but can be made to go farther nv
mixing with sirup made from granu-
lated sugar. The resulting milde,
flavor is much preferred by some.
The sorghum is much more sure to
agree with weak stomachs that have
a craving for something sweet thar
any other sweet that We know of. In
fact We have known cases where it
seemed to possess a decided curative
power, and where it is manufactured
by some local factorymen known to
be careful and clean 1t is far superior,
In our judgment. to the golden sir

A dessert of a dish of canned fruit
(or fresh In its season) with bread
and butter or simple sponge cakes or
cookies for those with the sweet
tooth Is to be preferred to SO much

say canned fruit we do not mean that

WORk-BASKET HINTS.
Some Suggestions About Mending,
Repairing, Shrinking Trimming for
Wash Dresses-Bathing Suit.

The difficulty in mending large holes
in fine old linen is found in keeping fiat
and not drawing it up. This is much
more esaily accomplished if a piece
of fine tulle is basted over the hole and
the darn then made in the meshes of
it. The best thread for darnlng is that
pulled or drawn from another piece of
linen. This will be found preferable to
flax, as it is much more even.
When the skirtband or pocket hole
keeps wearing out and much strain Is
put on the band, piece of leather cut
from an old glove should be stitched
down the back of the placket and to
the inside of the waistband. This will
keep 1t firm and make good founda-
tion toT sewing on hooks and eyes.
Many summer gowns are ruined after
their first visit to the laundry because
the braid with which they are trimmed
shrinks. To avoid this, shrink the
braid before making the dress
