will give the farmers the benefit of this

A Clever Idea.

A dish drainer was thought out
by an invalid whose mind is much
stronger than her body. 1t was so
cleverly thought out that it saves
at least one-third of the work-the
great, great work-of dish drying
The dishes are firmly held at their
lower edges in the bottom of the
wire basket. They are rinsed on
both sides at tie same time and do
not steam. There is a central bas-
ket which holds knives, forks and
spoons upright, insuring perfect
drainage and preventing soaking
and loosening of knife handles. No
pretty finger tips are scalded i'll

Renewing OiIcloth.

When oilcloth has been down for
a few months and is losing the
shiny surface it can be renewed east
ly, and it will last twice as long.
Melt little ordinary glue in a pint
of water, letting it stand on the top
of the oven till dissolved. Wash
the oilcloth thoroughly and let it
dry. Then at night when the traf-
fc of the day is over 90 over the
whole thing carefully with a fan
mel dipped in the glue water. Choose
dry sday for it, and by morning
the glue will be hard and will have
put fine gloss, as good as new, on
YOUR floor.

breakfast dishes and one that Is

is absolutely simple, and yet it seems
to be almost impossible to get II

Now, this is essentially an Amerl-

Of course it takes good materials
for the composition of this break

way to cook it, and the details are

them:

Chintz Covered Walls.

An idea utilized in an out of the
way attic room which had to be
converted into a bedroom at the
least possible expense was that OF
covering the walls with old fashion
ed chintz-not paper, but the gen.
uine woven material. The sort
chosen had a ground of cream, on
which full blown roses were strewn,
just the daintiest thing imaginable
and costing only few cents a yard.
The room never having been used
for anything but purposes of stor-
age, there was no wooden surbase,
and the chintz was hung before this
was put in, so that the lower edges
of each strip were concealed.
