Business side of housekeeping.

Many women have real business sa-
gacity and ability, and some of them
are realizing that the financial admin
istration Of a household affords scope
for their special gift and that wise
spending is as large factor in pros
perity as effective earning. When WO-
men are trained to a knowledge Of
values and business principles and
then have the responsibility for house
hold finances placed upon them, they
not only come face to face with prob
lens of great Importance and interest,
but often solve them with entirely
satisfactory results. The number is in
.creasing of those households where
the wives and mothers have definite
pecuniary responsibilities and do not
have to resort to subterfuge or dis
honest practices to secure the money
necessary to meet legitimate personal,
household and family expenses. The

If you find any one determined to
talk failure and illness and misfortune
and disaster, walk away. You would
not permit the dearest person on earth
to administer slow poison to you If
you knew 1t. They why think it your
duty to take mental foods which par
alyze your courage and kill your happi-
ness? Do what you csin to change their
current of thought, but do not associ-
ate intimately with them until they
have learned to keep silent-at least
if they cannot speak hopefully. Many
a vivacious young girl has come I'M
Ger the influence of just such 'swet
blanket" and had all the joy Of life
talked out Of her. Sunshiny wives are
wanted in these days Of hard toll and
still harder competition.

THE KITCHEN SINK.

Keep 1t Absolutely Clean If You
Value the Family Health
Grease in the sink is a very prolific
cause of disease. It necessarily accu-
mulates from dishes and utensils, and
1t cllngs to both wooden and metallic
waste pipes, although more readily and
tenaciously to the former. With it
usually adhere very small bits Of vege-
table matter which while decaying
shelter and nourish mischievous bac-
terra, and, besides, the grease will clog
the drain after time and, being i'm
pervious to cold water, will become
both menace and an inconvenience
Indeed, a kitchen drain is sure to be-
come stopped unless 1t is frequently
washed out with some powerful solvent
that will liquefy, combine with or alter
the grease and at the same time de-
stroy all vegetable or animal particles
that cling with it to the inner surface
of the pipe. This publication should
take place at least once week In sum-
mer and winter. The surest and sim
plest cleansing agent for wooden or
iron drains Is strong solution Of pot
ash or washing sods made with boiling
water. The sink should first be scrub
bed with soapsuds and then the solu-
ton should be dashed while very hot
over the entire surface After the liquid
has run off, rapidly pour a generous
quantity, also very hot, directly into
the drainpipe, which Is sure to need
publication most-Boston Herald.

Warning to Housewives.

A cook Of thirty years experience
points out that such combinations as
meat cooked in conjunction with flour
(sausages and pork pies) are liable to
turn sour in tWenty-four hours, and
this sourness, which can be detected
both by taste and smell, indicates the
presence of poison. This applies to
soups, stews, gravies, ETC., which have
been thickened with flour, as well as to
sausages and meat pies. If before the
sourness supervenes such things are
eaten hot or cold or made hot up to
boiling point they are safe, but simply
warming up hastens the generation of
the poison.

the world and it's doings Daily she
walks about the garden or sits upon the
porch In sunny weather to chat with
neighbors, to sew or to live over in
memory scenes of long ago And what
a memory is hers! She was tiny
maid when the French revolution was
dyeing the cutters Of Paris red, she
was a laughing schoolgirl Of seven
when Tennessee was admitted as a
state to the Union, she was blushing
bride when the great Napoleon coded
Louisiana to the United States and a
proud young mother when Lewis and
Clark tramped over a continent to
where rolls the Oregon" And she
well remembers her father taking down
his old gun, shouldering his blankets
and going out to fight the battles Of his
country in the war Of 1912.
Though probably the oldest woman
in the world, her intellect is still bright
and keen, as Is shown by the fact that
during the past year her testimony de-
cided a lawsuit and settled the title
to property which was decided over for
ty years ago. Her answers were to
the point, and efforts to confuse her
were Unavailing. She testified regard
ing minute details, showing that the
years have not dulled her recollection.
One feels a sort Of awe in talking
with and gazing upon one who has
seen so much and lived so long in this
world Of ours. Her face is study in
wrinkles. Her voice Is a quaver, but
her carriage is good and her manner
alert. And yet no one can see her and
yearn to live the number of years she
has.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Paner Bags.

