Show 0 comais mais sphere T by one on of the th sex box w the food we eat we are discussing meat and its preparation pa ration and next to steak roast meat is oft enest used for dinner I 1 do not think that either one of these ways is the best or most wholesome of cooking meat but both are used in preference to boiling or broiling if you wish a roast order the amount you think your family will use and dont plan to have much left over as it requires time and much skill to use warmed over meats A rib roast is the commonest and if the beef or mutton is young and fat this makes a very good cut the porter house has the loin in but the other side is not very juicy some people get a roast from the round but that is dry and comparatively tasteless have the butcher cut out the bones and tie up your roast and allow a quarter of an li hour ur for every pound in roasting if you wish it rare if you have one of the patent double baking pans all you need to do is to pepper and salt the meat put a lump of butter or drippings droppings drip pings on top and with a dust of flour your roast is ready for the pan it can be closed up and left to work out its own glory with no further care from you if you use the old fashioned baking pan you must turn some boiling water be sure it is boiling on the meat as you put pt it in the oven and then every ten minutes after the baking is well on op open n the oven door and baste the meat if if you do not attend to this your meat will be dry and poor no matter how good it might have been been under other circumstances everybody thinks she can make roast meat gravy but the lumpy thin sr over thic thick travy stuff which I 1 sometimes aee on tables convinces me that many people dont know much about gravy americans are great people for gravy and it would be a good thing for their digestions if they were not quite so fond of this greasy and useless article however if you must have it make it good and palatable for any kind of meat gravy see that I 1 you have not too much grease rease in the pan then take a spoonful spoonful of browned flour you can brown this in the ovena oven rub it into the grease as it boils and pour apinton a pint of cold water in stir it well to remove all lumps and season it and see that it is neither too thick nor too thin dont put gravy in the bowl in which the thickening was stirred up it is such an offense to the eye isyou if you people must have grav gravy V every day keep a little pot liquor on hand and with that and a bit ot of dripping you can make tolerably I 1 gravy cold roast meat can in many ways hash is a frequent second appearance of cold meat and meat pies it if made with a good crust and plenty of juice are good and are liked by children stews of cold meat must de be prepared by an accomplished cook if they are to be palatable still for hungry boys they can be made if care is used not to make the g ravy gravy too thick nor noi thin and to brown the flour so as to avoid the white pasty look so common to stews to roast a beefs heart wash well then stuff with breadcrumbs bread crumbs and butter two eggs a little parsley and chopped onion cut off all the fat about the heart as this fat is hard and spoils the grav gravy or as well as the roast itself cook a medium sized heart two hours and a half in a moderate oven in the next paper I 1 will tell you something abent the cooking of boiled meats the clothes we wear the spring always brings bright colors and fresh tints the darkness and cold of the winter months which have been more or less reflected in our clothing give way to a riot of light and warmth and fresh beauty before the march days have reached us the weary woman who is much upon the streets either for business or pleasure is hunting in the hat shops lar for so something methin cheap yet spring like and breezy the he milliners have hardly prepared themselves in salt lake for this beelin feeling this spring and numbers of anxious anxious vers buyers are put off with the assurance that in a few days some of the longed for spring hats will be in in chips are to be popular this spring and rough straws hold high favor the newest shapes seen in in the east are broad brimmed yet irregular in outline with higher crowns that we have had for a little while with the advent of the dress modes of our grandmothers which are called the 1830 styles will come ithe the poke bonnet in more or less modified form we had this same bonnet style with us about twelve years ago and suppose we shall endure it with as much cheerfulness as we did then little girls are promised to retain their own simple styles of dress while the charming effects of greenaway and gretchen styles will long have their influence upon the dress of tiny girls it is is a comfort to know that if one has to modify ones own dress styles every year or two there is every evidence of retaining the easy and comfortable fashions tor children which have so long obtain ed it is a great help to the mothers of little boys to go to the stores for every article of clothing her boy wants after he has once advanced to the dignity of trousers by the way why is it that boys trousers can be called pants with impunity when it is so reprehensible to use that term for the pantaloons of men if pantaloons or trousers is the correct term for that part of mens