How TO REMOVE STAINs.-Every house
keeper knows the annoyance of finding
your garments, table linen, etc.. SEEM
ingly ruined by accident. If one knows
just the right remedy, however, and APP
plies it in time, what is to all appear
ances hopeless case may sometimes be
remedied.
To remove scorched spots from linen,
make paste Of half an ounce of white
CASTLE soap. finely shaved, halt an ounce
of powdered borax, two ounces of earth
secured at the druggists, the juice OF
two onions and and cupiul of vinegar;
stir well and let boil. When cool spread
over the scorched place and let it remain
until dry.
Blood stains should be dipped first in
kerosene oil and then washed. Peroxide
ofhydroeen will also remove them, and
they will sometimes disappear by simply
washing in lukewarm water.
Grass stains may be removed by GOV.
ering the spot with molasses and then
washed.
Coffee stains may usually be removed
by moistening the spots and holding
them over the fumes of small piece of
sulphur placed in an iron vessel. Sui
phur being an acid, wash the stained
parts at once in water containing a
little soda. If the spot is small it may
be held over a burning match. The
vapor from burning sulphur will often
remove stains that nothing else will
affect.
II ink spots are taken in time, they
will usually yield to applications of salt
or sweet milk. When the ink has be-
come dry, oxalic acid may be necessary
to remove it.
Many housekeepers use no other
method OF removing coffee, fresh fruit
stains, ETC., than simply pouring boiling
water back and forth over the stain and
letting soak for twenty-four hours in
strong borax water.

Father of Life, thank Thee, too,
For old acquaintance, near and true,
For friends who came into my day
And took my loneliness away;
For faith that held on to the last
For all sweet memories Of the past
Dear memories of my dead that send
Long thoughts Of life and of lfe's end,
That make me know the light conceals
A deeper world than it reveals

Dreamed Cabbage-Cut fine as for
slaw, boil thirty minutes in sailed
water. drain, add cup of sweet cream
one beaten egg, teaspoon of butter, pep
per and two tablespoons vinegar.
Dreamed Beets-Boil beets, peel and
cut into dice, turn into saucepan, ad
salt, pepper, one tablespoon butter, one
cup sweet cream and four tablespoons
vinegar. Serve hot. Veay nice.
Delicate Cornbread-Three eggs we'll
beaten, two cups flour, two of milk,
small half cup shortening, three tea
spoons baking powder, salt. Bake
twenty minutes in very hot oven.
Scalloped Beets-Slice boiled beets
thinly, put in saucepan, add little
hot water. Rub together one table
spoon OF butter and small one of flour,
stir into beets with one-third cup vine
gar. Add more water if too tn ok, salt
and pepper to taste.
Turnip Kraut-Pare the turnips and
cut off plenty of the top so there will be
no strong taste. They can then be cut
in three or four pieces and ground in a
sausage grinder, which is the easiest
way, or a kraut cutter can be used
Salt as you would for cooking. Pack
down tightly in jar and put on
weight; if after few weeks the water
settles and does not cover the kraut, a
heavier weight must be put on. If the
turnips are sweet, the kraut will be
found as good and preferred by MANY to
that made from cabbage. 1t requires
longer cooking than other kraut.
Crumb Pie-For quick pie, quick in
baking as well as in making, this is
prize. 1t is also we'll liked among our
children. Line pie tin with good crust,
gil half fnli Ia good big pint) Ct nice
bread, cracker or cake crumbs. CRATE
nutmeg over. then fill with sweetened
cream, 1t is good hot or cold, fresh or
old. When cake crums are used, the
cream need rot be sweetened.

Cranch that this expanse of wood
might be improved by little ornamen'
tatiun. He picked up the poker, heated
it red hot, and began to sketch in a bold
design. The result pleased him so much
that he elaborated his work, and began
to attempt other fire pictures on panels
OF wood. These met with a ready sale,
and Cranch soon gave all his time to
his new art. This was the beginning of
what is now known as typography.

TOO MUCH WASTE PAPER.

BeIlefontsine people are more par
ticulsr today than ever before regard
ing the general appearance of the city,
yet there is a practice of throwing
waste paper and other refuse in the
streets and allevs that should be done
away with at once. In many cities
there Is n concerted movement to Sc
cure against this habit indulged in
thoughtlessly by so many people and
should the matter be brought forcibly
before the minds of Bellefontaine citi-
zens they too could start a crusade
against waste paper on the streets
There is a law prohi biting the scat
tering of advertising matter promis-
cuously about cities and towns as was
once the custom of distributors of this
kind of matter. The Board of Public
Service of Columbus is just now con-
sidering the drafting of ordinances
providing heavy penalties for throw
ing waste paper in the streets and
alleys. A Mansfield firm has made
the Capital City a proposition to put
waste paper receptacles upon the
streets free OF cost. the receptacles to
be used for advertising purposes. Why
does not some enterprising Bellefon-
taine business man make the same Of
fer to the local authorities1 Let rs
have place for waste paper and see
that it is put where it does not maj
the beauty of our streets and side
walks.

has received word that considerable
money is to be expended by his COM
