Gas-stove Hints.

In using an oven the burners should
be lighted for at least five minutes be
fore any food is put in.
Keep all gas stops closed unless in
use. so that none of the fuel will be
wasted and accidents from escaping gas
avoided.
The stop in the connecting pipe must
also be turned off when the range is
not in use for cooking, for no -uel can
then leak out.
If the burner is double one the out.
er circle is lighted first, then the stop
of the other is turned on, and the fame
spreads to the inner burner.
As soon as any food comes to boil
ing point the fame may be turned
down to at least half of its original
strength and the liquid will continue
to bubble and cook.
In lighting burner the stop" in
the main pipe must first be turned on,
then the jet in the burners opened for
two or three seconds 10 allow the gas
to fill the pipes, after which the match
may be applied
The gas should burn clear and blue.
If it is yellow and starts off with a
roar it is burning in the air chamber
and must be turned off at once until
the Gas has flowed in for a few seconds
LONGER when a match may again be an
piled.

NJ SPELLING GERM KILLED.
Paragraph In Appropriation Bill
Makes Webster "A Lnxx

Paragraph In Appropriation Bill
Makes Webster "a Law.
Congress has nipt the nu spelling
thoroly, and altho the President wisht
that many words might be lopt and
clipt, all those not recognized by the
dictionaries will be ript out of the govt.
At the capitol they are not dasht nor
distrest, but ut the White House the
atmosfere is mkt with suffer.
According to Washington dispatches
1t seems literally true that Congress has
taken the first step toward an official
and legal Reputation of the new spell
ing system suggested by President
Roosevelt last summer and adopted by
all the executive departments of the
government in all printed matter ever
since. Hereafter. if a section in the
legislative, executive and judicial APP
preparation bill gets through withou.
the presidential veto the President and
his executive subordinates may write
as they please, but their c0mmunlca-
tions will all be printed in the good
old way and the government of the
United States will be officially tied up
to Webster and other standard die
tionaries until some other Congress
comes along and makes some change.
1t viii be out of the power of any
one, be he President or clerk, to vary
the system of spelling without violating
the plain law of the land
When the legislative. executive and
judicial appropriation bill was formal
ly submitted to the House from the
appropriations committee Friday it con-
tanned this section:
Hereafter in printing documents au-
thorized by law or ordered by Congress,
or either branch thereof. the government
printing office shall follow the rules of
photography established by Webster or
the other generally accepted dictionaries
of the English language.
All the printing done by the depart
ments is of course authorized by law,
because otherwise it could not be done
at all except at the expense of the in
dividual. The Presidents message is
no exception to this rule. If the sec
ton stays in the bill, as seems more
than likely. the attempt of President
Roosevelt to simplify the spelling of
the language by official precept and ex-
ample will have failed entirely. The
action of the great appropriations COM
mittee of the House, a correspondent
says, may almost certainly be taken as
expressing the sentiments of Speaker
Cannon and Republican and Demo
cratic leaders generally.

Scolding the Children.

Suppose you are the mother, and
the children dash into your presence
with some experience of childish tri-
umph to relate: now is your test. The
children's eyes are like diamonds as
they tell their story, and all the eager
ness of their sinless souls is shining
through them. but from large round
hole in a new pair of stockings a little
round knee stares at you-a dear, soil
ed. plump, pink baby knee it is, and
you love lie owner of il Well, you
know how it irritates you when you
see the hole in the stocking. What do
you 10 then? Do you still see the love
and joy shining in their eyes. or do
you frown and scold and send the
children away TO be cleaned up. as
though the soil on their faces and
clothes were spots on their souls in

Women Not All Hy.tericaI.

Women are sometimes regarded as
likely to lose their heads and
grow hysterical with fear in times of
sudden danger, but every little while
some incident occurs which puts them
in another light. An open car filled
with passengers ran away down a long
hill in New York the other day. When
il was found that the car was beyond
control many passengers screamed and
jumped, and some were badly hurt.
A woman who had a baby in her arms
stood calmly up in her place, motioned
to a man on the street who was
watching the approaching car, tossed
the baby to him as the car passed,
and then sat down The man caught
the baby, and in a few minutes the
mother walked back, thanked him, and
took the child. Nothing panicky about
that!

Opalescent and gold spangles, with
raised gold figures and tiny gold beads
and colored embroidery outlined in gilt
beads, are much used on net. These
come in the very narrow edgings.

Good Home-Made screen.

This screen is made in three parts,
the central part being just twice the
width of the outer sections. Height
and width must be accommodated TO
the room in which it is to be used.
-Four uprights will be needed, and
these will serve as the sides of the
frame, which is to be made for each
section. Two of the long uprights will
be used for the central part, and one
each for the outside parts, shorter
pieces being used for the other up
rights of the outside sections.
There are crosspieces at the top, bot
tom and middle (see dotted lines) of
each section. When the three parts
