ERRORS ABOUT THE WHITE
HOUSE.
To the Editor.

TO the Editor:
noticed somewhere recentlv-l
would not say positively that it was in
your columns-an article on the White
house which contained several mis-,
statements.
IN the first place it was stated the
white House was first occupied in
1919 and that its first occupant was
president Madison. The fact is, its
first occupant was President Adams,
who took UP his residence there in
1900
The original mansion was begun in
l792. In 1914 it was burned by the
British and rebuilt in 1915.
Another of the errors in the article
referred to was the statement that
ready-prepared paint is used on the
White House to make it beautifully
wife.
| noticed this especially because |
nave used considerable paint myself
and wondered that canned" paint
should be used on such an important
building when all painters know that
pure white lead and linseed oil make
the best paint.
1t SO happened also that | knew
white lead and linseed oil-not ready.
mixed paint-Were used on the White
House, because had just read a book.
let published by firm of ready-mixed
paint manufacturers who also manu-.
facture pure white lead. In that book
the manufacturers admitted that for
the White House nothing but the
best and purest of paint could be
used" and said that their pure white
lead had been selected.
Above all people, those who attempt
to write on historical subjects should
give us facts even if it is only a date
or a statement about wood. or brick,
or paint, or other building material.
Yours for truth,

THREE WAYS TO MAKE COFFEE.
American, French and Arabian Meth.
DDS of Preparation.

AMERICAN COFFEE.-Real Amer
lean coffee, supposedly made in the
colonial coffee urn, is usually first
boiled in the well-known agate coffee
pot. A little of all the different re-.
cipes goes to make this coffee. First
the coffee bean from across the seas,
then little chicory sometimes and
an eggshell or whole egg to clarity
the mixture, which is boiled up"
and then settled" with few drops
of cold water. After that it is poured
into the elaborate urn as if it had
been made there.
FRENCH COFFEE.-The most per-
feet French coffee is made in the
steam coffee pot, a tall brass affair
with two receptaCles. The lower one
is filed with water. The water is
heated by small lamp and the steam
generated rises to the coffee and is
condensed in the upper receptacle
and comes back again filled with the
delicate aroma Of the coffee. None
of the flavor is allowed to escape,
and the steam coffee is said to be
the strongest and most delicious made
anywhere.
ARABIAN COFFEE.-The Arabian
coffee Is delicious in flavor, due to
the freshly roasted coffee berries and
to the presence of cinnamon. The cot
fee is roasted freshly every day.
After it is thoroughly ground up or
pounded it is passed through a sieve
and only the fine brown -four is used.
Two teaspoonfuls of this flour are
used with two cups of water and
boiled together with little piece of
cinnamon. 1t is boiled, then allowed
to cool off and then boiled again I'M
til it forms a thick paste; then half
a cupful of boiling water is added,
and the coffee is drunk in this semi
thick state without sugar or milk.

WHEN THE HOUSE is CLOSED,
Precautions That Will Save Work
After the Vacation.

Every housewife who closes her
nome several weeks in the summer
time knows the unpleasantness of re,
turning to find everything coated with
dust. And she retains distinct reco}.
iectlons OF the real work entailed in
the busting and shining processes
that must be gone through with.
A little trouble given to the packing
away OF certain things before the
house is closed will make all the diff
ference in the world when the time
comes for reopening the house. In
the first place, the rugs should be
aired and cleaned and then rolled and
placed in a clean, dry closet where
there are no moths. If there are car
pets on the floors do not neglect to
sprinkle them with camphor or some
other moth preventive. for the weeks
when the house is closed provide a
harvest for the greedy little pests.
Bed and table linen should be nut
away into the linen closet and all the
table and bureau covers nicely folded
away. If there is any delicately col.
ored upholstery it should be covered
with cretonne slips. If these things
are done it will be a small matter to
put the house in order again. Per.
haps the most essential thing is to
make sure that no sewer gas will get
into the house while the pipes are un.
used. The best plan is to give all the
pipes in the house a good washing out
with hot suds to which has been
added some washing soda; then let
the water run through for some min.
utes. Pour glycerire into the pipes
just before leaving. 1t is not readily
absorbed and is an excellent pre-
yentiye against the poisonous gas.
Gas and electric light fixtures If
bound with cheese cloth or covered
with any material that will keep out
the dust should be in good condition
when the family returns, for there is
no moisture in the service pipes tc
cause disColoration or rust.

Alum Bakinq Powder is Wholesome.

DR.. Herman Reinbold, the expert
German chemist, in recent official
report concerning Baking Powders,
declares that pure alum baking pow
der is better and less injurious than
the so-called cream of tartar powders
He says that If the quantity of alum
contained in a sufficient quantity of
baking powder for a batch of bread or
cakes for an ordinary family, be con-
centrated TO one mouthful of food
and taken into the stomach of any
one person. no matter how delicate,
it could do no harm. On the contrary,
alum is wholesome in proper quaint.
ties. This is undoubtedly the reason
the State of Missouri quickly repealed
a law that prohibited the manufacture
of the most wholesome of all baking
powders. So much for Alum Baking
Powders.

Apple Slump.

Pare, core and quarter dozen tart,
Juicy apples, pour over them a cupful

two cups molasses. Cook ten minutes,

soft dough. Spread this over the ap.
pies, cover the kettle closely and cook
rs minutes without uncovering. Serve
