Thanks also to the semi-total

CLEANING THE FLOWER VASES.
Tea Leaves and Vinegar Should BE
Used TO Remove Stains.


The careful housewife is now con.
fronted with stained flower vases at
every turn. The summer flowers have
this effect on crystal, china and silver.
II fresh water is put in the vases
twice day the stain is not apt to ap.
pear, but doing this takes time and
trouble.
II is forgotten even II one intends to
do II, and the consequence is the vases
are filled at the bottom and in the
crevices with green brown stains that
are far from pretty.
And again, they are far from easy
to get out Possibly everyone does
not know that there is no method of
removing them so excellent as the use
OF tea leaves and vinegar.
Place a handful OF used tea leaves in
the bottom of the vase and pour over
them little vinegar Then place the
hand over the top of the vase and
shake steadily until the marks have
disappeared.
! II this does not take them all out
add little fresh vinegar, wind q soft
cloth around a small sharp stick and
run II around the vase and In and out
of the crevices.
This will effectually remove even
the most obstinate stain caused by
water and flowers that have been left
for two or three days in one vase.

A LIaht Lunch.

The lighter lunch may be, and at
the same time nourishing, the more
desirable It is when the mercury is
mounting. A bowl of some prepared,
uncooked breakfast food or cold boiled
rice in which peaches are sliced, or a
baked apple is combined. and eaten
with plenty OF cream is all that the
average person needs at the present
time. Should girl feel hungry be-
fore night she may take glass OF
milk and yichy, or cold matted milk,
or even an egg phosphate. which will
stay her until the evening meal. Sand.
witches and milk make an excellent
luncheon, particularly II topped of
with fruit of some kind.

in Berlin has in its supper room a
curtain made of champagne corks
Four thouand corks with their silver
or gilt covering have been threaded
on thin rods decorated with colored
ribbons and embelllshed with small
copper balls. Il gives a very decora
tive effect at a distance and has the
appearance Of Japanese panel. Each
cork is from a bottle OF champagne
costing about a sovereign. so that the
curtain represents an expenditure OF
something like $4,000.

The first indication of croup is hoarseness, and in a child subject to that disease it may be taken as a sure sign of the approach of an attack. Following this hOarseness is peculiar rough cough If Chamberlain's Cough l;cnedy is given as soon as the child becomes boarse, or even after the croupy cough appears, t will prevent the attack. It is used in many thous- ands of homes in this broad land and never disappoints the anxious moth CTS. We have yet to learn of single instance in which it has not proved eifectual.
