jin a salad bowl. Place the slices of
How to train BABY’S
BOWELS
Babies, bottle-fed or breast-fed, with
1 any tendency to be constipated, would
' thrive if they received daily, half 'a
teaspoonful of this old family doctor's
prescription for the bowels.
That is one sure way to train tinjr
bowels tc healthy regularity. To avoid
the fretfulness, vomiting, crying, failure
to gain, and other ills of constipated
babies.
Dr. Caldwells' Syrup Pepsin is good
for any baby. For this, you nave the word
of a famous doctor. Forty-seven years of
practice taught him just what babies
need to keep their little bowels active,
regular; keep little bodies plump and
healthy. For Dr. Caldwell specialized
in the treatment of women and little
ones. He attended over 3500 births with
out loss of one mother or baby.
