Cockroa ches or Waterbugs.-While these
are sometimes designated as clean bugs"
meaning that even the most careful of
housekeepers can never be sure of remain
ing immune from their catholic attentions,
they are not to be encouraged to remain.
Their favorite habitat is about the station
airy tubs. around the water pipes, kitchen
boiler sinks and pantry shelves. They, too
love darkness and the approach of light
sends them scurrying TO cover. While roach
salts and other patent foods intended for
their delectauon and consequent immola-
ton are more or less efficacous there
must first of all be scrupulous cleanliness
in the matter of crumbs greasy pipes and
drains and foods left uncooked on the PAN
try shelves. All garbage receptacles must
be kept covered and Pussy's and Fido's
plates be carefully washed at night. If
there Is nothing to eat they-that Is. the
bugs-will seek more hospitable quarters
very liberal use of gasoline or kerosene
Will hasten their flying feet. 1t destroys
eggs as well as the living creatures. 1t
should be poured around sinks baseboards
and all the runways they frequent most
and the application kept up for several
weeks until II is well borne in upon the
waterbugs comprehension that there is
nothing doing for them in that particular
house Care must again be exercised that
no fame or lighted taper comes near the
places being treated.
An Ancient and Dishonorable Specimen
The most disgusting of all household pests
Is the one probably referred 10 IN the Ola
English Bible of 1851, Thou shalt not nede
to be afraid for eny Bugges by night" A
great promise this. if one has ever been
obliged to take room for a night in a hos
telry where they have been allowed to null
tiply. While even the neatest housekeeper
is often obliged to suffer for the careless
ness of her neighbors, these bugs should
be fought tooth and nail until routed. In
many cases, too, they are believed to breed
in the wood. especially If of soft pine. In
an apartment house they usually enter the
lower part first, then make their way up.
There are now in the large cities accred-
tied bug killers" who guarantee to clear
house in few days time, and mo clear
no pay" Their first step is to locate their
special runway and seal with common
soap or other filler that hardens. Then all
cracks, crevices, doors and windows are
closed and certain disinfectants burned.
After this there is local treatment In all
cracks and crannies-
This is said to be most effectual. For the
housekeeper again there is nothing better

HE truly economical house,
keeper does not waste any
thing that is left over. 1t is
really quite surprising how
many dainty dishes can be made from
next to nothing The cold scraps ordi-
narily thrown away by the less thrifty
housewife are, with the addition of lit
tie savory touches and clever prepare
ton, made into very appetizing lunch
con and breakfast dishes by the true
domestic economist.
Shortly after the holidays a little
friend whose family was small and who
did her own cooking had an unexpected
visitor, whom she had to invite to
luncheon. She looked with dfsmay at
the pantry shelves. There was a small
remnant of turkey, which they had
tried to eat up and succeeded in such
degree that its battered remains looked
quite uninviting. There were dish of
cold, mashed potatoes, some slices of
dry fruit cake and a piece of custard
pie. She had been busy and intended
TO make her lunch on toast and tea.
But with company that was different
She could not leave her visitor alone
while she went to the grocery. which
was some distance away, and there was
nobody else to send. So there was
nothing for it but to make the best of
what was in the house, and to do it
quickly, while her wee son entertained
the visitor. She cut the meat from the
turkey into small pieces and put it
warming in a cream sauce. And. by
the way, to make your cream sauce
smooth and absolutely without Iunups
the only safe way is to melt the butter
IN the saucepan first. then remove from
the f1re and mix the -four with it. Add
the milk or cream. replace on the stove
ana stir constantly until it thickens.
She now mixed quickly a little ME
paste and with the creamed turkey
made some patties. which were soon in
the oven.
Mashed potatoes are horrible warmed
over, and SO she proceeded to make mo-
tato fritters Herewith. These are de-
hcious and fairly melt in your mouth.
To every cupful Of mashed potato add a
clIpful of milk and one of flour. a ninch
of salt and teaspoonful of baking
powder. FRY in little round fritters and
serve hot. With the turkey patties
supplemented by pickles bread and
butter and teA, they made a plain b,,t
dainty luncheon, together with the
alices OF stale cake. which had been nut

Christening Presents.

The old fashioned christening is I'M
dergoing a change in more ways than
one, the simplicity which once marked
such an event giving way to an elab-
grafton of detail approaching that of a
fashionable wedding. The silver gilt
mug, the fork and spoon. the silver
bread and milk bowl, are now giving
place to dainty bits of jewelry in the
case of a girl for the baby's future
wear. This innovation has found favor
in the eyes of her majesty, the queen of
England, for not long ago, when acting
as sponsor at the christening of Lord
and Lady Curzon's little daughter. the
queen bestowed upon her tiny name
sake lovely piece of jewelry.

Many kinds of omelets may be made
of left overs, and If one has a variety
of odds and ends of peas, beans and the
like they will make a nice Spanish ON
elet. There are so many variations of
this especially savory omelet that no
hard and fast rules need be adhered to.
Some small strips of fried bacon, a
finely cut up onion, a small red pepper
or dust of paprika, some peas, string
beans, a few mushrooms cut up and
some canned tomato enter into the me-

sort of sauce. Care must be taken not
to introduce enough tomato into the
mixture to make it thin and watery.

eggs and three tablespoonfuls of milk.
To make this nice beat the eggs very
light, add the milk and salt to taste,
