Toasting Bread.
1t Is well known that dry charcoal will
sweeten almost anything with which it IL
brought in contact. Its disinfecting uses
apply to the stomach the same as to Other
things. Toasting bread chars a certain
amount Of 1t, and 1t therefore is to that ex-
tent disinfectant or sweetener. but the
most important change is chemical one
caused by the application Of intense heat In
toasting. Bread when toasted Is changed
to what the chemists call dextrtne. which
Is part Of the change that takes place in d.
gestton, so that toasted bread makes q
more suitable food for those who are sick
To get good results the slices should be cut
thin and heat enough applied to drive al

To Remove
Grease spots from carpets sprinkle pow
dered fuler's earth thickly on the spot,
cover with a piece OF coarse brown paper
and put a hot iron on the paper; when the
Iron Is cold remove 1t, but do not brush
Off the fuller's earth for several hours.
Bits of knowledge.
Orange peel, dried and grated makes a
fine yellow powder that is delicious flavor
ing for cakes and puddngs
TO remove finger marks from door knobs
and locks. use pure soap and old Cheese
cloth.
Fish are scalded and fowl are plucked
more quickly If dipped into boiling water
for an instant.
Mating may be cleansed with salt water
and small brush. Rinse and dry thor
oughly.
Bread which is to be kept long should
be kneaded longer than that which Is
meant for tomorrow'S use.
The sklmming of fat from off soups. etc.,
should be saved for frying purposes.
Silver Articles
That have become furnished, even If en-
bossed or engraved, may be quite quickly
cleaned by the use of alum Dissolve an
ounce in a quart OF soapsuds and wash
carefully, using a brush for the carved
parts. Rinse the article several times.
then dry with a soft cloth and polish with
Chamois. Hot soapsuds with ammonia
also will clean the silver quickly and well.
IN such a way that there need be no trou-
blesome brushing with one or another OF
the pink or white powders which have
such way for lodging in the ornamental
parts.
Where q House
Is being done up paint is not infrequently
split on doorsteps, and 1t is sometimes
found difficult to remove. In that case
make a strong solution OF potash and wash
the steps, simply leaving the solution TO
soak in. In q short time the paint will be-
come soft and then can be washed OF with
soap and water Then use cold water.
Paint which has been left for some time
will yield to this treatment.

the moisture out Of them. The heat should
be applied slowly at first. A good way is to
put the slices OF bread in an oven and then
only partly close the oven door. When the
bread Is moderately dry it should be taken
out and toasted. II the slices are cut thick
and only toasted little on the outside the
moisture IN the bread merely Is driven to
tn, center of the slice. making it much like
dough and wholly unfit for the uses usually
desired.
Bread never should be buttered before
toasting. as butter melted by the fire is
chemically changed and Injurious to the
stomach. II the slices be thick end care
iessly exposed to a blazing fire the outside
is biackened and made into charcoal before
the neat can reach the inside. The mois-
ture is only heated. not evaporated, and
makes the inside doughty or cIammy And
butter when spread upon the bread cannot
tie form of oil, and the result is one of
the most indigestible compounds The cor
rect way Is to have the bread stale and
cut into thin uniform slices and cry 1t
thoroughly before browning it.
Bananas.
Baked Bananas and Apples-Remove the
skin from large, ripe bananas, put them
in porcelain or granite baking pan; add
six tablespoonful Of. water: bake In q
quick oven for twenty minutes, basting
three or four times. Core. without pairing,

French Salad.
Peel three Spanish onions. scoop a tea
spoonful Of the center OF each. and half fill
the cavity with butter and a seasoning Of
salt and pepper; put in a baking pan and
cook in moderate oven until brown. When
the onions are cold cut them into quarters
and place them on a bed Of watercress: skin
and bone a half dozen sardines and lay
them on the quarters of onion. Make a
mayonnaise dressing. to which add one tea
spoonful Of curry powder. and pour over
hard-boiled eggs, sliced and sprinkle over
all a little chopped parsley and chervil. The
curry may be omitted.

The Simplest
And surest way of intoxicating good man.
ners In children is in practicing them your
self. and a home where courtesy and con-
sideration for others is the keynote scarcely
can fail to be a happy one. A pretty baby
way Of the best-mannered boy Of my &C.
quaintance was to kiss his mothers hand.
1t was not merely the instinct of an affec-
tionate heart: he had seen his father do 1t
SO repeatedly that 1t began as one OF the
initiative acts to which children are 80
prone.
1t is not an easy task that Of cooking and
serving a meal, and Of moiding the chill
drens manners. at the same time, but
where parents are in accord 1t can be done.
AS to when one shall begin. 1t Is well to
remember oliver Wendell Holmes famous
saying when. upon being asked, How soon
should one begin to train childT' he re-
piled. Three hundred years before 1t Is
born" Failing the ability to do this. II Is
we'll at least to begin a few months after
child is born. as he can be made to com
prehend. and this Is at younger age than
many parents think.
One of the worst faults to which young
children are liable consists In interrupting
the conversation Of older people. Another
tendency which brings the blush OF shame
to a mothers brow Is that which children
have to contradict the statements OF their
elders This Is 80 strong a habit with
many children that 1t is only necessary
for a mother to make statement involving
statistics to elicit the ever ready 'Oh. no:
1t was only three times" or, only two
miles" Nor IL 1t confined to young chill
dren. but IL quite as common, and much
more shameful. among grown boys and
girls. II taken In time. this should not be
difficult to correct. but the first step must
be on the part Of the parent. who must take
the greatest care to be truthful.s
It Is
AS natural for children to be busy as it 10
for them to breathe; they cannot and
should not be stiu during their waking
hours. All the time they are playing they
are acquiring physical and mental vigor,
and that shows that whatever tends to-
ward the development of the child In any
direction is of the, nature of occupation,
and Is of value in proportion as 1t is
adapted to his general and specific needs.

called to consider the ACCESSIBILITY of
improving the country roads leading

cooperate with the5pathmasters in the
adjoining road districts and by CON
certed effort to get the roads into the
best possible condition. Two years
ago the Commercial club gathered
practically all the business men of the
village and in one days strenuous
labor placed a half mile of the worst
road in the vicinity in such good
shape that it is today the best piece of
road leading into town. at now is
proposed to have another such "bee',
and to put another piece into as good
condition. There is plenty of gravel
available to carry out this purpose. >

Uncle SAM" Uncle Sam placed
Tucker under surveillance for a while
and then arrested him for using the
United States mails for the purpose of
defrauding the public. At the time of
arrest Tucker had landed many a
sucker. He had cleaned up about
