I have two favorite receipes for dumplings, one of which demands mashed potatoes as well as a small aâ€" mount of flour, the other receipe which is almost as gcood will be better to use until potatoes become more plentiliul. The potato dumplings which are supâ€" ‘posed to contain croutions in the cenâ€" ster are known in Austria as "Dumplings with the melting heart." The crofktons "may be omitted, and the dough formed in balls. Dumplings for Stew 1% cups sifted flour. 2 teaspoons baking powder 4 teaspoon salt. 1 egg, well beaten 4 cup milk. _ Mix and sift dry ingredients. Comâ€" bine wellâ€"beaten egg and milk and stir into dry ingredients. Beat well. Drop mixture by tablespoonsful on gently boiling thickened stew. Cook uncoverâ€" ed 15 minutes, basting frequently with the stew gravy. Yield: about 12 medâ€" iumâ€"sized dumplings. One of the best tricks which the housekeepr plays upon the family in her meat stretching program is offterâ€" ing dumplings with a dish of the stew type. I wish that there was some other word that could be used to deâ€" scribe a favorite*meat dish withn a sauce. I never did like that word "stew". Of course, T don‘t like all stews, but some of them are wonderful. The other day, I made "Boeuf en Daube" but instead of baking it I cooked it in a large fryâ€" ing pan, covered of course, over very low heat. It took just abou<i the same length of time as it does in the oven but I had to add a little extra liquid before it was done. I cooked dumpâ€" lings on the top of it, but found that in the frying pan which has so much surface, it was necessary to cover them for the last five minutes of cooking. +*Drop dumplings on gently boiling ’t‘ifickened stew. ‘Cook uncovered 15 minutes, basting ‘fi'equently with the stew. «Yield: 12 mediumâ€"sized dumplings.

The youngster will inâ€" crease in weight for a few months, then there appears to be little or no gain for several months. Then, just as they are becoming concerned about this lack of gain in weight, the youngster again makes a definite gain. How are parents to know whedder their youngster is gaining in strength and weight at the normal rate? It me youngster is well and keeps active, ways wanting to eat and to pby. mo fact that he fails to gain weight deâ€" spite getting plenty of food should cause no worry. It is likely that mucn of the food eaten is going inte growth in height and width of body. Note: If desired, 14 teaspoon celery salt and *4 teaspoon nutmeg may be sifted with the dry ingredients,.

Barber) of Bours Bobp If food is correct, and there are no bad~ habits interfering with gain in weight, then there is something definâ€" itely wrong and the child should be exâ€" amined by the family physician. Some infection . such as adenoids, tonsils, or some digestive disorder is preventing the child getting the full benefit of the food eaten. The family dentist may be able to find infected teeth which drain the strength and prevent gain in weight or sore or missing teeth that interfere with proper chewing of the food and proper mixing with the saliva. ‘"There ds always a reason or several reasons for failure to gain weight wiwch can be discovered by persistent sea*ch and the correction of which sncuta leave a child free to gain."

Habits which interfere with the normal rate of weight gain are iIrâ€" regular meals, late bedtime, overtired. ness, eating too rapidly or being ftoo tired at meal time. j The first thought is about the food eaten. Does it lack any of the eleâ€" ments necessary for growth? What about the proteins â€" meat, eggs, fishâ€" and the minerals â€" vegetables, milk, cheese, whole grains? These are ‘the fcods rich in minerals. If not enotuighn of these mineral foods are being eaten, then they must be increased in amount and the foods poor or low in minerals, â€" bacon, sugar, confectionery, butterâ€"â€" must be reduced. "It should be emphasized that if ; child is getting enough food, enovigl calories, body building materials (pro teins and mineral salts) and vitamin in its food, it will gain at about th above or normal rate unless somethin: is holding it back."

They have also bred varities from which the characteristic marigold odor, unâ€" pleasant to some, has been eliminated. Marigold seeds are rather large and soft. While the plants are quite hardy the seeds are apt to rot in cold, damp soil. The tall varieties should be given plenty of room.
