SUGGESTIONS.

Il Is the suggestion of thrifty woman
that pieces of children's dresses Of wash
materials should be included In several
launderings to secure the requisite
change of color that will make patches
unnoticeable.
The house mother, in planning her
children's diet, will not forget that rice
is deficient in natural fat; therefore, to
make it a really useful article of food, 1t
should he cooked with milk, butter, or,
in winter bit Of bacon. Rice should be
steamed, unless it can be boiled In milk
or stock, for IL boiled In water 1t loses
valuable elements in the process.
Colored starches Of delicate tints-
ecru, pale pink, green or blue-are sold
to use in the laundering OF white muslin
and lace curtains, to which articles they
impart the desired shade.
II cup Of hot coffee Is all that bur-
ried man or woman has the appetite or
time for these hot summer mornings, 1t
may be made nourishing, and still keep
its good flavor II fresh egg is well
beaten In the cup, little cream added,
then the sugar, and lastly the coffee
poured in gradually. When adding the
coffee stir or beat constantly with An
egg-beater o. spoon, or use q shaker -
In making lemonade.

continual dropping Of mucus, irritating
the throat and causing you to cough? Is
your breathe unpleassntly affected and
accompanied with bad taste? Is your
hearing less acute? II so, you have
catarrh and should at once procure q

MOIh PREVENTIVE.

In this age Of fearful moth preventive
smells il is worth while to know that
moths will never go where there art
lavender bags. Even where they have
begun their ravages in furs or feathers
it is said by Farm and Fireside that a
lavish sprinkling Of the articles with
good lavender water will prevent further
damage.
No one can ask for purer or pleas
anter odor about garments. A liberal
distribution Of lavender sachets In
closets. drawers and trunks will give you
the satisfaction Of making sweeter your
belongings with the weapon which drives
away their depredatOrs. Put lavender
sachet in your piano II you fear moths
will ravage the felt.

HER HOUSE WAS LOOTED.
Burglars Visit the Residence of
Mrs. Morrison, Twelfth
Street.
Albert UiberaH Arrested and Sus-
pected of Being Implicated
in the Job.

Reports OF burglaries have not been so
frequent of late at police headquarters,
but although the police have arrested sew
eral men in the business there are still
others in the field.
Yesterday morning Mrs. Mary ]. Nor
rison, 218 Twelfth street, reported that on
Friday night, between and o'clock, her
house had been entered and several valu-
able articles of iewelry stolen. She left
the house at o'clock to make a call, and
when she returned shortly after 8 o'clock
she found that every room had been visited
during her absence. Bureau drawers in
the bedrooms had been thoroughly
searched and their contents thrown upon
the floor. The bedclothes had been care
fully searched, apparently for money and
every nook and corner ransacked.
Among the articles missing were two
gold watches, gold bracelet, gold chain
with bangle, a gold pin, rings, earrings
and a few pieces of bric-a-brac
A rear window entering upon por oh
was open, which showed that the burglar
had climbed up the porch and forced the
window open. In his hurry to get away
he did not close it.
Yesterday afternoon Detectives Graham
and Anthony arrested Albert Ulberall on
Harrison street. between Seventh and
Eighth streets. They had been looking
for him for several days. About week
ago he broke into the ladies' tailoring es-
Enlistment of Stein & Co. in the Murphy
building and stole lady's dress. waist and
cape. The detectives recovered the dress
from a woman to whom UiberalI had gwen
it. He admitted committing tn e burglary.
When searched at the City Prison a
ladys watch and fob chain were found in
his pocket, which the detectives think NAV
belong TO Mrs. Morrison on Twelfth street.
They also recovered from the woman three
pairs of gold earrings, two gold ring s and
other iewelry which she had received from
Uiberall, and which they believe are the
proceeds of burglaries committed by Uiber-
