EARS ago in a village high in the Welsh hills I dis-. cussed baby-feeding with an old woman who, in her time, had helped all the bables in that
istrict to face the world.
Unfortunately, her knowledge of English was somewhat scanty and my knowledge of Welsh perhaps more rudimentary, but there was ons word which she kept trying to Impress upon me-halen, which means salt.
She had proved the fact that not all bables have a sweet tooth; on the con- trary qulle a number have a strong. be predilection for n savoury flavour, and they only really do well when their special tastes récolve attention.

To vary the shape of steamed pud- dogis, use a cake tin or attractively- shoped jelly mould occasionally.
When using cocoa in place of chocolate, use three and one-half tablespoons cocoa for each ounce of chocolate, and add one-half table- spoon butter.
Chocolate should never be melted over a direct flame, but in a jar or pan over hot water, Stir frequently with a wooden spoon.
Papers which have contained but- ter should be saved and used to cover steamed puddings, vegetables, or a making cake; or they may be used for lining cake tins, requiring no further greasing.
When cooking kippers, lay the soft side downwards on a roasting tin and bake for ten minutes. No julces are detected in this way.

Likes Spices
Meat is refused by my small son, but he will take sausapes and pies, also bacon. Is it safe to give these in place of fresh meat?
NO, made-up dishes and foods con. taining highly-seasoned meat are not suitable for children. Moreover, I feel that it is a big mistake to give in to faddiness of this nature, for your son has no real antipathy to ment as meat. if he can enjoy it in sausages 'and pics.
Refuse to give in to this fad on his part but sec, coume, that the meat offered to him is nicely cooked and daintily served, also that it is of good quality and free from tendon and gristle, for this will easly put off a child with a finicky appetite.

Older children certainly need reasonable amount of salt with their food, thought, this is best added during cooking so that it is properly distri buted. "Salt helps with the digestion of fats, for instance, and the child who is trained to ent ittle salt with his lightly-boiled egg-will-bo-less inclined-polsonous and eating-them-might-lead- to bilious after-effects.
Finally, a certain amount of salt in the diet provokes thirst; which is all to the good, as it is essential, that every child, as also avery infant, should have plenty of water between meals.

First Aid For Furniture
your upholstery is of fabric, such us damask, tapestry, or repp. much of the dirt in it will be loose, and can be removed by beating and brushing. Take the furniture out of doors If, possible, and then first beat it vigorously with a cane or carpet- beater, and afterwards brush it with a fairly hard brush, such as a new cheap nallbrush. You'll be sur- prised how the clouds will dy.
When you cannot take the furni- ture out of doors, try covering your sulte with damy dust-sheets--they must be quite wet Beat through these sheets, and they will collect the rising dust and keep it from im- pregnating: the air of your rooms.
Clean up the upholstery with bran, Spread a dust-sheet under the furni- ture to catch any spilings. Heat plenty of bran in a pan in the oven, stirring with a stick so that it will not burn. Then rub handful after handful into the upholstery, taking new lot of bran us the old gets solled. Afterwards brush thorough-
ly.
To clean a plush suite, take a bow! of water to which a good hand- ful of common salt has been added. Wring out a cotton cloth and cover the seats with this, and beat gently. Then rub over the surface with a clean cloth rinsed in clean water.
For cleaning leather upholstery, you can use ordinary shee cream or make up the following refresher:- Mix one gill of linseed oil, a half- all of methylated spirits, and the same quantity of vinegar, in quart bottle; shake well, and it is ready to use. Always give the bottle * shake-up before using. Apply with a soft cloth and polish with a dry duster. This is also a useful French polish reviver.
