overcareful wife tssbllssfully unconscious
of this fact.
The right method TO treat a good carpet
is to lay L carefully on a soft bedding OF
thick layers of newspapers or OF brown
paper The printing ink newspapers Is
dis..ked by the moth. which viii avoid
such Innings as place unsultabie ior the
laying of its eggs.
Thus. thick folds of newspapers not only
give a thick underfeoting for the floor,
but relieve the housewife Of one souree
of worry-motlls IN her best carpet. The
papers should be renewed each time the
carpet Is taken up.
1t is best TO have the carpet cleaned
and relaid by professional Cleaners from
any furniture shop, yearly, as this pian'
which is cheap enough prevents mnen
strainfne and havoc made with the car
net in taking up, beating, cleaning and
putting down again.
In ordinary cleaning, the carpet as
rul-, is very badly treated by the usual
carpet brushes. When the carpet is swept
by a vigorous hand-wielding of one of
these brushes quite ha.f the contents of
the dustpan viii be pure nap, rent un-
sparingiy from the carpet.
This is very bad policy, indeed. A brush
like a Clothes brush is the sort to use.
and one specially kept for the purpose of
carpet sweeping would be good invest
ment
Remember, the carpet must be brushed
the way of its nap. Nap dragged daily
the wrong way weakens and is easily
pulled out Yard by yard the carpet
should be gone over with the brush and
all stains noted daily.

In the growing list Of salads, fish, both

alton In some of the ingredients. Here
is a good general rule, although the roast
beef may be supplanted by veal or besf
tongue, and chopped pickles. boiled beets,
or hard-boiled eggs, be added. Cut in
thin, uniform slices six cold boiled pota-