1t is well that housewives should
know that paper bags are made Of a
compound Of rags, lime, glue and SINH
lar substances mixed with chemicals
and acids. When dry these can do no
harm, but If allowed to become damp
a paper bag is unfit to touch articles Of
food. Never, therefore, keep food that
is of damp or juicy nature in paper

A Novel Cosmetic.

Hear me, We followers of the beauty
SHOW! Ny grandmother died at the
ripe age Of ninety. She had been in her
youth a beautiful woman, and here l
give her only cosmetic: Pure fresh lard
rubbed into the skin after the bath and
removed within half an hour with ordi-
nary wheat flour. Her skin was like
velvet when she died, and her pink
and white would put many Of your
beauty followers to the blush when she
was in her very last days.-Avis Gray

Carbonate of Soda.

Always keep carbonate of soda in the
house. It is useful for many pur-
poses. For burns and scalds 1t is an
excellent remedy. The surface Of the
burn should be covered with it, either
dry or just dampened. It relieves the
pain caused by the bites or, stings Of
insects. A small saltspoonful in half
a tumblerful Of wafer will relieve
heartburn and indigestion and, If taken
with tepfd water the last thing at
night, Will frequently induce sleep in
restless persons.

UTILIZING TOWELS.

They Make Very Pretty House Deco
ratiOns and Bed Coverings.
Towels Of heavy weave made into
house decorations and bed coverings
are popular and economic schemes, as
are Russian crash portieres.
Towels as pillow covers may be used
just as they are bought, with the fringe
on, or If little more decoration is de-
sired the fringe is cut off and the edges
fashioned into scallops. For the spread
it will be necessary to sew together
two or perhaps three extra length tow
els, and to make 1t wide enough to Gov
er the bed two or more must be Joined
together on the long edges.
Even the heavy white and brown
bath towels can be effectively used,
and at little expense, and if stamped
and worked with a figure in bright
color they make really pretty cover
ings.
In the same way they may be con-
verified into tablespreads, the number
Of towels to be sewed together depend
ing on the size of the table.
Still another use can be made Of tow
els. They look well when hung as
portieres between the rooms, but if
plain ones are not desirable Russian
crash, which Is similar to toweling,
may be bought in strips Of bright colors
or delicate shades and substituted
without departing from the scheme Of
using all towel decorations. Fringe
from the towels can be sewed to the
crash curtains if it has been left OH
the coverings; otherwise a pretty way
10 finish them is in scallops or dia-
monds or whatever scheme has been
followed with the rest Of the trim,

HousehoId Expenses.

Whether 1t is the home of the multi
millionaire or that of the humblest
clerk in his employ, the amount Of
money to be spent Oh running the
house should be carefully thought out
and systematized Many families pre-
fer monthly payments, but for persons
in moderate circumstances 1t will be
found much more economical and
there will be fewer temptations to run
into debt If everything is paid by the
week. No doubt the best method Of
all is cash basis, but this has it's in
Econveniences. One cannot always find
what is required in shop, and the
polite butcher or provision dealer, as
the case may be, suggests that there is
no haste about the payment; that he
will get the article at the lowest pos
sible rate for you. This is a great ac-
commodation in these days, when time
is money to so many. Then often a
little more is expended on the article
than would have been necessary had
the purchaser been present A small
matter of a few cents on a pound
seems a paltry sum to fuss over, but
few cents on several purchases
reach the dollar mark very soon, and
when the accounts come in sometimes
the results Of such a system are ap-
palling. If the credit system is fol-
lowed 1t is very much better to let
things alone when the price is an I'M
certain quantity.
It is difficult to form any idea Of
what household expenses should aver
age each month, as the tastes and
habits Of individuals vary greatly. An
estimate given recently, based on care
full calculation, seems a very fair one
for an ordinary family's expenditure
for table expenses. From the sum al
lowed for housekeeping one-third goes
to the butcher, to the grocer one-ffth,
the same to the dairy, the baker
claims one-ninth, while to the fish
man and greengrocer is allotted one
fourteenth Of the amount -PhiladeI-