wearing apparel why is it not the only correct term for that same article when worn by a boy girls in large schools are adopting the simple and healthful blouse and short short skirts for school wear and it is not only simple but it is a great help to the mother however it necessitates a n new ew dress for school wear instead of a fixing over of the last winters best dress do you ever ask yourself what becomes of the immense numbers of rap rags made by city peoples s wardrobes when you remember I 1 mem er now how many yards of carpet were made from the few and carefully treasured ragbags of our mothers I 1 might suggest to the mother who hates to throw away or burn any sort of useful material that the relief society still finds use for this article and that the deseret hos hospital ital is is a most excellent place to sen send all your white rags to it is as wicked for us to waste it we are worth them studs as if we were worth nothing t all president young used to aej say ui that this people would be called to a strat strict account some day for the food and aid clothing materials which they wasted and this day will surely come I 1 have seen mothers burn half worn dresses of their little girls which would have clothed a poor child for months do you burn your rags our children THE INFANTS DIET whether your newly born infant nurses as soon as it is washed and dressed or waits for a few hours until it has rested it is a good plan I 1 la n to give it all that it seems to wish for or while le nursing some woman have very little milk at brest and if that is so in lieu of any thing better I 1 should certainly advise feeding the child if you are sure you have not milk enough for its use dont be in a hurry burry about drawing the baby from the breast let it stay for a quarter of an hour the milk will come more readily next time if the breast be thoroughly drawn now then if the child still nestles and seems hungry fix a little milk or cream and hot water two thirds water to one third milk or more water if cream be used sweeten this slightly not so much as the natural milk of the mother for sugar is hard for the child to digest if you can get lactated sugar from the drug store it is much better either a rubber nipple or a spoon can be used but the child must be fed very slowly because it is weak and cannot digest a lot of stuff if it be poured hurriedly down the tiny throat I 1 will give you my idea about this feeding of a new born infant the child is hungry and if it gets only a little milk from the mother it will waken very much sooner for more this begins the habit of frequent nursing at once and besides that when the milk does come it is so easy for the mother to relieve her overcharged over charged breasts so frequently by urging the poor baby to keep on nursing and thus too frequent and over nursing is is immediately set up and the child is on the high road to unhappiness and ill health if the mother would allow the infant to nurse just as long as it cared to a greater supply of milk would come in answer to the natural appeal and the next time less feeding would be t r know women who never need to feed their babies one drop from the very first now when baby has taken his first meal put him in in a nice warm thoroughly warm crib away from draughts of doors and glare of light but ohl oh dear dont keep him in a room where there is no ventilation ventha tion you would not give him rotten food dont give him rotten air then let him sleep putting him down on his back there leave him and nothing but his own volition or the crack of doom should be allowed to interfere with his slumber make all the noises ou need to make from the first so that aou ke e will get used to sleeping with necessary noises but avoid loud slamming af of doors and shouting have sunshine in the room but shield it from his eyes while he is asleep I 1 could almost fa Ka guarantee ua rantee if baby has been treated as I 1 ve e advised his first firest sleep will last for from four to six hours if it does let it last when he ries cries L if it is over three hours since he was put to sleep you may take him up and if he needs changing do that at once and if it should be night or morning and he needs dressing or undressing do 0 that also before he is allowed to nurse no matter what your grandmother may have to say dont nurse him until every necessary act ha has s been performed then he can drop off to sleep when full and can be laid down without rocking A child should not be fed before it is washed it is very hurtful our ailments PIN WORMS IN CHILDREN THE USES OF OIL while many doctors aver their disbelief in worms in general there are very few who attempt to deny the frequent presence of pin worms in the lower intestines I 1 have known mothers who have extracted periodically many of these parasites from the bodies of their children when the little ones complain of itching and when they manifest the other well known symptoms of worms it is well to give something to eradicate the nuisance but while we do this let us ask what food begets these troublesome things meat too much milk and su sugar ar are the causes of this disorder while while brown bread maple syrup or hone honey and plenty of fruit and vegetables will starve them completely out of the system so while administering