well as its physical benefits7
There are cases on record proving
the benefits OF public school cooking.
where the domestic sky has been per-
fectly cleared OF clouds because good
food was offered where before It had
been badly cooked, and consequently

father was proud Of the daughters
skill as a cook; the mother, who had
grown careless and shiftless and in
different. was shamed by It. The con-
sequence was better provision on the

The neither was by no means above

Hints for Housekeepers

Old newspapers are quite invaluable
to the thrifty housewife.
Spread on the kitchen table when
any dirty work is in hand, they will
protect the wood from becoming soiled,
and will save not only the labor Of
securing, but the wear and tear Of
brushes and the waste of soap.
For window cleaning newspapers an
swer the purpose as well as busters.
and for polishing stove it is as good
as brush, and makes less dust.
Newspapers should be used as much
as possible for cleaning, for it not only
prevents unnecessary wear of brushes
and cloths, but also saves the house
hold washing BILL
Printers ink is the best polisher yet
found for glass. Use a soft cloth for
wiping, and polish with newspaper.
Beetles have a great objection to un-
Stacked lime, and a few pieces of this
placed in their haunts will generally
keep them away.
The odor of cloves is very unpleasant
to ants, and if whole cloves are scat
tered in the places where the ants are
found, they will disappear.
