HINTS TO HoUsEKEEPERs.

There is no nicer spring breakfast
than sliced green pepper cut very
small and cooked for ten minutes with
two peeled and diced tomatoes in a lit
tie butter; add four eggs lightly beaten
and stir as for scramble.
To tell If diamond is genuine make
a small dot on piece of paper with a
lead pencil, and look at it through the
diamond. If it shows but a single dot,
the diamond is genuine; if it shows
more than one, or the mark appears
scattered, it is false, no matter what
it cost.
Make delicious violet perfume by
putting half an ounce of small pieces
of orris root into two ounces OF alco-
hol. Add to this bunch of newly
picked violets, cork and bottle tightly
and shake well. After it has been
standing four or five days few drops
on the handkerchiefs will leave the
scent of fresh violets.
When the handles of steel knives
and forks come off they can be easily
mended with resin. Pour little DOW
dered resin into the cavity in the han
die. Heat the part of the knife that
fits into the handle until it is red hot,
and thrust into the handle. 1t will
become firmly fixed by the resin when
it becomes cool. Protect the blade
from the heat.
Don't use borax and rosewater to re-
move tan and freckles without putting
on little cold cream afterwards, for
borax makes the skin dry.
A glass of water drunk half an hour
before each meal and just before retir-
ing will frequently regulate the bowels,
so those troubled with constipation
will be all right.
To remove old putty and paint, make
paste with soft soap and a solution
of caustic soda, or with slaked lime
and pearlash. Lay it on with a piece
of rag or brush and leave it for sew
eral hours, when it will be found that
the paint or putty may be easily re-
moved.
Camphor is very useful to freshen
the air of sick room. Put a piece
on an old saucer, and on it lay the
point of a red-hot poker, when its
fumes will quickly fill the room.-Bos-

Isn't This Absolutely Truep

Nothing ever became popular-bere or
IN any other country-without a reason.
Popular men have merit of some kind,
must have, or they would not be popular.
They must have exceptional merit and
wonderful character if their popularity in
creases with time.
As with men, so with goods. So with
any article that is on the market. 1t cam
not increase its sales, it cannot be adopt
ed as standard article, it cannot sur
vive generations unless it have real, inner
emit merit.
Millions of dollars spent in advertising
any article without merit, are just wasted,
so far as continued sales ore concerned.
Intelligent housekeepers cannot be COM
PEELED to buy what they do not approve Of.
That much is q self-evident fact. 1t
cannot be gainsaid. But it tells its own
story of Lion Coffee and its quality-a
coffee that has been the leader Of all
package coffees Tor more than a quarter
of a century, that has steadily grown in
the affections of millions of American
homes since the first introduction, long,
long ago.
It's unexcelled flavor, perfect purity and
uniform quality; its absolute, cleanliness
and neat appearance, have endeared it to
the hearts of the people.
Good grocers will tell you this, but those
who drink coffee ought to know much
more about quality than they who simply
sell it,

SYSTEM IN THE HOUSEHOLD
Housewife Should Provide Herself
with Proper Tools and Establish
q Routine Carefully Followed.


Remember what Is worth doing at all
is worth doing we'll At the very out
set you must make up your mind to
have no careless ways. Be thorough,
be methodical be persevering in learn
Ing and be patient in teaching others.
1t should not be forgotten that there
is economy in having the proper tools
to work with, as well as much less ex-
penditure of time and strength and
possibly temper in performing your
tasks
Every day should claim its own
duties, which should be SO arranged
that one days work will not interfere
with another. If this is done it will
be an easy matter to get through the
daily routine without oyerweariness.
Each apartment should be thor
oughly cleaned once week. A house
hold that is well regulated is often
recognized outside by its clean win
dows In cleaning windows it is we'll
to have little whiting mixed with
water to paste and rubbed on the
panes with piece OF rag or sponge
after the window has been busted.
A dry rubber is lien used to rub off
the whiting and the panes are polished
with a dry leather. Wash channels
feathers in two warm, soapy fathers
made by dissolving one tablespoonful
Of soap jelly in half gallon Of water.
Rinse in clear water, squeeze as dry as
possible and several times while dry
ing rub between the hands to prevent
them from getting hard
1t frequently happens that painters
| splash the plate or other glass windows
when they are painting the stills. When
| this is the case melt some soda in very
hot water and wash them with it, u.s.
ing soft flannel. 1t will entirely re-
move the paint.
A thorough housekeeping should
commence at the top of the house and
work downwards. In this case it may
be undertaken by spells, with inter
vening rests. After the floors are
| cleaned the walls and ceilings claim at
tention.
Paint should be cleaned by using
only little water at time and chang
ing often. A soft flannel cloth Or
sponge is better than cotton or a
brush. A piece of wood with sharp
point should be used for the corners.
Where the paint is stained with smoke
some ashes or potash I've may be used.
A soft linen towel should be used for
wiping dry

Cure for Sore Throat.

If you are sufferer from this very
common malady, you may be quickly
benefited by a. perfectly delicious and
soothing preparation for sore
throat, which is, in fact, lemonade
made without the addition of water.
Crate the rind from one lemon and
squeeze the juice from two over about
two heaped teaspoonfuls of sugar. Be
very careful to crate only the yellow,
as the white gives a bitter flavor: add
the juice and the grated rind of an
orange; let this stand ten or fifteen
minutes and then strain through a
cloth. The result is a strip with q re-
freshing and delicious taste, which
quickly assuages the irritation in the
throat,