corrective medicines or please do not forget to administer the much more needed correctives of change of diet if you are sure of the presence of worms a strong enema of salt and water will expel most of them and relieve the child some people buy the worm lozenges in the drug stores which are composed of and essence from the jerusalem oak in talking with dr R B pratt one day about this complaint she suggested that the most recent medical cure for this was the use of enemas of plenty of olive oil she asserted that the oil would kill every parasite with which it came in contact I 1 wondered how many more uses the medical fraternity would find for our blessed olive oil every few days I 1 find in the papers some testimony of eminent authority to the usefulness of olive oil for this or that disease for years I 1 have used consecrated oil in my family for bums and cuts to the infinite amusement of some of my over practical neighbors who think that oil is only to drop on the head in anoint in ing and is not for the immediate healing anny of any and every disease I 1 used the oil because of the faith I 1 had in the blessings which had been pronounced upon it by the priesthood just this week I 1 find in the new york sun a statement from a most learned physician that olive oil is the best remedy for a burn being applied upon cotton well I 1 did not know although I 1 might have known if I 1 had thought a moment that science would so closely grasp the hand of faith but it is so I 1 expect now to hear that olive oil off is the best remedy in the world for cuts and bruises some of acquaintances who strain at a knat and swallow the camel object to my using consecrated oil for such common purposes as bums warts or for enemas in in cases of pin worms or other internal disorders well if the oil is meant only to be used on the head I 1 have have never found it out if a wart is not sickness it certainly is an evidence of unhealthy secretions in the blood and what is sickness but a departure from health if we could only put the faith in the oil that we do in the worm lozenges or in the rabbits toot foot the cure would be on quite as natural principles ples and would mor moreover dover be in accordance with our revealed religion when will we learn leam to understand that god is a perfect being and that he knows his own laws and when he speaks it is well for us to listen and obey when we remember how patient we have to be with each other in order to live at all in this world we can guess at the patience of our heavenly father who has to be patient with us all ph physical y cical culture BREATHING EXERCISES the beginning and end of every days exercises ought to be proper and systematic breathing if you have not studied this subject at all you would be surprised surprised to hear the scientific assertions ma made easto as to breathing of all the myriad of cells contained in the lungs only about one third are used by ordinary women who wear the corset or of even tight bodices without bones this is because a compression is upon the lung and it becomes a final habit to breathe only with the upper part of the chest when you undress tonight just put your hand band upon your chest and see if the respirations of your lungs cause the upper part of your chest to move up and down you know the rubbish we read about the beautiful rise and fall of beautys bosom well that rise and lall jall if it was natural must have been caused bythe by the strongest sort of emotion and that of momentary duration or beauty must have been arunm running i ng at a pretty rapid rate for some time before the rise and fall the truth is that your chest ought not to rise and fiall fell with any perceptible motion the movement oi of breathing if felt at all should be equally sensible at the waist line and even in the walls of the upper abdomen after you have felt of your own chest get your husband or oldest boy to breath for you not in a labored way but naturally and ana you hold your hand hana over his chest over the waist line and observe the motion Is it not as I 1 say and why pray should your our method of breathing be different to kis his no one can tell but the corset makers and the so now one of the very most important lessons for you and your girls to learn is how to breathe that sounds funny dont it but it is gospel truth nevertheless th so put your hands upon your waist without any dress on OB mind and then breathe trying to make your middle swell out aust just below the short ribs this will be e difficult to do at first but you will learn by and by keep this up for some moments and then take in full breaths in sips like the air was water sip 81 sip si sip if sip sip sip until the lungs are buil full V of air meanwhile your hands should rest over your waist to make sure that the swelling movement is there and not in the upper part of the chest when your lungs are quite full and even well distended expel the air slowly with a sort of blowing sound with the lips pursed up as if about to whittle whistle oo do this again and again until you have perfect control of the diaga diaphragm by the way do you know w what at the diaphragm am is is an and d w whereat hereit is well as it is absolutely essential to this exercise that you do understand something labout about it I 1 will wili have a lecture |
