LINEN FOR THE KITCHEN.
Good Housekeeper Pays Much Atten.
ton to This.

The kitchen department should re-
ceive the same careful attention that
is lavished on the more snowy table
linen.
The homely things of the kitchen
may not be quite as apparent to your
guests as the napkins and doilies, but
there is great peace and self-respect
for the housekeeper in the knowledge
of neat piles of towels and busters.
A dozen crash towels of two grades,
coarse for kitchen utensils and finer
for china; dozen glass towels for sill
yer, glass and porcelain; a half-dozen
heavy crash floor cloths; half-dozen
dish cloths; a dozen busters of cheese
cloth or, as some greatly prefer, silk
aleen a haif-dozen roller towels; two
or three canton flannel bags to pin
over the broom in busting polished
floors. and three chamois skins for
polishing silver or brass-all these
hemmed by machine if need be, by
hand if possible, and marked with red
cross stitch in a uniform manner-all
these are essential to neat work in the
kitchen.

HOW CLASSIC WAS WRITTEN.
Bret Harte's Great Poem Result of an
Inspiration.

The war correspondent, Frederic
Villiers, has recorded a talk with
Bret Harte apropos of the poem,
Dickens in Camp" I'VE all felt his
loss most keenly in the States" said
Harte:
On hearing of his death CD sat
down about three in the afternoon to
write an editorial on the great au-

up. Then another, after much pains,
was written. This did not please me,

BLOOD GETS SOUR.

At this time of year, says we'll

weak, clogged and inactive, failing to
filter out the poisons and acids, which
sour the blood, causing not only facial
and bodily eruptions, but the worst
forms of Rheumatism, Nervous and
Stomach troubles, Backache and pain
full, annoying Urinary Affections.
1t is worth anyone's time now to get
from some good prescription pharmacy
the following ingredients: Fluid EX-

pound Kargon, one ounce; Compound
Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mix
by shaking well in a bottle and take
in teaspoonful doses after your meals
and at bedtime.
This simple homemade mixture will
force the Kidneys to normal, healthy
action, so they will filter and strain all
uric acid and poisonous waste matter
from the blood, and eXpel this in the
urine at the same time restoring the

GONE FOREVER.

Ten years ago farmer put his ini-
tails on a dollar bill. The next day he
went to the nearest town and spent it
with a merchant. Before the year was
out he got the dollar back. Four times
in six years the dollar came back to
him for produce and three times he
heard of it in the pocket of his neigh
bors.
The last time he got it back four
years ago. He sent it to mail order
house. He never has seen that dollar
since, and never will. That dollar bill
will never pay any more school or
road tax for him, will never build or
brighten any of the homes of the CON-
munity. He sent it entirely out of
the circle of usefulness to himself and
his neighbors.
Patronize your local merchant who
helps you to pay your taxes, support
your schools and churches, and lends
a helping hand in times of sickness
and trouble.

CHANGE IN THE HOME.
Good Thing to Get Away from Mo-
notony of Sameness.

There are hundreds of women who
clean house and every article, even
down to an insignificant little pin
cushion, is put right back in its old
accustomed place. There is nothing so
monotonous as a house forever pre-
senting the same appearance. 1t is
pleasant to make a cheerful change
in every room. There is woman
who makes It rule to always change
some of her pictures. She has a num-
Der of beautiful frames, so she Sc
lects new prints for them. The best
masters are copied and it is possible
to secure beautiful pictures for only
a little money. Then the old prints
may be put away for future use. It
has a great deal TO do with making
home look a little more cheerful
Women have learned that few good
articles in. a room are more artistic
than great amount of gaudy furni-
ture, and this new regime of house
hold affairs is responsible for less
work, too. In this age, when there
is every convenience imaginable, it
really seems strange that any we'll
regulated household would need the
assistance of servants only on spe-
cial occasions. But it seems the
more women have to work with, the
less able are many to do even a little
work without having the assistance
of a hired girl. To properly man
age a home every woman must use
her hrainS to save bnr EtranCth and
many do. but there are great many
who merely exist in houses and do
not live in homes.

Oven Suggestions.

To have the oven at just the right
degree of heat is one of the most i'm
portant points in cooking
A simple and easy test is to put a
piece of white paper in the oven,
says practical hOusekeeper.
If the paper becomes dark brown
the heat is at the proper temperature
for pies, If it is a light brown you
can cook tarts.
For bread, heavy cakes like pound
or fruit, meat pies or roast meat. the
paper should turn a dark yellow.
while if it is just tinged with color
the oven is fit for delicate cookies.

This is the most critical period of

at this time invites disease and pain.
When her system is in deranged

Does Not Think Thirteen UnluCky.

Friends Of the Blackstone Iusti-
tute do not think thirteen to be
an unlucly number. The thir-
teenth session of the school has
just closed, and it was the most
prosperous in the history of the
school in every way. The enroll
ment was 391, the largest in the
history of the school. The senior
class numbered fifty, the largest in
the history-of the school. Gifts to
the institution have amounted to
nearly $4,000, the largest in the
history of the school in any one
year. The religious work has
greatly proSpered. During the
year the Institute in union with
the Blackstone Church has sent out
its OWN Representative in the mis-
sion field of Japan. These facts
clearly demonstrate that there is
nothing in the unlucky number
thirteen superstition except the
Imagination of the observer.
